These words were so unpleasant that even Uncle Zhao couldn't help but cough.
"Ahem, Rongrong, you can't say that."
Jun Rongrong, on the other hand, was very obedient to Fourth Uncle Zhao's words. She unhappily glared at Fang Rao before finally closing her mouth.
Uncle Zhao looked at Lin Mengya again. His eyes were shining. It was obvious that he was not a person who could be easily fooled.
"Miss Su, right?"
Lin Mengya stood up and bowed according to the etiquette of the younger generation.
It had to be said that with Jun Rongrong as a foil, Uncle Zhao felt that this little girl looked more polite and generous.
His attitude could be considered amiable, but his words were full of threats.
"The one who was poisoned is your personal maid. I want to know how you are going to explain this to the Zhao family."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and sneered in her heart.
She had not found out the truth, but he wanted her to explain?
He even used the whole Zhao family to pressure her. It was nothing more than to cut off the possibility of Aunt Fang helping her.
But Lin Mengya was not a person who would bow down to power.
"What explanation do you want?" She took out a notebook and wrote.
Although the bold handwriting was not excellent, it could be seen from it that the character of the person who wrote it was.
Uncle Zhao glanced at it. He did not ask why she did not speak, but the corners of his mouth slightly drooped, showing some dissatisfaction in his heart.
"The evidence is conclusive. Apart from your personal maid, no one else got close to Old Grandma's medicine. Why? Do you think that we, the Zhao family, will accuse you? "
Fang Rao also felt that something was wrong. She was about to step forward and speak up for her, but Lin Mengya stopped her with a look.
She continued to write in the notebook, "Of course, the Zhao family will not accuse us. But I want to know, since you said that the person was caught red-handed, did anyone see with their own eyes that it was my maid who poisoned it?"
Elder Zhao frowned and was about to speak, but Jun Rongrong interrupted, "She was alone in the main kitchen. Everyone saw it. Apart from her, who else would have the chance to poison it?"
Lin Mengya just glanced at her and continued to write.
"Since my maid was alone in the main kitchen, that means that no one saw her poison, and no one saw her not poison it. In that case, why do you insist that she was the one who drugged him? "
Jun Rongrong stared blankly and said with dissatisfaction, "You're twisting words and forcing logic! No one in the main kitchen would do it except for her. "
Lin Mengya lightly wrote, "How can you be so sure?"
Jun Rongrong wanted to say that other than them, no one else had a grudge against her, so it must be her.
Unfortunately, Uncle Zhao did not want her to continue embarrassing herself.
"Miss Su is very eloquent."
His tone was neither salty nor light. Even Fang Rao couldn't tell if Uncle Zhao was angry or not.
Lin Mengya turned the page and started writing again.
"What I've written is the truth. If it's determined that my maid was the one who poisoned me just because she was alone, I won't accept it."
Uncle Zhao glanced at her little notebook and pondered for a moment.
"Looks like I was really careless. However, your maidservant is definitely under suspicion of poisoning. Do you admit to this? "
Lin Mengya nodded and wrote, "Not only her, but everyone who went in and out of the main kitchen at that time is a suspect. So, if you want to investigate in detail, it's only fair to investigate all of them. "
The people next to her didn't see what she wrote, but Uncle Zhao nodded.
"Alright, then we'll do as you wrote."
He pondered for a moment.
He looked at Fang Rao.
"Fang Rao, this is your family's business. I think I'll leave it to you. "
Fang Rao was a little hesitant, but this was a good opportunity to prove Cai Ru's innocence. Without thinking too much, she agreed.
Although Jun Rongrong was dissatisfied with the way things were handled, she didn't have the guts to question Mister Zhao's decision.
Uncle Zhao Si had actually left the matter of the old madam's poisoning to Fang Rao.
Although Cai Ru was still a suspect, she was no longer the only suspect.
Fang Rao sent her to Lin Mengya's side.
The master and servant entered the courtyard and immediately shut the door.
Lin Mengya inquired about the cause and effect.
This was a crude framing. As long as Auntie Fang put her mind to it, she would be able to find out the truth in a few days.
But what was the other party's purpose?
That night, Lin Mengya still couldn't figure it out until she went to bed.
Therefore, she didn't realize that her husband hadn't come back when it was almost time for her to go to bed.
A gust of wind blew through the window, and she couldn't help but shrink into the quilt.
When she subconsciously looked for the familiar source of heat, she was surprised to find that he was not there.
She got out of bed, only to find that the night sky was very gloomy.
"It should be raining. Master, you'd better go back and rest early." Baisu, who was in charge of the night watch, reminded her considerately.
