Chapter 514: Bribed

Xu Muhua was stunned, watching the two of them staring at her with firm eyes, and a hint of stubbornness, as if they would cry if she didn't let them participate.

After a while, she smiled and let out a breath, "Well, I was worrying too much. I always treated you as children and didn't notice that you have all grown up."

Of course, she had never thought of raising her two younger brothers and sisters into greenhouse flowers. She just habitually wanted to protect them behind her so that they could have more carefree time. However, she did not consider that people grow up slowly and cannot grow up all at once.

Everything is hidden from them. They have never experienced it, never faced it, and how will they solve problems in the future? Can experience suddenly penetrate their brains?

Xu's mother and Xu Rui stood aside without saying anything, but their eyes were filled with satisfaction, especially Xu's mother.

As a mother, the happiest thing is to see my children being of one mind.

"In that case, let's all go to the main courtyard and sit down and talk slowly!"

Xu's mother finally understood that the eldest brother and Mu Hua must have done something behind her back again!
Only when they arrived at the main courtyard did Xu Muhua tell the story.

Mother Xu was shocked and angry. "Muhua, is what you said true? Your grandmother's illness was not accidental, but someone did it on purpose?"

"Mother, how can I joke about something like this? It was this Aunt Wan who broke into Grandmother's room in the middle of the night, opened the window while Grandmother was sleeping, and lifted the quilt that covered Grandmother, causing Grandmother to catch a cold at night."

"As for my grandmother, she thought it was because she wanted to stay cool at night, so she subconsciously lifted the quilt, which caused her to catch a cold and become sick. Mother, we need to interrogate this Aunt Wan thoroughly, but before interrogating her, it's best for you to first find out whether my grandmother has done anything to make Aunt Wan hold a grudge against her."

"But...even if she holds a grudge, why did she not do such a thing until now?"

Xu Muhua frowned.

This is indeed a suspicious point.

If it was really Grandma who had done something to make Aunt Wan hold a grudge against her, then as one of the most trusted people in Grandma's courtyard, she would have had plenty of opportunities to attack Grandma. Why did she wait until now?

"Sister, since you asked your elder brother to control this Nanny Wan, why don't you just interrogate her directly? Your elder brother and father are both in the military camp. There are plenty of means of interrogating people in the military camp, right?" Xu Nan asked angrily with a stern face.

Damn it, Aunt Wan is so cruel that she attacked my grandmother! She knew that my grandmother was old, but she still did this. She wanted to kill my grandmother!
Xu Jinyu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Brother, you must not let her go easily! I don't believe that grandma would do anything to let her down. Grandma trusted her so much, but she hurt grandma like this!"

Xu Rui's expression was grim. "Don't worry. Since she has done such a treacherous thing, we can't let her off easily!"

Otherwise, if the servants in the mansion follow suit, the whole place will be in chaos!

"Anan, if we don't investigate first and just interrogate her like this, she will admit that she hated her grandmother, but in fact it wasn't the case. Aren't we going to be deceived?"

Just like what mother mentioned just now, with so many opportunities to take action, why did Nanny Wan wait until now?

Father and eldest brother are both in the house now. If she takes action at this time, wouldn't she be more easily exposed?

With her father and eldest brother not around, she might have a chance to escape no matter what she did!

Thinking of this, something flashed through Xu Muhua's mind, but she failed to catch it in time. But she always felt that the thing that flashed through her mind just now was related to this matter.

Xu Nan thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the case. What if that was the truth... Oh, well, it didn't matter. At most it would just delay the time.

Xu's mother immediately said, "I'll check it out right now!"

Just as Xu's mother was about to get up, the nanny who was serving her came in and whispered something in her ear.

Mother Xu was surprised and blurted out: "The Hu family——"

She had only said two words when she remembered that the children were still there, so she swallowed her words back. "Let's talk about this later. I'm going to go see Aunt Wan first!"

Xu Muhua heard the word "Hu family" with sharp ears and knew that what happened in the Hu family last night had probably spread.

At the same time, I was a little annoyed that I was so angry last night that I forgot to ask the birds to help me check.

As he was speaking, the sound of birds chirping was heard outside the window. Xu Muhua was moved and stood up and walked over.

The remaining few people were a little confused.

How come my elder sister (younger sister) doesn’t forget about the little birds even at this time? It seems like she really likes these little animals!

Xu Muhua recognized at a glance that the leader was the bird he had put in a cage earlier.

She brought the bird over just to pretend that it would recognize people. After it recognized people, and the old lady needed to rest, she took the bird cage out and asked Shi Liu to take it to the yard and let it go.

I didn't expect it to come back so soon.

As soon as he saw her coming, Xiao Niao couldn't wait to say, "No need to check, we found it for you! That old guy took money from others and deliberately wanted to harm the old lady!"

"Yes, yes, yes. We saw a big box of gold ingots hidden in her room! Oh, and there are gold bars too!"

Xu Muhua felt both surprised and confused by this result.

Although my grandmother was the old lady of the Duke of Chengguo's mansion, she had long since stopped taking care of things and handed over the housekeeping power to my mother. In the mansion, she was just an old lady enjoying her old age.

Under such circumstances, who would spend so much money to bribe Aunt Wan to harm my grandmother? If they wanted to harm her, why not choose a more direct way, such as poisoning her?

She believed that even if poison was committed, with Nanny Wan's status and position in her grandmother's courtyard, she could easily find a scapegoat, get herself out of it, and finally get away safely.

But she used such a tactful way.

The more I thought about Xu Muhua, the more it didn't make sense.

But now that this has been confirmed, we can interrogate Nanny Wan.

She turned around and looked at the others, and said, "I'll go see if I can help mother in any way."

Xu Rui stared at her back, his eyes flashing with suspicion and uncertainty.

Why did he feel that Mu Hua seemed to walk to the window and stand there for a while, and then decided to go find his mother? It felt like he had some clue.

He couldn't help but walk to the window and take a look, but he didn't find anything unusual. Except for a few bird calls, everything was normal.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look too!"

After saying that, he strode out.

Xu Jinyu and Xu Nan looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Let's go and take a look too!"

Xu Rui quickly caught up with Xu Muhua, and just as he caught up, he heard her say beside her mother: "Mother, I think we should search Nanny Wan's room first, maybe we'll find something."

Hearing this, Xu Rui became even more suspicious whether she knew something.
