As soon as Lan Ziye landed, a sparrow flew in front of her. After chirping for a while, it switched to human language and said, "Miss Lan, City Lord, I'll help you lead the way!"
Lan Ziye looked at Su Muhan with a puzzled look. When did he send this little sparrow?
The little bird demon hesitated and said awkwardly, "The city lord's aura is too strong. I sensed it when you were outside just now. I wanted to come and see if you needed any help, but I didn't expect that I could actually help!"
Lan Ziye silently gave the little sparrow a thumbs up in his heart, thinking it had a bright future!
She smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Miss Queyao!"
To be honest, she had never been to the eldest lady's courtyard and really didn't know where she lived. It would be nice to have someone lead the way.
The little bird demon's gray feathers instantly turned red. It flapped its wings twice and said shyly, "Miss Lan, City Lord, please follow me!" Then it flew in front to lead the way.
They had to go out. The bird demon really led them to the best route. The whole way was a small path, and they walked among flowers and willows without seeing a single person from the Zhu family. This saved Lan Ziye and Su Muhan a lot of trouble.
The courtyard where the eldest son and the eldest lady lived was very different from Zhu Ning's villa. Their courtyard was located at the southernmost part of the Zhu family. It was an antique building with five entrances and five exits. The courtyard was full of precious flowers and plants, and it looked exquisite and elegant.
Lan Ziye turned through archways, hanging flower gates, and crescent-shaped gates, and finally found the eldest lady's room among a group of buildings.
At this time, the eldest lady was sitting alone in front of the dressing table in the room, staring at the mirror in a daze.
Lan Ziye easily opened the door and walked in.
The moment the door opened, the eldest lady turned around abruptly. She was startled when she saw Lan Ziye, but she soon calmed down. She looked at Lan Ziye coldly and said, "I wonder what Miss Lan is doing here in the middle of the night?" After a pause, she said, "The eldest lady of the Lan family doesn't behave like someone from a wealthy family at all!"
"I was the one who kidnapped the wet nurse. She committed suicide out of fear of punishment!" Lan Ziye didn't want to waste time talking to the eldest lady, so he said directly.
The eldest lady was slightly stunned. Just as she was about to speak, Lan Ziye spoke first, "The nanny took all the blame. She said she killed Zhu Fei and drugged Zhu Ning. She drugged Zhu Ning to avenge the fifth son and fifth wife of the Zhu family, and killed Zhu Fei to avenge you! I have already told Zhu Ning everything the nanny said to me!"
The eldest lady was a little bewildered and asked, "Then why did Zhu Ning insist on holding a funeral for the wet nurse, buying a tomb for her, and letting her rest in peace? Moreover, Zhu Ning said that the wet nurse died accidentally, and did not mention any crime she had committed!"
Lan Ziye shrugged and said, "Zhu Ning is grateful for the care of the nanny, and doesn't want her to rest in peace after her death!"
The eldest lady took a deep breath, her eyes a little evasive as she asked, "Then why did you come to my room in the middle of the night?"
"I don't believe what the nanny said!" Lan Ziye said.
After a pause, he continued, "I asked someone to examine Zhu Fei's body and analyze the poison she was poisoned with. She was poisoned by a chronic poison that required continuous consumption for a month to penetrate deep into her bone marrow and kill her. Obviously, the nanny couldn't do that! I can only say that Zhu Fei's death in Zhu Ning's room was a coincidence. Even if she didn't go to Zhu Ning and didn't die in Zhu Ning's room, she would have died somewhere else!"
