Mrs. Xu was very frightened when she heard that she was seeking death in the ancestral hall, but both Aunt Liu and Huan Cui told her that it was a rumor and that it was not the case, and they clearly refused to let her out.
She couldn't resist, but she was extremely worried.
At this moment, she saw that her daughter was standing upright, with no abnormal expression on her face, and she felt relieved.
It's just that her daughter has been locked up for so many days without any reason. No matter how good-tempered Mrs. Xu is, she is very angry now. What's more, she is not a good-tempered person.
"Third girl, you'd better be able to tell me that you are ugly, otherwise, I will never comply." She didn't care about her heavy body at the moment, and immediately stood next to Qiao Yuyan. As she said this, she looked at her coldly.
glanced at her husband.
Apparently this resentment brought the husband along with him.
When Qiao Yuyan saw her mother like this, a warm current surged through her heart. No matter what happened in the past, she was still important to her mother.
The old lady also frowned and said, "Girl Yan, please sit down."
The meaning of maintenance is very obvious.
Qiao Yuyan was deeply moved. Even though she knew that she had nothing to do with Yao's death, the old lady and Xu didn't know.
What's more, judging from the current evidence, she is indeed the most suspicious, and their firm defense at this time is just out of trust in her.
And trust, this kind of thing, has always been very precious.
Qiao Yurong did not show any dissatisfaction with the old lady's favoritism. She was still standing with an excessively calm expression, which made people doubt that she had indeed obtained tangible evidence.
"Close the door first!" Qiao Yurong did not tell her the results of the investigation immediately. Seeing everyone's doubts, she smiled and said, "After all, it is a scandal that happened in my own family. It is not good to have a lot of maids and women outside.
It made people laugh."
Now that he had said that, everyone except the servant girl whom he particularly trusted, all retreated.
"Grandma, uncle!" Qiao Yurong saluted first, then took a packet of powder from Zhuo'er's hand next to him and wrote a letter, "This is the incense ashes taken from my mother's incense burner. Fortunately, some of it has not been burned out.
And my father has always maintained my mother’s room in good condition, so this thing has not been damaged.”
Qiao Weisheng had actually heard about it, but he had said at the time that he would not interfere with Qiao Yurong's verification, so he deliberately did not inquire.
Others only knew that she had found important evidence, so they conducted a comprehensive search. They didn't know anything about the incense ash.
Qiao Weisheng took the thing over and after seeing the handwriting, he looked to his brother for confirmation and received a positive answer.
Then there won't be any problems with this testimony.
"My brother and sister were poisoned by this substance before they passed away!" He said and passed the letter to the old lady.
After everyone had finished reading, Qiao Weisheng asked: "Since Sister Rong got the news and wanted to conduct a large-scale search, what did they find?"
Qiao Yurong nodded, "Yes, since someone took action, there must be traces. Therefore, I immediately asked to search everyone's house. To be honest, I did find something."
As she said that, she took a box of incense and walked directly in front of Qiao Yuyan, "Sister, what is this?"
Qiao Yuyan looked at the very unfamiliar box and frowned, "Where did Third Sister get this? I have never seen it before."
Qiao Yurong seemed not surprised at all by her statement. She smiled and said, "Of course my sister has never seen it before. How could such a thing appear in my sister's room?"
"Then what do you mean?!" Mrs. Xu immediately said coldly, "Do you think it's up to you to say who it is?"
"Auntie, there's no need to be so nervous," Qiao Yurong looked completely relaxed at this moment, which made people a little confused, "I will never testify like this in front of everyone, but..."
As she spoke, she suddenly turned behind Qiao Yuyan and said, "Shiye, sister doesn't know this thing, do you?"
There was no expression on Shi Ye's usual face. When his name was called, he didn't even raise his eyebrows. "I know you."
"Then you have to explain carefully what's going on here!"
Qiao Yurong placed the box on the table and opened it. There were some cake-shaped spices inside.
The old lady twisted a piece and asked, with a puzzled expression, "What kind of fragrance is this? I have never smelled it before."
Qiao Yurong smiled and nodded, "Yes, how come our family has this kind of paralyzing spice? It's just found in the room of Miss Shiye. It's hard to avoid people's doubts."
Mrs. Xu looked at Shi Ye in surprise, "What's going on?"
The expression on Qiao Yuyan's face did not change, but she looked at Shi Ye calmly, as if she had no doubts about her at all.
Picking up leaves without hesitation, he walked out directly, bowed and said calmly: "My family used to run a escort agency. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and injuries are common. This is originally used for pain relief. If you have any doubts, it is better to ask the elder
Madam, Aunt Zhao is in front of me to check the injuries on my body."
After she finished speaking, she turned to Qiao Yurong, "Since the third girl has been inspected by others, she should also be informed that many martial arts practitioners will prepare such spices!"
Qiao Yurong looked at her steadily. Aunt Zhao immediately took Shi Ye down. After a while, the two of them came back. Aunt Zhao looked a little ugly and said, "Miss Shi Ye has many scars on her body."
Faced with this answer, everyone's reaction was different. After all, it felt a little wrong for Qiao Yuyan, a young lady in a deep boudoir, to follow such a warrior-like maid.
Qiao Yuyan, on the other hand, frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Then since Miss Shiye's explanation makes sense, let's put it aside for now."
Qiao Yurong said, taking out two more things and picking up one of them, "I found this in Qixi's house. The ingredients are exactly the same as the incense in my mother's incense burner. So, can there be any explanation?"
This time, her eyes fell on Qiao Yuyan, but Qiao Yuyan still had the same expression, "I've never seen him either."
There was a look of shock on Qixi's face, and her cheeks immediately turned red with anxiety, "Girl, this... I have never seen this slave before! It's not my slave's thing."
Qiao Yuyan quickly held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, no one said it's yours."
Hearing this, Qiao Yurong narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a faint smile: "What does elder sister mean by this, is someone framed the Qixi Festival girl?"
"yes!"
Mrs. Xu immediately supported her and said, "During this period, these two maids have been living with Yan'er next to the ancestral hall. It's hard to say whether anyone has touched anything in the house."
Aunt Pei suddenly chuckled, and when she saw others looking over her, she quickly restrained herself, and looked at her nails leisurely, "I just think that the three girls' tests are in vain, and they are not all the same."
What?"
Qiao Yurong shook her head, "That's not the case. I'll ask my aunt to explain the other one."
