All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Su Chengye saw that his mother was refuted by the second daughter-in-law for defending herself.

He was even more inexplicably identified as the murderer, blushing with anger.

Su Chengye: "Sister-in-law's words are simply nonsense. My father, my second brother, and I rushed back from Tongwuguan overnight when we learned that my grandmother had passed away. They were not in the capital at all. How could I harm my grandmother?"

He turned his head to look at Su Chengming, "Second brother, are you going to let your sister-in-law go on like this?"

Su Chengming, who was named, was lost in thought at first, but when he heard this, he quickly came back to his senses, smiled mischievously, stood up from his chair, and walked to Xie Wanyan's side.

He looked as if he was defending Xie Wanyan, but in fact, the hand hidden behind his back kept pulling at the corner of Xie Wanyan's clothes, winking at her desperately, signaling her not to go too far.

Xie Wanyan's eyes were red with anger, how could she listen to him, she willfully shook off his hand.

"Brother's words are wrong. Although you are not in the capital, sister-in-law is here..."

She walked in front of Zheng Yurong, "My sister-in-law has been in charge of the middle school all these years, because of Uncle Jiu's non-stop payment of money, she has been caught between the old ancestor and mother-in-law, hasn't she suffered a lot?"

Mrs. Zheng didn't know what she meant, she sat up slightly, her voice was weak, "It is my duty as a daughter-in-law to share the worries of my ancestors and mother-in-law. Both of them are kind-hearted and soft-faced elders, and they have never made things difficult for me. , I never felt wronged."

Xie Wanyan clicked her tongue twice.

"The most I can't see you, sister-in-law, looking so desperate for face." She mocked.

"The old ancestor is a one-sided character, and the mother-in-law has always been the most respectful. At the end of the year, when the money on the Zhuangzi and the shop has not been recovered, Uncle Jiu will send out a large sum of money. It will get a bad reputation."

"But if it is given, the expenses for food and clothing for the New Year's Eve in the mansion will be reduced. During the festival, it is as small as clothing and food, and as large as the furnishings in the mansion. They are all shabby, making people laugh, hurting the uncle's face, and mother-in-law. Will not like it. It is difficult for both parties to explain."

Zheng Shi moved her lips, wanting to refute.

But what Xie Wanyan said was indeed true, she was unable to refute a word in the end, she just supported her head and pretended to have a splitting headache.

Seeing that she was speechless, Xie Wanyan finally felt more at ease.

"As for me, my ancestors are partial to me, and I can't turn around for a while. I just try to find a trick in front of my ancestors, act like a good boy, and just push and procrastinate. But sister-in-law, you can't get rid of this embarrassment. You have to hold on every time, and take My own dowry comes out to turn around, once or twice is enough, it is like this every time, how can I not feel resentment in my heart?"

Zheng Yurong finally realized what she was going to say, raised his eyes, and looked at her in astonishment, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" She asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that you want to say that my ancestors were harmed by me?"

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"

Xie Wanyan raised her eyebrows, "Except for you, me and Mama Xie, who would know that there is such a loophole in the money that Uncle Jiu took away? Mama Xie is just a lowly servant, how dare she dare to do this?"

"If you ask me, Mother Xie must have been instructed by you to engrave Uncle Jiu's private seal and secretly send money out to lend money. I didn't expect the incident to happen. You were afraid that your ancestors would know about your grudges, so you killed your ancestors." , yes or no?"

Zheng Yurong was so angry that sweet smell rose in her throat, "Mother Xie and I have never had a personal relationship..."

"Hey, with such a big piece of evidence up front, why don't you say you have no personal relationship?"

Xie Wanyan interrupted her with a smile, and pointed to Zhao Chunlan who was kneeling next to Lianqiao, "This week's Zhou's family is the steward next to you, right? She is Lianqiao's biological aunt. You are not only related, but also relatives." Woolen cloth!"

