Chapter 200 Everyone Comes to Find Faults

Jin Guogong was about to explode. In the past, in this mansion, not to mention that he got angry, just coughed or slapped his face, Liang Shi was very sensible.

However, now that he was furious, Mrs. Liang hadn't shut up yet.

Ximen Erye stepped forward and grabbed Liang's arm, "Okay, look, you've already made father angry, why don't you go out?"

Liang stared at her husband, really wishing to slap him with a slap. As the person next to him, he could actually acquiesce in Ximen Xiaoyue sacrificing her, his wife who had been with him for twenty years.

However, she held back her breath. Ever since she died once, she began to think rationally. Since she wanted to explain clearly today, she had to keep talking.

Mrs. Liang broke free from his hand, and slowly knelt down in front of the Tai Bao, raised her head, tears in her eyes, "My lord, you are the elder of our Ximen clan, today I am bold enough to kneel in front of you, please Help the concubine to be the master."

The Taibao had a serious face, "Speak on!"

Mrs. Liang then told all the things that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, including the incident of planning to frame Zi'an against Longan.

Several times, Jin Guogong and Ximen Xiaoyue wanted to interrupt her, but the eunuch gave her a cold look and silenced her.

After Mrs. Liang finished speaking, the old lady's complexion was particularly ugly, "Second lady, I didn't care about the matter of hurting my servant in the Xiangfu's mansion and trying to frame my granddaughter, so you don't have to push it all to In Xiaoyue's body, even though she married into our prime minister's family, she is also a descendant of Ximen's family."

"Ma'am," Liang countered mercilessly, "This matter has been investigated by the Yamen. It is my fault and I will bear it. However, Ximen Xiaoyue can't escape. Now the Yamen is investigating the fire dragon. But you didn’t investigate the matter of someone poisoning the wine, poisoning my wine, causing me to be burned to death in the side room, do you think this matter can be concealed?”

The old lady sneered and said: "It's ridiculous, your second wife has no grievances with my Xiangfu, why did you kill you?"

"The person you want to kill is not me, but Xia Zian, but if I, the second wife of the Duke's Mansion, are buried with you, then outsiders will think it was an accident. After all, your Prime Minister's Mansion has no reason to attack me."

"What you said is nothing more than your conjecture. I can only say that Second Madam, your imagination is too rich. It's a shame that you have such a good imagination not to tell stories." The old lady said coldly.

After finishing speaking, she stood up and said to Guo Gong: "Guo Gong, it seems that today's meal is not enough, and the old man has been charged with a crime for no reason. That’s right when the Lord comes to the house.”

Seeing that the Taibao hadn't spoken, the Duke of Jin slapped the table and said angrily, "Are you satisfied? This is how you treat guests? It's really embarrassing the government of our country. See you in the past." You are virtuous and prudent, let you take charge of the family affairs, I never thought that you are such a barbaric and vile person, this old man really misunderstood you."

Ximen Xiaoyue's mother, Mrs. Li, seemed to be unable to bear the accusation: "Yes, his second aunt, how did my Xiaoyue offend you? You want to frame her like this? I know you hate her for marrying the Prime Minister. , but your daughter can only marry a small military general, but we are still a family after all, how can you be so indiscriminate and let outsiders take advantage of you?"

Hearing this, Zian smiled faintly. This outsider must be her, right?

Hearing this, the elders in the clan all looked at each other. Liang's character in the past was indeed not very good, and it is normal to have a heart of jealousy. In addition, this time he was burned by a fire, and he was frightened to death, so it became a conspiracy theory stand up.

Or, it was really being used by someone, after all outsiders said that Xia Zi'an was extremely scheming.

Ximen Xiaoyue looked at Liang smugly, thinking that she had some evidence, but it turned out that it was just a bluff, who would believe it just by her mouth?

However, she didn't show her pride. She stood up, walked to the Taibao and knelt down, "Wugong, I don't blame the second aunt for this matter. It was because of my mishandling. The daughter-in-law Xia Zian didn't want to respect me as a mother, so she didn't kowtow to me and offer tea. I felt a little uncomfortable, so I told my second aunt, and my second aunt thought that I had dishonored the Duke's mansion, so why should I do something for me? Tone, I have already persuaded, but the second aunt was very excited at the time, and I couldn't persuade him no matter what, I told the matter to Xiangye in private, because Xiangye didn't understand the second aunt's personality, he thought she was just talking, So let me ignore it, who knows, the second aunt actually colluded with her younger brother to deal with Zi'an, and by the time we knew it, it was too late. It's all my fault, if I could persuade or send the second aunt back then government, there won’t be so many incidents.”

The Taibao hummed, and asked, "Then, what about the next thing, the fire?"

Ximen Xiaoyue sighed softly, "Wu Gong, the yamen is still investigating this matter, but we all hope it was an accident, because, in addition to the fire in the side room that day, the new house also caught fire. The maid Honghua and I The pomegranates were all trapped in the fire, look at the burns all over my body, it was from that sunset."

"You say hope is an accident, that is to say, you don't rule out someone setting the fire?" Tai Bao asked pinching his beard.

Ximen Xiaoyue said: "I can't say anything about this, because the yamen is still investigating. As for the matter of prescribing medicine, it is simply nonsense. Everyone at the table is drinking a pot of wine. The old lady and Concubine Cui are also there , you can’t put poison in wine pots, if you say poison in cups, but the bowls, chopsticks and cups are all set up in advance, and there is no definite seat for whoever sits, and everyone can sit wherever they want. Auntie sat in the upper left corner and no one knew about it beforehand, May I ask Wu Gong, how can this be poisoned?"

"Well, she said she was feeling weak and dizzy, did other guests have such symptoms?" the Taibao asked again.

Ximen Xiaoyue looked at the old lady, "Mother-in-law, did any of the guests report symptoms of dizziness and weakness afterwards?"

Seeing Ximen Xiaoyue's efforts to turn the tide, the old lady reduced her dislike for her before, and said, "No, none of the guests felt any discomfort when they left."

The Taibao nodded, and then asked Mrs. Liang, "Second Madam, according to what she said, it is true that poison cannot be used. Think about it, is there anything missing?"

When Ximen Xiaoyue was talking, Liang did not intervene to defend herself, making everyone think that she was irrefutable, but only Zi'an knew that she had come prepared today, she threw out the sharp question first but did not Talking about the evidence means that Ximen Xiaoyue and the people in Xiangfu should say more, and only if they say more, there will be flaws.

And the one who believed in finding the loophole was this Lord Taibao.

Zian felt that apart from his sharp eyes, the Taibao lord was also very thoughtful, because she noticed that he was very careful while listening, and when he had questions, he didn't ask, but his eyes would A freeze action.
