Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 243: Mutual Divorce

It was at this time that He Sanlang stood up. "Grandmother, leave it to me to investigate this matter."

Matriarch He looked at her youngest, most accomplished grandson first before glancing at the frowning He Changqi. She brooded over it for a moment before saying, "This concerns the bloodline of our He Family, so I'll let the two of you handle it."

The brothers agreed in unison.

Thus, the morning interrogation was concluded.

Matriarch He ordered everyone to return to their respective courtyards.

Off in the side room next to the parlour of Qingxi Hall, Muxiang was listening to a maidservant's report. There was a stormy expression on her pretty face. After the maidservant left, she took up the teapot on the small table beside her and smashed it on the ground.

The freshly brewed hot tea scattered all over the patterned carpet, soaking a large portion of it.

Her hands tightened into fists, reflecting the fury in her heart. She never would have thought that her meticulously planned trap would be solved so easily by Chu Lian.

Who exactly was that woman occupying her original body?!

Madam Zou returned to her own courtyard in a state of confused panic.

Senior Servant Qiao had a cup of tea ready for her master, but Madam Zou pushed it away.

Senior Servant Qiao had no choice but to put the sencha aside.

She attempted to comfort Madam Zou by saying, "Eldest Young Madam, you must not panic at this time. Please don't worry. The investigation hasn't come upon any leads that would point to us and I've already taken care of that maidservant. Even if Eldest Young Master and Third Young Master suspect you, as long as you deny it, what can they do to you since they won't be able to find any evidence?"

The panic that had flooded Madam Zou's mind completely dissipated when she heard Senior Servant Qiao's words.

She grabbed onto Senior Servant Qiao's arm. Her voice became much calmer as she said, "Yes, momo, you're right. Even if they start investigating us, they won't be able to do anything as long as we deny it!"

Senior Servant Qiao nodded. "That's right. Eldest Young Madam, we can't panic and make a mistake at such a crucial time."

Right after they finished talking, there was a burst of commotion from the outer room.

Madam Zou twitched as her body tensed from a sudden rush of fear. She turned her head and looked at Senior Servant Qiao. Senior Servant Qiao frowned and patted Madam Zou's hand to placate her. "Eldest Young Madam, please take a rest first. This old servant will go out to see what happened. Those brats are becoming more and more undisciplined."

Madam Zou nodded her head wearily and leaned back on the soft lounge to rest.

Senior Servant Qiao lifted the curtains, only to see Jinshui kneeling in the middle of the room.

It was apparent that Jinshui had already been punished. There were bloodstains on both her hands and arms and she was crying as she laid sprawled on the floor.

Senior Servant Qiao's heart thumped in alarm.

In a stiff motion, she raised her head to look towards the seats at the head of the room, where she was greeted with the sight of He Changqi and He Changdi. They were both looking down at her with ice-cold eyes.

The two brothers who normally looked nothing alike now carried the same icy glint within their eyes.

"Senior Servant Qiao, bring Eldest Young Madam out here!" Despite the pleasant, husky tones of He Changdi's voice, his words sounded like a death knell.
