Chapter 110: The Culprit
"How could you not find it!" Su Jinyan began to become anxious, "On the contrary, you have been blocking it, if it is not for the weakness of the heart, why block!"
"I'm surprised, why are you so excited?" The leisurely county lord smiled coldly, "It stands to reason that this orange is your sister, you should try your best to maintain it, how do you feel that she is really the mastermind of this matter now, you are happy in your heart!"
"I'm here for the eldest sister!" Su Jinyan hurriedly said, "It's also for justice, so I killed my relatives in righteousness!"
Su Ju'an smiled faintly and said, "You might as well take a look at this painting again! Because Master likes Master Liu, so he told me a lot of things in this regard, Master Liu likes to use pine smoke ink the most, but if any of you like to paint and know something about pine smoke ink, you should know that Song Yan ink will emit a slight blue color under the sun after more than two days, that is, after forty-eight hours, everyone look at this painting, what is wrong?"
She smiled and said, "There's nothing out of the ordinary, right? This means that this fake was completed in two days, and I delivered the painting to my eldest sister three days ago!"
"That's right!" "The leisurely county lord stroked his palm and smiled, "Let's not talk about how the "Mountains and Rivers Map" became a fake for the time being, my master must have nothing to do with this matter!"
"Since this painting was completed within two days, if I guessed correctly, it must be because after I sent the painting to Qiyue Pavilion, someone stole it and took it for people to copy!" Su Ju'an said, "If you send it back quietly, then this person must be someone that the eldest sister trusts!"
"But now there is a question. Su Juan's eyes looked at Su Jinyan coldly, "Where is the real "Mountains and Rivers"?"
"Actually, when it comes to this, the cause and effect should have been connected. The leisurely county lord smiled, "Su Jinyan, haven't you recruited you from the truth?"
Su Jinyan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know what the county lord means!"
"Really, then I'll tell you about it!" "You follow Changle every day, and you are her right-hand man, she naturally trusts you very much, so it is easy for you to steal the "Mountains and Rivers", including quietly getting the fake back later." And ordinary people, after knowing that the painting is a fake, will first think of whether someone stole the real thing, but you, the first thing you think of is that Tachibana is framing, and without any evidence, you swear that the real thing is in Tachibana's room, why are you so sure?
"You are talking nonsense!" Su Jin's face turned pale, and her lips began to tremble, "You have no evidence!"
Su Cheng'an tried a look with Qing'er, Qing'er nodded, and then ordered the two mothers-in-law to press a maid over, and then handed a scrolled painting to Su Cheng'an's hand.
"What's the matter?" asked Old Princess Chu.
Su Tang'an didn't answer, but asked Qing'er to unfold the painting in his hand, and everyone exclaimed.
"What is this?"
"Eldest sister, take a look, is this dress genuine or a fake?" asked Su Tang'an.
Su Changle took a closer look and said, "This one should be the real thing, Tang An, what's going on?"
"Not long ago, someone sneakily was caught by us, only to find out that she actually had this "Mountains and Rivers" on her, but my "Mountains and Rivers" had already been given to my sister, how could she secretly send it back!
"It was the fourth miss who asked the slave to do this, the slave didn't know that this picture was very important, and thought that it was just that the fourth miss wanted to be good to the fifth miss and send the fifth miss something, but she was embarrassed, so the slave and the maid were quietly sent in in the name of cleaning!" The maid kowtowed, "The slave really didn't betray the fifth miss, the slave really doesn't know anything, please Miss Fifth must believe in the slave!"
"This is your Lingyue Pavilion person, do you want her to frame me!" Su Jinyan's eyes were red and she was short of breath, "Eldest sister, Old Princess Chu, I said that this true work must be here with her, she has no way to hide it, so she wants to blame everything on me! If you already knew about this matter, why didn't you say it early in the morning!"
"If I hadn't waited for someone to show my feet and took out this authentic work from the beginning, wouldn't it confirm your conjecture?" Su Juan said lightly, "You are killing two birds with one stone, one can not only frame me, but also damage the reputation of the eldest sister, they are all your own sisters, what good is it for you to do this?"
"You are talking nonsense, I didn't!" Su Jinyan's face dripped beads of sweat and grabbed Su Changle's arm, "Eldest sister, I didn't, I haven't done it, you have to believe me! I don't know this girl at all, everything is Su Cheng'an framed me!"
