Seeing that the Minister of Justice had no intention of cooperating, Xue Zixiao's tone became more serious: "If Lord Mu really doesn't intend to cooperate, this general really has no choice but to let the government intervene!"
"When the time comes, if Miss Mu's reputation is damaged, Sir Mu, please don't blame this general."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice found it very strange. Xue Zixiao came to the mansion to cause trouble, which could allow the government to intervene and affect Mu Lianlian's reputation?
What illegal things did Mu Lianlian do?
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at Xue Zixiao with suspicion: "If there is anything, please don't beat around the bush, General Xue, and be straightforward!"
Perhaps once he understands the interests involved, he will cooperate with Xue Zixiao.
Xue Zixiao frowned and explained impatiently, "Miss Mu was suspected of bribing someone to slander Aunt Mu when she attended the banquet a few days ago!"
"Now this general is here to thoroughly investigate this matter. I hope the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice will cooperate with us. Otherwise, if the government intervenes, it will not be so good!"
So Xue Zixiao came here to investigate Mu Lianlian specifically.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice's eyes flickered: "But what does that have to do with summoning the servants in the mansion?"
Xue Zixiao said solemnly, "Does Lord Mu want me to arrest Miss Mu and torture her to extract a confession?"
The investigation started with the servants only because we wanted to obtain evidence first and then proceed to the next step.
Therefore, if the Minister of Justice believes that Mu Lianlian is innocent, he should cooperate with Xue Zixiao.
"You said that she was suspected of bribing people to slander Aunt Mu, so she is suspected?" The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was still somewhat reluctant.
It was bad enough that his son-in-law had no respect for him at all, but he also acted bossy in front of him, which made him feel unhappy.
"If Lord Mu feels that my opinion is unconvincing, then let the government intervene. Lord Mu will have nothing to say then!"
But on the other hand, wouldn't Mu Lianlian have no way to preserve her reputation?
So, no matter what you choose, you have to cooperate with the investigation!
After the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice gradually understood what was going on, he had no choice but to call the butler and ask him to gather the servants in the mansion.
After being startled, Mu Lianlian felt vaguely uneasy, but soon calmed down again.
"As long as Mu Shasha is dead, everything will be worth it!" Mu Lianlian sneered, with no regret in her expression.
She was the legitimate daughter of the mansion, and she didn't believe that she would be asked to pay back a life.
So, even if Xue Zixiao found out something, what could he do?
Mu Lianlian looked at her face in the mirror and showed a satisfied expression.
Although the clinic has not yet opened, it has such good medicine...
The maid stood behind Mu Lianlian and praised: "Miss, your scar is really fading day by day!"
Mu Lianlian had suspected from the beginning that the clinic where Mu Shasha bought the allergy medicine was the same place that sold the miraculous scar treatment medicine.
So she went to try it that night!
Although the price was ridiculously expensive, she still gritted her teeth and bought it.
After a few days of observation, the scars are really disappearing day by day, so the high price of the product is justified.
As for Mu Shasha, she was someone she hated. She couldn't get rid of Xue Zixiao, but could Mu Shasha do the same?
Then the maid said hesitantly: "Miss, if General Xue really finds out something, then you will be held responsible for Aunt Mu's matter..."
Mu Lianlian looked through the bronze mirror and glared at the maid impatiently: "I am the legitimate daughter, how can he make me a lowly concubine's daughter?"
The maid was still worried. Did Mu Lianlian underestimate Mu Shasha's position in Xue Zixiao's heart?
After all, it was Xue Zixiao who ruined Mu Lianlian's appearance for Mu Shasha.
But the maid knew that Mu Lianlian didn't want to hear such words from her!
So, the maid finally chose to remain silent.
In the courtyard, the servants had already gathered.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice asked, "How are you going to investigate?"
Xue Zixiao did not answer, but unfolded a scroll of portraits and passed them in front of everyone one by one: "Everyone has seen it clearly, who knows this person?"
The servants looked up one by one, then quickly lowered their heads without saying anything.
Xue Zixiao reminded him again: "Whoever can prove who this person is, I will reward him with 100 taels of gold!"
When these words were spoken, the servants were all stunned.
One hundred taels of gold!
That's enough to cover a lifetime of expenses...
The servants who had originally just glanced at it began to take it seriously.
Finally, Xue Zixiao stopped in front of the butler, placed the portrait in front of him and showed it to him.
"Do you know him?"
The person who knows the people in the mansion best must be the butler.
Therefore, the butler is the person most likely to recognize the person in the painting.
After taking a look, the butler shook his head and said, "This man looks unfamiliar to me..."
Xue Zixiao said with disdain: "Really? Then bring the indenture in your house to me. I will investigate carefully to see if there is such a man among the people in it."
Although there is no portrait in the indenture, the person who does not match the scene may be the person in the painting.
The butler looked at the Minister of Justice with an embarrassed look on his face.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice still had a gloomy face. He was very dissatisfied with Xue Zixiao's behavior.
Xue Zixiao seemed to have lost all his patience. He said, "Master Mu, you'd better cooperate. Otherwise, if the government comes to investigate, it will cause even more trouble!"
The Minister of Justice pursed his lips tightly and did not agree in a hurry.
He didn't know whether this matter was related to Mu Lianlian.
But cooperating with Xue Zixiao made him very dissatisfied.
But if he doesn’t cooperate... Xue Zixiao won’t let it go.
The Minister of Justice finally nodded, and the butler walked away to get the indenture contract.
Xue Zixiao followed the housekeeper and walked away.
The butler was stunned for only a moment, but soon understood.
Xue Zixiao is worried about him and wonders what he might do.
As soon as the butler and Xue Zixiao left, the Minister of Justice waved to a servant.
The servant stepped forward, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice instructed, "Let the young lady come over!"
Xue Zixiao stood up for Mu Shasha. Originally, Mu Lianlian didn't want to show up, but the Minister of Justice sent someone to invite her, so she had no choice but to go.
When Mu Lianlian arrived reluctantly, she found the Minister of Justice sitting in the pavilion. In the courtyard, apart from the servants standing in neat rows, there was no sign of Xue Zixiao.
Mu Lianlian asked curiously: "Dad, where is Xue Zixiao?"
Although the scar on Mu Lianlian's face has faded a lot, she still wears a veil to cover her face.
"Tell me the truth, is Aunt Mu's disappearance related to you?" the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice asked with a gloomy face.
Mu Lianlian was stunned for a moment, then replied disdainfully: "She was a concubine's daughter, originally lowly, and married to become a concubine, but she thought she had turned over a new leaf and let Xue Zixiao ruin my appearance!"
"She is such a person who doesn't know how to respect others and restrain herself. She deserves whatever I do to her!"
When Mu Lianlian said this, there was a hint of resentment in her tone. She did not deny it, and she still felt that she had done nothing wrong.
