Just as I was thinking this, I heard another sentence.
"Aunt Chun was captured by the Fifth Young Master Jia. Mother, I'm sorry. In order to find out if they had any other schemes, we interrogated them. She didn't make it and passed away."
Cen was taken aback, then nodded. "Good riddance, good riddance. If I brought this lowly servant back, I would have beaten her to death. What would I have found out then? Why did she take you away?"
She pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Cen frowned. "What's wrong? Didn't you get any information?"
Wen Wan simply shook her head.
After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Forget it, Mother. Anyway, I'm back now, and Aunt Chun is dead. There's no way to verify anything, so let's just let it go."
Upon hearing this, Madam Cen frowned even more deeply. "How can we give up? Tell me what happened. If anyone else dares to harm you, I will risk my life to get justice for you!"
Wen Wan remained silent, continuing to kneel and sob.
This could drive Cen Shi crazy with worry.
The maid who had come with them seemed to find it unacceptable and stepped forward to bow, saying, "Madam, I also know something about this matter."
"Oh? Go ahead." Cen Shi glanced at her.
The maid pursed her lips, glanced at Wen Wan, and said indignantly, "This matter is related to the previous one in the Earl's mansion."
Cen was taken aback again.
Who was that person before?
The old woman seemed to understand and asked, "Are you talking about Miss Gentle?"
Cen paused, then looked at the maid in surprise, before looking down at her daughter, her brows furrowed in confusion.
The maid nodded and took out a confession signed by Aunt Chun from her sleeve.
"Aunt Chun said that she was instructed by Yun Zhiyi to secretly take Miss Wenwan away on the road and sell her to the countryside at will, in exchange for a thousand gold pieces. This is her confession, and you can see it for yourself, Madam."
Cen's face was extremely ugly. She immediately took the paper, unfolded it, and after reading it quickly, she crumpled it into a ball.
The confession was very simple.
Yun Zhiyi still resented that she was almost killed by Wen Wan and that she was robbed of her wealth and status, so she wanted to take revenge on her and make her lose everything before she was satisfied.
She learned that Aunt Chun had been bullied by Wen Wan in the mansion, so she secretly sent someone to persuade her, saying that as long as she was willing to do this, she would give her a thousand taels of silver so that she could go far away and live a peaceful old age without having to be subservient to anyone in the Earl's mansion.
Aunt Chun did indeed harbor resentment towards Wen Wan, and since she had such a large sum of money, she agreed.
This confession was naturally fabricated by Jia Shaoyang, a mixture of truth and falsehood, and it did not deliberately avoid mentioning that Wen Wan had harmed Yun Zhiyi.
This makes the other party appear more motivated.
Sure enough, after reading it, Cen had no doubts whatsoever, only feeling a burning pain in her chest.
"Why, why won't she let Wan'er go? She's ruined Wan'er's reputation, why won't she stop!"
