Distressed wife

Chapter 336 Death is a Relief (1)
"Just passing by a courtyard, I saw a girl wearing one on her hand, it looked very similar to the one worn by Yiyi's younger sister's birthday banquet." Mu Ziyan looked at Mrs. Hou and said.

"Which yard?" Madam Hou also thought about it carefully.

"It seems to be Yan Lan." Mu Ziyan opened her lips lightly.

"Yan Lan?" Mrs. Hou paused obviously, as if thinking of something, she raised her eyes to look at Master Hou.

Master Hou looked a little unnatural, "Call that girl here."

"Hmph." Madam Hou snorted coldly, and looked up at Mu Ziyan, "That little... girl is Aunt Chen's personal girl."

Mrs. Hou almost slipped her tongue and blurted out a "little hoof", but now she is in the main hall, and her majestic Mrs. Hou can't say such words that are demeaning.

When looking at Mu Ziyan, she coughed a few times, "However, why does she have that bracelet? In this Hou Mansion, except for Yiyi, no one else can wear amber bracelets."

"This is what makes me feel strange." Mu Ziyan was aware of Mrs. Hou's partiality for Hou Yiyi, which was comparable to Qi's doting on her. Because of Hou Yiyi's obsession with amber and jade, she made the whole Except for Hou Yiyi, no one else in the Zuohou Mansion is allowed to wear amber beads, hairpins, or bracelets.

"Wait a minute, I have ordered someone to call her over." When Madam Hou spoke, she still did not forget to raise her eyes to take a deep look at Master Hou.

Master Hou was immediately embarrassed by the sight, and said awkwardly, "Miss Mu, what does this have to do with Yiyi's case?"

"Things that seem to be irrelevant on the surface, if they are connected together, they will become the key to death." Mu Ziyan looked at Master Hou and replied softly.

Zhang Zong responded agreeingly, "Yan'er is right."

After a while, I saw a delicate and pretty girl walking in with her head down. The material she was wearing was more fashionable than other girls in the Hou Mansion. She knelt on the ground respectfully, "I have seen Lord Hou, Madam .”

"Where's the bracelet on your hand?" Mrs. Hou glanced at her wrist and asked in a deep voice.

"The maidservant is not wearing bracelets." Yan Lan replied calmly.

"Nonsense, I saw that you were wearing an amber bracelet just now." Madam Hou saw that the girl opened her eyes and said nonsense, and there was already resentment in her heart, so she erupted a little at this moment, and slapped the girl on the ground. On the other desks, he sternly shouted.

Yan Lan was so frightened that she trembled, she looked at Master Hou timidly, she looked so pitiful, Mu Ziyan sighed faintly, what is gentleness, that's what she said, compared to Madam Hou The toughness of this Yanlan can even arouse a man's desire for protection even more because of her weakness.

When Master Hou saw that weak appearance, his heart softened a little, "Ma'am... Maybe you misread it."

"Me?" Mrs. Hou snorted coldly, "Master, I remember that the material on this girl was reserved for Aunt Chen, why should it be on her?"

Master Hou secretly cried out that it is not good, this is going to turn over the old account, he quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Aunt Chen didn't like it, so I gave it to her?"

"Master, if that's the case, I'll ask Aunt Chen to come and ask." Mrs. Hou looked at Master Hou coldly.

Zhang Zong pretended not to hear, and just stared at his boots with his eyes closed.

However, Mu Ziyan looked at Yan Lan who was kneeling on the ground, and seeing her propped her hands on the ground, she seemed to be trying her best to cover up something.

"Yan Lan, what were you doing on the night when Missy's incident happened?" Mu Ziyan asked lightly.

Her words successfully brought back the thoughts of Master Hou and Mrs. Hou, and both of them set their eyes on Yan Lan.

Yan Lan said in a low voice, "The servant girl has been serving Aunt Chen and hasn't gone anywhere."

"Oh." Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, "But someone saw you go to the eldest lady's yard."

"I don't have any slaves." Yan Lan quickly denied, her expression a little flustered.

"Really?" Mu Ziyan said with a low smile, "Lian'er recruits everything."

"Her?" Yan Lan looked flustered, and looked up at Mu Ziyan, "I really don't know anything."

"Bring Lian'er." Mu Ziyan looked directly at Yan Lan, and opened her lips with a half-smile.

When Yan Lan heard this, her eyes moved slightly, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Mu Ziyan said in a low voice, "Voluntary confession and solid evidence, one can be punished lightly, and the other is..."

"Slave and servant call." Yan Lan was so frightened when she heard this, she quickly responded.

Master Hou's eyes sank, staring at Yan Lan with a flash of coldness.

Madam Hou's face was gloomy, she stared at Yan Lan fiercely, "Say."

Yan Lan said in a low voice, "This bracelet is indeed the eldest lady, and it was given by Lian Er to the slave."

"What did she give you the bracelet for?" Mrs. Hou asked in a deep voice.

"One day, the slave... After serving the master, he was returning to his own room. When he passed by the eldest lady's yard, he saw a black shadow. The slave thought it was some undisciplined girl, so he followed it. Unexpectedly When it came to Lian Er, she was walking forward with the eldest lady, and there was a bead in her hand, which kept dangling in front of the eldest lady's eyes, and then the eldest lady followed her forward as if she had lost her soul. " Yan Lan said in a low voice.

"Before the incident?" Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice.

"It was the night before the incident." Yan Lan replied with lowered eyes, "The servant girl was frightened at the time, thinking that the eldest lady had bumped into the evil spirit, so she ran away secretly. Unexpectedly, Lian'er came to look for the servant girl the next day, saying Don't tell others about what happened last night, so I gave this bracelet to the servant."

As Yan Lan said, she held the bracelets in both hands, "Master Hou, madam, this servant really doesn't know anything."

Mrs. Hou certainly wouldn't let Yan Lan go just like that, she said coldly, "Eat the lowly hooves, you can lie to me about such things, why don't you drag her down and beat her to death with sticks."

Yan Lan was so frightened that she quickly kowtowed, "Madam, please forgive me. This servant is already pregnant. She only said that this amber bracelet can protect the fetus, so this servant became greedy. I beg Madam for mercy."

Seeing that Yan Lan was pregnant, Master Hou raised his eyes to Madam Hou, "This girl is still..."

"Hmph, you did a good job, look at the greedy one, but it hurt Yiyi." Mrs. Hou looked at Master Hou, and couldn't help crying.
