Wu Sheyue glanced at Wu Ziming and knew that he had also reacted. Although nothing decisive has been taken yet, anyone with a discerning eye can see the clumsiness in this play.
The maid's movements froze obviously. She was willing to take the blame because she wanted her family to be safe. If she couldn't save them, wouldn't her life be in vain
Continue to frame Wu Sheyue? None of them had any evidence to accuse the other, and Jiang Qingxue's request could not be met. Continue to carry it on your own? If she admitted to such a big thing, she wouldn't be able to handle it...
"Madam..." She looked up with a gloomy face and tears on her face, looking at Jiang Qingxue sadly.
Jiang Qingxue panicked and said, "What, what did you tell me to do?"
Wu Ziming looked at Jiang Qingxue, his clenched fingers squeaking. Everyone around was staring at her in surprise.
The maid cried in pain and begged: "Madam, I have always known that you have the best intentions. Please save my parents. All these bad things are done by your servant and have nothing to do with anyone! They are all my fault!"
"You, you are committing a capital crime, but I can try my best to intercede for you..." Jiang Qingxue couldn't finish her words in a panic. There were so many people here watching, but she didn't dare to refuse to prove her innocence.
After receiving Jiang Qingxue's "guarantee", the maid finally closed her eyes in grief. Wu Sheyue recognized the look in her face just now - it was a look that meant she was desperate for life and was planning to die. At this moment, she hesitated a little deep in her heart, but in the end she chose not to stop...
Sure enough, the maid suddenly got up from the ground, turned around and knocked her head on the corner of the table.
Blood spurted out immediately. It was unclear whether it was from her forehead or from her injured neck.
"Ah-" The screams of the women filled the small courtyard one after another. The old lady's eyes narrowed as she looked at the person lying in front of her, and the folds on her face seemed to be cursing her.
Wu Ziming punched the edge of the bed next to him angrily. This bitch actually committed suicide out of fear of crime. How hateful!
"Dead, dead! Dead!" The two little girls from the Jiang family were frightened, and they hugged each other tightly and closed their eyes.
Wu Liuyun's mind went blank. Her legs softened and she fell to the ground with a thud. Jiang Ying's psychological quality was much stronger. She ran over and hugged Wu Liuyun and pulled him up. But Wu Liuyun was so weak that he had no strength at all and could not stand up no matter what.
Among all the people, only Wu Sheyue was watching all this with an expressionless face, while Xue Yan was watching her...
Jiang Qingxue and Wu Ziqi should be the happiest. They looked at each other and it seemed that mother and son had a good understanding. There is no proof of death, and today this level is over. Although he couldn't bring down Wu Sheyue, fortunately he was able to protect himself.
However, they were happy too early.
Wu Sheyue still planned to hold on tight. She walked up to the old lady and said calmly: "Grandma, this matter seems to be very clear. This maid kidnapped the fourth sister, lured the eighth prince in, and finally told lies to frame me. Fortunately, she did not let her She succeeded. It's just that she has no grudge against Yue'er, and it seems she has no grudge against Fourth Sister, so how could she do this for no reason. She must have been instructed by someone. Even if she committed suicide, it was because she wanted to protect the real murderer."
After hearing this, the old lady's gaze slowly moved to Wu Sheyue's face.
Wu Sheyue continued: "Even if she commits suicide out of fear of crime, the investigation can be continued. The fourth sister went to Yunshuyuan early in the morning. There are traces of what she ate, who did it, and who came into contact with her. Follow up. And Xilan, ask her when the fourth sister started to have symptoms, where they went after leaving the meeting, and where the fourth sister last appeared. The time must be correct."
Mo Yunsheng and others nodded in agreement. Indeed, many witnesses and physical evidence need time to be destroyed, and now it is completely too late for a thorough investigation.
Before the old lady could speak, Jiang Qingxue screamed excitedly: "Wu Sheyue! She has confessed to the law and even committed suicide. What are you still planning here! Do you think someone must want to harm you?" She said With an angry look on her face, those who didn't know thought it was Wu Sheyue who had done something to her.
"Isn't there?" Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Yue'er is doing it for the good of her family, but she can't let the fourth sister get hurt for no apparent reason. But now it seems... my mother really doesn't want to investigate. Then What’s the reason?”
Those outsiders have now made a clear judgment. Just looking at Jiang Qingxue's performance, how could this matter have nothing to do with Dafang? The backyard of other people's homes is also bloody and unsightly...
Wu Ziming's eyes became more and more sinister. Even though there was no evidence, he became more and more certain that it was related to the elder room.
