"Shut up, you evil slave. You are biting back now. Do you think the general and his wife will believe you? You are clearly trying to frame me and find someone to accompany you before you die? Why didn't I see your sinister intentions before?" Lian Jinrong took a few steps forward and reached out to pull Madam Zhang's hair. "You old scoundrel, why are you involving me in your own affairs?"

An Qingran was watching the good show in front of her, and she sighed in her heart that all of An Yanran's characteristics were inherited from her mother. Now watching all this as a bystander, she felt that all the things that happened in the past were due to her being too stupid.

An Zhongtao looked at everything in front of him and said coldly: "Stop it, let her speak!"

Lian Jinrong had to step aside upon hearing this, with an ugly expression on her face: "General, you can't listen to this old servant. If I had that intention, I would be guilty! Sister, you can't believe her. Before she died, she wanted to destroy the relationship between us sisters. Sister..."

"Shut up!" An Zhongtao was annoyed by her noise and pointed at Aunt Zhang and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Aunt Zhang cried and said, "All this was done by the Second Madam. What can we servants do? I have not lied and I dare not lie..."

Lian Jinrong did not say anything when she saw this. She just stood beside the general and looked at him with tears in her eyes. An Zhongtao's face turned pale when he saw this: "Okay, take this old slave away and give him 20 strokes of the cane and lock him up first!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang felt that there was hope for her to survive, so she knelt on the ground and expressed her gratitude. After being dragged away, she was still shouting "Oh, my God" and so on.

Finally, it became quiet. The room was so quiet that you could hear people breathing, especially An Zhongtao's breathing was very heavy. Even Jin Yu's face didn't look good. The only person with a smile on his face in the room was An Qingran!

She was waiting for her father's decision.

Seeing this, Lian Jinrong stepped forward cautiously, her eyes full of grievance: "General, I cannot defend myself whether I did such a thing or not, please be fair..."

"Why did she single you out? And every word she said was traceable. Wasn't it you who spilled the tea on the clothes?" An Zhongtao said sharply.

"Yes, I don't want to defend myself now..." Lian Jinrong's eyes were filled with helplessness and pity. If someone didn't know her, they would really think that she was wronged.

An Qingran nodded secretly and said, "I don't think it was my aunt who did it either!"

Lian Jinyu was not surprised when she said this, because this child had always had a good relationship with her aunt.

An Zhongtao sneered and said, "Kid, what do you know..."

"Dad, of course I understand. Auntie didn't let Auntie Zhang speak just now. Auntie was very foresighted and knew that Auntie Zhang would not say anything nice, so she stopped her from speaking..."

An Qingran said with a sly smile.

"Yes, you tried to stop Nanny Zhang before she even started talking. If that's not because you feel guilty, then what is it?" An Zhongtao said angrily.

Lian Jinrong shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Now even if I have ten thousand mouths, I can't explain it clearly. Since the general has determined that this matter is related to me, I have nothing to say..."

As she said this, she wiped her tears with her sleeves in great grief and anger, and glared at An Qingran fiercely through her sleeves: Tonight, this little girl has become a spirit, right? Without her, she would have returned empty-handed tonight, but now, every word she said seemed to be biased towards her, and she ended up in a very embarrassing situation, not even leaving her time to lie.

"Don't think that the matter is over just because you don't say anything... Today is a holiday, and I won't argue with you until I find evidence against you! Come on, put the second wife under house arrest for a month, and no one is allowed to let her out without my order!" An Zhongtao said hatefully.
