Chapter 8484 Shi Mansion
Su Yan looked at Shi Pei hurriedly comforting Ru Yunxin and said nothing.
Shi Yangui walked up to her and whispered, "Third Aunt may be hiding something."
As soon as Su Yan saw Shi Yan Gui, he thought of the jade pendant.
Seeing that he was about to curse, Su Yan simply said, "People in your Shi Mansion are not normal."
Shi Yangui: “?”
Su Yan asked: "Is the general's fourth uncle still alive?"
Shi Yangui retracted his gaze, "I don't know."
"Is it unclear or can't be said?"
Shi Yangui raised his eyes, "Sulin is out."
Two maids forcibly pulled Sulin out.
Sulin was only wearing underwear. Liang Yixian raised his eyes and said, "Why don't you put some clothes on her before you come out."
The little maid was also in a dilemma, "She is not in good condition, so..."
Su Yan walked into the maid's room and took out his coat.
Sulin huddled in her clothes and trembled.
Su Yan asked: "Has the old lady treated you badly?"
Sulin shook his head first, then fell silent.
Jiang Yun has a strong personality and is strict with his servants, but he is not a vicious person after all. If he doesn't make any mistakes, he will be able to survive in the Shi Mansion.
Su Yan asked, "You don't want to see anyone, but what did you see or hear? Are you afraid of causing disaster? Everyone is here today, so you don't have to worry. Just tell the truth."
Liang Yi also promised her, "As long as you tell the truth, I will send you away from the capital, and you don't have to worry about being retaliated against."
Sulin was obviously moved. She looked at Shi Pei timidly, but quickly lowered her head.
Su Yan looked at Shi Yangui.
Shi Yangui was stunned for a moment before saying, "Oh, your Highness is right. You don't have to worry."
Sulin whispered, "I saw it."
"What do you see?"
Su Lin suddenly crawled towards Shi Yangui, her voice tearful, "You have to make the decision for me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, I'm still young, I still..."
Shi Yangui said: "Just tell me."
The voice was as cold as usual.
Surin was still shaking.
Su Yan couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed Shi Yangui's sleeve, made him squat down, and glared at him.
Su Yan - comfort, do you know how to comfort? With this expression on your face, people think you want to eat me!
Shi Yangui: "..."
Except for Liang Yi, everyone else was silent.
Let’s not talk about how this is against etiquette, but this coroner dared to touch Shi Yangui’s sleeve…
In short, Shi Pei didn't dare.
In their eyes, Shi Yangui's personality was somewhat strange. He was taciturn and ran to the border when he was young and fought his way out.
Before this, everyone else in the palace was a civil servant.
After becoming famous, he remained silent, but no one could take advantage of him. No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do. No one could do what he didn't want others to do.
Normally, even Shi Pei tried his best not to provoke him.
The coroner girl is really... ignorant and fearless.
But in front of everyone, Shi Yangui did not resist Su Yan, but squatted down obediently.
Then, they heard Shi Yangui comforting Su Lin, "I will send people to protect you. I will keep my word. No one can get close to you."
The maids and servants looked at Su Yan with more respect.
Sulin then said, "I...saw the murderer."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's nerves became tense.
Su Yan asked seriously: "Can you see who it is?"
Sulin nodded.
"Just before Nanny Wu discovered that the old lady was not feeling well, about an incense stick of time, I saw someone hurriedly leaving the old lady's residence. She... the clothes she was wearing were quite obvious. The embroidery was done by the best embroiderer in the capital. She liked it very much. It was embroidered with... lotus flowers."
Everyone looked at Ru Yunxin.
His heart is like clouds and his face is like ashes.
She grabbed Shi Pei's hand and backed away.
Shi Pei's expression was also unnatural. "Sulin, Madam is not feeling well and has been staying in the room. Did you see clearly?"
Sulin didn't say anything, but Shi Pei heard other female voices.
——Is this a threat?
——It’s still clear.
——It’s a good thing he’s still an official.
——Bah, even if he is taken out for investigation, he may not be cleaner than Zhao Mingde.
This time it was Shi Pei's turn to look pale.
Su Yan remained calm.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't admit it, no one will know that it was her true feelings.
How can a person completely control his inner voice?
Since he couldn't beat it, Su Yan decided to accept it!
Curse as much as you can, no one else can hear you anyway!
Shi Pei's voice trembled, "You..."
He looked at the women in the yard and found that he couldn't tell whose voice it was.
Shi Pei said angrily: "If you have the guts, stand up and speak!"
Everyone looked at Shi Pei innocently, even Ru Yunxin was surprised.
Su Yan also looked at him with concern.
Shi Yangui looked at Su Yan.
She showed concern, but her mouth was secretly grinning, and she was obviously in a good mood.
Shi Yangui sighed and said to Shi Pei, "Uncle San, no one was talking just now."
Shi Pei: “?!”
"Sulin, is that Third Aunt you saw?"
Su Lin lowered her eyes and said in a very low voice, "Yes, Madam...you must help me!"
