Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1999 Seeking wealth and killing people

"Two second young masters' wives?" Wan Shufang couldn't help but exclaimed. After Yunxiang nodded, she pursed her lips and signaled her with her eyes to continue.

"The Qin family has two second young wives. One is the current Feng Yingying, and the other is Liu Xiuyun. I am Miss Xiuyun's maidservant."

"Miss Xiuyun was born into a wealthy family. When she married into the Qin family, she brought a very generous dowry. She used the dowry to support the Qin family's prosperity, but she was murdered by the Qin family and the dowry was also seized!"

There was resentment in Yunxiang's eyes, her hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and her whole body was shaking. It was obvious that she was extremely angry.

But after a moment, she covered her face again, lowered her head helplessly, and sobbed, "I grew up with the young lady. The young lady was kind and treated me very well, but I could only watch her being killed..."

Hearing the guilt in Yunxiang's words, Wan Shufang frowned. She was deeply touched for a moment, but didn't know what to say. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she instantly remembered the mysterious woman she met that day.

Wan Shufang suppressed her speculation and asked tentatively: "Yunxiang, what if she is still alive?"

Hearing this, Yunxiang's eyes suddenly showed hope, and she looked at Wan Shufang with burning eyes: "Madam, this is serious!"

"As long as the young lady is still alive, Yunxiang is willing to be loyal to the young lady for life. As for the Qin family... I will listen to the young lady."

After she finished speaking, she cast an expectant look at Wan Shufang. Wan Shufang did not say anything, but straightened up, looked into Chen Changli's eyes, and nodded slightly.

Early the next morning.

Wan Shufang returned to the Qin family. Facing the housekeeper who was blocking her way, she remained calm and politely nodded, saying, "Old housekeeper, please let me know. I want to see the second young master's wife for something."

"I heard the Second Young Master's wife talking about beauty ointment that day, so I wanted to borrow it to have a look. You know, a woman's most important thing is her appearance."

Wan Shufang acted like she loved beauty, which made the housekeeper relax his vigilance. He nodded immediately and went back to the house to report. Soon, Wan Shufang was led in.

Feng Yingying was already waiting in the yard. When she saw Wan Shufang, she stood up and gently filled two cups with tea. "Madam, please sit down. I have asked the maid to get the ointment. Please wait for a moment."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded gently, but she didn't bother to be polite with her. She sat down, picked up the teacup and shook it slowly: "Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."

"I have heard people talk about the ointment of the Second Young Master's Madam. It seems to be a special Poria cocos ointment made by Lingxiangpu. It is the only one in this store and the demand is far exceeding the supply. It is said that if you want to buy it, you need to have some connections." As she spoke, Wan Shufang sighed, with a look of regret on her face.

"What a pity, I wanted to buy it..."

"Madam, if you want to buy it, just let me know. Our Qin family still has the face to do so." Feng Yingying smiled and clinked glasses.

"Yes, I heard that the owner behind this incense shop is the Qin family?"

After saying this, Wan Shufang took a sip of tea calmly, but her eyes were always fixed on Feng Yingying.

Feng Yingying remained calm from beginning to end, behaved gently, and her answers were impeccable.

"Ma'am, you are joking. I don't know anything about business matters. You should ask father about this."

She raised her hand and gently poured another cup of tea for Wan Shufang. Seeing that Feng Yingying did not reveal any flaws, Wan Shufang frowned slightly and did not rush to leave.

The two chatted idly, but no matter how she tested Feng Yingying, she didn't give anything away and her answers were flawless.

Seeing this, Wan Shufang frowned and said nothing. When she saw Chen Changli and Old Master Qin also approaching, she finally stood up and said calmly, "Second Madam, thank you for disturbing us today. It's getting late, so we'll go back first."

"Hey wait, ma'am, take this bottle of Poria cocos paste back." Feng Yingying stuffed the Poria cocos paste into Wan Shufang's arms. Her enthusiastic look made it difficult for Wan Shufang to refuse.

He had no choice but to accept the gift and nodded slightly at her.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."

"You are Welcome."

After the pleasantries, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang prepared to leave. Old Man Qin and Feng Yingying followed to see them off. When they were not far from the gate, Chen Changli expressed his gratitude and asked Feng Yingying to help the old man go back to rest while they left the house by themselves.

The old man was not in good health, but Feng Yingying did not refuse. After the others left, Chen Changli and the others also prepared to leave.

Before leaving the house, Chen Changli saw the butler standing at the door. His eyes turned and he stopped: "Butler Qin, I heard from Master Tianci that the second young master's wife is not the original wife."

Hearing this, the butler was obviously panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down, thinking silently in his heart that since the master dared to say it, there must be no problem.

He just needs to say less, and he can also give the Duke some face. Thinking of this, the housekeeper smiled and said softly: "Your Excellency doesn't know that twenty years ago, the Qin family had an alliance with the Liu family business."

"Miss Liu Xiuyun of the Liu family married our second young master, but Miss Liu was weak and died of a sudden illness not long after the marriage." As he said this, he shook his head with a look of regret.

Wan Shufang had not expected to get such words out of her. She opened her mouth slightly, but after a moment, she turned her head away to hide the smile in her eyes.

Seeing that he had got the answer he wanted, Chen Changli did not insist any further. He said goodbye to the housekeeper and was about to leave the Qin family with Wan Shufang, but Wan Shufang stopped him with a look of pity on her face.

"I don't know where this Madam Liu is buried. We are here to disturb the Qin family. I can't bear it, so I want to pay tribute to her." She sighed deeply and shook her head: "It's pitiful. She died at such a young age."

"Madam, you are kind-hearted. Liu is buried in the woods southeast of the town. It's not far away, but there are many graves over there. It's eerie and scary. Madam, you'd better not go there."

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang was slightly stunned. She never expected that this was the mass grave they had encountered before they came here. A look of shock appeared on her face.

"May I ask if Miss Liu had any children before she passed away?"

"No, it's just that Liu...died in the sixth month of pregnancy, the fetus was stillborn." After saying this, the housekeeper looked at Wan Shufang in surprise: "How did Madam know?"

Seeing that he was beginning to get suspicious, Wan Shufang waved her hands and calmed down.

"It's okay, I'm just asking. It's getting late, so we won't bother you."

She nodded slightly to the housekeeper, and pulled Chen Changli away, her steps somewhat anxiously.

"Shufang, what's wrong?"

Hearing Chen Changli's question, Wan Shufang shook her head and didn't say anything. When she was a little further away from the Qin family and was sure that no one was eavesdropping, she slowly spoke: "Changli, Liu's tomb is the one we encountered before."

"I guess that Liu not only survived, but also gave birth to a child. The child she was holding was most likely delivered in a coffin."
