Chapter 151 The Mastermind
Ever since Su Yuanling encountered misfortune, the Su family has been at the center of the storm of public opinion. Every rumor from the outside world is like a sharp blade, trying to push them into a darker abyss.
Jiao's face turned stern, and her eyes flashed like lightning as she instantly swept over the recently purchased maids.
Li also suddenly came back to her senses, and with a hint of alertness in her eyes, she looked at the frightened maids beside her.
Even the old lady looked at the little maids bought for her by her daughters-in-law with her eyes as bright as a clock.
Su Shengsheng's face was solemn, and his heart was already filled with doubts.
Since that day, she suspected that someone in the family had leaked the news, so she secretly instructed Brother Bao to send someone to keep a close watch on them.
However, she knew the whereabouts of these maids very well, and Xie Xuan's men were secretly protecting them outside, but the enemy still accurately predicted their actions, which made her feel confused.
Several maids turned pale and fell to their knees immediately after being stared at by their masters.
"We have been staying in the mansion these past few days and haven't stepped out. Please understand, old master and old lady." They defended in trembling voices.
Jiao felt sorry for her daughter being humiliated in the street. Her voice was as cold as the wind. "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for using the family law to punish you severely!"
The maids trembled and burst into tears instantly.
Jiao gently helped her daughter sit down, and Li also hugged Su Shengsheng to her side. The atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
Old Master Su felt sorry for what his granddaughter had gone through, but he also knew that someone had done it on purpose, so his expression became extremely serious.
With his eldest brother away, Su Jingshan stepped forward and said, "If you confess now, you might get a lighter sentence, but if you find out later, I will definitely not let you off easily!"
Anyone who dares to commit such evil deeds in the Su family should be killed!
Su Shengsheng's gaze swept over a dozen shivering maids, but then quietly turned to Yun Xiang, Yun Yi and others.
Su Jingshan believed that the maid was colluding with outsiders and must have evil intentions, so he ordered Qingning and Ningyu to search for the stolen goods.
However, after a careful search, only some scattered bounties were found, and they all matched the accounts.
Just as everyone was about to use family rules, Qing Ning hurried into the hall with a cold face, carrying a bag of gold and silver jewelry.
"Old Master, Old Madam, these are the stolen goods we found in Yunxiang and Yunyi's house. They are all gold jewelry."
Qing Ning's words were like a firecracker, exploding in the house in an instant.
"Yunxiang, Yunyi, it's you?" Li exclaimed in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Su Jingshan immediately flew into a rage. "Tell me, who told you to do this? And what benefits did I promise you to harm others like this?"
Yunxiang and Yunyi knelt down crying, "Someone is deliberately framing us. Third Master, you can't believe this!"
After saying that, seeing that no one believed them, she crawled to Su Shengsheng's side crying, "Miss, if we really wanted to harm you, we would have taken the money and run away long ago. Why are we still staying at home? Someone is deliberately framing us!"
This time, Su Jingshan was no longer soft-hearted and ordered his servants to take them away and report to the police.
Jiao was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and rushed forward to hit him. "I'll beat you to death for harming my daughter."
As everyone was arguing, Su Shengsheng suddenly fixed her gaze on Su Nianwei, who was quietly observing everything from the side. "Seventh sister, is that you?"
These sudden words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly quieting down the chaotic classroom, as if someone had been struck by a needle.
Jiao was even more shocked, and Yunxiang and Yunyi, who were originally blamed by everyone, immediately stopped crying and stood up suddenly.
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Su Nianwei. She looked a little confused, but soon regained her composure.
Even Su Yuanling was stunned. She first looked at Su Shengsheng, then quickly turned her gaze to Su Nianwei, "Seventh Sister? This is unacceptable..."
Even if Yunxiang and Yunyi betrayed her, Su Yuanling could barely accept it, but this person turned out to be her seventh sister?
