“If your father was only haunted by the shadow of his wife’s passing, then when you bring up this matter, his emotions would be sadness and grief, not anger,” Mei Shu grabbed her collar and pinned her against the wall. “You clearly see the clues, but you’re too timid to uncover the truth of your mother’s death because you’re afraid your father will get angry!”

“I’m not unwilling to investigate!” Sheng Nian said despairingly. “But if 1 want to uncover the truth, 1 have to involve my father. After my mother’s death, we depended on each other. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what I wanted, my father always fulfilled my wishes. I don’t want to disappoint him.” “So, he arranged for you to marry a man who would cheat on you?” Mei Shu let go of her collar and looked at her with disdain.

Sheng Nian shook her head. “No, my father can’t be blamed for what happened to Lu Ming. That’s his own doing. He has no connection with the Sheng family anymore. Don’t ever bring up Lu Ming in front of me.”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to bring him up again,” Mei Shu said emotionlessly. “Since Lu Ming married you, the Lu family has prospered with the help of your Sheng family. Even the Li family that Lu Ming’s sister married into has benefited. But I’ve heard something very interesting.”

“What?” Sheng Nian asked absentmindedly.

Mei Shu remembered the secret she had discovered when hacking into Lu Ming’s computer, and a wave of nausea washed over her. “Lu Ming was his mother’s late-in-life child, but shortly after that car accident, his father suddenly died of a heart attack at home.”

“So what?” Sheng Nian had some knowledge of this incident since she had been married to Lu Ming for so long, but she didn’t know the details.

She didn’t want to unnecessarily reopen old wounds. If Lu Ming didn’t mention it, she had never asked for the specifics.

Mei Shu said slowly, “Don’t you think it’s too coincidental? Your mother had just passed away not long ago, and then his father suddenly died of a heart attack shortly after that car accident, followed by his introduction to you by your father. After you two developed feelings for each other, your father arranged your marriage, allowing Lu Ming to marry into the Sheng family, giving a legitimate reason for the Sheng family to assist the Lu family.”

“My father has been helping Lu Ming’s family because our families are allied, not for the reasons you’re thinking,” Sheng Nian said fiercely, glaring at Mei Shu. “Don’t tarnish everyone with the same brush. Just because your father, Mei Yun, had an affair and gave birth to a love child doesn’t mean that other people’s fathers are the same.”

With that said, as if afraid she wasn’t convincing enough, Sheng Nian opened a drawer and took out a framed photo with a picture of her parents. She placed it in front of Mei Shu. “My parents had a great relationship. Since my earliest memories, they never had an argument. They were known as a loving couple by everyone. So it’s definitely not what you’re thinking!”

“Is that so? Well, let’s wait and see,” Mei Shu shrugged indifferently.

At that moment, the butler knocked on the door and Sheng Nian had to suppress her words of reproach. She went to open the door herself.

“Miss, Mr. Sheng has had too much to drink and is still in the living room. Ms. Mei Shu probably won’t be able to leave tonight,” the butler whispered, updating her on the situation downstairs.

Sheng Nian nodded and said, “I understand. If I put her in another room, 1 won’t feel comfortable with that, and 1 want to keep an eye on her myself. Later, you can come and clean up the dishes.”

“Okay.” the butler nodded, casting a glance at Mei Shu, who was sprawled lazily on the sofa, before silently leaving the room.

Sheng Nian found Mei Shu’s demeanor rather annoying and slammed the tray with the food onto the table, creating a loud noise. “Eat! If you want to starve, go starve outside! Don’t dirty my room!”

“Don’t worry, I can’t die just yet. 1 must investigate what happened back then.” Mei Shu opened her eyes and saw the tray in front of her with the soup that was deliberately spilled by Sheng Nian. She shrugged helplessly and said, “The dishes are quite good, and 1 like them. Thanks for the hospitality.”

“You go ahead and eat. 1 have things to attend to, and please don’t make any noise to disturb me!” Sheng Nian had fully realized her determination, so she didn’t bother trying to persuade her anymore.

Even though she said she wanted to investigate, what could she really uncover in the Sheng family with her watching over her?

With this thought in mind, Sheng Nian took out a book and immersed herself in reading.

Mei Shu quietly ate her meal, and after a while, the butler came to collect the tray. She handed it over and even took the opportunity to praise the Sheng family’s chef,

The butler responded with a fake smile.

Mei Shu didn’t mind the butler’s attitude. She returned to the desk, glanced down at the book Sheng Nian was reading, titled “Introduction to Programming,” and raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Why did you suddenly decide to learn this?”

Sheng Nian was deeply engrossed in her reading, and she was taken by surprise when someone spoke behind her, “Didn’t 1 tell you not to disturb me? After you finish your meal, just go and get the bedding to spread on the floor for yourself to sleep. The toiletries are on the lowest shelf in the bathroom; please don’t use mine carelessly.”

Mei Shu repeated her question, unperturbed by Sheng Nian’s earlier request not to disturb her..
