The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Liu Xiaoniang was kicked so hard that it hurt. Seeing that Lin Shiyuan was getting impatient, she didn't dare to do it again. Now she was like a frightened bird, extremely scared. Thinking of her situation, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

She prayed desperately in her heart, hoping that nothing would be found in the steward's room.

But if you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself. Luqiao and Hongya soon appeared with the things they had searched, which were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, the best bird's nests and abalone, and a small bag of something unknown.

All the items that were searched were placed on the table, and they became strong evidence to slap the manager in the face.

Lin Ruoxuan sneered, her eyes fell on the steward's cheek, and her words were full of obvious warning: "As a kitchen steward, how can you be qualified to store these gold, silver, jewelry and fine things? Tell me, where did all these come from?"

She was pressing the issue.

The manager was extremely panicked and subconsciously looked at Liu Xiaoniang. She was also very scared at the moment and her fingers were tightly grasping the handkerchief.

Lin Ruoxuan's voice continued: "Do you want to confess yourself, or should I call the officials to interrogate you?"

The steward kowtowed in fear.

"Eighth Miss, I know I was wrong!"

Just as she was about to say it, Liu Xiaoniang spoke first: "Xuan Jie'er, don't go too far. How can you be so intimidating? The steward has been here for such a long time and has made great contributions. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. She has been trembling with fear for so many years since she entered the mansion. The steward's son and grandson have all worked hard in the mansion. If you slander her like this, it will make the servants feel disheartened."

After these words were spoken, the steward stopped talking. Apart from fear, he had no other emotions. He swallowed all the words that were stuck in his throat.

What Liu Xiaoniang said just now was obviously about manipulation, it was an obvious thing.

If she told them, she was afraid that something might happen to her child.

Seeing that the steward was silent, Lin Ruoxuan knew that the danger Liu Xiaoniang had just encountered played a key role. She met Liu Xiaoniang's eyes and said directly: "Who is going too far? How could I threaten you? How could the servants have so many gold, silver and jewelry? Could it be that there are so many gold, silver and jewelry in your yard? Is that why you don't have money to pay the monthly allowance? You are the one who disappointed the servants. Have you forgotten that they just made a scene?"

What Liu Xiaoniang said was a slap in her face. She felt like she was shooting herself in the foot. She felt very uncomfortable.

"I was deceived, too."

Lin Ruoxuan looked at her funny appearance and said in a colder voice: "You'd better be deceived."

Seeing that no one was saying anything, the steward insisted, "Eighth Miss, I will tell you everything. Please don't let the official come. I will tell you everything you want to know."

She nodded: "Okay, then tell me now who is behind you and framed my mother. As long as you are willing to tell me, it will be considered a meritorious service."

The person in charge insisted directly.

"Eighth Miss, I don't want to offend you, and I also want to casually implicate others, but my conscience won't allow me to do that. These are all done by the Madam. She was the one who poisoned me. You can't say that the poison wasn't done by the Madam just because you found these things in my room, right? If you want to give me a servant to take the blame, just do it directly. Why bother with so much trouble?"

After hearing what the manager said, Liu Xiaoniang felt relieved.

As long as the steward doesn't make random comments, there will be no problem for her. It seems that it was the right choice to send the steward's child to work in the mansion.

Lin Ruoxuan was irritated by the steward's tough look.

"It seems like you want to take responsibility for this matter?"

The manager pretended to be very aggrieved: "Eighth Miss, if you think I am guilty, then I am guilty. You can beat me or kill me as you wish. Just be happy."

She looked desperate and wanted Lin Ruoxuan to compromise.

But Lin Ruoxuan just didn't buy it. She sat back in her chair and said nonchalantly, "Since you don't want to admit it now, but these things were found in your room, and you can't explain it clearly, and you casually implicate my mother, it seems that you will only tell the truth if I report it to the police. In that case, I will oblige you."

When the manager heard that they had to report to the police, he became extremely anxious and looked to Liu Xiaoniang for help.

Liu Xiaoniang also began to panic. If Lin Ruoxuan really reported the case to the police, would she be implicated? She was very worried.

Before she could say anything, Lin Shiyuan, who sensed something was wrong, stopped her.

"Xuan Jie'er, no, family disgrace should not be made public. If people outside knew what happened in our house, who knows how they would laugh at us?"

He could tell from the flirting between Liu Xiaoniang and the manager that she was probably involved in this matter. Although he didn't know what role Liu Xiaoniang played in it, he still didn't want Lin Ruoxuan to report to the police.

Lin Ruoxuan met Lin Shiyuan's eyes and frowned, "Family disgrace? Has father already determined that my mother was the one who did this? If so, I should report it to the police."

Lin Shiyuan clenched his fists. He could tell from Lin Ruoxuan that this was definitely not done by Sun Rong. Otherwise, Lin Ruoxuan would not have been so confident in asking him to report the matter to the police.

He comforted Lin Ruoxuan: "If you say it's not true, then it's not true. If the authorities are alerted, this matter can't be left unresolved."

Lin Ruoxuan didn't listen to any advice at all.

"If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. What kind of crazy person would drug grandma? Father, are you really not worried? What if you are the one who gets drugged next time?"

Lin Shiyuan was worried, but he decided to keep the matter secret because it might be related to Liu Xiaoniang.

He took a deep breath and stood in front of Lin Ruoxuan.

"The investigation can proceed slowly. The most urgent task now is to save your grandmother, isn't it?"

Lin Ruoxuan nodded: "That's right, grandma is the most important thing, but it doesn't matter, the doctor treats grandma, report to the police and let them investigate whether this matter was done by my mother. So that my mother can be cleared of all charges. My mother has lived so hard in the mansion cautiously, but she was framed. I must give her justice."

Every word she spoke was filled with sorrow.

Seeing that she refused to listen, Lin Shiyuan got angry and said, "Don't report to the police. I am the head of the family. I don't know who dares to move."

After these words were spoken, no one dared to move.

Lin Ruoxuan looked fearless and smiled, "Father, you can't stop me. I have already had someone report it to the authorities. I'm afraid the Jingzhao Yin has already arrived at my doorstep."
