Zhao Xinlan originally sent a girl to investigate at the gate of Xie Mansion, but after a while, the girl came back to report that the atmosphere in Xie Mansion was not right, and she was thinking about whether to let people inquire about it again, but she didn't expect that at this time, a maid came to report that the guards of the five princes came to invite her to Xie Mansion.

As soon as she heard that she was going to Xie Mansion, her heart began to feel a little uneasy, but since the fifth prince invited her to go, she had no reason to refuse.

After carefully cleaning herself up, she just told her subordinates that if she didn't come back in the evening, she would let her report to her father and ask him to go to Xie Mansion to save her.

When she came to the courtyard hall of the fourth lady of the Xie Mansion, she saw that the entire Xie Mansion was gathered here, and her heart was even more sure that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, as long as the second lady, mother and daughter did not confess themselves, these people would have nothing to do with themselves.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Yiyu, and seeing that her face was full of apologies, her heart calmed down, it seemed that this woman would not confess herself.

"The little girl Zhao Xinlan has seen the fifth prince and the old lady. The five princes are auspicious, and the old lady is healthy. "Zhao Xinlan's beautiful appearance is still quite down-to-earth and generous, which makes people feel that she is a virtuous woman, only Xie Chuyao knows how vicious her true face is.

Shang Jingcheng just said "um", while the old lady smiled at her embarrassedly and said, "Miss Zhao is really a beautiful girl, she looks really good, I'm sorry, there is a little thing in the house, and it bothers Miss Zhao." ”

Zhao Xinlan hurriedly replied: "What did the old lady say, where is this annoyance, Xinlan only hopes that she can help." ”

Xie Chuyao looked at her hypocritical face, and her face sank slightly.

"Xinlan has seen the three ladies, and she came here in a hurry to bring some letters to the three ladies, and ask the ladies for their understanding." Zhao Xinlan said to the three ladies again.

The second lady only felt that this time it was her mother and daughter who had affected the Miss Zhao family, and the smile on her face stiffened a little, she waved her hand and said, "What did Miss Zhao say, we disturbed Miss Zhao." ”

The third lady also laughed embarrassedly, and the fifth lady chuckled her head casually and did not reply to her words.

"Xinlan, I'm sorry for dragging you down, it's all the same ...... It's all the eldest lady, she wants the fifth prince to send someone to invite you. Xie Yiyu glanced at her with some unease, but quickly lowered his head again.

Zhao Xinlan smiled at her, and her calm look was as if this matter had nothing to do with her, which made Shang Jingcheng and the old lady feel a little puzzled.

Xie Chuyao looked at her and asked, "Miss Zhao, have you been to Xie Mansion recently?" ”

Zhao Xinlan still smiled at her and said, "I came here this morning." ”

Hearing her confess like this, Xie Chuyao couldn't help but be a little surprised, she thought that this Zhao Xinlan would not admit that she had come to Xie Mansion, but she didn't expect her to return simply.

When Xie Yiyu heard her say this, he also looked up at her in some surprise, and saw that she still had a smile on her face, and couldn't help but be a little confused about what she was thinking.

"May I ask if the eldest lady is not welcome to come to your house? Then I will come less in the future, but after all, I am a best friend in the girlfriend, and it is inevitable that I will get closer to each other. Zhao Xinlan looked at her with a touch of apology.

Xie Chuyao just asked lightly: "Then how long did Miss Zhao leave the mansion?" ”

"It's almost noon, I'll sit in the room for a while, and then I'll go to your garden for a while and then go home, what's the matter? Could it be that something is going on in the house? Zhao Xinlan looked puzzled, which made her wonder if her judgment was wrong.

"The fourth lady in the house was poisoned, and now she is investigating this matter." The old lady spoke.

"What?! Fourth Lady, is it the Fourth Lady who speaks very softly? How did she die? Who was the one who poisoned her so badly? Zhao Xinlan looked unacceptable, with a sad look on her face.

When the second lady saw her like this, she couldn't help but curse in her heart: A stinky girl who is good at acting, she has completely wiped herself out in this way, and she can feel guilty just now, it seems that their mother and daughter are too simple, and this Miss Zhao family's mind is not simple.

Xie Yiyu also looked at her a little confused, but more because of her admiration, she knew that Xinlan would get out by herself.

Shang Jingcheng glanced at Zhao Xinlan and asked, "Could it be that Miss Zhao and the fourth lady were good friends before her death?" ”

Zhao Xinlan saw that he finally spoke to herself, and her face was happy, but she quickly put up with it and said: "It's not that happy, it's just that I usually saw it when I came to the mansion as a guest, it was really a virtuous woman, why did she die like this?" ”

Shang Jingcheng pondered for a moment and didn't say a word more, but looking at Xie Chuyao's eyes, there was some worry, he was worried that her judgment was wrong.

Seeing this, Xie Chuyao ordered someone to arrange a seat for Zhao Xinlan and let her sit next to the second lady, and then looked at Xie Yiyu and asked, "Sister Yiyu, are you familiar with this object?" ”

As she spoke, she pulled the fabric out of her arms.

Xie Yiyu didn't take a second look before he shook his head directly and said, "Not familiar, what?" Is this still some kind of evidence? ”

The second lady glanced at the piece of fabric, and the whole person was shocked, then, isn't that the material on her skirt? How could it be in her hands?

Seeing this, Xie Chuyao didn't pay any attention to her, but just glanced at the second lady and asked, "Then the second lady is familiar with this fabric?" ”

"Unfamiliar, unfamiliar!" The second lady hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head and said, she carefully collected her feet, trying to hide her skirt as much as possible.

But everyone could see that the material was very similar to the clothes she was wearing.

"Yo, isn't this the yarn skirt material on your body, second sister? Oops, there's a piece missing here! The fifth lady stepped forward and pulled the hem of the second lady's skirt without worrying about it, revealing the evidence in front of everyone.

Xie Yiyu saw that his mother was being bullied like this, so he was so angry that he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the fifth lady and scolded: "What are you fooling up here, my mother's skirt is also what you can pull?" ”

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts me to death, do you want to kill someone, you dead girl? See if I don't kill you! The fifth lady got up from the ground in pain, raised her hand and was about to throw it at Xie Yiyu, but the old lady drank it.

"Stop, what are you making noise here, it's good for you to collide with the five princes!" The old lady pointed at them and scolded.

Shang Jingcheng didn't say anything, just lightly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
