In the dead of night, Danhong quietly followed Grandma Wang out of Yihongyuan.
She saw with her own eyes that Grandma Wang came to the woods behind Yihongyuan and hid in a remote corner burning paper money.
The dancing firelight reflected Grandma Wang's frightened and haggard expression. Danhong approached quietly and heard her chanting while burning: "I didn't kill you, you shouldn't have come to me. I have been tortured by you for a long time without sleeping." Have a good sleep, this time I will burn some paper money for you, you can use it, and don’t pester me anymore."
"Your death has nothing to do with me. It's your own fault and Concubine Wei's fault."
Danhong didn't dare to delay, so she avoided people and went outside Jinqiyuan to give a secret signal. After a while, Jiqin took Mandong to a corner of the garden.
"She is burning paper money, so let that thing stop bothering her."
After saying that, Dan Hong trembled. After seeing such a weird scene, she felt cold and scared.
After Ji Qin stuffed the money into her body, she felt much warmer all over, and she also talked about the news she had received from Xu Miaoyan before.
"Actually, I know that the most unpopular person in the hospital told me that she had nightmares and talked in her sleep." Her expression was a bit complicated. "The princess' condition usually gets worse at night, so she has to kneel all the time. I was out there trying to make amends, and happened to hear Grandma Wang talking in her sleep, so she told me about it."
Xu Miaoyan wanted to repay Dan Hong's favor with the quilt. She could see that Dan Hong was extremely concerned about Grandma Wang's every move, so she told Dan Hong about the sleep talk she had heard and said that the two of them would never forget it.
Ji Qin was also silent for a moment. She didn't expect that the person who provided clues was Xu Miaoyan.
After returning, Ji Qin told Lu Qing what Dan Hong said.
"Should we take action? It's New Year's Eve soon."
It’s a great day, don’t affect everyone’s mood during the New Year.
Lu Qing made up his mind: "Let Wushuang deceive her and deal with her as soon as possible. Don't delay it until next year."
Three days later in the evening, Lu Qing asked Man Dong to go to Yihong Courtyard to invite Grandma Wang over.
Halfway through, the lantern held by Man Dong suddenly went out, and a figure quickly shuttled around, which scared Grandma Wang and grabbed Dan Hong's arm.
"Did you see anything? There's something dirty!"
Mandong looked around and said blankly: "No, I didn't see it."
Danhong also said: "I didn't see it either. What's wrong with you, mama?"
Grandma Wang tried to calm down, but the shadow was wearing something very similar to the clothes Qiao Siyu was wearing on the day she was beaten to death, and it was only wrapped around her, floating back and forth around her, bringing up gusts of sinister wind.
She swallowed and looked down in fear.
No feet, no feet!
She couldn't help but scream: "Ah——!"
"There are ghosts and ghosts! Don't look for me, don't look for me!"
She hid behind Dan Hong in panic, speaking as fast as chanting sutras, but these words obviously did not make her feel at ease.
"It's not me, it's not me. If you want to kill her, don't come to me. I didn't let you strangle her to death. You did it yourself. If you hadn't done it to harm her and her son, His Royal Highness would not have beaten you to death! It wasn't me, Go find her, find her!"
Grandma Wang suddenly caught a glimpse of Mandong. She unconsciously pulled Mandong over and blocked her in front of her.
"It's their Jinshiyuan! The person who harmed you is in Jinshiyuan!"
Danhong and Mandong made a big noise, and the guards guarding the garden came over quickly.
Grandma Wang was so frightened that her face was so pale that she was hiding behind Danhong and Mandong. She murmured to herself: "It's not me, it's not me, it's Concubine Wei. If you want to find her, go find her." Find her..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mandong burst out.
She shook off Nanny Wang and looked at her angrily: "What did Nanny Wang say? It turned out that you were the one who harmed our master and young master! It was you who caused Concubine Wei to be strangled by Concubine Qiao, and you who caused the Third Young Master to be thrown into the pond! "
The guard looked at Grandma Wang and Man Dong hesitantly.
On one side was the maid in charge of the Crown Princess, and on the other was the maid of Concubine Wei. Neither of them dared to offend.
Mandong bulged his eyes: "Still watching?! If you don't arrest her quickly, do you want to wait for His Highness to peel off your skin?!"
The guards trembled, not caring so much, and restrained Grandma Wang.
**
Grandma Wang was arrested, which alarmed Ning Huayue.
