Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 63 Where did Xu Yan go?

Gu Nianchu's words were so righteous that Lord Shen and Shen Ling were almost dying of anxiety.

Shen Shaobai was still crying loudly for his mother.

The entire mourning hall was in chaos.

The servants who came to help the master express condolences were all shocked.

What is the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion going to do?
They originally speculated that Aunt Xu was beaten to death by Gu Nianchu, the mistress of the house, but they didn't expect that there was another hidden story.

"Nianchu, please stop making a fuss. Aunt Xu has passed away. Just let her rest in peace."

Shen Ling pleaded with Gu Nianchu: "Death is the greatest thing. Aunt Xu is already dead. How long are you going to keep arguing with her? I was wrong before. I hurt your face for an aunt. I will live a good life with you in the future."

Gu Nian smiled coldly. Shen Ling, this scumbag, still wanted to put the blame on her.

"Sir, this is not right. Concubine Xu is obviously not dead, so who is the person in the coffin? If Concubine Xu is not dead, where did she go? Was she kidnapped by thieves? Should we go to rescue her immediately?"

"Sir, what are you feeling guilty about? Or was this all part of your plan? You wanted to trick me into thinking that Aunt Xu was dead, but in fact, she wasn't?"

"I, Gu Nianchu, am not someone who cannot tolerate a concubine. Since I allow you to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to marry her as a concubine, and to let her manage the household affairs once she enters the house, isn't that enough to show my feelings?"

Gu Nianchu had a crying tone when she said this, sounding very aggrieved.

The servants who came to pay their respects were not in a hurry to leave. If the master was here, he would certainly not want to see the joke of the Marquis' Mansion. They wanted to save face, but they were servants. What was wrong with not knowing etiquette?
Everyone stood on tiptoe to watch the fun, waiting to go back and report to the host to get a reward.

Lord Shen, with a cold face, asked the butler to ask the servants from each mansion to move to other places to serve tea.

"My Lord, Mr. Huang from Jingzhao Prefecture and Chief Justice Song are here."

Following the announcement from the doorman, Huang Rongli and Song Tixing came in.

"Lord Shen, Master Shen, someone has come to report that Aunt Xu's body has been replaced. Let's come and take a look."

Judge Song said, "Please ask Lord Shen to evacuate the people. We need to investigate the case."

When the servants who came to pay their respects saw that the government officials were alarmed, they hastily retreated. However, they wanted to bring first-hand information back to their master, so they stood in the yard and refused to leave.

Such excitement is rare in a century.

"Master Huang, Master Song, this is all a misunderstanding. The concubine of the Marquis' Mansion has passed away. There is no need for this. Please both of you come."

Lord Shen stepped forward and tried to get close to the two adults, but Huang Rongli and Chief Inspector Song ignored him completely.

Judge Song ordered directly: "Come and perform an autopsy."

Soon a coroner came forward to examine the body. It turned out that the corpse was a female and she was the concubine of the Marquis's mansion, so they still used a curtain to cover it.

The Shen family's father and son looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They didn't even have to think too much to know that this person must have been invited by Gu Nianchu.

Both father and son were puzzled. Wasn't Gu Nianchu very unhappy because Shen Ling married Xu Yan? Why did she still hold on to Xu Yan's death?
The coroners in Jingzhao Prefecture were all experienced old men, and they reported the autopsy results quickly.

The female corpse was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and was poisoned to death.

When Gu Nianchu knew the result, he patted his chest and said, "Mrs. Xu is only less than 20 years old now. So, this person is definitely not her. Something must have happened to Mrs. Xu. Please send people to look for her. Our mansion will bear all the expenses." "Mr. Huang, Mr. Song, no matter what, she is our mansion's mistress. Please send more people to look for her. If she is alive, we must find her. If she is dead, we must find her body."

"My Lord, Prince, you think so too, right?"

Gu Nianchu's words made the faces of the Shen family father and son turn very ugly.

Xu Yan was originally hidden by them, and now they have to spend their mansion's money to find her?

But now neither the father nor the son dared to say it, they didn’t think so.

"Yes, please ask Master Huang and Master Song to help us find Aunt Xu."

Shen Ling looked constipated: "As long as the two adults help us find Aunt Xu, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely reward you handsomely."

Mr. Huang waved his hand and said, "My Lord, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's wife, please rest assured. I will definitely send more people to look for the concubine in the mansion. The New Year is approaching, and we must find her and let the Crown Prince and Concubine Xu reunite."

"I will send the expenditure account to the Marquis' Mansion when the time comes."

Lord Huang and Lord Song did not stay in the Marquis' Mansion for long, as they were busy investigating a case.

As soon as the two masters left, the servants from other mansions returned to their mansions one after another to report to their masters the interesting things that happened in the mansion.

I heard that there was another joke in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and everyone was making up stories behind the scenes.

The Shen family of Zhenbeihou Mansion is responsible for all the jokes in Kyoto City.

Shen Ling asked Gu Nianchu with a cold face: "Gu Nianchu, why did you do this?"

Gu Nianchu was confused: "Prince, what do you mean by this? What did I do? Isn't this for the reputation of the Marquisate?"

Suddenly, Gu Nianchu pointed at Shen Ling and said, "Prince, did you do this? Do you want to frame me in this way?"

"Let me think about it. What is your purpose in doing this? You want me to mistakenly believe that Xu Yan is dead, so that you can trick me into registering you and her son under my name, and then find a way to kill me. Then all my dowry will belong to you and her son, right?"

I have to say, Gu Nianchu is truthful.

But do the Shen family father and son dare to admit it? Of course they don't dare to admit it.

"Nian Chu, how could you have such a terrible idea? You and I have been married forever, how could I do this? Don't let your imagination run wild. You've been tired all day, go back and take a rest. You don't have to worry about these things anymore, I will take care of them."

Shen Ling was locked in the mourning hall by Gu Nianchu's men to keep vigil. He was already exhausted, both physically and mentally. Now he had to deal with Gu Nianchu's suspicion. He felt a little overwhelmed.

"Sir, stop dreaming."

Gu Nianchu left with these words and left with his men.

She had achieved her desired goal, and she would not let them clean up the remaining mess.

Back at Begonia Garden, Nanny Tian felt sorry for Gu Nianchu: "Miss, don't be sad. The Shen family is not worth your sadness."

Gu Nianchu shook her head: "Madam Tian, ​​I have long passed the time to feel sad. They are not worth it. Now I just want to drag them into the quagmire and not let any of them escape!"
