The pretty mistress of Hou Ye's family

Chapter 77
Early the next morning, Yao Yao went to the prison to visit Zhao Wan.

She was sitting by the bed, taking ointment to smear her fingers, and Song Ci was standing outside the cell.

Yao Yao was very satisfied with Song Ci's arrangement and care, and said softly to Zhao Wan, "Girl, you have to thank General Song well. If it wasn't for her, your life might not be able to withstand me coming to save you."

Zhao Wan looked at Song Ci with a guilty conscience, and hesitated, "Thank you, General, for saving your life."

But Song Ci didn't have a good face, he still remembered that day when she insulted He Xiaolian aggressively.

Seeing Song Ci's expression, Yao Yao sighed deeply.Stepping out of the cell, he whispered in his ear, "My Wanwan is not a bad girl. General, don't be angry with her. If you apologize, I will speak for her."

Song Ci shook his head, "No need. I can't bear it."

"Then another day, ask your wife to meet, and I will ask Wanwan to say sorry to your wife in person?"

Song Ci closed his eyes and sighed, "No need. She... has returned to her mother's house."

Yao Yao was stunned for a moment, "Are you guys having a fight?"

"Yeah." Song Ci's face was full of sadness, and the family was not harmonious, so the pressure was great.

Yao Yao smiled and said, "That's easy, I'll help you bring your wife back to your house some other day."

Song Ci murmured in his heart.

He Xiaolian's temper, would he not know?Ask her to go home?Definitely a huge price to pay.

Yao Yao went back to Ye Zi's cell, opened the chain, and stepped into the cell, the smell of corruption came to her nostrils.

There is really no comparison between this cell and Zhao Wan's cell, it really is a heaven and a hell.

Yao Yao covered her mouth and nose, resisting the urge to cough.

The servant came in with a chair, Yao Yao sat down gracefully, flicked the dust off her knees, and looked at the kneeling servant girl, "Is the leaf?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Girl Lin Xia fell into the water, Eunuch Hong told me to handle it. Come on, you can dictate what happened that day."

Ye Zi looked up dully, "Uh... slave... slave saw Zhao Wan pushing Lin Xia into the water..."

"that's it?"

"Uh……"

"How did you push? Which part to push? Front or back? Is there a fight?"

"..."

Yao Yao rolled her eyes and smiled coldly, "Can't answer any of them?"

"I... I saw that she pushed her down from behind. Lin Xia fell into the water before she could resist."

Yao Yao smiled softly, "Since you witnessed the incident with your own eyes, did you call for help the first time?"

"..."

"Could it be that he didn't shout? Instead, he brought people from the Punishment Department directly to arrest him? What's the idea?"

"Madam—slave, slave—"

Yao Yao spread her hands and interrupted her, "Girl Lin Xia is not dead. After she wakes up, I will be able to find out who pushed her into the water. Then the truth will be revealed!"

"Not dead??" Ye Zi's face changed drastically when he heard that.How could Lin Xia not be dead?This is really not in her plan!

If Lin Xia wakes up, all her previous lies will be broken without attacking.

That being the case, Ye Zi could only cry and shout, "Ma'am! This is what the Second Imperial Concubine ordered the slaves to do!"

coming!

Two-way slander, if you fail to slander Zhao Wan, then come to slander Yao Yu.

If it wasn't for Eunuch Hong's exhortation yesterday, she was afraid that she would really be pissed off by this girl at this moment.

Yao Yao sat upright indifferently, "Oh? The second concubine wants you to push Lin Xia into the water? To murder the emperor's heir?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! The second imperial concubine ordered me to do all of this. She promised her servant that as long as I kill Lin Xia, she will make me the second imperial concubine."

Yao Yao smiled contemptuously, "Is that also the second imperial concubine who instigated you to put the blame on my Zhao Wan?"

"Yes! Everything was instigated by the second imperial concubine. Please enlighten my wife!"

"Oh... Is there any evidence? If you show the evidence, I will believe you. If there is no evidence to prove it, then I will only recognize you as the murderer. Girl, don't think that I have the same capacity as the steward of the Punishment Division. Watching you talk nonsense."

"Slave, slave—"

"Is there no proof?"

Ye Zi wept and shouted, "Ma'am, let the second imperial concubine come over and confront the servants! She really did say that!"

Yao Yao laughed three times, "Do you have no brains, girl?"

Ye Zi was taken aback.

Yao Yao narrowed her eyes and said, "Things have come to this point, even if you shift the responsibility to the second imperial concubine, it will not offset your sins, you have to die."

"Ah...this..."

"No matter who is behind you, as long as I identify you as a murderer, you can only be sacrificed. Understand? To put it more clearly, at this moment, I am the same as the head of the Punishment Department. He believes that my Zhao Wan is the murderer. , It is a truth to execute a sentence without a trial. Your life is in my mind."

Ye Zi bowed his head weakly, sobbing, "Madam, please forgive me————Madam, please—"

"It's okay to spare your life, it's just a matter of one sentence. So now, I just need to be honest, did you push Lin Xia?"

"Yes! I pushed it."

"How did the second imperial concubine explain to you?"

"The second imperial concubine wanted me to get rid of her child, so she agreed to let me be the second prince's concubine. This is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. But later, I met Miss Mu Li."

"Mu Li?" Yao Yao was slightly surprised, but it only happened for a moment.It can be understood that the woman who hates her the most at present is no one but Mu Li, and she is the only one who has some power to make trouble in the palace. "and then?"

"Mu Li asked this servant to lure Lin Xia to you, then push her into the water, kill her and put the blame on Miss Zhao Wan. Ma'am, this servant has already told the whole story. , Madam, please spare my life, spare the life of this servant."

Yao Yao got up slowly, and snorted, "Stay quietly for now. I have to interrogate other prisoners."

Stepping out of the cell, the guards locked the door.

Song Ci stood outside the cell and praised, "Madam is so smart, you can get a confession without torture."

Yao Yao muttered, "General, don't joke with me at this juncture, I'm in a bad mood."

Song Ci smiled and said, "Yes."

After crossing several walls, Yao Yao went to the place where the man was imprisoned, and opened the door of a cell. Similarly, she sat in a chair and stared at the eunuch kneeling on the ground.

Yao Yao asked in a cold voice, "Miss Lin Xia fell into the water only for a cup of tea. You came to my palace from the Punishment Department, at least half a stick of incense. You have the foresight to know that our Lord Hou's palace There will be a homicide, so rush to arrest people at the first time?"

The corners of Eunuch Ying's mouth twitched slightly, and he snorted, "Madam, I think you should stop checking, what's the matter? Didn't Eunuch Hong mention it to you?"

Yao Yao hated him contemptuously, and asked, "You want to say that I can't afford to offend the backers behind you? Right?"

Eunuch Ying snorted and laughed, "I don't know the little one!"

"It seems that I really can't afford to offend, and I really don't plan to continue the investigation. If it continues, it will not be good for me, nor will it be good for Lord Hou. But Zhao Wan is mine, and I will definitely protect her. I also want to protect her. It is bound to be reported. If your master let the dog bite people, if you want to appease my anger, you have to kill all the dogs. Eunuch Ying should understand this truth, right?"

Eunuch Ying's complexion changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"As for your masters, after I caught such a clumsy trap, their immediate reaction was to kill you slaves to appease my anger. Your little lives are being controlled by you. In the eyes of a loyal master, is it a fart?"
