Days passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, another half year had gone by.
Mu Qinglian was contemplating how to deal with Lianlian, when a maid came to report: "Madam, Lianlian is dead."
Mu Qinglian's face changed dramatically: "How did she die?" Shao Wen cherished Lianlian like a precious treasure, and the novelty of it hadn't even worn off yet. Now that she's dead, how could Shao Wen be at ease?
Mu Qinglian ordered a thorough investigation, and it was discovered that the person who killed Lianlian was Lady Mei, a concubine who had borne two sons for Ning Shaowen. The reason Lady Mei wanted Lianlian dead was simple; the Second Master used to favor her alone, but ever since Lianlian entered the mansion, Lianlian hadn't visited her room anymore.
Unfortunately, Ning Shaowen did not accept the result Mu Qinglian found, stubbornly believing that the mastermind was Lady Min, and that the poisoning Maternal Aunt Mei must have been instructed by Lady Min, acting as an accomplice.
