Chapter 189 Why does she get all this?
Thinking of this, he didn't want to recall the heartbreaking past, and turned to Sheng Junwei and said, "Now that we have separated, she will no longer pose a threat to you, nor will she be hostile to you like before. You are the young lady of the Xiangfu, and it is natural for you to attend the party."
Regarding this abrupt change, Sheng Junwei felt like she was hearing a fairy tale.
How could two people who loved each other terribly in their previous life break up just like that?
She was full of doubts and couldn't believe the reality of all this.
"Junwei, come with me."
Pei Yu's voice was full of sincerity and longing, and his eyes flashed with an indescribable pleading, as if at this moment, he needed her company and understanding so much.
Sheng Junwei felt the eagerness and sincerity in his words, and a complex emotion arose deep in her heart.
On second thought, Pei Yu's friends might think that it was because of her intervention that his envied relationship with Yue'er came to an end.
If she was unwilling to show even this little superficial consideration at this critical juncture, she would appear to be too heartless and lacking in gratitude.
Although she has never been afraid of rumors, but thinking of Yao who has always cared for her like a mother and her unwavering support and love, she cannot let the Yao family be overshadowed by her indifference.
"Ok."
She uttered these two words softly, with a hint of helplessness and compromise in her voice.
However, somewhere in her heart, a sense of curiosity and anticipation quietly arose. After all, she was not opposed to witnessing the upcoming excitement and seeing the undercurrents hidden beneath the calm surface.
Time was running out and she could not slowly digest the mystery of the golden light of merit, so Sheng Junwei turned to studying the old archives of Caonan Village.
She was not completely indifferent to the previous female ghost incident, but Caonan Village was far away from the capital, hundreds of miles away, and it was difficult for her to get away to visit the scene in person and conduct a detailed investigation.
Furthermore, thirty years have passed, and the people involved in the incident may no longer be alive. Going to the site in person is far less direct and efficient than asking the Ministry of Household Registration for the population registration records of the entire village.
Caonan Village is a village composed of several large families. More than two-thirds of the villagers belong to the same clan, and the rest are mostly displaced people who moved from other places.
What is puzzling is that among those who unfortunately drowned, the vast majority were members of the Cao family with the same clan and surname, and only one was an outsider.
This abnormal distribution undoubtedly adds a bit of mystery and weirdness to the case.
On the surface, Sheng Junwei seemed to have not taken any action on the case in the past two days, but in fact, she was using the birth dates of the three deceased people every day to silently deduce their life trajectories and experiences.
Among these eight deceased persons, she has successfully restored the life experiences of six people in order to leave a precious opportunity to prepare for solving other difficult cases that may arise in the future.
Although she only analyzed the life stories of six people, she had already discovered a series of suspicious and unusual things.
After pondering for a while, she slowly pulled out the seventh case file, tapped it with her fingertips, and calculated it carefully according to the time of birth.
Soon, she slowly closed the file, took a deep breath, and her eyes flashed with determination.
Everything was just as she expected, and the plan in her mind had begun to take shape.
But considering the seriousness of the matter, she decided to wait until tomorrow to deduce the life of the last deceased before making a final judgment.
Seeing that the young lady was concentrating on the case file, Rou'er, who was standing by, quietly left the room, planning to go to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of warm white fungus and lotus seed soup for the young lady.
The young lady has been busy all day and the banquet is about to begin. I'm afraid she won't have time to eat properly.
She remembered every word her brother-in-law had said just now.
The Miss Han who always comes uninvited is bound to make the young lady feel even more depressed and unable to eat.
Prepare some food for the young lady in advance so that she won’t starve while being busy.
The stove in the small kitchen is sleeping quietly at this moment. If we wait to cook it again, we will probably have to wait until late at night when the moon is bright.
In contrast, the large kitchen always had a variety of hot soups on hand to satisfy the occasional cravings of the hosts, even a bowl of thirst-quenching soup was nowhere to be found.
As she took a step, Rou'er's eyes inadvertently swept across a corner of the rockery, and vaguely caught a glimpse of the edge of a piece of clothing secretly showing.
"Who is hiding behind the rockery? Come out now, don't hide anymore!"
she called softly.
After a while, a figure slowly came out, with displeasure written all over his face: "Rou'er, what's wrong with you? I'm just looking for something behind the rockery, why are you shouting?"
Rou'er took a closer look and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister Zi Yan? Did you... did you lose something?"
Sheng Ziyan raised her chin slightly, with a hint of arrogance in her tone: "What else? If I didn't lose something, why would I run behind the rockery? Am I trying to scare people like a ghost?"
Rou'er muttered to herself, vaguely feeling that something was a little unusual, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she racked her brains, so she rubbed her head nervously: "Oh, so that's how it is, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
At this moment, Sheng Ziyan's sharp eyes caught a new jade pendant on Rouer's waist.
The jade pendant was crystal clear and the carving was exquisite. The word "Rou" was engraved on it. Anyone who saw it would know that this was a treasure specially customized for Rou'er.
But what she remembered clearly was that just a few days ago, Rouer was not wearing this thing!
Her eyes glared, and her tone suddenly became serious: "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
Rou'er looked down at the jade pendant, two red clouds on her cheeks, and her shy smile revealed endless sweetness: "This jade pendant was given to me by the young lady. I heard that she carved it herself."
This morning, the young lady tied the jade pendant on her before going out, saying that it can not only strengthen the body, but also ward off evil and ensure safety.
Rou'er is well aware of the young lady's abilities and means. Since the young lady said so, this jade pendant must have extraordinary effects.
Therefore, she accepted this precious gift with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Sheng Ziyan's eyes burned with anger and jealousy: "When did she become so generous?"
First it was gorgeous dresses and precious cosmetics, and now it is a priceless jade pendant!
How could a little girl like Rouer, who only does rough work, get all this?
But in a flash, Sheng Ziyan remembered that after tonight, she would become a true concubine, and might even be promoted to a concubine.
By then, what treasures will not be within easy reach?
How could a small jade pendant be worth mentioning to her?
She snorted disdainfully, her heart full of longing for the future and arrogance.
In the autumn chrysanthemum garden, chrysanthemums bloom like flames, with golden yellow and purple red interweaving and competing with each other, set against the clear blue sky unique to autumn, which is beautiful beyond words.
