"That's not true." Xin Nian replied with a smile: "It's just that when I came in just now, grandma said I was late. How should I be punished? In fact, it's nothing to punish me. The worst thing I can do is drink a few more drinks at the next family dinner. But there is one thing

This is a big matter that really cannot be tolerated. I have been thinking about it for the past two days and finally made up my mind to come over and report it to my ancestors, the concubine and grandma."

Concubine Liao and Mrs. Liao raised their eyebrows, but the old concubine remained calm and asked with a smile: "I feel a little serious after hearing what you said. What's the matter? I rarely go out in the past two years. In this Shouning Palace

It's like a decoration here. I rarely ask about anyone or anything in the house. It's rare that you talk about it in front of me today, so I can't listen to it carefully."

The faces of the concubine and Mrs. Liao were a little ugly. Xin Nian was convinced that his judgment was correct, and his ancestors supported her in making the matter bigger.

Then he muttered: "If we go back to our ancestors, it was about Liu Zai and Yaya falling into the water this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Mrs. Liao say in surprise: "What about Liu Zai and Yaya falling into the water? Didn't they slip and fall? What? From what my sister meant, could it be that someone was deliberately plotting to kill them? Sure enough, then, then

We must investigate thoroughly and we must not leave such a scourge in the house."

The meaning is very clear: Unless you have evidence to prove that the two children were assassinated, don't use this as an excuse to eliminate dissidents.

Xin Nian glanced at Mr. Liao and said calmly: "I can't say whether there was a conspiracy to kill her. I saw the kite and it was really bright and beautiful. After asking around, no one in the house has seen it before, so I can't think of it either.

How could I not pick up such a good kite when it fell into the water? If it were me, I would never be willing to throw it away. But this is all speculation, and I can't provide evidence anyway, but... Grandma, don't worry, just listen to me.

"

She waved her hand to stop Ms. Liao who was about to speak, and said solemnly: "On the day Liu Zai Yaya fell into the water, Aunt Gu went to the lake to check and picked up two lake stones. They were covered with moss and were extremely slippery. Liu Zai and Liu Zai

Yaya probably fell into the water because she stepped on a mossy lake rock. After that, no one answered her calls for help. If the spring rain had not returned in time, they would have frozen to death even if they climbed ashore."

Having said this, he stared at Mr. Liao and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of Chunyu, she was deceived. The girl who deceived her has not been found yet. The princess also said that she had never been to the garden that day.

"

The corner of Liao's mouth twitched twice, and she said angrily: "What do you think I'm doing? Do you suspect that that girl was instigated by me? Haha! In that case, I asked you to search my yard, including this house. I also want to find this

As for the girl, if you find her, everything will come to light, and you won’t be suspicious of me, leaving me with nowhere to complain.”

"Grandma's words are serious, how can I dare to doubt you? I just suddenly remembered that grandma is in charge of everything in the palace. How can this girl come in and out of the palace at will? I don't know where she came from? Not only grandma was also deceived by her, and she looked away.

.”

"I've never seen a girl like this."

Ms. Liao gritted her teeth. Xin Nian nodded and said, "Yes, I can't find it anywhere, and there's nothing I can do about it. But this girl can't be found. There are other responsible people already there, so we can't just tolerate her."

"What on earth do you want to say?"

Concubine Liao's face was calm as she picked up a grape and put it into her mouth. She heard Xin Nian say in a deep voice, word for word: "The reason Liu Zai and Yaya fell into the water was ultimately due to the negligence of the twenty-four cleaning servants in the garden. I

I mean, we should expel them all from the house and let them serve as manpower in Zhuangzi. Only in this way can we intimidate those who come after us to do their duty and work with sincerity."

Concubine Liao had always been calm, but at this moment she was shocked by Xin Nian's overbearing aura, and almost dropped the grapes in her hand. Mrs. Liao over there screamed: "No, I don't agree," before she could speak.

How could anyone be so implicated? What’s a big crime if you can’t hear the cry for help in such a big garden? Why should you be expelled from the house and sent to Zhuangzi? Sister Xin, you are too cruel, I don’t agree.”

"Am I cruel?"

Xin Nian stood up suddenly, stared at Liao with a pair of burning eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Zai and Yaya almost lost their lives. I was already kind before killing anyone, how could I become vicious instead? Comparing hearts to hearts.

, if the eldest young master, fourth young master and eldest daughter also fall into the water today and no one is there to save them, what will happen to grandma? Can you be tolerant and generous and allow those slaves to continue?

Do you want to continue working in the garden?"

"I……"

Liao was at a loss for words: To be fair, if this happened to her, she wouldn't give up until she killed two old guys. The rest of them wouldn't even want to go to Zhuangzi, they would just find someone to sell them off at a low price, no matter what they do in the future.

Death is life.

But this happened to Xin Nian, so that's a different story. Liao calmed down and snorted: "Sister Xin, don't take it out on me. You're so good, why are you cursing my child? You're implicating people like this.

, This is not right at all. Our Prince Duanqin’s Palace has always been famous in the capital for its honest and benevolent family tradition. If you do this, won’t you ruin the reputation of the Palace?”

Xin Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "The reputation of the palace has been ruined? What a big hat. Well, since grandma is so kind, I can't insist too much. After all, this approach is too cruel in grandma's eyes. But I will

Let’s start with the ugly story. The young masters and ladies in the mansion are not very old. This prince’s mansion is such a big place, with rockery pavilions and vast mist. Who knows when he will be like Liu Yaya, and something unexpected happens? What if?

The eldest girl, the eldest young master, and the fourth young master will also have their own ups and downs in the future. Grandma, you must remember what you said today, be forgiving and generous, and be kind. If you act ruthlessly, I will not agree to it."

Liao's body was trembling, she stood up and said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

"Then I don't dare." Xin Nian lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "I am just a concubine, how dare I have such unscrupulous thoughts? I am not like grandma, I am most afraid of the retribution of the underworld.

"

After saying that, he looked at Mr. Liao and said leisurely: "I was just thinking that children are all naughty. If something like this happens to Liu Zai and Yaya, I wonder if other young masters and girls will make the same mistake one day. By then,

Grandma must remember our honest and kind-hearted Prince's family tradition."

Ms. Liao's face turned green and white, and every word of Xin Nian's words was so harsh that she couldn't help but feel scared.
