After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 426 Gratitude
"The murderer has confessed, so why don't you admit it?" Yu Linlang glanced at Aunt Xiao and spoke rudely.

"You hired him to Jinghong Pavilion. He knocked out the maid while delivering food, poisoned her and personally delivered it to Mr. Zhou. He has signed the confession form. What else can you say?"

"He's called the Poison Spider in Jianghu. He can disguise himself. He was found by your big brother in Jianghu. He's quite good at using poison. If I had been a step later, Mr. Zhou would have been dead."

"As for the deposit of 500 taels that you paid to the poisonous spider, search that person for it as well."

Zheng Guang was quite surprised, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at Aunt Xiao who was slumped on the ground, "Is what the master said true?"

He just couldn't connect the gentle woman in front of him with the vicious and cruel man in the world.

No way!
"Wan Niang, tell the adults that all this is fake." What poisonous spider, what poison? Why did Zheng Guang feel like he didn't understand?

As a serious court official, the disputes in the martial arts world were too far away from him. He usually only read about things like swords, sabers, and poisoning in storybooks.

Aunt Xiao's stunned expression made him feel inexplicably panicked.

Seeing her sitting on the ground in a daze, Zheng Guang quickly bowed to Yu Linlang and apologized, "Master Yuhu, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here?

Yu Linlang glanced at him and said, "Maybe. That's why we have to take him back and confront him face to face. We can't rely on his one-sided statement to find out whether she hired him or not. We will continue to investigate."

"Don't worry, Master Zheng. We will never pin anything on her if she hasn't done it."

"No!" Zheng Manyin walked forward with an ugly look, raised her hand to block Aunt Xiao, "My mother is a woman in the inner house, what does she know? How can she know about poisonous spiders in the world?"

"Sir, you also said that we can't convict my mother based on the words of one family alone. Since we can't be sure for the time being, how can we bring my mother back to the government office and ruin her reputation?"

Aunt Xiao covered her face and cried bitterly.

Yu Linlang glanced at Zheng Manyin and said, "Miss Zheng, no matter how eloquent you are, it's useless. Now that someone has clearly accused Aunt Xiao of hiring someone to kill someone, according to the laws of Da Qi, the government has the right to bring the suspect back to the government office for questioning."

After that, Yu Linlang was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with them, and waved her hand, "Take her away! Take the maids and servants around Aunt Xiao to the government office for questioning one by one."

The guards of the government office came forward. Aunt Xiao struggled violently and resisted, "Don't touch me, don't touch me with your dirty hands. Master, Master, save me, Master!"

"Lord Yuhu, please don't go too far!" Zheng Guang was so angry that his face turned blue.

Who would be so rude to his colleagues?
Normally, wouldn't it be enough to just ask about the situation in the mansion? Why make a big deal out of a small matter and take him to the yamen for further questioning?

Yu Linlang was a little impatient, staring at Zheng Guang with a frown, "Sir Zheng, are you... going to insist on having your own way and stop me from handling the case?"

"That's not what Zheng meant."

"If you don't mean that, get out of the way now. Don't waste your time and energy on this. Whether it's true or not, the government will give you a clear answer after the investigation."

Yu Linlang raised her hand and shouted, "Take him away! Anyone who dares to obstruct the investigation will be locked up and taken back!"

Zheng Guang stood aside with a dark face, and dared not step forward to stop Yu Linlang and the others.

In the end, they could only watch as the Jingzhao Prefecture officials took away the crying aunt, along with some servants and maids. Nian Xiuyun felt very happy and patted his daughter's hand, "Let's go too."

"Stop." Old Madam Zheng yelled, not caring about her dignity anymore. She was just angry and resentful. She stared at Nian Xiuyun and said angrily, "You can leave if you want, but the eldest girl must stay. She is my Zheng family's child. Why should I let you take her away?"

The old lady waved her hand, and immediately more than a dozen servants surrounded her and stopped Zheng Manting from leaving.

"Hey, old woman. Are you looking for a fight?" Mrs. Su laughed when she saw the old woman like that.

"Little Seven and Little Eight, whoever dares to make a move will be beaten out by me. I will take care of everything if anything happens!"

"Yes, ma'am." Qi Qian Ba ​​Liang nodded heavily.

"Madam Su, please don't go too far." Old Madam Zheng was so angry that she put her hand on her chest. "This is my family affair. No one else can interfere."

"What kind of family affair is that? We're divorced, how can you forget so much? You just forgot something that happened a short while ago? We're no longer a family after the divorce, so what's there to talk about?"

"What are you all standing there for? You all have the dowry list in your hands, so move the things together according to the list to save trouble later."

Madam Su raised her hand and waved, and the maids and servants she brought with her immediately took the list and went to search the yard for things. They were all nimble and quick in their movements, and it was obvious that they all had some martial arts skills and were not ordinary maids and servants.

"You, you!" Zheng Guang was stunned. It was unbelievable. He couldn't believe that they were so impatient to act on their own?

Whose house is this? Ahhhh!
The guests also opened their mouths, having never seen such a splitting-up scene. Some were whispering to each other, some couldn't help but giggle. There was something very similar about them, and they all looked at Lord Zheng with teasing eyes.

Madam Zheng was overwhelmed and fainted. Seeing this, Madam Lu kindly called out, "Hey, come quickly, your old lady has fainted from heartache. Hurry up and carry her back to the inner room to rest. Don't watch the division of the family move things, or you will be heartbroken."

After hearing this, everyone present twitched their lips.

Zheng Manyin glared at her elder sister with hatred, and squeezed out a line of words from between her teeth, "Zheng Manting, your last name is Zheng, and you just let your mother do this nonsense?"

Zheng Manting glanced at her and said calmly, "You should take care of your murderer aunt first. If she is convicted of the crime of hiring a killer, Zheng Manyin, do you think you still have a future?"

"I am leaving your Zheng family now, which just happens to allow me to draw a clear line between myself and the murderer's mansion. What about you? You are not so lucky."

"You!" Zheng Manyin wanted to reach out and scratch her smiling face, but was grabbed and pulled down by the two girls beside her.

If the second young lady hits the eldest young lady in public, she will have no chance of survival.

It only took about an hour or so to carry away everything that needed to be moved.

Zhou Lanting then took his younger brother and stepped forward to pay his respects to Master Zheng. "Master Zheng, thank you for your kindness in hosting me during this period of time. I will take my leave now."

Zheng Guang seemed to have all the strength drained out of him. He just stared blankly at Nian Xiuyun's back as he walked away, unable to utter a word.

After Nian Xiuyun took his daughter out of the Zheng Mansion gate, he took a deep breath and looked at Madam Su and the others with red eyes, "Xiaoqin, Arong, it's really thanks to you this time."
