Lan Ziye smiled politely and said, "Thank you very much, Master Zhu!"
After saying that, Lan Ziye and the other two followed the man named Zhu Mu to where Zhu Ning lived.
Having been here once before, Lan Ziye was quite familiar with the place.
The person who opened the door was still the nanny. She looked very haggard and pale on her face. She was obviously stunned when she saw Lan Ziye and others. Then she wiped her tears and said, "Are you the third young lady's classmates?" The words were a question, but the tone was affirmative. The nanny recognized Lan Ziye and Lan Rongrong.
Lan Ziye nodded, didn't say anything to the nanny, and walked straight into the villa.
"I heard from Master Zhu that you were the first person to discover Zhu Fei's body. What happened that day?" Lan Ziye sat down on the sofa in the living room and asked the nanny coldly.
Facing Lan Ziye's eyes that seemed to see through everything, the nanny looked away unnaturally and said with her head lowered, "The night before yesterday, the fourth lady came to see the third lady and said she had something important to tell her. She asked me not to disturb them and even closed the door."
"They talked until after ten o'clock in the evening. The third young lady always went to bed at ten o'clock. I saw that the fourth young lady had not left yet, so I knocked on the door to remind her, but... but I knocked for a long time, and no one in the room responded. I was very anxious and worried, so I took the spare key to open the door, but... I saw the fourth young lady lying in the room with blood all over her face and body. There was no trace of the third young lady in the room!" At this point, the nanny's face was full of horror. "I was really scared and hurriedly called the head of the family. The head of the family sent the family doctor over. The family doctor diagnosed that the fourth young lady had died of poisoning. The poison she was poisoned with was so strong that she bled from all seven orifices. The blood on the fourth young lady's face and body was her own blood!"
Having said that, the nanny glanced at Lan Ziye cautiously and saw that Lan Ziye had no reaction. He just looked at the nanny calmly, as if he was listening to a very boring story. Only Lan Rongrong and Jin Ruozhen beside him turned pale with fright, but because Lan Ziye was sitting there motionless, they didn't move either.
The nurse swallowed and continued, "The master sent people to look for the third young lady, and they found her in the yard. She was covered in blood..." After a pause, she continued, "Maybe it was the first time the third young lady had killed someone. She was scared and had been away for a long time, so she fainted in the yard. When we found her, she was very emotional, so the master had no choice but to take her away and lock her up!"
Lan Ziye frowned and said, "So you're the only eyewitness to the whole incident of Zhu Ning poisoning Zhu Fei?"
"The third young lady has never been valued by the family since she was a child. There were originally few servants assigned to her. At night, those servants went to rest, and I was the only one serving by their side! It has been like this for so many years!" said the nanny.
"Then can I think that maybe you poisoned Zhu Fei and put the blame on Zhu Ning, and Zhu Ning ran away in excitement because he witnessed you killing someone?" Lan Ziye speculated with a smile on his face.
The nurse's expression suddenly changed as she retorted, "Miss Lan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want! I've been in the Zhu family for twenty years and have taken care of the Third Miss for over a decade. I've always been loyal to the Zhu family, and I love the Third Miss like my own child. Ask anyone in the Zhu family, and no one will say anything bad about the Third Miss!"