"Fourth Miss!" the maid took out a piece of silver from her bosom, "This is what you gave to the slave maid, just this morning, don't you admit it? If the slave knows that you want to frame the fifth miss, the slave and maid will not do it even if they die!"
"What does this ingot mean?"
"What about this?" the maidservant took out another brocade handkerchief, "This is what you left when we met this morning, the fourth lady was in a hurry, and the slave didn't have time to stop you, and I was going to return it to you when we met next time!"
"This Jinpa, but Jinyan's name is embroidered on it!" said the leisurely county lord, "When a few of us discussed today's charity sale last night, I remember that your handkerchief is still there, right?" Su Jinyan, the facts are all in front of you, how long do you have to quibble!"
"I ...... I ......"
"Miss!" Jinxiu suddenly stood up and said, "Speaking of which, the slave maid has also seen the fourth lady in and out of the warehouse a few times, and she looked flustered, just thinking that she might be checking the spot, so she didn't think much about it, thinking about it, it was really suspicious." ”
Su Jinyan seemed to have suddenly lost her strength, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Jinyan, is it really you?" Su Changle looked very hurt, "Why? Why did you do this?"
"Su Tang'an is the culprit who caused my mother to be driven out of the Hou Mansion, I want to avenge my mother!" Su Jin's face was dejected, and he said in a low voice.
"Confused!" Su Yulian suddenly stepped forward and slapped Su Jinyan, "If it weren't for the fifth sister's intercession, my mother might not be alive now! Su Jinyan, are you crazy? Have you really forgotten anything?"
"Big sister!" Su Tang'an closed the painting, "The reputation of this charity sale is unbreakable, you can take this painting!"
"Thank you, Fifth Sister, when something like this happened, I was negligent, and I am really to blame!" Su Changle said guiltily.
"Day and night, it's hard to guard against thieves!" said one person, "You don't have to blame yourself too much for this!"
"Now that this painting has been found and the culprit has been found, then we don't have to bother anymore!" Old Princess Chu got up and said goodbye to the old lady, "Say goodbye first!"
The old lady couldn't wait to find a hole to get into at this moment, and said with a face full of shame: "This kind of thing happened in our Hou Mansion, it was my dereliction of discipline, and I really have no shame to face you!"
The old princess of Chu patted her hand, comforted her, and then left with someone.
All the outsiders left, leaving only the leisurely county lord alone, the old lady was so angry that she almost fainted, and she couldn't care about it, glaring at Su Jinyan on the ground and scolding: "This brute!
Saying that, he couldn't get up in one breath, fainted, and everyone was busy pinching people for treatment, and then carried the old lady back.
"Tang An, you have been wronged today, but it's a pity that there are still a bunch of messes to deal with over there, so I have to wait until I finish dealing with the things over there, and then I will come to make amends to you!" Su Changle said.
"This matter has nothing to do with the eldest sister, the eldest sister doesn't have to mind too much, it's important to deal with the business first!" Su Juan smiled lightly.
Su Tang'an pulled the leisurely county lord into the house, and said with a smile as he walked: "My good apprentice, you have done a good job, it is rare that you have defended me so much!"
"It turns out that you have already had a countermeasure!" the leisurely county lord breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been nervous for you for a while!, your fourth sister, what are you going to do?"
"This whole thing seems simple, but if everything is prepared within two days, can one Su Jinyan do it?" Su Tang'an said lightly.
"You mean there's someone behind her?
"I asked her, I may not be willing to say that the matter has been very unpleasant, and it should be stopped. Su Tang'an said, "If you continue to pursue it, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to end!"
At this time, the person who went to ask the ancient painter to come back and report that the ancient painter was no longer in the capital.
The county lord waved his hand to let him stand back, and said, "Fortunately, there is no need for him to come forward now." ”
"Then who took the ancient painter away?" Su Tang'an smiled coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, even the eldest sister is counted this time!"
"It was originally a good thing, but it was really hateful that so many scandals were born!" "The county lord sighed, "You really don't want to continue to investigate this matter, why don't I interrogate Su Jinyan!"
"Don't bother, I probably know who it is, but even if I know that it was her now, I can't help her. Su Tang'an said lightly.
Qing'er's house reported: "Miss, the second miss is kneeling outside. ”
"She must be interceding for Su Jinyan, you go and tell her, this matter is not only to frame me, but also to lose the face of the Hou Mansion in front of everyone, can I stop, can my grandmother forgive her? It is useless for her to beg me. ”
"Yes!"