"Where's Long Tianhao?" She knocked on the door frame and asked.
Baisu thought for a while and said, "He probably went out. I haven't seen His Highness since you and Cai Ru came back."
Went out? Why didn't he come back so late?
Could it be that he met with some problems?
But if he went out, he should at least leave a note for her.
Could it be that he was held up by something that happened outside?
But Lin Mengya didn't see Long Tianhao come back for three days.
Although she knew her husband's ability, she was still worried.
At the same time, the Zhao family's gate was closed because of Old Grandma's poisoning. In order to prevent the murderer from informing them, no one in the family was allowed to go out.
These days were cloudy and the air pressure was low, so she always felt very stuffy.
Apart from the influence of the weather, she was more afraid that it was some kind of omen.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, someone found a dead body in the backyard.
According to Cai Ru's testimony, the murderer was the one who tried to give her poison on the day of the incident.
And according to the rotten state of the body, Lin Mengya also proved that the murderer had died on the day of the incident, but had been buried in the soil in the backyard.
The neck of the dead body was broken cleanly, and there was no obvious sign of struggle on the body.
Either the murderer was a master, or an acquaintance committed the crime.
Lin Mengya and Fang Rao felt that it was tricky at the same time.
Because no matter which possibility it was, it showed that the murderer had premeditated.
And they knew nothing about the murderer.
"I'll send someone to send the news to Old Master. He should be back in a few days. As long as Old Master comes back, we don't have to worry anymore." Aunt Fang said in a low voice.
But Lin Mengya grabbed her wrist and threw out a small notebook.
"You're saying that Elder Zhao will return in a few days?"
Fang Rao nodded.
"He sent me a letter, saying that everything should wait for him to come back. I counted the days, and it should be in a few days. "
Lin Mengya suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Aunt Fang, can you send someone to pretend to send the letter and see if anyone is watching you?"
Fang Rao looked at her serious face and did not dare to be negligent.
In less than four hours, Fang Rao found her with a serious face.
"The person I sent out was indeed followed, and they even wanted to ambush me."
Lin Mengya suddenly thought of Yu's disappearance.
He had left quietly on the day Old Grandma was poisoned, and did not even alert anyone.
Looking back, ever since he came to the Zhao family, Long Tianhao had intentionally or unintentionally made his presence felt.
For example, on the day Jun Rongrong made trouble, and when Uncle Zhao came, Yu did not appear.
In other words, some people in the mansion did not even know whether he was there or not.
From the day the witness was killed, they automatically closed the mansion because of this matter. Even if there was any movement outside, they did not have time to care.
These few days were the days when Elder Zhao would be back.
There was finally an answer to everything.
"They want to harm Elder Zhao! Moreover, we're already being monitored by them! "
She wrote on the paper anxiously.
Fang Rao was also dizzy.
How could this happen?
"Yes! Xiao 'er is also missing. Damn it, how could I ignore such an obvious problem? They must be afraid that we will leak information, so they did this to divert our attention! "
But now, they had lost the initiative.
The possibility of asking for outside help had been cut off.
The only thing they could do was to stay in the mansion and save themselves.
But there was another problem.
They were not sure if there were spies in the mansion.
If they were discovered, then the person who planned all this would definitely find ways to deal with them.
Yu had left in a hurry, but he must have left enough people to protect her and the child.
But she could not just watch Aunt Fang and the others do nothing.
As she was thinking, she saw Zhao Ziyan, who was gradually becoming more lively these days.
Her eyes flashed, and she had a good idea.
On the seventh day, although the Zhao family was still the same as before, some sharp people had already noticed that whether it was water or grain delivery, they had all been absent for a few days.
Although such a situation had happened before, it was not common.
One must know that the Zhao family was also a big family, and their food and clothing expenses were consumed very quickly.
Although they still had surplus food, it would not last for a few days.
While they felt strange, they could not help but secretly guess.
But soon, something happened in the mansion.
Zhao Ziyan's old illness had relapsed.
Most of the people in the mansion knew how bad the behavior of the only young master in the mansion was in private.
Every once in a while, one or two of the servants who had served him would disappear.
It was said that he had killed them with his own hands.
Therefore, many servants secretly spread the rumor that Zhao Ziyan was crazy and would kill people when his illness acted up.
This time, the person was really dead, and did not suddenly disappear.
It was said that when Madam saw it, she was furious and had grounded Zhao Ziyan.
For a moment, everyone was in danger.
The Zhao Family had not been peaceful these past few days. They had poisoned the Zhao Family and killed someone.
