"Grandma Ruolan didn't harm Grandma Yun. The maid and concubine tried their best to pour this pot of dirty water on your head." Aunt Jiang's eyes were red, she suddenly turned around and knelt down, crying to Su Nuannuan Said: "Grandma Mingjian, maids and concubines really don't dare to think of harming the master..."

Su Nuannuan thought to herself that she just found out today that Aunt Jiang is the queen of actresses. See how realistic this expression of restraining anger and grief is? And these words are simply too loud.

Thinking in her heart, but her face remained calm, she coughed and interrupted Aunt Jiang, she said softly: "Why did you mention that Grandma Yun can't eat lotus root in front of Grandma Lan?"

Aunt Jiang was stunned for a moment, but then she lowered her head and cried, "I dare not lie to my master and grandma. After I moved out of Xia Yuxuan, Grandma Yun made things difficult for my concubine many times, so my concubine was very sad and a little angry. Then The first time I talked to Grandma Lan, I couldn't help complaining a few words. I only said that Grandma Yun almost died from eating lotus root powder that day. At that time, the concubine was only two years older than her. He didn't dare to close his eyes for two nights, and since then he has been doing his best, saying to the outside world that Grandma Yun doesn't like lotus root, but internally he has tried his best to guard against it, lest someone will take the opportunity to harm grandma. what?"

Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "At that time, I just rushed to talk about it, and the concubine also regretted it afterwards, just thinking that Grandma Lan would not dare to use this matter to harm Grandma Yun, after all, she knew about it. The number of people is limited, who would have imagined it... It's all the maidservant's fault, it's the maidservant who doesn't know people clearly and talks quickly..."

Behind the screen, Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear it, and began to curse in a low voice, but because Xu Shizi was by his side, it was difficult to stand up and make a scene, so she had to hold back. Su Nuannuan and Duan Tingxuan ignored her. Only at this time did the young master ask Aunt Jiang: "I've always wondered, you originally obeyed Ran Yunyan, why did you suddenly move out of Xia Yuxuan?"

Aunt Jiang hesitated for a moment, looked up at Fengxian, and saw that she turned her head away in guilty conscience, and said sadly: "Return to Master's words. Brother Chuan had a stomachache that day. He almost lost his life. The maid and concubine once thought it was done by Grandma." Hands and feet, it was later discovered that grandma was an excellent person, and she taught the concubine many things that others would not say. She also really cared about Brother Chuan. The concubine became suspicious, thinking that grandma could not People who do this kind of thing, let alone think about it after calming down, eating ice cream will ruin their stomachs. How could they eat dead people? So the maid and concubines secretly investigated and investigated to the end. Although there is no direct and obvious evidence, all doubts Pointing to Grandma Yun, she asked Miss Fengxian to bring a bowl of ginger syrup that day, and brother Chuan was out of control after drinking that bowl of ginger syrup. If brother died that time, the concubine must go crazy, This blame must have been pinned on Grandma's head. Since then, every time Grandma Yun sees the concubine and Brother Chuan, there is hatred in her eyes, and the concubine has no knowledge. I can't describe that look clearly, but I can intuit it That is the look in the eyes of wishing our mother and son would die, even Brother Chuan was terribly afraid of her..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Tingxuan shouted: "What? What do you mean? Brother Chuan was killed by Ran Yun?"

Aunt Jiang said with a sad smile: "My concubine knows about Grandma Yun, but I have no proof, and it is not suitable to settle old accounts today. Anyway, now that Grandma Yun is gone, I can ask Miss Fengxian, Grandma Yun herself If you can’t do this, since it’s the ginger syrup sent by Miss Fengxian, she must understand the twists and turns.”

Duan Tingxuan's face was ashen, and he was about to speak, but Su Nuannuan said: "Don't be impatient, please be safe. Aunt Jiang is right. The most urgent thing is to find out about the sudden death of Sister Yun."

The young master just nodded, and suddenly Xue Zhilan said loudly: "Is there any need to ask? Isn't it obvious? Because Sister Yun wanted to harm her Brother Chuan, Aunt Jiang held a grudge, and first put the matter of Sister Yun not being able to eat lotus root. My son told me, and found that I was unmoved, so she simply did it herself. As for her saying that she didn't have the guts to harm the master, hehe, she just relied on herself, maybe she didn't have the guts, but she didn't know that no one was behind the scenes to support her ?”

"Grandma Lan, you must have evidence for what you said. You said I was the one who killed Grandma Yun, but I haven't been there since I left Xia Yuxuan. How did I do it? When? Where? What kind of method did I use?" The method? Put lotus root into Grandma Yun's diet? Tell me. Besides, you identified me as the murderer, what about the witnesses? What about the physical evidence?"

"you… "

Xue Zhilan was at a loss for words, but she heard Aunt Jiang say aggressively: "Instead, it was Grandma Lan who sent rabbits from Qianerzhuang, and a few brothers urged them to raise rabbits, so they ran to the kitchen to pick them. When they were picking rabbits, they saw Feiyan The girl took a plate of cold lotus root slices, and several brothers asked for it, and she gave each of them a slice, isn't that right?"

Su Nuannuan lowered her head to drink tea, but from the corner of her eyes, she looked at Xue Zhilan calmly, and saw that Caisang behind her suddenly trembled twice, cold sweat flowing down her forehead like a stream, Xue Zhilan was there But Zhilan still shouted: "Bastard, how dare you wrong me? What's wrong with just eating a few slices of lotus root? How many people in the house eat lotus root at this time of year? Are they all suspect?"

Aunt Jiang seemed to have suppressed it all these years, but at this moment she refused to give up an inch, and said in a deep voice: "There are many people in the house who eat lotus root, but there are not many people who know that Grandma Yun can't eat lotus root, right?"

"So what? Haven't you eaten lotus root these days?"

Xue Zhilan instinctively felt flustered: How did things turn out like this? It can only be Aunt Jiang who hurt people, can't she? But why is she so calm? And in turn, forced himself to lose his position? This... This is not right, why did all the evidence suddenly point to him

Although flustered in her heart, she tried to calm down on her face, and was about to get back the initiative when Su Nuannuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said, "I see Caimulberry behind my sister seems to have something to say, how about it? My sister, why don't you let her come out and say a few words?"

Cai Sang suddenly raised her head, her face was full of fear, she repeatedly shook her head and waved her hands: "No...no, I have nothing to say..."

"Grandma wants you to come out and answer, what are you hiding behind?"

Duan Tingxuan looked at Cai Sang with heavy eyes, seeing that the girl was unwilling to come out, he turned his head and looked at his wife, only to see Su Nuannuan said indifferently: "Don't panic, I'll ask you a few words, you must answer without thinking ,how?"

"I... Slave... I..." Cai Sang looked at Xue Zhilan in a panic, but seeing her master's expression of surprise, seeing her look over, she yelled angrily: "Since Grandma wants to ask you something, you can just answer it, what are you doing?" Such a dead face?"
