Su Qingyu couldn't figure out why He was so panicked, so she took this opportunity to investigate.
On the surface, she and He seemed to be on good terms, but in reality, they both knew the grudges between them.
Su Qingyu has always been cautious in this matter. If she finds an opportunity to take action, she will never show mercy.
After a while, Nanny Yuan finally led the group out. According to Zhenzhu's suggestion, some people went to Qingyin Garden and some went to Qixia Garden. If they couldn't find anything, they would go to Aunt Zeng's courtyard together.
As for the masters in the hall, they were still sitting and drinking tea.
Su Qingyu looked around. Everyone else looked normal, except Second Aunt He, who had a frown on her face. She held the armrest of the chair with one hand, and because of the force, the veins on the back of her hand were clearly visible.
Su Qingyu became more and more certain that Qixiayuan must have some shameful secret.
She glanced at her second uncle Su Chengyan again, who was talking to her brother Su Yuanzhou, with smiles on his face.
Obviously, my second uncle was not aware of this matter.
After a while, Feicui quietly walked in. She whispered beside Su Qingyu, "I went to Qingyin Garden, but I didn't find the pearl headdress that Aunt Zeng mentioned. I even searched Jinsong's room carefully."
Su Qingyu nodded, just as she expected.
But she no longer cared where the headdress was. She wanted to know what secrets Second Aunt had.
Su Qingyu glanced at He again, her green fingers subconsciously tapping the nanmu square table beside her, calmly waiting for news from Qixiayuan.
To others, it was just a matter of two cups of tea, but to He, it felt like a year.
Jinsong, the maid who was suspected of stealing, looked more relaxed than He.
The first to come back was the old lady's maid Han Cui. She bowed and reported, "Old lady, Lord Marquis, I have brought people to search Qingyin Garden, but have not found Aunt Zeng's pearl headdress."
"We also checked Miss Jinsong's room, and there was indeed nothing there."
Second Madam He looked outside subconsciously. The people who searched Qixia Garden had not returned yet. She had placed the thing in a hidden place, so it might not be discovered.
Su Qingyu asked He seriously, "Second Aunt, why do you look so absent-minded? Is there something on your mind?"
He quickly picked up the teacup on the side and said, "It's okay. What can happen to me?"
She lowered her head and drank her tea in a panic, trying to hide the anxious emotion on her face.
Before he could even swallow a sip of tea, he saw Nanny Yuan and several maids and servants entering the yard.
The people who came into the hall to answer the question were Nanny Yuan and Zhenzhu. Zhenzhu was holding a mahogany square tray with a box on it.
He's horrified eyes fell on the box, and the teacup in her hand slipped out of her hand and shattered at her feet.
The tea splashed everywhere, and two pieces of tea leaves were stained on He's skirt.
Su Qingyu looked at He with a half-smile, "What's wrong with you, Second Aunt? Why are you so careless?"
He laughed awkwardly, "My hand slipped."
A little maid came in, picked up the debris on the ground, and left.
When the old lady saw Zhenzhu standing behind Nanny Yuan, holding a box, she thought she had found the Zhenzhu head ornament.
Then he asked, "Did you find the headgear in Qixia Garden?"
Madam Yuan looked unhappy and bowed, "In reply to the old lady, I did find something in Qixia Garden, but it was not Madam Zeng's headgear."
Su Qingyu looked at Zhenzhu in confusion, but Zhenzhu didn't look at her. The little girl was staring at He angrily, wishing she could tear him apart.
Nanny Yuan motioned Zhenzhu to hand the item to the old lady, and explained to everyone, "We found this box in the main room where the second lady of Qixia Garden lives."
"There's a doll inside, and on it is... the name and date of birth of the young lady, with a needle inserted into it."
Madam Yuan thought to herself that the second husband was also a fool. How could such ghost stories be believed? The one who found this thing today was the young lady's maid. They couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. Today's incident was a complete commotion.
As Nanny Yuan finished her words, everyone in the room was shocked. How could such a sorcery appear in the inner house of the Su family?
Su Yuanzhou was the first to stand up. He walked to the old lady, picked up the doll and looked at it.
The name, eight characters, and the silver needle stuck on it made Su Yuanzhou feel angry.
A murderous intent flashed across his sinister eyes.
He turned around and looked at He, "Second Aunt has such a vicious mind, what are you trying to do? Do you want to kill my sister?"
Regardless of whether He's method is useful or not, it is obvious that she wants to kill Su Qingyu.
Su Chengyan, who had been ignoring these things, looked at He in surprise. He knew that He blamed Su Qingyu in her heart, but he could never have imagined that she would do such a thing.
In Su Chengyan's view, even if a family has disputes, they are still a family.
He competed for favor and took advantage of others, and even did some despicable things to achieve his goals. But he never thought of killing anyone.
Su Chengyan subconsciously looked at Su Yuanzhou again, and his heart sank when he saw the murderous intent in his eyes.
He walked quickly forward, stood in front of He, raised his hand and slapped him.
This slap was delivered with great force. Before He could react, he felt a buzzing sound in his ears and then fell to the ground.
Su Chengyan slapped He because he was angry at how dare He do such a thing. He also wanted to calm Su Yuanzhou down, fearing that Su Yuanzhou would really want to kill him.
After all, they were married and had a little daughter. Although Su Chengyan was angry, he also hoped that the big thing would be resolved.
After the slap, Su Chengyan angrily shouted, "Have you lost your mind?"
Even if he went insane, it was better than deliberately murdering his niece.
Su Qingyu also walked closer at this moment and glanced at the puppet on the table.
She knew that Second Aunt blamed her for Su Yuanqing's death.
It seems that Second Aunt has no way to take revenge, so she came up with such a bad idea.
It would be better to just rush up and stab her. She still admired her determination to avenge Su Yuanqing.
At this moment, everyone else in the room also reacted, and Hai said indignantly: "Second sister-in-law, how could you do this?"
The old lady, Su Chengye, and Su Chengxun also followed suit and questioned He.
Seeing that Aunt Zeng was still sitting there trembling with fear, Su Chengye waved his hand to signal her to go out. He no longer cared about finding a headgear for her.
Aunt Zeng was as if she had been pardoned and quickly left the hall.
Shen Yue, who was beside Su Yuanzhou, was so angry that her cheeks puffed up. After thinking for a while, she walked to Chuntao and whispered, "Go back and ask Third Uncle to come over."
Shen Yue has her own little thoughts. The Shen family will not let anyone who wants to harm Third Aunt off easily. But this person is the second wife of the Su family after all. What if the Su family says Third Aunt is fine and simply gives her a light punishment?
So Shen Yue took the initiative and decided to call her third uncle over.
Su Yuanzhou certainly heard what Shen Yue said, but he did not say anything to stop her. He thought it was good that the teacher came, so today was a good time to solve this matter once and for all.
Afterwards, Su Chengyan lifted He from behind the chair, carried her to the middle of the hall, and threw her to the ground with force.
"Why don't you confess your crime quickly? Mother is merciful, and Qingyu is also kind-hearted. Perhaps she will spare your life."
Su Qingyu had already sat down again. Hearing this, she suddenly smiled and said, "Second uncle, don't accuse me. I am not a kind person."
Why should she be kind when others are hurting her? Do kind people deserve to be bullied?
Su Chengyan was choked and cursed He in his heart for picking on this girl when there were so many people she could pick on.
He was thrown to the ground, and her knees hit the blue bricks on the ground. The excruciating pain also made He regain his sanity.
