The second wife is charming to the bone, and Mr. Shen is very honest

Chapter 187 Murder Case

Nanny Zhang returned to the meditation room in a panic, but as soon as she returned, Madam Shen started to curse at her angrily.

"Why did you come back so late? Did you run into the young lady? What did she say to you?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhang was so frightened that she fell to her knees.

"Madam, please understand. I did not see the young lady."

Mrs. Shen: "Then why did you take so long?"

Aunt Zhang: "Today, many people came to the housekeeper to do things for them. By the time it was my turn, it was already this time."

Madam Shen's face darkened instantly when she heard this: "In the past, the housekeeper would always come to greet me the first time he saw me, but now... he has started to give us a perfunctory response."

"One day, I will let them see that I am still the same Madam Shen, and no one can be above me."

When Nanny Zhang heard these words, she found them ridiculous. She was paralyzed now, and she had done so many bad things. How could the Shen family forgive her so easily?

When Nanny Zhang left the room, she gave Nanny Sun a look. Seeing this, Nanny Sun found an excuse to leave after a while.

Nanny Sun: "What's wrong?"

Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Madame Li is dead."

When Nanny Sun heard this, her eyes widened in shock: "What's going on?"

Aunt Zhang: "What else could it be? Didn't Madam give instructions to Guard Li before coming to the meditation room?"

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun couldn't help but collapse onto the ground.

"Then will we also die in the future?"

Aunt Zhang said with a pale face, "It's hard to say for sure."

Nanny Sun: "Let's swear to the Madam and tell her that we will never let anyone know about this."

Aunt Zhang said in a trembling voice, "Do you think she will believe us?"

Nanny Sun: "What should we do? Are we really just going to wait to be killed?"

Nanny Zhang glanced at her, then hesitated and said, "We can go find Madam Shen, she will definitely be able to help us."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Sun subconsciously looked at Nanny Zhang.

"But we have served the Madam for so many years. If she knew that we had gone to the Young Madam, she would be furious."

"If she gets really angry, we'll be in real trouble."

Aunt Zhang glared at her and said, "What do you know? She is the root of our trouble. As long as we leave her, the young lady will naturally protect us."

Nanny Sun: "Young Madam has only been in the Shen Mansion for a few years. Our Madam has deep roots in the Shen Mansion. As long as she wants, we may die at any time. Only by being loyal to her can we have a chance to survive."

No matter how deep Madam Shen's foundation was, she lost her extraordinary abilities after being locked up in this meditation room.

Nanny Zhang knew that Nanny Sun had obviously been brainwashed by the Madam, and she knew that no matter what she said, she would never betray the Madam.

"Forget it, I'll do whatever you say!"

Nanny Zhang thought that since they were no longer on the same path, she couldn't tell her anything.

At night, when Nanny Zhang was sleeping, the lady suddenly got up and asked her to help her urinate.

This was always the most difficult time for the slaves because Mrs. Shen was heavy and needed to exert a lot of strength.

The key point is that during this period, Mrs. Shen would continue to abuse people in various ways.

However, today, when Nanny Zhang was serving Madam Shen, Madam Shen was surprisingly quiet.

Just as she supported her and was about to let her lie down, something sharp suddenly hit her abdomen.

Before she could react, the dagger pierced directly into her stomach.

Nanny Zhang stared at Madam Shen with wide eyes. She didn't expect that she would fall into her trap before she could escape.

"you……"

Madam Shen gritted her teeth and twisted the dagger into Nanny Zhang's stomach.

Nanny Zhang's face turned red in an instant, and then she fell straight down.

Aunt Zhang is dead, but her eyes are still wide open.

"Come out!" Mrs. Shen wiped her dagger while breathing hard.

When Nanny Sun heard the voice, she came out trembling all over.

"Bury her in the yard. Remember, tomorrow morning, tell others that Aunt Zhang has escaped."

"When asked anything, I always say I don't know."

Nanny Sun said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Madam."

Madam Shen: "You did a good job this time. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by this slave."

Nanny Sun said with a pale face, "Madam, I swear to follow you till death, and I will never have second thoughts."

Madam Shen: "You've also seen how easy it is for me to get rid of someone if I want to."

"Originally, I wanted to let Guard Li do it, but I just can't trust that idiot anymore. I don't trust anyone else now. I only trust myself and you."

"But fortunately, you have proved your loyalty with your actions. Just wait and see. One day, my son will take me away, and I will always be the eldest lady of the Shen family."

"By then, you will be the only matron in my courtyard, and everyone will have to follow your lead."

When Nanny Sun heard Madam Shen's words, her expression suddenly became excited: "Thank you Madam for your cultivation. I will be loyal to you all my life and help you eliminate dissidents."

