As the servant's face was exposed to the crowd, fear flashed past Aunt Li's eyes. Even An Lingyi was no longer calm and composed.
"Aunt Li, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
The old lady shouted angrily as her old eyes flashed with anger, causing Aunt Li's heart to rise.
The person who revealed his face was no one else but the Qing Er who was promoted to a level 1 servant not long ago.
Two days ago, she was still at An Lingge's courtyard, saying that Lan Xin had already "been beaten to death" and begged An Lingge not to bother about this matter. Now that she had been sent by the madame to kneel here, her hair was all messed up and his face was pale. She no longer had that mighty and proud look on his face.
An Lingge looked at the person on the ground, her eyes turning cold.
On the other side, the Aunt Li only panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
did not participate in this matter, the old lady must have made a mistake by capturing Qing Er.
After thinking for a moment, Aunt Li's expression became sad, as though she had been wronged, "Old madam, this is a new servant that was promoted by Yi Er's side, and is usually the most obedient. Why did you get people to capture her?"
She had said that the maidservant was obedient, implying that the madame had captured the wrong person.
The Countess snorted coldly. "nanny Wu, tell me what you found out."
nanny Wu was the one who was sent to investigate this matter. After hearing these words, she walked up two steps and stood in front of everyone. When she faced Aunt Li, she had a respectful expression on her face, but her back was ramrod straight.
Although she wore an unremarkable grey robe, she was neither humble nor haughty in front of all the madams and mistresses. It was no wonder that she could become the old mistress' confidante.
"In reply to the madame, this old servant thought that Guanyin's jade was of extraordinary quality, so he brought a few servants to find the shop that sold her jade. He then asked the shopkeeper."
"The shopkeeper said he had an impression of this matter. At that time, it was night time and a well-dressed servant went to buy that Guan Yin as a birthday present for the master of the house. He also said that the servant girl had a mole on her forehead, which was pretty nice to look at."
Guan Yin, the birthday, these two things connected and it was clear that nanny Wu was not asking the wrong person.
Moreover, the shopkeeper had said that the maidservant who bought Guan Yin was dressed well. She had a beautiful appearance and a mole on her forehead. It would be much easier to find someone like that.
Aunt Li's face changed, but she still defended her daughter, "nanny Wu also said, it was dark at that time, how can you be sure that the shopkeeper did not see wrongly?"
nanny Wu continued, "This old servant was afraid that I had recognized the wrong person, so I brought the shopkeeper over to the mansion. I let him personally see the servant girl and make sure he didn't recognize the wrong person before arresting her."
"With just the shopkeeper's words, he has already decided Yi Er's crime?" Aunt Li's eyes were filled with grief, as if she had suffered an enormous grievance.
An Lingge suddenly chuckled, there was a taunt in her voice, "Third Sister intentionally made Grandmother's birthday, and blocked her way up. Aunt Li did not know how to properly teach her, yet you still think you can get me out of this predicament?"
Her black eyes flashed with starlight. Her face was clearly incomparably gorgeous, but the look in her eyes made Aunt Li feel a chill in the slightly dry weather.
"A few days ago, Third Sister came to my courtyard and secretly asked me what kind of wedding gift I had prepared for Grandmother. I thought that Third Sister did not have any ideas, so I said that Grandmother liked ceremonies. Everyone saw just now that the Third Sister gifted Yu Guanyin to Grandmother, and now that there is evidence from the shopkeeper that she was bought by a servant next to the Third Sister, what kind of misunderstanding could there be in this matter? "
When did she ever tell him that this old man likes the Lilit Buddha?!
An Lingyi's eyes were wide opened as she looked at An Lingge who was lying, but her words were extremely serious, causing her to be unable to refute him even if she wanted to.
But in the eyes of others, An Lingyi's current appearance was due to her being shocked after being exposed by the old lady, so she could not help but believe her words even more.
Aunt Wei's gaze turned, her eyes were filled with schadenfreude, but she still acted as if she was considering the situation, "I thought Third Young Miss wanted to give the Old Madam a pleasant surprise, but who knew that there was a problem with Yu Guanyin, which resulted in such a mishap. "The madame was so angry that she thought someone was purposefully cursing her. It would be better if Third Young Miss apologized. As long as the misunderstanding was clear."
From the looks of it, Aunt Wei's suggestion was the best, to push this matter onto the quality of Yu Guanyin, the fault lay with the shopkeeper. It had nothing to do with An Lingyi, and nothing to do with Aunt Li.
An Lingyi wavered a little. What happened today was originally something that she and Aunt Li had discussed beforehand, so as to cause problems with An Lingge's wedding gift and make the old lady loathe the young miss who had been protecting him all this time.
But the wedding gift An Lingge offered was not the one that had been tampered with by Yu Guanyin. For some reason, that Yu Guanyin, for some reason, actually became her wedding gift!
The Old Granny had sent people to investigate, and they even found out about Qing Er who was by her side. This matter was extremely bizarre, and no one could understand it no matter how they thought about it.
But one thing was certain to An Lingyi, it must have been An Lingge's doing!
Otherwise, why would An Lingge escape from such a matter when she was questioned by the old lady?
She bit her lips and was about to push this matter onto the shopkeeper's hands when she suddenly remembered what they had done. She immediately came up with a countermeasure.
"Grandmother, even if this Yu Guanyin was sent by granddaughter to buy it, it is only a jade carving. How could she shed tears of blood? Have you sent people to investigate the situation? "
Old madam looked at nanny Wu, who then said, "Just now, this old servant had already checked. Someone had dug up the bottom of Yu Guanyin's body and stuffed a red candle inside. The red candle has already been burning for some time, and the tears from the candle have already flowed out from Guan Yin's eyes. "
These words very nicely explained the reason for Guan Yin's tears of blood, letting everyone know that it was a man-made move and not the Wang Mansion's bad luck.
An Lingyi was extremely wronged, her almond eyes were also a little pitiful, "Grandmother, you heard it too. If my granddaughter wanted to give you a congratulatory gift, why would you do anything to her? This is not the wedding gift that my granddaughter prepared. Someone was obviously up to some tricks on Yu Guanyin to frame my granddaughter! "
"Could it be that this Yu Guanyin was not bought back by the Third Sister's maidservants?"
