"Besides that, is there anything else?" Gu Xin asked, seemingly unconcerned about the question.
"This..." Miss Feng was clearly surprised that Gu Xin didn't think much about it and directly avoided the question. She was speechless for a moment.
Miss Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
When it comes to understanding the sisters in the mansion, besides her legitimate sister, Miss Feng the Third, she knows her best about her illegitimate sister, Miss Feng the Sixth.
She was more thoughtful than the other women in the family. She didn't think that Miss Feng was helping her by saying that; it was clearly trying to harm her.
She claimed that Third Miss Feng had stolen her glory, but only to make Princess Xin Xin suspect her and investigate her.
She is not the murderer, but if there is any suspicion, the Feng family members present are all women. The master may ensure that the Feng family's honor will not be questioned, but the servants will inevitably say something.
With the death of Miss Feng the Third, their stepmother must be treating them even worse than before. And when Miss Feng the Sixth revealed these things, no matter who it was, it affected the reputation of her deceased daughter, and Madam Feng would blame everything on her.
Originally, Madam Feng the Second treated her and Miss Feng the Sixth equally badly. But after this incident, she was certain that her stepmother would treat her even worse than Miss Feng the Sixth.
Miss Feng Liu looks somewhat like Miss Feng San. If she were to learn from Miss Feng San's mannerisms, it would be obvious who would be better off between the two illegitimate daughters of the second branch of the family when there is no legitimate daughter.
If it were when she was a child, Miss Feng might not have thought much about it, but now that she's reached marriageable age, she's genuinely worried that her stepmother will dislike her even more and arrange a marriage for her randomly.
Princess Xinxin clearly wasn't following Miss Feng's train of thought, so Miss Feng breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Gu Xinxin wouldn't continue asking about it, as this would have less of an impact on her.
"Your Highness, I know little else." Seeing that Gu Xin didn't speak but just stared at her, Miss Feng Liu felt a little uneasy and finally said nothing.
Gu Xin nodded and gestured for her and Miss Feng to sit back down.
Next were the girls from the first and third wives' households. These girls had testimonies confirming that they had been sleeping in their rooms from 9 PM last night until this morning. Gu Xin also asked them about their knowledge of Miss Feng the Third.
These girls were all heartbroken. Although they had just heard Sister Feng Liu say that Sister Feng San had said a lot of bad things about them, Sister Feng San was, after all, a life, a sister in the family, and someone they had grown up with since childhood. Now that she was dead, who would still be angry about what she had said?
When a person dies, it means that person is no longer there in this life; she disappears from one's life forever.
Therefore, they were heartbroken.
Sitting beside her, Sister Feng listened to her sisters' quiet sobs. Her fists clenched in her sleeves, but she also shed tears quietly along with them.
Gu Xin glanced at her once and then looked at her again.
After the Feng family's daughters were interrogated, they became maids and servants.
Gu Xin focused her interrogation on Miss Feng's maid, Que'er, because she had learned from Miss Feng's sixth daughter that Miss Feng usually treated her maids poorly.
However, it can be seen from Que'er's words that Que'er did not hold a grudge.
She and Ying'er are sisters. The two sisters were servants of the Feng family and knew from a young age how to treat the masters of the mansion. Over the past ten years, their ideas have become deeply ingrained.
