Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 397

~ MISS SU YOU IS DEAD ~ 

Soon, there came a burst of noise from outside. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao walked in with a piece of clothing and shoes, greeted the two with a smile. “Ladies, the guests are almost here. Please change into these clothes and shoes.”

Because the two of them held the coming of age ceremony together, a large screen was placed in the room, which just cut the room into two halves. After the two of them changed their clothes, they sat down and waited.

Jin Lan and Jin Qiao stepped out, and the room became too quiet.

“Yunyao, do you think I’ll make a mistake while bowing later?” Su You whispered. The room was empty, making her feel inexplicably nervous.

“Don’t worry, you won’t be.” Mu Yunyao smiled as she consoled her. “You remember the etiquette process better than me before. If I forget it when the time comes, you must remember to remind me.”

As her voice fell, but there was no reply across the screen. Mu Yunyao’s smile faded as she got up and walked towards the screen: “Elder Sister Su You?”

Just as she arrived in front of the screen, a sharp sword pierced through the screen and headed straight to her throat.

Mu Yunyao widened her eyes, tried her best to dodge backward, and her body unsteadily fell to the ground. After that, blood splashed out in all directions from the screen, a dark red color piercing her eyes!

“Liu Liang!”

Mu Yunyao lifted her skirt and quickly went around the screen. There were traces of blood on the ground, but Su You was nowhere to be seen.

When he heard Mu Yunyao’s shout, Liu Liang had already chased after her through the open window. Mu Yunyao walked to the window. She looked at the bloodstains on the windowsill, moves over the stool, and steps out.

The trail of blood went all the way towards the nearby pond. It was open and without any concealment as if it was trying to lure her there.

Mu Yunyao’s brows tightly wrinkled, and the expression on her face became more and more terrified. When she arrived at the edge of the pond, she saw a figure floating in the middle of it. Looking at the appearance of the clothes, it was Su You!

“Su You!” Mu Yunyao’s face turned pale. Stepping on the edge of the pond, she wanted to pull her up, but just as she walked to the side, she saw the edge of the stones loosen up. A bloody dagger landed on the edge of the stones. Before she could look carefully, she heard an anxious shout from behind her, and then a group of servants came around.

“I found iher! The Young Miss Biao is here!”

“Ah, that... Look, there are people in the pond. There’s people in the pond! ”

“Save people quickly! Save people quickly!”

The voices of the servants were loud and clear. Before Mu Yunyao could react, they had already quickly pushed her away, jumped into the pond, and scooped up the person floating in the air, “Fifth Miss, Fifth Miss is dead!”

This place was not far from the front yard, and the servants’ shouts soon alarmed the guests in the front yard. Very quickly, the guests arrived at the edge of the pond.

The Second Madam ran over quickly and scolded the servants, “What are you blabbering about? Are there any rules? Don’t you know that it’s Su You and Yunyao’s coming of age ceremony today? If you guys stirring up a banquet, can you afford it?”

“Second Madam, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to handle the coming of age ceremony. Look ... Look over there ... Fifth Miss, Fifth Miss, she....”

The Second Madam’s gaze followed the crowd’s gaze and fell on the yellow-clothed girl on the ground. Then, she suddenly fell backward.

The maidservant on her side hurriedly supported her, strangling her for a while before Second Madam finally recovered her strength. “The Second Madam, please grieve!”

The guests were all stupefied. They had just taken their seats and were just waiting for the coming of age ceremony to begin when they heard the servants’ shouts. Who would have thought that this joyous event would turn into a sad one…

“You’er, my poor child....” The Second Madam called out and threw herself in front of Su You, who was on the ground, crying and trembling.

The Eldest Madam rushed over with the Old Madam, and tears fell from her eyes upon seeing the situation. “What happened? Haven’t you just been waiting for the ceremony? Why in the blink eyes, You’re gone, just like that?”

The Old Madam’s body swayed, and her face seemed like turned older with a sickly expression. “What’s the matter? She was just a child. How could she be gone? Shouldn’t You’er be waiting in the east wing? Why did she appear here, and why did she fall into the pond?”

The servants answered one after another:

“Reporting to the Old Madam, the servants ran over after hearing the sound of someone falling into water. As soon as we came over, we saw thatFifth Miss had fallen into the pond. Moreover, the Fifth Miss had a wound on her back, and her clothes were dyed red.”

“This servant saw traces of blood on the ground. It went all the way from the back window of the east wing to the edge of the pond.”

“When this servant arrived, Miss Biao was already standing here. It seems like she wanted to go down and save people.”

“…”

“Yunyao?” The Old Madam looked at Mu Yunyao with an anxious and sorrowful expression, “Right, you should have been in the east wing with Su You just now. You should have known best what had happened. Quickly tell me, what exactly happened?”

Mu Yunyao’s face paled. She bit her lips and slightly shook her head, “I’m not too sure either. Elder Sister Su You and I changed into our clothes and our shoes, then waited on both sides of the screen. At one moment, Elder Sister Su You was still talking to me. But in the next moment, there was no sound suddenly. I felt something was wrong, so I wanted to go around the screen and check it out. As soon as I came to the front of the screen, a long sword stabbed over! I was lucky enough to avoid falling to the ground, but then I saw that Elder Sister Su You was no longer there on the other side of the screen. Then, I saw that the window was open and there were bloodstains along the way, so I walked over, and then I saw Sister Su You had fallen into the pond....”

“What are you talking about? Do you mean that someone who took advantage of the coming of age ceremony openly assassinated Su You in the Su Family?” The Old Madam exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief.

The Second Madam stopped crying and raised her head to look at Mu Yunyao darkly. “Su You’s health is not good, So she has been recuperating in residence, and very few people know about her. Who would suddenly try to assassinate her? Why was Suyou assassinated, but you safe and sound? You see something wrong, why didn’t you shout for help but chased it out by yourself. Do you think you can subdue the criminals? Mu Yunyao, don’t you think that your words are full of mistakes?”

“Second Aunt, Elder Sister Su You and I have always been close. You should know that I have no reason to harm her.”

The Eldest Madam coldly spoke up from the side, “Although you said it like that, no one knows if there’s any other hidden story. Yunyao, according to what you said, someone must have deliberately kidnapped Su You and then pushed her into the pond to kill her. Furthermore, Su You had a wound on her back. Her blood was also going all the way from the east wing to the pond. If someone kidnapped her, her body would definitely be covered in some blood stains. We should go to find it immediately to see if there are any traces of blood nearby. Then, we should close the doors and search the entire residence to see if there is anything abnormal with it.”

“Yes Madam!”

Very soon, all the servants who had been searching returned. “Reporting to the Old Madam and the Eldest Madam. Other than here, there’s nothing wrong with the front yard, and someone has already gone to check the back yard.”

The Eldest Madam frowned, “Yunyao, there’s nothing unusual in the front yard, then things will be weird. Then, who harmed You’er?”

The Second Madam hugged Su You’s body. Her tone was as cold as if dripping into ice: “Eldest sister-in-law, isn’t it obvious? It’s Mu Yunyao. It’s Mu Yunyao who killed my You’er. It is her! She is the murderer!”
