The number of people who came is all written down in the records.
Moreover, the people in white had also investigated carefully, and they confirmed that there was indeed no one secretly working for them.
Therefore, the envoy from the south was also ruled out.
Finally, there are Ah-Lu and Ah-Yin. Who are these two?
Gu Xin called the two of them over and asked them again. After asking the same question several times, A-Lu's answer was the same, but her wording was different. Because she had been asked so many times, she was a little confused, but she was still able to give similar answers, which showed that she was telling the truth.
As for Ah Yin, it was as if there was a standard answer in advance, and her answers were almost exactly the same every time.
Therefore, Gu Xin made up her mind about A Yin.
The one who seemed calm, spoke in a very soft voice, and appeared terrified of her surroundings, yet could not be woken up by thunder.
Gu Xin asked A-Lu whether A-Yin was sure she was sleeping when she returned to her room to rest after watching Princess Nanlin fall asleep. Also, after A-Lu fell asleep, did she hear any other sounds besides being woken up by thunder?
Ah-Lu said no.
When she went back to sleep, Ah Yin was already fast asleep.
The two were both personal maids of Princess Nanlin. Because Princess Nanlin had been severely punished by Gu Xin yesterday afternoon, Princess Nanlin's violent temper caused the two personal maids to suffer. They were on edge all night and dared not relax for a moment.
Therefore, she was not surprised at all that Ah Yin was sleeping so soundly. When people are tired, they will sleep very deeply once they relax and rest.
This also applies to her; she slept soundly after falling asleep and did not hear any other sounds.
After being awakened by the thunder, she rushed to the bedside to keep Princess Nanlin company. She didn't even have time to check if Ayin was still asleep, because at that moment she was worried that Princess Nanlin would throw another tantrum if she was awakened.
She was in a hurry, so she didn't wake Ah Yin.
So after she got up, she didn't check with her own eyes to see if A Yin was resting in bed. When she saw A Yin again, she found that Princess Nanlin was no longer breathing and screamed in fright. Only then did A Yin appear and tell her to go find the envoy.
In other words, during the hour or so that A-Lu could rest at night, she couldn't testify for A-Yin.
As for Ah Yin, all her answers were that she was sleeping. She woke up when she heard the noise. When asked why the thunder didn't wake her, she said she wasn't afraid of thunder because she was familiar with Ah Lü's voice and thought something had happened to Ah Lü.
Gu Xin pressed further, asking if the fact that she wasn't afraid of thunder meant that she was actually awake when she heard it, but just wanted to be lazy and hide away so that A-Lu could go see Princess Nanlin.
When Ah Yin answered, she had thought about it. Although the time was short, she had indeed thought about it, unlike other questions where she could answer quickly.
Therefore, Gu Xin concluded that something was wrong with A Yin.
However, she said nothing and planned to look for more evidence.
Even if we're looking for evidence, we can definitely get it done before dark. But now that we have the Lin family and Lu Ni involved, there's no rush.
Gu Xin had already secretly kept an eye on A Yin, and similarly, she hadn't let A Lü off the hook either; she was keeping an eye on both of the maids.
Although Ah-Lu acted as if everything was normal, we can't be careless. Maybe she knows everything and is just putting on a show to take advantage of Ah-Yin?
No one should be let off the hook until the truth is fully uncovered.
