When the Qinwang Palace took action, the Jiang Guogong Palace was not left behind.

"My dear, regarding the matter between the two young ladies, I think the best way is to arrest Grandma Jiang and interrogate her!"

Grandma Tang stood in front of the couch and told him what she had just learned, "Her son Cao Yong actually died tragically because of Luo Shi. It was like exchanging one life for another."

"That year, the war was intense. The Duke was obsessed with killing and was invincible. In order to restrain the Duke, the enemy sent people to capture Luo as a hostage."

"Cao Yong single-handedly stopped the pursuers and prevented Luo from being captured and the Duke from being attacked from all sides."

"This should have been a righteous act that should have been done by the appeasement, but Luo was afraid that the Duke would blame her for sneaking out during her pregnancy, so she kept it a secret!"

"After more than a month, they found a reason to give Grandma Cao her family name, and then brought Guo into the mansion to help with the pregnancy."

"I am afraid that after what happened with Grandma Cao, she actually had resentment towards Luo, but she didn't show it. Later, when Guo had a difficult childbirth and lost the baby, the family was broken up. It is not impossible that she had evil intentions to replace the baby!"

The more the old man listened, the more his brows furrowed.

Her narrowed cold eyes seemed to reflect the scene of her first meeting with Luo.

The girl was wearing frosty clothes, with clean make-up, and she lowered her head timidly.

At an age when she should be bright and shy, her eyes are jumping and lack purity, and upon closer inspection, she is timid and shy.

She saw through it at a glance that this girl would not be able to be the mistress of the Duke's Mansion.

But my son liked her so much that he was obsessed with marrying her.

Now, who can be blamed for such consequences?

"It's not that I, an old woman, can't tolerate people. Look at what she did. Not to mention the Duke's Mansion, even families with lower social status would never be so foolish!"

The old man was filled with hatred and regret, and he covered his handkerchief with his hand and coughed angrily.

Grandma Tang hurriedly comforted her, "Who said no? You are usually fine, why do you become more and more confused when faced with such things?"

After a while, the old woman regained control and panted, "Forget it. A person's personality is innate. What's the point of revealing it here? Things have come to this, Grandma Tang, just do as you say!"

Grandma Tang was embarrassed. "But Grandma Jiang usually stays with Miss Di instead of Mrs. Luo. It's not easy to kidnap someone quietly."

The old man stood up and said, "Then send them away."

"Where are Yinshuang and Yinping? Call them in to help me change my clothes. Mr. Qi asked me to go flower viewing a while ago. I'd better go today."

"This old lady Qi is the grandmother of Sister Lin's sweetheart. Guess, if she heard that I am going to the Qi family, would she be restless and fascinated?"

"Of course." Grandma Tang smiled, with a calculating gleam in her eyes.

As expected, Kangjitang just announced that they were going to visit the Qi family. Jiang Yilin couldn't go directly to the old lady for fear of being scolded, so she simply ran to Luo and held her clothes tightly, "Mom, I want to go to the Qi family too."

"I heard that Prince Yan is the most filial to this grandmother. If I can please Old Lady Qi before I get married, Prince Yan will definitely look up to me in the future."

Luo was doing needlework at the moment and had to put it down first.

He held Jiang Yilin's hand affectionately and said, "You can't tolerate anyone else now. You only have your future aunt in your heart."

Jiang Yilin blushed with embarrassment, "Mother! I didn't! If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Haha." Luo laughed and looked at her daughter's shy face, her eyes full of doting.

"Okay, okay, for your sake, I will shamelessly go to the old lady."

Hearing this, Jiang Yilin smiled brightly, "I knew that mother loves me the most."

Since the plan was set, the old man took precise control of the situation after the mother and daughter arrived, and finally kept both Grandma Tang and Grandma Jiang.

"The Qi residence is not close, so you two older ones don't need to go. Take the younger ones with you."

Luo had no objection, and Jiang Yilin had already flown to Qi's house without blinking an eye.

The old man stood up and gave Grandma Tang a look that suggested she seize the opportunity. Then he went out with four or five servants in a grand manner.

Jiang Yilin and Luo Shi each only brought one personal attendant with them, and a special errand boy who rode on horseback to deliver the visiting card first, so as not to confuse the host family.

After they left, Grandma Tang quickly brought a few strong and steady women and kidnapped Grandma Jiang when she passed by the garden!

In a very secluded back room, Grandma Tang asked someone to splash water on Grandma Jiang to wake her up.

She struggled so hard when she was caught just now that in order not to alarm too many people, Grandma Tang had to stun her first.

Grandma Jiang opened her eyes dazedly and found herself tied to a chair. Her hands and feet were rubbed red. She couldn't believe it and looked terrified.

Then she looked up at Grandma Tang who was sitting not far away drinking tea.

Grandma Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and she said angrily, "Grandma Tang, did you take the wrong medicine? Why did you arrest me?"

Grandma Tang drank her tea slowly and chuckled, "Don't be angry. This is the old man's life. Otherwise, I am just the housekeeper like you. What qualifications do I have to arrest you?"

Although she had expected this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous after hearing what Grandma Tang said. "Why... why? I have worked diligently in the Duke's Mansion for so many years, and I have made few mistakes. Why did you arrest me?"

"Really?" Grandma Tang raised her voice, "You should think carefully about whether you have done anything detrimental to the Duke's Mansion in these years. It is better for you to confess yourself than for my wife to torture you later."

"We are all old and in poor health. If we can suffer less physical pain, then let's suffer less."

Grandma Jiang was scared in her heart. Grandma Tang was too calm. Did she really have something to hold against her?

Over the years, as the housekeeper, she occasionally accepted some gifts from her subordinates and used her position to secretly embezzle some money. Such things really happened.

But this kind of petty corruption is almost uncommon in the inner chambers.

As long as it's not too excessive, the host will usually turn a blind eye.

Could it be that the old man finally couldn't tolerate her anymore, so he wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble?

But if it's just such a small crime, it's not that easy to defeat her completely.

Grandma Jiang pouted and made up her mind not to say anything. She didn't believe that Grandma Tang would really dare to torture her to extract a confession.

As a result, Grandma Tang did not rush to take action. She just looked at her with a half-smile, "Grandma Jiang, don't blame me for not reminding you. Since you have fallen into such a situation today, I have already completely grasped your guilt.

"It's unnecessary to ask you this, but I want to give you a chance to reflect on yourself.

"I don't like beating around the bush, so let me remind you that what you need to explain is what happened in Border Yao City six years ago!"

Grandma Jiang's pupils shrank. The words "six years ago" and "Yaocheng" were like a heavy hammer hitting her heart!