When Sulin first saw Ru Yunxin, she didn't notice anything unusual. It was normal for a lady to visit the old lady.
But Sulin soon heard the news that the old lady was seriously ill, and she passed away not long after.
The more Sulin thought about it, the more panicked she became.
If Ruyunxin knew about this, would her life still be saved?
So she dared to speak out only after Shi Yangui and Liang Yi promised to save her life.
Ruyun thought to herself, "You're talking nonsense! Today is my mother's birthday party. I'm very busy and don't have time to come!"
Su Yan asked: "What has Madam been busy with?"
"I..." Ruyun thought, "I need to receive guests."
"Did you feel sick first, or after you received the guests?"
Doubt flashed across Ruyun's eyes, and Shi Pei helped her say, "Of course, after receiving the guests."
Su Yan said: "The fashion book knows better than my wife. I thought it was you who was uncomfortable."
Shi Pei: “…”
This weird tone sounds very familiar...
But the next second, Su Yan said sincerely: "I think the lady did go to the old lady's room, but she is kind-hearted and doesn't seem like someone who would kill. She must have other reasons."
Shi Pei: “…”
Who was scolding him just now? !
Liang Yi said: "But I heard that the Madam and the Old Madam have a bad relationship in private and have quarreled several times."
He looked at the other maids and servants, "Is this true?"
Several people were trembling.
Liang Yi said: "You are only afraid of fashion books, not me?"
Several people continued to shiver and did not respond.
Liang Yi: “…”
He is such a failure as a prince!
Liang Yi asked: "Aren't you afraid of this person?"
He pulled Shi Yangui over.
"If you don't tell the truth, you will be punished."
Several people knelt down, "I, we didn't hide it on purpose!"
Liang Yi: “…”
Is his so bad?!
Shi Yangui hasn’t said anything yet!
One of them said, "There were a few times when Madam said she hoped the old lady would leave soon. We were scared and didn't dare to say anything. Madam might just be angry."
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Ruyunxin.
Shi Pei said: "Even if Yun Xin and my mother had some unpleasantness, it was just a minor friction. Yun Xin would not hope that my mother would get into trouble, and she would never do anything."
Although Shi Pei was a little narrow-minded, he always protected his wife.
Because of this, Su Yan's scolding became a little milder.
"Fashion Book, Madam needs to explain this matter clearly."
Shi Pei looked at Ru Yunxin and said, "Forget it, just tell me. After all, you didn't do anything, so what are you afraid of?"
Ruyunxin frowned and twirled a handkerchief in her hands.
"I……"
She looked at Shi Yangui, "I went there once, but I learned that my mother had dismissed a few maids. I was so angry that I wanted to argue with her, but I didn't expect to see that my mother was not in good condition as soon as I walked in. I was very scared and worried that she would be suspected, so I left quickly."
Su Yan asked: "Didn't you call a doctor?"
Ruyun thought to himself, "How could I dare to call a doctor in that situation? I was afraid that you would think it was me who did it. Isn't that the case now?"
"That's strange," Su Yan said, "Several doctors said the old lady died of illness, but you can tell at a glance that she was murdered?"
Ruyun was stunned, "I..."
Su Yan asked: "Are you really afraid of being suspected, or do you just want her to die of illness?"
Shi Pei's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The courtyard was completely silent, and everyone looked at Ru Yunxin silently.
The wind blew and Ru Yunxin's thin figure appeared. Shi Pei took two steps back and looked at her in disbelief.
Ru Yunxin shook her head desperately, "I didn't, absolutely not. How could I look at my mother... I didn't even think about it!"
Su Yan said to Su Lin, "Tell me where and when you will see Madam."
She looked at the other maids again, "If anyone else sees Madam, no matter where she is, please tell me."
Ru Yunxin walked towards Su Yan, "I really didn't stand by and watch someone die. You can't wrongly accuse me, you!"
Shi Yangui raised his hand to stop Ru Yunxin, "Third Aunt, you can go back now."
"I!"
Shi Yan Gui was as cold as ice.
In the end, Ru Yunxin didn't dare to confront Shi Yangui head-on, so she lowered her head and walked back.
She subconsciously wanted to support Shi Pei, but Shi Pei walked back with a cold face.
Liang Yi whispered to Su Yan, "Is she really just watching someone die without helping? I think she is very suspicious. She hates grandma the most."
Su Yan said: "The person who poisoned the woman needs to prepare a furnace and poison. It's not enough to just come here. We can sort out the lady's movements and we will know if it is her. However... I always feel that the old lady's death is not as simple as it seems."
Killing someone just because they didn't get along well? Su Yan couldn't imagine it.
Perhaps there are such people, but the old lady’s death does not seem to be one of them.
Su Yan was questioning several maids in order to sort out Ru Yunxin's movements. Several people who were sent out to investigate the source of the poison came back hurriedly and whispered something in Liang Yi's ear.
Liang Yi's eyes lit up and he walked towards Su Yan, "Shi Yanqing once bought arsenic!"
