Chapter 186 Shen Jingya confesses
  As soon as the old lady returned to the yard, before the chairs were warm, Shen Jingya caught up with her.
  "Grandma, I've thought about it!" The old lady was surprised. Before she could speak, Shen Jingya knelt down and said, "I didn't do it, but I know who it is!"
  "What do you mean by this?" The old lady thought for a moment and said, "How do you know who it is?"
  "I know." Shen Jingya cried, trembling all over: "After dinner in the morning, I was thinking about going to the room behind the ancestral hall to get something, and accidentally met Cuiping next to the eldest lady."
  "Cuiping didn't see me, so I thought of avoiding it, but by chance, I saw Cuiping having sex with a boy in the ancestral hall."
  "At that time, I thought there was something shady going on between Cuiping and the boy. Out of curiosity, I leaned against the window and listened for a few words. I vaguely heard what Cuiping said about arson, money."
  "The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong. It didn't seem like a love affair at all, so I opened the paper on the window lattice and looked inside. I happened to see Cuiping handing over the banknote to the boy."
  "They also said that if you call for help when the fire is ignited, most people will not suspect that the person who called for the fire put out the fire..."
  The old lady vaguely thought of that scene and said suspiciously: "Are you sure you saw it correctly?"
  "Sure!" Shen Jingya cried in fear: "I wanted to see more clearly, so I accidentally kicked a branch in the corner and ran away in a panic. I don't know if they saw my back."
  "Now that the incident happened, I didn't expect that the boy insisted that it was me who instigated it. I was really unjust. Not to mention that I didn't have that much money. Even if I had it, why didn't I bribe people and directly harm the second lady instead of burning down the ancestral hall? ?”
  The old lady thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
  She asked in a stern voice, "Why didn't you say anything when I asked you just now?"
  "I don't dare." Shen Jingya's voice weakened: "Cuiping belongs to the eldest lady. I don't know whether he was bribed by someone or under the eldest lady's instigation. I'm afraid of getting angry, so I don't dare to say anything nonsense."
  "The second lady woke me up just now. If I continue to remain silent, I will be blamed. I have to tell the truth in order to save my life."
  The old lady pondered for a moment, as if muttering to herself: "If Shen Xinyu really ordered it, why would she want to burn down the ancestral hall?"
  Shen Jingya was full of suspicions, but she didn't dare to say anything. If she opened her mouth, she would be implicated in the incident with Wu Yong, which was not good for her.
  The old lady glanced at the kneeling Shen Jingya and said again: "Are you sure you didn't lie?"
  "I swear on my own life." Shen Jingya was anxious, raised her hands to the sky and said: "If you tell any lies, you will die a good death!"
  It's not like she can fake her worries and fears.
  The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, looked it over, and said in her mind: "Okay, I understand. You go back and rest first. This matter will be investigated clearly."
  Shen Jingya was uneasy and said: "Grandma, can you not tell me that it was me who confessed? I am afraid of being retaliated by the eldest lady, and now I don't even have anyone around me to keep me company."
  "If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid others will think that I committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
  "If things are true as you say, she won't dare to touch you." The old lady ordered Aunt Yuan: "Send the third lady back to rest, and then send two nuns and two excited girls to follow her."
  Shen Jingya breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to thank An.
  After the people left, the old lady's face became darker and darker, and she asked someone to invite Shen Heshan over.
  Shen Heshan was about to take a nap, feeling vaguely impatient. He thought it was the old lady calling, so he had to hold back his anger: "I wonder why mother called me here?"
  "The clues have been found." The old lady said coldly: "Someone saw with their own eyes that it was Cuiping next to Shen Xinyu who bribed the boy to set fire!"
  "Xinyu?" Shen Heshan perked up and shook his head: "Impossible. That kid has always been sensible and well-educated. Why did he order someone to burn the ancestral hall when he had nothing to do?"
  "I didn't think about it either." The old lady spoke more slowly, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that you are here to target Zhuo Xi?"
  "What can she target?" Shen Heshan immediately denied the idea: "There is no conflict between the two of them. Shen Zhuoxi will not marry King Yu in the future, and there will be no conflict with Xinyu."
  "The person who told you must have seen it wrong. It's impossible."
  Seeing this, the old lady frowned and said, "I thought so at first, but I don't rule out that someone bribed Cuiping and asked her to frame Xinyu. It's better to secretly call Cuiping over for interrogation first."
  "You make the decision." Shen Heshan stood up and said, "I don't believe Yu is so careless."
  The old lady shook her head helplessly and said: "Before the matter comes to light, anything is possible. Since you don't want to take care of it, I will be the villain!"
  As soon as Shen Heshan left, the old lady sent Cuiping to ask questions.
  Cuiping happened to go out to prepare desserts to relieve the heat and avoided Shen Xinyu. Seeing that it was the person sent by the old lady, Cuiping knew it and hesitated to inform Shen Xinyu.
  Unexpectedly, Aunt Yuan didn't give her a chance and took her away directly.
  The old lady was sitting at the top with a dark face. When she saw her, she asked, "Do you know why I want you to come?"
  Cuiping was so frightened that her back went cold. She knelt down and said bravely, "I don't know!"
  "What an ignorant person." The old lady snorted coldly: "Someone saw you using money to bribe the boy who set the fire, and you also taught him how to escape after setting the fire without being suspected."
  If you don't admit it at the beginning, you will definitely be killed later.
  Cuiping lowered his head and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "No slave, it must be someone who deliberately made up the frame."
  "So, are you not going to admit it?" The old lady slammed the table and said angrily: "Okay, I'll give you the punishment once, and I want to see if it's your words or your bones that are tough!"
  "Mother Yuan, take this person down. Just how you tortured the young man, you will torture her the same way now. Don't let her die!"
  "No, don't!" Cuiping was still struggling: "I don't dare, I'm not a slave!"
  Shen Xinyu didn't know yet about Cuiping being taken away.
  She was talking in Yu Qinglian's Bihe Garden. She didn't see Cuiping for a while, and said angrily: "Little hooves, you are getting more and more lazy. Go to the kitchen to get something, and it still takes so long!"
  "This is not the time to care about her." Yu Qinglian frowned and said, "Shen Jingya doesn't know if she can find out anything else, so we better not get implicated."
  "Don't worry, I told that boy a long time ago." Shen Xinyu sneered, not worried at all: "After so many tortures, not a single piece of his body is healed, but he still insists that it's Shen Jingya."
  "As long as nothing else is found, it will be fine. Shen Jingya should take the blame!"
  "That's what I said, but my heartbeat is so fast that I feel uneasy after all." Yu Qinglian said, stroking her heart.
  Shen Zehuan poured a cup of tea for Yu Qinglian and said, "Mom is just overthinking. Just don't worry about eldest sister's work. Even if something is found out, for the sake of the friendship between eldest sister and the prince, father will be vague about it."
  "The relationship between your eldest sister and the prince has eased." Yu Qinglian sighed: "It's better not to cause trouble."
  The mother and daughter were talking, and no one paid attention to Shen Xinjiao, who was sitting silently aside, holding on to the handkerchief tightly, biting her lips until they bled.
