Facing such a gaze, Old Mistress Hui subconsciously touched something in her sleeves and said sarcastically, "At that time, Fourth Young Mistress had already lost her mind. This is something that everyone knows. She inadvertently glanced in my direction. This was just a coincidence. How can you conclude that it was me who did it with just a glance? I've seen other officials looking for conclusive evidence to solve a case. Do you only rely on a few words from me or a random glance from Fourth Young Mistress? That Lady Ning is really a strange person. "
She was still so stubborn and tried to quibble. Ning Shu gently shook her head and sighed, "Mother Hui, you keep asking me if I have conclusive evidence. I can tell you that I do. And that thing should be on you right now — that old red fortune bag. "
As if God had suddenly stopped everything, Mother Hui's face suddenly froze. The hand that was subconsciously half hidden in her sleeves instantly pressed down on something in her sleeves, as if she was pressing down on her own life.
"I have to admit that everything you did before was too flawless. You acted so vividly that I couldn't put the word 'murderer' on you. So I couldn't understand the process of the crime until I accidentally found the fortune bag you dropped. " Ning Shu looked at her deeply. "At that time, your reaction was very fast. You said that the fortune bag belonged to Fourth Young Mistress when she was young. In order to pray for her to recover her consciousness, you took it out and wore it. So I didn't think too much about it. It was only after the incident that I realized that you were lying. That wasn't Fourth Young Mistress's fortune bag at all! The Qi Family was a big family, and as the apple of the Qi Family's eye, the Fourth Young Mistress, should have received the best since she was young. Even a random orchid planted in the Fourth Young Mistress' courtyard was a very precious species, not to mention the things she used personally. And the fortune bag you dropped was made of the most common red cotton cloth. You wanted to cover up your lie in a moment of desperation, but you didn't know that it was your only flaw. It was because of this small flaw that I locked onto you as a suspect. "
Mother Hui was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but she couldn't say anything for a long time. She knew that she was at the end of her tether. The case was settled.
She loosened her sleeves, and the red cotton bag that she had been hiding in her sleeves finally slipped out and landed in front of everyone.
Great anger rushed to Lord Qi's head, making him dizzy. He rushed to Mother Hui with bloodshot eyes. If it wasn't for the imperial guards stopping him, Lord Qi would have already pulled out a sword and stabbed Mother Hui. "Why! Mother Hui, how did the Qi family treat you unfairly? You want to take revenge on us like this? Why?! "
"Ever since I invited you to the estate to teach Yu 'er eight years ago, I've always given you the best treatment, the greatest trust, and the greatest respect in the estate. Yu' er has even treated you like a wet nurse. Why … Why … Exactly why?!!!"
A father's roar, filled with heart-wrenching grief, infected everyone present. For a moment, the entire place was silent, and not a single sound could be heard.
Under the cover of the dark clouds and Lord Qi's blood-red eyes, Mother Hui lowered her head and picked up the lucky bag that had fallen to the ground. She didn't care that it was old and faded. Instead, she carefully brushed away every single speck of dust on it and put it to her chest. She said in an extremely soft voice, as if she was coaxing a baby to sleep, "Yes, why? I also want to know. "
After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and met Lord Qi's gaze with the same hatred. Every word was filled with resentment and hatred!
"I also want to know why you and your wife gave birth to such a demonic daughter who killed the most important person in my life!"
