Chapter 2185

Mu Xuri, feeling guilty, gently stroked Wen Yu’s cheek with his hand.

“Although you didn’t marry me, we’ve lived together for so many years.”

“And now you silently leave me like this, how am I supposed to live alone in the future?”

To someone unaware, these words might truly seem like he’s sincerely grieving over Wen Yu’s death.

But everyone present, even if they didn’t know their actual relationship, could already see that Mu Xuri’s attitude towards Wen Yu had never been particularly good.

This is just an act for others to see.

Nangong Xu glanced at him, his face expressionless.

“Mr. Xuri, I want to take the body back to the medical room for some examination, to see if there’s another reason.”

Mu Xuri directly refused: “No need. She passed away so peacefully, I don’t want anyone disturbing her anymore.”

Nangong Xu’s dark eyes narrowed, something flickered in his mind.

Wen Yu’s death reminded him of the previous incident with Baili Yang.

On the surface, they both died of heart disease, but it was only yesterday that he heard Baili Yang had been poisoned by Mu Xuri.

Especially after hearing Wen Yu sought help from Mr. Xiaojiu, he was even more suspicious that Wen Yu’s death wasn’t straightforward.

“Madam’s death was too sudden, without any major changes, someone as young as her shouldn’t easily develop heart disease.”

Although he didn’t state it plainly, he did express doubt about the cause of Wen Yu’s death.

The aura around Mu Xuri cooled, and he said displeased: “I know her health better than anyone else, don’t I?”

“She’s gone now, and I won’t allow anyone to disturb her anymore.”

Nangong Xu had no choice; with Mr. Xiaojiu absent, everything had to follow Mu Xuri’s arrangements.

He lowered his gaze and walked to the side, discreetly signaled the male servant when no one was paying attention.

The male servant understood and immediately left.

Mu Xuri held Wen Yu’s hand, eyes tightly shut, seemingly immersed in grief.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he turned his wheelchair to face Nangong Xu.

“Why did you come here?”

His eyes fixed sharply on Nangong Xu, as if interrogating him.

Nangong Xu was slightly startled, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Previously, he only thought of hurrying to save Wen Yu, without considering how to explain how he knew she was in trouble.

He couldn’t possibly tell Mu Xuri that someone from the main house informed him.

The others looked puzzled, their gaze turned towards him.

“Yesterday, Mrs. Wen mentioned she wasn’t feeling well; I had Nangong Xu come over to examine her,”

A cold voice came from the door, as Mu Xiaojiu walked in with Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia.

Seeing Wen Yu’s body, his eyes clearly fluctuated somewhat.

After all, it had been more than ten years; even though his attitude had always been indifferent, he could feel that Wen Yu’s care was always genuine.

Mu Xiaojiu did not expect her to leave so suddenly.

He even started to blame himself, questioning why he insisted on her returning.

If he hadn’t hesitated and took her away earlier, she might still be alive now.

But suddenly, who would have thought someone would act against her?

Could it be she did something?

Then, did Mu Xuri really cruelly murder her?

Wen Yu’s death nearly shattered the only hope Mu Xiaojiu held in his heart.

This elder brother, whom he respected for over twenty years, could he truly be a bloodthirsty wolf in sheep’s clothing?

Is he… really this ruthless?
