"It seems I have been too lax in my discipline, allowing people on the estate to become so arrogant that they dared to lay such vicious hands on Yunheng. Such servants deserve to be severely punished! Mother Xu, have you brought her back?" Xiao Shuning asked, her face darkening as she turned to Mu Jinyuan.
"Mother, I was furious at the time, so I had Mother Xu bound, intending to bring her back for Grandmother to deal with. After all, she is an old servant who has served by Grandmother's side. But Mother Xu feared the punishment and took advantage of a moment when we weren't looking to escape. Unfortunately, she fell into a hunter's trap and was pierced through the chest by the bamboo stakes set there. By the time we found her, she was already gone," Mu Jinyuan replied.
*Mother Xu is dead?*
