Chapter 1078 Concubine Chen's Sister
The bumps of the carriage rolling over the bluestone road were just like Lin Wan's turbulent mood at the moment.
Seeing her ugly face, the maid comforted her: "Young Madam, there was indeed a woman in the Summer Resort just now, but this does not mean that she is the mistress of the Young Master."
"Perhaps, perhaps this is all just a misunderstanding, and the young master still loves you wholeheartedly..."
By the end, the maid herself felt that she could not continue her story.
During this period, the young master frequently went to the Summer Resort, where there was only that one woman.
If she isn't the young master's mistress, then who else is?
Lin Wan leaned against the wall of the carriage, her fingertips tightly grasping a silk handkerchief, on which there were still traces of the faint sweet incense that had lingered in the courtyard just now.
The same thing she smelled on her husband last night!
It was because of this that Lin Wan was certain that the other party must have an unclear relationship with her husband!
Thinking of this, Lin Wan’s face became more and more ugly.
"Madam, you look so pale, do you want to rest for a while?"
Another maid cautiously handed over a cup of warm water and said indignantly: "That woman just now looked like a bad person. She was dressed more elegantly than you..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Wan suddenly raised her eyes and shouted harshly.
Her husband bought so many fashionable fabrics, but didn't give any of them to her. He gave them all to women outside. Is this a glorious thing?
After hearing the maid's reminder, Lin Wan felt as if someone had hit a sore spot.
The maid was startled and quickly apologized: "I said something wrong, please forgive me, Madam!"
Lin Wan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
The more times like this happen, the more she cannot panic, otherwise her husband will really be snatched away by a vixen outside.
"Yun Tao."
When the carriage drove into the side door of the mansion, Lin Wan suddenly spoke, her voice as cold as ice: "Do three things for me."
"First, find out the identity of the woman in the Summer Resort."
"Second, find the smartest maid in the mansion to go to Jinyun Pavilion and ask who is the young man who bought all the new materials last month."
"Third, go to the accounting office and check the Young Master's extra expenses in the past two months, especially the money sent to the outskirts of Beijing, and see where it was spent."
"Keep it low-key and don't let the young master know."
Yun Tao's heart trembled, and she quickly agreed: "Yes! Please rest assured, Madam, I will check it thoroughly!"
It was no secret that Shen Nanqiao went to the Mountain Resort in June to escape the heat. Yun Tao soon found out the news.
Seeing Yuntao coming back, Lin Wan dismissed his attendants.
She sat by the window, looking seemingly calm, but her slightly pale face betrayed her emotions.
"Young lady."
Yun Tao lowered her voice very low, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness: "I have found some information, but...some of it is very strange."
Lin Wan's inexplicable concern was raised: "Speak."
She wanted to know who the vixen who seduced her husband was? !
"The lady from the Summer Resort..."
Yun Tao whispered, "It's the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the young lady of the Lu family, Shen Nanqiao."
"Mrs. Lu, Shen Nanqiao?!"
Lin Wan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of shock.
Shen Nanqiao's name is not well-known in Beijing, but she has another identity that everyone knows -
The elder sister of Concubine Chen!!!
How come she lives alone in the summer resort?
And...why is my husband so entangled with her?
My husband's mistress is actually Concubine Chen's biological sister? !
This realization made Lin Wan's hands and feet instantly cold, and endless humiliation and anger surged in her heart.
Her voice trembled a little, and she asked in disbelief: "Are you sure?!"
"Absolutely true!"
Yun Tao confirmed: "Although the manor's steward is tight-lipped, the maid who cleans the villa recognized Madam Lu. She said she moved in in June and only brought a personal maid with her. She told the public that she was resting and recuperating and would not see any outside visitors."
"As for her and the young master..."
Yun Tao looked embarrassed: "I really can't find out anything about this."
"Everyone in the villa is very tight-lipped. They only say that the young master is a frequent visitor to the villa and sometimes goes there to handle some property matters. But no one dares to say whether the young master has had any contact with Madam Lu."
Lin Wan's heart sank to the bottom.
Regular visitor.
industry.
Ha... There is no property in the summer resort outside Beijing that is worth your husband's frequent trips. This is clearly an excuse!
It was no coincidence that Mrs. Lu happened to be recuperating there when her husband frequently went in and out of the Summer Resort!
Lin Wan suppressed her surging emotions and continued to ask, "What else?"
Yun Tao said, "As for Jinyun Pavilion, I paid some money and the shopkeeper quietly told me that it was our young master who bought all the new materials last month."
"The amount far exceeds the young master's daily expenses..."
Lin Wan's nails almost dug into her palms.
The husband really gave all the best materials to that woman!
Seeing Lin Wan's ugly face, Yun Tao lowered her voice even more, with a hint of suspicion: "I secretly checked the private accounts of the young master in the past two months. There are indeed several huge sums of money flowing to the suburbs of Beijing. The largest one was given directly to a doctor named Liu shortly after Madam Lu moved into the villa."
"But... what's even more bizarre is that Doctor Liu was said to have resigned from his post and returned home a few days ago. He left very suddenly and his whereabouts are unknown."
"I tried to find out the whereabouts of his family, but no one knew. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth."
Lin Wan keenly noticed something strange: "Disappeared from the face of the earth?"
First, my husband gave Dr. Liu a huge amount of medical fees, and then he suddenly disappeared, and even his family couldn't find him.
This is definitely not what an ordinary doctor should look like when he quits his job and returns to his hometown!
Suddenly, a chill ran up Lin Wan's spine...
She also grew up in a large mansion, so she could naturally imagine what happened to Doctor Liu.
What exactly is the husband trying to cover up that requires him to make a doctor disappear completely?
Also, Shen Nanqiao was recuperating during that period. Could it be that he had some serious and shameful illness?
Or...something unspeakable happened?
Lin Wan didn't dare to think about it any further.
But her intuition told her that this secret must be closely related to Shen Nanqiao's rest during that period and her husband's abnormal behavior!
Therefore, my husband did not hesitate to silence Doctor Liu!
This thought made Lin Wan shudder.
The gentle husband she knew was so cruel in private?
Yun Tao looked at Lin Wan's face, which had lost color in an instant, and the fear in her eyes that could not be concealed, and called out worriedly, "Young Madam..."
Lin Wan suddenly came to her senses, her heart pounding, fear overwhelming her jealousy.
For Shen Nanqiao, my husband might even risk his life!
Shen Nanqiao's identity is so sensitive. She is a wife of the Lu family and also the biological sister of Concubine Chen!
Lin Wan certainly understood the consequences if this matter was exposed.
Why on earth would my husband do this?
She really couldn't understand why a husband, who could have any beauty he wanted, fell in love with a married woman?
