Xia Zimu asked, "Who?"

"The former housekeeper of the Lu family." Yu Fanghua recounted the past in a flat voice, "Steward Wu has worked in the Lu family for decades, and Shi Yan has always been in charge of the basic necessities of life after he came to the Lu family when he was young.

"Butler Wu has always hit or scolded Shi Yan, often insulting his background.

"We didn't find out about it at first, but when we found out later, it was too late."

"One month after Shi Yan's return, Butler Wu died in the flower garden to the south of the manor.

"His body was broken into pieces by carts to feed rosebushes.

"If the gardener hadn't seen it when he was digging the soil, no one would have known about it.

"That's when we learned from other servants what Butler Wu did to him.

"Everyone said that he killed Butler Wu just for the sake of revenge."

"Since then, all members of the Lu family have kept him at a respectful distance, for fear that they will become his next murder target."

Xia Zimu digested the message he just received, "You said Shi Yan killed Butler Wu, do you have any evidence?"

Yu Fanghua: "There is no evidence, but he is the only one who has such a big enmity with Butler Wu. And on the day of Butler Wu's accident, no one saw him."

Xia Zimu laughed, "So, you have no evidence, just put the murder charge on Shi Yan's head for no reason, and are afraid of him because of this trumped-up charge?"

Yu Fanghua disagreed with her words, "Where is it unfounded? The evidence at the time clearly pointed to him.

"And he kept suppressing the Lu family at that time, trying to put the Lu family to death. Jiannan is his biological father. Isn't he cruel to the Lu family?"

"Auntie," Xia Zimu tidied up his clothes, his tone unhurried, "If Shi Yan really wanted to target the Lu family, you wouldn't be able to live in such a luxurious manor and live a life of spending money like water.

"He's been helping the Lu family all these years. It's a bit wolf-hearted for you to wrong him like this."

Yu Fanghua also felt that the logic did not make sense.

If Lu Jinghao really wanted to put the Lu family to death, it would be impossible for the Lu family to exist today.

But if he didn't do those things before, who could it be?

"The murder must have been done by him. And he was indeed suppressing the Lu family's business at the beginning.

"As for why he started to help the Lu family later, maybe it was because he found out that he had lost his way, and his conscience discovered..."

Yu Fanghua's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously she didn't have the confidence.

Xia Zimu knew from her tone that she was shaken.

However, both of them were talking without proof, and Xia Zimu didn't plan to say anything more.

Anyway, she knew what kind of person Lu Jinghao was.

Butler Wu's business was definitely not his doing.

If Lu Jinghao really wanted to kill someone, he would never bury the body in a place where it is easy to be found like a flower garden.

This kind of clumsy method is clearly intended to be discovered by others, and then put the blame on Lu Jinghao.

As for who that person was, she might have the answer when she asked Lu Jinghao later.

The two of them didn't believe each other, so they didn't talk anymore, and they kept silent on the way to the engagement ceremony.

Bai Yiyi and Xia Zimu stayed in the beauty salon all afternoon.

There is a newly opened cake shop downstairs in the beauty salon, and the online reviews are very good. Bai Yiyi plans to bring some back for her parents to try, so she drags Xia Zimu into the shop.

Xia Zimu only bought a small cake, after paying the bill, she waited for Bai Yiyi at the counter.

At the door, Mo Ke walked in with Tang Susu on his arm.

Mo Ke is Gu Huaixi's cousin, she used to go to Gu's house to look for Mrs. Gu, and she and Xia Zimu are old acquaintances.

It's just that the two don't have a good impression of each other.

Mo Ke held Tang Susu's arm, like a good sister, and didn't notice that Xia Zimu was also in the store.

These two people were originally at odds, but they got together today because they both went to visit Yan Man in a nearby hospital. Yan Man said she wanted to eat cakes, so they came and bought them together.

Tang Susu told Mo Ke about Xia Zimu being with a strange man yesterday, and Mo Ke scolded: "Xia Zimu is really not a good woman, she went to hook up with wild men before she got divorced, she deserves to be kicked by my brother! An educated woman like Sister Man is the best match for my brother."

After she finished speaking, she saw Xia Zimu standing by the counter.

In the past, she was used to bullying Xia Zimu in the Gu family, no matter what tricks she tried, as long as Gu Huaixi was brought out, Xia Zimu would not dare to speak back, so in her eyes, Xia Zimu was just a submissive doormat.

Now when she was heard putting on small shoes for Xia Zimu, instead of feeling embarrassed, she raised her chin and held her head high.

"Hey, isn't this the woman who was kicked out of the house by my brother? I said that there is a foul smell from so far away, so it's you, a vixen, who is here!"

Xia Zimu smiled calmly, "Miss Mo, I haven't seen you for a while, but you still like spraying shit so much."

Mo Ke has always been impatient, and was irritated by her words, pointed at Xia Zimu and said, "You, you, you, vulgar!"

Bai Yiyi came over with the cake, protected Xia Zimu and said, "Miss Mo opens her mouth and keeps her mouth shut, I don't know who is more vulgar!"

"you!"

"What me? Want to fight?"

Tang Susu pulled Mo Ke, "Forget it, there are many people here, so stop making noise."

Mo Ke looked around, and the other customers were indeed watching the show.

Mo Ke gritted his teeth, stared at Xia Zimu desperately, and then saw the necklace on Xia Zimu's neck.

"Sister Susu, is her necklace exactly the same as the necklace on your neck?"

Tang Susu heard the words, and then noticed the necklace on Xia Zimu's neck, "It seems to be real..."

This piece of hers was given by a company boss she met recently, saying that it was the masterpiece of the famous designer Echo in country y, unique in the world, and worth more than 300 million.

That boss is the vice president of a listed company with a net worth of hundreds of millions, so he shouldn't fool her with a fake necklace.

But what happened to Xia Zimu's necklace?

The Xia family is the richest man in Yu City, and Xia Zimu, as the daughter of the Xia family, is even less likely to wear a fake...

unless……

Unless that necklace was a copycat gift from the poor man who followed Xia Zimu yesterday.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help jumping for joy.

The daughter of the Xia family is actually wearing counterfeit goods. If the news gets out, will it make people laugh?

Yesterday Xia Zimu made up unnecessary laws to scare her. If she can make Xia Zimu lose face, it can be regarded as a sigh of relief for what happened yesterday.

She asked, "Xia Zimu, was that necklace you were wearing given by the man who was with you yesterday?"
