Chapter 140: Interrogation

When the Lin family walked to the Suochun Pavilion, Wei Shicheng had already stepped into the mansion gate, and the county lord of Yuanheng had just changed into his dress, and when he saw him come back, he asked, "Master, have you heard about Aunt Wen's death?"

"I heard."

Wei Shicheng's tone was light, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger.

The county lord of Yuanheng took the girl out, personally helped Wei Shicheng change his regular clothes, and said, "I heard that Aunt Song's mother Sun was arrested, but the matter has not had time to be questioned in detail, so I can't draw conclusions, can the master go with me at this time?"

Wei Shicheng said "um" and said, "Let's go together."

When the husband and wife arrived at Suochun Pavilion, except for Mrs. Wei, who did not come, the third lady and other masters in the mansion rushed over.

When Li Qingyi saw that the county lord of Yuanheng was coming, he automatically stood behind her.

The county lord of Yuanheng asked a few words of concern in a low voice, and Li Qingyi answered them one by one.

And the Lin family had already asked Mother Sun to come over, and Song Qian was also present, her face full of anger.

However, the Lin family is the main room, and the aunt in the backyard of the second room has an accident, and there is nothing wrong with her coming forward to recuperate.

Facing the people in the courtyard, Lin was not in a hurry, and said, "Aunt Song insisted that she did not instruct Mother Sun, and I believe this. But Mother Sun couldn't explain why she went to Suochun Pavilion and brought a lot of cinnabar with her."

The implication is that neither master nor servant has any evidence to prove their innocence.

Aunt Song gritted her teeth, and the other party clearly alluded to her letting Mother Sun kill people, but she also said that she believed her, she couldn't defend herself, so she could only say, "Please check the county lord and give Mother Sun justice."

Although Aunt Wen is a concubine, she made it clear that she was murdered, even if the Wen family didn't dare to do anything, she still had a son, and she had to investigate this matter against Brother Ran.

The subordinate moved a chair over, Wei Shicheng and the county lord of Yuanheng sat down, and Mother Sun was brought to the eye.

The county lord of Yuanheng is the head of the house, so he naturally has to take charge of this matter. Wei Shicheng sat beside her, did not speak, only quietly listened to everyone's speech.

The county lord of Yuanheng has been married to him for many years, so he naturally knows his position, if he doesn't want to protect Song Qian, let alone die one aunt, even if ten aunts die, he won't care about this idle matter.

He's sitting here, and if he doesn't speak, he can make everyone dare not mess around.

Lord Yuanheng looked at the people in the courtyard and asked Hui Lan first, "Did you find out what Mother Sun did in Suochun Pavilion?"

"It's a slave." Hui Lan stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to the county lord of Yuanheng: "Please find justice for our aunt!"

"You tell it from beginning to end."

Hui Lan did not hesitate, and said: "Back to the county lord, today after you and the second lady and other masters went out, the house began to distribute monthly cases, the second lady was not there today, so she handed over the distribution of monthly cases to Aunt Song, Aunt Song said that she wanted to give the old lady a blessing, and gave three months of regular silver to the people, most of the masters in the house were not there, and the girls and mothers-in-law were very happy, so they gathered in Qianyun Pavilion to speak, and delayed for a long time. The slave was afraid that there would be no one to serve her aunt, so she went back before she had time to receive the money, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mother Sun sitting at the door of the room, and the soup jar in the small kitchen had also been moved."

She said it very objectively and did not mix personal emotions, so everyone listened very clearly.

"The slave didn't know what Mother Sun was doing there, and she had a bad premonition in her heart." Hui Lan couldn't help choking up when she said this, "The slave maid rushed into the house and saw that her aunt was already ...... It's ......."

Lord Yuanheng asked in a deep voice, "Aside from the accident she was present at the time, what are the doubts?"

Hui Lan couldn't cry, "The slave was frightened by her aunt's appearance, and the screams attracted the others, and the subordinates of the Suochun Pavilion also came back, from beginning to end, Mother Sun was the only one who stayed in the aunt's yard during that time. Then, the matter was reported to the old lady, and when the old lady and the third lady came, they asked the doctor to come and check on it."

Lord Yuanheng frowned: "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that my aunt was forced to be looked at by someone, but the reason was not in the cinnabar, but because my aunt was struggling too much

It was so bad that she suffocated to death by inhaling a foreign body in her lungs, and her grandmother, who was spread on the ground in front of the door, had a lot of cinnabar scattered on the ground."

After asking Huilan, the county lord of Yuanheng asked Mother Sun again, "Mother Sun, do you have anything to argue? It is said that you have a lot of cinnabar in your hand, where did you come from, and what are you going to do with it?"

Mother Sun's forehead was full of cold sweat, she could say that cinnabar Song Qian used to paint, but she couldn't explain why she took so much cinnabar to Suochun Pavilion.

Due to delays, Wei Shiyuan, who came back one step later, entered the courtyard angrily at this time.

He had already heard the news that Wen Yuniang was gone on the way, and when he saw Mother Sun at this time, he kicked it hard!

Song Qian's face turned pale when she saw this, "Master......

Wei Shiyuan glanced at her, his eyebrows were condensed, and walked past her towards the coffin placed in the courtyard.

When he saw Aunt Wen's horrific death, he suddenly stumbled and sat on the ground.

And they hurried over to him.

Wei Shiyuan couldn't come back to his senses in a daze, "Jade Niang, she ...... How about her? Why did she die so miserably?"

