Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 403

~ FAKE DEAD BODY! ~
Just as the guests were preparing to leave, Mu Yunyao opened her mouth, “Grandmother, all the guests originally wanted to witness the coming of age ceremony for Elder Sister Su You and I. But now that the ceremony is gone, I would like to ask all the guests to be my witnesses once again, so we could thoroughly interrogate Liu Mama. Why do you have to be in a hurry to get out of the guests leave?”
The Old Madam’s eyes were dark as she stared at Mu Yunyao with a slightly sluggish gaze, “Yunyao, I know that you are feeling wronged, but you can’t mess around in front of so many guests.”
“Elder Sister Su You is dead, and the servants in the house have joined together to slander me. In Grandma’s eyes, is it just nonsense?” Mu Yunyao knelt down to the Old Madam and bowed respectfully. “Grandmother, I don’t know what to say or why I don’t understand. Today, I want to find out the truth and thoroughly prove my innocence. In addition, I want to give Elder Sister Su You justice. Thus, I hope grandmother will not stop me.”
“Yunyao, you’re not even going to listen to what I say?” The warning in the Old Madam’s eyes grew stronger as she attempted to use the pressure in her eyes to make Mu Yunyao compromise.
“As a junior, out of filial piety, I shouldn obey Grandmother. After I investigate this clearly, I will let my Grandmother punish me.” However, Mu Yunyao’s expression was stubborn. After she finished speaking, she stood up and turned to look at the Second Madam, “Second Aunt, didn’t you want to take revenge for Elder Sister Su You? Why don’t you start interrogating Liu Mama?”
The Second Madam bowed to the Old Madam before standing up to order the guards, “Beat! Beat!”
Liu Mama was so frightened that her entire body was trembling. She couldn’t help but look at the Eldest Madam with a pleading look asking for help.
The Eldest Madam turned her eyes aside and didn’t look at her. She was angry to a few points. She had been robbed of her authority as a household in charge. Qi Mama had been taken away by Shen Binghuai to be interrogated because she was involved in Yun Chun’s abuse. There were not many people around her that could be used. Thus, she repeatedly instructed Liu Mama to do this small task. Who would have thought that she would be caught by Mu Yunyao?
Liu Mama was always bullying the weak and fearful of the strong. She was not a spineless person. After a few planks, she began to burst into tears and confessed: “Second Madam, stop beating. If you beat me again, you will kill me. The Eldest Madam told me to do it. I just listen to the master’s instructions and don’t know anything else.”
The guests shifted their gazes to the Eldest Madam.
Mu Yunyao looked up and said, “Eldest Aunt, it’s really you....”
“It’s not me. It has nothing to do with me.” The Eldest Madam quickly shook her head in denial.
“Please go to the Shuntian Manor and tell them about this matter.” Mu Yunyao turned to look at Si Qin and Si Qi, “Immediately go to the Shuntian Manor to report this....”
“There’s no need. I’ve already come.” A serious voice rang out, and everyone stepped aside to allowed Shen Binghuai to walk in front.
The Eldest Madam’s heart trembled. When she saw Shen Binghuai, she subconsciously took two steps back.
The Old Madam cursed herself for being impatient. After stabilizing her expression, she stepped forward and asked, “Why is Lord Shen here?”
Shen Binghuai cupped his hands and bowed, “Greetings, The Old Madam Sun. I have come this time to deal with Miss Su You’s matter from your residence.”
“It just happened, but it spread so fast that Lord Shen even knew it?” The Old Madam’s heart sank as she felt that things were getting out of hand.
Su Wenyuan stood at the side without saying a word. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Mu Yunyao walked forward, ignoring the Old Madam’s warning, and said, “Lord Shen came at the right time. Just now, I wanted to ask someone to invite you over. Today is the day Elder Ssister Su You and I have our coming of age ceremony, but while we are waiting in the east wing....”
After hearing Mu Yunyao’s story, Shen Binghuai tightly furrowed his brows: “Miss Mu, you said just now that this Shen Ce said that he was ordered by you to kill Miss Su?”
“Exactly.”
Shen Binghuai shook his head and said with a tone full of anger, “What utter nonsense.”
Su Wenyuan stood out, “Lord Shen, you just heard from Mu Yunyao, and the matter had not been verified. Thus, it’s hard to come to a conclusion easily.”
Shen Binghuai looked at Su Wenyuan with deep scrutiny in his eyes, “Could it be that Lord Su thinks that Su You was truly killed by Mu Yunyao?”
“I don’t think so. However, we still need to find out what the truth is.”

“There’s no need to investigate. I can prove that Miss Mu is innocent.” Shen Binghuai said in a very positive tone.
Su Wenyuan’s brows creased even tighter. “Lord Shen, as the official of Shuntian Manor, how could you make such a hasty decision?”
“It’s not that I’m sloppy, but this case is completely fictional.”
People talked about it one after another. They did not understand the meaning behind Shen Binghuai’s words. How could he be so sure that Mu Yunyao was innocent?
Shen Binghuai turned around and instructed the guard by his side, “Go and invite people over.”
The guard hurriedly left to the gate of the residence. Before long, a maid helped a woman in.
Seeing the woman being supported, someone couldn’t help but exclaim out loud, “Su .... Su...”
The Second Madam was stunned for a moment. She pushed through the crowd and ran up to her. “You’er …”
The woman who was being supported lifted her head up. Her face was pale, and her body emitted a weak aura. It was the Fifth Miss of the residence, Su You. “Mother …”
The Eldest Madam was so shocked that her mouth opened, but no words came out. The Old Madam was equally stunned. She turned her head to look at the corpse lying on the ground. Shouldn’t Su You have been pushed into the pond and drowned? Why was she still alive? And she was even brought back to the residence by Shen Binghuai?
The Second Madam was equally puzzled. After crying, she let out a heavy sigh of relief. “You’er .... How did you get out of the residence? What happened?”
Su You shook her head, her face extremely pale. “I don’t know what’s going on either. I was sitting quietly in the east wing when a maid suddenly jumped in from the back window, held a dagger, and stabbed me. At that moment, a figure appeared, injuring that maid’s back, and took me out of the residence to escape. After exiting the residence, I fainted. When I woke up, I was lying at the entrance of Shuntian Manor.”
The Second Madam’s heart palpitated when she heard this. “It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine. Someone, quickly brush the hair off that person to see who she really is.”
The corpse’s face fished out of the pond was stained with mud and covered by messy hair. Everyone thought that her face was vaguely similar to Su You, and coupled with the servants’ crying, everyone thought it was Su You who was dead. No one has been going to take a close look at the woman’s true face.
Shen Binghuai signaled the coroner he brought over to step forward. The coroner helped the woman push back her hair. He carefully pinched her face and took off a thin mask that was as thin as a cicada’s wing: “This woman has changed her appearance, and is deliberately disguising herself as the Fifth Miss, probably to not attract anyone’s attention.”
When that layer was revealed, someone could not help but exclaim, “Mo Yu. It’s Mo Yu. It’s the maid who served the Old Madam before!”
The guests’ expressions were all different. The big play came out one after another. Even the Old Madam was involved. Who was the mastermind behind this?
