The Duke and the Old Lady were also somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, Liu Furong is the elder, and when something like this happened, the maids of Liuxiangyuan should have reported it to them or Jingxu first. Why did Su Li, a junior, arrive here first, and it was she who sent someone to report it to them?
If it wasn't the maid who reported Su Li, how could she have suddenly come here and happened to find Liu Furong having a secret meeting with someone here?
Of course, given Liu Furong's personality, the couple did not doubt Su Li's intentions, but just thought that this might be another matter caused by Liu Furong.
Especially the old lady, she had long known that Liu Furong was trying to make things difficult for Su Li, but Su Li was smart and she had resolved it. Who knows, it might be the same this time.
Su Li was not in a hurry at all. She looked at the old lady and said, "I came here because a maid who makes incense and calls herself Xiaonian went to Danhuai Courtyard and told me that there was a problem with the incense she made. Nanny Jin asked me to come to Liuxiang Courtyard to take a look. She also said that Nanny Jin was waiting for me there..."
Nanny Jin was surprised and quickly explained, "Young Madam, I was with you all night and didn't go to Liuxiangyuan. There was no problem with the incense we made, and I didn't send anyone to ask for you."
Su Li nodded. "After I arrived at Liuxiangyuan, the maids who made incense told me the same thing. Then, they happened to see my aunt having a secret meeting with someone, and they caught her there. After that, I sent someone to report it to my grandfather and uncle."
"You're clearly quibbling!" Liu Furong immediately retorted, "I didn't have a secret meeting with anyone. You're the one who caused me to suffer. It was you! You were the one who tricked me into coming here!"
"Shut up!"
The old lady scolded: "The matter has not been clarified yet, how can you be allowed to accuse others here?"
“I, I didn’t…”
The old lady didn't like her in the first place, and she really had no evidence, so she didn't dare say more.
But I was filled with hatred in my heart. This damn old woman was so biased. It was really hateful!
Su Li asked, "Aunt keeps saying that I tricked you into coming here. Could you please tell me how I tricked you into coming here? And why didn't you bring your maid with you? It was clearly you who was having a secret meeting with someone, hiding it from those around you. Now that you've been caught, you're trying to frame me?"
"I, I..." Liu Furong was flustered and couldn't think of any words to refute.
The incident happened too suddenly and she didn't have much time to react. Biting Su Li was just a temporary solution she came up with.
No, this is not a fight. It was Su Li who harmed her.
Although she didn't know how things turned out like this, she couldn't think of anyone else in this mansion who would harm her like this except that bitch Su Li!
It's her! It has to be her!
"It's you who harmed me! Otherwise, how can you explain your presence at Liuxiang Courtyard? The story about Xiaonian and Xiaoyue asking you to come is clearly a fabrication by you! If you have the guts, call them out to confront you!"
The old lady frowned and asked, "Ali, you said the maid you were asked to come to Liuxiangyuan is called Xiaonian, right?"
"Yes, Grandma."
"Madame Jin, go call all the maids who make incense."
In order to prevent the maids from using false names, the old lady simply called all the maids who made incense to come and identify them with Su Li.
As long as we find Xiaonian and confront him face to face, the matter will probably become clear.
"Xiao Nian" is Liu Furong's person, but she is not panicked at all at this moment, because she knows that according to the plan, "Xiao Nian" has already left the Duke's Mansion, and Su Li will definitely not be able to find her.
She was determined to put the blame for her murder on that bitch.
"Grandma, wait a moment."
Su Li stopped her and said, "Grandma, the maid who calls herself Xiaonian accidentally fell and sprained her ankle on the way to Liuxiangyuan. I asked Xiaowu to take her back and help take care of her. I think Xiaowu is with her now. I'll send someone to call her over."
She knew Liu Furong's plan very well, so how could she let the maid named Xiaonian leave?
"Oh?" The old lady was surprised. "Then let someone go."
Su Li nodded: "Xiao Ye, go call them over."
"yes."
Liu Furong was shocked when she heard this.
What does this mean? What does it mean that Xiao Wu is taking care of her? "Xiao Nian" didn't leave the Duke's Mansion?
How is this possible!
She looked at the two maids beside her and asked, but the maids shook their heads in confusion.
They didn't know whether "Xiao Nian" had left the Duke's Mansion. After all, it was something they had agreed on, so who would be sure whether she had left or not?
Moreover, the lady suddenly disappeared at that time, and they were extremely anxious. They had no time or energy to pay attention to whether a third-class maid had left the Duke's Mansion as planned.
Liu Furong was so angry that she glared at the two of them. Both of them were so careless in their work. If they had paid more attention, she might not have encountered all this today!
She must make these dogs suffer!
After all, the old lady was still feeling a little unwell. After Xiao Ye left, Su Li suggested that everyone go into the incense-making room and wait so that the old lady could sit down and rest.
The old lady naturally agreed and went to the incense-making room with Yinzhu's support.
The Duke ordered the guards he had brought with him, "Go in and bring the man out."
It would be better to investigate the whole matter later.
"No need," Ji Jingxu said, "Dad, he's dead."
No matter what the cause was, he would not tolerate a man who had done that with his wife to be alive!
Moreover, in the Jin Dynasty, a man was not guilty if he killed a man who had committed adultery with his wife or concubine on the spot.
Therefore, Ji Jingxu was not afraid to admit that he had killed the man.
The Duke frowned and said nothing.
The old lady walking in front also heard it, and the couple tacitly did not say a word about it, but went straight into the incense-making room.
No matter what, he was their son who had grown up with them. They felt sorry for him when he encountered such a thing, even though he had already separated from them because of Liu Furong.
Su Li didn't react much. The old beggar that Butler Liu found was originally a madman who was not in his right mind. Whether he was dead or alive, he would not be able to identify Liu Furong.
I just didn't expect that Ji Jingxu would be so cruel and kill the person directly.
The incense-making room was much more spacious than the room where the incense was kept. Nanny Jin asked a few maids to tidy it up. The Duke and the old lady sat at the top seats, while Su Li and others stood on both sides.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Ye came carrying "Xiao Nian" who had sprained her ankle and had difficulty moving, and Xiao Wu followed behind her.
Everyone was a little surprised to see this. They didn't expect that the young maid beside Su Li had such great strength that she could easily carry a tall maid.
When Liu Furong saw the person coming, she suddenly became flustered and her face looked extremely ugly.
The "Xiao Nian" who was carried here was even more hateful and panicked.
