Chapter 136: You, You're Falsely Accused!
Shen Tianshu originally thought that with Zhang Muqiu's approval, he would be able to enter the study without being under her surveillance, and he would have the opportunity to rummage through the study to see if there were any clues.
But I never expected that after the relationship between the two people improved, Zhang Muqiu actually stuck to her even tighter, and asked her some questions from time to time.
It is a good thing for Zhang Muqiu to be motivated and studious, and Shen Tianshu naturally does not hesitate to teach, but this makes Zhang Muqiu more and more reluctant to leave, and even invites Shen Tianshu to spend the night in her house.
Seeing that he had wasted two days in Jiang's house, Shen Tianshu finally couldn't hold his breath and found Fan Yuru to discuss the matter.
Fan Yuru moved very fast, and early the next morning, Zhang Muqiu was taken to the countryside to see a doctor.
Shen Tianshu was finally able to enter his grandfather's study without anyone getting in the way.
A full day was enough time for her to turn her grandfather's study upside down.
However, it is easier said than done to think about it, rummaging through the study is different from other places, Shen Tianshu not only has to turn it over, but also keeps all the items still in place after turning it over, and he can't leave it alone after turning it over, so his waist is going to break at the end of the day, and he hasn't even found the slightest valuable clue, which is simply physically and mentally exhausting.
After the sun set, Shen Tianshu dragged his tired body back to his residence, and just after freshening up and preparing for dinner, someone outside the door reported: "Tong Niangzi, Miss Zhang asks to see you." β
"Tong Niangzi, it's me." Sure enough, Zhang Muqiu's voice sounded outside the door.
"It's coming!" Minghui waited for Shen Tianshu to put on the mask before opening the door.
In the past two days, Minghui has been by Shen Tianshu's side, naturally knowing that her relationship with Zhang Muqiu is getting better and better, and she also knows how tightly Zhang Muqiu sticks to Shen Tianshu, just because she has just come back from the clinic and wants to discuss the medical theory of the case with Shen Tianshu, so she didn't have any suspicions at all.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Muqiu outside the door had a murderous face, she pushed Ming Hui into the house, rushed straight to Shen Tianshu, and reached out to pick up the mask on her face.
Shen Tianshu was taken aback, and subconsciously leaned back, avoiding Zhang Muqiu's hand.
Although it was only the blink of an eye, it was enough for Minghui to rush up and block Shen Tianshu.
"Miss Zhang, what are you doing!" Minghui asked sharply and shouted, "Someone! β
It was less than a fingertip away, Zhang Muqiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
At this time, not only did Minghui block it, but even the guards at the door rushed into the house because of Minghui's loud questioning, and she didn't almost get close to Shen Tianshu anymore.
Zhang Muqiu glared at Shen Tianshu, only hating that she hadn't moved fast enough just now to see her true face.
"Who are you, and what is the purpose of coming to Jiang Mansion? What exactly are you looking for? β
Zhang Muqiu's three questions, one heavier than the other, all smashed into Shen Tianshu's heart.
Shen Tianshu opened his mouth, just wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Muqiu thought that she was stopped by herself, and continued to chase after her: "I went to the clinic today, it should have been arranged by you, right?" Just to spend it on me so that I can rummage through the study?
"Play this with me? It's funny! I've been in Jiang's house for three years, and I'm already familiar with everything in the study, do you think you can hide it from the world if you put it back in place? You're naΓ―ve, aren't you?
"Tell you, I already felt that something was wrong on the way, and when I returned to Jiang Zhai, I saw that everything in the study had been moved, so I immediately sent someone to report to the official."
Zhang Muqiu's eyes were full of coldness without the intimacy they had before.
At this time, she had completely regarded Shen Tianshu as a bad person, even if it had nothing to do with the Jiang family's extermination case, at least she had other plans.
"I still treat you as a mentor and friend, but I never thought that I was just a pawn used by you."
"Mu Qiu, it's not like this, I just didn't want to miss any medical cases, so I looked through the things in the study out of curiosity."
Under Zhang Muqiu's aggressive questioning, Shen Tianshu's explanation seemed a little pale and weak, and it sounded like an improvised excuse.
The matter in the back room quickly alarmed Fan Yuru, who lived in the front yard, and he hurriedly brought someone over to check.
"What's wrong, is Lady Tong okay?"
Minghui explained what had just happened with sharp teeth.
Fan Yuru turned to look at Zhang Muqiu and said coldly: "Miss Zhang, please make it clear that the Jiang Mansion is now managed by the imperial court, not you." Manager Wang just saw that you had learned medical skills from the county lord of Gaoyang, and volunteered to spend time in the Jiang Mansion to help clean up, so he trusted you and handed over the study to you, but this does not mean that you are qualified to dictate the affairs of the Jiang Mansion. β
Zhang Muqiu's face turned pale by Fan Yuru's heart-piercing words, her lips, which were still a little pink, also faded to pale pink, and her chest rose and fell rapidly, but she still stood upright and persisted.
Shen Tianshu knew that Zhang Muqiu's temperament had always been a strong cow tendon, and she was dead-eyed, she combed herself to stay in Lai'an County, just made up her mind to guard the Jiang Mansion for the rest of her life, and it was inevitable that she would be a little unbearable to see her being angry like this.
But Fan Yu is defending her, and Zhang Muqiu is indeed overstepping the rules in this matter, so all she can do is to lower her eyes, and she can't see it.
Fan Yuru saw that Zhang Muqiu was still resisting, and his face was unconvinced, and he continued: "We came to Jiang Mansion to find the copy of the medical case this time, and we reported to Ying Tianfu in advance and got permission, including the study of Jiang Wei and Jiang Tong. So as long as Tong Niangzi didn't deliberately damage the items of the Jiang Mansion and didn't steal the property of the Jiang Mansion, then no matter what she did within the scope allowed by the imperial court, it had nothing to do with you, do you understand? β
Zhang Muqiu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but his body still shook uncontrollably.
She tried hard to tense up, and said with a stiff neck: "Even if I am not qualified to manage the Jiang Mansion, I am not qualified to manage you, but I am always qualified to report to the official, right?" Let me tell you, although it has been three years, the government has been collecting clues about the Jiang family's murder case.
"I now suspect that the purpose of your group is not pure, you entered the Jiang Mansion to plot misdeeds, rummaging everywhere, and the appearance is suspicious, maybe it is related to the tragedy of the Jiang family's destruction of the door back then, I am afraid that there was some evidence left at the beginning, and now I have come to sell the stolen goods and disappear. Do you think the government will send someone to investigate this matter? β
"Y-You're making false accusations!" Fan Yuru didn't expect Zhang Muqiu to come to such a hand.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the famous Fan Dacai and Fan Gongzi would also have a day when they were asked by the girl's family!" A hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the door, "Zi'an, it seems that I sent you back today, it was really not in vain!" β