Jiang Qingxue continued to argue, "You, why do you have such a reason? This is all obvious, and you still have to go through all the trouble to find other reasons. What kind of peace of mind do you have! Could it be that no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to harm you? You can’t even do that!”
She can only hope that there is no evidence now. As long as there is no evidence, whether she is suspicious or not, she can figure out a solution later!
"Yue'er is kind-hearted. It's not a family member anyway, so just check. What is mother worried about?" Wu Sheyue said, with a sneer on her lips.
At this time, Wu Ziming, who had been silent, finally spoke with a cold face, "I think what the third sister said is reasonable. You don't need to bother mother about this matter. Just ask the servants to investigate. If it doesn't work, just call the clan mansion." , I believe Mr. Xue will definitely help."
Xue Yan nodded slightly, "This is natural and I am happy with it."
When Wu Ziqi heard that even the clan official had said it, he hurriedly spoke to his own mother, "Don't—mother, you are not worried about yourself. This, this is just because you don't want to do so much useless work!"
The mother and son were now a little unreasonable, and Wu Sheyue did not intend to argue with them anymore. She turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, what do you think?"
Anyway, the old lady has the final say now. No matter what, the old lady will always think about getting justice for her granddaughter.
—
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the old lady took a deep breath. Calm down the tightly clenched hearts.
Hey, what has she not seen in most of her life? Just based on Jiang Qingxue's words just now and Wu Ziqi's demeanor... she knew that Dafang probably couldn't escape. But the Prime Minister's Mansion has already lost a lot!
The future of the fourth girl will definitely be ruined. If she insists on investigating, and the two legitimate children are revealed in the end, and if the third girl continues to quarrel, Ziming will definitely be involved... By then, these children will not be able to survive. good.
She only has one son and daughter. Although the third girl was a commoner, she is very smart now and is favored by the prince. Which one is more valuable than Wu Lixiang! If they were harmed again because of Reika, this would be a common mistake!
"Grandma?" Wu Ziming saw that the old lady had been thinking about it for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to continue the investigation?"
Wu Ziqi was extremely nervous, and his chest and back were all wet. Jiang Qingxue also felt her heart drop in her throat.
Just listen to the old lady lamenting: "Forget it, forget it... The real culprit has been caught, so be it. Ask someone to bring her parents to me! I want to see who taught such a good teacher." daughter!"
"Yes." Jiang Qingxue responded immediately.
The old lady did not intend to let go of the maid's family, and Jiang Qingxue did not intend to plead for mercy. Anyway, this man's death was in vain.
"Grandma..." Wu Ziming looked stunned and said in astonishment: "Is this really the case? What should Lixiang do?"
The old lady shook her head silently. Wu Ziming suddenly felt a pain in his chest, as if something had cracked.
Mo Yunsheng and others looked at each other. Although this was unexpected, it was also reasonable. Everyone came from the deep courtyard, and they could actually guess what the old lady was thinking.
Wu Liuyun relaxed a lot. She reached out and touched her forehead and found that her face was wet with sweat.
Wu Sheyue frowned and persuaded: "Grandma—"
Before she could finish speaking, the old lady tiredly stretched out a hand to stop her: "No need to mention it again, that's enough!"
"Yes, Yue'er understands." Wu Sheyue lowered her eyes, and her previous indifference returned to her face. She should have known about the warmth and warmth of people in this Prime Minister's Mansion, and interests were the only link that maintained everyone. How could she still have such high expectations for these people.
Hey, it's unreliable to use other people's hands to eliminate dissidents. As expected, you still have to rely on your own efforts.
Seeing Wu Sheyue's lowered eyebrows, Xue Yan thought she was hurt, and a feeling of pity came to her heart. But if he knew that Wu Sheyue was actually thinking about how to design people next, I'm afraid his expression would be very exciting.
The old lady knew the ins and outs of this matter, so she assumed that the matter had been resolved. She ignored Wu Ziming, who looked extremely unhappy, stood up and faced everyone and said, "The Prime Minister's Office has too many chores to do today, so I won't keep you here. Please don't mind."
"I don't mind. I don't mind."
"Old Madam, you are so polite." Mo Yunsheng and others wiped their foreheads. What do you mind? They should have fled long ago.
Now that they finally got the chance, Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Wenhan quickly bowed and said, "My nephew is going back now. I'll come visit you next time."
Tian Anran gave a stiff smile and said: "Old madam, please take good care of your body. It's time for Anran to go home."
The old lady looked at them and spoke meaningfully, "Today's affairs are all chores of the Prime Minister's Mansion. They are really a joke to everyone, so..."
Everyone understood what the old lady meant, and one or two people expressed their opinions, "Old madam, you are worrying too much. Whose family doesn't have a family matter..." (To be continued)
