Chapter 83 This matter is troublesome
The maidservant clutched her wrist, turned back to look at Lu Yangyang tremblingly, and hesitated to speak.
"how?"
Lu Yangyang frowned slightly when she saw that she seemed to have something to say. She hated these kinds of people who kept dawdling!
"This servant, this servant..." The maid originally looked down on Lu Yangyang, such a thin and small girl, especially after hearing about her background, she scoffed at her.
But in just a short while, when she looked at Lu Yangyang again, she was covered in cold sweat and filled with fear.
She was worried about failing to deliver and being blamed by the young master, yet she dared not disobey Lu Yangyang.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Miss, could you please allow me to go find a doctor first?"
Her wrist was so painful that she couldn't feel it anymore. Lu Yangyang had just twisted it so gently that she couldn't even feel her hand anymore!
She failed to complete the young master's task properly. If her hands are also ruined, what will she do in the future?
The maid was terrified, and her eyes filled with tears.
Lu Yangyang stepped forward, grasped her wrist, and gently twisted it back.
The maid shuddered, then tried to move, and found that the pain was slowly fading, and she seemed to be able to feel something again! She stared at Lu Yangyang in shock, wondering how she had done it.
"Now, take me back, and then follow behind me. Tell them that your young master entrusted you with taking care of me. Before I leave the Chengen Duke's Mansion, you must not leave my side for even a moment, do you understand?" Lu Yangyang said.
The maid was still in shock when she heard her words and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, I heard you clearly."
Having witnessed Lu Yangyang's abilities, she dared not say anything more this time. She hurriedly stepped forward to lead Lu Yangyang the way, and before long, they returned to the garden they had just been in.
Sheng Yunjiao was chatting with a few girlfriends when she saw Lu Yangyang returning from afar. She immediately left her girlfriends and ran over to hug Lu Yangyang's arm: "Why are you back so soon? What did your aunt want you to do there?"
"It's nothing, the young master's wife just asked a couple of questions about Young Master Su's injury."
Lu Yangyang didn't understand the intricacies of powerful families in the capital, but she wasn't stupid either. If Su Fengqu's private visit to her became public, it would be another troublesome matter.
Since Su Fengqu didn't see her anyway, he might as well pretend it never happened.
"Oh, I see," Sheng Yunjiao replied, and happily pulled her to the side, "Come on, let me introduce you to my good girlfriends, so we can hang out together sometime."
Lu Yangyang was dragged over by her, and the girls sat together and chatted for a while.
Before long, it was time for the luncheon to begin. The maids came to announce it, and Lu Yangyang got up and went to the courtyard where the banquet was to be held with Sheng Yunjiao.
The maidservant had been carefully following behind Lu Yangyang, trying her best to minimize her presence.
Sheng Yunjiao then realized that the maid was still there, and whispered to Lu Yangyang, "Why hasn't she left yet?"
"Maybe it's for convenience in taking care of her," Lu Yangyang replied casually.
Sheng Yunjiao said with a smile, "The young master's wife is really thoughtful."
The group entered the courtyard where the banquet was being held, but before they could even take their seats, they heard a shout: "Something terrible has happened! Someone has died!"
The guests were immediately startled, and the girls were terrified.
A group of maids escorted Lady Zhou, the wife of the heir apparent, as she hurriedly walked out.
Sheng Yunjiao hurriedly pulled Lu Yangyang to follow, "I don't know what happened, hurry, hurry, let's go and see!"
Lu Yangyang was dragged along by her.
Soon, the group arrived at a guest courtyard.
Meanwhile, the guest courtyard had already been surrounded, and startled, shrill sounds could be heard coming from inside.
"I told you I don't know!"
"What do you mean?! I just don't know! How would I know when she died?!"
"I came here with Second Brother Sheng, and then I don't know anything else!"
"I didn't even know when she arrived!"
"What does Feng Qingyao's death have to do with me? I wasn't even familiar with her. Did I kill her?"
"Are you done yet?"
The loud, boisterous voice sounded very familiar.
She is Princess Liduan.
Lu Yangyang turned to look at Sheng Yunjiao, who was even more stunned.
At this moment, a beautiful woman screamed "Ah!" and pushed past the crowd towards the door of the guest room. When she pushed the door open, she saw a woman lying on the ground, her clothes disheveled and her body in disarray, clearly lifeless.
"Yao'er! Yao'er! My child—" Madam Feng rushed towards the already dead Feng Qingyao like a madwoman.
At this moment, the group of people who had followed finally saw the scene inside the room clearly.
Feng Qingyao lay disheveled on the ground, her clothes in disarray. Su Fengqu was equally disheveled, sitting in a chair with the splint on his injured leg nowhere to be seen. His collar was slightly open, and his hair was a bit messy.
It looked as if they had just experienced a decadent activity.
At this moment, his expression was blank, his eyes were red, and his face was extremely pale.
On the other side were Princess Liduan, who was fully dressed but furious like a fighting rooster, and Sheng Junyi, whose face was all scrunched up.
Sheng Junyi had a refined and alluring appearance. Lu Yangyang had seen him several times, but this was the first time she had seen him look so bewildered.
Besides these two, there was also a young man, who was obviously the one who had just asked the question, which had made Princess Liduan so angry that she almost jumped up and down.
"Ah Qu, Ah Qu, what's wrong? What happened?" The Crown Prince's wife, Madam Zhou, was initially shocked by the scene. It took her a while to recover before she rushed in, pressed down on Su Fengqu's shoulder, and carefully checked him for any injuries.
"Lord Ying, what has happened?" The Third Prince came over with several people and asked the unfamiliar young man.
Lu Yangyang quickly glanced at Sheng Yunjiao.
Sheng Yunjiao was still a little confused, but she and Lu Yangyang were already in perfect sync. She immediately understood what Lu Yangyang meant and whispered, "Ying Xun, Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."
It turns out they were solving a case.
Sheng Yunjiao whispered in her ear again, "Feng Qingyao, the second granddaughter of Minister Feng of the Ministry of Revenue, this matter is troublesome."
Lu Yangyang understood. The granddaughter of a second-rank official had died tragically at the Cheng'en Duke's mansion during a banquet.
If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, even with the Empress Dowager's backing, the Duke of Cheng'en's mansion won't be able to resolve this peacefully.
Back when she lived in the countryside, she had helped with several cases because Magistrate Ling had asked someone to find her. Anyone with eyes could see that this case was a case of Su Fengqu harboring evil intentions, luring a young girl here and torturing her to death.
It was both absurd and tragic.
wrong.
Lu Yangyang suddenly remembered that Su Fengqu had planned to have a maid trick her into coming here.
Lu Yangyang hurriedly turned to look at the dumbfounded maid, who came to her senses and nodded awkwardly.
Yes, this is the room.
Su Fengqu originally asked her to trick Lu Yangyang into coming here.
