Qingxuan presented a food box, opened it, and saw that it contained a plate of osmanthus cake.

Yan Ran took out the pastry and pushed it in front of Mama Zhao: "Try it." ”

Mama Zhao was puzzled, thinking that the pastry was poisonous, and said with a resentful expression: "Big girl, the old slave knows that you have excellent medical skills, and this osmanthus cake is also poisoned, so as to threaten the old slave, right?" The old slave fell into the hands of the eldest girl today, so he accepted his fate, and he wanted to kill or chop, and he listened to it! But the eldest girl doesn't want to threaten the old slave in this way, and put the trumped-up charge on the lady! ”

Yan Ran smiled slightly: "Mama Zhao's news is really well-informed, and her loyalty to the old master is also moving, but ......"

She changed her words and sighed softly, as if she was extremely regretful: "This was transported from Liangzhou quickly, and in order to keep it fresh, it was chilled with ice cubes all the way. Mama doesn't even want to taste a bite, what a pity! ”

Hearing the word Liangzhou, Mama Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Yan Ran in shock and disbelief.

Yan Ran was about to order someone to take the pastry away, but Mama Zhao stretched out her hand in disbelief and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake.

As soon as the pastry was in her mouth, the familiar taste made Mama Zhao's expression change greatly.

But she still held on to her luck and forced her composure: "Big girl, what does this mean?" ”

Yan Ran said unhurriedly: "This osmanthus cake was made by the lady of the next county order in Liangzhou. Madame has a pair of skillful hands, ten fingers slender, jade white slender, the favorite dyed pink Danko, the back of the little finger of the right hand has a first-class cloud-shaped birthmark, adding charm, it is really beautiful. It's better to wait a few more days, and then I will order someone to bring those hands to Mama to admire them, and then we will talk again. ”

Mama Zhao listened to Yan Ran's cruel words with a smile, and her psychological defense line finally collapsed.

She knelt in front of Yan Ran and kowtowed frantically: "Big girl, there is a debtor who is wronged!" If you have any resentment, just come to the old slave and don't hurt her! She's innocent, she doesn't know anything! ”

When Mama Zhao said in her mouth, she was naturally referring to the illegitimate daughter.

Yan Ran's eyes were calm but not angry and looked at Mama Zhao: "Now, can you understand my words?" ”

Mama Zhao nodded again and again, and immediately confessed: "Big girl, it's all the sins of the old slave, it was the old slave who poisoned the first lady, and the old slave is willing to pay for it with his life!" ”

Mama Zhao said, got up and slammed into the pillar on the side, but was stopped by Xuan Qing, who had been on guard for a long time.

Yan Ran expected early on that Mama Zhao would not be easily arrested, so she asked Xuan Qing to keep an eye on her.

Yan Ran got up and walked in front of Mama Zhao, and said coldly: "Mama Zhao, I know that you and the Wen family have been together for many years, and they are like mother and daughter. But Liangzhou is also your biological daughter, you always have to make a choice. ”

Mama Zhao looked at Yan Ran with tears in her eyes, and begged: "Big girl, the old slave is willing to pay for his life for the first lady, why are you so bothered?" ”

Mama Zhao thought that she was willing to apologize for the Wen family and pay for her life, so that she could calm Yan Ran's anger and let the Wen family go, she was really true.

Yan Ran was furious, pinched Mama Zhao's cheeks, and looked at her fiercely: "Wen is the mastermind, you are an accomplice, I want the lives of both of you!" The difference is that if you identify Wen, I will spare your daughter; If you refuse to identify me, I will let your daughter, along with you and Wen, give my mother a burial!" ”

Yan Ran said, shook off Mama Zhao vigorously, got up and took the handkerchief presented by Qingxuan, wiped her fingers, and then said lightly: "Wen killed my mother, she deserves it." But how innocent is your daughter, and how innocent is the child in her womb, to be led up by sinners like you. ”

Mama Zhao sat on the ground paralyzed, her dull eyes flashing slightly.

Since the birth of her daughter, she has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, and now she still drags her daughter down?

Besides, she also understood that no matter whether she testified against the Wen family or not, Yan Ran would not let them go.

In this case, of course, one can be saved.

Mama Zhao crawled to Yan Ran's feet and begged bitterly: "The old slave said everything, said everything, just begging the eldest girl to let go of the people over there in Liangzhou!" ”

Yan Ran looked at Mama Zhao condescendingly, and gave her the final blow: "The eldest princess's people are in Liangzhou, if you dare to play tricks, your daughter will be killed immediately!" ”

This sentence made Mama Zhao understand Yan Ran's source, and also shattered her last hope.

All the anger, unwillingness, resentment, and guilt in her heart finally turned into powerlessness, and she whimpered and cried.

When Master Yan sent someone to invite Wen, she was copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for Yan Yao and the child in her womb.

Wen came to the front yard in a good mood, but saw that Master Yan, Mrs. Yan, and Yan Ran were all present, and there was a Mama Zhao kneeling in the hall.

Wen was shocked, and stepped forward to help Mama Zhao up: "Mama, why are you here?" ”

Before Mama Zhao could answer, a tea bowl flew past her ear, causing her to fall to the ground in fright.

Seeing that the blow missed, Mrs. Yan angrily picked up everything she could touch at hand and threw it towards Wen.

