Chapter 280
"Madam, please save me! I haven't lost the young lady!" Xiaolian was terrified.
She didn't want to die.
"I remember now. When I went to look for the child, I saw you. You were in a hurry and bumped into me, but you didn't say anything and just walked away. You seemed very nervous at the time." Yao suddenly realized that the person who bumped into her was the girl in front of her.
Upon hearing this, He Yushan knew that the person who lost the child was Xiaolian. However, she didn't understand why Xiaolian would do such a thing.
Now that Xiaolian is her person, she also bears responsibility for not keeping a close eye on her servants.
"Why are you picking on a child?" Gu Yunfan asked He Yushan in disbelief.
"I didn't, my husband, you have to believe me. I'm a mother too, how could I do such a thing?" He Yushan didn't expect that even Gu Yunfan didn't believe her.
She felt even more upset. She didn't understand why no one believed her.
“Xiao Lian is your maid. Who else but you could make her do these things?” Gu Yunfan said, frowning.
He Yushan wanted to explain, but found that she was speechless and even her husband did not believe her.
“Mother-in-law, second brother, sister-in-law, Xiaolian is my person. I am responsible for what she did, I don’t deny that. But I really didn’t ask her to do this!” He Yushan knelt sadly in front of them, not pleading, but only filled with endless sorrow.
Li Zhiwei and Yao Shi looked at each other, wondering if it was really okay for them to overhear this, since it was originally a family matter of the Grand Princess's residence.
"Guards, take this lowly slave away and interrogate her properly!" The Grand Princess closed her eyes and first ordered her men to take Xiao Lian away.
Xiaolian still wanted to struggle. She was doing all this for the good of her mistress. Why didn't her mistress save her?
The Grand Princess looked at He Yushan, her eyes filled with disappointment and confusion.
"Are you jealous of how well I treat Nuonuo?" the Grand Princess said with certainty.
"Yes!" He Yushan was taken aback, not expecting the Grand Princess to ask her that question.
However, this was just my own thought; I never expected my mother-in-law to be able to guess it.
"He Shi, I have treated you well, so why are you so short-sighted as to harm a child?" The Grand Princess's words were filled with anger and disappointment.
He Yushan didn't say anything; she didn't want to either.
However, she was indeed jealous.
“Mother, perhaps Madam He was confused for a moment. If you want to blame someone, blame your son too. It is your son who failed to teach his wife well,” Gu Yunfan said, kneeling beside Madam He.
He Yushan kept her head down, not looking at Gu Yunfan, with only one thought in her mind: he didn't believe her.
She didn't even utter a single word in rebuttal.
“Mother-in-law, do you think someone might have instigated Xiaolian to do this, hoping to frame my sister-in-law and disrupt the harmony in our household?” Ruan Jingge asked the Grand Princess cautiously.
She still couldn't quite believe that He Yushan would do such a thing to her daughter.
After all, my sister-in-law is usually dignified and elegant.
They, as sisters-in-law, never even argued.
Besides, her sister-in-law had two boys, and Nuonuo was just a little girl. She didn't think that her sister-in-law couldn't tolerate any girl like Nuonuo.
He Yushan never expected that the first person to speak up for her would be Ruan Jingge.
However, even she didn't quite believe these words.
