"I don't know if Mrs. Xue has thought about it. If someone took advantage of Miss Zhaoyan's absence and jointly blamed her for such indiscretions, wouldn't it be easy?" Wei Linfeng looked at Mrs. Xue and asked .

Mrs. Xue was shocked when she heard the words, and looked at Wei Linfeng.

"You mean my maidservant Zhiyan and Zhaoyan are lying?"

Wei Linfeng looked at Mrs. Xue and said: "Whether to lie or not, the old lady can judge in her own heart. Zhao Yan's girl's skills are extraordinary, and not just any man can bully her."

"Master Wei, are you questioning the testimony of our Xue family?" Mrs. Xue frowned.

Wei Linfeng said with a smile: "Old Madam Xue, I didn't say that, but I think the reason for this is not simple."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xue frowned and fell into silence.

"Does Master Wei think that someone deliberately framed Zhaoyan?" Mrs. Xue asked.

"Madam Xue's words are wrong. Ye Zhaoyan is the jewel in the palm of the Ye family and your most valuable granddaughter. Who can frame her?" Wei Linfeng said with a slight smile.

After hearing Wei Linfeng's words, Mrs. Xue's heart tightened. Although Wei Linfeng's words were euphemistic, they implied threats.

She knew in her heart that what she did this time was indeed a little too much, and she took advantage of Old General Ye's absence to make his daughter and granddaughter suffer.If Wei Linfeng finds out that they wronged Ye's mother and daughter, it will definitely be detrimental to the Xue family.

For so many years, the Xue family has been in a weak position, and its strength is slightly inferior to the second-class families in the capital.

In the past few years, under her secret management, it has finally improved somewhat, and it is the critical moment that it cannot fall short.

Mrs. Xue was silent for a while, and then said, "Zhiyan, tell me!"

Xue Zhiyan flinched, and looked up at Wei Linfeng.She knew that if she didn't say something today, Wei Linfeng would definitely not let her go.

Forcibly suppressing her panic, she took a deep breath and said, "Yes, grandma. I did hear a woman crying inside the room."

Having said that, Xue Zhiyan paused, then knelt down tremblingly and said, "It's just that I don't know who the owner of that cry is. When I heard that cry outside the house, I thought the sound was very familiar. But I didn't go in and see..."

"Haven't you gone in to see it?" Mrs. Xue asked with a frown.

"Well," Xue Zhiyan nodded and said, "Because the voice in the room is too shrill and terrifying, I'm afraid it will attract other people, so I dare not rush in."

After hearing Xue Zhiyan's words, Mrs. Xue's frown became even tighter.

Xue Zhiyan paused, and continued, "I think that person is most likely Sister Zhaoyan, because she once told me that she likes a man very much, but she doesn't know why she was taken away."

Mrs. Xue's face became more serious when she heard this.

Xue Zhiyan's words surprised everyone present, even the older monk beside Mrs. Xue couldn't help but widen his eyes, showing a look of shock on his face.

possible? !
It was clear just now that he swore that it must be Ye Zhaoyan's voice!
And she also revealed that Ye Zhaoyan had a crush on a man? !

Ye Fugui couldn't hold back another burst of tears when she heard the words, she was worried for a long time just now, and now she feels better.

Originally, she had prepared for the worst, but at this moment, hope rose again in her heart.

Mrs. Xue's gaze fell on Xue Zhiyan's face, and after carefully examining her for a moment, she asked, "You really haven't been in the house, and you haven't seen that woman's face?"

Xue Zhiyan hurriedly shook her head and said, "No."

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Zhiyan with complicated eyes, and after a while she slowly opened her mouth and said: "Since you have never entered the room or seen that woman, how can you say that that person is Zhaoyan?".

Hearing Mrs. Xue's question, Xue Zhiyan's fingers hanging on both sides clenched into fists.

"It was Lian Shuang who saw it, and she told me that it was Zhaoyan's younger sister..."

For the current plan, the matter can only be pushed to Lian Shuang.

"Lian Shuang, have you ever seen that woman is Zhao Yan?"

Mrs. Xue looked at Lian Shuang who had already knelt down in the corner, with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.

Lian Shuang felt Mrs. Xue's gaze, she didn't dare to look directly into Mrs. Xue's gaze, so she could only lower her head.

"Slave. I can see clearly that the woman's clothes are very similar to Miss Zhaoyan's. However, I can only judge by the clothes and the back view, but I don't know the specific appearance." Lian Shuang hesitated and said.

Although Lian Shuang's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.

Mrs. Xue glanced at Lian Shuang, then turned her head to look at Xue Zhiyan, her face was full of disappointment, but her heart became more and more chaotic.

Wei Linfeng watched from the side, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that no one spoke at last, Huichan stood up and said: "I did hear the woman's shouting in the room, but I could see it clearly from outside the courtyard at that time. The girl Zhaoyan was clearly still fighting with people in the courtyard. There is absolutely no way the woman in this place is her."

"That's right." Hui Shang nodded in agreement, "I saw that when Miss Zhaoyan ran away, the clothes on her body seemed to be torn, and there were scars on her body, which should be caused by fighting with the guard."

After hearing the words of the two eminent monks, Mrs. Xue's expression became even uglier.

Hui Shang added: "As for who the woman in the room is, I have to ask the man in the room."

"That's not necessary. I saw a servant girl walking towards that wing, so I must know who that woman is." Hui Chan said.

Hearing these words, Xue Zhiyan's body froze suddenly, and her heart rose instantly.

Lian Shuang hurriedly lowered her head, her hands folded on her lap tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

"What maid?"

Mrs. Xue looked at him questioningly.

Hui Chan didn't pay attention, his gaze was directly on Lian Shuang, and he said indifferently: "It is Miss Zhaoyan's personal maid, Lian Shuang."

Mrs. Xue's expression became very gloomy when she heard this, with anger flashing in her eyes, she shouted sharply: "Lian Shuang!"

Lian Shuang was terrified by Mrs. Xue's voice, and hurriedly replied: "The servant is here!"

"You said you saw the person in the house wearing Zhaoyan's clothes?" Mrs. Xue asked in a deep voice while looking at Lian Shuang.

"Slave. Slave may be blind." Lian Shuang said.

"Looking at the eyes?"

Mrs. Xue sneered and said, "Master Huichan said you know who that woman is?"

Xue Zhiyan was flustered when she heard the words. In addition to the panic, anger rose in her heart. She stared at Hui Chan and asked coldly, "Master didn't follow in, so how do you know if Lian Shuang saw that woman with her own eyes?"

Hui Chan glanced at Xue Zhiyan indifferently, and said, "If you saw it with your own eyes, you can tell by asking."

Xue Zhiyan's face suddenly turned pale.

Lian Shuang broke into a cold sweat when she heard this, and Xue Zhiyan's angry question made her feel scared.

She didn't dare to imagine what kind of revenge she would receive after speaking Xue Zhiyan's name.
