Perhaps it was because Mrs. Zhu's attitude was too calm that Luo's mother couldn't help but turn to look at her daughter.

Luo Miaoyun was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never expected that she could speak so nonsense in front of him.

That day she heard with her own ears how the old lady sent people to lock up Mama Liu in the deserted Xixiyuan, and how she ordered maids to keep a strict watch on her and not allow anyone to see her easily.

It's only been a few days, and right after a fire broke out in the small Buddhist temple, he completely denied Mother Liu's whereabouts. He lied with his eyes open in broad daylight!

She held back her anger and said, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. Since Madam Liu entered the Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion, she has not seen anyone leave."

Madam Zhu smiled and said, "Miao Yun returned home first, and Nanny Liu left later. It is understandable that you don't know."

At this time, Old Madam Luo finally came to her senses. Comparing the two, she naturally trusted her own daughter more. In her opinion, the Shen family was determined not to hand over Liu Kui and wanted to detain him in the Marquis' Mansion.

She was more anxious than Luo Miaoyun. Judging from Old Madam Zhu's attitude, she probably hadn't received any definite news yet. But they would be worried as long as the person stayed in the Marquis' Mansion.

Who knows when Liu Kui will be unable to bear it and reveal the past incident of killing the young son of the Marquis's mansion. Even if she was the one who did it, everyone will think that Luo Miaoyun was behind it.

If that time really comes, not only will Miaoyun's reputation be ruined, but their Luo family will also be branded as a poor parent.

She still remembered clearly how Shen Chongyan was heartbroken when Ye Zhen's child died young, and how he was even willing to risk great disapproval to move his child to the ancestral cemetery.

At this juncture, she naturally had to stand on Miaoyun's side. Luo's mother calmed down and began to blame Miaoyun: "You child, how can you be so inconsiderate? You invited Madam Liu into the house, so you must send her back home in a proper manner. Do you think she is just a maid to serve you? How can you be so neglectful?"

She smiled at Old Madam Zhu with an apologetic look on her face: "Madam, you know that Madam Liu was released from prison a long time ago and is no longer a slave. It's just that we think of our old friendship and treat each other like relatives."

Madam Zhu immediately asked them to go to the Liu family to look for someone, but if they agreed to do so, the Shen family would definitely deny all responsibility for Liu Kui's disappearance.

As she pondered, she slowly said, "Since the old lady said that Madam Liu had left the mansion and went home on her own, you should ask the mansion to find a boy to go to Liu's house to check on her. Her family lives in Jinhua Lane outside Yongping Bridge, so it's a quick walk and we can go back and forth in less than half a day."

"If she is at home, there is nothing to say. Even if she is not at home, I can ask any of her children and grandchildren. This will also put a rest for a girl like me who is not very stable. How about this?"

Luo's mother's words took every aspect into consideration. She not only followed what Old Madam Zhu said, but also hinted that Liu Kui was not an ordinary servant, but a good citizen with a following.

According to the law, even if someone is guilty, he cannot be punished privately and must be handed over to the authorities for trial.

Ning'er looked at Madam Zhu's expression. Mother Luo was giving them another way out. If Liu Kui was really in the hands of the Shen family, she would probably send him back at this moment.

Unfortunately, no matter how eloquent Madam Luo was, the Marquis' Mansion had no way of handing over Liu Kui, who was not in their hands.

She was listening at the side and couldn't help but feel worried for them. Ning'er held her chin in her hand, lost in thought.

I wonder if Chu Huan has figured out whether the mysterious person who visited Liu Kui late last night was Ye Zhen? What kind of secrets did she want to find out from her? And how does all this relate to her mother?

Madam Zhu waved her hand helplessly and whispered a few words to Xiuyu. She looked up and said to Luo Miaoyun's mother, "The Shen family has been in the military for generations. Everyone is born with a straight heart and will not shirk responsibility. Mother-in-law, please don't think my words are crude."

"I'm going to say this, Yun'er's wet nurse is definitely not in our house. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to come to Xinyuan Marquis's house to search. If you can find Liu Kui, you can punish her or punish her as you wish. I won't say a word."

Madam Zhu had said so much, it was impossible for the Luo family to be so shameless as to search and confiscate the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion just for an old woman.

Ning'er had figured out something at this moment. Under the current situation, it was obvious that the mother and daughter of the Luo family knew the importance of Liu Kui. And Old Madam Zhu was not stupid. When she saw this situation, she would turn around and would definitely rush to find Liu Kui before them.

The instigator of all this, Aunt Ye, easily stirred up the trouble between the two sides, while she herself stood on the dry shore, watching coldly as the Luo and Shen families tore each other apart and suspected each other.

No wonder Chu Huan specifically told her that even if Ye Zhen didn't necessarily have bad intentions towards her, she should try to stay away from this person.

The situation became cold during the stalemate between the two sides. Fortunately, Xiang Ming came up with the Shen brothers and sisters and replied, "Madam, Master Ying and Miss Yao have already met the Marquis."

This was the first time the brother and sister saw their father since Shen Chongyan returned to Beijing after being seriously injured. Shen Chengying was able to control herself, but her eyes were red. Shen Ruyao's face was covered with visibly visible traces of tears, and her nose was red from crying.

When they were in their father's room, they were afraid of disturbing Shen Chongyan's rest, so they didn't even dare to cry. When she saw her grandmother, she couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed directly into the old lady's arms and cried loudly: "Grandma, grandma, what happened to Daddy? Is he okay?"

The bright and beautiful little girl cried so hard that she was out of breath. Even an iron man would be moved by this scene.

Old Madam Zhu loved her grandchildren to her core. Seeing them so sad for their father and thinking about her son who had escaped death, she was overwhelmed with emotion and hugged her, feeling heartbroken.

Xiu Yu was afraid that the old lady would be too sad, so she stepped forward and helped Shen Ruyao up from her arms, and then gently comforted her: "Miss Yao, don't be sad too soon. The Marquis has seen that you are getting better day by day. If you do this, won't it make the old lady worried?"

She took the handkerchief from the little girl, wiped her tears carefully, and said with a smile: "Look, if you cry again, your grandmother will laugh at you."

Shen Ruyao stopped sobbing after receiving Xiu Yu's comfort. Since she was born, her father has always been as tall and majestic as a mountain, standing tall and upright. How could she have ever seen him so pale and fragile?

A great panic and fear surged in her heart, so much so that she unconsciously resented her mother for taking them back to her grandparents' home at this time.

But fortunately, her crying eased the awkward and stagnant atmosphere in the classroom.

Ning'er felt emotional, as those present were either her mother, brothers, or her grandmother and great-grandmother, the closest blood relatives of the family, who were so closely connected that even if their bones were broken they were still connected by tendons.

She couldn't help but wonder, even if Aunt Ye could really find evidence that Madam Luo murdered An'er, would the Shen family really be willing to do anything to her for the sake of their children?
