Chapter 109 Who is the Murderer?

Chapter 109 Who is the Murderer?

From Aunt Tang's main courtyard, it is not far to reach the destination, and it only takes 5 minutes to walk.

After stopping, Aunt Tang was really taken aback when she saw the familiar courtyard in front of her.

"This, this is not..."

A little girl sweeping in the yard saw it, threw down her broom and ran over in a hurry.

"Ma'am, Ms. Ye is here, I'll report to Eldest Mistress!"

That girl was a little nervous, her palms were sweating.

After all, Madam has never come directly like this before. Usually, people will come over to say hello in advance, and there will be many people waiting in advance.

In that case, it would not be her turn to come out as a little girl.

After the little girl finished speaking, she saluted and hurried in.

Aunt Tang and the others did not wait in place, they also went in together.

Soon, Mrs. Tang was supported and came out with a big belly.

Aunt Tang waved her hand: "Go back to your room and sit down first, there is no need to be polite."

Even so, the eldest young mistress saluted with some difficulty, and said with a light smile: "Why did mother come over suddenly, and no one said hello in advance?"

Aunt Tang smiled and said, "I have to come here to ask you about some things. Isn't Jiaojiao investigating the case? If you know something, you should speak up as soon as possible."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows that she has everything to say. However, with her current appearance, I'm afraid she can't help much."

"It's okay..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped and went back to the room, Ye Jiao and others followed behind.

On the contrary, Ye Xiao was more embarrassed, after all he was a foreigner, how could he enter the sister-in-law's room, even if there were many people, it was always inappropriate.

Ye Xiao gestured at Ye Jiao, and simply went to prepare some things.

Ye Jiao nodded, and then walked in slowly.

It's not that Ye Jiao hasn't been to her cousin's room before, but every time it's in a hurry, it's really the first time to look at it seriously.

The decoration here is rather elegant, giving people a rather gentle feeling.

However, the furnishings and the like inside are definitely the best treasures, which is also in line with the consistent style of the Tang Mansion.

In the rooms of those masters, if you point out almost any thing at random, all of them are of great value.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged pleasantries, and Aunt Tang mainly asked about her daughter-in-law's stomach problems, asking about food, appetite and so on.

When the two of them were almost done, Ye Jiao got up and began to talk about business.

but--

Before the start, the idlers still have to retreat.

Aunt Tang understood this all too well, she spoke first, with a dignified look on her face.

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon, only Ye Jiao, Aunt Tang and Young Mistress Tang were left in the room.

It was as if the world became quiet in an instant, and even people's breathing became clear.

Ye Jiao took out the silk and asked, "Sister-in-law, I went to the owner of Changji Silk Shop, and he said your bed sheets are fake, what do you think?"

Young Mistress Tang was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Ye Jiao to ask so straightforwardly!
"Fake, fake? How is this possible?"

Ye Jiao smiled, I should ask you this, why did you ask me back.

Young Mistress Tang subconsciously looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Tang, while Aunt Tang was drinking tea with her head down, as if she didn't hear.

Young Mistress Tang's eyes dimmed, and she said in a low voice, "I don't know, but I've been using it all the time, has it been dropped by someone?"

Ye Jiao nodded: "It is indeed possible."

However, things in this world are not so simple.

Young Mistress Tang nodded and sighed a lot.

Ye Jiao smiled, and said slowly: "Now, sister-in-law, don't you admit it?"

what? ?

Young Mistress Tang looked surprised.

Aunt Tang stopped drinking tea, raised her head, her eyes were gloomy.

Ye Jiao was only playing with the teacup in her hand, listening to the clear and sweet sound from the cup, but she didn't feel like drinking at all.

"Since you pretend not to understand, I can only make it clearer. Others' silks and satins are all fine, only your sister-in-law has been swapped."

Intimate things like bed sheets are usually kept in the bedroom, how could they be easily stolen?
Young Mistress Tang's face was a little ugly, and she said displeasedly: "Maybe it was changed when it was sent to be cleaned!"

Ye Jiao nodded: "It makes sense."

But—I have other evidence~~
Ye Jiao took out a red jade gold hairpin from her wide sleeve: "Excuse me, is this yours?"

Young Mistress Tang's complexion changed.

This is indeed hers, and she has seen many people, so she nodded.

Ye Jiao smiled: "It's really interesting. Could it be that sister-in-law's hairpin is also missing? If so, then your yard is really not well-guarded!"

Young Mistress Tang: "..."

Ye Jiao looked at Aunt Tang, and slowly explained: "I found this in the corner of Aunt Lin's room during the investigation. Does it still have nothing to do with sister-in-law?"

Aunt Tang: "..."

Young Mistress Tang's complexion finally changed, and she immediately said she was wronged!

"I really don't know. It's obvious that someone is going to frame me! Think about it, if it's me, how could I make such a stupid mistake! Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?"

Ye Jiao nodded and smiled: "That's right. So, I didn't say you were the only murderer~"

what!
The two people in the room fell silent instantly, it was a dead silence!

Young Mistress Tang's hands visibly trembled, but she continued to insist that she was framed, and she didn't know what Ye Jiao was talking about.

Ye Jiao smiled.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

It was Ye Xiao who brought people in.

This is an ordinary-looking woman dressed in coarse cloth, but her hands were tied and she was directly pushed in.

After Miss Tang saw the woman, her complexion turned pale again, and she even felt a slight pain in her stomach.

Ye Jiao pointed at the woman and said, "This is the murderer. She belongs to Aunt Lin's yard. She is a cook. She is usually good at killing chickens. I didn't expect to kill people very cleanly."

The cook's face turned pale, and she couldn't provoke her anymore, so she resorted to all tricks.

"I, I belong to the eldest young mistress, she is the one who asked me to kill Aunt Lin. Then she said that after the matter subsides, she will help me get out, give me a large sum of money, and fly away..."

The cook was neat and quick, and quickly vomited up the matter.

Young Mistress Tang almost didn't pass out, she held onto her handkerchief tightly, as if this was the only way she could hold on...

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know you at all!"

Young Mistress Tang's emotions were a little out of control, and her voice was quite sharp.

It's very uncomfortable to listen to.

Ye Jiao frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited, I'm just explaining the facts."

Aunt Tang looked at her daughter-in-law's belly worriedly, and said in a low voice, "Don't get excited."
