After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Zishan kowtowed slowly, and said in a sad voice: "My mother was the second sister of Housekeeper Meng. Unfortunately, she died young and passed away a few years ago. The pair of golden hairpins also passed away with her."

Hearing this, Ning'er finally felt relieved. She guessed that this thing was probably evidence related to the murder case, but Zishan didn't know.

If she answered inappropriately without knowing the situation and aroused the old lady's suspicion, she would be fine, but Zishan would probably suffer a lot.

Old Madam Zhu did not expect such a development and could not help feeling a little disappointed. Zishan's mother died early, and the clue ended here.

Shen Chongyao asked another question: "Are your mother's hairpins exactly the same as these?"

Zishan hesitated and shook her head: "Except for the different colors, they are almost the same. My mother's name contains the word "plum", so it is a pair of plum blossom hairpins."

……

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Old Madam Zhu stood up and said, "Go check for me! Is there anyone in the mansion whose name contains the character 'kui'?"

Seeing the old lady so excited, Shen Chongyao quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Mother, please sit down and be careful with your steps. I will take care of this matter."

However, there are so many servants in the Marquis's mansion that even if the list is complete, it will still take some time to find someone.

"Cough, cough, cough..." At this moment, Aunt Ye, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up. Her figure was so frail that she seemed about to fall.

She coughed and said with all her might, "Old Madam, have you forgotten? The person you are looking for is far away in the sky, but also right in front of you!"

Although her face was flushed from coughing, Ye Zhen's eyes were brighter than a candle. As she spoke, she stepped in front of the man and asked softly, "Is that right?"

"Mother Liu?"

Liu Kui, who had been hiding behind Madam Luo with his head tilted and trembling constantly since he saw the golden hairpin, finally raised his head with a pale face.

Her lips pursed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Aunt Ye took a step back weakly and asked innocently, "Could it be that I remembered it wrong? Isn't Madam Liu's maiden name the word 'Kui'?"

She turned to look at Luo Miaoyun: "Madam, she is your wet nurse, you should know more about this issue, right?"

Madam Zhu almost lost her temper. She pointed at Madam Liu and asked sternly, "Is what Aunt Ye said true?"

Luo Miaoyun was still in a daze at the moment and looked at Mother Liu subconsciously.

They saw with their own eyes the bloody appearance of the golden hairpin when it was taken out. The shock was so strong that she subconsciously avoided associating it with her kind and amiable wet nurse.

Luo Miaoyun subconsciously defended him, "This is just what Zishan's family said, it's just speculation. How can you take it seriously? Madam Liu just came to the Marquis' Mansion today, could she have committed a crime?"

Madam Ye coughed twice again. Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm: "It doesn't matter whether Zishan's words are speculation or not. Madam, just ask Madam Liu whether this hairpin belongs to her, isn't that enough?"

Madam Liu threw away her previous arrogance, knelt down and kowtowed, trying her best to defend herself: "Madam, I am innocent! I really didn't kill anyone! Please understand!"

Madam Zhu's eyes suddenly became sharp: "So, this golden hairpin is indeed yours!"

Shen Chongyao quickly gave Xiu Yu a wink, and Xiu Yu stepped forward and stood in front of the old lady to prevent Liu Kui from suddenly attacking and hurting anyone.

Madam Liu banged her head on the ground, crying bitterly: "I don't know why the hairpin ended up in Zhu Xiao's possession! I can guarantee that I didn't touch her at all!"

Madam Zhu ignored him and just shouted at Shen Chongyao, "Are you still just standing there and watching?"

Shen Chongyao waved his hand, and two strong boys came up from behind. One of them clamped one of Mother Liu's arms and easily carried her to the hall.

At this moment, Liu Kui had completely lost the calmness he had when he was giving advice to Luo Miaoyun.

She cried miserably, and kept saying, "I didn't do it, I really didn't!" She begged desperately, "Madam, Miss, please save my mother!"

Luo Miaoyun had a deep friendship with her, so she couldn't help but stand up and said, "Mother, can you please allow Mama Liu to speak a few words in defense? Even if she dies, you can't let her be a fool!"

Ning'er was standing nearby, watching the scene in amazement. This was the first time she had witnessed a dispute in such a prestigious compound, and it was so intense and so... scary.

She glanced at Zishan who was shivering beside her. Only now did the girl realize how terrible her words were.

At this moment, all he heard was "murder" or "crime". He was so scared that his face turned pale and he dared not make a sound.

Ning Er saw that Ye Zhen had stirred up people's hearts with just a few words, and it was as if she had met her for the first time. She looked at Aunt Ye's gentle and docile appearance, and couldn't help but think of what she said before, how much was true and how much was false?

If she had really met her mother and told me all this, what was her purpose?

Madam Zhu reluctantly drank a sip of tea to calm down her anger: "Okay, I'll give you a favor. Chongyao, you go ask Liu!"

Shen Chongyao nodded, and bowed to his sister-in-law, saying, "I'm sorry." He turned to Aunt Liu and said sternly, "Liu Kui, is this gold hairpin inlaid with gems yours?"

Aunt Liu said fearfully, "Yes, but I really don't know why it..."

Shen Chongyao waved his hand to stop her: "You just need to answer yes or no! When you came to the mansion today, have you seen Zhu Xiao?"

Ning'er's heart was shaken! It turned out that the girl who passed away was Zhu Xiao.

Liu Kui opened and closed his mouth twice, and finally admitted weakly: "I have seen it."

"Do you two have any old grudges?"

Before Mama Liu could speak, Luo Miaoyun couldn't help but say, "Second brother, how is your questioning different from forcing a confession?"

Shen Chongyao said sternly, "Madam Hou, if Liu was really innocent, why did she deny it when the evidence was brought?"

Luo Miaoyun sneered, "Who wouldn't be scared when seeing that bloody scene? Who wouldn't be afraid of getting into trouble and being wronged for nothing?"

Shen Chongyao said: "Madam, whether Liu was the culprit who killed Zhu Xiao or not, her personal belongings appeared in the corpse, which at least shows that the murderer is related to her anyway!"

Luo Miaoyun retorted, "Couldn't it be that someone deliberately framed me?"

Shen Chongyao shook his head: "What you said doesn't make sense, sister-in-law. According to what you said before, Madam Liu just came to the Marquis's Mansion today. Who would deliberately harm her when she is fine?"

"Moreover, when Mr. Fan examined the body, he said that there were signs that Zhu Xiao's body had been moved after her death. The person who could have dragged the dead body was either a young man or a strong woman. This is consistent with Liu's."

"In my humble opinion, we should immediately detain Liu and interrogate him!"

When Matron Liu heard this, she struggled violently, shouting, "I am being unjustly killed!" For a moment, even the two strong men could not restrain her.

She shook off the guard and reached out to grab the gold hairpin on the tray. Ning'er was standing closest and was the first to be hit, so she was pushed away.

At this moment, she suddenly had a quick wit. She grabbed the golden hairpin in her hand before Liu Kui and turned around to avoid it.

Ning Er held up the hairpin and glared, "What do you want to do?"

At this time, three or five guards rushed up from behind and threw her to the ground. Mother Liu raised her head high and could see Ning'er's face clearly.

She twitched violently, as if she had seen a ghost, her mouth opened wide, and she even forgot to struggle for a moment!
