Chapter 142 The Safest Victim
"Madam, I don't think so. It's all Fang Rou's fault. Fang Rou is talking nonsense. I hope Madam won't take it to heart!"
Liu Lu was anxious. Shen Ruoyan was the last person they wanted to mess with. Her elder sister was still pregnant, and the Marquis was thousands of miles away. There were too many variables before the child was born.
If they displease the mistress at this time, they will definitely not have a good time waiting for them!
Blame her!
It would be better if she could not be so impulsive!
"Okay, the innocent are innocent. If others say something, just keep it to yourself. I don't have to do anything in this mansion every day." Shen Ruoyan smiled faintly, as if he didn't take the words just now to heart at all.
"However, Madam Fang is right about one thing. If Madam Hong's fall was caused by someone, then everyone in the mansion is a suspect. We should investigate it thoroughly."
Shen Ruoyan's words finally made Madam Lu react, "You are right, I will have someone investigate this matter."
The old lady asked someone to investigate?
Is this what you mean by not letting the mistress interfere?
For a moment, everyone had different thoughts in their minds, and even Liu Lu's face showed a hint of surprise.
Fang Rou, on the other hand, still had a faint smile on her face, but that smile seemed so smug no matter how you looked at it, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Zhuhong was ordered to rest in the house. Before the child was born, Mrs. Lu was still very concerned about her. As long as there was a possibility that this child was the heir of the Marquis's mansion, she would not tolerate anyone hurting him!
"Fang Rou, I know you did this!"
After leaving the old lady, Liu Lu stopped Fang Rou and said, "Don't think that you can do it without anyone noticing. You still want to drag the mistress into this. But God is always watching. Sooner or later, I will find evidence and make you pay!"
"Really?" Fang Rou rubbed her forehead, speechless, "Then go find it."
She looked at Liu Lu as if she was a fool. Wasn't this telling her that she had no evidence?
Zhuhong was supported by the servants and walked slowly. When she came over, her sister was almost fuming with anger because of Fang Rou.
"Just wait, I will definitely not let you continue to get away with it!" Liu Lu was shocked and determined that Fang Rou must have done it this time! That's why she acted so arrogant just now!
If she hadn't done it, would she be so confident?
Those who are truly ignorant will not take the initiative to jump out, no matter whether they are mocking or shouting.
Fang Rou felt that she didn't understand, but in fact, she saw it more clearly than anyone else!
"Sister, please don't be rude!" Zhuhong hurried over and saw her walking quickly. Liulu hurried over to support her. "Sister, the doctor told you to be careful. Why are you walking so fast?"
Zhu Hong patted her hands to comfort her, "It's okay. But you, why don't you apologize to Aunt Fang? What are you doing here?"
She put a little more force on Liu Lu's hand, and Liu Lu, who had been stubborn just now, suddenly seemed to lose her temper and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, Aunt Fang, I was reckless, I hope Aunt Fang will forgive me."
Fang Rou didn't expect that the person who was eager to fight with her just now would be subdued by such a light sentence.
She looked at Zhuhong again. This woman was smarter than she had imagined.
But it's also interesting, at least there are no idiots in this mansion.
It will probably be even more lively when Lu Jing comes back!
"Don't be like this. We are all aunts. I can't accept your courtesy!" There was no one else here, so Fang Rou didn't bother to pretend anymore. "I just hope that everyone can keep a distance from me in the future, so that no one will think of throwing dirty water on me!"
She is not the type to settle things peacefully. Since you have offended her, don't even think about smoothing things over!
Fang Rou rolled her eyes and simply left, with no intention of staying to deal with the situation any longer.
Liu Lu was so angry that she jumped up and down behind him, but Zhu Hong held her tightly, "Sister, calm down."
"Sister, she must have done this. Look how arrogant she is!" After Liu Lu went back, she still couldn't understand why Fang Rou could be so rampant?
The Marquis is no longer in the mansion. As a concubine who lives on the Marquis' favor, shouldn't she be tactful and humble, waiting obediently for the Marquis to come back and support her?
The old lady and the mistress are both here today, how dare she be so unscrupulous?
What if the Marquis comes back in the future? !
“Liulu, no matter if it was her or not, you were too impulsive today.” Zhuhong sat there quietly, but there was no tenderness in her eyes, only indifference.
Seeing her sister like this, Liu Lu suddenly became obedient.
"I was also very angry at the time..." She looked up and saw that Zhu Hong's face was still cold, without any sign of relaxation, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Sister, calm down. I won't do it again next time."
Zhu Hong sighed, "I'm afraid you only remember the food and not the beating, and you'll forget it next time you're provoked by someone."
Her sister was not stupid, but she was impatient and easily impulsive. If someone with ulterior motives got a hold of her, they could easily take advantage of this and make her make mistakes.
Isn't that the case today?
"No matter whether Fang Rou did it or not, the quarrel you had with her today made others look down on you. Even if you are right, in the end, both of you will suffer and there will be no good result." This is why Zhu Hong wanted to stop Liu Lu at that time.
Liu Lu also realized her mistake and immediately felt guilty, "Sister, I've done it now. I promise, I won't do it again next time!"
After all, she is her only sister, and Zhuhong doesn't want to blame her too much.
Ultimately, she was just trying to stand up for herself.
"It hasn't rained in the past few days, but there is mud outside the yard. I have asked someone to take a look. It is silt dug from the bottom of the lake. It was placed there deliberately to wait for me to come over." Long before going to the old lady, Zhuhong already knew that this was man-made.
Liu Lu's eyes widened, "Sister, why didn't you tell me then?"
Isn't this the evidence Fang Rou wants? !
If my sister had said it at that time, I would have thrown it directly in her face!
"The backyard has been renovated recently. They said the mud at the bottom of the lake could plug the cracks, so the manager ordered people to dig out a lot of it." Zhu Hong tightened her hands on the table. "The order to renovate was given by Madam herself."
"what?!"
Liu Lu was shocked, "Sister, what do you mean?"
Zhu Hong shook her head, "It's still undecided."
Whether this silt was deliberately deposited there or was it accidentally dropped by the servants while being carried, there is no evidence and nothing we can say is right.
This is also the reason why she has not spoken yet today.
If you draw the bow rashly, the arrow may not only fail to hit the target, but may also bounce back at you, which is not worth the loss.
She told Liu Lu, "Don't mention this matter again. Let the old lady investigate. No matter who she finds out, it has nothing to do with me."
After all, she is the only victim in this incident!
