Mother Lin has already resigned herself to her fate. This is indeed her own death.
In this case, how could she bring trouble to her master again?
Killing her with a stick was the cleanest solution for the sake of the Song family.
But at this moment, Huilan spoke again, "Princess, there is one more thing. Our aunt also lost a large box of jewelry..."
Everyone looked towards her when they heard this.
Huilan knelt straight and glanced at Li Qingyi behind Princess Yuanheng calmly.
Everyone just thought that Huilan was looking at Princess Yuanheng and didn't think much about it.
Li Qingyi looked at Hui Lan with appreciation.
This girl is sober.
After the accident this afternoon, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned a few doubts about the matter, and the girl understood it immediately.
Whether Mother Sun is the real murderer remains to be verified.
Princess Yuanheng glanced at Wei Shicheng, frowned and asked, "Is it possible that there was a thief in Suochun Pavilion, and someone stole Aunt Wen's jewelry in the chaos?"
Hui Lan said: "When my aunt was in trouble, the servants of Suochun Pavilion were not there. When the servant came back, only Mother Sun was sitting at the door of the house. Then the servant rushed into the house and took a look. The servants of Suochun Pavilion were not there. Come back one after another, it is impossible for anyone to have the opportunity to steal things, so the box of jewelry should have been thrown away before the slave came back."
"How much was lost?"
"The cabinet under my aunt's dresser is full of jewelry that my aunt often uses. They are not placed together with other money and jewelry. Therefore, the cabinet is not locked. Only the box is locked. The entire box has been taken away. At least, it’s worth three thousand taels.”
Princess Yuanheng is not stupid either: "If Mama Sun stole the thing, then she would definitely take the box away and hide it. Since she can escape and hide the things, there is no need for you to catch her again and again. "
Mrs. Lin spoke at this time and explained another possibility, "Either, Mother Sun had an accomplice, and the accomplice took the things and left first, while Mother Sun stayed behind to kill Aunt Wen."
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Song Qian.
Sun's mother is Song Qian's person, and her accomplices are naturally Song Qian's people too.
Song Qian's cheeks were red with anger, "What do you mean, madam? I, Song Qian, will kill people and steal money for a mere three thousand taels of jewelry?"...
The second lady said slowly: "You misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just mentioned one of the possibilities. Maybe Mother Sun conspired with others behind your back. Maybe it was that Qiu Chan. ?」
Song Qian looked at Mrs. Lin angrily, choked by her neither soft nor hard words, and looked at Qiu Chan.
Qiu Chan was beaten ten times and she was lying on the spring bench in pain. Seeing this, she fell down from the spring bench anxiously. "Madam, this slave is absolutely not the case! I just went back to Song's house to get cinnabar and handed it to me when I came back." I killed Mama Sun and haven’t done anything since!”
Mother Sun said anxiously: "Princess, I didn't take anything from Aunt Wen!"
She was not beaten to death in a daze, and now there was hope for life again. If she could get rid of the suspicion and not implicate her master, that would be the best!
There is intention to kill, but no fact of killing!
She is not guilty enough to die!
"Princess, this servant has never entered Aunt Wen's house from the beginning to the end!"
Princess Yuanheng's breath froze when she heard this, and Wei Shicheng also frowned deeply.
Since there are still doubts about the matter, the case cannot be closed at this point.
Mother Sun said: "I know that no one will believe this! But when I arrived at Suochun Pavilion, Aunt Wen was already dead!"
These words are really eye-catching.
She didn't kill Aunt Wen, so who did?
Mrs. Lin sneered, "Mother Sun, you clearly admitted it just now, and now you are backing it out. Your words cannot be believed anymore."
Mother Sun wanted to defend herself, but Mrs. Lin said again, "How could I know that this matter is not a matter of your master and servant making up mysteries! This will clear away the suspicion!"
"No slave!"
Sun’s mother denied it.
She had already resigned herself to death just now, but now that things had taken a turn for the better, how could she give up so easily?
"No?" Lin sneered, "Then why didn't you defend yourself just now? Didn't you want to abandon the pawn to save the chariot?"
Mother Sun was speechless.
Song Qian's lips turned purple with anger, and Mrs. Lin almost pointed at her nose and said she was the murderer!
"Since Madam is suspicious, you can ask someone to search! See if the thing is in Qianyun Pavilion!"
Li Qingyi secretly sneered when he heard this, Song Qian, this idiot, played into Lin's hands!
Sure enough, Mrs. Lin looked at Princess Yuanheng, "What do you think, Princess Yuanheng?"
Princess Yuanheng nodded, "Although the things are lost, they will not disappear. Come, go to Qianyun Pavilion and search them carefully."
Mother Sun frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Song Qian, on the other hand, had a cold face, not realizing that the danger was coming, and had a tough look on his face.
Lin glanced at the master and servant, took a step back expressionlessly, stood next to Wei Shiyuan, and said softly: "If you are worried about Brother Ran, why don't you go and see Brother Ran first? You stay here at this time." It doesn’t feel good either.”
Wei Shiyuan really felt uncomfortable, but he had to get a result, "No, I want to see who the murderer is!"
After a pause, he asked again: "Where is Brother Ran?"
Mrs. Lin sighed sadly, "But my brother is at the old lady's place. I only told him that Aunt Wen was seriously ill and couldn't see him now. I didn't dare to tell him the truth. It's just that he will lose his mother in the future. If you I feel sorry for this child, so I can just put her in my name."
Wei Shiyuan looked at her in surprise, with gratitude in his eyes: "Ayun, thank you for being considerate to Brother Ran."
Mrs. Lin smiled warmly, "You and I are one husband and wife, and I will do my duty as a wife at all times."
Li Qingyi looked sideways, admiring Lin's admiration.
This is why she wants to get rid of Lin first!
In this Wei Mansion, apart from the cunning old thief Wei Shicheng, the one she fears the most is the Lin family.
If she disturbed others first to make Mrs. Lin on guard, then it would be even more difficult to get rid of Mrs. Lin in the future.
Now she can also use the first and third rooms to attack from both sides and dig holes for Lin little by little.
After a while, the women who went to search Qianyun Pavilion came back.
For the sake of fairness, among the people who went there were people from Princess Yuanheng, the second lady, the third lady and Song Qian.
No one can do anything under everyone's nose.
Princess Yuanheng saw something in Lingxi's hand and asked, "What is that in your hand?"
"Reporting to the princess, this is a rosewood box that my slave dug out under a sycamore tree in Qianyun Pavilion."
Mother Sun's eyes widened.
Huilan couldn't wait to step forward and identify it, "That's the box! This is the box where our aunt puts her jewelry!"
"No! Impossible!"
Mother Sun looked at the box in disbelief, her face turned livid.
Song Qian's expression also changed, "How is that possible? How could there be this box in my yard? I've been busy today..."
Yes!
She has been busy today!
Qianyun Pavilion was full of girls who came to collect monthly reports. People came and went, and she didn't even notice if someone buried a box in her yard...
Sun's mother's face turned from green to white.
