The person who rushed out was a middle-aged woman. Her originally timid temperament was completely different at this moment, and her eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
When everyone saw the woman clearly, the whole place was silent for a moment.
Isn't this the eldest master's aunt? Why is she here?
Su Qingxue's face became more and more ugly. Her lips trembled as she wanted to say something to her aunt, but she couldn't utter a word.
The woman rushed to Zhen Shicheng and knelt down on the ground: "I pushed the person into the lake. It has nothing to do with the second lady."
"This is--" Zhen Shicheng looked at Master Su.
Master Su looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with a dark complexion and said awkwardly, "She is my concubine."
Zhen Shicheng suddenly realized: "Is she Miss Su's biological mother?"
Mr. Su nodded.
This concubine had no sense of existence in his daily life, and he almost forgot that she existed.
Zhen Shicheng looked at the woman coldly.
This man suddenly rushed out to admit his crime. Most people might think that the aunt loved her daughter so much that she took the blame for her daughter, but she never had a preconceived opinion of people right away, whether it was a good opinion or a bad one.
"Aunt, please tell me the details." Zhen Shicheng said lightly.
The woman raised her head and glanced at Youshi quickly. Her panicked expression calmed down. She straightened her back and said, "I met the second young lady not long ago. I wanted to have a good talk with her, but she left in a hurry. I rarely see the second young lady. I miss her so much. I finally met her but couldn't say a few words. I felt very upset. I walked forward in despair. I didn't expect to walk to Juxia Lake and see the second young master and the cousin..."
She spoke slowly and calmly, and everyone present listened silently. Only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the rippling water on the lake were vivid.
The woman's eyes fell on Jiang Si's face.
The girl has a very beautiful face and is so young.
The woman's eyes softened, and she said slowly, "The second young master stopped the cousin and wanted to play with her, but the cousin ignored him and left in a hurry with her maid. I saw the second young master standing there very unhappy, so I walked over and told him that the cousin didn't go far. If he didn't believe me, let him look into the lake, and there was the cousin's shadow there -"
Jiang Zhan was so angry when he heard this that he cursed: "Can you speak human language?"
Saying that there is the shadow of the fourth sister in the lake, isn’t this a curse for the fourth sister to fall into the water?
Jiang Ancheng slapped Jiang Zhan and scolded, "Don't interrupt!"
Hearing the crucial moment!
"Then what?" Zhen Shicheng asked gently.
The woman smiled and said, "Second Young Master is a fool. When he heard that, he rushed to the lake to have a look. He said he couldn't see it, so I told him to lower his head and take a closer look. Then, when he bent down and lowered his head, I pushed him into the lake with force..."
As she spoke, the woman's expression became increasingly cold, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Why did you do this?" Mr. Su couldn't help but ask.
"Why?" The woman's eyes slowly turned, and she looked at Master Su with a colder smile, "Master, have you forgotten how Brother Lin died?"
As soon as the woman said this, everyone started whispering.
Zhen Shicheng heard about Lin Ge'er's identity from people's conversation. It turned out that Lin Ge'er was the woman's son, but he died in infancy. In the end, he was not ranked among the younger generation, let alone included in the family tree.
The woman simply stood up and shouted, "That idiot pushed Lin'er off the rockery and killed him! Poor Lin'er, he was less than three years old, so smart and cute, he would always throw himself into my arms and call me aunt, but he was killed by that idiot."
As the woman spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks: "As a result, because that idiot came out of my belly, he was not in any trouble at all, and he was not even scolded!"
"If that's the case, why did you wait until today to take action?" Zhen Shicheng asked without any emotion.
The woman laughed at herself, "Because I am a lowly person, my own son was killed, but I still have a daughter. For my daughter to live well, I can only grit my teeth and bear it."
"You can't bear it now?"
"I can't bear it anymore." The woman wiped the tears from her eyes vigorously. "That idiot has hurt people again. He pushed the third young master off the rockery. The third young master was lucky enough to survive, but who knows how many more people that idiot will hurt in the future? So, it's better for him to die."
At the end, the woman's expression was as cold as a knife.
Second wife Xu couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her eyes turned red instantly.
She had been married for many years and had only one son, Baoger. She loved him like a treasure, but he was harmed by someone and became like that. Now, whenever she closed her eyes, the image of Baoger with blood on his face appeared in front of her eyes, and she had nightmares almost every moment.
But she had no idea what to do. Others would say, "Are you arguing with a fool?"
She had no intention of harming anyone, but it was impossible to say that she didn't have any resentment. Unexpectedly, someone would vent her anger for her.
Zhen Shicheng looked at the woman quietly and sighed for a long time: "Auntie is so impulsive today, is it related to Miss Su Er?"
The woman couldn't help but look at Su Qingxue.
Su Qingxue lowered her head instantly and didn't even look at the woman.
The woman suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, who made the second girl disdain to even talk to me, her biological mother? My son is dead, and my daughter doesn't treat me as a human being, so why am I still living such a miserable life instead of avenging my son?"
Today is the anniversary of Lin Ge'er's death. She felt extremely heartbroken and wanted to talk to her daughter very much, but all she got in return was her daughter's contempt.
Su Qingxue raised her head suddenly and looked at the woman with resentment in her eyes.
"You little slave!" Yu pointed at the woman, her face turning blue with anger.
At this moment, she wanted to order someone to kill the villain in front of her with a knife, but her remaining rationality prevented her from acting rashly.
The woman laughed without hesitation: "Madam, if you call me a lowly servant, then so be it. I am a lowly person to begin with, haha, it is not a pity for me to die."
"You, you lunatic!" Youshi had never expected that the concubine who was always humble would speak to her like this. She was so angry that she trembled all over.
Zhen Shicheng stared at Su Qingxue and spoke word by word, "Second Miss Su, when my aunt pushed Second Young Master Su into the water, you were watching from Chaoyang Pavilion, right?"
Although he had concluded from experience that his aunt was not lying, there was no evidence, and it would be difficult to convince the public to just close the case like that.
Su Qingxue's body shook, and her resentment towards the woman reached its peak.
Why do they have to drag her into this? Can't these people just let her go?
Zhen Shicheng's face straightened, and he said in a stern voice: "There is a handkerchief as evidence. If Miss Su Er still doesn't tell the truth, then I can only conclude that you and Auntie have teamed up to kill Master Su Er——"
Su Qingxue suddenly interrupted Zhen Shicheng: "I didn't!"
Zhen Shicheng looked at her expressionlessly.
Su Qingxue lost her temper and covered her face, saying, "Yes, I was in Chaoyang Pavilion at that time and saw my aunt push my second brother into the lake..."
