Chapter 37 Questioning
"It really is you! I knew you were going to kill me, Yi Yao, can you hear me? She admitted it!"

Yao Yurou was overjoyed and said sharply.

The more Yao Yurou thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and she knew that Gu Yunxi had something to do with it.

So he pointed at Gu Yunxi and said to everyone, "It's her! She framed her sister-in-law, and now she wants to blame me!"

The more people present, the more confused they became. How could Second Miss Lin be involved.

Gu Yunxi kept a calm face from the beginning to the end, and did not refute Yao Yurou's words, but Yao Yurou seemed more aggressive.

"What are you arguing about! With such a demeanor, you look like a noble lady!" Mrs. Liu scolded unbearably.

Madam Liu's dislike was so straightforward, even though Yao Yurou's face was still blue and purple, everyone could see a trace of embarrassment on her face.

Yao Yurou's palm had already been pinched bloody, and no one had ever dared to say that about her!
But Mrs. Liu is the regent's aunt, so she can only endure it!

"Is Mrs. Liu planning to blatantly defend this Second Miss Lin?" Madam Prime Minister asked.

Mrs. Prime Minister looked at Mrs. Liu, the anger in her eyes was undisguised.

Ever since Yao Bosong was promoted to prime minister 11 years ago, no wife has treated her with respect.

Since when has she ever been so useless, she is naturally extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Liu!

Mrs. Liu said with a cold "hum":

"Your prime minister is discerning, fair and honest. How can you marry a wife who is so indiscriminate between right and wrong, even a well-educated daughter is extremely stupid!"

"You!" The prime minister's wife was furious, and was speechless again.

In the officialdom, even the opponents have at least maintained a superficial peace, and no one has ever dared to speak so bluntly.

"Madam Liu may as well speak up if you have something to say, why bother to humiliate our mother and daughter like this."

The prime minister's wife, even a fool, could tell that Mrs. Liu was deliberately targeting the prime minister's residence.

"Humiliation? To tell the truth is also called humiliation?" Mrs. Liu sneered.

"Then I don't know why my mother and daughter are so stupid? I also ask Mrs. Liu to enlighten me!"

The prime minister's wife suppressed the anger in her heart and asked respectfully.

"A veil, Miss Lin has not said anything yet, Miss Yao is so anxious to identify Miss Lin, I thought Miss Yao was guilty!"

The faces of the mother and daughter were exactly the same, but Mrs. Liu didn't seem to notice, and continued:
"Isn't it stupid enough to jump to conclusions without asking indiscriminately?"

Every time Mrs. Liu sees people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will inevitably think of the deceased Princess Chaoyun.

Although Shen Zhi secretly investigated the cause of Chao Yun's death, all clues showed that Chao Yun's death had nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But Mrs. Liu has always been suspicious. The servants that Princess Chaoyun brought to the prime minister's mansion back then disappeared or died of illness.

It is too coincidental that no one is still alive in this world.

On the contrary, she couldn't help but guess that Chao Yun's death might have something to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Coupled with the extreme hypocrisy of the mother and daughter, Mrs. Liu didn't bother to flirt with the two, so she simply had a good time!
The prime minister's wife was so angry that her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

Yao Yurou's breathing became even more disturbed, her eyes were red, and she had to bow her knees and salute, "Thank you Madam for your teaching."

Everyone heard a feeling of gnashing their teeth.

"It's good for Ms. Yao to know. From now on, she should try to speak as little as possible, so as not to make people laugh." Mrs. Liu said.

"Yes." No matter how dissatisfied Yao Yurou was, no matter how angry she was, she could only hold back.

Mrs. Liu did not continue to embarrass her mother and daughter, but looked at Gu Yunxi and asked:
"Why is Miss Lin's handkerchief here?"

"When the servant girl came to change her clothes, she accidentally left it here." Gu Yunxi replied calmly.

"Did Second Miss Lin hit Qiao'er?" Madam Liu asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Yes, Qiao'er was indeed beaten by the court lady." Gu Yunxi said.

Everyone wondered why Miss Lin beat up a maid, it couldn't have been her intentional frame-up, right?
The old lady held Gu Yunxi's hand with some force.

She didn't know what happened, but after all, both granddaughters were involved in this matter, which was really not a good thing in her mind.

"Qiao'er acted suspiciously. The servant girl had no choice but to knock her out. Please forgive me, madam."

Gu Yunxi ignored everyone's eyes, held Mrs. Lin's hand back, and said calmly with downcast eyes.

After all, Qiao'er is a maid of the Taifu's Mansion, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog. She really didn't take into account the face of the Taifu's Mansion when she beat the dog.

After all, if the servants make mistakes, the mistress should punish them, there is no reason for outsiders to do it privately.

But Mrs. Liu didn't seem to care, but asked, "Did you faint?"

Gu Yunxi replied: "Yes, I felt dizzy as soon as I entered the room, and then I realized that there was something wrong with the incense in the room, and I saw Qiaoer sneaking around outside, so I did it out of desperation."

As soon as these words were said, everyone present immediately understood the whole story.

It turned out that this scheme was specifically aimed at Second Miss Lin, but Second Miss Lin was smart and escaped in time, but for some reason it was Miss Lin who got caught in the end.

"No wonder Wutong next to Ms. Yao would say that she came to the West Wing to see the excitement, and she wanted to see Miss Lin Er."

"If that's the case, what the maid next to Miss Lin seems to be telling the truth."

"But why did Miss Yao frame the two young ladies of the Lin family?"

"What else could it be? In my opinion, it's for the position of Princess Regent. Once these two are removed, the position of Princess Regent can only be hers."

The whispered voices of the crowd reached Yao Yurou's ears, her whole body was trembling with anger, but she didn't know how to refute.

If there is no Gu Yunxi's handwriting in it, she doesn't believe it.

If Lin Yiyao had such ability, she would not have been fooled around by her before!
"Just knocked out? Then why is Qiao'er dead in the room now?" Mrs. Liu asked a little puzzled.

Just when everyone in the courtyard was puzzled by their predicament, a male voice sounded.

"I'm afraid it was the murderer's work."

Li Yanjun stood among the crowd and said solemnly.

"Why did Mr. Li say that?" Mrs. Liu asked.

After saluting Mrs. Liu, Mr. Li said: "Whether the frame-up is successful or not, Qiao'er must die. Because only the dead can't open their mouths, so there will be no evidence for death."

"It makes sense." Mrs. Liu turned her head to look at Yao Yurou: "Miss Yao, can you come and live in the West Wing courtyard today?"

"No, I only passed by the corridor outside the west wing courtyard before eating, and never entered it." Yao Yurou said without changing expression.

"Then I don't know if Miss Yao and Qiao'er can get along?" Mrs. Liu continued to ask.

"Of course not." Yao Yurou immediately vetoed it.

Of course she has a relationship with Qiao'er, but at this stage, she can't admit it no matter what!
She is a young lady from an aristocratic family, and she has contacts with the maids in the Taifu's mansion. If there is nothing tricky about it, no one will believe it.

"Miss Yao and Qiao'er don't know each other either?" Mrs. Liu asked again.

Yao Yurou's heart was beating violently at this time, but she could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't know."

"You really don't know Ms. Yao?" Mrs. Liu asked again.

Yao Yurou squeezed the handkerchief tightly, but still replied, "I don't know."

"Since Ms. Yao and Qiao'er don't know each other, and have never been to the West Wing, how could Ms. Yao's handkerchief appear in the West Wing?!"

Mrs. Liu asked, seemingly puzzled.
