NOVPUBShen Roujia got straight to the point. “Nanny, do you remember if anything strange happened around my mother after my father passed away?”
Nanny Nong hesitated briefly before answering, “We were all living in the villa back then, and nothing particularly strange happened...”
Shen Roujia frowned.
After a moment of thought, Nanny Nong continued, “If there was anything unusual, it might have been the large number of plants and flowers that the main branch sent over after the master passed away.”
“They said they were to lift the spirits. I remember those plants well—they were odd, never withering even in winter, and easy to care for, with little bell-like flowers hanging in clusters.”
Shen Roujia’s heart skipped a beat. “Little orchids...?”
But little orchids alone could only cause hallucinations; they wouldn’t lead to such severe health deterioration.
Nanny Nong paused, “Could it be that the mistress was poisoned by those things?”
Shen Roujia shook her head uncertainly. “Not necessarily; there must be something else.”
Suddenly, something occurred to Shen Roujia, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Is anyone living in that villa now?”
Nanny Nong shook her head repeatedly, “That villa has been abandoned. The Shen family didn’t want to treat the master and mistress as their own family members. They even thought the place had bad feng shui and never cared for it again.”
Hearing this, Shen Roujia felt somewhat reassured. Investigating the villa might be easier since it had been abandoned.
Since it was deserted, any investigation there wouldn’t alert the Shen family. Any signs of disturbance could reveal something crucial.
Shen Roujia smiled knowingly and looked at Tu Lie. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
