What the maid said exactly matched Ni Yueshuang's guess just now.
It does make sense!
If Ni Yueshan was upset because of the punishment and lost his temper, the incense and candles would be knocked over, causing a fire.
Ni Yueshan felt resentful that he had not put out the fire in time, which led to the current disaster. Everything could be explained!
Ni Gaofei looked at the maid sternly: "Why are you passing by the ancestral hall at night?"
"I lost my earrings and only discovered them after I went to bed, so I went out to look for them!"
The people present took a look at her earlobe and found that one was missing...
As luck would have it, she heard Ni Yueshan getting angry and became a witness!
Ni Yueshan looked at the maid and raised her lips slightly. If there was a witness to prove her guilt, it meant that someone had deliberately framed her.
But she only has three enemies in the Xiangfu now...
The messenger is one of them.
Ni Gaofei's gaze finally fell on Ni Yueshan, and he asked, "How do you explain this?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Ni Gaofei with a calm expression, "Dad, if this was me, then I'm really stupid, right? If anything goes wrong, I'll be the first one to be held accountable! Isn't this just shooting myself in the foot?"
Ni Yueshuang said quietly, "This is exactly where you excel, isn't it? Didn't you just argue that someone let a mouse in there? But the people who added incense didn't see any mouse inside!"
So she, Ni Yueshan, is suspected of lying!
If she can't produce strong evidence, then she will have to take the blame...
"Yueshan!" Ni Gaofei raised his voice.
Ni Yueshan frowned and responded: "Dad, this matter needs to be investigated!"
"Are you trying to say you need time again?" Tian You spoke at the right moment, looking at Ni Yueshan with disdain in his eyes, "You're playing the same trick again!"
Every time this proposal was made, the end result was that Ni Yueshan was innocent and the guilty ones became the people from their second house!
Ni Gaofei also frowned. This matter seemed simple, but he couldn't tell whether there was any injustice involved!
Ren Mei learned that the fire was related to Ni Yueshan, so she walked over and knelt down. "Master, I believe in the young lady. She will definitely not get angry and destroy the ancestral hall! Please give her a chance! Let her prove her innocence!"
She kowtowed heavily, showing her protective attitude towards Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan looked at Ni Gaofei and asked, "Dad, please give your daughter a chance to investigate!"
"Master." Tian You knelt down towards Ni Gaofei.
"Master, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that if I give her two or three days, she'll bring up some inside story and say it was our Second House's doing! I really don't want to...be punished again! I've already repented!"
"Mrs. Tian, just because you're afraid, won't you give our young lady a chance to investigate? Should she be wrongly accused and suspected by the master?"
Ren Mei plucked up the courage to look directly at Tian You and stood up for Ni Yueshan.
Tian You glared at Ren Mei: "You little girl, you are just a slave! But how long have you served Yue Shan? How dare you talk back to her?"
Tian You's skin was whiter than snow, and her face was flushed red because of anger. When she glared at people, she looked cold yet beautiful. There were tears in her eyes, and she looked aggrieved, which made it easy for people to sympathize with her.
Ni Gaofei was silent.
Ni Yueshuang also knelt on the ground and said, "Father, since my eldest sister returned to the mansion, there have indeed been constant troubles. The mansion used to be so peaceful! Who is the one who destroyed the peace in the mansion?"
When Ni Yingying saw that both of them knelt down, she also knelt down.
Ni Gaofei looked at the people kneeling in the hall, feeling tired.
I feel tired.
"Dad, I was wronged. Would you rather believe that it was me who did it and that you have an unfilial daughter than give me a chance to prove my innocence?" Ni Yueshan's voice sounded a little depressed, even aggrieved.
Ever since Ni Yueshan came back from the general's mansion, there was no trace of his former cowardly character. What was left was only calmness and coldness, but at this moment, he felt aggrieved.
Ni Gaofei finally said, "Well, if we convict them directly, it will be hard to convince the public!"
Upon hearing this, Tian You began to sob, wiping her tears and saying, "Master, I'm going to go back to my parents' home for a while. I'm too nervous living in the mansion!"
This seems to be saying that all the suffering she has endured during this period was due to Ni Yueshan's frame-up?
So she didn't want to be murdered anymore and asked to go back to her parents' home.
Ni Yueshuang followed suit and said, "Dad, I want to go to the Tian family too!"
Otherwise, if I stay in the Prime Minister's residence, won't I be blamed and punished?
They can't afford to offend, but they can't afford to hide?
Seeing the aggrieved look on the mother and daughter's faces, Ni Yueshan rolled his eyes.
If this wasn't done by one of the three of them, she couldn't think of who else it could be.
"Dad, I want to investigate and restore the truth, not use this opportunity to frame someone. Please, Dad, be discerning!"
Ni Yueshan kowtowed heavily to the ground. She even disdained to kneel down and kowtow, but sometimes, she always felt that she had no choice because she was in such a family.
"Master, the fire in the ancestral hall has been put out!"
A servant came to report.
Ni Gaofei said solemnly, "Have the housekeeper build a new ancestral tablet as soon as possible, and invite the best Taoist priest to perform a ritual! Also, let's quickly build a new ancestral hall!"
What was burned inside were the spirit tablets of our ancestors. Now that the spirit tablets are gone, the ancestral hall is gone. I hope the Prime Minister’s Mansion will not suffer any misfortune!
"yes."
Servants, please leave.
Ni Gaofei sighed, stood up, and planned to go and see the scene with his own eyes.
At this time, a servant came over, supporting a figure.
