Chapter 231 Script
The guests were very confused about the fact that the real murderer of the eldest daughter was the old lady played by Lin Mian. In addition, in the script they got, the old lady attached great importance to the family honor and had long wanted to send her granddaughter to the palace to let the family return to its former heyday.
They didn't understand why such an old lady would kill the protagonist who made the family prosperous, and why she would kill the eldest daughter even though she would be held accountable by the emperor.
Jiang Ning picked up the Buddhist beads, peeled them off, revealing the bloody string and said.
"This blood was left by the murderer when he killed the young lady. Even if it was wiped away in a hurry, the moment was too short to notice that the blood had flowed onto the string."
"This doesn't prove that the old lady was the one who killed him. Didn't Lin Mian say that her Buddhist beads were washed by a maid?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "A maid took it out, but she didn't wash it, she bought it. This string of Buddhist beads is made of golden sandalwood and is very valuable. It could be worth a lot of money."
The guests looked at the Buddhist beads that the director had found as materials, which were worth only ten yuan at most, and suppressed the corners of their mouths that were raised.
Jiang Ning continued calmly, "This maid is Yu Lei. She is the eldest lady's personal maid and has the eldest lady's trust. If the other party is off guard, it is easy for her to kill them with a weapon."
She said, waving the bloody knife.
At this time, Yu Lei, who was being watched by the guests, nodded and told her hidden script.
"I was bribed by the old lady to kill the eldest lady because my brother had to pay a large sum of money for gambling, otherwise his hands would be chopped off. I had no choice but to harm the eldest lady for money."
"But I still don't know how the old lady could kill people." Zhu Jixun said with a frown.
Yu Lei: "In my script, I wrote that before seeing the eldest daughter, she was drugged by the nanny beside the old lady. As a result, the eldest daughter was kept in the boudoir for a long time. I wonder if this is related."
Everyone looked at Jiang Ning, hoping she would clarify their confusion.
"Let's go to the Miss's room and look for clues." Jiang Ning felt that detective variety shows require participation to feel the essence. What's the fun in just eating the melons with the melon-eating system?
The guests came to the eldest lady's boudoir and searched again. Finally, Lin Mian, who had recently been exposed to ancient costume political dramas and had watched many such films, found a secret compartment under the cabinet.
After everyone opened it together, they saw two letters hidden in the secret compartment.
One is a love letter written by the servant played by Qi Tao, and the other is a letter from the eldest lady saying that the child has been aborted by someone arranged by the old lady. She has lost both her lover and her child, and is heartbroken.
"From this perspective, the eldest lady is not a virgin and has a child. The old lady was afraid that these things would be discovered by the palace and bring disaster to the family, so she bribed the maid to kill the eldest lady?" Zhu Jixun made a summary.
In ancient times, people valued a woman's chastity, so this speculation is very likely.
Jiang Ning took out a jade ring from the bottom layer of the secret compartment, which was the same as Chen Lin's.
"It seems that there is more than that. The eldest lady seems to have a relationship with Eunuch Chen as well."
Everyone looked at Chen Lin, and Chen Lin began to talk about the script in an irritable manner.
"Before my character entered the palace, I forced the eldest daughter. After returning this time, I forced her again. I accidentally dropped a jade ring. The other jade ring wasn't taken away. I used it to bribe someone to take action against the eldest daughter. I hid these things forever and then planned to let the second daughter enter the palace, but the old lady got there first."
After hearing this, everyone sorted out the whole story and suffered. In the end, the only person who was killed was the eldest daughter.
"Feudal ideas and the so-called family honor are killing people," Zhu Jixun sighed.
Meng Ying was a carefree person, but she was not too sad about the sad story of the eldest lady she played. She was still curious about one thing.
"Is the eldest lady's death related to the subsequent deaths of people in the house?"
"Maybe it's a story about a wronged ghost seeking revenge?" Yu Lei, who loves watching foreign ghost movies, guessed.
The script has been completed, but this doubt has not been revealed. The guests looked at the director and asked him to explain.
The director touched his head and said with a bitter face, "The story ends here. I don't know."
Everyone still looked unconvinced. Some thought that the next script would be kept for later recording and might not be convenient to disclose, so they didn't ask any more questions.
