Concubine Shao's face suddenly changed, she angrily scolded: "Where did this crazy servant girl come from, don't you slander me!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Old Madame Ye pitifully as she said, "To the heavens and earth, ever since my wife was laid on the bed and recuperated, I have been following the old lady's instructions and serving her wholeheartedly. No matter if it was food or medicine that I eat everyday, which part of me is short or missing?"
"This servant is someone who came out of my wife's room. Only with the grace of my wife can I have the good fortune I have today. How could I secretly harm my wife? It might be because this maid had a big heart that she would do such a thing, begging the old lady to be enlightened! "
Jin Lan raised his eyes to look at her, but in his heart, he smiled coldly. He sounded reasonable, reminding the old lady that she and the old lady were on the same boat. Whatever she did, she had to have something to do with the old lady.
But unfortunately, with the old lady's personality, even if she wanted to trample on her mother, she had to do it herself. The Concubine Shao was just a chess piece, and if the chess piece had not moved, the chess piece would not move at all, which was a complete provocation to the old lady!
Besides, in the old lady's eyes, no one was more important than her own life!
Sensing the Old Madame Ye's trembling body, Jin Lan lowered his gaze to cover the ridicule in his eyes.
Man Ping saw that the Concubine Shao was very sly, and immediately struggled with all her might, "You're lying! Madam has treated me as a mountain, if not … "Why would a servant do anything to a lady?!"
Due to her constant struggles, the hemp rope that was tightly tied to her body grinded her delicate flesh until it was bloody. Under the intense pain and anger, her face contorted even more, "Not long after my wife was born in Second Miss, Concubine Shao had this servant secretly do things in her food so that my wife's body gets worse and worse day by day. She is unable to control the affairs of my house! Furthermore, she initially wanted to use this servant to poison Second Miss, but before she could do so, the old granny carried Second Miss away! "
"Later on, my wife's health actually improved more and more every day, until First Miss and Second Miss went to the capital. Only then did Concubine Shao get Su Xin to send a message to this servant, saying that I must think of a way to get my wife before Second Miss goes back to her house … Being forced into a corner, this servant secretly schemed for Little Xiu to help this servant poison his wife! "
"The rest of the poisons and Concubine Shao's rewards, I hid them all under my bed. The old lady would send someone to search and find them!" Man Ping kept in mind what Jin Lan had said just now. She did not dare to hide anything in her heart, and she told Jin Lan everything that had happened without reservation.
Even though Madame SHen had already known about this from the pavilion selection, when she heard it again, her heart was bleeding profusely.
At first, he thought that Shaoyin was a good person, but ever since she was pregnant, he had placed her face into the house.
For the first time, the Madame SHen felt grateful towards the Old Madame Ye. If not for the old lady bringing Lan Er away to raise him, perhaps Lan Er would be the same as him.
She gripped the handkerchief tightly, afraid that she would be unable to resist stepping forward and strangling this wicked woman with her own hands!
Old Madame Ye was so angry that her face was ashen and trembling. Back then, it was precisely Madame SHen that could not be the butler.
She did not expect that everything would be meticulously planned by someone else, and never in her wildest dreams would she imagine that Concubine Shao was actually thinking of making a move against Jin Lan!
Old Madame Ye slammed the table, "Shaoyin, how dare you!"
Concubine Shao did not look good, and immediately gave Su Xin a look, allowing her to support him as she carefully knelt down, it was just that she was able to take care of her legs every month, and normally, she would recuperate well, her stomach looked even bigger than a normal woman's arms, and currently, kneeling down was not a good feeling, and there was even a faint twinge of pain.
However, she gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She pulled out a handkerchief and started crying, "Old Madam, please don't believe this maid. She's crazy! Not to mention the others, ever since Second Miss was born, how much did this servant treat her? Even the First Miss has always blamed this servant for being biased! "
When Old Madame Ye saw Concubine Shao kneel down, her eyelids jumped twice as she shouted coldly, "What are you doing? Get up! It carefully hurt the child in her womb! "
Jin Lan's pupils shrank. As expected, the old lady still cared about Concubine Shao's stomach. She sat up and rubbed her slightly red and swollen eyes, and took the opportunity to give Mama Tang a meaningful glance.
The Mama Tang then bowed to the Old Madame Ye, and said: "Old lady, this servant has a few sheets of paper, I hope that old lady can have a look."
Old Madame Ye glanced at Pin Yue, and the latter quickly took the thing in her hands and offered it to Pin Yue.
It was fine if Old Madame Ye didn't look at it, but once she did, the expression of worry for her unborn grandson immediately darkened, and became even deeper than before. After hurriedly sweeping through the paper in her hands, she couldn't help but grab a teacup beside her and ruthlessly smashed it at Concubine Shao's feet who had just gotten up, "Bitch! Kneel down! "
Concubine Shao did not know what it was that Old Madame Ye was holding in her hand, but when she saw the old lady's anger, both her legs went soft and she was about to fall onto the ground. Although Su Xin had dodged and supported her quickly, her knees still hit the green brick heavily.
