The servant brought up tea, the old lady took it, took a sip, and looked at Zi'an through the mist. She knew Xia Zi'an's purpose. Reporting to the police was to attract more people's attention, so that everyone would keep their eyes on the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was equivalent to supervising the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The old lady took a deep breath and said, "You have also tortured Lan Yu. Let's just forget about this matter. I will have someone send some things to your Xiazhi Garden as Lan Yu's apology to you. Do you think this is okay?"
Zi'an sneered, "No, old lady, although Xiazhi Garden is not as rich as other rooms in the prime minister's mansion, it has everything it needs, and does not need your reward."
Lan Yu was very angry when she heard Zi'an was so aggressive and refused to give in. "Didn't you beat me up too? If I want to investigate, the old lady can also investigate you."
"The one who teases first is the slut, don't you know that?" Zi'an glanced at her coldly, "Besides, I'm talking to the old lady, what does it have to do with you? Go stand aside."
The old lady looked at Lan Yu, who was full of anger, and said, "Alright, you can go down now."
Lan Yu said unwillingly: "Madam, even if we report it to the authorities, we will not suffer any loss. She has no evidence to prove that I did it. It is impossible for the authorities to believe whatever she says."
The old lady slammed the table and shouted, "Get out!"
Lan Yu was frightened by the old lady's anger and shivered involuntarily. He didn't dare to offend her again and retreated with reluctance.
The old lady looked at Zi'an and said, "I don't think it's feasible to report it to the police. If you really feel unsatisfied, just beat her up again."
Lan Yu, who was standing at the door, couldn't believe her ears when she heard this. The old lady had just said that she would protect her this time, but now she let Xia Zian beat her up to vent her anger
Zi'an said, "The old lady should know that there was a fire in the back garden just now, which burned a lot of my wood, and the wall was also knocked down."
The old lady snorted, "Are you going to put this on me?"
"As long as we investigate, we will know who did it. The opposition in the Prime Minister's Mansion is actually very clear. If it's not my people, then it's the old lady's people."
"Then who knows if you deliberately ordered people to set the fire, tear down the wall and then put the blame on me?" The old lady was not stupid. If she admitted this matter at this time, Xia Zian would be even more unreasonable.
Zi'an smiled coldly, "Grandma's speculation is not without reason. Why not ask the government to investigate this matter as well?"
The old lady was furious. "We can't continue the conversation like this."
The old lady was actually very upset. When did she and Xia Zian reach the point of talking? In the past, in this mansion, her words were equivalent to an imperial decree. Who dared to disobey
Lan Yu thought the old lady's frustration and helplessness were cowardly, and she simply could not accept the old lady's compromise.
Xia Wan'er didn't know when she came to the door. She beckoned Lan Yu over with her hand and said indifferently, "Don't blame grandma. Grandma can't help but be afraid of her now. Unless she dies, grandma will have to look at her face."
Lan Yu's heart moved, and he looked up at Xia Wan'er, "What does the Second Miss mean?"
Xia Wan'er waved her hands. "I don't mean anything. I'm just trying to persuade you. If you really want to keep things peaceful, bring a cup of tea in now, kowtow and apologize. Maybe she will let you off."
Lan Yu said softly, "Second Miss, may I have a word with you?"
Xia Wan'er showed a faint smile, the fish was hooked.
Seeing that Zi'an refused to give in, the old lady couldn't help but get angry, "Xia Zi'an, don't go too far."
When Boss Dao saw the old lady raise her voice, his eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward and said, "Old lady, don't go too far."
The old lady stared at Boss Dao and asked, "Are all the servants in your house so presumptuous?"
Zi'an smiled faintly, "I can't help it. The servants in the old lady's room were so rude to me. The servants in my room are not vegetarians either. They are here to protect their master, right?"
The old lady wanted to kick Zi'an out. This kind of entanglement was really exhausting for her. "Okay, except for reporting to the police, everything else is up to you."
This is what Zi'an was waiting for. "Okay, if that's the case, then please give me the blue jade."
"I just told you that I could let you beat her up." The old lady said dissatisfiedly.
"Madam, you misunderstood. I don't want to beat her or punish her. I want you to hand her over to me," Zi'an corrected.
"What do you mean?" The old lady was startled, smelling something unusual, and asked Zi'an while staring at him.
"Leave it to me... to deal with!"
The old lady suddenly realized something. Her purpose of coming here tonight was not really to report to the police. She just wanted Lan Yu.
She wanted to kill Lan Yu? Did she dare
Although Lan Yu was arrogant and stupid, he had served her for a long time. Killing Lan Yu would undoubtedly be equivalent to telling those who were loyal to her in the mansion that she, as the old lady of the prime minister's mansion, could not protect a servant. She could even beat the old people around her to death. In the future, who would dare to be loyal to her
"Before you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. Xia Zian, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" The old lady frowned and said sternly
Zi'an had a faint smile on his face. "The old lady is unwilling to report to the police, and she can't hand over the murderer to me. So, according to the old lady, do you want to let this matter rest?"
The old lady said coldly: "I told you that you can beat her up."
Zi'an shook his head, "It seems that the old lady will not give in even a step."
At this time, Lan Yu came in with tea and knelt down in front of Zi'an. "Miss, I know I was wrong. If you want to beat me or kill me, I will let you do whatever you want. This cup of tea is to apologize to you."
This sudden change made Zi'an a little stunned.
The old lady suddenly frowned, grabbed the armrests of the chair with both hands, and had an urge to stand up.
Lan Yu had been with her for more than thirty years, and she knew Lan Yu's character too well. She had always looked down on Xia Zian, and now she hated him even more. She would never kneel in front of her to apologize.
There's poison in the tea!
Is Lan Yu crazy? If he poisons Xia Zian here, wouldn't that be the same as exposing the truth
Cuiyu also realized it and stepped forward quickly, "Okay, go out and stop making trouble. The old lady is in charge of everything, and there is no need for you to interfere."
After saying that, he was about to take her tea away.
However, Lan Yu did not let her take it away. She continued to kneel on the ground and looked directly at Zi'an, "Miss, please forgive me!"
Zi'an saw it and understood it. She nodded to Boss Dao and said, "Bring the tea up."
If I'm not mistaken, Xia Wan'er was outside just now.
It was Lan Yu's fault that she was poisoned to death. It had nothing to do with Xia Wan'er. If anyone really wanted to investigate, they could only blame the old lady.
When did Xia Wan'er become so smart? She knew how to use the people around the old lady to attack her.
Come to think of it, she made a lot of contributions in this matter.
