Chapter 979: Unease (4)
Meanwhile, Xiaomei rushed over to find Shen Yilan, shouting about trouble and successfully drawing everyone’s attention.
"What’s the matter?" Shen Jiashi’s brow twitched constantly. Hadn’t the previous plan been canceled? Why was it still being carried out?
"Earlier Miss Yang wanted to see the plum blossoms in the Glazed House, so I took her there. Then she said she was tired and didn’t want me to follow her, so I went to the latrine. Who knew that when I returned, I would hear strange noises inside? Upon checking, it was... it was Miss Yang... I..."
The expressions on everyone’s faces started to vary drastically.
A gleam of excitement shot through Shen Yilan’s eyes, but her words were different, "How could this be?" Then, turning to Shen Jiashi, "Mother, we must go check quickly. Such a thing could affect Miss Yang’s reputation..." Had there not been so many people around, she would have liked to run there immediately.
"Xinxin?" Wei Yao frowned, "How is it possible? I don’t believe it, hurry and take me there..." She said as she ran out.
"I’ll come with you." Peng Mingzi also quickly dropped her brush and followed.
But Shen Jiashi felt an inexplicable unease in her heart. However, since things had come this far, she could only pray for the plan to succeed; otherwise...
A group of people made their way hurriedly toward the back.
They soon arrived at the bamboo house, but Shen Jiashi didn’t let everyone go in. Instead, she sent her trusted maid to check, and she came back reporting that she hadn’t seen anything.
