Chapter 190 The confession doesn’t match up
  Mammy was from Jing'an Court and was ordered to torture Cuiping. Like the housekeeper, she only wanted to report the good news and did not think that there was anyone else in the house.
  After seeing the people in the room clearly, it was too late to take back his words and he quickly knelt down to say goodbye.
  Everyone in the room had different expressions.
  When Shen Xinyu heard her words, her face turned pale and she looked at Yu Qinglian.
  Cuiping went to the kitchen to get sweet soup and never appeared again.
  Shen Xinyu was busy discussing countermeasures with Yu Qinglian and Shen Zehuan, and had no idea at all. With Jing Muling's sudden visit later, she had long forgotten about Cuiping.
  After being told by the nanny, I realized that Cuiping had been captured and tortured in Jing'an Garden a long time ago!
  Shen Xinyu cleared her thoughts, pretended not to know, and asked the old lady in fear: "Grandma, what's going on?"
  "Some people say that they saw your girl and the boy who set the fire with their own eyes." The old lady looked complicated and said, "To prevent you from being frightened, I ordered people to quietly take Cuiping away for torture."
  "After a few hours, Cuiping finally relented. It seems that we will soon know who is going to set fire to the ancestral hall!"
  "What?" Shen Xinyu stood up from the chair in shock, and her voice became louder: "Cuiping? How could she conspire with the servant to burn down the ancestral hall? There must be some misunderstanding inside!"
  "Yes, mother." Yu Qinglian was also full of disbelief and said in support: "That girl from Cuiping signed a death contract. She started serving Xinyu at how old. How dare she do such a thing?"
  "Who told you this news? Could it be that that person had ulterior motives and deliberately said such words to provoke and frame Xinyu?"
  Shen Xinyu nodded and said: "Let's talk about the boy who set the fire earlier. He kept saying that it was Shen Jingya who ordered it. Why did Cuiping suddenly get involved again?"
  "Why are you so anxious?" The old lady glanced at their mother and daughter and said, "First listen to what Cuiping said."
  The two people's questions were pushed back by the old lady, but without getting the desired result, the mother and daughter looked at each other again.
  This time, there was only panic in each other's eyes, and it was real!
  The old lady turned to grandma and asked, "What did that girl confess?"
  Grandma did not dare to speak loudly, so she lowered her head and whispered: "Cuiping said that everything was her own decision and had nothing to do with anyone else!"
  Shen Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief and pretended, "How could it be possible? She has no reason to do this!"
  "According to Cuiping's confession, she hates the second young lady, saying that it is a shame and a great humiliation for the second young lady to ask her to pick up feces." Mammy still lowered her head and said: "So I used the second young lady to host the Ghost Festival and took the opportunity to cause trouble."
  "Her purpose is to make everyone suspect that the second young lady is an evil person. It is best to drive the second young lady out of the Taishi Mansion."
  Jing Muling snorted coldly and said: "The girl who signed the death contract dares to frame the young lady. Is this how the Grand Master's Palace controls her?"
  Shen Heshan stood up quickly and said: "Your Highness King Yu, please forgive me. It was the minor minister's lax conduct that made the mistake. It will definitely not happen next time!"
  "How dare there be a next time?" Jing Muling played with the teacup in her hand and said, "Think carefully, there is something wrong."
  Shen Heshan thought for a while and said, "Zhuoxi did ask some maids in the house to clean the toilet for her before. It is possible that the girl has a grudge. There is nothing wrong."
  "You are confused and careless, that's why this girl dared to frame the young lady!" After Jing Muling finished speaking, she turned to Zhengqing: "You tell me."
  "Yes." Zhengqing responded: "Just now, the eldest lady said that the young boy who set the fire had testified that he was the instigator of the third lady. Later, someone said that they met the young lady who set the fire and the maid next to the eldest lady."
  "Aren't the Grand Masters curious as to why the arson boy framed the third lady?"
  Shen Heshan froze and whispered: "Weichen just thought that there was no conflict between the two things, so he didn't care..."
