The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 312 Interrogation
Jinglan Court.

"It's all locked up?"

Seeing his subordinates coming in, Liu Yang put down his teacup and asked.

The subordinate replied respectfully: "Yes, according to your instructions, the separate detention has been done."

Liu Yang stood up and began interrogating one by one from the next room.

Shui Fu was locked in the next room, and when she saw Liu Yang coming in, she questioned him: "Why did you lock us up? What did we do wrong?"

Liu Yang sat down on the chair in front of her, with a serious expression: "Yuan Niang sneaked out of the house this morning, did you know?"

"What?" Shui Fu was surprised: "When did Yuan Niang go out, why don't I know?"

Liu Yang looked at her quietly, and only spoke after she shut up: "You really don't know? I only give you one chance, if you lie, you won't be able to speak in the future."

What's the meaning?To cut off her tongue?
Shui Fu's expression froze, and she immediately replied: "Lady Wen was on vigil last night, but Shui Rong and I waited for Yuan Niang to go to bed before leaving, and we stayed in our room after that.

"Today, Shui Rong and I left the room and went to the main room, because at this time, Yuan Niang would usually get up to practice.

"But I forgot that Yuanniang was injured and couldn't practice, so after Mrs. Wen told us that Yuanniang hadn't woken up, we left.

"Later, Shui Rong went out to buy ingredients. I went to Fuhai Courtyard and reported to the old lady that Yuan Niang didn't go to pay her respects. When I came back, I ran into Yuan Niang."

Shui Fu suddenly stopped, Cui Hengyue was wearing clothes she had never seen before, now it seems that Cui Hengyue did not come back from a walk at all, but came back from outside the residence.

"Why didn't you say it?" Liu Yang had a panoramic view of her expression.

Shui Fu immediately stopped thinking, and said honestly: "Yuan Niang told me to get up and go for a walk, but the clothes she was wearing were not hers. I didn't care about them at the time, so I didn't ask any more questions."

Those are the clothes prepared by the Duke.

Liu Yang knew it well and didn't say it out loud, "Except for this time, did Yuan Niang sneak out of the house before?"

"No." Shui Fu replied without thinking.

Liu Yang thought for a while: "Tell me about Yuanniang."

Shui Fu weighed it in her heart, and said slowly: "Yuanniang has been living in the south hall of Yunxuan Temple before, and Shui Rong and I have been living in the north hall, and we have never met Yuanniang.

"The first time I saw Yuanniang was one month before the Dragon Boat Festival this year. At that time, Yuanniang's mother had just passed away. Yuanniang was so sad that she jumped off the cliff in the south hall."

The more Liu Yang heard it, the more surprised he became. He never expected that the Cui family would have such a miserable descendant.

After listening, Liu Yang couldn't regain his senses for a long time, and he didn't come back until he heard footsteps outside.

He got up and left the wing, looked at the subordinates guarding the door: "What happened?"

"We caught Yuan Niang's first-class maid named Shui Rong, she just came back from outside the mansion." The subordinate replied.

Liu Yang immediately ordered: "Take me to see her."

After seeing Shui Rong, Liu Yang directly asked: "What are you doing out of the house?"

Shui Rong was arrested as soon as she entered the gate of the mansion, and was escorted back to Jinglan Garden. She found that there were guards outside the gate of Jinglan Garden. After entering, all the people she saw were the guards of the mansion, and no one in Jinglan Garden was seen. .

Before she figured out what happened, she was about to face Liu Yang's interrogation. Although she was calm, she couldn't help feeling flustered.

"I, I went out to buy ingredients." After saying a word, Shui Rong's flustered heart gradually calmed down, and the following words became more and more smooth:
"With the small kitchen in Jinglan Court, Yuanniang wanted to eat something different. There wasn't enough food in the mansion, so I went out to buy it."

Liu Yang looked at her majestically: "Where did you go after you left the mansion, you should be honest and honest. If you tell half a lie, you will be punished with severe punishment."

Shui Rong's heart sank, it seems that something serious happened in Jinglan Garden.

