The person who came was Gu. Her voice was as low as a human. She glanced at Xia Qingchan who was standing next to Luo Xuening.

It was clearly just an indifferent glance, but it made Xia Qingchan lower her head nervously. Following Luo Xuening's line of sight, he could still see Xia Qingchan's fingers tightly pressed against her body, which clearly showed extreme fear.

Luo Xuening was puzzled. Xia Qingchan was Gu's niece and the daughter of Gu's sister. Because the Gu family was a military family, almost all the family members were men. After Xia Qingchan's parents died early, she was alone and helpless. She did not dare to go to the Gu family, but instead went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu was usually quite nice to Gu Qingchan. At least, he did a good job on the surface.

In this case, the two of them are relatives, so Xia Qingchan found it intriguing to see Gu's expression at this time.

Moreover, although Mrs. Gu kept a dignified expression, the look she gave Aunt Ye clearly hid hatred.

Luo Xuening didn't understand. It was obvious that her aunt was the most pitiful one. How could she, Gu, a powerful prime minister's wife, hate a madman? Did she think her aunt was not miserable enough?

Well, that's why I say that women in ancient times were just too idle to hate this and that. If Mrs. Gu were allowed to adapt to the fast-paced modern life, I guarantee she wouldn't be so idle as to envy a madman.

Luo Xue Ning met Gu's gaze and said, "Mother, why did you arrest my aunt?"

The tone was indifferent, just like Luo Xue Ning's usual, but it revealed a wisdom and firmness that was different from usual. Gu was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept over Luo Xue Ning's body, and a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes.

"She hurt the servants in the mansion, and everyone saw it. We in the Prime Minister's Mansion can no longer protect her."

Even if the prime minister came, he couldn't protect her.

This concubine Ye has always been well protected by Prime Minister Gu. She wanted to deal with her several times but failed. This time, she wanted to expose Concubine Ye as a madman who killed people at will in front of so many upper-class women in the capital. This time, let's see how Prime Minister Gu can still protect her.

"Daughter, mother didn't harm anyone. Mother doesn't dare to harm anyone."

Aunt Ye was already half-crouching at this time. She raised her head and looked at Luo Xuening pitifully, her eyes full of sincerity. She was very scared, but very dependent on Luo Xuening.

Luo Xuening comforted Aunt Ye and glanced at Gu's indifferent face with cold eyes: "Mother, my aunt is just teaching a lesson to the disobedient servants in the mansion. Why did you make such a fuss and damage the harmony in the mansion?"

Luo Xue Ning's casual words made Gu choke and speechless. It seemed that in Luo Xue Ning's words, it was she, the mistress of the house, who was making a big deal out of nothing.

Gu glanced at Luo Xuening and lowered his eyelids slightly. His expression was still indifferent, making her seem unattainable.

Luo Xuening's indifferent smile and Gu's micro-expression revealed her contempt for herself.

"You are right. I can't control your aunt's scolding of the servants. However, your father has always taught us to be kind and generous. I usually ask you to do the same. However, your aunt really went too far this time. You know that your aunt is not in a good mental state. This time, she only hurt the servants in the mansion. If she goes out and hurts others next time, it will become the fault of our Prime Minister's Mansion. Therefore, mother will definitely not forgive her."

Luo Xuening listened to these words with only a sneer in her heart. What does it mean to be a whore and still want to build a memorial arch for herself? This Gu is just like that. She has to deal with Aunt Ye and also praise herself for how virtuous she is.

It's really ridiculous. Her aunt has never left the house since she became insane ten years ago. How could she go there to hurt people outside?

Moreover, Luo Xuening remembered very clearly that over the past ten years, although Aunt Ye was a little mentally ill, she had always been taken care of very well and had never hurt anyone else.

Rather than saying that Aunt Ye was crazy, it would be better to say that her IQ had simply regressed to that of a child. However, that did not mean that Mrs. Gu could insult her aunt at will.

Although, in the eyes of outsiders, Aunt Ye is a lunatic, and even a crime like murder can be pinned on her.

However, in Luo Xue Ning's eyes, Aunt Ye's current behavior was clearly a case of being wronged. Luo Xue Ning observed Aunt Ye's behavior and she could almost conclude that Aunt Ye would not pretend.

"Mother, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. Why don't you take us to see the situation?"

Luo Xuening cannot confront Gu head-on, and can only clear herself of suspicion of being Aunt Ye step by step.

Gu snorted coldly, then, with the help of the servant, she took Luo Xuening and her daughter towards the place where the tragedy happened.

On the bluestone slab, a person who looked like a maid was covering her wound and sighing. The several female relatives present frowned as they listened to her.

