Madam Xie's family were butchers, and she only moved into the inner quarters after getting married and having children. But she was quite strong. With one slap, she knocked Manzhu down, and Gu Xin could even see the blood.
Manzhu covered her face and shook her head: "Madam, I didn't. And Miss doesn't know any shady people either. It wasn't me, it wasn't me. Please forgive me, Madam, I didn't, Madam, Miss..."
Manzhu was already somewhat incoherent, but in the end she still didn't explain the specifics.
Madam Xie's eyes were red, and she was about to hit Manzhu again.
Manzhu cried out, "Madam, spare me! Madam, spare me! I don't know, I don't know anything. Miss, Miss, wake up, wake up!"
Hearing the commotion, Master Xie rushed over: "What are you doing? Princess Xinxin is still here!"
Master Xie grabbed Madam Xie's hand, then pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, not letting her move.
Manzhu hurriedly retreated to the side, looking extremely frightened.
"Master! Yun'er is gone, our Yun'er is gone. Her hands are so cold and stiff! It must be this maid who corrupted our Yun'er. It must be her, she deliberately left Yun'er alone, it must be her!" Madam Xie cried out in grief.
"Madam, calm down. Princess Xinxin is interrogating us. We must trust the authorities and Princess Xinxin. They will definitely find the real culprit who killed Yun'er. Madam, shall we just listen in? If you disrupt Princess Xinxin's interrogation like this, won't it just take even longer to find the real culprit who killed our Yun'er?" Master Xie gently patted Madam Xie's back to comfort her.
"Waaaaah..." Madam Xie leaned against Master Xie, crying uncontrollably.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I will take my wife outside." Master Xie waited until Madam Xie's voice was quieter before apologizing to Gu Xin.
"It's alright, Mr. Xie, why don't you take Mrs. Xie out to rest?" Gu Xin nodded.
Madam Xie did nothing more and was helped out by Master Xie. Gu Xin frowned as she watched Madam Xie's back.
It wasn't that Madam Xie had done anything wrong in this case, but judging from Madam Xie's expression, Madam Xie's current condition was very bad.
It wasn't that she didn't want to make a scene anymore, but that scene had probably exhausted all her strength. Supported by Master Xie, her steps were unsteady. It was fortunate that Master Xie was tall and looked healthy; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to support someone who was completely weak, just like supporting a drunkard.
Gu Xin decided to take Madam Xie's pulse later and prescribe some calming medicine to help her fall asleep. Otherwise, Madam Xie would definitely not be able to sleep, and her health would deteriorate in a few days if she stayed up like this.
"Manzhu!" Gu Xin had the door closed, leaving only her and Manzhu in the room. She looked at Manzhu sternly, "Now it's just me. Tell me everything you know about your daughter. Otherwise, I might use other means to force you to tell me."
“Princess Xin Xin!” Manzhu knelt down straight down. However, Gu Xin no longer cared about the beauty’s knee pain. This was the deceased’s closest person, someone who could be with her like a shadow. What she knew would definitely be useful for the case.
“Speak!” Gu Xin said coldly.
At this moment, Gu Xin exuded the same chilling aura as the princess of the Western Sand Kingdom leading her elite troops to attack the Yunhai tribe's army.
