Jiang Linhan looked at Jiang Jinxin and found nothing unusual on her face.
"Grandma, she's from Aunt Gu's yard." Jiang Linhan had to answer.
"Forget it if you don't teach your children well. Now you can't even teach your servants well. How can Aunt Gu be in charge of the family?" the old lady said angrily.
Jiang Linhan choked for a moment, feeling that the old lady was also talking about herself in her words.
"Grandma, do you want to ask this mother-in-law to ask?" Jiang Jinxin suggested.
"bring it here."
The mother-in-law was quickly brought over and questioned by people from Dali Temple. Although she didn't say anything later, the mother-in-law was still in shock. At that moment, she really thought that the woman's affairs were exposed.
"Slave... this slave has seen the old lady." The mother-in-law stepped forward and saluted. When she saw the old lady, her heart rose again and she felt extremely guilty.
"Where are you today?" the old lady asked in a deep voice.
"Slave...servant is helping in the...big...big kitchen." The mother-in-law said hurriedly. This was what Aunt Gu asked her to go over.
"You've been helping in the big kitchen?" Jiang Jinxin asked curiously, looking her mother-in-law up and down, "Then why are you panicking? What bad things have you done?"
"No...no, this slave didn't do anything." The mother-in-law was so frightened that she felt that the second girl's deep eyes almost penetrated her heart.
"always there?"
"No...no, at first...we were cleaning the backyard." The mother-in-law lowered her head, not daring not to tell the truth.
When she was in front of the hall, she answered that she was helping in the big kitchen, and she did appear in the big kitchen later. The servants in the big kitchen just testified for her, and she was allowed to escape safely.
"Backyard?" The old lady's expression changed. "What did you hear in the backyard? Did you hear... someone calling for help?"
It is said that the wall where the Sixth Prince's accident happened is the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The mother-in-law turned pale with fright and trembled all over: "Old...old lady, no...no, I didn't hear anyone calling for help."
The mother-in-law had something going on in her mind, and it was easy to wonder if this was something that happened to the woman.
"Grandma, why is she so guilty?" Jiang Jinxin asked, looking at her mother-in-law's overreaction.
The old lady looked gloomy: "Didn't you really hear that?"
"The slave really didn't hear it. It was Aunt Gu who arranged for the slave to clean up in the back. Then... later someone came over and shouted that the kitchen was too busy, so the slave went to the kitchen..." the mother-in-law explained nervously.
"Grandma, this mother-in-law is too timid. She answered the same question just now in the hall, but after I asked her about it, she was fine." Jiang Linhan helped the mother-in-law and said.
"Grandma, you'd better ask clearly. If Dali Temple feels it's inappropriate, they may come back." Jiang Jinxin glanced at Jiang Linhan lightly.
"You really didn't hear it?" the old lady pressed.
"No, I swear, I never heard it." This time the mother-in-law gritted her teeth and swore to the sky.
The old lady looked at the mother-in-law carefully, but she couldn't see anything.
Jiang Jinxin sneered in her heart. She didn't bring this woman out just to make her testify against anything. It would be fine if she didn't testify. The other woman was dead in the pool now. Since she didn't hear any calls for help, she meant Without this, no one had died in the backyard.
The matter in Dali Temple was settled, and the old lady's intentions were settled. She finally had the mind to deal with Mrs. Kong's matter. She looked at Mrs. Kong with a stern face and scolded: "What does Mrs. Kong mean? Why did you give those things to Jin Xin?" Extremely poor jewelry and clothes, does she really look down on our prime minister?"
These words have the meaning of blaming the Kong family. Anxinhou Mansion is the Kong family's natal family.
"Mother, I don't know...why you treat Jin'er like this." Mrs. Kong lowered her head sadly, "I don't know about Jin'er's jewelry. If I had known about it earlier, I wouldn't have let Jin'er wear it like this today."
"She really doesn't take our prime minister's house seriously." The old lady was very angry. "If I had known that An Xinhou's house had such a temperament, it would have been impossible for us to get married."
These words made Kong's face turn red.
"From now on, don't have any contact with the Anxin Marquis Mansion." The old lady spoke.
"Yes!" Mrs. Kong is just a daughter-in-law, so she naturally has to listen to the old lady.
"Except for necessary exchanges, stay away from Anxinhou's Mansion from now on. A declining Hou's Mansion dares to entertain our Prime Minister's Mansion like this." The old lady said coldly, thinking about Jiang Linglong's matter, she became even more angry. If Mrs. Kong hadn't passed off the good stuff, it would have been impossible to cause such a scandal.
"That's what mother said." Mrs. Kong was ashamed and angry, her eyes were red.
Jiang Jinxin stretched out her hand to support her and squeezed her hand gently, conveying her concern. She really had to let the old lady say this today, otherwise she would not be able to face the Anxin Hou Mansion without the old lady's help. Support, everything is very inconvenient.
Feeling the warmth between her daughter's fingers, Ms. Kong felt a little calmer.
"Grandma, mother will definitely have less contact with my grandfather's family in the future. If she can't help it, she won't go. Everything will be obeyed by grandma." Jiang Jinxin said softly.
Looking at the supple and generous Jiang Jinxin, the old lady felt a little calmer.
Then he talked about Jiang Linglong's affairs and arranged: "Tomorrow, you send people to each house to give another gift. Just say that today's incident was an accident and these bad things happened. Please also ask the ladies of each house to forget everything today. The bad things will be made up for after the banquet."
This is to cover up Jiang Linglong's affairs as much as possible.
However, the matter has been spread out, and it is impossible to cover it up completely...
The investigation into the assassination of the sixth prince was in full swing.
Not only the Dali Temple, but also the Ministry of Punishment was dispatched. The nearby area was sealed off, and everyone who came and went was checked to see who was in and out of that area and who assassinated the Sixth Prince.
Pei Yicai came back from outside and quietly returned to the house through the back door. She was the concubine of King Ping An, who was the emperor's cousin. They had a good relationship. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was named King Ping An and married the queen. His sister-in-law, her relationship with the emperor became increasingly close.
"Second girl, where have you been?" Pei Yicai entered the courtyard and suddenly saw a woman standing in the corridor looking at her with cold eyes. She turned out to be her nanny. She couldn't help being shocked. She was still late. Suddenly, the correctional mama found out, and she subconsciously moved her hand back: "Mammy, I...I went to see my sister."
The so-called sister, the eldest daughter of King Ping An, the daughter of the most noble family in the entire capital, was named the princess.
"Second girl, didn't you lie?" Mammy asked coldly.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will never lie to anyone." Pei Yiren said hurriedly.
Mammy finally let her go and warned: "A lot of things happened outside. It is said that the sixth prince was assassinated. The princess asked someone to check everyone in the house. If the princess finds out that the second girl is missing from her yard, she will definitely be angry."
"Don't worry, mama, I really went to find the eldest sister. If mama doesn't believe it, you can ask the eldest sister yourself." Pei Yiren said, of course she asked the eldest sister to cover her when she went out. The eldest sister loves her the most.
Every part of her body hurts. How dare you hit her? Next time you go out, people will definitely search for you, little beggar? Beat all the little beggars nearby to death...
