The wet nurse died tragically, and the most trusted maid was accused of being the murderer. The eldest lady thought that Luo Xuening would panic, but she didn't expect that her casual words would make her lose face.
Coroner, official, these lowly positions were assigned to the eldest lady, which really destroyed her pride.
The eldest lady was different from Luo Xuening. Luo Xuening was carefree and casual, she didn't care what others thought, but the eldest lady was born in a powerful family, she had always been flattered by others, how could it be her turn to be flattered by a kid so often? She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but when she saw the miserable state of the wet nurse and the maid, she still raised her lips and slowly gave instructions to the servants.
"The dead person was the fourth young lady's wet nurse, and the personal maid of Madam Ye. Although she was of low status, our Prime Minister's Mansion is not such an unkind place. Someone, please find a coffin for this lowly wet nurse and bury her. This will also show the kindness of our Luo family."
The eldest lady kept saying something vulgar left and right, successfully arousing Luo Xuening's hatred.
What kindness? What morality? Such noble things, does the Madam have them? Luo Xue glared at the Madam, resisting the urge to tear her apart, and said in a cold voice.
“All men are created equal. Only those who are mean at heart think that others are mean.”
After Luo Xuening yelled this, she felt that the air in the Luo Mansion suddenly froze.
In an era of imperial power, Luo Xue Ning actually said that all men are created equal. Then, those who are proud of their status and look down on others, would become the lowly people in Luo Xue Ning's mouth.
How courageous!
In the dark, a figure watched this scene silently. He saw Luo Xuening's anger, but those words were imprinted in his heart.
Miss Luo, a tough life needs no explanation.
"Shut up, you bastard, how dare you lecture me here!"
The eldest lady's face turned red with anger, and she no longer cared about her manners. She cursed everyone, from Luo Xue Ning's aunt to the tragic wet nurse and Luo Xue Ning.
Luo Xue Ning didn't mind being scolded, but she was afraid of being scolded by someone she cared about.
"Shut up!"
Luo Xuening was a police officer in her previous life. She had a righteous aura that made her intimidating without even getting angry. Now, although her body has traveled through time and space to become a 15-year-old girl, her aura has not diminished in the slightest.
It’s just that Luo Xue Ning doesn’t show her power easily. Once she does, it’s enough to scare the lady and the servants.
The eldest lady fell silent. When she came to her senses, she regretted it deeply. She was actually stopped by a lowly concubine's daughter. It was like a slap in the face with a shoe sole.
The eldest lady was immediately furious. This lowly woman, a loser, actually dared to yell at her.
"Beat her. Beat her. Beat her until her face is ruined."
The eldest lady's hands were shaking with anger. She ordered the old woman around, wishing she could beat Luo Xuening, the trouble, to death. She was the mistress of the Luo Mansion. What was wrong with beating a disobedient concubine?
However, the eldest lady was obviously wrong. The current Luo Xue Ning was no longer the concubine who was bullied by others. Luo Xue Ning grabbed the old woman's hand with her backhand, used the force to fight back, and slapped the old woman hard in the face.
She actually hit someone. Miss Luo is indeed strong.
"You are rebellious, you are rebellious."
"I slapped you on behalf of the deceased He Mimi. Don't think I don't know that He Mimi's death has something to do with you. God is watching what you do. Madam, I will definitely get back at you one day."
Luo Xuening lowered her voice and spoke in a tone that only the two of them could hear. The eldest lady's face suddenly turned pale.
The smug look on the eldest lady's face when she just appeared was enough for Luo Xuening to conclude that He Xixi's death was planned by the eldest lady. Even if she had not done anything, even if she could not do anything to the eldest lady now, the eldest lady would not be so smug for too long.
It took a long while for the lady to come back to her senses from her daze. The old woman who was beaten beside the lady also had a pale face and stood there awkwardly. She was scared after being beaten, so she didn't dare to go forward and hit Luo Xue Ning again. She just stared at Luo Xue Ning with a murderous look in her eyes.
"Someone, strangle that maid to death for me, Luo Xue Ning, you will regret it."
The eldest lady couldn't do anything to Luo Xue Ning, but it was not easy to deal with a maid. Luo Xue Ning, if you dare to go against her, you will have to pay the price.
Luoxia hid behind Luoxuening. Unlike Luoxuening, she was completely frightened out of her wits.
"I've said it before, I believe Luoxia would not kill He Mimi. Even if she is suspected, she should be handed over to the government, not handled by you, Madam."
"Do you want everyone in the capital to know that our servants in Luo Mansion have killed someone?"
