Seeing that, although Cheng Mingxue had nothing to say, she could not help but glare at Cheng Xiuhua unwillingly, preparing to bring the Second Madam out of the hall so that she would not hear any of their nonsense.

But Cheng Xiuhua was startled to the point of having her servants stop them, "Why are you all running in such a hurry? This matter had yet to be clarified! Could your mother be the same as Second Grandmother, the culprit behind Third Aunt's death? "

"Pfft, what nonsense are you talking about? Mother isn't such a person." Cheng Mingxue's reputation was already terrible, but she still didn't want her mother to be implicated.

After all, Wen Suxin was King of Qing He's niece, and King of Qing He was the person who protected his the most. After he found out the truth, he definitely wanted to seek justice for Wen Suixin.

Then wouldn't her mother's reputation suffer a calamity as well? Maybe this King of Qing He would do some earth-shattering things in the future.

Moreover, Second Grandmother's family was an aristocratic family, so King of Qing He had to give them some face.

But her mother was in trouble. Not only was her mother not a Venerable family, her uncle had made her a merchant with no power at all.

How could King of Qing He possibly look up to them so highly, and not blame her mother?

"If he isn't that kind of person, then why did he run away?" Cheng Xiuhua glanced at Cheng Xiuhua somewhat sarcastically, before shifting her gaze immediately and looking at Second Madam Shen Lanxin, "Second Madam, when you come back from your dreams at midnight, did you not dream that Third Aunt would come to find you, that you would give her the truth, and that you would give her justice?"

Hearing that, Shen Lanxin's body immediately trembled, and then she stammered: "I … I what. I don't know, I. "Innocent."

"Is he truly innocent, or is he just pretending to be innocent? Can't he just let Xiu Wen come out and take revenge?" Cheng Mingying was really unable to hold back her anger. Back then, when her mother gave birth to her fifth brother, she was only two years old when she passed away.

At that time, she wasn't sensible. She didn't know what it meant to her after her mother died.

However, as she grew older, she realized that she had lost her maternal love. She was also really envious of Cheng Mingxue for having a second wife to love her, unlike how she not only didn't have any playmates, but also had to take care of her fifth brother, Cheng Mingkun.

That was why she put all her energy into poetry.

Second sister is right, if we let Xiu Wen point the right thing, wouldn't we know if the Second Madam is related to this matter? However, if Second Madam takes the initiative to tell him, she might not be implicated by Second Grandmother, and once Xiu Wen is at fault, it will be too late. At that time, Second Madam, you will be blamed for not giving you the chance. " Cheng Xiuhua was only reminding Second Wife Shen Lanxin not to think that everyone was a fool and not to tell them the truth.

When Shen Lanxin heard it, her expression became even more conflicted and hesitant.

Did she mean it or not?

Seeing her conflicted and conflicted look, Cheng Xiuhua became angry again: "Second Madam, why don't you think about the consequences of your cover? Also, Third Aunt is King of Qing He's niece. Also, you have to think for Xiang Xiang's sake. She's still so young, I don't wish for you to be sent to the Manor and never return. "

After going through Cheng Xiuhua's stimulation, Shen Lanxin really couldn't endure the overwhelming guilt and guilt in her heart. She blurted out, "Su Xin was killed by mother, I know … I know all about it. "

"Then you know, hurry up and say it." Cheng Xiuhua said in a stern voice when her body was trembling and she was truly unable to hold it in.

Instantly, Shen Lanxin kneeled down with tears in her eyes.

"Ever since Su Xin had married into the Palace, the authority of the butler naturally went from grandmother's hands to Su Xin's palm. Su Xin was intelligent, and kept the house in order, but her mother felt that Su Xin had surpassed her. She thought that Su Xin had caused her to lose not only the right to become a housekeeper, but also to watch her taking credit in front of her grandmother. So Mother told Su Xin many times to call her out as the butler and listen to her commands. However, Su Xin had never agreed with her mother's request. After that, her mother ordered Doctor Xun to drug Su Xin and her body became weaker and weaker. "

Shen Lanxin really could not stand the condemnation of others. Furthermore, whenever she thought about how she was going to be sent to a village in the countryside, not only would she not be able to come back, she would also relax her mental defenses.

"Then, can you swear to the heavens that all of this is true?" Cheng Xiuhua hurriedly said in order to confirm the possibility of her words.

"It's true, I definitely won't hide anything, or else I'll be struck by lightning." In order to lighten his guilt, Shen Lanxin had to prove to everyone that she was not lying.

"Then let me ask Xiu Wen, how did she identify you?" Just as Cheng Xiuhua finished speaking, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

As expected, after Xiu Wen understood Cheng Guanyue's question, she immediately raised her index finger and pointed at the shocked Second Grandmother.

Suddenly, Second Grandmother sat on the chair behind her. She did not dare recover her senses, and did not dare believe that this matter had happened after so many years.

But the one suffering the most was Cheng Xiuhuan. He had only said a few words, and he had not uttered a single word.

He just hoped that this matter wasn't related to his own mother at all.

Unexpectedly, the result was still so hard for him to accept: "Mother, for the sake of a housekeeper, you want to kill Su Xin? She is your daughter-in-law, and has no enmity with you. How can you be ruthless? "

However, after Second Grandmother heard this, she slowly calmed down. Some of her hands were trembling as she held onto the armrests on both sides of the chair.

"Xiu Huan, my child, I was just distracted for a moment, I did not intentionally want to kill Su Xin."

"Mother, what's the use of saying this now? "If you had shown mercy and thought about my son, Shardt, and Kun'er, you would not have created this embarrassing situation." The more Cheng Xiuhuan said, the more he felt that he had let Su Xin down.

One was his mother, the other his dead wife.

He didn't know what to do.

"Xiu Huan, Mother was wrong. Every time Mother fell asleep, she would dream that Su Xin would seek me for debts and seek for my life. So to uncover the truth now is already the greatest blessing for me. I will go to the main hall and never come out again. " In order to protect this secret, every time Second Grandmother rested, no one would stay by her side to accompany her.

Even if Cheng Wenqing returned to the manor to rest, she would send him to the study room to rest.

As a result, the estrangement between Second Grandmother and her became deeper and deeper.

As a result, other than occasionally going back to pay respects to Eldest Princess, Cheng Wenqing did not interact much with her, and did not want to be too intimate with her.

To him, Second Grandmother was already an old lady, and not as fresh and tasty as the girls outside.
