After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Is this a dead person?
Qiao Jingjing subconsciously moved closer to Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi held her hand tightly and soothed her gently, "Don't be afraid."

With his comfort, the fear in Qiao Jingjing's heart dissipated a little.

Someone actually killed someone in Zuixianlou.

Who is so bold as to commit a crime in public?

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Manager Chen coming out from the crowd. Seeing the two of them, he hurried forward and said, "Master Lu, the one who is in trouble is the old lady Chen you are looking for."

Qiao Jingjing's heart sank when she heard this.

The one who got into trouble was actually Aunt Chen?

"What's going on?" Lu Xingzhi asked in a deep voice.

"She had just cleaned up the private room and came out when she was stabbed. She lost a lot of blood. I'm afraid she's not going to make it." Manager Chen sighed.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jingjing no longer cared about being afraid. She hurriedly broke free from Lu Xingzhi's hand and rushed towards Aunt Chen who was lying in a pool of blood.

Lu Xingzhi frowned, followed him, and said to Manager Chen who followed him: "Did your young master come to Zuixianlou today?"

Before Manager Chen could answer, a lazy voice asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Lu Xingzhi looked back and saw that it was Xiahou Xi. He frowned and said, "No matter what method you use, stabilize the aunt's injury first."

Xiahou Xi looked at him in confusion, but he was planning to treat the old lady, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said to Manager Chen, "Get my medicine box."

"Yes." Manager Chen hurried over.

Because the young master knows medicine, a medicine box is also placed in Zuixian Tower.

When he got the medicine box, his son had already squatted beside Aunt Chen, and Mrs. Lu was holding the aunt's hand tightly.

"Auntie, you have to hold on." Qiao Jingjing was very anxious as she looked at the auntie who was already very weak.

Aunt Chen's scattered eyes focused on her face.

"Second Miss..."

Hearing this address, Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Auntie, I am not the second young lady you mentioned. I am the guest who accidentally bumped into you that day."

Aunt Chen seemed to not hear what she said, and she kept talking to herself: "I'm sorry for you...but I couldn't do anything at that time...my mother was sick and no one was taking care of her...I had no choice but to resign and return home to take care of her..."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, her heart moved. Seeing that she was breathing out more than breathing in, she was afraid that something might happen to her, so she hurriedly asked, "Aunt, I know you are most concerned about your second daughter. Please tell me which family she is from, and I will help you find her and see if she is doing well."

"Yu, Yu family..." Aunt Chen's consciousness began to fade. She no longer had the energy to think and almost blurted out the words.

"Are you talking about Yu Feng'er?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

"No... that's the eldest daughter... the second daughter is Fei'er..." Aunt Chen tried to keep her eyelids open. When she thought of her second daughter, tears flowed from her eyes. "My poor second daughter... was abandoned at birth... They are twins... one was cherished in the palm of her hand... and the other was ignored..."

Qiao Jingjing was afraid of missing a word, so she lowered her head and listened carefully to what she said.

"I have tried my best." At this moment, Xiahou Xi suddenly said.

Qiao Jingjing was startled and turned around to see that Aunt Chen's eyes were wide open and she was silent.

Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Lu Xingzhi reached out and supported her.

Soon, Aunt Chen was carried away by Manager Chen and his men.

Just as Lu Xingzhi helped Qiao Jingjing up to the third floor, Xiahou Xi came in.

"Do you know that lady?"

Lu Xingzhi paused and shook his head, "Not really knowing her." Xiahou Xi looked at the pale-faced Qiao Jingjing, "Then how about my sister-in-law..."

Qiao Jingjing had calmed down by now. She sighed and said, "Including this time, I have only seen her twice, but judging from what Aunt Chen said before she died, she was most likely the wet nurse who took care of my biological mother."

Xiahou Xi was even more confused when he heard this. Wasn't his sister-in-law from the countryside? Did she have a biological mother and a wet nurse?

"Xiahou, have you sent anyone to chase the murderer?" Lu Xingzhi changed the subject.

"When the incident just happened, Manager Chen sent people to chase after him, but the people haven't come back yet. I guess they didn't catch up." Xiahou Xi said.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Manager Chen came in and said, "Sir, the people we sent out failed to catch up with the criminal."

"Do you remember what the criminal looks like?" Xiahou Xi asked in a deep voice.

Manager Chen shook his head. "The criminal was wearing a scarf and suddenly appeared. He stabbed Mrs. Chen and then quickly fled."

Xiahou Xi frowned, "He dared to kill someone in my Zuixianlou. This person is really brave."

"Sir, do we need to report this matter to the police?" Manager Chen asked.

Without waiting for Xiahou Xi to speak, Lu Xingzhi spoke first, "We need to report to the authorities."

Manager Chen looked at Xiahou Xi.

Xiahou Xi nodded and said, "Report it to the authorities and let them investigate."

"Yes." Manager Chen responded and went downstairs.

Xiahou Xi glanced at Qiao Jingjing and asked Lu Xingzhi, "What do you want to do with Aunt Chen's body? When the government officials come, should we let them take it away?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at Qiao Jingjing, "What do you think? Should we give her a proper burial?"

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Yes."

Although the matter has not been thoroughly investigated, from what Aunt Chen said, the second young lady is indeed the daughter of the Yu family, and is also a twin sister of Madam Qin.

But from Aunt Chen's words, it is not difficult to see that the second young lady's situation in the Yu family is that she is not welcomed, and she doesn't even leave any trace. It is really pitiful.

On the contrary, Aunt Chen was still thinking about the second young lady until her death.

Such a loyal and righteous person certainly deserves a grand burial.

Not to mention, she is most likely the second young lady's child.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Xing firmly and said, "The person who killed Aunt Chen must have been ordered by Madam Qin."

After hearing this, Lu Xingzhi was not surprised at all, but Xiahou Xi was puzzled, "Why are you sure it was Madam Qin?"

"The aunt just now said before she died that the second young lady she once served was also a daughter of the Yu family, and was a twin sister of Madam Qin." Qiao Jingjing said.

Xiahou Xi was shocked. "The Yu family has another daughter? How come I have never heard of it?"

He was busy treating the aunt and didn't hear what she said.

Moreover, the Xiahou family and the Qin family were old friends, and his mother had frequent contacts with Madam Qin, but he had never heard that Madam Qin had a twin sister.

"You...is there something you didn't tell me?" He looked at the couple suspiciously.

Lu Xingzhi paused and said, "This is about my wife's background. I can't tell you until I find out more about it."

After hearing this, Xiahou Xi didn't ask any more questions.

However, is there any hidden story behind my sister-in-law's life experience?
Looking at his sister-in-law's appearance, he suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Could it be that my sister-in-law's background is related to the Qin family? Are you also a lady of the Qin family?"

"Xiahou, I'm still investigating this matter, so don't tell anyone yet." Lu Xingzhi said. (End of this chapter)