Mrs. Shen: "Very good, bury this dirty thing, and remember to do it secretly. If someone finds it, we will be in big trouble."

"It's Madam!"

After hearing Nanny Sun's complaint, Mother Shen began to tremble uncontrollably.

She was afraid that the government would find out that it was Guard Li who did it. She was also afraid that Nanny Jia would come back and settle the score with her. She was even more afraid that Nanny Zhang would really go to Jiang Sujin and tell her secret to others.

So after much thought, she decided to deal with Nanny Zhang.

Guard Li is no longer useful, and now that she has lost her power, he probably won't listen to her.

So she decided to take action herself and kill Nanny Zhang to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

As for this Nanny Sun, she still has some use for her now, but when she finds someone to replace her, she will kill her as well. Only dead people are the safest.

Nanny Sun pulled the corpse out of the house trembling with fear. This was the first time in her life that she had buried a dead body. The key point was that the corpse had its eyes wide open, which looked extremely scary.

Nanny Sun buried the body into the dug pit, trembling all over, and then covered the body with soil shovel by shovel.

"Zhang Cui, I didn't kill you. If you want to find someone, go find the one who killed you, ah~"

That night, when Nanny Sun finished cleaning up everything, it was almost dawn.

She lay down for a while and was then woken up by Mrs. Shen.

Nanny Sun didn't dare to delay and hurried to the housekeeper to complain.

When the housekeeper heard that Nanny had also escaped, he hurried to tell Madam Shen and the Young Madam.

When Jiang Sujin heard the news, she was obviously a little surprised, because she was told yesterday that Nanny Li had died and ran away at night.

She knew she would die if she ran away, so why did she still run away? This is illogical!

No matter how dumb a person is, it is impossible for him to run away in this situation.

What's more, she serves Madam Shen every day. If she leaves for half an hour, Madam Shen will send people to hunt her down.

After thinking about this, Jiang Sujin got up and left Wutong Courtyard.

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the Zen room in the backyard and take a look."

Jiang Sujin took Caiyue directly to the Zen room in the backyard. After she walked into the yard, her eyes began to look around.

Everything in the yard looked normal, but something was not normal.

Because the yard was very tidy, much neater and cleaner than when she came a few days ago.

Logically speaking, since Nanny Zhang is about to leave, it is impossible for her to do so much work before she leaves.

Besides, the two of them were always too busy, so they didn't do any unimportant work.

However, at this critical juncture, the yard has become so tidy.

Her eyes were fixed under the big water tank. The soil under the big water tank seemed to be different and a little moist.

It's normal for the soil around the water tank to be wet, so there's nothing to say.

Jiang Sujin withdrew her gaze and entered the Zen room.

At this time, Shen's mother was sitting on the couch, stroking the Buddhist beads in her hands, her eyes slightly closed, and she was still chanting Buddhist scriptures.

She looked around the room and saw that the house was much cleaner today than usual.

The floor in particular was much cleaner than usual, as if it had just been wiped.

Mother Shen raised her eyelids and saw Jiang Sujin's eyes staring at the ground, which made her heart skip a beat subconsciously.

"What are you staring at my floor tiles for, Madam?"

Jiang Sujin: "I'm just wondering, there's one less servant in Madam Shen's yard, and now there's only this one servant left, how can she still clean the room so cleanly?"

Mrs. Shen: "Maybe it's because I asked them to clean the room and yard yesterday, and they probably felt they couldn't stand it, so they ran away."

"Come to think of it, who would be willing to serve a paralyzed person like me?"

Jiang Sujin knew that this reason was not sufficient. Nanny Zhang was too old to be upset at this time.

"Two of the four maids around Madam Shen ran away and one died. I am really curious about what the reason is that makes everyone around Madam Shen avoid the Shen Mansion."

"Logically speaking, the wages of the Shen family are among the best in the capital. What on earth is the reason that makes them give up their jobs and risk their lives to run away?"

Mother Shen: "I have entered the Zen room and become an abandoned child. I can no longer protect them. They can no longer live a life of luxury like before. Naturally, they can't stand any hardship."

Jiang Sujin: "That makes sense." As she spoke, she looked down at the ground again.

When Shen's mother saw her gaze, her expression instantly turned ugly.

"Now that you've finished watching the fun, can you go home now?"

Jiang Sujin raised her eyelids and looked at her: "It seems that I am here, and you are a little nervous?"

When Shen's mother heard this, her ears turned red: "Why should I be nervous? I didn't do anything."

Jiang Sujin: "That's true. You didn't do anything, so why are you so nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Shen's mother immediately straightened her back and took a deep breath.

"If you like, stay, then stay. I need to rest anyway."
