Many people were panicking because of the sudden discovery of the body. No one dared to go up and inspect it.

Hong Xiu pulled Feng Ranchen back a few steps and said, "Second Young Madame, Second Young Madame, let's go back quickly. We don't have anything to do with this."

Hong Xiu pulled Feng Ranchen along and left, afraid that she would stay where she was.

If she had known that such a thing would happen, she definitely wouldn't have brought Second Young Madame out today.

At first, Feng Ranchen didn't react. She was dragged by Hong Xiu for a few steps, but then she stopped and shook her hand away from Feng Ranchen's hand.

"Go and invite the young master." Feng Ranchen pointed to a girl beside her to tell Zhao Yuqing about this.

After all, Zhao Yuqing had to hurry since the corpse was found in Zhao Mansion and it was a matter of great importance.

"Second Young Madame, you …" Hong Xiu stomped her feet in anxiety. Why would Second Young Madame want to get involved in this? What if someone were to frame her?

Feng Ranchen knew that Hong Xiu was afraid that she would be wronged, but since she had witnessed it with her own eyes, she had to deal with it. Furthermore, if she were to leave, her reputation in the mansion would not be good.

Feng Ranchen saw a few bold servants take a stick and was about to enter, but her sharp eyes stopped them.

"Don't go over there. Protect the scene and wait for Eldest Young Master."

"Ah, yes." Upon hearing Feng Ranchen's words, the group of people hurriedly stopped in their tracks.

The other servants also looked at Feng Ranchen with incredulous eyes. They originally thought that Second Young Madame was a pampered rich family's young miss and would definitely be scared upon seeing this kind of thing. She might go crazy just like before, but what made them tongue-tied was that not only was Second Young Madame not scared crazy, she even seemed calm and composed.

Actually, Feng Ranchen was also very nervous. Her hands that were hanging inside her sleeves had already been clenched into fists.

"What happened?" Zhao Yuqing brought his attendant and strode over. When he saw the crowd surrounding them, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Reporting, young master, there is a corpse here." A tall and sturdy man standing at the very front hurriedly replied.

At this moment, Zhao Yuqing's face darkened even more. He quickly walked to the front and stared at the corner of a pile of weeds. "Who found it first?"

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was pushed out by the crowd. "That's him."

The servant was already trembling in fear. When Zhao Yuqing looked at him, both of his legs went limp and he fell to his knees with a thump.

"Eldest Young Master, please do your best. This has nothing to do with me or me. I'm just … just …" The servant spoke incoherently, unable to explain himself clearly.

"I only ask you, when did you discover him? "Tell me in detail." Zhao Yuqing interrupted the servant loudly.

"Ah, yes, yes." The servant who was scolded by Zhao Yuqing quickly regained his senses. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wiped his face with his hand, and stuttered as he spoke.

"It was Zhao San's turn to clean the backyard this morning, but I couldn't find his shadow. I thought he went somewhere to sleep, but the housekeeper would come to check this morning. I had no choice but to take Zhao San's place."

"Don't talk nonsense." attendant, who was standing next to Zhao Yuqing, noticed the impatience on his master's face and quickly warned him.

"Oh, oh. When I was cleaning here, I accidentally dropped a copper coin from my body into the pile of grass. I was greedy for money, so I had to bite the bullet to search for it, but …" That servant's face showed a little fear, "Who would have thought that not only did I not find the copper coin, but I also found a white bone. The small one, the small one is almost scared to death. Young Master, please look into it clearly, this has nothing to do with me. "Young Master, please look carefully." The servant kowtowed repeatedly, afraid that he would be angered.

"Let him go." After hearing the servant's answer, Zhao Yuqing turned around and stared at the corner.

That servant was so focused on kowtowing that he didn't even hear Zhao Yuqing's words. attendant, who was beside him, gave him a funny kick, "Did you hear that? Eldest Young Master told you to get off. Get off now."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you young master, thank you young master." The servant kowtowed to Zhao Yuqing a few more times. Then, with a face full of joy, he got up and ran back to the crowd, as if he was afraid that Zhao Yuqing would go back on his word.

"Mistress, what do we do now?" A man with a shrewd expression walked up to Zhao Yuqing and asked.

"Dismissed those unrelated people and let them keep their mouths shut." Zhao Yuqing looked at the crowd of servants and said unhappily.

"Yes." The housekeeper quickly agreed. Just as he was about to turn around, he immediately turned around and glanced in Feng Ranchen's direction. With some hesitation, he asked, "What about Second Young Madame?"

Zhao Yuqing had actually noticed Feng Ranchen when he first arrived, but he had subconsciously ignored her. Now that he heard the butler's question, a fire rose in his heart.

If she didn't stay in the house and did everything she could to cause trouble, this woman really wouldn't know what was good for her.

Zhao Yuqing said stiffly, "Ignore her. Since she wants to see it, then let her."

"Eh, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Madame is a woman after all …" The steward couldn't bear to see such a bloody thing in front of Second Young Madame's eyes.

Zhao Yuqing's voice became even colder, "What, is my words useless anymore?" Even a lowly housekeeper dared to question his words. He was tired of living.

"This little one has crossed the line. Please punish me, Eldest Young Master." The butler knew that he said the wrong thing and immediately apologized to Zhao Yuqing.

After the crowd dispersed, only Zhao Yuqing and the few people beside him remained. The ones standing a little further away were Feng Ranchen and Hong Xiu. The butler had already left the room and was taking the blame himself.

"All of you, go and bring the corpses out." Seeing that there were no more people around, Zhao Yuqing ordered his men to bring the body out.

Seeing that Zhao Yuqing didn't avoid her, Feng Ranchen could only pretend to be calm and watch from a distance. When Feng Ranchen saw the two Wu steelers carrying one person out, she couldn't help but close her eyes. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and gently covered her nose.

No matter how calm she appeared on the surface, she was still somewhat conflicted with these things.

Perhaps it was because she was not shielded by the grass, but Feng Ranchen could still smell the rotten stench from the corpse even though she was a distance away. She couldn't help but vomit and glance in that direction.
