Nangong Mingchuan lifted his gaze and glanced at his wife.
After hesitating for several seconds, he spoke with a heavy voice, "Today, when Dad and I went back, something happened at home."
"What happened?" she asked blankly.
"Axiu, she drowned this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuyan’s face turned deathly pale.
The housemaid she liked the most was Axiu.
Dead? How could she suddenly drown?
"What happened? What exactly occurred?"
Seeing his wife’s obviously agitated tone, Nangong Mingchuan soothed her, "Shh, don’t wake Xixi."
Tang Yuyan turned her head, glanced at her son who was sleeping soundly, and had to calm her emotions before looking at her husband calmly, "What exactly happened?"
Nangong Mingchuan sighed, "It’s because she dropped Feifei’s expensive necklace into the water, and probably fearing Feifei’s punishment, she immediately jumped into the swimming pool. After that, the necklace was found, but it seems the water was too cold and she drowned before she could get out."
Listening to her husband’s words, Tang Yuyan’s face grew even whiter.
"Wasn’t anyone there to save her?"
"They did try to save her. Feifei even performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and called emergency services right away, but it was still too late."
Tang Yuyan hung her head, to say she wasn’t sad would be a lie.
Axiu, that child, was polite and sensible. Just the other day when she was at home, she had spoken to her, and now she had suddenly passed away, catching everyone off guard.
he consoled his wife.
But how could she not be sad? Tang Yuyan was after all a person of deep feelings.
"I’ll go back and have a look, you take care of Xixi."
With that, she stood up, picked up her bag and coat.
"Shall I take you back?"
Knowing that persuading her not to go back was impossible, Nangong Mingchuan didn’t try to stop her, but he was somewhat worried about her going alone.
"No need, just stay here and take care of Xixi."
With those words, she turned and left the ward.
The maid’s funeral was very simple, and being an orphan with no family, Nangong He had no choice but to send her body to the funeral parlor for cremation and burial.
By the time Tang Yuyan got back to Nangong Villa, she didn’t even get to see Axiu’s last face, and had to return to the hospital in the end.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, a series of footsteps echoed from the staircase.
Instinctively, she paused and turned her head, only to see Nangong Feifei descending from the second floor.
Looking at Nangong Feifei, Tang Yuyan’s eyes were colder than before.
Although it wasn’t Nangong Feifei who had killed Axiu, Axiu had died because of her.
Turning away, she didn’t look at Nangong Feifei again. Instead, she coldly turned and walked towards the main entrance.
However, Nangong Feifei, standing on the stairs, became a bit flustered and distracted the moment she saw her.
She hadn’t come back in days, and now that Axiu was dead, she had returned. Could it be that she had noticed something?
It shouldn’t be possible. Not to mention that the other maids haven’t suspected anything, even grandfather and father didn’t suspect a thing. She had been in the hospital all this time, what could she have noticed?
Moreover, she had just received a call, and that private detective had already been taken care of by her people, so no one else would know about Gu Qiangwei’s heritage!
That’s right, she needed to destroy those documents quickly!
Thinking this, she immediately turned and went back to her own room.
When Tang Yuyan returned to the hospital, the sky had completely darkened.
After returning to the ward, she felt somewhat despondent.
Just as she sat down, her son, Nangong Xi, woke up.
