Zhou felt a pang in her heart. It seemed that the old woman was not going to let things go peacefully today.

It was just a captured slave.

What can I do to her?

Zhou glared at the maid fiercely with a threatening look. The maid turned pale and her thin body trembled.

Hu Momo stepped forward and said, "Madam, this slave is called Die'er. She usually works in the kitchen. I just checked and found that Die'er has been sneaking around these days. Mu'er, who lives in the same room, also saw her showing off dozens of taels of silver. Her monthly salary is only two taels of silver. The source of this money is unknown."

As Hu Momo said this, she winked at the people below, and the old woman Qian who had brought Die'er in took out a small bag of silver: "Madam, this is the silver that this old servant found in Die'er's room, a total of forty taels."

Cuixia lowered her head and placed the silver bag presented by Mrs. Qian on the old lady's table.

Yang Susu stretched out her fair and slender jade hand, opened the purse, took out a silver ingot and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Oh, the name of our general's mansion is engraved below this silver."

The old lady also picked up a silver ingot and looked at it. There was indeed a "Yang" character on the bottom of the silver, and a special seal of the General's Mansion on the side.

The old lady looked at the silver ingot carefully and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, where did this silver come from?"

Die'er said hurriedly: "Madam, this silver, this silver is..."

Die'er couldn't find an excuse for a moment. How could she, a maid working in the kitchen, have so much silver? Moreover, the silver even had the name of the general's mansion printed on it.

Aunt Lan glanced at the trembling Die'er as if watching a play: "Could it be that you stole this?"

Yang Susu sneered: "According to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty rules, this kind of theft will result in the loss of both hands."

When Die'er heard that her hands were going to be chopped off, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, I didn't steal it. I didn't steal it."

Aunt Lan said "Oh?" and continued, "You didn't steal it? Then where did you get so much money from the general's mansion?"

Die'er's face turned pale, and she kept shaking her head: "I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it, old lady, I don't know where the silver came from, I don't know, I don't know."

Yang Susu smiled coldly: "Grandma, from what she said, the money was brought to her house by herself."

Yang Rongyan had figured out something. Her mother wanted to poison the old lady. Could it be that the plan had been exposed?

Is this Die'er the one bribed by my mother?

She looked at Die'er, who was trembling with fear on the ground, and then looked at Zhou, whose face showed no abnormality at all, and said, "Grandma, I don't think Die'er is lying. Maybe someone really stole the money and framed her for it?"

The old lady's deep and gloomy eyes fell on Yang Rongyan for a few seconds, and Yang Rongyan felt very uneasy.

What does the old lady's look mean?

Could it be that she was suspected of poisoning her in collusion with her mother?

She didn't.

The one who participated was her beloved granddaughter Yang Rongxin.

Yang Rongyan lowered her head under the old lady's inquiring gaze and said, "Grandmother has always been very clear-headed and will definitely find out. It was Yan'er who was talking too much."

The old lady's sharp gaze shifted from Yang Rongyan to Die'er who was kneeling on the ground.

Hu Momo narrowed her eyes and said, "That's nonsense. If you didn't know where the money came from, why would you show off to Mu'er, your roommate?"
