"What? You mean, Mother didn't die by hanging?"
"I've already arrested Lin's mother, who's the prime suspect, but she's stubborn and refuses to tell the truth. I've also interrogated Manager Lin, but he seems to know nothing!"
Deputy Commander Gu has already sent men to the estate to fetch their son. I imagine that once Mother Lin sees her son and grandson, she'll know what to say!
This means they intend to use Lin's son and grandson to blackmail her.
Looking at his younger sister's innocent face, filled with cold indifference, Jiang Wenlin felt for a moment that he didn't recognize her anymore!
Jiang Segu glanced at Jiang Wenlin indifferently, "Brother, come out after you've seen Father and Mother. I have something to discuss with you!"
Jiang Wenlin nodded blankly, then lifted the curtain and went inside.
The stench of blood filled the room, leaving Jiang Wenlin's mind blank.
He and his sister became orphans without parents from then on.
My nose tingled, and tears streamed down my face again.
He clenched his teeth tightly, trying not to make a sound...
Madam Jiang arrived early in the morning, fanning herself with a fan, and led Zijin towards Lanyue Courtyard.
What could have caused such a commotion at the last minute?
Last night, she ordered someone to secretly follow Zhou Mama and Qiaolian, and discovered that they eventually came to Lanyue Courtyard, where the Marquis and the Old Madam also came out one after the other.
It seems that the third branch of the family has encountered a significant problem this time!
But what could be so important that it would require searching the entire Marquis's residence?
As Madam Jiang was thinking, she heard the voice of Second Madam Jiang from behind.
"Why did you come to see your third sister-in-law so early, sister-in-law?"
Madam Jiang shuddered, patted her chest, and scolded, "Second sister-in-law, are you a cat? You walk so quietly, you're trying to scare me to death!"
"My sister-in-law was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice me coming!"
Madam Jiang, fanning herself, squinted at Second Madam Jiang. "I came here because of Yuan Niang's departure. But why did you come so early?"
"I'm here to see my sister-in-law!"
"Looking for me? What are you looking for me for?"
"Of course, I'm reminding my sister-in-law not to bring bad luck on Yuanniang's joyous occasion! You know, some things are very unlucky, and it wouldn't be good if this happy occasion coincided with a funeral!"
Madam Jiang's hand, which was fanning herself, trembled slightly. "What do you mean by that?"
"Sister-in-law is a smart woman. Go back quickly. Father and Mother will explain the matter of the third wife to you after Yuan Niang leaves!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Madam Jiang grabbed her arm, "Cao, stop right there! Explain yourself! What funeral is this? Who died?"
"Does Sister-in-law really intend to make the funeral public on Yuan Niang's big day?"
Madam Jiang loosened her grip, and Second Madam Jiang pulled back her sleeve, tidying herself up slowly. "If you're really curious, sister-in-law, you can ask Yuan Niang. I'm sure Yuan Niang knows more than I do!"
When Madam Jiang returned to her courtyard, Doukou, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, "Why should Madam Jiang try to dissuade the First Madam? With the Marquis's orders, she won't be able to enter Lanyue Courtyard anyway."
"I just hope that in the future she will remember my reminder and not make things difficult for me!"
Madam Jiang sighed deeply and instructed Doukou, "I imagine that because of Yuanniang's matter, the Marquis will suppress the funeral arrangements and will not send anyone to help the Sixth Miss. Go and ask Qiaohe if there is anything she needs. If so, please lend a hand!"
"Second Grandma, what if we do this...?"
"No, go ahead!"
***
At Chenshi (7-9 AM), Qinghong brought Lin Mama's son and grandson to the Marquis's residence. When Lin Mama saw her only son and her three-year-old grandson, she confessed everything.
"Sixth Miss, you have quite the methods. You should know that besides this son, I also have a daughter!"
Jiang Segu frowned slightly.
Qiaolian explained in a low voice, "Caiju is Lin Mama's daughter."
Is this blaming Caiju's death on her?
"If you wanted to avenge Caiju, you should have come to me. Why did you harm my mother?"
"How could someone as intelligent as Sixth Miss not know this? Why am I acting this way?"
Jiang Segu's brow furrowed more and more, and Qiaolian stepped forward and slapped Lin Mama's grandson.
A three-year-old child is already afraid of people, and if someone hits him like that, he will cry loudly, regardless of how hard it was hit!
Seeing her grandson being hit, Lin's mother struggled to step forward and protect him.
"Mrs. Lin, I advise you to answer our daughter's questions honestly, otherwise what will fall on your grandson's face later will be more than just a slap!"
Lin's mother's son felt sorry for his son, but he didn't know how his mother had offended the Sixth Miss. He could only anxiously say, "Mother, I'm not afraid of death, but Erdan is still young. Please, for the sake of Erdan being your only grandson, explain everything!"
Lin's mother glanced at her grandson with tears in her eyes, and then her expression changed when she looked at Jiang Segu.
"Sixth Miss forced my Caiju to her death, causing me, an old woman, to bury my young daughter. Naturally, I must make Sixth Miss taste the pain of losing her mother. Only then will it be fair!"
Jiang Segu suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked in a low voice, "How did you kill my mother?"
"Naturally, they took advantage of the moment and climbed in through the back window. They first smothered Third Grandmother to death, and then, not satisfied, they strangled her with a white silk ribbon!"
Her methods were exactly the same as those used by Zhao's mother in her previous life.
But how could an elderly woman hang her mother from the beam all by herself?
"Do you have any other help?"
"No!"
Jiang Segu glanced at Qiaolian, who could only pretend to pull out the silver hairpin from her hair and stab it at Lin Mama's grandson.
"No, I'll tell you! It was Zilan from the eldest grandma's courtyard who gave me the idea. She was the one who told me that last night was the perfect opportunity to make my move!"
It's still purple orchid!
But we searched the entire Marquis's mansion last night and still couldn't find this person!
Could it be that someone is covering for her?
Just then, Lin's mother kowtowed to Jiang Segu and said, "Sixth Miss, you harmed my Caiju. Now that I have killed your mother, we are even! I only beg you not to make things difficult for my son and grandson. I will give my worthless life to you, Sixth Miss!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin's mother suddenly stood up and rammed her head against a pillar.
"mother!"
"Waaaaah...Grandma..."
Jiang Segu's expression remained unchanged. "Send them back!"
Qiaolian breathed a sigh of relief; she was truly afraid that the young lady would resort to any means necessary because of the death of Third Grandmother.
While directing people to send away Lin's mother's son and grandson, Qiaolian carried Lin's mother downstairs and called for people to bring water to wash the pillars and floor.
Just then, Qiuxia arrived carrying a food box.
"Sixth Miss, the old lady sent me to bring you breakfast so that you can at least have something to eat."
Jiang Segu's gaze towards Qiu Xia was sharp and piercing.
Qiuxia's legs trembled, and she dared not go forward again.
Why is the Sixth Sister looking at her like that?