And several female members of the family also saw Luo Xue Ning and her aunt coming over, and a sneer appeared on the corners of their mouths, and then they said in a shrill voice.

"Oh, this girl is so pitiful. She was stabbed by a madman and has been lying here wailing for a long time."

"Yes, you say, how can such a huge prime minister's residence tolerate a lunatic running wild here? In my opinion, we should quickly drive this lunatic out and don't let her ruin the reputation of the prime minister's residence."

Luo Xuening simply ignored the people dressed as noble ladies and walked straight to the injured maid, bent down and checked her wound.

"You, what are you doing?"

The maid's face turned pale. Looking at Luo Xue Ning's actions, she suddenly felt frightened. She struggled, half supporting her body with her hands, her movements were tense. Luo Xue Ning glanced at the maid indifferently. She was very nervous.

"The wound isn't deep. Tell me, how did Aunt Ye hurt you?"

Luo Xue Ning's tone was just light, but for some reason, the maid felt a sense of pressure coming towards her. This was the first time that she felt such pressure from Luo Xue Ning. Her eyes were like knives; with just a glance, she could see through a person's heart.

"Yes, Madam Ye heard that you, the Fourth Miss, pushed Miss Xia into the pond, and she was about to run to find the Fourth Miss. I was afraid that something might happen to Madam Ye, so I tried to stop her, but Madam Ye suddenly pulled out a knife and chopped me."

The maid's words sounded pitiful and her tearful eyes made people feel sympathetic. No one was thinking about whether what the maid said was true.

Luo Xue Ning sneered. It turned out that Xia Qingchan suddenly fell into the water not only to deal with herself, but also to use this incident to stimulate Madam Ye to go crazy. Their purpose was to frame Madam Ye and ruin their own reputation. What a brain-opening plan.

However, Luo Xuening's chuckle made Gu unhappy.

"Ning'er, this maid was hurt by your aunt, and not only did you not comfort her, you also laughed at her. Who did you learn these rules from? Have I taught you in vain all these years?"

The Gu family is the Gu family. Even at this time, they still want to step on Luo Xue Ning and her crazy mother. How deep is their hatred?

"Who did I learn my rules from? Doesn't my mother know best?"

Aunt Ye was ill, and Luo Xuening grew up under the personal care of Prime Minister Luo.

The more Prime Minister Luo favors Luo Xue Ning, the deeper the thorn in Gu's heart is. It is clear that Luo Xue Ning is using a needle to pierce Gu's heart.

Luo Xuening's tone remained calm, but Gu almost lost his temper.

"Luoxue Ning, I treat you well."

Luo Xue Ning smiled slyly. If she had known that mentioning Prime Minister Luo would make Gu mad, she would have been too lazy to talk to her. Turning her head to look at the injured maid, Luo Xue Ning spoke bluntly.

"You're lying."

The maid's face turned pale, and she touched her ear in an unnatural manner, looking towards Gu with evasive eyes. Such micro-expression clearly showed that she was guilty. Luo Xue Ning was basically certain that this maid was Gu's person.

"Fourth Miss, I have no such thing. I am lying."

It was obvious that the maid was feeling guilty when she spoke. Luo Xuening sneered. With this kind of mental quality, she still wanted to come out and hurt others. Should she spend a few more years learning how to control micro-expressions?

"Ning'er, I know you are worried about your aunt, but you can't confuse right and wrong. What this maid said is wrong. Explain why."

Gu's brows frowned. This word was something she had colluded with the maid to say a long time ago. No one else noticed anything wrong with it, but how come Luo Xue Ning noticed it? She was definitely trying to clear Aunt Ye's name by force. She was really overestimating herself.

Luo Xue Ning certainly couldn't tell them that the maid's words were full of loopholes. Although what she said seemed to be true, it was so true that it made her suspicious.

If this maid was really hurt by Madam Ye, her mood would definitely change when she recounted the incident, just like when someone has experienced a turmoil and is still a little panicked when it is brought up again.

This maidservant, who was injured only for a moment, how could she calmly recount such a thrilling experience as if reciting a sentence?

Of course, Luo Xuening could not tell this analysis directly to the public. Even in modern times, the study of criminal psychology can only be used as an auxiliary method of criminal investigation and cannot be considered mainstream.

Although, in recent years, the research on criminal psychology has made great progress, and many criminal cases have been solved by studying the criminals' psychology and profiling them, this still cannot change the situation that criminal psychology research has been neglected.

This is because criminal psychology focuses on research and analysis, while solving a case requires visible evidence.

This is true in modern times, not to mention in ancient times. She must find more intuitive evidence.

She glanced and her eyes fell on the maid's knife. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of how to prove Aunt Ye's innocence.
