While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 95 The Vanished Grave

When Su Yu, dressed and looking quite charming, stood before Yue Feng, he was momentarily taken aback. He glanced at this maidservant of Madam Ji and asked, "What is it?"

Su Yu bowed to Yue Feng and said, "Young Master Feng, have you come here to investigate Anji Fang, which is under the name of Shuiyue Manor?"

Yue Feng said, "So what if it is? This is your second young master's order. How dare I, a retainer, disobey?"

Su Yu smiled, her demeanor elegant: "Young Master Feng is too kind. Young Master Feng is a dragon among men, while Xie Shengjie, that good-for-nothing, is not even worthy to carry Young Master Feng's shoes."

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you afraid I'll go back and complain to your second young master about what you said?"

"Young Master Feng, please don't tease me. I've come here on Madam's orders to repay your kindness in rescuing me last night."

Yue Feng shook his head and said, "I've already said, I don't need your repayment. If Ouyang Sheng had lived after last night's situation, I wouldn't have had a good time in the Xie family."

Seeing that Yue Feng's refusal was firm, Su Yu gritted her teeth and suddenly bowed gracefully to him:

"Young hero, my father... was also sent to Anji Ward at Shuiyue Manor by my elder brother, so... this is also a personal matter for me. I want to help you, young hero, but actually I want to help myself. Could you please make an exception and allow me to do my part?"

Yue Feng frowned slightly and looked at Su Yu. Su Yu was kneeling on the ground, head bowed, her body trembling uncontrollably. Clearly, this matter was extremely important to her, and it took immense courage for her to utter those words just now.

Although Yue Feng had no good feelings towards Su Yushu, he eventually softened when she mentioned her father.

"How can you help me?"

Su Yu suddenly looked up, seemingly unable to believe that Yue Feng would actually agree, her eyes gleaming brightly. She tried her best to control her excitement and steady her voice:

"In Anjifang of Shuiyue Manor, many elderly people pass away every year. For those elderly people without relatives, Shuiyue Manor handles their funeral arrangements. Shuiyue Manor operates in secrecy and is difficult to investigate. However, for those elderly people with relatives, their funeral arrangements are handled by their relatives themselves, such as... such as my father."

Yue Feng asked in a deep voice, "You want to exhume the body and examine it?"

Su Yu nodded heavily: "Yes, exhume and examine the body. When my father passed away, I was unfortunately out of town. By the time I returned, my father had already been buried, and my elder brother handled the funeral arrangements."

"I asked him how his father died, and he only said that his lifespan had come to an end, so I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, I heard a lot of rumors about Shuiyue Villa, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong."

"Over the past few years, I have infiltrated Anjifang several times to investigate, but I haven't found anything conclusive. Therefore, after much thought, I've concluded that exhuming the body for examination is the only option."

Yue Feng asked, "Have you investigated Shuiyue Manor?"

Su Yu shook her head: "The defenses on Shuiyue Mountain are extremely tight. I consider myself to have good lightness skills, but I still couldn't sneak in."

Despite his audacity, Yue Feng still had to be extremely cautious about exhuming a body for examination. After much deliberation, he said, "Several years have passed since your father passed away, haven't they? Even if we exhume him for examination, we might not find anything. Even so, do you still want to have it done?"

"Yes!" Su Yu said resolutely, "I absolutely cannot let my father die without knowing why. If his death was truly the work of Shuiyue Manor, I will risk my life to make Shuiyue Manor pay for their crime in blood!"

Having said all that, Yue Feng no longer hesitated. The two discussed it briefly; Su Yu herself was skilled at autopsies, so there was no need for a coroner. They waited until dark and then headed straight for Su's father's grave. To avoid trouble, Su Yu did not inform her brother and sister-in-law beforehand.

When the two arrived at Su's father's grave, they found it flat and completely empty; there wasn't even a mound of earth, let alone a grave mound. Su Yu frowned deeply and muttered, "That's not right, this is the place, my father's grave. How could I be wrong..."

Yue Feng casually remarked, "Your older brother and sister-in-law didn't move the grave, did they?"

These words were a wake-up call. Although Su Yu didn't believe her brother and sister-in-law would do such a thing behind her back, it was the only possibility. She immediately took Yue Feng and went to the nearby village.

Not long after entering the village, a drunkard approached, his face flushed and swaying unsteadily. Su Yu stopped in her tracks upon seeing him: "Brother?"

The drunkard hesitated for a moment, unable to make out Su Yu's face in the darkness, but her accent sounded very familiar. Su Yu took two steps forward: "Brother, it's me, it's A-Yu."

Su Yu's elder brother looked flustered and turned to leave. Su Yu used her lightness skill to get ahead of him in two steps, and said with a smile, "Brother, you only had a little to drink, don't worry, I won't say anything. I need to talk to you, let's go home first."

Su Yu's elder brother calmed down, looked at Yue Feng, and asked suspiciously, "Who is he...?"

Su Yu winked at Yue Feng, feigning a shy, girlish expression: "He...he's your future brother-in-law. What do you think? Is he alright? Little Feng, come and pay your respects to your elder brother."

Yue Feng, a veteran actor, approached with a smile and bowed to Su Yu's elder brother, saying, "This humble one, Feng Manlou, greets Brother Su."

Upon seeing Yue Feng's handsome appearance, Su Yu's elder brother felt a pang of shame and stammered, "You... hello, my name is Su Qiang."

Yue Feng laughed, "Brother Su, you're living a life no worse than city folks! Drinking a little wine every day, how carefree!"

Su Qiang was quite pleased with himself and was about to boast when Su Yu suddenly said, "Hey, this isn't the way home. Big brother, have you moved?"

Su Qiang nodded: "I saved some money from doing business and built a new house. I couldn't contact you while you were in the city, so I didn't tell you."

Su Yu gave a soft "oh." Seeing her somber expression, Yue Feng couldn't help but pat her shoulder: "It's better to forget each other in the vast world than to cling together in hardship. If everyone can live well, what does it matter if we can't keep in touch?"

Su Yu glanced at him gently, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked about the situation in Su Qiang's village. As they spoke, they arrived at the gate of a rather grand courtyard. A woman with a still-attractive appearance came out of the courtyard to greet them. When she saw Su Yu, her face darkened; when she saw Yue Feng, her face darkened even more.

Su Yu took the initiative to greet the woman: "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time, you look even better."

Aunt Su forced a smile and replied, "Ayu, you're living the high life in the city, why did you suddenly want to come home?"

Su Yu pointed at Yue Feng and said with a smile, "What do you think of this man, sister-in-law?"

The jealousy in Aunt Su's eyes was impossible to hide, and she nodded repeatedly: "Good, good! Ayu has climbed up the social ladder, don't forget about home in the future."

Su Yu said half-jokingly, "That's hard to say. After all, I visited Dad's grave on my way here, and guess what? I seem to have forgotten where Dad's grave is. Brother, sister-in-law, what happened?"
