Shen Ningning retreated behind him. Mo Lingwei lifted the lid, creating a palm-width gap. He glanced inside for just a moment before quickly putting it back down.
He turned back to Shen Ningning. "I think we need to go to the Ministry of Justice and get your second brother."
Lu Shaoyuan, who was standing nearby, froze when he heard this. He then rushed forward and threw open the lid. His face instantly turned pale, and his legs went weak.
His page was submerged in the water vat, long dead.
Shen Ningning then understood that things had gotten serious.
If this wasn't investigated thoroughly, Lu Shaoyuan would be blamed for two deaths.
So, she immediately nodded, allowing Mo Lingwei to send someone to fetch her second brother.
While they waited for Xie Ming'an to arrive, Lu Shaoyuan was a wreck, his face deathly pale.
Seeing how distressed he was, Shen Ningning suggested he go back to the previous private room to rest.
