Chapter 51
The dumb girl's hands were tied behind her back, her head was hanging down, and her hair was in a messy bun. She couldn't make a sound at all, but her mouth was still blocked with a rag.

"Come here, take out the cloth from the mouth of Nanny Hai, the steward of the embroidery house, I have something to ask her!" Yan Cangxiong ordered, his voice was low, implying invisible coercion and courage.

Haimao is in her thirties, looks upright, with fair skin, and a pair of phoenix eyes shining brightly. Although her hands are tied and her hair is messed up at the moment, she doesn't look too embarrassed. After she can speak, she first said: " If the Marquis has something to ask, the servants will know everything!"

Yan Cangxiong glanced at Nanny Hai: "The tiger-headed cloak that Fourth Young Master wore at the Spring Banquet was newly made by your embroidery workshop?"

Yan Cangxiong's question was harsh enough, one sentence counted all the people in the embroidery room, and those kneeling maids and women immediately became agitated, their mouths were blocked and they could only make a whimpering sound, shaking their heads like rattles .

Grandma Hai also felt a little thumping in her heart, but she quickly stabilized her mind and said calmly: "It was made by a special person in the embroidery room. The fourth young master is delicate and delicate, so the maidservant asked the best embroiderer in the embroidery room to do it herself." Sewn. The maidservant only wanted to make the best clothes for the Fourth Young Master, but never expected..."

Yan Cangxiong raised his thick eyebrows: "Who is it?"

Haimao looked at the dumb girl kneeling beside her with a heartbroken look, and said firmly, "It's the dumb girl! Because the dumb girl's craftsmanship is the best among the embroiderers, everything from cutting to sewing is done by her." One hand."

After hearing Nanny Hai's words, all the servants breathed a sigh of relief except Ya Gu, but Ya Gu raised her head in fear and made a whining sound.

"You are the dumb girl? Tell me, why did you put hydrangea petals in the cloak? Why did you harm the fourth young master?" Yan Cangxiong stared coldly at the dumb girl. Aunt's sin.

A servant roughly tore the rag out of the dumb aunt's mouth, but she was already dumb, what should she say?
The dumb girl could only let out broken sobs, shook her head constantly, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Yan Cangxiong narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand and gently twirled the beard on his chin: "You can't talk?"

The dumb girl nodded hurriedly.

"In that case, you should answer by shaking your head or nodding your head." Yan Cangxiong said, the servants in the courtyard felt that Lord Hou was a just and selfless master, and they were willing to give Mute Aunt a chance to argue against such obvious evidence.

The dumb girl also nodded happily, and then kowtowed to Yan Cangxiong to express her gratitude.

"Mother Hai said that this tiger-head cloak was only in your hands from beginning to end?" Yan Cangxiong asked, pointing to a tattered tiger-head cloak at his feet.

That cloak was indeed made by Mute Aunt alone. Mute Aunt did not notice the mystery in Yan Cangxiong's words and nodded hurriedly. After nodding, she suddenly noticed something. It is true that the cloak was made by her alone, but she was definitely not the only one. After handling it alone, she quickly shook her head again, but how could the tall man sitting in front of her give her a chance to repent.

"Bold! I thought you couldn't speak, so I gave you a chance to refute, but now you admit it and want to go back on your word. Do you think that the master of the Hou Mansion is just letting you play around?" Yan Cangxiong snapped He patted the armrest of the seat and shouted angrily.

Aunt Wu had already decided that Mute Aunt was the murderer of her son, so she rushed over regardless, and slapped Mute Aunt on the head and face, crying as she lashed out, "You poisonous woman, tell me, I have nothing to do with you!" You have no grudges, why do you want to harm the fourth young master, ah? Tell me? Do you know how uncomfortable the fourth young master is? You perverted woman, I will kill you! I will kill you!..."

Yan Cangxiong and the old lady couldn't help frowning when Aunt Wu fought violently regardless of her image. Yan Cangxiong winked at Nanny Jiang, and Nanny Jiang immediately stepped forward to pull Aunt Wu away.

Aunt Wu was crying like pear blossoms and rain, and she was miserable, but she was merciless in her attack. After she was pulled away by Madam Jiang, everyone saw that Mute Girl's face had been swollen, her nose and the corners of her mouth were swollen. bleeding.

The dumb girl seemed to feel hopeless too, stuck in place like a piece of broken wood, motionless.

Yan Cangxiong felt that the trial of the case was over and everyone was alerted, so he decided to ask the dumb aunt to kill him.

Just when everyone thought that the dumb girl was the murderer and that she was about to be executed, they saw a little girl in her arms suddenly squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of the old lady, Lord Hou and Mrs. Chen, with a clear and high voice The childish voice said loudly: "Old lady, Lord Hou, madam, the sage said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and the slaves dared to think that this principle also applies to the Hou Mansion, and the peace and stability of the Hou Mansion are also the responsibility of all servants. The third-class maid who has just entered the mansion is also willing to do her part for the Marquis Mansion, so I don’t know if I should say something or not!”