However, the Old Madame Ye was furious, and did not notice anything abnormal about the Concubine Shao at all. Su Xin, who was beside her, had her eyes flicker, but turned a deaf ear to her, and silently knelt to the side.
Old Madame Ye was so angry that her cheeks were trembling, she hatefully threw the sheet of paper in her hands at Concubine Shao, "Look at what you've done! My hundred years of clear reputation in Ye Family have all been destroyed in your hands! "
Concubine Shao endured the pain and anxiously took down a piece of paper that had not fallen to the ground yet. She looked at it and the blood on her face immediately disappeared.
Not only was the matter of Wan Ju's kidnapping written on the wall, it also mentioned how the Third Master Lu had borrowed the reputation of the Ye Family to put money on the table, opened a casino, forcefully sold it for money, forced the sale of good brothels and various other dirty deeds. It was only because it was not in the Yangzhou City but in the surrounding towns that the Third Master Lu had some methods to suppress the anger of the people.
Jin Lan had also borrowed the power of the Manager Shi to investigate the tip of the iceberg. As for the specifics, he would probably need the government's intervention to thoroughly investigate.
However, if he could not handle this matter properly, it would be a fatal blow to his Ye Family, especially Ye Lin's!
That was why the Old Madame Ye was so flustered, to the point that she did not even care about the Concubine Shao's stomach.
"Old granny, this, this is slander, this …" Concubine Shao was anxious and afraid, she had received a large amount of money from her family members as she knew about the issue of the stamp money, and she herself had also participated in it.
As for the others, her elder brother only said that he was doing business in the town, and if he was anxious to ask, he would vaguely say that it was money.
"Defamation?" Old Madame Ye laughed in extreme anger, "The black and white marks on my face and the blood marks of the victims are clear, you mean you want me to slander me!?"
Afraid that the Old Madame Ye would be angered to the point of losing her health, Jin Lan hurriedly advised: "Grandmother, please calm down first. Lan Er has already sent someone to inform Father of this matter, we might be able to save him in time."
Although she hated Ye Lin to the core, she knew that there were still eggs to be seen below the nest. When she got hold of the papers, she had already secretly sent the majority of them to Ye Lin's table, leaving behind these, just in case the old lady was merciful.
Hearing Jin Lan's words, Old Madame Ye heaved a sigh of relief. With Lin'er's connections in the Yangzhou, it shouldn't be too difficult, but …
The Old Granny's cold eyes stared at Concubine Shao, "Pin Yue, bring some people with you and search through Man Ping's house. Also, thoroughly search her house thoroughly for me using the other Bright Autumn Pavilion!"
"Yes." Pin Yue hurriedly went to pick people.
Concubine Shao's face was pale white. Although there was nothing shameful in the Bright Autumn Pavilion, the silver that she had hidden away was all gone once it was found out!
What should he do? What should he do?
She was shivering, cold sweat dripping off her forehead, but the old woman was staring at her and didn't even dare to wipe it off.
Suddenly, Concubine Shao's gaze swept over Su Xin who was kneeling beside her, with a wooden face, her eyes could not help but glaze over. Scenes of the past quickly flashed past her mind.
Su Xin had always been able to guess her thoughts easily, and solved all of her problems perfectly time and time again! At the beginning, when her brother asked for money, she had just been a butler and an old lady was watching over her. She did not have much silver and it was Su Xin's idea to hide it from the old lady and secretly move to the east wall to replace the west wall.
After tasting the sweetness, she didn't want to let it go. After that, the ideas of dealing with her wife, dealing with Second Miss, and even dealing with the old lady, all of them were …
"It's you!" You are the one who harmed me! " Concubine Shao's eyes grew larger and larger as she suddenly raised her head to glare at Su Xin. Her exquisite face was twisted sinisterly as she pointed at her and screamed, "Old granny, it's her! It was all her! It has nothing to do with this servant! "
Everyone in the house, including Jin Lan, were all shocked by the ear-piercing scream. They froze and looked towards Su Xin along the Concubine Shao's hand.
Su Xin was like a rotten log, kneeling straight down with his head lowered, as if she felt everyone's gaze on him. Only then did she slowly raise his head, but instead smiled at Concubine Shao's ferocious face: "Yes, this is all servant's doing."
Seeing that Su Xin had acknowledged her, Concubine Shao was overjoyed. She quickly cried to Old Madame Ye: "Old lady, please listen, this is from her own mouth, she is indeed not going to do anything to me! Please enlighten me, old lady! "
Jin Lan frowned, was Concubine Shao preparing to use Su Xin as a scapegoat? She pondered for a moment, then said: "Su Xin, do you know what kind of crime these are?"
"This servant understands." Su Xin nodded her head, the smile on her face did not change, but changed the topic, "Although it is my fault, but if I do not have the support of my aunt, how can I order others to do anything?"
"You, you …" Concubine Shao did not expect Su Xin to retort, and was about to curse, but she spoke out first.
"Aunt, don't worry. Does Aunt remember what happened in the Shuixie Pavilion thirteen years ago?"
