Mu Qing can be ruled out. She is a woman and has never practiced martial arts. She does not have the strength to beat the second wife like that. Ye Junbo is very likely the culprit.
Aunt Ling's face darkened, and she spoke rudely to Second Master Lan, "Second Master, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting our eldest lady and uncle? Last night, when Young Master Long Ting was tired and fell asleep, the eldest lady and uncle carried him upstairs to his room to rest."
"The head of the family was worried and asked me to go upstairs to check. I saw with my own eyes that the eldest daughter and her husband entered the room and stayed there the whole time. They only came out of the room when something happened to the second wife and they were alarmed."
"Aunt Ling, I don't doubt Qingqing's intentions. I'm just asking. Don't get so excited."
Aunt Ling snorted coldly, "Second Master is clearly suspecting our eldest daughter and trying to wrongly accuse her. How can I not be upset? I know that many people are very affectionate to the eldest daughter on the surface, but deep down they don't want her to come back."
"The young lady didn't move anyone's cheese. The cheese originally belonged to the young lady."
There was something behind her words, which made Mr. Lan look a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, I asked the wrong question. I know it wasn't Qingqing who did it. Qingqing doesn't have that kind of strength."
"Our son-in-law wouldn't do anything so shameful. He's well-educated and behaves in an upright manner. Besides, how long has it been since he returned with the eldest lady? The manor is so huge, he hasn't even finished touring it. How could he be so familiar with it that he could easily knock out the second wife without anyone knowing?"
"Second Master, if you want to investigate, then go ahead. It's normal to suspect us, but please, when you interrogate me, it's best to have evidence. I'm just a worker, and my words are insignificant. You just ask me whatever you want. The young lady is not a worker. If you wrongly accuse her, and she goes back to City A in anger, you'll see what the head of the family and his wife will do to you."
Master Lan: “…”
He just had a suspicion, but he didn't really say that it was Qingqing and her husband who did it.
"Maybe it's the thief crying thief."
Aunt Ling muttered something in a low voice, which made Mr. Lan so angry that he was too lazy to talk to her anymore and left in anger.
After he left, Aunt Ling pouted, "Do you really think the young lady is made of paper and allows you to question her?"
The eldest lady's temperament is a bit like the lady's. She looks very gentle, but in fact, the eldest lady is much stronger than the lady.
If the Second Master dares to question the Eldest Miss, the Eldest Miss will definitely embarrass the Second Master.
snort!
Mr. Lan returned to his little home and went straight back to his room.
The old lady and her husband who had visited the Second Madam had already left, and only Lan Zhi was left in the room with the Second Madam.
"dad."
Seeing her father come in, Lan Zhi stood up and called her father.
Master Lan nodded.
"Honey, how's it going? Did the surveillance find anything?"
The second wife asked impatiently.
Master Lan curled his lips and said, "Do you think you can find anything? It's been more than ten hours since the incident. Even if the surveillance camera captured something at the time, it has been erased. What else can you see? Nothing."
The second wife thought about it and said bitterly, "Did I take this beating for nothing? Husband, it must be Lan Jie, he must have hurt me."
Since she couldn't find out who actually hurt her, she had to find a substitute. Lan Jie was the best substitute because it was Lan Jie who discovered that she was knocked unconscious first.
"It won't be Blue Jay."
Master Lan said affirmatively.
"Who is that? Big Brother doesn't care. He just told us to investigate on our own. In this family, our second branch has always been low-key and not taken seriously. What can we find out by investigating on our own? Even if someone knows the truth, they won't tell us."
The eldest wife is the head of the family, the third wife is the youngest and is deeply loved and protected by the old lady, and the second wife is stuck in the middle, with no power or influence, and lives a low-key life.
Even her children are not as dazzling and eye-catching as those of the first and third wives.
When Shen Yimo was still crazy, Lan Zheng's unfavored grandson had more status in front of the old lady than her second wife's children.
Lan Zheng: I am the future head of the family, what do you think your second branch is?
Mr. Lan also knew that it would be difficult to find out the person who hurt his wife.
He remained silent.
In fact, he still suspected Mu Qing and his wife.
But Aunt Ling said that Mu Qing and his wife did not come out after they went upstairs to their room. They only came downstairs when something happened to the second wife.
He tried hard to recall everything he saw in the monitoring room. It seemed that he really saw Mu Qing and his wife coming out of the main house of the center after his wife got into trouble.
Could it be that he was wrong in his suspicion?
Aren’t they Mu Qing and his wife?
What Aunt Ling said makes some sense.
Ye Junbo is an expert in martial arts and can easily knock out the Second Wife without her seeing him. However, Ye Junbo has not been in the Lan family for long. The Lan family manor is so big that he would not be familiar with the environment without living there for a while and would easily get lost.
Ye Junbo sticks with Mu Qing all day long, and everyone sees the couple's every move. He really doesn't look like the kind of person who is familiar with the Lan family manor.
If not them, then who?
"Dad, Mom."
Lan Zhi suddenly said, "Dad, this matter will not lead to any results. Don't investigate further. Mom, just treat it as a loss. If you encounter this kind of thing next time, just shout loudly, and don't sneak up on people to find out what's going on."
"The person who attacked Mom had no intention of killing her, otherwise Mom wouldn't be lying here right now."
Both husband and wife glared at their daughter.
"You let Mom suffer in silence? Ah Zhi, you usually act like an invisible person, but your own mother was beaten like this. Look at the wound on her head? It's bloody. Mom has suffered such a great injustice, and you still want her to admit it and stop investigating. Are you my child?"
"Only my mother knows whether I am her biological child or not. How would I know whether I am her biological child or not?"
Lan Zhi was not angry when her mother scolded her. She retorted to her mother, which made the second wife's head hurt even more.
He pointed at his daughter and started scolding her.
How could she have given birth to such a daughter? She is like an invisible person all day long. Even the ten-year-old Lan Min knows how to compete for favor, but her daughter never competes for favor. The second wife is not valued anyway, so if her daughter doesn't compete for favor, who would notice her?
When the old lady divides her private property in the future, what will her daughter get?
Son, the second wife is not worried.
No matter how much the old lady said she loved Mu Qing, she actually still had some patriarchal ideas in her heart. When she divided her private property, her grandchildren would definitely have a share. After all, she would give her granddaughters more if they pleased her, and most likely would get nothing if they displeased her.
"Dad, Mom, think about it. My uncle is the head of the family. This should be his responsibility, but he left it to Dad to investigate. What does that mean? Don't you understand? Uncle just wants to let it go."
The person who beat up her mother must be from the eldest wife's family.
