Chapter 833: How come there’s none?
The Lu family members were stunned upon hearing the news, Mrs. Xue was gone?
Just like that, how could someone just disappear? They had just parted a few days ago, and she seemed perfectly fine then.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, it seems the Shu family acted swiftly and decisively.
"How could she be gone?" she asked softly.
Meng Yunzheng replied, "After she returned, the Shu family announced that Mrs. Xue had abused you when you were a child. Now that she learned you had become the Village Chief, she feared you would seek revenge. She was always anxious and paranoid, and eventually became deranged. The Shu family, worried she might do something drastic, confined her at home. Unfortunately, she climbed over the courtyard wall attempting to escape. Due to an injury on her hand which hindered her movement, she fell headfirst and died immediately."
Shu Yu, "..."
The walls of the Shu family’s courtyard are actually quite low, less than three meters. Such a bizarre coincidence that she lost her life from such a fall.
What Meng Yunzheng didn’t mention was that the Shu family was clearly scared that Shu Yu might seek revenge, so they even fabricated an excuse that was advantageous to her.
Currently, the villagers of Righteous Dao Village were all abuzz. How terribly had Mrs. Xue treated Monarch Lu Xiang in her childhood, that she would become so frightened upon his rise to power? Ordinary abuse shouldn’t drive someone mad, should it?
