Her series of thoughts seemed like a riddle, which made everyone more and more curious.
Lu Xinran continued to enter names into the system, but found that no information could be found.
Is the other person too far away from her or not here at all?
She raised her head and looked around blankly, "Sister, do you think everyone who came to the birthday banquet today is here?"
Lu Xinlan remained calm, looked at Tang Quyan in tacit understanding, and then asked her without leaving any trace.
"Who are you looking for? Let me see if it's over here?"
"Pei Xiuzhuo, the third son of Dingkang Hou Mansion."
"who?"
Lu Xinlan thought she had heard wrongly. Dingkanghou Mansion was Pei's natal family, and Pei Xiuzhuo was their cousin.
"You mean, cousin of the Pei family?"
"Um."
Lu Xinran has realized the identity of the other party, but what does it have to do with her.
She just came back from the countryside. The Lu family didn't make a special trip to introduce her to relatives and outsiders. She didn't know anyone and didn't need to give anyone face.
Pei's heart kept sinking as she patrolled the crowd in Kanghou Mansion.
Brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece-in-law... She looked at them one by one and saw that all the younger members of the Pei family were in the crowd, except for Pei Xiuzhuo.
[The note was written by Pei Xiuzhuo to Zhou Zhengya, but before that, Zhou Zhengya had someone send him a message. 】
Seeing this, her eyes immediately turned to the other maid kneeling on the ground.
"Sister, why did Mr. Tang only interrogate one of the maids? Maybe the other maid is the one who knows everything."
When Qingye on the ground heard this, he lay on the ground trembling and crying.
"Two adults, I really don't know anything. I'm just a second-class maid beside the girl. I can't serve the girl closely. I really don't know anything."
[Lying with a strong mouth, she was the one who sent the message to Pei Xiuzhuo. Zhou Zhengya only took her with him when she met Pei Xiuzhuo in private before. 】
[This maid is called Qingye, let me see why she is so stubborn. 】
After searching Aoba's name in the system, I got a pamphlet.
She rushed in excitedly and clicked her tongue instantly.
[It turns out that this Qingye was sent to Zhou Zhengya by Pei Xiuzhuo, or a few years ago. 】
[A few years ago...Zhou Zhengya was only eleven or twelve years old, right? His back molars hadn't grown sharp yet, so he just gave it away? ! Isn't he a pedophile pervert? 】
Everyone who was eavesdropping immediately widened their eyes and looked at everyone in Dingkang Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Lao Hou tapped her crutch hard, hoping that someone would come forward and drag Lu Xinran down to tell her not to talk nonsense!
Before this thought could arise, the emperor heard the movement and glanced over coldly.
Her back instantly became cold and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to show any emotion.
Song Junyan had already asked his men to look for Pei Xiuzhuo. As long as he was still in Ronghui Garden, he had to bring him here.
Lu Xinran was still immersed in the joy of peeling off cocoons, and kept flipping through several pamphlets.
[Qingzhu has been helping Pei Xiuzhuo create opportunities to meet each other over the years, delivering letters and tokens, and also told Pei Xiuzhuo all her preferences. 】
[The other party liked him so much that Zhou Zhengya always thought that he was her lover. When she found the opportunity, she went out of the house to meet him. 】
[Pei Xiuzhuo had a courtyard in Qingpingfang, and she would have private meetings with him there when she left the house. 】
[Hmm, why do everyone like to go to Qingpingfang to buy a yard? The Zhou family and his son have a yard there, right? 】
[So this is... I feel too weak after coming out of the building. Do you want to take a rest nearby? 】
Lu Xinlan squeezed her wrist skillfully and expressionlessly, her voice was interrupted, and Lu Xinran looked confused and aggrieved.
Why pinch her again!
You can also pinch it while holding it!
Her wrist must be green with a hint of purple!
"Sister, I really think there is something wrong with this Qingye. Do you want to tell Mr. Tang and let him have a good trial? If she refuses to tell the truth, she will be tortured! She will definitely dig something out."
Tang Quyan, who was not far away from them: "..."
Is his presence so obscure?
Can he hear these words?
He waved to his men: "Drag her down and torture her carefully to find out the relationship between her and Pei Xiuzhuo."
Qingye was still holding on to some luck, but when he heard him mention his real master, he instantly became really nervous.
"Sir, this slave really doesn't know anything, sir..."
"Before sitting down today, someone saw you leaving Shuixie. Where did you go?"
Lu Xinlan pressed the back of Lu Xinran's hand, signaling her not to rush.
Although she didn't hear any more details from her voice, she still deduced when Zhou Zhengya would choose to send a message to Pei Xiuzhuo.
Qingye panicked and froze for a moment.
"My slave, my slave has not left the waterside pavilion."
"You're lying!" Hongmei suddenly shouted: "My lord, I don't know what the girl said to her before we sat down. She left for a quarter of an hour before coming back."
Qingye was still thinking about what to say, but Hongmei was already crying and started talking again: "Sir, she is not a second-class maid. The girl promoted her to a first-class maid at the beginning of the year. In order to promote her to be a first-class maid, she also... "
She couldn't continue what she said, but her inner voice gave everyone the answer.
[Kill the first-class maid who was replaced. 】
[The master and servant arranged for her to commit adultery with the servants in the mansion. When Fang Suxin learned about it, in front of all the servants in the Zhou mansion, she was pressed on a stool and beaten to death. 】
There was a sound of gasping. Lu Xinran glanced at it suspiciously, and then continued to flip through the booklet.
[After the maid was beaten to death, Aoba became a first-class maid. She just didn't officially announce this, but she took the status of a first-class maid. 】
[And after she became a first-class maid, Hongmei was marginalized like a second-class maid. She couldn't get involved in the affairs of the house. She really didn't know anything. 】
Everyone listened to this series of thoughts, looked at Qingye lying on the ground, and then looked at the servants around them, they always felt a chill running down their spines, everyone seemed to have something wrong with them.
"Delay it, use torture directly, interrogate carefully, don't beat the person to death."
Song Junyan gave the order directly with a cold face, and the guards came forward to drag him away. Qingye was so frightened that he peed his pants.
"I confess, I confess everything, don't use torture, don't use torture."
She was so panicked that she didn't care about anything anymore. She explained how she listened to Zhou Zhengya's explanation, sent a message to Pei Xiuzhuo before the banquet started, and received the note from his servant during the banquet, leading Zhou Zhengya to leave the waterside pavilion. , explain everything.
"Sir, the girl left alone. She didn't let the slave follow her. I really don't know what happened after she left."
She didn't dare to tell the truth just now because she was afraid that Zhou Zhengya's death would involve her.
"Who sent the note? Is it the little Eunuch Chen that Hongmei talks about?"
"This," Qingye hesitated. Seeing the guard walking toward her again, he hurriedly confessed honestly: "Yes, it's the young man next to Mr. Pei who has changed into palace clothes."
