Chapter 402
Hearing Mu Yunyao's words, the guests were all dumbfounded. Another reversal had come?
The glee in the first wife's eyes vanished, replaced by unease. "What did you say?" Mu Yunyao lightly patted the clothes on her left shoulder, as if she was flicking away the dust that had fallen there. "Just now, I saw that Grandmother and First Aunt were already so anxious to disappoint me, so it should be because they confirmed the red flower birthmark on me, right? However, I find it strange. How did you know about my true body?!
Have you ever tried to get a birthmark on it? Hearing the words from Shen Cen, Mu Yunyao carefully thought about it and recalled that when they were returning to the capital from Tomb City, she had been bored and had spent some time developing rouge, hoping to keep it in the water. As a result, when she was bathing, she drew a flower on her shoulder.
After dispersing, she could no longer be bothered and put aside this matter. Presumably, Senior Servant Liu or the others had accidentally seen it at that time and used it as her trump card today!
"... "Previously, when we investigated your and your mother's background, we found some information that …"
"Eldest aunt's words are really funny. You guys only need to investigate my identity and whether or not my mother is the daughter of the Su family. Why are you still investigating me?" "Also, who the hell did you send to investigate and find out whether I have a birthmark or not?"
The first wife was at a loss for words.
Mu Yunyao scoffed, "Do you want me to take off my clothes and let Grandmother and First Aunt have a look?"
The first wife clenched her fists tightly and turned to ask the old mistress for her opinion. "Mother …" She thought that things were certain, so she became a bit more anxious. She didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Mu Yunyao would grab hold of her weakness and turn the tables on her.
It was difficult for her to dismount from the tiger now. With so many guests watching, this matter had to be explained in detail. The Su Clan had truly gotten into big trouble.
The old mistress stared fixedly at Mu Yunyao, and the emotions in her eyes were complicated. If one were to carefully judge the situation, one would be able to see deep fear and dread within it. She wanted to kill Mu Yunyao at all times because Mu Yunyao was really too similar to that person. Not only was it her appearance and appearance, she also had a sharp aura and peerless intelligence. No matter how well you planned, even if it was a certain death situation, she would still be able to find a way to survive.
Then he would turn defeat into victory!
Mu Yunyao's figure was straight, and her face was as cold as frost, "Grandmother, First Aunt, do you want to test it out in public?"
The first wife's teeth chattered. Everything that had happened previously echoed in her mind, and every time she thought that Mu Yunyao would be unable to turn around, she would be met with a head-on attack, viciously crushing her to the ground. Could it be that this time was no exception?
The old lady tried her best to ease her expression, revealing a forced smile, "Yunyao, it's not that your aunt and I don't believe you, but it's just that this matter is very important, and your big sister Su You lost her life, we have no choice but to investigate." Mu Yunyao laughed, but her eyes were tinged with tears. "I should have known earlier on, no matter how respectful and cautious I was, in the hearts of Grandmother and First Aunt, I would only be that crude girl from the countryside. Since that's the case, then let's see, however, if I don't have anything on me …"
What's more, a birthmark can prove one's innocence? "
"Yunyao, foster mother has always believed in you. If you don't have a birthmark on you, then it would naturally be that Shen Cen speaking nonsense. I will definitely tell your foster father about this matter, and even if it would cause a ruckus in front of the emperor, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and return your innocence."
Mu Yunyao nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, foster mother. It just so happened that Old Madam Chu was here today. Her character was precious, and she wouldn't hold anything back. Let the Old Madam check for me. Grandmother, eldest aunt, you two should have no objections, right? "
The two nodded, their expressions dark.
Old Lady Chu stood up and gestured for the servants to prepare the rooms.
Arriving in her room, Mu Yunyao bowed to Old Madam Chu. "Greetings, Old Madam. I'll have to trouble you with today's matter." "No need to be so courteous, I have long heard of your reputation. Today, I wanted to meet you and say a few words to you, but you were messed with for no reason. How about I invite you to my house as a guest someday?" Old Madam Chu's face was extremely amiable. There was a gentle, watery air around her, unlike the floating Prince Jin …
On the surface, it was soft and indifferent from the inside.
Mu Yunyao was slightly flattered. "Alright, I'll definitely come to the manor and pay my respects to the madame if I have the chance in the future."
Old Mistress Chu nodded, "Although I believe in your innocence, I still want to see it for the sake of fairness."
Mu Yunyao nodded and opened up her shirt, revealing her round white shoulders. Let alone the red flower birthmark, it didn't even have a red mark.
Old Madam Chu then understood in her heart, "I've let you suffer."
Mu Yunyao pulled up her clothes and lightly shook her head. "As long as I can prove my innocence, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances."
Very quickly, the two of them came out of their room. Old Madam Chu spoke directly with a gentle and clear voice, "Miss Mu is innocent."
The First Wife's face was ashen, and she could not maintain her expression. She was no longer in the mood to show her heartache.
Mu Yunyao walked down the steps. "Grandmother, aunt, it has now been proven that Shentu has maliciously framed me. Combined with what the maids and wives said before, what happened today was purely a setup to frame me.
The first wife's face was drained of blood. She raised her head to look at the old mistress, hoping that she would make a decision soon. However, the old mistress' expression changed. She reached out her hand to brush away her finger. "Lady Meng, Senior Servant Liu is your servant. What did she do? As her master, you shouldn't be completely covered, right?"
"Mother, what do you mean?" Last time, when Mu Yunyao wanted to leave the Su palace, the old lady had pushed her out to be the scapegoat. This time, was she going to repeat the same old trick again?
Previously, the reason why she accepted it so easily was because she knew that Mu Yunyao did not grasp any tangible evidence. But this time was different, whether it was the servants serving Su You, or the ones serving Shen Ge and Senior Servant Liu, if they were to force her to confess, these people would definitely not be able to take it, and at that time, she would really be finished!
The old mistress' face was calm, and her gaze swept across the first wife, warning her, "This matter is too shocking. We need to investigate it more thoroughly. There are many guests today, and it is bustling with activity. We should send all of you out first, then interrogate you more thoroughly."
Silence reigned in the front courtyard as the guests stopped their discussions. From the looks of the madame and her attitude, the situation was quite clear. As for why they wanted to kill her, just think about how the First Madam's name, Madam Snake Scorpion, had come about. Firstly, it was to seek wealth, and secondly, it was to seize credit. Fortunately, Mu Yunyao had thought it through carefully, so they did not directly let her off.
He wanted to pin the crime on death. However, they had already guessed the truth. Whether or not they could investigate it thoroughly was still unknown, as the Su Family's power was not small. If they were to leave, even if Mu Yunyao had the ability, would she be able to win against the Su Family?
