Interlude: Sinister Shadow

"My father came to meet you that night? Why wasn't I informed about this?" Meng Renshu's facial expression hardened. 

"There are many things the servants in our house didn't tell you." Li Caiyi replied weakly.

Meng Renshu remembered how no one even reported to him about her deteriorating health and became more suspicious. "Did they bully you?"

Her silence was all answer he needed. "Say it, what did they do to you?"

"Why do you want to know about that? We aren't here to speak about the servants' behavior."

Meng Renshu didn't need to hear it from her because he already had an idea. Sadly, he only came to know about this after her funeral. 

How could Meng Shuchun frequently visit her and take her things away without him knowing? Those servants must be in cahoots with his mother and sister. 

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

"When did you have time to listen to me?"

That answer was like a punch to his face.
