She knocked Concubine Lian unconscious and waited outside for a while. After Lin gave birth, she knocked Lin unconscious again.
She didn't dare to disturb others, so she took the child and left the mansion alone. She planned to throw the child away, then call the old lady to see her when she came back, and then she could say that Lin was a monster.
But after throwing the child away, she was a little scared and looked at it for a long time. Only after the child was picked up did she hurried back home. When she returned home and called people to Hanyan Pavilion, Concubine Lian had already woken up, and Lin was also with a baby girl.
Concubine Xue was afraid and did not dare to say much at the time. Later, she found out that Concubine Lian was a firm believer in ghosts, gods and sorcery, so she used this to threaten her.
After Su Qingyu heard what happened, she wanted to strangle the person to death. Her eyes were fixed on Aunt Xue fiercely.
Shen Zhixiu knew she must be furious, so he whispered, "Go sit down for a while. I'll have someone bring you a pot of tea. I need to ask her again if what she said is true."
"Don't worry, as long as the person is alive, we will find him."
Seeing that Su Qingyu was still in a daze, Shen Zhixiu simply grabbed her arm and pushed her to sit on the chair.
He then instructed Wenzhu, "Send someone a pot of tea."
Su Qingyu sat in the chair, calmed down, and listened to Shen Zhixiu continue the interrogation.
As I listened, I found that Shen Zhixiu was very skillful in asking questions. He would ask many repetitive questions, but he would ask them in different ways.
Sometimes two seemingly unrelated questions can reveal whether Aunt Xue is telling the truth.
Shen Zhixiu continued questioning for more than half an hour, and only stopped the interrogation after confirming that there were no omissions.
He walked over to Su Qingyu, leaned over and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What are you going to do with this person?"
Su Qingyu raised her eyes and met his deep eyes. After a moment of distraction, she said, "It's better to keep her here. If you find my brother, she will be a witness."
Moreover, with Aunt Xue's status, it would be much more useful for her to stay in the mansion as a spy than to be locked up.
She thought for a moment and said, "Isn't Su Yuankai still in the Ministry of Justice? If he can be released here, we can send him to the manor outside the capital. As long as we can control Su Yuankai, we don't have to worry about Concubine Xue being disobedient."
Shen Zhixiu nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll do as you say."
Wen Zhu saw that the interrogation was almost over, so he stepped forward and said, "Third Master, you haven't slept for two days and two nights. Go back home and rest first."
Shen Zhixiu turned around and glared at Wen Zhu, almost scolding him for talking too much.
A sly smile appeared in Wenzhu's eyes. Such important news should not be told to Miss Su?
Otherwise, how would Miss Su know the Third Master’s efforts?
