Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Cui'er stood there alone, looking at the receding carriage, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking extremely helpless.

In the carriage, Ye Yunzi frowned and thought. Although she had been cold just now, Cui'er's words lingered in her mind.

Was Ye Qianyao murdered? Was it Shen Yuming who did it?

She knew that Shen Yuming had a cold personality and would ruthlessly eliminate anyone who stood in his way. She was still frightened by her past life experience.

She held the handkerchief tightly, her mind full of thoughts.

Mother Su looked at her daughter worriedly and gently held her hand: "What happened? What did that little girl say to make you so uneasy?"

Ye Yunzi pulled herself together, shook her head and said, "It's no big deal."

Su was worried, knowing her daughter's character, she knew she must be worried. "We have nothing to do with the Ye family anymore, no matter what the maid said, don't take it to heart."

"I'll remember it, mother." Ye Yunzi nodded in response.

Su patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her.

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Cui'er seemed to be absent-minded. She walked unsteadily and almost bumped into passers-by several times.

She thought about what the eldest lady said and felt that she should confess everything to the master.

But she was afraid of being misunderstood and worried that people would think she was the culprit who killed her lady.

Cui'er's body was shaking slightly and she could hardly support herself.

The old nanny in the distance saw Cui'er's distraught look and couldn't help but scold: "What is this girl doing? What if she disturbs the guests?"

The old nanny walked over quickly and prepared to scold her, but Cui'er was in a trance and the scene in front of her became blurry. Suddenly, she saw a figure walking towards her, and she thought it was the lady.

"Cui'er!" The old nanny's angry voice interrupted her hallucination.

Cui'er shuddered and saw the lady's cold and distorted face approaching her.

"Cui'er." The lady's voice seemed to come from the abyss, finally breaking her tense nerves.

Cui Er screamed in horror: "Ah!"

"Madam, I was wrong. It's all my fault. I'm going to find the master right now!" She couldn't stand the pressure any longer and was determined to reveal the truth to the master and find the real murderer who killed Madam.

The old nanny was frightened by the sudden cry and stood still, thinking to herself: Madam is crazy, could this girl also be infected? It is said that madness is contagious, Cui Er serves Madam every day, and I am afraid she has also been infected.

Cui Er rushed into the mourning hall and fell to her knees with a plop: "Madam, I was wrong!"

Shen Yuming stood there, frowning slightly. Seeing Cui'er turn around and kneel towards him, he said, "Master, I have something to report."

Cui Er burst into tears: "Master, the lady was murdered!"

Shen Yuming's face turned pale instantly, and his pupils shrank. Ye Qianyao's death was the result of a joint plan between him and the Eighth Princess, and he thought it was foolproof, but Cui'er knew about it.

"You..." Shen Yuming's heart beat faster and he almost suffocated.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Shut up!" But he didn't dare to do anything else, after all, there were other people around.

"Master." There was fear in Cui'er's voice.

"Come with me." Shen Yuming motioned Cui'er to go with him to a quiet place to talk in detail. Cui'er agreed with hope, as long as the master would listen to her.

In the study, Shen Yuming had a gloomy face, waiting for Cui'er to speak. "Tell me, what do you know?"

"I saw two women coming out of Madam's room with my own eyes, and then I found out that Madam had already..."

Cui Er's body was shaking violently. "Madam said something before she died. She said 'I will never let you go even if I die'. Then the two men came out."

Cui Er did not dare to look up, and added tremblingly: "Master, every word I say is true. If I lie, I will be punished by God!"

Shen Yuming's eyes became even colder, and a flash of murderous intent flashed through his mind. He knew that Cui'er had indeed seen something she shouldn't have seen.

"Cui'er, did anyone else see it?" Shen Yuming asked.

Cui Er quickly shook her head: "I was alone, sir. I happened to see him when I was delivering medicine to Madam. There was no one else around."

She was worried that the master would mistake her for the murderer, so she quickly added, "Master! I really didn't harm the lady. I saw two women walking out of the lady's room."

Shen Yuming breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, it seemed that Cui'er was the only one who witnessed the scene.

"So did you recognize who those two women were?"

"No, sir; they had their backs to me, and I could not see them clearly."

Cui'er regretted deeply that she did not look carefully at the faces of the two people at that time. She did not expect that they were the murderers of her lady.

Shen Yuming concluded: "So you were the only one who saw someone leave the lady's room, and you didn't see their faces clearly, right?"

"Yes, sir."

Cui Er began to kowtow on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Please, sir, please investigate and find out who really murdered Madam. She died so unjustly!"

Shen Yuming's eyes turned cold, as if he was assessing the situation at hand.

Anyone who knows his secret must not live in this world. Fortunately, Cui Er is the only one who knows this. As long as she is dealt with, everything can get back on track.

"Have you told anyone else about this?" Shen Yuming's voice was low and calm.

Cui'er hesitated for a moment, remembering that she had revealed the news to the eldest lady first, but she didn't dare tell anyone else, fearing that the master would blame her for not reporting it first.

So she shook her head firmly: "I didn't tell anyone, sir."

Shen Yuming nodded with satisfaction: "I understand. I will send someone to investigate this matter. You can go back now."

Cui'er breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the master for not doubting her. She left the study room full of hope, thinking that the master would definitely seek justice for the lady.

After she left the house, she couldn't hold back her tears and whispered a promise to redress the lady's grievances.

Back in the study, Shen Yuming's face was still cold. His plan almost failed because of a momentary negligence.

Fortunately, there was still time to remedy the situation. He quickly summoned his men, "We cannot let that maidservant live."

Outside the study, the old nanny was looking for Cui'er and was going to teach her a lesson because she suddenly ran out and might affect the order of the mansion.

The old lady complained as she walked: "Why is this girl running around again? Shouldn't we let her have a good rest?"

There was no sign of Cui'er in the backyard, and the old nanny became unhappy and hurried towards the servants' room.

"Cui Er! Cui Er!" She shouted as she pushed the door open, ready to scold the little girl. But her voice suddenly stopped, her eyes full of fear.

In the room, Cui'er's body was hanging in the air, her face was as pale as paper, her tongue hung limply, and her eyes were wide open, as if filled with fear and confusion.

The old lady screamed and collapsed on the ground: "Cui Er committed suicide!"

The news quickly spread throughout the Shen Mansion. The servants shook their heads and sighed, admiring Cui'er's loyalty.

"What a good maid she was." Someone said, his regret evident in his words.
