There were screams all night long in Zhou's Pear Blossom Garden.
The next day, the servants in the mansion gathered together to discuss the matter.
"You say, is there really a ghost in that yard?"
"Didn't I tell you? Two ghosts have come. One is the eldest son, and the other is the former Madam Lan. It must be real!"
"I heard that the lady was so frightened that she couldn't sleep all night, and her son is having a tantrum right now!"
"Madam, you're definitely not afraid of the eldest son's ghost. You're afraid of Madam Lan, right?"
"Why, is she afraid of Madam Lan? Is there any hatred between the two of them?"
"Looking at the Second Miss's attitude towards Madam, I think so."
"Come to think of it, I heard that Madam has appropriated a lot of the Second Young Lady's mother's dowry. She must have done something wrong, so she's so scared, right?"
"You two little girls, are you trying to save your lives? How dare you say anything? Stop talking about it and get back to work."
Zhou moved out of Lihuayuan and lived in Mingyue Pavilion, the courtyard where Si Jinyue lived before she got married.
She didn't dare live in Lihuayuan anymore, fearing that Lan's ghost would come to seek revenge on her...
Seeing Lan like this, Si Jinyun felt a little confused.
When Lan died, she was only a four-year-old girl and didn't remember many things.
She only remembered that her mother quickly rose from concubine to lady, and she also rose from a concubine with limited food, clothing and other expenses to the third legitimate daughter of the mansion.
As for how Lan died, she had never thought about it, nor had she ever doubted it.
And now, Si Jinyun was shocked when he saw the look of fear on Zhou's face.
Could it be that...
Was Mrs. Lan’s death related to her mother?
The more Si Jinyun thought about it, the more frightened and scared she became.
She suddenly thought of her father, who was so indifferent to her mother a few days ago.
It turns out that it's not just because of her and Big Brother's identities.
I’m afraid that my father already knew that Mrs. Lan’s death was related to my mother?
Then...Si Jinxing, does he also know about this?
Si Jinyun made some random guesses, and a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his palms.
She asked the maids to leave the room, closed the door, and went to Zhou and asked in a low voice:
"Mom, what did you do back then?
How did Madam Lan die? Was it really caused by Si Jinxing's cakes? Or was it related to you?
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou's eyes widened in anger, and with a slap, she slapped Si Jinyun in the face!
She flew into a rage and pointed at Si Jinyun and cursed:
"What are you talking about? She was killed by her daughter. Everyone in the house knows this!
As my daughter, you actually doubt me. What is your intention? "
Si Jinyun covered his burning face and said in disbelief:
"Mother, you hit me?"
She was just asking, is this not allowed?
A few days ago, Zhou was confined to Lihuayuan, and her elder sister was prevented from entering the house by her father.
My eldest brother hasn't made any progress and won't listen to anything I say.
Her father spoke coldly to her again, so she had to endure her temper and go to the old lady to act nice and please her.
Afterwards, the eldest brother and the old lady passed away one after another.
She was a young girl who had not yet reached marriage age, and she seemed to have been abandoned, living alone in a small house on Rongxing Street.
Even so, she accepted it.
But now, her mother has been in a bad mood for the past few days, smashing things at every turn, and even started beating her today?
Si Jinyun felt chilled.
In order to return to the past, she was willing to sell her body.
After the matter was accomplished, Zhou was immediately released from Lihuayuan.
I just hope she can go back to being the third daughter of the Si family, and be loved by her parents...
But, everything is gone.
After all, she was deceiving herself...
Zhou didn't know that this slap from her completely made Si Jinyun give up!
She continued to curse:
"What happened if I hit you?
You crawled out of my belly, so even if I beat you to death, no one can stop me!
You ask me how Lan died?
What? If I tell you that I killed her, will you still avenge her?
What a joke! My daughter doesn't agree with me. I've really raised an ungrateful person!"
Si Jinyun nodded upon hearing this and said expressionlessly:
"Yes, I am an ungrateful person, I shouldn't be asking about your affairs.
But don't forget, I am the only daughter you have by your side now.
Are you serious? Aren't you afraid that I will stop caring about you?!"
Zhou was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she scolded:
"What do you mean? I still have Yue'er!
Don't think that I can only rely on you just because I have lost my son!"
Si Jinyun straightened Zhou's bun, which had been twisted askew, and said indifferently:
"I'm afraid mother doesn't know?
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest sister plotted to poison the daughter of the Prime Minister, and Liu Fangzhi died on the spot at the banquet.
This matter has almost been reported to the palace by the Prime Minister!
The prince spared her life because she was pregnant.
But Big Sister is no longer Princess Rui!"
When Zhou heard this, she said in disbelief:
"Yun'er, mother shouldn't have hit you just now. You must have lied to me, right?
Your elder sister was doing a good job as a princess, how could she poison the daughter of the Prime Minister?
She has always been restrained and would never do such a thing. Are you lying to me?"
Si Jinyun looked at Zhou, smiled and said:
"Since my mother doesn't count on me, there's no need for me to say anything more.
Mother, please have a good rest. I am leaving now."
