Chapter 71 An Shaoyu’s Death

Months had passed, it was almost time for Shu Yuwan to get married, and she stayed in the mansion.

Qing Dai came in and said, “Miss, it’s time to take Miss Wenyue to the mansion.”

Today, Wenyue was going to be adopted by her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Shu Yuwan took Wenyue. The clan leader and several elders were present. Normally, adopting Wenyue to the eldest brother wouldn’t require the presence of the clan leader and others, but since they were willing to come, it was naturally better.

Father, mother, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law had also arrived.

Shu Yuwan picked up Wenyue and placed her in front of his brother, “Wenyue, greet your Uncle and Aunt.”

Wenyue was only adopted by Shu Yuwan name in the tree, but in the mansion, she still called Shu Yuwan siblings and sisters in laws, uncle and aunt. And also she still called Shu Yuwan mother.

Their clan did not intervene after all, it was a matter of the Shu family, so let them handle it.

Shu Yuwan picked up Wenyue and gave her a big red envelope.

Then the Shu clan leader changed the name on the family, and the adoption was completed.

Back in the mansion, Shu Yuwan was downcast all day. Mother Zhao knew that Shu Yuwan was reluctant to part with the child and advised, “Miss, once you establish yourself in the palace, you can bring Miss Wenyue over.”

Shu Yuwan forced a smile, “Rest assured mother, I will.”

The position of the Crown Prince was not yet secure, and there were still Zhang Consort, Shu Consort, and Virtuous Consort in the palace. She would not bring Wenyue with her.

She just couldn’t bear to part with her in her heart.

In the future, if the Crown Prince ascended smoothly and she could ensure Wenyue’s safety, she could bring her to the palace for a while. Thinking about this, Shu Yuwan felt motivated.

Mother Zhao comforted her a few more times and then went busy. Shu Yuwan’s wedding was approaching, and the people in the Shu Mansion were busy these days.

Soon, Qing Dai hurried over, looking inexplicably serious, “Miss,”

Shu Yuwan saw and asked others to leave.

Qing Dai continued, “Zhao Qing Qing killed An Shaoyu!”

Shu Yuwan was shocked, “What?”

Qing Dai nodded firmly, “Lu Yi and the others protected Chunxiu. Lu Yi came back to inform us that Zhao Qing Qing had killed An Shaoyu. Unable to harm Chunxiu, Zhao Qing Qing hurriedly left with her maids. Chunxiu sent someone to call the doctor, but when Lu Yi came back, he checked and found that he had already passed away~”

“Quickly ask Lu Yi to go to the Anding Marquis mansion to report, don’t let Zhao Qing Qing distort the truth.”

Qing Dai hurriedly said, “I’ll go now.”

Qing Dai left in a hurry, leaving Shu Yuwan still a bit stunned. This was truly unexpected~

A pleasant surprise!

She had only intended to sow discord between Zhao Qing Qing and An Shaoyu, but she didn’t expect Zhao Qing Qing to directly kill An Shaoyu!

Lu Yi received the instructions and ran off quickly.

All the way, he shouted, “Zhao Qing Qing killed the Third Young Master!!”

When he arrived at the Anding Marquis mansion, he was already in tears and snot, “Quick, someone! Zhao Qing Qing killed the Third Young Master!! Zhao Qing Qing killed the Third Young Master!!”

For a while, the mansion was in chaos.

Wei Shi hurriedly led people to Chunxiu’s courtyard.

When Wei Shi arrived, the doctor that Chunxiu had called was already there. The doctor shook his head, and said “Prepare for the funeral.”

Wei Shi heard this as she entered and burst into tears, throwing herself on An Shaoyu. She saw several bloody wounds on her son, and his clothes were covered in blood~

“My son~~ my son~~”

Chunxiu, with her belly protruding, had a few little maids surrounding her, shivering and trembling, occasionally clutching her stomach in pain~

“Damn Zhao Qing Qing!!”

With a pair of eyes full of hatred and redness, she looked at Chunxiu, “Where is Zhao Qing Qing?”

Chunxiu trembled as she spoke, “He ran away. The little maids caught up and saw the carriage heading towards the direction of the Blue Stone Alley~”

Wei Shi sternly ordered the maids beside her, “Send people to find her, bring that wretched person back to me!!”

She also instructed someone to go find a Doctor, “Bring a few more doctors, maybe there’s still a chance to save my son~”

The maids by her side couldn’t argue and went to find the doctors.

However, no matter how many doctors came, they all said to prepare for the funeral~

Wei Shi finally accepted the fact that An Shaoyu was dead and ordered his body to be brought back to the Anding Marquis mansion.

The old lady of the Anding Marquis, upon hearing this, she fainted on the spot. It wasn’t until now that she woke up and heard that An Shaoyu had been brought back, so she hurried over~

Seeing her lifeless grandson, she wailed and lamented~

Liu Shi, on the side, also covered her face with a handkerchief, crying out loud, thinking to herself: this is truly retribution~

Mr. Hou and his two brothers hurriedly back to the mansion. At this moment, seeing An Shaoyu’s body, their eyes turned red in an instant.

The Old Lady rushed forward to hit his son crying, “It’s all because of you, letting Shaoyu marry that woman, it’s caused Shaoyu’s life!”

Wei Shi, upon hearing this, looked up at his husband resentment in her eyes.

Mr. Hou dared not retaliate, seething with anger, “Where is Zhao Qing Qing?”

They ignored him.

The steward cautiously stepped forward, “Zhao Qing Qing harmed the Third Young Master and then ran away. We have already sent people to find her~”

At this moment.

Zhao Qing Qing was hiding in the maternal home of the Virtuous Consort, Peng Shang Shu Mansion.

On the other side.

It was the noblewoman who had met Zhao Qing Qing at the Xinglong Tavern last time, the sister-in-law of the Virtuous Consort who came to see Zhao Qing Qing. Although she took Zhao Qing Qing in, she couldn’t help but blame her.

 “Why did you kill your husband? Now, how can the forces of the Anding Marquis be used?”

“It’s quite normal for a man to take a concubine. If you don’t like it, just send the woman away. But you actually stabbed your own husband to death, which is quite extraordinary.”

“You’re fiercer that I thought, do you really think that you have enough power to kill?”

Zhao Qing Qing’s eyes were ruthless, “I told him long ago, if he betrayed me, I would take his life!!”

Mrs. Peng looked at Zhao Qing Qing as if she were crazy.

She didn’t want to say more to her, “You came here without being noticed, right?”

“If the Anding Marquis’s mansion comes looking for you, I can’t protect you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing Qing looked sharply at Mrs. Peng, “Even if the Anding Marquis mansion find me, don’t forget, I have powerful weapons in my hands.”

Mrs. Peng was taken aback, “So you’re gonna disappeared?”

Zhao Qing Qing’s face turned dark. At that time, she was too focused on finding a safe place and didn’t bother to cover her tracks. However, she had followed An Shaoyu in an ordinary sedan chair, so it shouldn’t be easy to trace her.

So she shook her head, “They shouldn’t be able to find me here.”