She lowered her head and made a frightened look: "Okay, let me say."

After Liu Yang interrogated Shui Rong, he went to the place where Wen Niangzi was being held.

"Baby maid, Yuan Niang sneaked out of the house, but you didn't report it, how courageous you are." Liu Yang slapped the table and shouted.

Lady Wen's complexion changed slightly, and she soon calmed down again.

She wanted to bite her to death and refuse to admit it, but then she thought that Cui Hengyue didn't sneak back into the room through the window, but swaggered in through the courtyard door and changed into new clothes.

It can be seen that Cui Hengyue sneaked out of the house and was discovered long ago, but it seemed that nothing happened at that time, it should be that Cui Hengyue had already tried to fool him.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen immediately pleaded guilty: "I know I was wrong, I am willing to be punished."

Although disfigured, but quite interesting.

Liu Yang's expression softened slightly, and he asked, "What did Yuan Niang do when she left the mansion?"

Mrs. Wen's heart skipped a beat, bad, if what she said was inconsistent with Cui Hengyue, Cui Quan would definitely suspect them.

It's a pity that Cui Hengyue didn't have time to talk to her alone after returning, and she didn't know what Cui Hengyue said to Cui Quan.

Mrs. Wen was a little anxious, but she met Shang Liuyang's suspicious eyes and said hurriedly: "I don't know, and Yuan Niang didn't tell me, so I dare not ask."

"Snapped!"

Liu Yang slapped the table with one palm, and shouted: "What the hell did Yuan Niang do, tell me!

"If you dare to lie, you don't have to save your life."

Lady Wen's heart tightened, and she hurriedly knelt down: "I really don't know, Yuan Niang didn't say anything, I don't know anything, please forgive me..."

She spoke incoherently, and called Liu Yang the commander, looking terrified.

Liu Yang stared at her for a while, then asked: "Before this, when you were on duty at night, did Yuan Niang sneak out?"

Lady Wen pressed her forehead to the ground: "No."

"Snapped!"

Liu Yang patted the table again, and shouted: "It seems that you won't be sentenced, you won't tell the truth."

As he spoke, he drew out the saber at his waist and stabbed at him.

Mrs. Wen subconsciously wanted to hide, but suddenly she changed her mind and lay motionless on the ground.

"what--"

The sword slashed across Miss Wen's arm, leaving a bloodstain.

"I really don't know, don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Mrs. Wen was trembling all over, covering her arms and shouting "Don't kill me" all the time, as if she had fallen into madness.

"Tell me, what did Yuanniang go out to do?" Liu Yang roared.

However, Mrs. Wen didn't seem to hear, she kept repeating that sentence: "Don't kill me..."

Seeing this, Liu Yang put away his sword, turned and left.

After Liu Yang left, Lady Wen was still lying on the ground, and she didn't raise her head until the surroundings became silent.

Finally gone.

Lady Wen got up and tore a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt to bandage the wound on her arm.

After dressing up, she sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.

The people in Jinglanyuan were imprisoned, was it just because Cui Hengyue sneaked out of the house and was discovered?

No, if this is the case, Cui Hengyue has no chance to change back into women's clothes, and it is impossible to return to Jinglanyuan.

It must be something else.

I don't know what happened to Cui Hengyue.

Otherwise, she should go out and find out...

Lady Wen stood up suddenly, walked to the door, and listened to the movement outside.

On the other side, after Liu Yang interrogated all the servants in Jinglan Garden, he returned to the front yard to report to Cui Quan.

"Master Guo, my subordinates have already interrogated all the servants in Jinglan Garden, except for Mrs. Wen who was on duty in the main room last night, the others did not know about Yuan Niang sneaking out of the mansion.

"Also, I asked Shui Fu and Shui Rong about Yuanniang's past at Yunxuan Temple."

Hearing this, Cui Quan's eyes showed interest: "What did they say?"

So Liu Yang told Cui Quan exactly what Shui Fu and Shui Rong said.

After listening, Cui Quan sat on the chair without saying a word...