Ning Huayue called Lingyun and asked while coughing: "Who arrested Grandma Wang? Why arrest her?!"
She is the mistress of the house, and no one else has the right to deal with the people around her at will!
Lingyun's eyes welled up with tears, and she hurriedly put on Ning Huayue's clothes: "I heard from people that the people in Jinxiyuan said that Grandma Wang deliberately asked Concubine Qiao to go to the garden to seek revenge on Concubine Wei, so she harmed Concubine Wei. and the third young master were injured..."
Ning Huayue clutched her chest and gasped: "Nonsense! Where is the evidence?!"
Lingyun cried and patted her on the back: "You can't go out to catch the cold, otherwise you won't go..."
"No, Grandma Wang must have been unjustly accused. That bitch in Jinxiyuan plotted against her. I have to go there! What did she take me for? People around me will arrest her as soon as they say!"
Ning Huayue gasped three times with every step, so Lingyun had to ask someone to carry a sedan for her to sit on.
After leaving Yihongyuan, Ning Huayue was slightly shocked when she was told that Grandma Wang was already at Hemingyuan.
But she still didn't give up. The person who attacked Lu Qing and Brother Jiu was not Aunt Wang. What else did they want to do to Aunt Wang?
"Hurry up!" she urged again.
All the way to Hemingyuan, Lu Qing stood beside Yan Fuguang, looked at Ning Huayue who looked panicked, knelt down and saluted: "I have seen the Crown Princess."
"Stop pretending to me! You have no right to touch the people around me!"
Ning Huayue's raised finger almost poked Lu Qing's eye. Yan Fuguang's eyes flashed with a hint of impatience, and she pressed down her hand, trying to protect Lu Qing behind her.
Lu Qing avoided his hand and stood fearlessly in front of Ning Huayue, saying in an orderly manner: "Yes or no, the princess's words alone don't count. Listen to what the people present say, and then you can judge the person who judges you." Are you innocent?"
Man Dong stood up and said with righteous indignation: "The slaves heard with their own ears that Grandma Wang asked Concubine Qiao to go to the pond to find Concubine Wei! She had a guilty conscience. None of the slaves saw anything, but she was the only one who was frightened!"
Ning Huayue said coldly: "She was frightened and she was just talking nonsense. How can she take it seriously?"
Lu Qing took a step forward and raised her pale and absent-minded face: "The Crown Princess and Grandma Wang have a deep friendship as master and servant. Can't you tell by looking at her eyes whether it's true or not?"
Ning Huayue stared at Grandma Wang, her fingers gradually tightened, and she suddenly turned away her face.
"I didn't believe it at first, because I had no grudges against Grandma Wang, but when she just asked that dirty thing to take my life, I had to believe it." Lu Qing let go of her hand and wiped it with a handkerchief. Finger, "On the day of the accident, Grandma Wang went to Qinfang Courtyard. After she left, Concubine Qiao went to the garden. There were many people who saw this. The Crown Princess should know about it, right? Oh no, the Crown Princess should be the one responsible for this. The person who knows best is that I thought wrongly before. Why would Grandma Wang be a servant..."
She pretended to be belatedly aware of it and shook her shoulders in fear.
When Grandma Wang saw Yan Fuguang, she almost subconsciously raised her arms to hug Lu Qing. Then she looked at her lonely young lady. She closed her eyes tightly and said decisively: "I admit my mistake, but I didn't mean it. I was just here." When I was chatting with Concubine Qiao, I mentioned Concubine Wei. I don’t know why Concubine Qiao lost her mind at that time. This matter is my fault, and I accept my punishment.”
She didn't want to involve Ning Huayue, and she knew very well that the prince was on the side of Concubine Wei.
Lu Qing looked indifferent and asked softly: "Then what did you mention that made her want my life and my child's life?"
Sweat beaded on Grandma Wang's forehead, and her mind was confused: "Slave, slave, please stop Concubine Qiao from being bored in the house and go out for a walk. The scenery in the garden is beautiful..."
"Really? But that's not what you just said."
"This slave was frightened and was talking nonsense for a moment. It's my fault."
She readily admitted it, but never admitted that she did it on purpose.
Lu Qing smiled: "If you have a clear conscience, I would like to ask where the maid you were leaving from the garden went?"
Grandma Wang shuddered, and her teeth knocked up and down uncontrollably, making a clicking sound.
