She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

These "coincidences" are obvious to anyone with a brain, but since the master was not around and the mistress held absolute power, even if they saw through them, no one dared to say anything.

Now that the girl is gone, and Yunmi is gone too, the servants in Chaohua Residence will probably be silenced or sold off soon.

Since that's the case, she and her wet nurse might as well take a gamble and tell her everything. Perhaps, out of consideration for the fact that the girl is his only daughter, the master will give her justice!

This can be considered a fulfillment of their master-servant relationship!

Everyone present was used to scheming.

Behind all these "coincidences," what exactly is hidden? Everyone knows perfectly well what's going on.

All eyes were on Madam Jiang's face, filled with scrutiny, suspicion, and disdain...

"No...that's not how it is!" What is the truth?

Madam Jiang knew the truth in her heart, but she dared not face the past. She vehemently denied it, kneeling before Madam Liu and crying like a wronged child, "Mother! Mother, please believe me! I have been trying my best to make amends all these years. I did not harm her! It was a misunderstanding, not my intention!"

Madam Liu looked at her, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Her mother's sigh made Madam Jiang dizzy: "Mother!"

The wet nurse took a deep breath, her breath trembling: "Madam said it wasn't her intention, but when you deliberately misinterpreted her, slandered her, and drove her to hysteria, then turned around and said she disrespected her elders and was a madwoman, every step you took was perfectly calculated, wasn't it?"

"If you and the others do not believe me, you can arrest Madam's trusted confidants and interrogate them under torture. They will eventually tell the truth. But if you think that your daughter is already dead and there is no need to seek justice for her, then I have nothing more to say."

That's all.

She and Jinyu kowtowed three times respectfully.

Each one collided with the ground, as if beating a grievance drum for the young master!

"I cannot tell you, Master. I have said so much today, I am prepared to die. Kill me or torture me, Master, just give the order!"

Jiang Huai's hands nearly crushed the armrest of the chair: "Seize all the maids and servants in the south courtyard and make sure they find out everything they know!"

The head steward accepted the order and hurriedly led his men toward the south courtyard.

Madam Jiang hurriedly shifted her knees, turning to her husband, her voice rising in despair: "Master!"

Jiang Huai ignored her sorrow and trembling, turning to look at Chu Jin: "Over the years, you've spent the most time with your aunt, and your eyes have seen the most clearly. Do you have anything to say?"

Chu Jin's face turned pale, and her mind went blank and numb.

After reconciling with Ningning, she learned about many of Ningning's grievances and injustices that she had never known or ignored before. She also learned about the mistakes her aunt had made and how her aunt had "atoneed." Naturally, she understood that every time Ningning had a hysterical outburst, it was because her aunt had deliberately provoked her.

When these things were laid bare and put to trial one by one, the impact was far stronger than she had imagined. She couldn't imagine how much pain Ningning, as a daughter who deeply loved her mother, felt when she realized all of this!

So when she became the beneficiary and was accused of stealing her cousin's life and being one of the murderers involved in her cousin's murder, she accepted it willingly.

But Aunt...

Chu Jin's feelings for her were complicated.

It is true that her aunt provided her with shelter after she became an orphan, allowing her to live well all these years. However, it is also true that her aunt coldly watched her and Ningning have many conflicts, and even wanted to use her to get rid of Ningning.

A chill ran through her, and she stood up, taking a few heavy steps forward before kneeling in the center of the hall. Her voice was hoarse as she said, "I was wrong. I should have tried to persuade my aunt and stop her..."

Madam Jiang crawled to her side and hugged her tightly: "No! You did nothing wrong! None of this has anything to do with you!"

Chu Jin looked at her and calmly asked, "Aunt, Ningning is dead. Are you relieved? Can you truly feel at peace and erase the sins you committed?"

Madam Jiang was stunned: "You... what do you know?"

Chu Jin said, word by word, "I know, I know everything. Ningning told me."

The last trace of color drained from Madam Jiang's face.

Chu Jin questioned her, "Aunt, when you were young, you were always very sad and disappointed because of your maternal grandparents' slight favoritism. But tell me, how would Ningning feel if she guessed that her beloved biological mother would have to atone for her sins with her own life?"

What kind of feeling?

What could a child feel besides being ridiculous and desperate when they clearly realize that their mother is going to torture and kill them?

Madam Jiang's breath caught in her throat for a moment, her mind buzzing. The sharp clamor was like a storm about to hit the deep mountains, wildly sweeping up the withered branches and leaves, rushing and howling.

She became one of the withered leaves, with no room to struggle or escape. She was slammed against the tree trunk, rolled up again after hitting the ground, leaving her only with shock, pain, and a huge dizziness that made her want to vomit.

His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

She didn't faint.

His eyes were wide open, and it was unclear what he was looking at or thinking.

I don't know how much time passed.

The butler then returned with a thick stack of statements.

It was distributed to everyone and passed around among them.

What he confessed was not much different from what the wet nurse, Jinyu, and the others had said.

A younger member of the family sitting in the back murmured, "Poor Ningning, she was even willing to kneel and kowtow three times and kowtow nine times to beg for a protective talisman for her aunt, and in the end, she lost her life for her aunt! I really feel sorry for her!"

Madam Liu swept her cold gaze over them.

The younger person lowered their head, but their expression clearly showed that they did not think they had said anything wrong.

Madam Liu took a stand and reprimanded her daughter: "You've gone mad! You've really gone mad! Ningning is your daughter, how can you, as her mother, be so derelict in your duty, allowing the servants to scheme against and bully her like that!"

Madam Jiang was helped up and placed in a chair, looking dazed and confused.

Hearing her mother's scolding, she hugged her head tightly, trying to block out all sounds from the outside world!

Jiang Huai's angry voice rang out before Madam Liu could plead for mercy: "Even a child can guess why she did that. Does Mother-in-law really not know why your daughter is abusing my daughter?"

"My daughter is dead. She suffered endless bullying and was murdered while I was praying for her! My mother-in-law has three daughters, and she tried her best to protect her even when one of them made a mistake. I only have one daughter, and she was murdered. How can I let others just brush it off with a simple 'dereliction of duty'!"

my daughter.

Your daughter.

Bystanders.

The degree of intimacy or distance is all conveyed in the words themselves.

Madam Liu swayed, her eyes welling up with tears: "Over the years, she's doted on Jin'er and been harsh on Ningning. I just thought she was afraid people would say she wasn't treating her sister's orphan well enough..."

Who would have thought that a mother who dotes on her daughter would change? Would she harbor such sinister and malicious thoughts towards her own daughter?

She didn't say anything more.

As long as no one admits it, there is still room for reconciliation. After all, the second daughter never gave any instructions in person, so the Jiang family cannot divorce her based on mere "speculation"!

"Huai-ge'er, you have to think about Xiao'er's future! He's already lost his sister, do you want him to lose his mother too?"
