Chapter 600: Rejecting the Invitation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I wonder when we’ll catch Tang Rou.”
Madam Hu was a bit curious and asked, “Did Tang Rou really kill the Wang
Family’s Third Young Master? Is she so bold? She’ll have to pay with her life. Does she not want to live?”
Ye Muyu was also confused about this. In her opinion, Tang Rou wanted to live a good life, and as an official’s wife, she was also very cruel to others. Such a person would not harm herself just to kill someone.
She had a feeling that there was something hidden behind it.
“I don’t know. The notice from the county government said that the suspect had escaped. As for whether she’s the murderer, we’ll only know after they catch her and interrogate her.”
“However, I heard that Landlord Wang is furious. With his power, she’ll be buried with Third Young Master Wang if she comes back. So, it doesn’t matter if she comes back or not. If she wants to go far away, she’ll need her household register. At that time, she’ll still be caught.” Old Madam Sun did not kind of behavior of running away from home. She felt that this woman did not know the rules and was ruthless. How could a girl from a normal family dare to do such a treasonous thing?
Moreover, she was involved in a murder case.
“Madam, this servant sees that it’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you.” Old Madam Sun also stood up.
Ye Muyu could only reply, “Then I’ll have to trouble Old Madam Sun to go back and explain to Mrs. Du. Recently, the family has been implicated in this matter.
When the child is better, we will definitely visit.”
“These are gifts for Mrs. Du. I’ll have to trouble you to bring them back.”
After sending Old Madam Sun out, Madam Hu took out a jar of honey grapefruit tea, a jar of bean paste, a jar of meat sauce, and some crispy cakes that she had made herself. There was also a letter in the letter, which contained some home-cooked dishes that Du Heng liked to eat.
They were all ordinary items. Ye Muyu thought, ‘It’s better to give something sincere than to give it to someone expensive. Besides, outsiders more or less know my family’s situation. If I spend so much effort to give expensive items, what will people think of me? Wouldn’t they think that I have other sources of income?’
No matter what, the current situation did not allow her to be high-profile.
Old Madam Sun naturally accepted it happily. She took the food away and went back to the county.
After sending her away, Ye Muyu and Madam Hu returned to the central room.
“Madam, did Tang Rou really kill someone?” Madam Hu still did not dare to believe it.
Ye Muyu lightly shook her head. “I don’t know. I still have to wait. Logically saying, I think that Tang Rou won’t be able to get far.”
Of course, this was only normal. Ye Muyu felt that since Tang Rou had been able to live so comfortably in the county after leaving the Tang family and even had a relationship with the Wang family, it meant that she was not simple.
There was something even stranger. According to Old Madam Sun, Tang Rou was the concubine of the Third Young Master Wang. Why would she kill Third Young Master Wang?
She should please him, right?
Unless there was a conflict of interest.
However, it was hard for her to guess the exact situation. Ye Muyu let out a sigh of relief and rubbed her chest, feeling a little uneasy.
“Madam, this servant thought that you were going to accept Mrs. Du’s invitation.”
“No, I keep feeling uneasy. If I go out now, I’ll give the Wang family a chance to hurt me.”
“Ask Zhang Shu to call Ziluo back.” Ye Muyu thought for a moment and realized that the child was the only one outside..
