“Madam, do you really believe her?”
After Su Xiaoxiao left, the trusted nanny asked Madam Pavilion Master.
Madam Pavilion Master looked at the letter in her hand and a complicated look flashed across her eyes. “The year Mother-in-law pa.s.sed away, I guarded the mourning hall for seven days and seven nights. Before the funeral, I seemed to have seen my old sister-in-law. I thought that I was too tired and was seeing things. I didn’t mention this to anyone. It’s impossible for her to deceive me with this matter unless my sister-in-law really came back.”
The trusted nanny was puzzled. “But why does Miss have contact with people from the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Madam Pavilion Master looked at Su Xuan’s handwriting. “The person who wrote this letter might not be from the Hundred Flowers Palace. What did Sister-in-law discover back then?”
After Madam Pavilion Master married into the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law. Back then, when she found out that her sister-in-law had contracted leprosy, she had gone everywhere to seek treatment for her.
Unfortunately, before she could find a famous doctor, her sister-in-law escaped from Thousand Mountain Island.
There had been no news of her sister-in-law for so many years. She thought that she had already died in a foreign country.
The trusted nanny said cautiously, “Even so, it can’t prove that what the letter said is true. Perhaps they only know Eldest Miss and fabricated these contents to sow discord between you, the Pavilion Master, and Heavenly Jade Hall.”
Madam Pavilion Master nodded. “Your suspicion is not unreasonable.”
In the room, Ling Yun was sharply accused by Min Ningwan.
Throughout the entire process, she did not mention Ling Yun’s background, as if she knew nothing about it. She only blamed everything on Yun Xi’s hatred for her daughter.
She portrayed her daughter as a complete victim.
However, what she really presented to Xiahou Qing was:
Many years ago, Yun Xi poisoned Ji Wanru.
Many years later, Yun Xi’s son poisoned Ji Wanru’s son again.
Like mother, like son.
Min Ningwan said seriously, “Arrest him!”
The disciples of the Heavenly Jade Hall swarmed forward.
Wei Ting immediately stood in front of Ling Yun.
The Palace Lord said coldly, “Let’s see who dares!”
Lou Bufan suggested, “City Lord, this is a serious matter. Why don’t we detain him in the prison of the City Lord Manor first?”
“What happened? Is it just a prison? Today is Yu’er’s big day.”
Madam Pavilion Master walked in dignifiedly.
Min Ningwan choked and looked at the pavilion master’s wife. “In-law! Yun Lin poisoned Chen’er. The evidence is conclusive!”
Madam Pavilion Master looked surprised. “Oh?”
Cai Lian told him what had happened.
The trusted nanny exclaimed, “That’s not right, Madam. I saw Young Palace Lord Yun coming out of the room. I even went forward and asked Young Palace Lord Yun why he was here. He said that Steward Chang brought him over and left when there was no one in the room. I was worried and entered the room to take a look. There was indeed no one. The young master was sleeping soundly and didn’t look like he was poisoned.”
Cai Lian hurriedly said, “Could… could you have seen wrongly? Or could it be that the poison hasn’t acted up at that time?”
The trusted nanny said indifferently, “The young master was poisoned with ten miles of incense. Once the stopper is opened, the entire house will be filled with fragrance. I’m old but not dead. Can’t I even smell the fragrance in the house?”
Cai Lian choked.
The Palace Lord said, “With Madam Pavilion Master’s trusted aide as evidence, my son should be cleared of suspicion, right? Or do you suspect that Madam Pavilion Master is in cahoots with me?”
Madam Pavilion Master mocked indifferently, “I’m afraid I’m not worthy of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
“Hmph.”
The Palace Lord rolled her eyes without backing down.
No one would believe that Madam Pavilion Master’s personal nanny would appear and testify for the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Lou Bufan did not believe it.
It could only be explained that Yun Lin’s luck was indeed too good.
Madam Pavilion Master knew nothing about Yun Lin’s background and did not get involved in the old matters between the Hundred Flowers Palace and Madam Ru. She only did what the mistress of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion should do.
Lou Bufan cleared his throat and said to Xiahou Qing, “Looks like it was a misunderstanding. City Lord, don’t worry. This happened in the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion. I will definitely find the real culprit.”
The Palace Lord chuckled. “You don’t have to apologize for slandering others, right?”
Ling Yun said calmly, “I don’t care.”
The Palace Lord mocked, “That’s true. A late apology is cheaper than gra.s.s!”
It was unknown who she was scolding. In short, the expressions of Lou Bufan and Xiahou Qing expressions did not look good.
Wei Ting said, “Mother, Brother, let’s go.”
After the three of them left, Ji Minglou said to Madam Ru, “Give the child to Mom. Come out for a while.”
Madam Ru gave the young master to Min Ningwan and went to Madam Ji’s room with Ji Minglou.
