All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 92 A clear conscience
Lu Yundi's eyes turned cold. She didn't expect Ye Wanxue to suddenly appear, and her attitude was so firm. She forced a smile and said, "Miss Ye, why are you doing this? I just have some doubts."
Ye Wanxue sneered: "Confused? Madam, you have already made up your mind, right? Otherwise, why would you deliberately lead everyone to misunderstand me?"
Aunt Zhao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally been somewhat suspicious of Ye Wanxue's stealing behavior, but when they saw Ye Wanxue's attitude at this moment, they couldn't help but waver.
Seeing this, Xiang Zhu hurriedly interrupted: "Miss Ye, you still don't admit it? The handwriting on this letter is written by you yourself. Wan Xue glanced at the letter and said lightly: "So what? This letter is just me asking about the situation in the warehouse, and it can't prove that I stole the dowry."
Lu Yundi sneered: "Miss Ye, you are really eloquent. However, you forgot that this letter was found near the warehouse, not in your room."
Ye Wanxue smiled slightly: "Madam, how did this letter appear near the warehouse? Don't you have any idea?"
Lu Yundi's face changed. She didn't expect Ye Wanxue to dare to point out her conspiracy so directly. She was about to refute, but she heard Jiang Yinyi said: "Mother, aren't you going too far? Aunt Ye has been obedient since she entered the mansion. Why do you treat her like this?"
Jiang Yinyi's voice was firm and cold, which stunned everyone present. They didn't expect that Jiang Yinyi, who had always been gentle and polite, would be so outspoken for Ye Wanxue.
Lu Yundi looked unhappy. She stared at Jiang Yinyi and said, "Yinyi, are you helping an outsider to accuse your mother?"
Jiang Yinyi sneered: "Mother, Aunt Ye has been a member of the mansion for a long time. She is not an outsider. Moreover, I believe she would not do such a thing as stealing the dowry."
Lu Yundi was furious: "You...are you questioning your mother's management ability?"
Jiang Yinyi smiled slightly: "Mother, I just hope that you can treat everyone fairly and not hurt innocent people because of some unfounded charges."
Lu Yundi was choked by Jiang Yinyi's words and was speechless. She stared at Ye Wanxue and Jiang Yinyi in frustration. At this time, Xiang Zhu quietly pulled her sleeve, signaling her to calm down.
Xiang Zhu whispered, "Madam, the situation is not favorable to us now. Why don't we take a step back and wait until we find the real culprit before making any plans."
"What a true love."
Aunt Zhao spat at Ye Wanxue, "Since you like our Marquis so much, why don't you just be my sister? Why are you pretending to be so noble?"
As soon as Aunt Zhao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Ye Wanxue frowned slightly. She knew Aunt Zhao's sharp words very well, but she didn't expect her to attack at this time.
Ye Wanxue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Aunt Zhao, I don't want to compete with you for anything. I just hope to live a quiet life in this mansion. The relationship between me and the Marquis cannot be interfered with by others."
Aunt Zhao was not willing to be outdone and continued to taunt: "An An Jing Jing? I'm afraid your heart has long been restless, right? Otherwise, why would you leave such a letter near the warehouse?"
Jiang Yinyi's face also turned ugly. He stood up and said sternly, "Aunt Zhao, you are going too far. Aunt Ye is not the kind of person you think."
Aunt Zhao sneered, "Jiang Yinyi, you have really been bewitched by this vixen. Look at her, she appears to be gentle and virtuous on the surface, but she is full of tricks behind the scenes."
Seeing this, Lu Yundi was secretly delighted. She smiled and said, "What Aunt Zhao said makes sense. After all, people's hearts are hidden, and none of us can guess what others are thinking."
Ye Wanxue's face became paler and paler, and she felt weak.
The collaboration between Lu Yundi and Aunt Zhao left her isolated and helpless in this mansion.
Aunt Zhao's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Ye Wanxue's eyes flashed with hurt, but she still held back her tears and tried to keep her voice calm: "Madam, Aunt Zhao, I know what you think, but justice is in the hearts of the people, and time will prove everything."
Aunt Zhao was relentless and continued to attack: "Time? I'm afraid that by the time you've emptied the family's wealth, time won't be able to save you."
Jiang Yinyi's face turned pale, he clenched his fists tightly, and was about to refute, but was gently pulled back by Ye Wanxue. Ye Wanxue gently shook her head, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Xiang Zhu was secretly delighted when she saw this. She deliberately sighed and said, "Alas, there is really no peace in the mansion. Madam, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Zhu'er, don't worry, I have my own ideas. Ye Wanxue, since you are so noble, then let you enjoy yourself in this mansion."
Ye Wanxue's face became paler, but she still stood up straight and looked at Lu Yundi firmly: "Madam, I am not afraid of your threats. As long as I have a clear conscience, no rumors or tricks can hurt me."
Aunt Zhao heard what Ye Wanxue said and slammed the table angrily: "You are still quibbling here! Do you think your nobleness can cover up your crimes?"
Ye Wanxue bit her lip tightly, a trace of sadness flashed across her face, but she still responded firmly: "Aunt Zhao, if I really did something wrong, I will naturally admit it. But I have a clear conscience and will never be shaken by your false accusations."
Jiang Yinyi couldn't help but stand up and glared at Aunt Zhao: "Aunt Zhao, you are so aggressive, do you have some unspeakable secret in your heart? Why are you so harsh to Aunt Ye?"
Aunt Zhao's face changed, and she was furious: "Jiang Yinyi, are you questioning me? I am doing this for your own good, for the good of the entire Marquisate!"
Seeing this, Lu Yundi knew that the heat had come. She coughed lightly and interrupted the quarrel between the two: "Okay, stop talking. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly. We can't convict based on one side's testimony."
Xiang Zhu smiled slightly, secretly rejoicing that her plan seemed to be developing in the intended direction.
..........
Lu Yundi watched the opera with the old lady for a while, then left on the pretext of something. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Hongying kneeling at the door.
Lu Yundi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sighed inwardly. She had long been accustomed to the fighting and calculations in the mansion. She walked steadily into the courtyard, her eyes calmly falling on Hongying who was kneeling on the ground. Hongying lowered her head, her body trembling, and it was obvious that she had been kneeling for a long time.
"Hongying, what are you doing?" Lu Yundi's tone was calm, but with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
Hongying raised her head, tears in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall: "Madam, it's all my fault. I made the Marquis angry last time. I am willing to apologize here until the Marquis forgives me."
Lu Yundi frowned slightly. Hongying was a smart woman, but she didn't expect her to fall into her emotions so easily. She sighed softly, walked to Hongying and patted her shoulder gently.
