Chapter 51 Day Off 12 Aggressive Interrogation

Song Lingyi hurriedly ran up to the two of them and pointed in the direction of Feiyun Pavilion: "Oh no, someone fell from the building there!"

"what?!"

Xie Yanshu and Zhao Yinxian were shocked. They had no time to ask who fell from the building and hurried towards the balcony.

On the way, they met several servants, and Xie Yanshu told them to quickly inform the elders at home.

"Fifth sister!"

Song Lingyi paused and looked in the direction of the sound.
Fourth sister Song Lingwan stood under a locust tree, with a lightly made-up face and a soft voice, "Where are you going?"

Feiyun Pavilion is just ahead, Zhao Yinxian and Xie Yanshu have already gone ahead.

Song Lingyi pondered for a moment and walked towards Song Lingwan, "Fourth sister, someone fell from the balcony, I'm looking for someone to help."

Song Lingwan was slightly surprised, "Really? Do you know who fell from the building?"

"…It's Xiao Xuan."

Song Lingwan lowered her eyes to hide the fierce look in them, "She almost caused you to fall off your horse on the polo field today, and you still saved her?"

"It's a matter of life and death. We can't just stand by and watch him die." Song Lingyi said without hesitation.

Song Lingwan smiled faintly, with a hint of paranoia and anger in her eyes. She stroked Fifth Sister's hair and said, "Fifth Sister, you are too kind, so she dares to bully you."

"..."For some reason, I always felt that the fourth sister in front of me was weird, and different from the gentle sister she usually was.

"Forget it, I'll go with you to see the situation."

Song Lingyi fell behind, looking at Song Lingwan's back
Just then I remembered that Fourth Sister was wearing a moon-white skirt with cloud pattern today.

White……

The person on the second floor of Feiyun Pavilion is also wearing white clothes

Looking closely at the fourth sister's figure, she is very similar to that person...

Thinking of this, Song Lingyi madly despised her own thoughts in her heart: Song Lingyi, you are crazy, you actually doubt Fourth Sister!
…………

Under the stage of Feiyun Pavilion
Zhao Yinxian first checked Xiao Xuan's breathing, then heaved a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "He should be unconscious."

Xie Yanshu also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as no one was killed. The Xiao family had a deep foundation in Chang'an, and the elders of the Xiao family were notoriously protective and domineering. If someone was killed, it would be difficult to explain to his mother.

Thanks to the servant's report, what happened in Feiyun Pavilion soon reached Li's ears.

Considering the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, Li forbade the servants to spread the matter of Feiyun Pavilion. She only brought Madam Xiao with her and ordered the servants of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to carry the injured Xiao Xuan to the wing room.

The doctor arrived in time and had already checked Xiao Xuan's injuries in the inner room. But his condition was not optimistic. He fell from such a high place and fell on the gravel road. His head was bleeding and he was unconscious. Even if he woke up, he would still have a root cause of illness.

Mrs. Xiao was worried about her daughter and cried very sadly, saying that her daughter had always been cautious, so how could she fall from the upstairs for no reason, with a hint of blaming her.

Li's face was dark. Organizing a polo match had caused so many problems. First, the horses lost control, and then someone fell from the building. She did not hold Xiao Xuan responsible for the injury in Xiangyuan. When Madam Xiao fell down and the situation was unclear, she put the blame for the fall on Wu'an Marquis' Mansion.

Even though she was dissatisfied, Li adhered to a rigorous and fair work style and was willing to give Madam Xiao an explanation. "Madam Xiao, don't worry. This happened in Xiangyuan. I will definitely give you an explanation."

It only took a cup of tea

Mother Fang, who was by Li's side, gathered all the people who appeared near Feiyun Pavilion at the time of the incident to Weirui Hall.

Weirui Hall was a spacious place that belonged to Lady Li of Xiangyuan to handle household chores. Li sat in front of the hall with a solemn expression.

There are ten people in the hall, all of whom are related to the fall from Feiyun Pavilion.

The first people Li interrogated were Song Lingyi and the young maid.

The maid was from the small kitchen of Marquis Wu'an's mansion. She passed by Feiyun Pavilion to deliver fresh fruit plates to the officials' wives. The head of the kitchen testified that her suspicion was minimal.

But it's not so easy for Song Lingyi to clear herself of suspicion.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Xiao Xuan had almost caused her to get into trouble on the polo field today. If there was anyone in Wu'an Marquis's mansion who wanted to harm Xiao Xuan, the most likely person was Song Lingyi.

Madam Xiao also realized this. When she was watching the trial, she said in an aggressive tone, "Miss Song Wu, Xuan'er had some problems with you today. Don't blame me for asking too many questions. I don't know where Miss Song Wu was when Xuan'er got into trouble. Is there anyone who can testify?"

Song Lingyi's answer was flawless: "When the incident happened, I had just come out of the wing room after applying medicine. Miss Zhao was there at the time. Feiyun Pavilion is far away from the wing room. Even if I wanted to harm her, I am not a bird with wings that can fly. How could I push her down in such a short time and find her together with the maid in the mansion?"

The time was indeed a bit tight, and with the maid's testimony, even if Madam Xiao didn't believe it, she couldn't put all the blame on her.

"Aunt Xiao, the incident happened in the remote Feiyun Pavilion. If Miss Song hadn't notified Sister Zhao and me in time, Miss Xiao would not have been able to receive timely medical treatment. If she wanted to harm people, how could she be so active?" Xie Yanshu said with reason and evidence.

Although Song Lingyi did not go to the polo field with them, it would take at least a quarter of an hour to get from the wing room to Feiyun Pavilion. In his opinion, Song Lingyi was kind-hearted and definitely not someone who would harm others.

Zhao Yinxian also said: "Yes, although they have a grudge, they can't just accuse someone without evidence."

……

Li continued to interrogate the people behind him
Zhao Yinxian and Xie Yanshu could testify against each other, and the suspicion was eliminated. Moreover, Zhao Yinxian and Xiao Xuan had always had a good relationship, and she had no motive to harm Xiao Xuan.

Next, only Song Lingwan was left to be tried.

Song Lingwan always gave people a gentle and kind impression. When Li asked her, she was just going through the motions: "Why did Fourth Miss Song appear near Feiyun Pavilion at that time?"

Weirui Hall is quiet

Song Lingwan smiled, but her eyes were cold as frost: "My sister was bullied and injured, so as an elder sister, I had to go and check on her. But Xiang Garden was too big, so I took the wrong road and ended up near Feiyun Pavilion."

"Is it such a coincidence?" Mrs. Xiao asked. They are both members of the Song family. Song Lingyi didn't have the time to commit the crime, but did Song Lingwan? They are sisters, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't work together, one person commits the crime and the other colludes with the other.

Song Lingwan is not at all inferior to Madam Xiao

"What do you mean, Madam Xiao? Although our Song family is not a noble family, we still have the proper family education. We Song family members will never do such things as haggling over every penny and treating human life as worthless."

Madam Xiao heard the sarcasm in her words, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her pupils turned cold instantly: "Then do you have any witnesses?"

"no"

Madam Xiao sneered: "Since there is nothing, how can you prove what you said?"

The four eyes met, the atmosphere was tense

"I can prove it!"

Hear the voice before seeing the person

Everyone's eyes were focused on the outside of Daowei Hall
Song Changling walked in alone with a solemn expression. He saluted Li first, then said, "Before the incident, I left the polo field with my fourth sister. Although we were not together, the time was close to when Miss Xiao fell from the building."
