Chapter 561 Murderer
With Nangong Jin's intervention, the matter naturally became simpler. Xu Miaomiao had a rare good sleep. When she woke up in the morning, the beds around her were already cold. It seemed that Song Wu Shao had already been sent to the government office early. Although he was a minor official, County Magistrate Hu was a man who did whatever he wanted and did not care about anything, so Song Wu Shao also became busy.
Nangong Jin was very fast. Xu Miaomiao had just finished talking to him yesterday, and someone came up today. When he heard that Nangong Jin was here, Xu Miaomiao immediately put on his clothes, invited Nangong Jin in, and bowed to him: "Mr. Nangong, how are you?"
Nangong Jin was also very impolite. He immediately looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, I checked and found out that they are on their way to be exiled. Liu Juan has been bullied."
"Bullying?" Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows in disbelief when she heard this: "You mean Liu Juan is no longer innocent."
The doubts in Xu Miaomiao's heart were cleared up at this moment. When she was with Xu Qingshan, Xu Miaomiao clearly saw a touch of bright red on the bed. So it seemed that Qingshan must not have touched Liu Juan. If Liu Juan was really no longer innocent, then her child was no longer innocent either.
Could it be that Liu Juan had already started to lose the game from that time on?
Nangong Jin didn't say anything. He looked at Xu Miaomiao's face and laughed. Seeing him laugh, Xu Miaomiao immediately came back to her senses and looked at Nangong Jin embarrassedly: "Madam Xu, have you thought of a solution to the problem just now? This is your Song Mansion's matter. How should it be resolved?"
"We are just suspecting, and we have no evidence to prove that Liu Juan suffered such a thing at the border."
"Those soldiers also died in the war. There is no offline evidence to prove this, unless Mr. Xu still remembers something."
Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "Xu Qingshan was drugged that day. Not to mention his memory, he can't even remember what happened."
Xu Miaomiao sighed, wondering why he always encountered so much.
The two were still discussing when a shout was heard outside the pavilion.
Xu Miaomiao frowned subconsciously.
"Madam, something's wrong. Something's wrong with the young master. You should go and see him quickly."
Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She had just finished talking to Liu Juan yesterday, and the young master was not feeling well.
After taking a look at Nangong Jin, Xu Miaomiao didn't think much and followed Xiao Si out, with Nangong Jin following behind.
Xu Miaomiao came to the backyard. The yard was in a state of desolation. Liu Juan was crying while holding her child. Gu Yuan's mother was also at a loss. When she saw Xu Miaomiao, she seemed to have seen a savior. She immediately pulled him and said, "Miaomiao, you are finally here. Please check on Liu Juan's child. Is everything okay?"
Xu Miaomiao walked over and saw Liu Juan crying, but she just stood beside her without approaching. She just raised the corners of her mouth and gently picked up the child. Xu Miaomiao felt his pulse and found that he had stopped breathing.
The child was completely dead at this time.
Xu Miaomiao didn't know whether Liu Juan did this on purpose. While she was talking, Madam Zhang came in and hugged her dying grandson in her arms: "How could this happen? I finally had a grandson. How could this happen? Who did this?"
Liu Juan burst into tears when she heard this. She glanced at Gu Yuanniang and then said, "Today I saw Madam Gu coaxing the child in the cradle and came over twice. Could it be that..."
"Impossible, Liu Niang would never do such a thing." Upon hearing this, Xu Qingshan immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Yuanniang.
Liu Juan started crying, not giving anyone a chance to explain. Gu Yuan's mother was also a little anxious, and she immediately explained to everyone, "I didn't do it. I just wanted to comfort him. He was still fine in the cradle when I came. How could such a thing happen? He even smiled at me. Besides, why would I harm a baby who is still in swaddling clothes? There is no reason for me to do that."
"It must be you, it must be you, because I gave birth to a boy for Mr. Xu, and I have promised you that I will not ask to be Mr. Xu's concubine again. I only ask that the child can grow up safely and healthily. But why, why, why don't you even agree to such a simple request of mine."
Liu Juan was a little heartbroken, as if she was really sad. The woman in front of the balloon could let his child go. Gu Yuan's mother was also anxious and full of guilt: "At that time, I just saw that the wind outside was a little strong, so I covered the child with the quilt at night. Could it be that the child was suffocated to death? Can such a small baby push such a heavy quilt by himself?"
"That must be the case. Poor child, he's gone within a month. What should I do?" Liu Juan said as she cried sadly, as if she wanted to follow the child and leave. Xu Miaomiao remained silent beside her.
Madam Zhang immediately got angry and slapped her. Xu Qingshan's pupils shrank, and he didn't have time to stop her. He could only hug Gu Yuanniang tightly in his arms: "Are you okay, Liu Niang?"
Xu Qingshan protected Gu Yuanniang, but Gu Yuanniang's eyes turned red and she suddenly became aggrieved: "She is not my mother."
"Then tell me, who else in the Song Mansion hates them the most for keeping the mother and daughter."
Gu Yuanniang was speechless. Today he just wanted to come and see the child, but he didn't want something like this to happen.
Xu Miaomiao stood there indifferently.
Nangong Jin's eyes also became deep. This was a matter within Xu Miaomiao's family, and he didn't want to say a few more words. However, Liu Juan was really scheming, so how could such a thing happen by coincidence? He had already investigated Liu Juan's identity clearly, and such an incident happened today, which really made Nangong Jin a little suspicious.
Xu Miaomiao remained silent and refused to speak.
Originally thinking that she was also unwilling to believe it, Gu Yuanniang immediately walked up to Xu Miaomiao, looked at him and said, "Miaomiao, you must believe me, I really don't want to harm this child's name."
Xu Miaomiao patted Gu Yuanniang's hand comfortingly, but Liu Juan on the side was unhappy and said, "Then how did my child become like this?"
"You can't give birth to a child yourself, so you treat my child like this!"
Liu Juan roared in the direction of Gu Yuanniang, like a puppet without a soul, abandoning even the last bit of hope of life.
