Ye Muyu took it and looked at it. It was indeed stamped with Mrs. Du’s private seal.

“I’ll have to trouble Old Madam Sun to make a trip.” Ye Muyu thanked her gently.

Old Madam Sun naturally did not dare to reject her. Seeing that Ye Muyu was easy to get along with, she sat down to have some tea and casually chatted.

“You might not know, but there was a murder in the village yesterday. Coincidentally, my child almost had an accident in school and was frightened,” Ye Muyu mentioned this.

Old Madam Sun was shocked and said another piece of shocking news, “Mrs. Chu, you still don’t know, right? Not only that, the Wang family in the county is also in trouble.”

‘What?” Ye Muyu quickly asked.

Old Madam Sun lowered her voice and said, “It’s the Third Young Master of the Wang family. He was killed by his concubine yesterday afternoon. The concubine escaped and was not caught.”

Madam Hu was carrying some pastries in when she heard this.

“Old Madam Sun, come and have some pastries. It’s still early, so there’s no hurry.” With Ye Muyu’s permission, Madam Hu sat down beside him.

Ye Muyu found it strange. Was the incident with the Wang family’s Third Young Master an accident?

She had never heard that Chu Heng was going to kill someone.

“Was this an accident? Who is that concubine?”

“This servant is aware of this problem. Now that the announcement has been made, the city gates were closed yesterday and they searched for an entire night, but they still couldn’t find her. They only opened the city gates in the morning, otherwise, this servant wouldn’t have been able to come out. The concubine that ran away seemed to be called Tang Rou.”

“Tang Rou?” Ye Muyu could not help but exclaim.

She frowned and thought carefully, wanting to know what was the connection between this matter.

“Do you know this person?” Old Madam Sun saw her reaction and more or less guessed. “This girl is bold, but she is also capable. Even Landlord Wang and the yamen couldn’t catch her. Maybe she has already left the county. Where can she escape to? Moreover, she’s a murderer.”

“This person is from our village, but she left a while ago. The victim of the murder case in our village is Tang Rou’s younger brother.” Ye Muyu had to admit that it was too coincidental. How could something happen to the two of them one after another?

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that these two things were related. However, she would only know the exact situation when Han Zhuang brought back the news.

“Heh, what a coincidence! I heard in the county yesterday that the Wang family’s Third Young Master wanted to take Tang Rou as his concubine, so he ordered people to kill Tang Bao. I wonder if that’s true?”

Madam Hu glanced at Ye Mu Yu, and after getting a hint, she sighed and replied to Old Madam Sun, “Everyone in the village knows about this. It was

Mrs. Tang, Tang Rou’s mother, who wanted to arrange a marriage for her, but Tang Rou didn’t agree. She left after that, and I heard that she stole the family’s silver and household register. As for whether she left because she didn’t want to marry the Wang family’s Third Young Master as a concubine, we don’t know.”

‘What’s there to doubt? It’s obvious that she ran away because she didn’t want to be a concubine. I was wondering why there were such rumors about Tang Bao’s death.”

“I think it might be the Wang family’s Third Young Master who ordered his servants to kill Tang Bao to take revenge on Tang Rou.” Old Madam Sun’s bold words startled Madam Hu.

“Sister Sun, there’s no conclusion on this matter. Don’t spout nonsense,” Madam Hu quickly reminded her.

“Don’t worry, this matter has spread all over the county. It’s fine if we talk about it privately. Besides, now that the Third Young Master of the Wang family is dead, the case is almost closed..”
