Her two hands were originally placed flat on the armrests of the chair, but at this moment, she couldn't help but clench them into fists.

Grandma Tang calmly watched Grandma Jiang's reaction, her lips curled up calmly.

Let’s see how long she can hold on!

In fact, in just a moment, Grandma Jiang had already thought of the big thing she had done sixteen years ago when she was in a trance!

At that time, her son died and her daughter-in-law died of dystocia. She was extremely unbalanced and resentful towards Luo, so she had the idea of ​​replacing the children as a revenge.

She was nervous at first, but after a long time, she found that Luo was silly and had no doubts at all, and was especially nice to Sister Lin.

The girls of their Cao family were able to grow up like treasures in the Duke's Mansion and live a good life.

The few feelings of uneasiness, fear, and guilt slowly disappeared.

Besides, she herself had nothing to feel guilty about!

His son Cao Yong died to save Luo Xiao, but Luo Xiao refused to even express his gratitude!

If not, how could the daughter-in-law be so sad that she couldn't take good care of the baby?

As a result, her baby passed away when he was only half grown, leaving her whole family with only her old bones!

When Guo Xiao died, Luo Xiao's baby was not born yet, so for some unknown reason, she secretly swapped the two children.

A few days later, Luo's biological daughter was sent far away with a drug that caused her to fake death, directly to her brother Ming-Wo who was farming in the countryside. He gave her some money a month so that she would not starve to death, but she was not well fed or clothed, and had been abused since she was a child.

Some time ago, her brother sent her a letter saying that he had sold the girl to a lowly place, and she was still angry.

How much is a little girl worth?

They are short of money, so they just do as she said, selling Luo's biological daughter is tantamount to selling the girl cheaply, and there is no big guarantee!

However, Xinghua Village is too far from Beijing, and even if she wants to pursue him, she can't go there.

Grandma Jiang thought about this and was shocked. It was impossible. How could something that had been kept secret for 16 years be brought up again?

Impossible Impossible...

Grandma Jiang was worried and said that she was digging her own grave. After thinking for a while, under the gloomy eyes of Grandma Tang, she sighed and pretended to compromise: "I confess, I confess, is it not okay?"

Because the two maids beside Grandma Tang, one holding a tongs in one hand and a silver needle in the other, were already walking towards her!

Everyone was in the inner house, so they naturally knew what the clamp and silver needle were used for.

Grandma Jiang didn't want to suffer, so she thought about exposing some of her mistakes, whether it was to delay time or to stabilize Grandma Tang. When Miss Luo Xiaodi came back, her life would be saved!

Anyway, no matter what, she would die and could not reveal a single word about the matter of the raccoon cat replacing the prince.

Otherwise, not only would she be blamed for the crime, but her son's only bloodline would also be implicated.

…

"Over the years, I have received gifts from the maidservants, totaling 39 taels of silver and more than seven guan."

"Every year during the Chinese New Year, I would lie a little about the price of chicken, duck, fish and meat, so I was cheated out of 80 or 90 taels of silver."

"and……"

Grandma Tang listened to Grandma Jiang talking about her corruption, but the total was no more than two dozen.

When it came to the issue concerning the two young ladies, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Grandma Tang suddenly became angry and shouted, "Enough, who asked you to say these things, Grandma Jiang, sixteen years ago, your daughter-in-law Guo Xiaoyi gave birth one day. What happened that day? I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I will kill you today. No one can make the decision for you!"

These words finally made a cold light flash across Grandma Jiang's eyes. She was already 70% sure that the old lady must have noticed something about what happened back then!

But can she speak? No! She can't!

Even death.

After a while, the sound of someone screaming in pain came from the back room.

This sound continued for a long time. Just before old lady Luo and others returned home, Grandma Jiang couldn't bear it anymore and fainted. The hair-raising screaming stopped.

Someone from the palace happened to pass by and heard the news. The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to ten, and the whole palace was in a panic.

Grandma Tang was in no mood to explain, and she didn't even care whether her movements were too big.

Hearing that the old lady had returned, she hurried back to Kangji Hall with a bad look on her face.

Luo and Jiang Yilin came together to send the old lady over.

Before leaving, Grandma Tang whispered in the old lady's ear, "That old hag is very stubborn and refuses to speak."

Because she didn't ask what she came for, Grandma Tang looked terrified.

After all, Luo Xiao had already returned, otherwise it would not be long before the news that Grandma Jiang was abducted and tortured by her would become known.

