Chapter 61 Hearing Liu's words
After hearing what Liu said, Zhang understood that Liu would not pursue her any further, nor would she let Yin Zijin die to bury the secret. My tense heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
Zhang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and continued, "Mother, I raised the Sixth Miss with my own hands. I raised her with great care. Whatever the Seventh Miss has, the Sixth Miss will also have, and I will never show partiality.
My dear ancestor, I know that it was Liβs fault and my child should not be implicated, but I am really afraid! Thank you, ancestor, for showing mercy and not killing the sixth girl.
Before the Sixth Miss leaves home, I will bind her feet and make all arrangements so that no accidents will occur. The palace was in turmoil during that period, so it was a good thing for the Sixth Girl to go to Fu'an Temple to avoid the limelight for a while. I will wait until I have cleaned up the inner house and then bring the sixth girl back to the mansion. β
Liu leaned against a small table on the low couch, picked up a string of Buddhist beads from the table, and began to twist them skillfully. While twisting her Buddhist beads, Liu closed her eyes and said, "I just don't know if the Sixth Miss can make it. The Sixth Miss was seriously injured this time."
Zhang stood up and massaged Liu's shoulders with moderate force: "Mother, we have done what we can. The future depends on Sixth Miss's luck. If Sixth Miss is blessed with a good life, she will have more blessings to come. The only regret is that she can't be a boy. From now on, she will be a girl."
Liu sighed and said, "Ah! It seems that this is the only way. I hope that the Sixth Miss can survive this disaster and be safe and sound. Oh! By the way, did the drunkard find out anything?"
Zhang shook her head and said, "Mother, I haven't had time to interrogate her yet. I will go back and investigate thoroughly. I will definitely find out who is behind this. There is one more thing. My third brother is a doctor. He has examined the pulse of the sixth lady and should have known that the sixth lady is a man..."
Liu waved her hand and said, "Go ahead! Send someone to report the result. If he wants to destroy the innocence of my daughter of the Yin family, I will make him pay the price.
I will talk to Yin Gui in person and he will put the overall situation first. Zhang, you must also restrain yourself in the future. Remember not to be dishonest and affect Xuer's career. If you can't support this family, I'd rather find someone else. β
Zhang's heart trembled, and she nodded quickly and said, "Then I will leave first. If there is any news, I will send someone to report to mother first."
After that, he took Madam Zhou out of Anleju. As soon as they left Anleju, they saw an old madam waiting anxiously. When she saw Zhang coming out, she knelt on the ground and reported anxiously: "Madam, it's not good. The villain has committed suicide by taking poison."
Zhang held Madam Zhou's hand and said with a wry smile, "Madam Zhou, it seems that my prediction was correct. This matter is definitely not simple."
Nanny Zhou asked anxiously, "Madam, what should we do now? We still need to give an explanation to our ancestors."
Zhang rubbed her brows and said, "It was just a little bit short of being taken advantage of. So, Madam Zhou, you send a little maid to tell Madam Liu to invite the best foot-binding nanny in the capital. If the Sixth Miss wakes up today and rests for a night, she can bind the Sixth and Seventh Miss' feet tomorrow.
Also, ask your husband to thoroughly investigate the identity of the criminal and find out all his background. See if there are any clues?
Madam Zhou, you must immediately gather all the maids and servants who serve the Sixth and Seventh Miss, or who have had contact with the Sixth and Seventh Miss in the past few days, and lock them up first to see if there are any clues. Now that the important characters are dead, we can only slowly unravel the mystery and see if we can find any flaws.
What if you still can't find any clues? Then we can only admit defeat this time. After all, we didn't handle it well in the first place and only solved the problem of the Sixth Girl. β
When Madam Zhou received the order, she quickly replied: "The Sixth Miss's matter is the most worrying one. Now that it has been resolved, Madam can put her mind at ease. I will go now and complete all the matters Madam has arranged."
Zhang waved her hand and said, "Go! I will go to the dark cell myself and see the dead villain..."