Mrs. Li looked at Su Nianwei in astonishment, as if she didn't understand what was going on. She turned around and asked Su Shengsheng, "Daughter, what is going on?"
Didn’t my daughter say it was Yunxiang and Yunyi?
She was so frightened that she dared not utter a word and let her sister-in-law beat and scold them, but she still couldn't believe it in her heart.
At this moment, my daughter actually pointed out that it was Su Nianwei?
The old lady stared at Su Nianwei, who had suddenly come back to her senses, her eyes flickering.
That's right, this carefully planned drama had been quietly arranged by her, her fourth sister, and Qing Ning from the moment Mu Ze came to report.
The purpose is to lure out the real mastermind behind the scenes.
For example, if mosquitoes and flies enter the sewer in your home, even if you clean the house spotlessly and buy all kinds of pesticides, if you don’t block the source, mosquitoes and flies will still linger around your pillow day and night.
As long as the evil hand is not eliminated, there will never be peace in the family.
Su Jingshan, who had just wanted to arrest Yunxiang and Yunyi and report them to the police, saw that his third daughter did not immediately refute him. His mind suddenly became clear, "Is it really you, third daughter?"
At this moment, Yun Xiang and Yun Yi had already stood behind Su Shengsheng, making their position clear to everyone present.
In fact, only a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry in the package were genuine. Those not displayed below were all imitations and fakes.
Qing Ning and Ning Yu looked at the silent Su Nianwei, and spread the half-open package in their hands on the ground.
It was clear to everyone present that someone was deliberately framing them.
But at this moment, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Their eyes were all focused on Su Nianwei's face, who looked a little flustered.
Su Nianwei's face froze. "Why would father suspect it was his daughter?" She looked at Su Shengsheng, who was indifferent to her. "Could it be that Fourth Sister is ill and has lost consciousness due to the fever? How could I harm Fourth Sister?"
Su Shengsheng walked up to her and examined her face, but found no trace of pasting. She then walked aside and looked at the two maids behind her. "Then I have to ask Seventh Sister?"
Su Nianwei's expression changed slightly, but she wasn't panicking, she was angry. "Didn't Sixth Sister suspect me? Why can't you produce any evidence?"
"Only the person truly behind the scenes would be so sure that I can't produce any evidence." Su Shengsheng smiled coldly and looked back at her, "Because she knows in her heart that there is no stolen goods to be found."
Seeing Su Nianwei's eyes flicker, Su Shengsheng walked back to her and said, "Seventh sister is really smart. She knows that if this matter is exposed, the family will definitely suspect the servants first."
She stopped a foot away from Su Nianwei. "And you, the real manipulator behind the scenes, were stunned when you heard the news that stolen goods were found among your master's confidants. A hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across your eyes, but you quickly tried your best to calm down and hide your gaffe."
Facing Su Nianwei's slightly flustered eyes, Su Shengsheng sneered, "Only you have been secretly observing the reactions of those around you, trying to find out if there are any signs of suspicion about yourself. At the same time, you are secretly glad that you have not been noticed and are still keeping an eye on me..."
She approached Su Nianwei's panicked eyes and said, "See if I am truly convinced that it was Yunxiang Yunyi who did it. Fortunately, Yunxiang Yunyi is not clean and accidentally took the blame for you this time."
Su Nianwei said, "Sixth sister must have been frightened. She is so nervous that she even suspects her own sister."
She looked at Su Shengsheng with a sigh, then at the serious-looking Li and Su Jingshan. "Father and Mother wouldn't really doubt me, would they? Sixth sister just said something casually, so do we all believe it?"
However, no one responded to her words.
"You are truly extremely intelligent and acted cautiously, never revealing the slightest flaw." Su Shengsheng spoke again. "Others were simply watching the unfolding of events, but the person behind the scenes acted overly calm and composed, trying to hide their hidden guilt and nervousness."
"Sixth sister, are you suspicious of me because of these things?" Su Nianwei asked back.