She scolded while smashing: "Wen, you femme fatale-hearted poisonous woman, black-hearted embryo, you can't die well!" ”

Wen was beaten and scolded by Mrs. Yan for some reason, and looked at Mr. Yan aggrievedly: "Master, ......"

Old Man Yan's face was dark, he didn't pay attention to Wen, and instructed Grandma Sun: "Help the old lady go back to the room." ”

Old Madam Yan refused to leave, and continued to insult Wen with those unbearable sentences.

Mrs. Yan has lived with the Zhang family for many years, and she still has some feelings for her.

Besides, she didn't want to see the Wen family in the first place, but now she heard that the Zhang family was killed by the Wen family, and the new and old hatreds were sent out together.

Yan Ran looked at the confused Wen family, and said to Mama Zhao: "Mama Zhao, repeat what you just said." ”

Mama Zhao lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Wen's, and said: "Nine years ago, Mrs. Xian had an occasional cold, and Madame ordered the old slave to add Aconitum to Mrs. Xian's decoction, poisoning Mrs. Xian......"

Before Mama Zhao said this, she was interrupted by Wen's sharp voice: "Mama Zhao, what are you talking about?!" ”

Wen's eyes were full of horror and injury, and she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of her most trusted Mama Zhao.

Mama Zhao cried: "Madam, the old slave can't stand you!" ”

Wen quickly discovered the mystery from Mama Zhao's words.

It is impossible for Mama Zhao to suddenly find out with her conscience, and she must have been coerced when she came to expose and report her.

Wen Shi hugged Mama Zhao and said indignantly: "Mama Zhao, good and decent, why do you want to frame me?" But someone coerced and induced you to do this? ”

Wen said, casting a suspicious and resentful gaze at Yan Ran.

Old Madam Yan said angrily: "Wen, Mama Zhao is your nurse, and she is like a mother and daughter with you!" She said that she was instructed by you, how could it be false? ”

Mama Zhao, a witness, is indeed more credible than others in Wen's accusations.

Wen was also anxious, and said to Master Yan: "Master, the concubine doesn't know who instructed Mama Zhao to deduct such a big crime on the concubine, but the concubine has definitely not murdered anyone!" Besides, the Zhang family has already invited herself to be a concubine, why did the concubine still kill her? ”

Yan Ran's eyes were like frost, and she looked at Mama Zhao coldly: "Yes, why, Mama Zhao?" ”

Yan Ran had to force Mama Zhao to expose Wen's evil deeds in person, and asked the two people who used to be in the same boat to betray and bite each other.

She wants to kill people, and she also wants to punish her heart.

Mama Zhao understood Yan Ran's intentions, but she was powerless to resist, so she could only say truthfully: "Although Mrs. Xian invited herself to be a concubine, she is the original wife of the master after all. The lady was jealous, and she was afraid that if this matter was spread, she would become the laughing stock of others, so she killed the first lady. ”

Wen looked at Mama Zhao viciously, the original dependence and trust on her had now turned into a thick hatred.

Although Yan Ran had already known the previous situation, when she heard Mama Zhao say this reason, she still hated it, and laughed angrily: "Wen, just for your ridiculous self-esteem and ugly jealousy, you will kill my mother!" The person who cheated on the marriage was my father, not my mother, did you hate the wrong person? ”

Old Man Yan on the side was already annoyed by this sudden farce, and when he heard Yan Ran's blatant accusation, his anger rose even more.

He was about to erupt, Wen suddenly pounced in front of him, hugged his thigh, and defended himself with tears in his eyes: "Master, you have to believe me, I really didn't kill anyone!" It's Yan Ran's slut, she has always been on good terms with me, so she bought Mama Zhao to frame me! You can't just listen to their one-sided words and be suspicious of your concubine! ”

Wen said, suddenly reacted to something, and asked Yan Ran with confidence: "Yes, there is no evidence, you can't say what Mama Zhao says, do you have evidence?" ”

Yan Ran took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked as calmly as possible, "What other evidence do you want?" ”

Wen seemed to have grasped some lifeline, and became more and more proud: "As we all know, Zhang died of a sudden emergency. You have to prove that Zhang was indeed poisoned to death, right? ”

It has been almost ten years since Zhang's death, and all the human and physical evidence of that year has been destroyed by Wen.

In addition to Mama Zhao's testimony, what does Yan Ran use to prove the cause of Zhang's death?

But seeing that Wen looked at Yan Ran with ill intentions, he said provocatively: "Do you dare to open the coffin for an autopsy?" ”

Yan Ran listened to Wen's words, looked at her triumphant appearance, and almost laughed.

"You ask me if I dare? I should have asked you this! If I can prove the cause of my mother's death, do you dare to admit Mama Zhao's evidence, and dare to admit that you killed my mother! ”

Wen didn't expect Yan Ran's attitude to be so tough.

After all, after a person dies, he is buried in the ground, how dare Yan Ran dig up the grave and open the coffin?

Wen said in a panic: "You dare to open the coffin for an autopsy, you are unfilial!" ”

Yan Ran ignored Wen's threat, turned around and knelt in front of Master Yan, and said solemnly: "Dad, in order to find out the cause of my mother's death, find out the murderer, and let her be blind, my daughter implores her father's consent to open the coffin for an autopsy!" ”