Even if the old lady took full responsibility, as a mother-in-law, she would arrest the housekeeper of her daughter-in-law for no reason and make her miserable. With Luo Li's temper, I'm afraid the whole Duke's Mansion would be overthrown by her.

The key point is that this matter is unreasonable. If you say that, the old lady's reputation and prestige among the aristocratic families will be ruined!

Grandma Tang's anxiety was written all over her face. It was so abnormal that even Jiang Yilin, who was immersed in Madam Qi's praise, noticed it. She couldn't help but whispered to Luo's ear, "Mother, what's going on? What happened to Grandma Tang that made her so nervous?"

In Jiang Yilin's mind, both her grandmother Lian Xiao and Grandma Tang were calm and composed, and would not change their expressions even when faced with great difficulties.

But that's a nice way of putting it.

To put it bluntly, it's lifeless, without any of the joys or sorrows that a living person should have.

This was one of the reasons why she disliked Kangjitang so much.

Hearing this, Luo Xiao glanced at Grandma Tang and snorted indifferently, "She is at best a woman. Why should we care whether she is nervous or not? Okay, as long as we save face, let's hurry back to our own yard."

"Okay." Jiang Yilin agreed of course, but the tea in Kangjitang was good. She wanted to drink a few cups of it and then prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Jiang Yilin's cry of pain suddenly rang out in the hall where you could hear a pin drop. She unconsciously loosened her grip and the teacup fell to the ground. Because it was a wooden floor, it did not break, but just rolled a few times.

Jiang Yilin held her hand with tears in her eyes, "Mother, my hand is bleeding!"

The teacup was broken and cut Jiang Yilin's delicate fingers.

The wound was not shallow, and blood was oozing out in large beads, which looked quite scary.

Yin Ping was quick to pick up the empty teacup on the ground, and went over to catch a few drops of Jiang Yilin's fresh blood. She apologized with great sincerity.

"Miss Di, I deserve to die. This is all my fault. I didn't even check the quality of the cup before serving tea to Miss Di. Did you hurt your bones? I'll go get a doctor for Miss Di now!"

"You bitch, get out of here!" Luo Yu was distressed and angry. She pushed Yin Ping away fiercely, almost knocking her to the ground with her big hands. Then she ordered anxiously, "Grandma Jiang, hurry up. I give you one stick of incense to find the imperial physician."

"My poor Linlin, you're going to get married soon. What if you get a scar?"

Pinzhu beside Luo Yu quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, Grandma Jiang is not here. I will go and get the imperial physician."

Luo 꿻 really was right at first glance. The person she was used to using 깻 was suddenly not around, and she became extremely annoyed.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Luo Li was anxious. He grabbed Jiang Yilin's hand and put it directly into his mouth.

Old lady, "..."

Is it really necessary to exaggerate such a small thing?

I'm afraid that by the time the imperial physician comes, all the injuries will be healed!

The latter was still screaming in pain, her red lips pursed, her eyebrows furrowed, and tears streaming down her face like a light rain.

The old lady originally disliked Jiang Yilin's hypocritical and fragile appearance. When she realized that she might not be a child of the Jiang family, she disliked her even more.

"I think, for a person this big, it's just a minor cut, it will heal slowly," she said.

As a result, these words directly made Luo Ran furious. She stood up and said, "Old Madam, what are you talking about? Is your conscience eaten by dogs? Our sister Lin is a grandmother who is respectful and filial to you, but you don't want her to be well!"

"Grandma Jiang...Grandma Jiang..." Luo Xiao roared and pulled the crying Jiang Yilin out. "Linlin, let's go. We don't want to be in the eyes of your grandmother here!"

"Wait!" The old lady said in a cold tone, and ordered the door to be closed.

Luo Xiao turned back in shock, his eyes piercing the old lady's face like sharp arrows, "What do you mean? Not only did you fail to discipline them and let them hurt Xiaolin with a broken cup, but you also did this. Are you going to imprison my mother and me? May I ask, old lady, what have we done to displease you?"

Luo called out "Grandma Jiang" so many times, but there was no one in sight. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

But she would never show weakness in front of the old woman, so she continued to stand at the door with her neck stiffened, holding her poor and weak daughter in her arms, feeling wronged and angry.

"I have been married to the Duke for ten years, and you have hated me for ten years. There is a saying that goes, even if you raise a dog, you will have feelings for it. Old lady, do you have any feelings for me?"

Lian Xiao, who was scolded as "heartless", looked at Grandma Tang calmly, "Go, bring Grandma Jiang here, and I, an old woman, will let her see clearly who is blinded by greed."
