Chapter 55
"Miss Qi, is there something urgent?"

Shen Tu wanted none of your business.

"Go back to your lord, father doesn't allow us to go out for too long." Shen Cuo replied respectfully.

"Master Shi Lang is in the mansion today?"

"Go back to the prince, father is out today and is not in the mansion."

"That's an unfortunate coincidence."

The moment she turned around and stepped out of the rouge shop, Shen Tu let out a heavy breath.

"Qiqiao, hurry up." She urged Qiqiao who was walking behind with a rouge compact.

Qiqiao seemed to understand, and immediately quickened her pace.

"Qiqiao, didn't he follow?" Shen Cu didn't dare to turn around to look.

Qi Qiao glanced back quickly, "No, miss."

Hearing Qiqiao say no, Shen Cu dared to slow down.

"When I see this Prince Jade in the future, I must remember it and avoid it." Shen Tu ran his hands along his chest, and walked so quickly that he was gasping for breath.

Qiqiao nodded, "Miss, I understand."

Outside the Qi residence.

"Miss, isn't this young master Mu?" Qi Qiao has good eyesight, and immediately recognized that the person with his back to them was Mu Chi.

"He must be waiting for the second lady." Qiqiao affirmed again.

Qi Ye and Mu Chi were not familiar, so Shen Tu couldn't get close to him and asked him why he stayed outside this door and didn't go in.

"Master Mu."

Hearing someone calling him, Mu Chi turned around.

"you are?"

"Qi Ye." Shen Tu replied, "I am the fifth girl of the Qi family."

"Why does Young Master Mu stay outside this door and not go in?"

Mu Chi hesitated.

Shen Cu went to ask the boy who opened the door, "Is Second Sister not in the mansion?"

"I didn't see Second Miss go out today." The boy replied.

"Need me to tell Second Sister that Young Master Mu is waiting for her outside the door?"

"Then... I will trouble Miss Wu."

"Young Master Mu, you are being polite."

After saying that, Shen Tu raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, turned a corner and walked towards Qi Yue Yuan.

As soon as her foot stepped into the yard, she cried out.

"Second sister."

"Is the second sister in the house?"

"who is it?"

"It's me, Qi Ye."

"Fifth Sister? Come in!"

Shen Tu seldom comes to Qiyue Courtyard anymore, and the furnishings in the house have already changed.

"Is there something wrong with Fifth Sister looking for me?"

Shen Tu smiled at her, "It's not my business, it's the second sister's business."

"What's the matter with me?"

"I came to Second Sister's place today to deliver a message," she said, "I just came back and saw Young Master Mu standing outside the door and not coming in, so I asked for my sister."

While speaking, Shen Tu kept staring at Qi Yue's face. When she mentioned Mu Chi, her expression changed for a moment, but she couldn't see what the change meant.

"Fifth Sister, please make a special trip. In the future, I will just ask my servants to do this kind of thing."

Shen Tu smiled, "No trouble, Second Sister and I have saved our lives, so this little thing of running errands is nothing."

-

After noon, Shen Tu dozed off on the couch.

Suddenly there was a piercing scream, followed by noisy voices.

"Qiqiao, Qiqiao."

"Hey." Qiqiao also leaned against the door frame and fell asleep.

Shen Tu didn't like anyone disturbing her sleep the most, "What's the matter?"

Qiqiao didn't know either, she said, "I'll go and have a look."

Qiqiao came back panting again.

Shen Tu couldn't fall asleep after being woken up, but his body was still lazy, and he lay on the couch and didn't think about it.

"Miss, it's the Second Miss." Qiqiao panted heavily, "Second Miss... She, like Chunrong, hanged herself."

Suicide by hanging?
Shen Cu sat up abruptly, "Why did you hang yourself?"

Qiqiao shook her head, "The mansion is in total chaos now, Second Miss's courtyard is full of people, and the adults and the old lady have also gone."

Shen Tu hurriedly got up from the couch, put on his shoes, and said to Qiqiao, "Let's go and have a look too."

She only saw her two hours ago, why did she hang herself suddenly?

All the way to Qiyueyuan, I also ran into Aunt Wang with a big belly.

"Fifth girl." Aunt Wang called her to stop.

"Auntie, why are you here?" She slowed down and supported Wang Liuying.

"How can I not go when such a big thing happens."

Wang Liuying's complexion was also not very good, she was pregnant, and troubles happened one after another in the house, she thought it was an ominous omen.

Qiyueyuan was indeed crowded with people, she and Dong Yun supported Wang Liuying, being careful not to bump into her.

What's going on, they don't know.

There are almost all the people in the servant's mansion.

She asked Qi Yanshen, "Third brother, how is the second sister?"

Qi Yanshen shook his head, "It's nothing."

Shen Tu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words nothing happened. If Qi Yue died, those mysteries that she had not solved until now would not be revealed.

"Where is the second sister?" She asked Qi Yanshen again.

"In the house." Qi Yanshen said.

Shen Tu nodded, at this time, it was not easy for her to go in, so she could only come back tomorrow, but she really couldn't figure out why Qi Yue wanted to hang herself.

Is it—

Could it be related to Mu Chi?

"Fifth Miss." It was the boy who opened the door, "Someone is looking for Fifth Miss outside the door."

"Who is looking for me?" Shen Tu asked him.

The servant didn't know that Qin Sa belonged to Xiao Shilian, "It's still the same person a few days ago." He said.

how many days ago?
Qin Sa?

"I'm coming here."

"Qiqiao," she ordered, "You and Dongyun take good care of Auntie, I'll be back as soon as I go."

Qiqiao nodded, "Understood, Miss."

It really was Qin Sa.

"Fifth girl."

Qin Sa spoke first.

"Your young master has something to say to me again?" Shen Tu asked calmly, hiding the joy in his heart.

"My son wants to ask Miss Wu for something." Qin Sa said bluntly.

Shen Tu wondered what Xiao Shilian could ask her for.

"Young master said that he wanted to ask Miss Wu for another share of the exquisite dim sum that Miss Wu sent that day."

Exquisite dim sum?

Shen Tu recalled, it seemed that there was indeed one time.

"Your son is back?"

"I went back yesterday." Qin Sa replied.

"When are we leaving?"

"tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow, at the tea shop in front of the Xiao Mansion, we will see you there or leave."

Qin Sa went back, and Shen Tu also turned back to the house.

She thought that Aunt Wang should still be there, but——

She only left for a while, and the people in the courtyard all dispersed.

The room was also quiet, did grandma and the others go back?

Curiosity made her not turn around and leave, but walked into the house.

"Second sister?"

"Hong Yan?"

What about people?

Where have they all gone?
"Fifth Miss."

Suddenly there was a sound, which startled her.

The voice seemed to come from behind, she turned around, it was Hongyan.

"Hongyan." She asked, "Where's the second sister?"

"Second Miss is in the room," Hongyan replied, "she has already fallen asleep."

No wonder it was so quiet.

"Hongyan." She asked in a low voice, "What happened to Second Sister, why did she want to..." She didn't say the four words of hanging herself.