  "Even if Third Miss does something wrong and brings shame to the Grand Master's Mansion, she is still the Miss of the Grand Master's Mansion. The Grand Master doesn't care about her, so the maids below dare to be presumptuous." Zhengqing returned to Jing Muling and asked for instructions.
  "Master, what's next?"
  Jing Muling paused while playing with the tea cup and said, "Since the Grand Master's Mansion cannot find out the cause, we naturally want to help. You can take people to continue to torture the girl."
  "Your Majesty!" Shen Heshan was worried that if Jing Muling continued to investigate, Shen Xinyu and Shen Zehuan would be found, so he stopped him and said, "How about we let Wei Chen deal with it on his own?"
  "If you could solve it, I wouldn't stand here." Jing Muling said coldly: "You are the prince's teacher, but you can't even solve this small matter, how can you share the prince's worries?"
  Shen Heshan looked complicated and did not dare to say anything more.
  Prince Yu's palace was doing things very quickly. After a while, a guard came in and reported: "Report to the prince, Maizi has confessed and admitted that he was the one who made his own decisions and bribed two dogs to kill the fish."
  "His purpose is not to disrupt the Ghost Festival, but to embarrass the second lady."
  "Maizi was also punished by the second lady to dig out feces?" Jing Muling asked.
  The old lady's face changed slightly, and she whispered: "Go back to your lord, no, Zehuan has just come back not long ago."
  "That's strange. Why did Maizi do this?" Jing Muling asked the guard, "Did he give a reason?"
  The guard hurriedly said: "Maizi said that he has some old feelings with Cuiping next to the eldest lady, and Delphinium next to the fourth lady. He did this to vent their anger for Cuiping and Delphinium!"
  "That's not right." Shen Xinjiao frowned and said, "My brother is usually out and Maizi follows him. He and my Delphinium have never interacted at all. Does he still want to drag me into the water?"
  "Fourth Miss." The guard said with a sneer: "The villain didn't say it, it was Maizi who insisted."
  Jing Muling could see the expressions of several people and said calmly: "It seems that Maizi still didn't tell the truth. Let's go to the trial!"
  As the guards left, the room fell into silence again.
  Everyone has their own thoughts, especially Shen Xinyu and Shen Zehuan.
  The two were afraid that Maizi and Cuiping would not be able to withstand the torture and would confess to them. At the same time, they were also afraid that Jing Muling would find out something else.
  Yu Qinglian was like an ant on a hot pot. She was anxious but couldn't find a way out, and she didn't dare to show it clearly.
  Only Shen Zhuoxi looked at the few people leisurely, waiting for the results for a while.
  Judging from the current situation, Maizi will say that he conspired with Cuiping. If several people are interrogating him at the same time, his confession will definitely not match up, and flaws will naturally be exposed.
  Sure enough, after a while, the guard who interrogated Maizi came back: "Your Majesty, Maizi confessed some more, saying that it was Cuiping who conspired and it was none of other people's business."
  "Oh?" Jing Muling's tone rose and she said, "What was the conspiracy?"
  "He said that the two of them wanted to frame the second lady, and he was responsible for killing the fish and making everyone suspicious of the second lady in an unknown name." The guard continued: "The Cuiping side bribed the young man to set the fire."
  "The two things combined are enough to give the second lady an unknown reputation."
  As soon as the guard finished speaking, the person interrogating Cuiping on the other side also responded: "Sir, Cuiping couldn't stand the torture and confessed, saying that she was the one who asked the arson boy to frame the third lady."
  "She just didn't want people to find out about her. She resented the second young lady. She burned Princess Xiaoqing's ranking to vent her anger, and also to make people think that the ancestors of the Shen family did not recognize the second young lady's identity."
  Jing Muling asked doubtfully: "Is there anything about mentioning wheat?"
  "The villain asked, Cuiping said that the matter of wheat has nothing to do with her." The guard asked for instructions: "What should we do now?"