As she was speaking, she suddenly thought of something, covered her lips and smiled, "Ah, by the way, didn't my mother-in-law just say that Lian Qiao is pregnant with an evil seed..."

Xie Wanyan's gaze flicked back and forth between Su Chengye and Lianqiao, and then landed on Grandma's face, shaking her handkerchief and laughing: "Could it be that in Lianqiao's stomach is the seed of elder brother?"

The more she talked, the more she felt that she had guessed this matter, "Tongwu Pass to the capital is only a two-day journey at a fast pace. The elder brother is free, and there is time to go back to Beijing to sow seeds. No wonder Xie Mama and Lian Qiao is determined to work for your big house, co-authoring is because she wants to fly to the branches and become a phoenix!"

Lianqiao, who was lying on the ground, trembled when she heard this.

When Su Chengye heard this, his face turned livid, "Crazy, crazy, talking nonsense, I think you are crazy."

Su Chengming also hurried forward and tugged on Xie Wanyan's sleeve again, with a look of anxiety on his calm face just now.

Grandma Zheng Yurong only thought it was extremely ridiculous, and her face turned paler, "My husband has always restrained himself and returned to courtesy, and would never do such a thing..."

Xie Wanyan interrupted her, "Whether he did such a thing or not is all hidden from you, how do you know?"

As if responding to her words——
At this moment, the embroiderer led a servant and came in from the outside.

As soon as the maid entered the hall, she knelt down on the ground and raised a jade pendant above her head, "The servant just found this jade pendant in Lianqiao's Xinyi box, please take a look at it..."

Shen Lingxi, who had been watching the show with cold eyes, saw the jade pendant found by the maid.

Recalling what Zhao Chunlan told the servants before leaving Mama Xie's yard: "Grandma has an order to search the house inside and out, and if any useful clues are found that can help the embroiderer and uncle investigate the case, Reward ten taels of silver."

At that time, Shen Lingxi only felt that Zhao Chunlan's behavior was very strange, as if she was sure that something would be found out.

Now, seeing this jade pendant, Shen Lingxi finally understood.

This is probably a bureau!

She turned to look at grandma Zheng Yurong, and then at grandpa Su Chengye.

They were all at a loss when they saw the appearance of the servant girl and the jade pendant.

On the contrary, Zhao Chunlan, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have suddenly relaxed in her silent figure.

And Xie Wanyan, who was standing not far from her, turned her eyes to look at the jade pendant, and suddenly clapped her hands and laughed.

"Hey! Isn't this the elder brother's jade pendant?"

Xie Wanyan laughed out of joy, "The baby in Lianqiao's womb is indeed the elder brother's. Are you husband and wife... you are shooting yourself in the foot!"

Su Chengye looked at the jade pendant and frowned.

He stood up, strode to the maidservant, and reached out to get the jade pendant——
But Xie Wanyan grabbed it first.

Xie Wanyan pinched the jade pendant on her fingertips and showed it to everyone, "My uncle loved to collect ancient jades the most during his lifetime. When a boy from the Su family was born, the old man would personally select the jade material, find a skilled craftsman to carve it into a jade pendant, and give it as a gift."

"Except for the father-in-law's jade pendant, Mr. Nanshan has personally carved his name on the jade pendant of all males. If I remember correctly, the jade pendant of eldest brother is made of topaz!"

Her gaze swept across Su Chengye with a complicated expression, and landed on Lianqiao who was lying on the ground and dared not raise her head.

She covered her lips and sneered: "Hiding this jade pendant in your heart clothes, you lowly maidservant is really disgusting."

She looked up at the eldest grandma Zheng Yurong again, and said with a teasing smile: "Sister-in-law is really magnanimous, for the sake of money, she is willing to let a lowly maidservant conceive the eldest son of your eldest son."

"Now the evidence is convincing. I'll pass on to you what the poor maid said just now. This is the end of the matter. The evidence is conclusive. Sister-in-law, just admit it..."
