Xu Nuo was relieved. No wonder Qi Qi was able to go in and out of Xu Mansion many times without being discovered by the gatekeepers. In addition to her intelligence, she also relied on her innate advantage of having a low sense of presence. 【Read the latest chapter】
After understanding this, he immediately walked out.
Qi Qi hurriedly followed, only to hear Xu Nuo ask: "What did you want to tell me just now?"
"Manager Jiang, who came to look for Alang just now, carefully interrogated the people who left the house the day before yesterday." Qiyue's voice was very low, but Xu Nuo heard it clearly.
In July, he tactfully told his father that he was looking for someone who had spread the news that "Xu Liu Niang was the unfilial son of a poisonous mother".
Thinking of his father's reaction when he left, after thinking about it for a while, some things became clear to him.
After returning home, Xu Nuo happily ate a large bowl of plain noodles with a plate of preserved egg and tofu, and then asked Chun Tang and Qi Qi to eat something too.
Chuntang was puzzled: "Why are you in such a hurry to have dinner?" It usually takes an hour.
Xu Nuo smiled slyly: "You will thank me later. Go and change into new clothes. I will go to Fourth Sister's place later. Don't let me lose face." There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
When several people arrived at Lianyi Pavilion, there were already many people in the courtyard.
From a distance, I heard the woman's voice begging for mercy: "Alang, this is because I was blinded by lard. If you want to beat me or punish me, I will admit it. It's just that my brother is the only child in the family. I hope you can Be merciful, he only thought that the small medicine was to detoxify the dog, so he gave it to me, and this matter had nothing to do with him."
It was Zijuan's voice.
After Xu Nuo heard this, his face suddenly turned bad.
My father moved so fast, it seemed that he was here very quickly after leaving the study, but that was not the point. The key point is that Xu Qian's maid actually had to bear all the blame for the crime and picked off the real master.
A maid poisoning the wife of a fourth-grade official is a proper death penalty!
Zi Juan is actually willing to die for Xu Qian?
There are many people in Lianyi Pavilion, but there are no extra people.
Chuntang and Qiyue were blocked from outside, and Xu Nuo went to the crowd alone. Zijuan was seen kneeling three steps away from her father. Her hair was a little scattered, the golden hairpin hanging in her hair was about to fall, and her delicately painted face was covered with tears.
Mrs. Lu was being supported by Granny Li, her expression was not very good, and her eyes were wandering between Xu Qian and Zijuan.
Xu Qian stood on the right side of Xu Gucheng, with some anger on her face.
Seeing Xu Qian's expression, Xu Nuo almost laughed.
This white lotus really looks like it.
You can almost imagine what happened after your father arrived at Lianyi Pavilion. He went straight to the point and talked about Zijuan's brother. Although Xu Qian was frightened, she did not panic. She pretended to be angry and invisibly put all the blame on Zijuan.
Zijuan could not escape regardless of whether she had to bear the crime or not. She could only adapt to the situation and have it all on her, hoping that Xu Qian would remember her kindness and treat her family well.
Xu Nuo glanced at his father. His face was calm, with a bit of hatred flashing in his eyes. He must have hated the person who hurt his wife and ruined his daughter's reputation.
Xu promised that his father would find out about the matter, but he couldn't guarantee whether his father would be ruthless enough to investigate Xu Qian, or at least doubt Xu Qian.
Zijuan had no reason to harm Lu. Someone must have instructed her to do so. Even a fool could have discovered the loopholes in what she just said.
Sure enough, Xu Gucheng glanced at Zijuan, glanced at Xu Qian with his peripheral vision, and said slowly: "What's the reason?"
Why do you do this, what is the reason for doing this, and who instructed it?
Zijuan's body was trembling and she was stammering when she spoke: "Little... I don't dare to say anything."
"As long as what you say is true, I will keep your parents safe." Xu Gucheng's voice was cold, and he obviously cared about the person behind him.
Zijuan kowtowed three times after hearing the thump, then raised her eyes to look at Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo felt vaguely bad. What did Zijuan do to herself at this time?
Before she could think about it, Zijuan's voice came to her ears: "It's the medicine that the Sixth Lady asked me to find. I don't know what the Sixth Lady is going to do. If I know that the Lady has given the medicine to you, Madam, I'll be brave enough to expose you." I won’t dare to give her medicine until the end of the day.”
After hearing this, Xu Nuo clenched her hands in her sleeves tightly, her face still maintained the same expression as before, but her eyes looked around the circle of people.
Lu glanced at Zijuan angrily, and then looked at herself worriedly, obviously not believing what Zijuan said.
Xu Qian opened her mouth in surprise, her lips trembled a little, and she shook her head slightly. The expression on her face was spot on, but Xu Nuo still found that her body suddenly lost all the tension she had suppressed before.
Xu Gucheng's expression did not change at all, and he continued to ask: "You are from Siniang's courtyard, why would Liu Niang come to you?"
Zijuan wiped the tears on her face and choked up: "Xiao Niang often accompanied Si Niangzi to visit Liu Niangzi. Liu Niangzi may have had an influence on Xiao Niang, but Xiao Xiao didn't know how she knew about Xiao Niang's brother. I work in a medical clinic."
The implication is that she promised the people around her to tell her about this, and perhaps also promised to make plans with the people around her to harm Mrs. Lu.
Zijuan's two sentences brought the problem back to the beginning. Even if she and her brother were found out, Xu Nuo still became the key to the problem. But the point is that Xu Nuo has lost his memory now, and nothing can be traced.
Xu Nuo realized that she had underestimated Xu Qian and the first-class maid beside her.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu's face changed drastically, and Grandma Li's face also darkened.
Xunuo let go of the hand in his sleeve, walked up quickly, kicked Zijuan down, and said loudly: "Is this your reason? Could you please tell me why I did this?"
Everyone was shocked by Xu Nuo's move, and Ms. Lu rushed over to hug Xu Nuo: "Liu Niang, mother believes in you. Your father will find out and clear your name."
Xunuo glanced at Zijuan and saw that she had fallen to the ground and had not gotten up yet.
She showed no mercy with this kick. Zijuan must have been in pain and couldn't get up, rather than pretending.
Xu Gucheng glanced at Xu Nuo, his expression still calm: "Don't be angry, didn't Grandma Li teach you what a lady should be like?"
Xu Nuo felt warm in her heart. Her father said this, obviously trusting him extremely: "My child knows his mistake and won't do this again. It's just that she talked nonsense like this, and my child couldn't help but get angry."
Xu Gucheng didn't answer, and asked someone to hold Zijuan up: "Panzui."
After saying this, the mother-in-law came over.
After twenty slaps, Zijuan's face was swollen and her mouth was bleeding.
Xu Gucheng would not be aggressive with his servants casually, but Zijuan's words just now clearly touched his bottom line.
Zijuan was so regretful that her intestines were green. She thought it was a good idea, but her cleverness was mistaken. Alang's trust and love for Liu Niangzi exceeded her imagination.
When he was slapped, another rhetoric came to mind.
Regardless of the pain in his body, he knelt forward and begged: "I don't know the heights of the world, so I lied in front of A Lang. In fact..."

ps: These chapters should be the climax and are very important, but the author’s coding conditions are limited, so I feel like I didn’t write them well. I’m so sad. I’m sorry to everyone.
