Chapter 238: Clearing Suspicion
Mu Yuanshuang didn't pay attention to Sang Yingqiu's words at all, she just wanted to find out the cause of Ji Wei's death, even Shen Yunyou didn't understand, Mu Yuanshuang was very shrewd, it stands to reason that she wouldn't do anything for a maid that might offend the Shen family and the Wang family at the same time.
"Mother, it's better to ......" The girl behind her with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes couldn't help but whisper when she saw that the atmosphere was really tense.
"Shut up! How can a maid speak on such an occasion?" Gao's mother stopped, and Cheng Qingliu was so frightened that she quickly stopped talking. Only then did Shen Yunyou notice this thin woman who rarely raised her head, probably because she didn't have a high status in the family, she didn't even sit down.
From Fang Cai's point of view, it seems that even Gao's mother's status is higher than her.
"Okay, if you don't want to 'careless about people's lives', the old body will no longer stop you. Just admonished Mrs. Cheng, don't make things too ugly, that won't be good for everyone. The old lady thought for a while and was relieved, not because Mu Yuanshuang was resolute, but because she knew that finding out the matter was not necessarily a bad thing for the Shen Mansion.
If this matter is not clear, the Shen family will inevitably be discussed. She originally wanted to make things smaller, but since Mu Yuanshuang didn't give her face at all, she didn't have to scruple anymore.
The old lady didn't believe that Shen Yunyou would do such a thing, even if this girl was really confused, she had a way to protect her granddaughter.
"Although this matter was not done by me, it involved me in the end," she was thinking about it, when Shen Yunyou suddenly spoke, turning her head to look at Mu Yuanshuang: "What Mrs. Cheng said is not wrong, I do have Ji Wei's silver ring in my yard." Since the silver ring can fall from her hand, it means that she struggled fiercely before she died. There are so many people in the Shen Mansion, if there is really such a big movement in my courtyard, it is impossible for no one to find out, do you say yes or no?"
What she said was not unreasonable, there were so many family members in the Shen Mansion alone, if there was really a fight in her yard, it would not be peaceful that night.
Mu Yuanshuang didn't answer, and motioned for her to continue, but many thoughts flashed in Sang Yingqiu's mind, wanting to stop Shen Yunyou quickly.
"Madame probably knows that your daughter is bent on dying in the Wang family, and even took poison. Shen Yunyou didn't save face at all, and told Cheng Qingyi about the ugly things he had done in front of the three families. Mu Yuanshuang's face changed slightly, but she didn't refute it, she just wanted to get justice for Ji Wei now, and Cheng Qingyi's matter would be put aside for the time being.
"As far as I know, this poisonous doctor can't solve it, Uncle Wang, am I right?" Shen Yunyou asked Master Wang, she didn't expect any clear words from Zhao's mouth, and directly skipped her.
"I also invited a famous doctor in the city that day, but Qingyi's symptoms did not ease at all, and in the end, Mrs. Chi rescued her. Master Wang replied. Although he didn't want to mention it, he didn't hide it when it came to this.
Shen Yunyou nodded with satisfaction, but immediately spoke, just took the tea in his hand, as if giving Mu Yuanshuang time to think.
After the hot tea was down, she finally looked at Mu Yuanshuang and asked, "If I really have harmful thoughts, wouldn't it be the best to stop the aunt of the Chi family from saving her at that time?" She took the initiative to take poison, even if she died, what does it have to do with me? Why do I have to go around in such a big circle to embarrass her girl?"
Although Cheng Qingyi's suit was not poison, except for herself and the Chi family, no one knew the truth at all, so Shen Yunyou simply turned the matter over.
Mu Yuanshuang fell into deep thought, obviously believing her words. Sang Yingqiu couldn't help rubbing her handkerchief with both hands, she knew that if she continued like this, Shen Yunyou would be cleared of suspicion.
"Of course, you can also think that I have something to do with that girl named Ji Wei, but I am the eldest lady of the Shen family, she is just a maid of a family, and her identity is so different. I have hundreds of ways to treat her, why do I have to take the risk?" Shen Yunyou cleared up the matter little by little between his words: "Even if I am stupid and choose the most clumsy method, why don't I throw her body far away and let this person disappear forever?"
"Killing her, letting her silver ring fall in my yard, and putting the body in the abandoned courtyard of the Shen Mansion, am I stupid enough to tell the world that I killed Ji Wei?"
She knew that she couldn't let things continue to develop, so she hurriedly spoke: "Maybe the murderer was discovered, and he casually threw the body in the Shen Mansion in a hurry. ”
This seemed to only raise a possibility, which actually alluded to Shen Yunyou's failure to dispose of the corpse.
"Mother's words make sense, but don't you think it's strange? It's all so coincidental, as if it was deliberately trying to be discovered. Do you think someone deliberately framed me, or did you use this incident to provoke conflicts between the two families? Shen Yunyou had already prepared, and after speaking, he said to himself: "But why are you eyeing Ji Wei? She is not an important person." ”
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Mu Yuanshuang's face finally changed slightly, and Shen Yunyou confirmed that she must have some other secrets.
"This ...... Could it be that you are thinking too much?" Before Mu Yuanshuang could speak, Sang Yingqiu took the first step and said: "I always feel that things are not so complicated, and relying on a little maid alone cannot threaten the relationship between the two families." ”
Old Madam Shen glanced at her with disdain, whether she had no knowledge, but when she turned to Shen Yunyou, her eyes turned into appreciation and relief, her granddaughter was finally no longer the little girl who only asked Sang Yingqiu about everything.
"I also think it's a little strange to choose a maid to start with......" Shen Yunyou's gaze was always on Mu Yuanshuang, she paused and said, "Or, is there anything hidden in this......
Mu Yuanshuang coughed suddenly, clutching the chair tightly with one hand, as if restraining something. Mother Gao hurriedly lowered her head and said softly: "Madam, if you are not feeling well, let's go back and rest first, don't hold on." ”
"Yes, Mrs. Cheng, nothing is more important than your body, you want to seek justice, and the Shen family is not willing to bear this black cauldron, how can it be possible to stop you from investigating this matter?" Old Madam Shen persuaded, she thought that Mu Yuanshuang was deliberately embarrassed, but now it seems that she is really just holding grievances for that maid.
Old Madam Shen didn't really regard human life as a mustard, but there were too many maids like Ji Wei, and she didn't have the heart or need to care too much. And Mu Yuanshuang is willing to speak for the maids under her, and she also appreciates it a little.
Mu Yuanshuang caressed her heart and eased up a little, and after she learned that Ji Wei had an accident, she immediately rushed over. She was so anxious and angry that she didn't think about it.
As soon as Shen Yunyou said it, she had figured out a lot of things. Shen Yunyou really wanted to harm Ji Wei without having to do this, and the corpse in the abandoned courtyard of the Shen family really aroused suspicion, as if someone was afraid that someone would not know that Ji Wei had died there. Maybe Shen Yunyou was really framed, but who is it good to do this?
