Chapter 499: Dark Tide
499, [Dark Tide]
Through Cui'er's matter, Ruyi finally understood how much influence the spiritual power hidden in their bodies had on them, she had actually guessed that Cui'er might choose to commit suicide in order to protect Shen Mingxuan, but she didn't expect Cui'er to pull a cushion and point the finger at her before she died, which can be described as painstaking.
first used chastity and innocence as a bargaining chip, and finally died to correct her identity, even if Shen Xinnan didn't believe it all, she also believed it.
Cui'er's matter was menacing and stormy at the beginning, but when it ended, it sank into the sea like a stone and did not stir up the slightest wave.
Everything didn't go according to Ruyi's heart, digging out the secret behind Rudafa's death and framing himself as a murderer of evil ghosts.
But it all came to an abrupt end at the moment when Cui'er bit her tongue and committed suicide.
Her wishful thinking came to naught.
Not only failed to break Shen Mingxuan's mask, but made Shen Xinnan suspicious of his identity.
In fact, the Shen Mansion, which seems to be as calm as water, is already a dark tide surging, with different hearts.
Shen Xinnan secretly asked the shopkeeper Chen to check the reason for framing Ruyi is evil ghost and Xiaozhuang's death, but accidentally learned that during the time when Ru Da was ill, he was arranged by Shen Mingxuan in Cilan Water Pavilion, and the person who took care of Ru Da Fa was Xiao Zhuang, after Xiao Zhuang fell ill, Da Chun went to help Xiao Zhuang take care of Ru Da Fa and accidentally found that Ru Da Fa was dead.
"Ma'am, what exactly is it?" Steward Chen truthfully reported the situation he had investigated to Shen Xinnan.
"Dafa's death and Xiao Zhuang's illness were almost the same time, and after Xiao Zhuang fell ill, he was killed by Cui'er immediately after, which is too much of a coincidence." A terrible thought flashed through Shen Xinnan's mind, his face became as white as paper, he paused for a while, and then asked, "After Ru Dafa lived in Cilan Water Pavilion, no one has ever gone to see him again?" ”
"The eldest lady has instructed that the old man is weak and needs to recuperate, and no one will be allowed to enter except for Xiaozhuang every day." Steward Chen said.
"Evil beast...... Shen Xinnan's frightened eyes flashed with grief, his loose eyelids closed, tears rolled down the back of his hand holding the quilt, and his whole body trembled violently because of anger and grief.
"Madame...... Are you okay? Steward Chen saw that Shen Xinnan was not in the right mood and said worriedly.
"I'm fine, the rumors of evil ghosts that appeared in the sky over Yilan Garden?" Shen Xinnan took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Shopkeeper Chen with complicated eyes.
"On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you asked Rong Po to invite Second Miss and Ye Mingming to dine, but in fact, Rong Po seemed to be carrying food and wine when she went to Yilan Garden."
"Are you suspicious of Rong Po?" Shen Xinnan's eyes dimmed, Rong Po was an old man who had been serving her for decades, and she didn't believe that Rong Po was a person with different intentions.
"The villain can't guarantee it, but the actions of the night are indeed a little abnormal." Steward Chen is a very trustworthy old man brought by Shen Xinnan from his mother's family in the past, and he is from a wealthy family, and he has seen a lot of battles between wealthy families, so he naturally has some insights and analysis.
"Hmm......" Shen Xinnan replied in a low voice, her eyes looking ahead, as if she was thinking about something.
"When the evil ghost appeared that night, the second miss and Ye Mingming were not in Yilan Garden, they came to Minghuang Tower in the early hours of the morning, that is, at that time, someone took the opportunity to frame him, the villain has already investigated, Cui'er had been to Yilan Garden that night, and the time gap between the evil ghost and the evil ghost is not big." Steward Chen said cautiously.
In fact, Shen Xinnan had already guessed from Shen Mingxuan's dismissal of the people in the mansion that this matter was inseparable from her, but she didn't want to believe it, let alone break the difficult harmony of the Shen Mansion, and she always pretended to turn a blind eye, but she didn't expect that Shen Mingxuan would be so framed by Ruyi in secret, and even let her become the target of public criticism.
"I know, send a few smarter maids to Mingxuanyuan to serve." Shen Xinnan seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and lay down on her side.
When Steward Chen was about to retreat, Shen Xinnan's voice came again: "Old Chen, do you think Ruyi is still Ruyi?" ”
"Madame...... Don't listen to Cui'er's nonsense, how can the second miss not be the second miss? Steward Chen stopped and comforted, "Don't think about it." ”
……
There seemed to be a tense atmosphere in the air.
Shen Mingxuan sat on the chair in a panic, looking at Jin Tianen's back standing with his hands in his hands, biting his lip with his teeth, there were too many depressions and grievances in his heart and he wanted to talk to someone, but he didn't know how to say it.
"What the hell are you hiding from me?"
Half a ring, Jin Tianen took the lead in opening his mouth, he only went out for a few days, and there was such a big thing in the Shen Mansion, he didn't have to think about it to know that Shen Mingxuan did it, he always thought that under his advice, Shen Mingxuan would restrain himself, but he didn't expect that she secretly framed Ruyi, and actually extended her poisonous hand to Ruyi Restaurant and murder.
"Grace, why are you talking to me like that?" Shen Mingxuan felt that when he was the most helpless and frustrated, he should have been comforted by his husband, but in fact it was Jin Tianen's questioning, and he felt a little sad and cried aggrievedly.
"You framed Ruyi, I said that I would protect you, but I didn't condone you to harm others." Jin Tianen turned around and looked at Shen Mingxuan angrily, his beautiful and soft face was still his beloved wife, but the extra cunning and yin in his bright and tender eyes made him feel strange.
"I didn't hurt anyone, Xiaozhuang was killed by Cui'er and I have nothing to do with it, Cui'er herself admits it, and Yu'er, I have no grievances with the deceased, let alone know, I have no reason to hurt people, Tian'en, don't be bewitched by Ruyi's words, she is not a human at all, she is a ghost, she took Ruyi's identity, and came to rob Ruyi Restaurant, and I am her biggest enemy, so she tries her best to get rid of me......" Shen Xinnan cried pear blossoms with rain, and pulled Jin Tianen's sleeves with both hands and begged bitterly, Now her only reliance is Jin Tianen, if even he doubts her, then she will have no place in the Shen Mansion at all.
"Cui'er and Yu'er are your personal maids, if you didn't instruct them to do this, how could they kill people." Jin Tianen was heartbroken, she was at a loss for Shen Mingxuan, she felt sorry for her at the slightest grievance, but she was unwilling to watch her do something hurtful.
"I don't have ......"
"Don't quibble, I heard it when you and Cui'er talked about Xiaozhuang in the room that night, I just can't figure out what Xiaozhuang did wrong, why did you attack a subordinate, and you went to such great lengths, what do you want to hide?" Jin Tianen sharply interrupted Shen Mingxuan's quibble.
