After receiving the order, Lin Zhi hurried back to the Shen family.
At this moment, the mourning hall had just finished setting up when there were cries in the Shen family.
People who came to pay their respects gradually arrived. There were people and ghosts. If it was not for the funeral, it would have been quite lively.
Lin Zhi found Mdm Cao in the crowd and followed her.
It was only at night, after dinner, that Mdm Cao had the time to return to her room temporarily.
Seeing her go upstairs, Eldest Old Master Shen thought of the safe that the master had instructed and followed her.
When he entered, he saw his wife flipping through a diary. There was a string of prayer beads and a bunch of hair beside her.
“What are these?” Eldest Old Master Shen looked at them suspiciously.
“I found these in Sister-in-law’s safe.”
Mdm Cao asked suspiciously, “What day is June 3?”
She looked at Mdm Shen’s diary. She would take notes almost every year on June 3.
“June 3?” Eldest Old Master Shen frowned. “Isn’t that the day the Leng family’s child died?”
“The Leng family’s child?” Mdm Cao frowned. “Which Leng family?”
Mdm Cao had been married to the Shen family for more than twenty years, but she had never heard of the Leng family.
Eldest Old Master Shen said in a low voice, “It’s a family that lived beside our Shen family when we were in City H previously.”
“So it’s from City H!”
Ever since Mdm Cao married over, she had practically stayed in the capital and rarely went to City H. She was also not familiar with the neighbors there.
“But why did Sister-in-law record her mood on this day every year?” Mdm Cao was very puzzled.
“The child from the Leng family was only six years old when he died. I didn’t know what happened. I only heard later that the child started vomiting blood after school. They only knew after bringing him to the hospital that he was bleeding from his heart.”
Lin Zhi conveyed their conversation to Lu Sheng.
When Lu Sheng heard that, she specially asked Chu Sihan about the Leng family’s child.
She remembered that the Shen family was the Chu family’s neighbor, while the Shen family’s neighbor was the Leng family. It seemed like Chu Sihan would more or less know some information.
Chu Sihan frowned slightly. “The Leng family used to live next door to the Shen family, but they moved three years after the child died. Now, that house has been rented to someone else.”
“What happened back then?” Lu Sheng was very curious.
Chu Sihan pondered and said, “That child died in 2012. It has been nine years since then. I don’t remember much either. I only vaguely remembered that his heart was bleeding. As to why, I’m not sure.”
Chu Sihan asked suspiciously, “Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “I suspect that the child’s death back then should be related to Mdm Shen.”
“What do you mean?” Chu Sihan was curious.
Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “Although I haven’t met Mdm Shen many times, she’s definitely not the kind of person to commit suicide over some things. The only reason is that she must have been bewitched by something.”
Chu Sihan pondered and said, “So, you’re suspecting that it was this child who bewitched Mdm Shen?”
Lu Sheng nodded. “I only suspected it after hearing the information from Lin Zhi.”
“What information?”
Chu Sihan knew that Lu Sheng had sent Lin Zhi to follow Liu Daxian.
“He said that Liu Daxian said that the truth was in Mdm Shen’s safe and asked Eldest Mdm Shen to get it. I’m letting Lin Zhi follow Eldest Mdm Shen for now. He heard from Eldest Mdm Shen that Mdm Shen would record her mood in her diary on June 3 every year. She even asked Eldest Old Master Shen what day June 3 was.. Eldest Old Master Shen said that it was the day the Leng family’s child died.”
