"But, I always feel that the second sister isn’t truly crazy, right?"

"She is truly crazy. You haven’t been to the hospital to see it for yourself." Xiao Shuju said, furrowing her brows, "Actually, even now, I can’t figure it out. How did she really go mad? But, if the second sister isn’t crazy—"

"What if she’s not crazy?"

"If she’s not crazy, then she killed someone, it was intentional murder, and she’d be sentenced to death, that’s for certain." Saying this, Xiao Shuju was naturally thinking that if there’s a way to spare Xiao Shulan’s life, it’d be good if Xiao Shulan were just crazy.

"Do you know why the second sister went to see Mrs. Chen?" Xiao Shuzhu asked.

Xiao Shuju replied, "Later, I heard people say that the second sister had tried to meet Mrs. Chen before. It was by Dad’s instructions, the second sister thought Mom’s inheritance was kept by Mrs. Chen and hadn’t been handed over, so she went to the Chen Family to confront Mrs. Chen."

"Someone as sharp as the second sister didn’t notice anything unusual about her dowry?" Xiao Shuzhu thought the logic was quite peculiar, feeling it couldn’t quite be explained.

Suddenly, Xiao Shuju recalled something, "Oh, right."

"Hmm?"

"Before, when the family’s company was in trouble, the second sister was in charge and seemed to have considered selling assets to save our family company. Of course, her own small company wouldn’t sell for much money."

"Are you saying the second sister might have taken Xiao Family’s belongings to the auction house?!"

No kidding, this is exactly something the Xiao family’s second child would do, something that seems foolish but is actually quite clever!

If the items sent to the auction house officially enter the auction process, it’s as if they’re entrusted to the auction house. And the auction house is obliged to maintain strict confidentiality for both the items and their owners. It’s as secure as a bank’s confidentiality conditions. You know, banks are monitored by the Banking Regulatory Commission, so anything you keep in a bank is basically under their surveillance. But, the auction house isn’t.

Now, the items Xiao Shulan sent to the auction house, whether they’ve been auctioned off or not, maybe yes, maybe no. After all, with Xiao Shulan’s mental state as it is.

The issue is, Xiao Shuju found it strange: "You mean the second sister is in the hospital, why hasn’t the auction house contacted me? Why not contact the second sister’s family?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xiao Shuzhu seemed to understand the auction situation slightly better than the third sister, saying, "That’s possible, maybe the second sister, for the sake of safety, had already transferred the items to an overseas auction company. In this case, the overseas auction company might not be aware of the situation domestically. Secondly, the second sister might not have listed our names as emergency contacts."

"Whom did she write then? If we’re not her family, who is?" Xiao Shuju exclaimed in disbelief.

However, Xiao Shuzhu believed it could be possible. Because Xiao Shulan was always like this, not even trusting her own family. If there was anyone left Xiao Shulan trusted, it might only be one person—Xiao Shulan’s daughter, Kang Yueting, who is also Xiao Shulan’s future hope.

Kang Yueting is suspected of intentional poisoning causing death, and since she is already criminally responsible due to her age, it is said that the public security and inspection departments have already filed a death penalty lawsuit with the court.
