Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 112 Suicide

"Second Miss, it's already so late, will it be dangerous for the young master to go down the mountain alone?"

Xiangyu was a little worried.

Although she didn't know what had happened between her young lady and her cousin, it was getting dark and the mountain road in Yuntai Mountain was difficult to travel on. A pampered young man like her cousin usually went out of the house either in a carriage or in a sedan chair. He had never walked a single step on his own.

If she falls off the mountain or gets lost, won’t the eldest aunt in the mansion come to find the second young lady and hold her accountable?

Shen Qingyu was still shivering from the cold. She pulled her purple robe closer, but could not feel any warmth. Her eyes were distant but resolute. "He can't stay on the mountain."

The rumors in Jinling Prefecture were all started by her, but if Xiao Qingye was involved, things would become complicated.

The person she wanted to marry was Nan Rongyan, not Xiao Qingye.

"What the Second Miss is worried about is that Aunt Liu is probably worried about not being able to find any evidence against the Second Miss. If she knew that the young master stayed in the villa in Yuntai Mountain, she would definitely make a big fuss about it."

Aunt Liu is already difficult to deal with. If Shen Ruyan knew that there was an entanglement between her precious son and Shen Qingyu, and then there was also an elder aunt who was eyeing the Shen family and had ulterior motives, her situation would become even more difficult.

Shen Qingyu clenched her hands. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Qingye's appearance was just an accident.

Xiao Qingye never appeared in the story. Perhaps he should have been looking for his true life and happiness in the world that belonged to him, instead of being entangled with her and mixed up in this mess.

There will always be regrets in a person's life.

She might regret missing Xiao Qingye, but who can say that this is the right thing to do?

Shen Qingyu turned and walked inside, her hands tightly clutching the robe she was wearing.

It's not that she couldn't feel Xiao Qingye's affection for her. In the Shen Mansion, he treated her particularly specially. Their daily companionship had already unknowingly exceeded the normal limits. However, Xiao Qingye was a wild and unrestrained person. Shen Qingyu only thought that she had caught the eye of this pampered young master and did not delve into the issue of love between men and women.

But she pretended to be deaf and dumb, thinking that it was not excessive for brother and sister to be a little intimate, but she forgot that in this era, they were cousins ​​who could get married.

She treated what happened today as a mistake he made while in his sleep. The nobleman on the pleasure boat who was entangled in many romantic affairs at that time might not care about such a kiss at all.

And she couldn't care about that. What she cared about was Nan Rongyan, the superior male protagonist.

He had to trample Aunt Liu and Shen Xitong into the mud to avoid a miserable life.

If she chooses Xiao Qingye, she might have a good future, but she will still have to struggle in the Xiao family's status, face Shen Ruyan's calculating face, and then push Nan Rongyan and Shen Xitong further and further away step by step.

She can't do this.

"Second Miss, Second Miss!"

The incense box ran over in a panic, disrupting Shen Qingyu's thoughts.

Xiang He was timid to begin with, and now he looked even more frightened, as if he had curled up into a ball and couldn't even walk steadily.

Xiangyu hurried forward to support the incense box, and seeing her pale face, she hurriedly asked, "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

"Dead, dead, this servant saw..."

Xiang He was so frightened that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't speak clearly.

"What did you see?"

"Manager Li..."

"he died?"

Shen Qingyu completed all the words that Xiang He couldn't say. Xiang He covered his mouth with his hands and cried, nodding heavily.

It was so scary, really so scary. It was the first time in her life that she saw a dead person, lying on the ground covered in blood.

Shen Qingyu and Xiangyu looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

When he was about to return home, Manager Li died. It couldn't be a coincidence.

Although Manager Li was found to be responsible for the necrosis of the new tea presented to the court, Shen Qingyu did not have much evidence to bring Manager Li under arrest. Furthermore, in order not to alert the enemy, Shen Qingyu withdrew those who were secretly following Manager Li. Manager Li should not have discovered that Shen Qingyu was suspecting him. Even if he did, if he insisted that he was confused and failed to do his job well, the Shen family would at most expel him from the villa. Could they kill him?

"Did he commit suicide?"

Shen Qingyu asked again, but he was even more confused. Manager Li was not the kind of person who would resolutely commit suicide. What could have forced him to commit suicide?

After Xiang He was surprised, he felt relieved at this moment. "Manager Li said that he was sorry for the Shen family and caused irreparable losses to the Shen family, so, so he..."

Xiang He hurriedly took out the suicide note left by Manager Li. Shen Qingyu took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Manager Li took all the blame for the necrosis of the new tea presented as tribute to the court.

After reading it carefully twice, the whole process of the matter was exactly the same as what Shen Qingyu had thought. However, he felt that something was missing. Shen Qingyu could not see what it was, nor could he find any flaws.

Xiangyu was very happy. "Second Miss, this is good. Now we have this suicide note from Manager Li. As long as we give it to the master, we will be done with our mission. And when the master finds out that the Shen family has planted thousands of new tea plants elsewhere to pay tribute to the court, he will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Oh, Second Miss, I still remember that before you left the house, the master promised you that when you reach the age of marriage, you can choose your own husband, and the master cannot stop you at that time."

No matter how Manager Li died, the fact that he is dead now is a good thing for the Second Miss. When the Second Miss returns home tomorrow, she will see what excuses Aunt Liu and the Eldest Miss can use to embarrass her.

"Congratulations, Second Miss," Xiang He was overjoyed when he heard this, and all the fear he had just felt disappeared. "Second Miss, we can finally return home safely, congratulations, Second Miss."

Although this was a good thing, it made her feel that it was a little unreal.

The dusk fades and night falls.

A few lonely stars are hanging in the sky, the wind blows the clouds away, and the changes are endless.

Shen Qingyu stood in the courtyard of the villa for a long time, letting the mountain breeze blow across her face and penetrate her skin, chilling her to the bone.

"Xiangyu, give orders to bury Manager Li properly."

When a person dies, everything in the world is gone. No matter how much money one covets, in the end it will be nothing more than a handful of earth. However, in this world, no matter how fake the wealth and splendor are, there will always be people fighting for them.

Shen Qingyu sighed, then walked out of the villa. Xiangyu and Xianghe followed closely behind her. After leaving the villa, there were a few more servants holding lanterns.
