"What she wants is your brother's safety, and for the adults not to pursue your brother's case. She's not going to the adults, but to the Old Madam and Madam, because she thinks they're kind-hearted and that she can use the child in your womb to manipulate them. But even if the Wang family wasn't wealthy, there have always been scholars in their lineage. Their family motto is that they'd rather admit their own mistakes than protect a criminal. Madam's family are wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, and Madam is well-educated and reasonable. If she truly only wanted new household registrations for you and your mother, and didn't want to protect someone like your brother, she would have done it. She would even have agreed to you becoming a concubine while pregnant. But is that what your mother wants?"
"Your mother and your brother and sister-in-law certainly didn't tell you when I went to deliver the money the second time! After they took the money, your mother definitely gave it all to your brother. So, in your heart, my master didn't care about you, didn't intervene, right? In your heart, your mother went to the Old Madam and Madam for you, and was then forced to her death by the Old Madam and Madam? You really know how to think!"
The head butler cried.
He felt the same way as Fatty Wang at that moment, wanting to kill the ignorant woman in front of him.
On what grounds?
Why should so many lives be sacrificed to uncover this truth?
Zhang Liu still didn't believe the head steward's words, but what use was it to her whether she believed him or not at this moment?
Gu Xin walked to the other side of Fatty Wang and asked, "Zhang Liu Shi, who is your accomplice? Your son and daughter-in-law?"
After asking the question, Gu Xin glanced at the silly girl who was still staring blankly at Lu Zheng.
Zhang Liu sneered, "My son is too weak to even go to Hongyuan Temple, how could he possibly kill people? I killed all of these people, Your Highness, judge him! Whether he's beheaded or torn apart by five horses, he'll have the Wang family with him when he goes down!"
"you!"
"calm!"
Wang Pangzi was enraged, but Lu Zheng held him back tightly.
Gu Xin sneered, "You don't need to provoke him. I won't let him get his hands dirty with the blood of someone like you. Since you know I'm Princess Xin Xin, and you've admitted to murder, do you know that I can say your son is an accomplice? I've said it, and no one will doubt it. You want to die so easily? Impossible, give up on that idea!"
Zhang Liu panicked and shook her head repeatedly: "No, my son really didn't kill anyone. I did all of this."
Gu Xin said, "Really? Then tell me, how did you get Madam Wang to hang herself?"
Zhang Liushi said, "I told her that my son looks exactly like Lord Wang when he was young. I told her that Lord Wang had contacted me, that her son was disobedient and useless, but my son was filial and good at studying. Even though he was sickly since childhood, he had already passed the imperial examination. Lord Wang liked my son very much and would abandon them. So, Lady Wang was so angry that she hanged herself."
Gu Xin smiled and said, "Really? Madam Wang hanged herself with a rope?"
Zhang Liu nodded: "Yes, yes. At that time, the woman said that her son was useless, and that if my son and I appeared, we would gradually win over Lord Wang's heart. She was suffering in her life, so she might as well end it all with a rope. Then I even helped her tie the rope to the roof beam."
"You're lying!" Gu Xin said sharply. "Madam Wang was murdered before being hanged. So you have no idea how Madam Wang died."