This is the tragedy of having no human rights. Even if there is injustice, a life cannot be worth the reputation of a big family.
But, Luoxia is Luoxuening's person, and she will never allow Luoxia to be implicated innocently.
"Since mother is afraid of the family scandal being exposed, let me examine He Weiwei's body. I can find the real culprit."
"The real murderer is right here. Everyone saw it. It was your maid who killed people. So, do you still want to protect her?"
Since the eldest lady is going to take action, she must have made sufficient preparations. Luoxia has killed someone, and there are witnesses. It is not easy for Luoxuening to save her.
"Yes, Fourth Miss, we can all testify that it was your maid who pushed He Xixi into the well."
The ones who spoke were the maids in Madam Ye's courtyard. Their testimonies were consistent, but Luo Xuening didn't believe them. These people had long been bribed by the eldest lady.
"Luoxia, what's going on?"
Luoxia was in a very unstable mood at the moment, but instead of asking those people, Luo Xuening was still willing to listen to Luoxia's explanation.
"I, I saw He Mimi sitting by the well, so I slapped her and she fell into the water."
"Did you hear that? Your maid has personally admitted to the murder."
The eldest lady's tone was filled with undisguised pride. She was really looking forward to seeing how heartbroken Luo Xuening would be when she saw her wet nurse and maid die tragically one after another.
However, the eldest lady sneered and asked her to deal with two servants, which was really ridiculous. She also prepared a big gift for Luo Xuening.
"Madam, I have a few questions. If you can explain them truthfully, I will naturally hand the prisoner over to you for disposal."
"Well, ask."
The eldest lady waved her hands impatiently. Since the outcome was already decided, she let Luo Xuening say a few more words.
"First, Luoxia and He Weiwei had always been on good terms. She killed He Weiwei, so what was her motive?"
"Secondly, Luoxia was sitting by the well when she found He Weiwei. Who would sit by the well for no reason? And how could a strong person be knocked down by a simple slap? I think it is difficult to identify Luoxia as the murderer based on these points alone."
When the eldest lady heard such doubts, she just snorted coldly without changing her expression.
"The third and most important point is that He Weiwei only had one shoe left. She couldn't have sat by the well wearing only one shoe. Where was the other shoe? Something must have happened before He Weiwei sat by the well."
Only this last question made the eldest lady's face change slightly. She lowered her eyes and glanced at He Weiwei's body. There was really only one shoe. These damn servants would reveal so many flaws after killing a person.
"Luoxue, what do you want? Are you going to protect your servant, Bobby, a murderer? Are you going to make an enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
The eldest lady was obviously a little panicked. Even if she looked down on Luo Xue Ning in her heart, she could still remember how Luo Xue Ning had cleared herself of suspicion last time thanks to her calculations.
However, Luo Xue Ning didn't understand. She just wanted to find out the real murderer. Could it be that she was becoming an enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion? She was probably becoming an enemy of the First Madam.
"There is a murderer in the mansion, but Madam does not conduct a strict investigation. Instead, she arbitrarily convicts people and treats human life as worthless. If this matter were to get out, it would damage the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and make the Prime Minister's Mansion an enemy."
The eldest lady was furious. She had not expected Luo Xue Ning to be so sharp-tongued. Looking at the eldest lady's angry face, Luo Xue Ning ignored her and ordered the servants: "Since the lady is unwilling to cooperate with me in the investigation, then I will have no choice but to ask the old lady to come."
Luo Xue Ning only knew that this old lady, although not her mother and daughter, was still reasonable, and she had to find someone who could shock the eldest lady.
"You wish. The old lady went out to worship Buddha. Do you want her to come back and face such a bloody thing?"
There was a certainty in the eldest lady's tone. She had chosen today on purpose to take action. Naturally, she had calculated the time well. The old lady was not here and Prime Minister Luo could not come back in time. Luo Xue Ning, who do you think can help you?
Luo Xuening was silent, and the eldest lady continued proudly: "Do you still want to invite the old master? However, I heard that the old master is still in court, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back in time."
"Ning'er, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're already so old, why can't you be more sensible? The old master and the old lady don't have the time to care about the life and death of a servant."
The eldest lady had expected that Luo Xue Ning would not be able to find anyone to sincerely invite her, and would have to endure her own torture. So, Luo Xue Ning sneered, it was fine if they were not here, she would let the eldest lady see what it meant to kill someone to pay for his life.
"Madam, do you think that I can't do anything to you when they are not here? Today, I will find the murderer to comfort He Momo's soul in heaven."
