Chapter 317: Accidentally Knowing

 Chapter 317: Accidentally Knowing

Shu Yu pursed her lips and asked, "What are the conditions, sir?" Xiang Weinan looked at her for a moment, and then lightly tapped the desktop with his fingers, seemingly contemplating how to proceed. After a while, he said, "I heard that you didn't have a good time in the Shu family? The Shu family wanted to kill you, right?" Shu Yu nodded, "Yes." She wasn't surprised at all that Xiang Weinan knew about her original identity and background. She didn't doubt that it was Meng Yunzheng who told him. Since Xiang Weinan was involved in investigating the Shu family's case, he would naturally have basic information. Especially considering their several encounters, her sudden appearance in the Lu family, and her connection to Yuan Shanchuan, who seemed to be involved in the former county magistrate's case, Xiang Weinan had enough reasons to investigate her family history thoroughly. "So, you must hate the Shu family very much, right?" Xiang Weinan asked again. His cautious question left Shu Yu speechless. She let out a deep sigh and said, "Sir, why not just say what you want to say?" "...," Xiang Weinan cleared his throat, "I want to know how much you know about the Shu family's dark secrets." Shu Yu laughed, "Sir Xiang, you really think highly of me. As you said, I didn't have a good time in the Shu family, but you should also know that the third miss of the Shu family was like a transparent person. Not to mention the Shu family's dark secrets, even the things that happened openly in the Shu family might not have been known to me." Xiang Weinan raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? But how did you know about the dying confession on the night when the Shu family tried to kill you? The confession mentioned that eldest Master Shu had a mistress, Mrs. Shu wanted to marry the second miss to a cousin from her natal family, Second master Shu owed money to a gambling house, and Mrs. Shu caused a miscarriage for the mistress by poisoning her. These are hidden secrets that even the Shu family's old lady might not know. How did you come to know about them?" Shu Yu choked. Should she say that she read it from a book? Would he believe her? She sighed, rubbed her forehead, and forced a smile, "Those... I accidentally came to know about them." "Oh? So what else did you accidentally come to know?" Xiang Weinan asked. Shu Yu remained silent. "May I have a moment to think?" Xiang Weinan said. "Well, I'm not in a hurry," Shu Yu replied. Xiang Weinan knew that he could definitely gather more information from her. Shu Yu propped her forehead and began to recall the contents of the book. As far as she knew, the decisive evidence that brought down the Shu family in the end was... "Sir Xiang, you might want to keep an eye on Miss Shu from the Shu family," Shu Yu suggested. Among the Shu family's young ladies, the eldest miss was the vicious supporting female character in the book. The third miss, herself, was only mentioned a few times. But the second miss, who was also an illegitimate daughter like her, received completely different treatment. While the second miss appeared obedient and lacking initiative on the surface, no one knew that she was the favorite and most trusted daughter of the Shu family's patriarch. Just speaking about the mistress that Master Shu kept outside, it was this second miss who helped cover up and settle everything. Although Shu Yu exposed the fact that the second miss was being forced to marry a cousin who had a history of domestic violence, even if she hadn't revealed it, Madam Shu's plan wouldn't have gone smoothly. In the book, Mr. Shu almost considered divorcing Madam Shu because of this incident. If it weren't for the sudden disaster that befell the Shu family, it would have been difficult to predict the consequences. Therefore, while others might not be very clear about the Shu family's dark secrets, it was estimated that the second miss of the Shu family knew quite a lot.
