Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

Her series of thoughts sounded like a riddle, which made everyone more curious.

Lu Xinran continued to enter names into the system, but found that no information could be found.

Is the other person too far away from her or is he not here at all?

She looked up and around blankly, "Sister, are all the people who came to the birthday party today here?"

Lu Xinlan remained calm, looked at Tang Quyan tacitly, and then asked her unobtrusively.

"Who are you looking for? Let me see if they are here?"

"Pei Xiuzhuo, the third son of Dingkang Marquis's mansion."

"Who?"

Lu Xinlan thought she had heard wrongly. Dingkang Marquis Mansion was Pei's maiden home, and Pei Xiuzhuo was their cousin.

"You mean, cousin of the Pei family?"

"Ah."

Lu Xinran has already realized the other party's identity, but what does it have to do with her.

She was just a girl who came back from the countryside. The Lu family did not make a special trip to introduce her to relatives or outsiders. She didn't know anyone and didn't need to give face to anyone.

Pei's heart sank as she looked around the crowd at the people from Marquis Dingkang's mansion.

Brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece-in-law... She looked one by one and found that the younger generations of the Pei family were all in the crowd, except Pei Xiuzhuo.

[The note was written by Pei Xiuzhuo to Zhou Zhengya, but before that, Zhou Zhengya had someone send him a verbal message.]

Seeing this, her gaze immediately turned to the other maid kneeling on the ground.

"Sister, why did Lord Tang only interrogate one of the maids? Maybe the other maid is the one who knows everything."

When Qingye on the ground heard this, he immediately fell to the ground and cried with a trembling voice.

"My Lords, I really don't know anything. I am only a second-class maidservant beside the young lady. I cannot serve the young lady in person. I really don't know anything."

[She lied, but she was quite stubborn. She was the one who sent the message to Pei Xiuzhuo. When Zhou Zhengya met Pei Xiuzhuo privately before, he only brought her with him.]

[This maid's name is Aoba, right? Let me see why she is so stubborn. ]

I searched Qingye's name in the system and found a booklet.

She clicked on it excitedly and immediately started to click her tongue.

[So that's how it is. Pei Xiuzhuo sent this green leaf to Zhou Zhengya, and he sent it in a few years ago.]

[A few years ago... Zhou Zhengya was only 11 or 12 years old, his back teeth hadn't even grown out yet, and he sent someone to jail?! Isn't he a pedophile pervert?]

The eyes of the eavesdroppers widened instantly, and they all looked towards the people in Dingkang Marquis Mansion.

The old marquis's wife knocked her cane hard, wanting someone to go forward and drag Lu Xinran down and tell her to stop talking nonsense!

Before this thought even came to mind, the emperor heard the noise and glanced over at him coldly.

Her back instantly felt cold and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to show any emotion.

Song Junyan has already asked his men to look for Pei Xiuzhuo. As long as he is still in Ronghui Garden, he must be brought over.

Lu Xinran was still immersed in the joy of unraveling the mystery, flipping through several booklets.

[Qingzhu has been helping Pei Xiuzhuo create opportunities to meet over the years, delivering letters and keepsakes, and telling Pei Xiuzhuo all her preferences.]

[The other party catered to her needs, making Zhou Zhengya think that he was her beloved, and she would go out of the house to meet him whenever she found an opportunity.]

[Pei Xiuzhuo had a courtyard in Qingpingfang, and she would meet him there secretly when she left the house.]

[Hmm, why do people like to buy yards in Qingpingfang? The Zhou family and their sons have a yard there, right? ]

[So this is... I feel too weak after coming out of the building, so I want to take a rest nearby? ]

Lu Xinlan pinched her wrist skillfully and expressionlessly, interrupting her inner voice. Lu Xinran looked at her with confusion and grievance.

Why pinch her again!

You can also pinch it at the same time!

Her wrist must be bruised!

"Sister, I really think there's something fishy about Qingye. Why don't you talk to Lord Tang and ask him to interrogate her? If she refuses to tell the truth, torture her! I'm sure he'll be able to dig something out of her."

Tang Quyan, who was not far from them, said: "..."

Is his presence so subtle?

I guess he can hear these words.

He beckoned his men over and said, "Take her away and torture her to interrogate her carefully. Find out the relationship between her and Pei Xiuzhuo."

Qingye was originally still holding on to a little hope, but when he heard him mention his real master, he suddenly became really nervous.

"My lord, I really don't know anything, my lord..."

"Before the banquet today, someone saw you leaving the waterside pavilion. Where did you go?"

Lu Xinlan pressed the back of Lu Xinran's hand, signaling her not to be anxious.

Although she didn't hear more details from her inner voice, she still deduced when Zhou Zhengya would choose to send a message to Pei Xiuzhuo.

Qingye was flustered and his body was stiff for a moment.

"My servant, I did not leave the waterside pavilion."

"You're lying!" Hongmei suddenly stood up and said, "Sir, I don't know what the young lady said to her before we sat down to the table. She left for a quarter of an hour before coming back."

Qingye was still thinking of some excuses, but Hongmei started crying again, "Sir, she is not a second-class maid. The young lady promoted her to a first-class maid at the beginning of the year. In order to promote her to a first-class maid, she also..."

She couldn't finish the rest of the sentence, but her inner voice had already given everyone the answer.

[The first-class maid who was replaced was beaten to death. ]

[The master and servant designed a plan for her to commit adultery with a servant in the mansion. When Fang Suxin found out, she pressed her down on a stool and beat her to death in front of all the servants in the Zhou mansion.]

There was a sound of gasping. Lu Xinran glanced at it in confusion, then continued to flip through the booklet.

[After the maid was beaten to death, Qingye became a first-class maid. It was just not officially announced, but she received the first-class maid's share. ]

[And after she became a first-class maid, Hongmei was marginalized like a second-class maid. She couldn't get involved in the affairs of the house. She really knew nothing.]

Everyone listened to this series of voices, looked at Qingye lying on the ground, then looked at the servants beside them, and felt a chill down their spines, thinking there was something wrong with everyone they looked at.

"Drag him away, torture him, and interrogate him carefully. Just don't beat him to death."

Song Junyan gave the order with a cold face, and the guards came forward to drag the man away. Qingye was so scared that he wet his pants.

"I'll confess. I'll confess everything. Please don't torture me. Please don't torture me."

She was so panicked that she didn't care about anything else. She confessed everything, including how she listened to Zhou Zhengya's instructions, sent a message to Pei Xiuzhuo before the banquet started, and received a note from the other party's servant during the banquet, leading Zhou Zhengya to leave the water pavilion.

"My lord, the girl left alone. She didn't let me follow her. I really don't know what happened after she left."

She didn't dare to tell the truth just now because she was afraid that Zhou Zhengya's death would implicate her.

"Who was the person who sent the note? Was it the eunuch Chen that Hongmei mentioned?"

"This," Qingye hesitated, and seeing the guards walking towards her again, she quickly confessed: "Yes, it was the servant next to Mr. Pei San, who changed into the palace clothes."
