Chapter 332
Chapter 332: Discovered, begging for mercy
When Lin Zhaozhao saw Zhou Yixiu at the door, he panicked and dropped all the clothes in his hands.
"Mother, mother.
Why are you here? Zhao Zhao..."
She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but the bright red bloodstains on her body could not fool Zhou Yixiu at all.
Zhou Yixiu asked her mother to close the door and walked quickly to Lin Zhaozhao.
He grabbed her hand and looked around carefully.
After confirming that the blood was not Lin Zhaozhao's, I felt relieved.
"What's going on? You ran out in a hurry and came back like this.
Yes, who did you attack?"
By now, Lin Zhaozhao knew that he could no longer hide it.
With a plop, he fell to his knees.
"Mother, Zhaozhao really has no choice.
Please, help Zhaozhao!
Zhaozhao didn't want to go to the border, so he went to his grandmother to plead for mercy.
But instead of helping, my grandmother even ridiculed Zhao Zhao for not being as good as Su Jinxiu.
Zhao Zhao was also dizzy and panicked.
Just, I poisoned my grandmother."
Hearing this, Zhou Yixiu's expression changed.
"You said you poisoned your grandmother?"
She said, the old lady was fine, why did she suddenly fall into a coma?
But if it was poisoned, why didn't the palace doctors see any clues when they came to diagnose and treat her?
Before Zhou Yixiu could think about it, Lin Zhaozhao held her hand.
"Mother, Zhaozhao did this because he really had no choice.
But don't worry, Zhaozhao doesn't want to kill him.
After his father returns to the border, Zhaozhao will naturally detoxify his grandmother.
Originally, Zhaozhao just wanted to do this.
But who knew that the old nanny would discover it.
The old grandma didn't give Zhaozhao a chance to explain, and insisted on asking Su Jinxiu for help.
Zhao Zhao was also worried, so he took her life in a panic.
Mother, please help Zhaozhao!"
Seeing Lin Zhaozhao crying sadly, Zhou Yixiu couldn't bear it.
After a long time, he sighed and helped Lin Zhaozhao up.
"Zhaozhao, remember.
Tonight, you have been resting in your room and haven't gone anywhere.
If your father asks, you will insist that you don't know anything.
Mother will cover the rest for you.
But remember, this is the last time..."
Zhaozhao is still young and can still make amends when he makes mistakes.
She is Zhao Zhao's biological mother. If she doesn't help Zhao Zhao, who will help Zhao Zhao?
Lin Zhaozhao finally felt relieved after hearing what Zhou Yixiu said.
She handed the dagger to Zhou Yixiu, and then burned the bloody clothes she changed into.
All traces have been wiped away, and no clues have been revealed.
The news of the old grandma's death reached the Hou Mansion early the next morning.
Lin Yuan heard the news when he came out of Zhang Ru's courtyard just now.
I hurried to the Criminal Department and saw the old grandma's body before confirming the news.
I learned from the people in the Ministry of Punishment that the old woman was suddenly attacked last night.
Because there were so many people on the street, no one saw who made the move.
All I know is that it was the owner of Ruyi Restaurant who reported me as an official.
Lin Yuan knew that the shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant was Su Jinxiu.
But he didn't contact her about this matter, he just felt sad.
Returning to the Marquis Mansion from the Criminal Department, Zhou Yixiu hurriedly came forward to greet him and asked with concern.
"Master Hou, what is going on?
Do I have to call you to the Criminal Department very early in the morning?"
After all this tossing, Lin Yuan was a little tired.
"The nanny who served my mother was murdered. My mother will definitely be sad when she wakes up."
Zhou Yixiu looked as usual and sighed.
"Master Hou, don't be too sad, Zhao Zhao is waiting for your mother.
I will definitely call my mother and be happy."
Lin Yuan raised his eyes and looked, but he didn't see Lin Zhaozhao.
"Where is the Zhaozhao people? I will return to the border in a few days..."
Zhou Yixiu panicked and quickly grabbed the conversation.
"Zhaozhao is taking care of her grandmother! Zhaozhao is a filial child.
After learning that her grandmother was ill, she was sad and shed tears every day.
When she wasn't serving her grandmother, she was copying Buddhist scriptures.
I tried to persuade her to take a rest, but she didn't listen.
Alas, the Marquis has gone to the border and I don’t know when he will come back.
If Zhao Zhao follows her, her grandmother will not be able to see her if she wakes up.
I'm just afraid that it will be even more sad."
Lin Yuan frowned and glanced at Zhou Yixiu.
"For the sake of her filial piety, let's forget it this time.
Let her stay in the capital and serve her grandmother.
If there is a next time, even the Emperor will not be able to save her."
What this meant was that he agreed to let Lin Zhaozhao stay in the capital.
Zhou Yixiu's heart finally settled.
——————————————
Ever since the day she saw her old grandmother's body, Su Jinxiu's heart had been uneasy.
She never thought about the grandmother who was always with her grandmother.
Right under her nose, she was murdered.
Ruyi Restaurant was too busy with business, so she was busy working in the kitchen.
I didn't know what happened before, but I heard the waiter yelling about murder.
After I went out and took a look, I realized that the person who was murdered was the old woman.
She sent someone to report it to the officials and waited until the officials took away the old woman's body before leaving.
The old nanny has always been with my grandmother, and she is very valued by my grandmother.
If something goes wrong now, grandma will definitely get to the bottom of it.
But after waiting for two days, my grandmother didn't come to the door.
This matter is like a stone sinking into the sea, without any sound.
Su Jinxiu felt that something was wrong.
With my grandmother's temperament, it was impossible not to ask questions.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a dog whining and barking in the backyard.
Su Jinxiu came back to her senses and looked around.
The dog was digging into the soil in the corner of the courtyard wall, and there seemed to be something underneath that interested him.
The old prince has been following Xiao Jingze these past few days, almost never leaving.
Su Jinxiu was too embarrassed to go to the palace again, so she returned to her small courtyard every day.
Naturally, the dog did not stay in the palace and followed her back.
"Jinbao, what are you looking for?"
Su Jinxiu stepped forward and touched the dog's head.
The cat was named Lucky, and the dog was named Lucky.
It attracts wealth and brings good fortune.
Jinbao looked at Su Jinxiu and became more and more excited.
"Woooooooo, there's something.
Woohoo, the smell of blood!"
When Su Jinxiu heard this, she frowned.
Helping the dog to pull away the mound of soil, he revealed a gleaming dagger underneath.
The dagger looks very delicate, and it looks like it is not something ordinary people would use.
The key is that she found unwashed blood in the gap of the dagger.
She was sure that there was no such thing in the front yard.
Looking at the pile of soil, it must have been newly disturbed.
Su Jinxiu carefully wrapped the dagger in cloth and touched Jin Bao's head.
"Jinbao, you did a good job.
Let’s go to the palace first.”
This matter was quite strange, and she couldn't find anyone else to discuss it with.
It's better to go find Ah Jiu and feel more at ease.
Su Jinxiu rode to the palace and had just arrived at the door.
The door to the palace was opened, and the afterimage breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Jinxiu.
"The princess is finally here, if you don't come again.
The prince is afraid that he will kill his uncle."
When Su Jinxiu heard this, she didn't even bother to correct the name of the afterimage.
"The old prince is here too?"
Afterimage nodded, sighed and remembered.
"That's right! The old prince is here all the time and refuses to go back to his palace."
