Chapter 31 The Truth Comes Out
Housekeeper Luo Er knelt down on his knees and cried to Yuanwai Luo: "Yuanwai, I have been wronged. I owe money to Lin San. He threatened me and asked me to help him get the eldest lady, but I didn't agree to him. .My family has been in the Luo Mansion for generations, and I have never done anything wrong to the Luo Mansion. Please check it out."

Wu Yan said coldly: "I'm surprised, if Lin San only asked you for money, why didn't he go there during the day, instead he sneaked to the back door of Luo Mansion in the middle of the night. Oh, by the way, Miss Luo lives in In the backyard, you have already colluded, right? If Ah Niu hadn’t accidentally killed Lin San by mistake that day, I really don’t know what would have happened. Thinking about it makes people’s teeth chill.”

Butler Luo's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth at Wu Yan and said, "Boy, don't wrong a good man. Who said that Lin San was killed by Ah Niu? I killed him."

As soon as this remark came out, the courtroom was suddenly very quiet, obviously everyone was stunned by this unexpected change.Wu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she went through so much trouble today just to force out the words of Housekeeper Luo Er.Because although she speculated that the murderer was Luo Er's housekeeper, she didn't have any evidence. If Luo Er's housekeeper refused to admit it to death, there was nothing she could do.

Butler Luo Er suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and lowered his head remorsefully.

Wu Yan said softly, "You finally admitted it."

Housekeeper Luo Er sighed: "This is the end of the matter, and I have nothing to hide. I shouldn't be addicted to gambling and owe money to Lin San. He has been helping me with the debt and asked me to take him to Missy's boudoir. I couldn't be forced, so I pretended to promise him and asked him to come here in the middle of the night. I just wanted to kill him without anyone noticing, so as to avoid future troubles.

"It just so happened that A Niu pushed him onto a rock that day and broke his head. I had an idea, and as soon as A Niu walked away, I went around behind Lin San, picked up a big rock, and smashed it hard on his head. , He died without a hum.

"Then I found that villager, gave him some benefits, and asked him to be a witness. After everything was arranged, I reported the matter to the staff and told him that Ah Niu had killed Lin San. I thought that this matter could be concealed, Let Ah Niu be the scapegoat, who knows that Lin San's haunted soul will find you, young master."

After Luo Er's housekeeper finished speaking, everyone immediately exploded.Liu Zhifu slapped the gavel, and shouted: "Bold Luo Er, murdering someone and trying to frame others, the death penalty is inevitable. A Niu, since you are innocent, the government will acquit you and release you in court."

A Niu Niang was so happy that she almost fainted, A Niu hurriedly supported his mother, and stood there blankly, with joy and sadness on her face, as if in a dream.

"Daddy." A crisp voice sounded outside the door.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a beautiful and dignified young girl walking in slowly from the gate of the court. Luo Yuanwai hurried forward and hugged her, crying: "Ailian, you scared Daddy to death, if you have any troubles , How do you tell Dad to face your dead mother?"

Ailian also cried: "I'm sorry, Daddy, it's my daughter who is not filial. All this is a scheme set up by Mr. Wu. Yesterday, Mr. Wu came to see me, and I only knew that Brother A Niu was in jail, and today he will be executed. Mr. Wu told me that Brother A Niu was wronged, and only this way could save his life, so I had to follow his plan. Daddy, no wonder you have locked me in the room for the past three months and forbade me to Go out. You shouldn't have kept it from me."

"Yes, Ailian, Daddy shouldn't have kept it from you. Daddy thought that A Niu was really a murderer. Daddy was afraid that you would be sad, and that if you went to see him in prison, it would ruin your reputation if it spread. He wanted to wait for him to die. You will naturally give up. After today's incident, Daddy has figured it out. Daddy doesn't want to lose you. Daddy wants a happy daughter. Since you and A Niu are in love, Daddy will help you both. .”

"Really, thank you dad." Ailian smiled, tears still hanging on her face.

Ah Niu was also overjoyed, stepped forward and kowtowed to Luo Yuanwai: "Thank you, Yuanwai."

Luo Yuanwai had mixed feelings in his heart, and said with a wry smile, "You're still called Yuanwai, what a fool."

Housekeeper Luo Er knelt down in front of Luo Yuanwai and Miss Luo, bowed his head and said, "Yuanwai, miss, congratulations to both of you. Luo Er has never done anything wrong to you, although he once framed Ah Niu. Miss, look For the sake of Luo Er taking care of you since childhood, please forgive Luo Er this time."

Miss Luo helped Second Housekeeper Luo, and said softly, "Second Housekeeper, I don't blame you, you committed this crime of murder because of me. Besides, it's also because of this incident that Ah Niu and I are here today. Sigh , It would be great if you told me and Dad about the debt earlier."

Butler Luo Er walked up to Wu Yan again, and said, "Mr. Wu, Luo Er committed a crime of his own accord and cannot live. He fell into your hands. Luo Er is convinced. I just ask you to return Lin San's IOU to Luo Er. This grievance between me and him can only be settled in the underworld."

Wu Yan took out a piece of folded paper from her sleeve, and asked Housekeeper Luo Er, "You mean this?"
