Reborn eldest daughter, she killed Gu Zhaoqin Xinglie insanely

"My lord, can you call in all the little girls who are on duty in the corridor tonight so that I can ask them?"

Gu Zhao had already understood the process and looked at Lin Weikang calmly, waiting for his answer.

There was silence in the room. Only Lin Yayi muttered in a low voice, "Pretending to be pretty good."

Lin Weikang looked at Gu Zhao with a deep look in his eyes: "Come here, call all the girls on duty in the corridor tonight."

Mrs. Zhang wanted to stop her, but she was also afraid that Gu Zhao would pull on Lin Xuerong, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it, and just glared at Gu Zhao hard.

Lin Xuerong sat elegantly on the spot, looking calm and unflustered.

She also wanted to see what good acting this Gu Zhao could do.

Eight little girls were lined up in a row, all under ten years old, with reserved expressions, kneeling on the ground motionless.

Qingxing had closed her eyes and refused to open them even though Gu Zhao pinched her chin hard.

This second young lady is really evil, she can guess all this. I don't look at Hong'er, lest she find out.

"Can you keep your eyes closed without revealing any flaws?" Gu Zhao's laughter sounded like a kind of torture to Qing Xing's ears.

"Who's the girl who passed on the forbidden steps to you?"

Qingxing said nothing, but could not stop the thoughts running in her heart.

Hong'er is the fourth one, I guess, but I won't tell you. I heard from Sister Yue that once the matter is settled, I will be arranged to live in the eldest son's yard and I will be an aunt in the future... If I can give birth to a son and a half.

, maybe she can even become an old lady...

Haha, Gu Zhao couldn't help but sneer.

Ambitious and long-term thinking.

As expected of the Duke's Mansion, every maid is so ambitious.

Gu Zhao let go of Qing Xing, walked step by step to the eight little girls, his eyes fell on them, "Raise your head and tell me your name."

The eight little girls hesitated for a moment before starting to sign up one by one.

The fourth little girl from left to right has a round face and a red mole on her chin. She speaks a little nervously, "My maid, my name is Hong'er."

After all the girls reported their names, Gu Zhao squatted down directly in front of Hong'er. Qing Xing, who opened her eyes, saw where Gu Zhao was squatting, and her face suddenly turned pale.

She, she won't find out, right?

"Hong'er, right? Qingxing thought that if she didn't open her eyes, you wouldn't be exposed. But she didn't know that when she heard your name, her body reaction already revealed the truth."

Gu Zhao also held her chin, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Who gave you the forbidden step and asked you to give it to Qingxing?"

Hong'er seemed to be frightened, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she raised her hands straight up, "I don't have any of you, I'm unjust!"

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Sister Tingyue is the eldest lady. The master and his wife love the eldest lady so much, how could they lose face to the eldest lady for a country bumpkin? You can't admit it, you absolutely can't admit it. Even if you get beaten, you can't admit it.

Gu Zhao listened to the little girl's trembling voice, and her smiling expression looked a bit evil.

"Actually, the answer is not difficult to guess. The third lady had not lost her forbidden steps when she entered the table. She never left the table from the beginning to the end. So the only people who can take away her forbidden steps are those who have been close to her during the process."

Lin Yayi exclaimed and couldn't help looking up to look at Tingyue next to Lin Xuerong. She remembered clearly that Tingyue once poured her a cup of tea and curtsied after putting down the tea. If Tingyue's hands and feet were nimble enough, she could definitely do something

.

Tingyue lowered her hands and moved her toes slightly.

"How many such people can there be?"

"Similarly, the people who left the room and went to the corridor during the banquet were those few people."

"If there is a person who has been close to the third lady and been in the corridor before Qingxing, this person will be highly suspicious."

"Is this person difficult to find? No, it's easy to find."

"However, when I find the person first and then question you, you will not be considered as taking the initiative to report and can get a reduced punishment. But if the evidence of the crime is confirmed, you will transfer the stolen goods, cover up the thief, and frame the master, and your crime will be increased!"

"Hong'er, you have to think clearly about whether the benefits promised to you by others can really be realized. If you die, the person you want to take care of will be alone, and no one will care about you anymore."

Listening to Hong'er's inner struggle, Gu Zhao's every sentence hit the point where Hong'er was most afraid. Finally, Hong'er collapsed completely and suddenly begged for mercy loudly, with tears streaming down her face.

"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die! It was Sister Tingyue who gave the forbidden steps to this slave and asked her to hand it over to Sister Qingxing! Sister Tingyue said that as long as this slave is ready, she will ask an imperial doctor to treat your younger brother.

I only have one younger brother, and I don’t want him to die!"

The whole hall roared, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xuerong.

"so funny."

Tingyue raised her head and looked directly at Gu Zhao, without any fear, even with a bit of arrogance, "Second Miss, you are very powerful. You frightened a little girl like this and asked her to pull me into the water so that I could take off your clothes."

He also framed my young lady. But this is the Duke's Mansion, and the Duke and his wife are here. How could I watch you make false accusations at will with just one mouth?
