From the contact during these days, Gu Qinlan could sense that Xiao Wenyin was full of deep hostility towards her.
Obviously, Xiao Wenyin had already regarded the position of Princess Duan as her own.
In Xiao Wenyin's eyes, the appearance of Gu Qinlan undoubtedly took away the position she had always dreamed of.
Therefore, she could understand Xiao Wenyin's desire to get rid of her as soon as possible.
However, she could not accept that Xiao Wenyin would actually attack the child she had raised in order to get rid of her!
If she revealed these things herself, Zheng Fenghui and others would only mistakenly believe that she was slandering Xiao Wenyin, so they had to investigate and discover it themselves!
Zheng Fenghui finally came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Wenqin who was pressed to the ground, he gritted his teeth and said firmly:
"Interrogate! We must get to the bottom of this! I will never let Sister Xiao's reputation be damaged in the slightest!"
Seeing this, Gu Qinlan smiled gently, patted Zheng Fenghui on the shoulder, and said softly:
"You are the eldest son of Prince Duan. You will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility of Prince Duan's Mansion in the future. Mother hopes to handle this matter properly. When your father comes back, you will be under my name first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qinlan stood up without hesitation, without looking back, and left with everyone.
Zheng Fenghui looked at Gu Qinlan's back and was shocked.
She actually said that she would shoulder the future of Prince Duan's Mansion?
Could it be that...she intends to let herself inherit the title?
Zheng Fenghui is already eight years old and has his own understanding of many things.
Although their father placed their mother's tablet in the ancestral hall, because they had never formally worshipped heaven and earth, the identities of the three of them had always been quite awkward. They were neither legitimate children nor illegitimate children...
However, Gu Qinlan actually planned to register them under her own name, which meant that she truly acknowledged their legitimate status!
Moreover, he also became the legitimate eldest son of Prince Duan's Mansion!
This new stepmother is young and beautiful. She will surely be favored by her father in the future and may even give birth to her own children...
If she gave him the title of legitimate son and eldest son, then in the future... would he really be willing?
Zheng Fenghui was puzzled, and finally decided not to delve into it. He pursed his lips, turned around and looked at Wenqin. His mood suddenly calmed down, and he asked:
"Are you going to confess, or..."
Wenqin was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground, her body shaking uncontrollably.
She knew very well that whether she confessed voluntarily or not, her hope of survival was very slim.
If she admitted that it was a personal act, Zheng Fenghui would execute her immediately.
If the accusation was instigated by Xiao Wenyin, then she could only wait until Xiao Wenyin and the old princess returned from Rong'en Temple before facing death.
and……
Her younger brother, Xiao Wenyin, is in control.
Wenqin closed her eyes in despair, and suddenly seemed to understand why Xiao Wenyin wanted to keep her.
From the very beginning, Xiao Wenyin had planned to sacrifice her as a chess piece.
If no one cared about Little Snail's death, she might have been able to survive.
But if Little Snail's death aroused suspicion, she would become a scapegoat.
After all, Xiao Wenyin is in Rong'en Temple, so she can completely shirk all responsibilities!
Of course, Xiao Wenyin also firmly believed that Wenqin would not dare and would not expose her!
If she died, her brother might survive...
Thinking of this, Wenqin lay on the ground in despair, crying softly, "Yes, it was done by me alone."
"really?"
"Yes……"
"Then you have no grudge against Feng Yun, why do you want to harm him?"
Zheng Fenghui's mind was extremely clear at this moment. He stared at Wenqin sharply and asked.
"I...I am..." Wenqin was speechless and couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
"Humph, it seems that you won't confess unless I torture you severely! Come, torture me!"
Zheng Fenghui gave an order to his men, with a determined light in his eyes.
Didn’t Gu Qinlan suspect that he was protecting Sister Xiao?
Didn’t Gu Qinlan doubt Sister Xiao’s innocence?
Then he would torture them mercilessly to make it clear to everyone that he would never show partiality!
Let everyone understand too!
All of this was done by Wenqin alone and has nothing to do with Sister Xiao!
When Gu Qinlan returned to her own courtyard, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Miss, are you so confident in letting the eldest master try this case? What if he is partial to you and commits fraud?"
"What does it matter if it's partiality? Can the words of a lowly maid easily pull Xiao Wenyin down from her high position?"
Gu Qinlan leaned lazily on the exquisite chaise longue, allowing Xiang Zhu to lightly take off the gorgeous hairpin on her head. She closed her eyes tiredly, immersed in a moment of tranquility.
Xiang Zhu was a little confused, but when he saw Gu Qinlan's tired expression, he couldn't bear to ask any more questions.
On the contrary, standing aside, holding a sword, Wocan glanced at Xiang Zhu and said with contempt, "Stupid!"
Although her tone was full of dissatisfaction, Wocan still patiently explained to Xiangzhu.
Xiao Wenyin has been working in Prince Duan's Mansion for many years, and everyone in the mansion has complete trust in her. How could they take action against her based on the one-sided words of a maid?
Besides, Princess Duan has long treated Xiao Wenyin as her own daughter, so how could she let go so easily?
Just like this time, even though Xiao Wenyin was under house arrest, she was still able to use sweet words to convince the old princess to take her to Rong'en Temple.
This alone is enough to show how important Xiao Wenyin is in the heart of Princess Lao Duan.
Moreover, even if Wenqin was interrogated, it would probably be difficult to make a breakthrough.
Since Xiao Wenyin dared to instruct Wenqin to act, she must have already prepared means to make her keep silent.
Without solid evidence, it would be impossible to bring Xiao Wenyin down.
After hearing this, Xiang Zhu suddenly realized something and asked with some regret:
"So, all our previous efforts have gone to waste?"
Wocan shook his head slightly and said slowly: "Of course not, trust and betrayal are not things that happen overnight."
"Time and again, gradually sowing the seeds of doubt in the old princess' heart, and when the time is right..."
“One shot and it hits the target!”
Trust is not eternal, and repeated disappointments will eventually wear out a person's emotions.
And what Gu Qinlan was waiting for was exactly such an opportunity.
The next morning, when Gu Qinlan just got up, she saw Wocan and Xiang Zhu walking in with a big bouquet of flowers.
The bouquet was so lush that it almost completely obscured the two of them. Gu Qinlan understood the meaning of it at a glance and couldn't help laughing.
Xiang Zhu heard the laughter, poked his head out from behind the bouquet, and said with some helplessness:
"Miss, are you still in the mood to laugh? Why don't you take care of the Second Young Master? So many flowers were delivered so early in the morning, and we don't have enough vases at home."
The eyebag nodded seriously and added:
"I have observed the back garden of the mansion and found no signs of any flowers being picked. I wonder where the Second Young Master got these flowers from."