Although Wen Yuniang has not been in the mansion for a long time, she has really followed Wei Shiyuan for many years.

Wen Yuniang is different from ordinary women in the house, she has followed her grandfather and father to run business outside since she was a child, and she was raised as half a son, and she acts with a heroic spirit, although she lacks some of the softness of a woman, but her actions have more things that Wei Shiyuan appreciates. What's more, Wen Yuniang also gave birth to a son for her!

"Second master, you get up first!"

The mother-in-law dragged her arm, and it took a lot of effort to drag the depressed Wei Shiyuan up.

Wei Shiyuan turned to look at Mother Sun.

Just now he was still sensible, thinking about giving Song Qian face, but seeing Wen Yuniang's miserable appearance, he inevitably couldn't control it, "You killed Yu Niang?"

Mother Sun looked at him with a trembling mouth, "Old, old slave......

Wei Shiyuan knew that she was tired when he saw his spitting appearance, and he raised a foot and kicked it in the face of Mother Sun.

Mother Sun's mother "oops, oops" rolled out of the way, her nose was kicked and bleeding, and her face was covered with confusion, so she was not embarrassed.

"Sir!"

Song Qian exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly went over to help her mother.

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, how can the master treat Mother Sun like this!"

Wei Shiyuan said angrily: "Then you should let the old thing explain clearly, why did you take the cinnabar to find the Jade Lady!"

Song Qian was annoyed, but she couldn't say anything to defend herself, so she could only look at Mother Sun.

"Mother Sun! What the hell is going on? You ......."

Huilan looked at Mother Sun hatefully, "The slave maid asked the concierge about it, and the people in Aunt Song's yard have not been out of the house in the past few days, except for a girl named Qiu Chan."

Qiu Cicada was brought up, and when he was glanced at by the cold gaze of the county lord of Yuanheng, the whole person was already soft, "Slave maid...... The slave maid has been out of the house, but she just went back to the Song family, and she will give us something for my aunt......

"What was taken, and by whose hand did it pass, that there might be witness?"

Qiu Cicada pursed her lips, her face pale.

The county lord of Yuanheng said coldly: "Let's hit ten boards first, if you don't say it, you will suffer!"

The mother-in-law carried the spring stool over neatly, and pressed the autumn cicada is crackling.

Mother Sun gritted her teeth and looked at Qiu Cicada, her hand in her sleeve tightened.

Lord Yuanheng narrowed his eyes, "Let people go to Song's house and ask, who did this girl named Qiu Chan see after she went back, what she did, what she took, if it didn't match......

"No need to ask! I said!" Mother Sun knelt up straight.

The county lord of Yuanheng's face softened, but Song Qian was stunned, "Mother Sun?"

Mother Sun said truthfully: "I tricked Qiu Cicada into going back to Song's house to get cinnabar, I said that my aunt wanted to paint, she wanted to use cinnabar, and it was not good to buy it outside, so I asked her to go back to the Song Mansion to get it, I did want to put cinnabar in Aunt Wen's soup, but I didn't want to kill her, I just wanted her to lose her mind and remove this big trouble for my aunt."

Of course

I won't say that it is to blame the Lin family, but only the matter in front of me.

Song Qian was stunned.

She was still distributing monthly examples in Qianyun Pavilion at that time, and when she heard that Mother Sun ran to Suochun Pavilion to kill Aunt Wen, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.

She did say something before, wanting to use Aunt Wen to frame the Lin family and speed up the process of the Lin family's dismissal.

But why didn't Sun's mother make her own decisions without consulting her?

Wei Shiyuan was furious, and he wanted to do it again after a few steps, but was stopped by Wei Shicheng.

He was angry and asked sharply, "Are you making your own decisions, or is someone instigating?"

Song Qian's face changed greatly: "What does the master mean by this!"

Wei Shiyuan looked up at her, and the anger in his eyes was very piercing.

Mother Sun didn't expect things to turn out like this, she continued, "But Aunt Wen is not ......."

She was only halfway through her words when Wei Shicheng spoke, "Second brother, Mother Sun has already admitted the crime, what are you going to make trouble?"

Mother Sun was startled, and choked back the second half of the sentence she was about to say.

What does this mean, Master Wei?

Don't let her speak again?

Is it for her to bear the responsibility for the fact of killing, and not to involve more people?

What if she did? Will it affect their girls?

The girl married into the Wei Mansion as a concubine, if she loses the heart of her in-laws because of this incident in the future, can she still be corrected?

Mother Sun gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Wei Shiyuan stared at Mother Sun, saw that she was silent, and said to Wei Shiyuan, "It's just a concubine, and you still want to turn the mansion upside down for him? Isn't there a shame?"

Wei Shiyuan's breath was stagnant, and his eldest brother was warning him.

Mother Sun herself can admit that it is the best, if she really gets involved with Song Qian, it will be troublesome.

His gaze crossed over to Song Qian and looked at Mother Sun, "Someone! Give me the rod to kill this old thing!"

Song Qian took a step forward and wanted to speak, but the big girl next to her grabbed her, and even Mother Sun, who was pressed on the spring bench, shook her head slightly.

Actually, it's not clear.

Mother Sun is a first-class and close person around Song Qian, she wants to harm Wen Yanniang, saying that she didn't listen to the instructions and acted on her own, who would believe it?

Even if this is true, no one will believe it!

It's no wonder that she thinks she's smart and looks at the other people in the Wei Mansion too simply!
