Money fans cute baby come to cheat father

Chapter 319

"What?" Hearing this, He Lankang and He Lanyi looked at the little maid in shock at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.

In their eyes, Lian'er has always been an honest maid who abides by the rules, but now she says that the old lady was killed by her, how can she convince others?

Even Yan Xiaoxiao, an outsider, looked at this pretty little girl with astonishment, and there was no way to connect her with the murderer.

Only He Lanjing still maintained his composure as the patriarch, he looked at Lian Er with silent eyes as if he had never known her before.

It wasn't until seeing Lian'er that he felt guilty and short of breath, that he slowly said in a steady tone: "Lian'er, are you sure you killed the old lady?"

"Yes, it's the servant girl." Lian'er gritted her teeth secretly, deciding to risk her life to save He Lanming.After thinking for a while, she continued, "A few days ago, my servant accidentally broke the old lady's most beloved jadeite bracelet, and was punished by the rod thirty times. The servant was resentful, and originally just wanted to scare the old lady. Out of breath, I never thought that I would accidentally push the old lady down the steps. At that time, the servants were in a panic, so they ran away without daring to shout."

As early as on the way to the mourning hall, Lian Er had already made up a set of explanations in her mind, and now she talked about what happened at that time in a coherent manner, as if it was really the case at that time.

However, the three brothers of Helan's family were not so easy to fool. How could it be possible for Mrs. Helan's life to be pushed by a mere little maid?

"Nonsense!" He Lankang gave Lian'er a cold look, and asked in a deep voice, "My mother used to be a high-ranking hunter. She used to be so skilled. How could you, a lowly maid, be able to murder her?"

"That's right! Mother was strong and thoughtful before she was alive, so how could she stumble in your hands?" He Lanyi was unwilling to believe her words. In his mind, the old lady had always been a majestic and tall existence. How can a handmaid's life be shaken?

Only He Lanjing didn't speak, but frowned thoughtfully.The more silent he is at the moment, the more uncertain Lian Er will be.

"Brother, you just said something!" Seeing that he had been silent, He Lanyi couldn't help but said, "Do you also believe what this lowly maid said? You murdered him just because you were beaten with a stick dozens of times." Mother's life, do you think such a reason makes sense?"

He didn't believe a single word of what Lian Er said.Lian'er is an orphan. All these years, she has been taking care of the old lady's daily life. The relationship between her and the old lady cannot be broken with dozens of boards.

"Lian'er, you heard it too. What you said is not convincing. How could you successfully attack the old lady with your little three-legged skills?" He Lanjing stepped forward and stopped at the door, watching her word for word. Suddenly asked, "Tell me, who murdered my mother?"

When He Lanjing walked towards her, Lian'er immediately felt an invisible pressure.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately fell to her knees: "Your servant, your servant used cartilage powder on the old lady." After saying this, she held a small paper bag over her head with trembling hands.

As expected, He Lanjing's expression changed, he took the paper bag from her hand, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"Bold! Where did you get this bag of cartilage powder?" He tightly squeezed the paper bag in his hand, and the expression in his eyes gradually turned cold.

As the name suggests, cartilage powder, as long as people take it, the bones of the whole body will become weak, and they will not be able to use a little strength.

This kind of thing was invented by the poison family in the early years. It was cast aside by the people of Jianghu because it was too shameful. How could it appear in the Helan Mansion?

"Brother, is this really cartilage powder?" Seeing his expression, He Lanyi couldn't help asking.

"Look for yourself!" He Lanjing handed him the paper bag, and when he heard it, his expression changed.

"Lian'er, my mother treats you well on weekdays, but you actually did such a thing, look at me..."

Before He Lanyi finished speaking, He Lanjing stopped him.

"Lian'er, I'll give you a chance to pay off your crimes. As long as you tell the mastermind behind this incident, I can spare you this time."

Lian Er was shocked all over, and then bowed her head and kowtowed to him a few times, and when she raised her face again, she changed into a resolute expression that was not afraid of life and death: "Thank you for the wrong love of Patriarch for Lian Er, it's just that the matter of murdering the old lady is indeed Lian Er's fault." Lian Er is ashamed of the old lady's love for what she did alone, and she can only die to apologize!"

After saying this, she kowtowed to He Lanjing three more times, then stood up abruptly and rushed towards the wall of the mourning hall.

Yan Xiaoxiao stood at the innermost side, looking at Lian Er's posture, she clearly wanted to hit the wall and commit suicide.Without even thinking about it, she reached out and grabbed Lian Er's back collar.

Lian Er was even smaller than Yan Xiaoxiao, Yan Xiaoxiao pulled her back without much effort, making it difficult for her to move.

"You, you let go, let me go..." Lian'er desperately tried to break free from her hand, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless.

"Don't be so overwhelmed, there is always a solution to everything, there is no need to seek death!" Not only did Yan Xiaoxiao not let go, but he held her tighter.

He Lanjing walked over without losing the opportunity, looked at Lian'er and slowly opened his lips and said: "Lian'er, the old lady will be buried tomorrow, I don't want you to commit suicide before that. At the same time, I also hope that you will reflect on yourself. Before the spiritual seat, I promise to spare you from death. But in the future, you will no longer be a high-ranking maid, you will be sent to the kitchen to be a rough maid."

After hearing He Lanjing's words, Lian'er was shocked again. She originally wanted to die and escape, but she didn't expect that He Lanjing would show mercy and want to let her live.

"Patriarch, Lian'er is guilty, and I will die!" Lian'er had tears in her eyes, and regret mixed on her face.

However, she didn't understand why the patriarch wanted to keep her life, even if she died ten thousand times due to her crimes, it was not enough!
"Death is the most painful thing. This kind of punishment is too light for you!" He Lanjing looked at her with a cold expression, "Lian'er, I order you to live well, and you will have a chance to redeem your sins in the future."

Lian Er was very grateful. Before coming to the mourning hall, she was already mentally prepared to die instead of He Lanming, but she never expected that the head of the family would show mercy to her.

"Thank you Patriarch, thank you Patriarch for your great kindness! Lian Er will repay you with a grass title ring in the future!"

"It's getting late. Let's talk about it later. Go back and rest."

"Please let me kowtow to the old lady." Lian Er solemnly kowtowed to the coffin before exiting the mourning hall.

Seeing her leave, He Lanyi turned cold and asked in dissatisfaction: "Brother, Lian'er killed her mother, how can you let her go so easily?"
