Everything had a motive. Old Princess Yu colluded with the servants of the Qi Family to kill Qi Juanyu, who had nothing to do with her. Even a novel wouldn't write such a ridiculous story. After hearing Old Princess Yu's explanation, the people who weren't convinced by Ning Shu's second conjecture felt that it was even more ridiculous.
Wang Han and the others looked at His Majesty's expression and immediately said, "Old Princess Yu has always been devoted to Buddhism and has no enmity with the fourth young mistress of the Qi Family. Why would she participate in this case? It must be the work of these six servants! "
"This official agrees."
"This official agrees."
Seven or eight officials stepped out to vouch for Old Princess Yu. The smile on His Majesty's face finally faded a little. Cai Yue, Xiang Jin, and the others, who were kneeling in the corner with their mouths gagged, had no color on their faces. They shook their heads with all their might and cried.
Ning Shu glanced at them lightly, a trace of pity appearing in her heart. "Was it Hui Mama and the five servant girls who conspired together, or was it Old Princess Consort Yu who was covering up for her? My daughter has been pacing back and forth between these two possibilities, unable to make a decision. Especially after hearing that the fourth young mistress had more or less scolded and punished these servants. It's hard to guarantee that these servants won't hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge. "
Following Ning Shu's words, Xiang Jin and the others trembled. Every bone in their body seemed to have been broken and they collapsed to the ground. Their teary eyes were filled with despair.
Wang Han snorted and pointed at Mother Hui. He said loudly, "Then this case is clear. Send these servants to prison and torture them. I believe that we will be able to find out the truth soon. Especially this stubborn Mother Hui. She must be the mastermind!"
Everyone's gaze followed Wang Han's finger and looked at Mother Hui, who had been kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. Unknowingly, the dark clouds above them had gathered and the sky was getting darker.
She slowly raised her head and the ravines that had been eroded by time seemed even darker under the gloomy sky. "Lady Ning, up until now, everything is just your conjecture. There isn't a single piece of evidence. Lady Ning, are you going to use your glib tongue to frame this old servant? Even if I die, I won't be convinced! "
Everyone looked at each other. That's right. If there was no conclusive evidence, no matter how wonderful the deduction was, it would still be a deduction. It wouldn't count, and it wouldn't be able to convince the people of the world. On the contrary, the commoners became suspicious and casually pulled a few scapegoats to cover up the truth of Concubine Qi's murder. This old woman looked thin and weak, but her words were unexpectedly sharp.
Tan Siwei frowned and looked at Ning Shu worriedly.
Ning Shu said, "Actually, there is evidence. It's just that Fourth Young Miss, Lord Qi, and Madam Qi all trust you too much and gave the evidence the perfect cover."
Mother Hui sneered, "I'd like to hear the details."
"For example, after Fourth Miss went missing, Madam Qi gave out porridge for several days in a row, praying that the gods in the past would be moved to appear and send Fourth Miss back. The one who first thought of that idea wasn't Madam Qi, but you, Mother Hui, right? That's why you still couldn't find her and sent someone to deliver the porridge to the bridge, only to find out that Fourth Miss had been thrown into a pile of beggars. "
Mother Hui sneered and shook her head with a firm expression. "This old servant just suddenly remembered a story that I've heard before. A rich family lost a child and washed their face with tears all day long. They kowtowed to the Bodhisattva and begged for forgiveness. The Bodhisattva pitied them and told them in their dreams that if they were truly sincere, then they should do a hundred good deeds. If they persevered and truly moved the heavens, then the heavens would fulfill their wishes. When Fourth Miss went missing, Madam almost cried herself to death. Everyone in the residence went out and couldn't find her. This old servant had no choice but to tell Madam this story. In the end, the one who made the decision was Madam, not this old servant. Lady Ning, how can you suspect this old servant just because this old servant told a story? "
