Chapter 4 Cause of Death

"My husband, you are here." Su Wanmiao raised her eyes and saw him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although the two did not have a substantial husband-and-wife life, at least to outsiders, the relationship between the two parties was still very harmonious, otherwise the servants would not respect him so much. In any case, since he is already the son-in-law of the Su family, he should have this status.

But he could feel that Su Wanmiao's smile at him was more like a polite person, like a habitual mask, which would not embarrass or dissatisfaction, but would not give people the opportunity to get close to him.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, madam."

Du Bai nodded and replied politely.

It sounds a bit unfamiliar with couples, but it is indeed a normal manifestation of the relationship between the two.

"I have heard Grandma Qian tell you about the previous incident." Su Wan Miaoxian pressed her temples gently, and she knew that there were a lot of troubles outside that caused her headaches, but when she got home, such a disaster happened again, which really made her feel uneasy.

"This is because she is not strict in discipline against the girls under her usual behavior, which makes them feel heresy..."

But she didn't say what this heresy was. Du Bai wanted to ask, but heard Grandma Qian on the side suddenly fall to the ground, crying with tears and snot, "Miss, it was the old lady who didn't take care of these dead girls, so that Li'er listened to the lies outside..."

"Oh, people outside..." Du Bai thought about it, but didn't say it.

He also learned in the afternoon that there were three wealthy businessmen in Yuanyang City, and the Su family was just one of them. Although they were harmonious on the surface, they were unknown what they secretly, but they would not be harmonious even when they exchange interests.

It is said that the death of the Su family master a few years ago may have been mixed with some unknown secrets.

"This is to make the Su family lose their queen!" Du Bai's heart was shattered.

"I understand!" Su Wanmiao seemed a little angry and raised her voice a little, but then she took a slow breath as if she tried to calm herself down. She looked at him and comforted her, "Don't worry, my husband, you used to change all the two maids, whether you knew or not. I sent my trusted girl to serve you for a while. If there is anything wrong, you can tell me directly."

"As for this matter, I will definitely seek justice."

Du Bai should go down.

He has no better solution now, so he can only be careful not to talk to the predecessor like his predecessor. As for what the other party said to seek justice... If there is really a way, then no one of the traitors who killed and robbed the master of the Su family back then will be arrested and will not be left alone.

"That Li'er..."

Su Wanmiao said carefully, and wanted to consider a way to relieve Du Bai's anger and not get caught in the lawsuit. Suddenly, a maid hurried over and whispered in her ear, but saw Su Wanmiao's expression slightly change.

"Dead?!"

"How did you die?"

Li'er, who has been locked in the woodshed after surrendering, has died.

And it seems that it is not the so-called suicide of fear of sin, but a more strange way of death.

She strangled herself to death.

It is said that when someone was lifted out of the woodshed at night, Li'er's face turned purple and her eyes were still staring tightly in front of her and could not close her. Her palms tied her neck tightly like iron pliers, and she would never let go even if she died.

Several guys who were working on the side were scared, and then some strange rumors began to spread in the mansion, saying that the dead man's fireworks would be heard in the middle of the night. If anyone didn't believe in evil and looked around, he would accidentally see a transparent ghost in the wall.

The two strong servants were so scared that they were bedridden.

Of course, Du Bai learned about these things from the murmurs of several maids after two days.

During this period, a constable from the government took a look, and was served with delicious food and drink, then took the reward and left. Su Wanmiao didn't care about these rumors, but just ordered them to keep an order and let all the mothers take good care of their girls. If anyone dared to talk nonsense and disturb the peace of the family, the family would be severely punished.

Du Bai still maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards these things.

He, who has another body of the Ghost King, certainly knew that there were ghosts in this world. But now he was just a mortal, and he had no way of knowing whether the haunted incident in the Su Mansion was really ghosts or someone was secretly causing trouble.

Anyway, he learned that at noon on the fourth day, the woodshed finally lit the fire with Su Wanmiao's personal administration.

Maybe it was because even a few elderly people who had worked at home for decades saw some unlucky things, which forced her to pay attention to them.

The fire was quite big, and all the firewood and straw stored inside were burned out, and thick smoke rolled. Even Du Bai, who was not close to him, could see the heavy smoke from the window of his room.

"Cough cough..." Du Bai coughed twice while smelling the smell of smoke. The little maid next to him quickly stepped forward and closed the window.

"Son-in-law, be careful. Even cigarettes are unlucky in this house that has been terrified." The little girl is not old and has superstitious ideas one by one, and she said seriously.

She was the personal maid sent by Su Wanmiao to take care of his daily life, named Ying'er. At the age of 14, she also had a round baby face. She was not fat, or she was round and cute, with big eyes, watery and innocent.

I heard that she was sold into the mansion by her father to raise her younger brother at the age of six. She was lucky enough to grow up with the eldest lady, so she didn't suffer much. She was a very cute little girl.

As for whether the cigarette is Qili, he is not very clear. Before the cigarette is gone, his throat will be extremely uncomfortable.

The so-called clues before were indeed gone. Su Wanmiao went out early and came back late every day, and she didn't even have the effort to say more words, so he didn't ask anything more.

However, the little girl Ying'er has been with him for the past two days and has helped him trim his clothes. She is quite good at female red embroidery. When she gets it, she will also help him trim a beautiful new set of clothes, saying that it was the lady's order.

The reason is that after a while, Wan Miao became empty, she had to go to the old house to visit Mr. Su.

The old house of the Su family is in a remote place called Yongxu Village outside the city. The Su family made its fortune decades ago and moved to Yuanyang City for convenient transportation. In recent years, Mr. Su has suffered several major blows in succession, especially after his only son died, he was reluctant to be happy. He brought some servants and the second lady who had not yet met back to the old house to spend his rest. Most of the business was handed over to Su Wanmiao and several trusted shopkeepers trained by his subordinates.

A few days ago, news came from the old house that Mr. Su had suffered a serious illness. Although he had recovered a lot after taking the medicine, Su Wanmiao was still worried and wanted to deal with the matters in his hands quickly to visit him.
