Looking more closely, there was someone sitting in front of him. It was Miss Xu whom he had met during the day!

Granny He almost screamed out, isn't this more thrilling than seeing a ghost?

However, her rationality after taking the drug made her shut up in time. This Second Miss Xu was able to kidnap herself from her heavily guarded home, so she must have an accomplice. Although she couldn't see him now, the danger was everywhere.

"Xu...Miss Xu. What do you mean?" She forced herself to stand up straight, but her hands and feet still felt weak.

"Granny He, we meet again. Isn't that a coincidence? This afternoon, after I went back, I told you everything in front of my ancestral hall. Who knew that everyone came to me in their dreams, saying that I was gullible. Alas! I have no choice but to invite you out again to ask you for clarification."

"You, I don't understand what you are saying. If you send me back now, I will pretend nothing happened!" Granny He was extremely nervous. Although she couldn't figure out the person in front of her, she felt disappointed when she saw that she didn't hide her identity at all.

Oh no, this is an attempt to kill and silence someone!

"Okay, but before I send you back, please bear with me and tell me about the delivery experiences of my three wives." Xu Yixing was sitting at a height that was just right for him to look at Granny He. There was no expression on his face, he just waited quietly.

"Didn't I already tell you this during the day? Why are you making things difficult for me, Miss?"

"What you told me during the day were stories, not the truth. I want to hear the truth!" Xu Yixing suddenly glared, and without waiting for Si Wen to take action, he picked up the branding iron and pressed it against Grandma He's thigh.

"what!!!!!!"

A pig-slaughtering howl sounded, but soon died down because Granny He saw that the second young lady in front of her didn't even blink.

Is this a boudoir lady? She is clearly a living devil!

"You...you, lynching is against the law!"

"Oh."

Granny He saw that Xu Yixing was indifferent and immediately softened: "What do you want to know?"

"If you make me ask you a second time I'll brand you a second time."

"No no no no no! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Xu Yixing threw the soldering iron back into the charcoal basin. She had already figured out this man's thoughts. This kind of person may seem smooth, but in fact he is very afraid of death. Even though he is already seventy years old, he still wants to live.

"You, your mother was indeed asked by Mrs. Gu to do something when she gave birth! But she only asked that Madam Liu not give birth in the future, and she didn't want to kill her. So I, I..."

Just as Xu Yixing thought, she portrayed herself in such a positive light during the day, which was simply nonsense.

"How much did she give you?"

"Three hundred taels..." Grandma He's morale dropped, but she still had hope in her heart. After all, Aunt Liu's death had nothing to do with her directly, and her crime was not serious.

"Oh. Then what did you do?" Xu Yixing was actually not too upset. After all, Mrs. Gu was already dead, and the Gu family would settle the score sooner or later. He could still bear this.

"That's right... Although the baby came out, the placenta was not expelled. I told Mrs. Liu that we had to take it out, that's how it was."

Xu Yixing closed her eyes. Although she had never given birth, just imagining someone touching her with their hands was enough to make her not want to have a baby for the rest of her life.

"So when you say she's sick, it's because of you. She didn't get sick herself."

"No, that was a trigger. It's true that her body was not clean..."

"Then you, Aunt He, also did something?" Xu Yixing interrupted her. She was still trying to excuse herself at this point. Regardless of Yi Yan's mother's previous status, it was undeniable that Aunt Gu and the Gu family were more responsible.

"Uh..." Granny He originally thought that she just wanted to know about her mother, why did she still ask. "Mrs. Gu hopes that she will die. After all, it's a boy, and the mother can't be left alone."

Granny He raised her head as she spoke, and seeing Xu Yixing's poisonous eyes, she immediately changed her words: "But I didn't agree! Really! I said I was a midwife, not a murderer! It was Granny Gu herself who insisted on telling the woman in labor that only by sacrificing the mother could the child be saved, and that provoked Concubine He to commit suicide!"

"How much is it this time?"

"Five hundred taels... It's for hush money. After all, Mrs. Gu said that Madam He was dead, and she asked us to come up with a unified story, saying that Madam He committed suicide for the sake of Xu's bloodline. Actually, this is not wrong... After all, no one really forced Madam He to die. I thought that if I took this money, it wouldn't be considered a mistake..."

Xu Yixing took a deep breath. He had let Mrs. Gu die too easily. If he had known this would happen, he should have let her experience what it felt like to be talked to death.

"The last Madam Bai, it wasn't that Mrs. Gu said she was killed, right?" Xu Yixing raised his eyebrows and continued to tease Grandma He. Unexpectedly, Grandma He refused to speak this time. She just lowered her head and looked at the ground, not caring whether Xu Yixing would brand her again.

There are ghosts!

The more this happened, the more Xu Yixing felt firmly that there was still a secret about Grandma He. The causes of death of the first two people had nothing to do with her directly, but this time she didn't say anything. There must be something wrong.

"Okay, that's it. You go down and explain to my mother yourself. Do it." Xu Yixing shouted into the air. Granny He looked up in panic and felt as if there was another person behind her.

If I don’t shout this time, I’m really going to die!

Unfortunately, she still didn't shout out, because a piece of hemp rope had already been put around her neck and was slowly tightening, and it was about to reach its limit.

Granny He waved her hands in vain, staring at Xu Yixing. Xu Yixing still didn't move. She had been strangled by Lu Anyuan before, so she could understand how Granny He felt.

A smell of urine began to spread in the air. Xu Yixing waved his hand and asked Ying Jiu to go up. Then he personally massaged Grandma He's chest and finally saved her.

“Cough cough cough cough cough! I…you…”

"Stop it, or I'll do it to you again!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Granny He really wanted to die. She had clearly walked to the Hall of Yama just now, so why was she dragged back?

“Okay... okay..." She had just been strangled, so her words sounded like a leaky window paper.

"Yes, it was General Xu... General Xu ordered..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Yixing stood up and turned around three times, angry. This old woman was talking nonsense. She said during the day that Dad was very sad, how could it become Dad's order!

Granny He was not surprised by her reaction, which was why she kept her mouth shut. She was afraid!
