Ye Jinxiu was mentally prepared for this and was also frightened by the sudden turn of events.

Madame Xie was so frightened that she no longer dared to cry. The entire room was deathly silent. No one dared to say a single word, and the old lady no longer cried.

The old man was in good health. He took a few deep breaths as he walked up to Ye Zhiteng and even slapped him. "Look at the good lady you're going to marry!"

"He is from a humble background and doesn't respect his elders. He entered the House of Ye using those dirty tricks. He forced her to die, tortured her, and framed a good concubine!"

The Old Master was swift and decisive as he pointed his finger at the Xie Clan. He counted out the number of crimes, and any one of them could sweep the Xie Clan out of the house.

Mrs Xie was so frightened that her face turned pale.

With this slap, Ye Zhenzheng quickly kneeled down and asked the Old Master to calm down.

How could the Old Master have heard these words? He pointed to the Xie family and said, "You, bring me a pen and ink now, give me a rest for this wicked woman!"

As he spoke of Hugh and Xie, Ye Zhicheng hesitated again, refusing to open his mouth.

The Old Master didn't want to force her, so he waved his hand, "Someone, tie this woman up for me!"

Ye Shisui became anxious and hurriedly looked at the Old Master. "Father ?" Father, what are you doing? "

The Old Master sneered and took two steps back, "Tie this unfaithful and unfilial woman up and throw her into the manor!"

Whatever the Xie Clan did back then, they should have let her suffer the consequences.

The servants all listened to the Old Master. As soon as the heavens spoke, one of them immediately went to subdue the Xie Clan.

Huai Yu protected her master, pushing away the servants with all her might, "What are you doing!? "My wife is the matriarch of the House of Ye. Who dares to touch her?!"

Madame Xie knelt on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed as she declared her innocence.

The old lady sneered and stopped crying. She used her walking stick to stand next to the Old Master and shouted, "With this old woman here, you won't be able to sit still!"

The words of the two reverends were already spoken. Even though Ye Jingru usually had a big temper, she didn't dare to act rashly this time.

He could only kneel on the ground and kowtow with all his might, "Please investigate, Grandfather. This really has nothing to do with my mother!"

Madame Xie also constantly shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "Please believe me, how could I do such a thing? There must definitely be someone framing me."

Hearing the word 'framed', Xiao Hong's body stiffened.

Ye Jinsu raised her eyebrows and rubbed her head, pretending to have a headache as she leaned on Little Red's shoulder.

Ye Zichen clenched the stiff Xiao Hong's hand.

Her thin lips parted slightly.

Xiao Hong recognized the mouth: "It's fine."

With her heart at peace, Xiao Hong took a deep breath and relaxed.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the words on the ground were slowly washed away. The Xie Clan did not dare move even if they knelt in the rain. They could only kneel.

A bolt of lightning flashed.

The old lady pointed to the dark red blood stains on the ground and gnashed her teeth, "The first three feet were filled with gods. Everyone saw what happened today. If you have a clear conscience, then why do bloody words appear under your feet!"

"Even now, you're still arguing. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!?" cried the old lady, pointing to the sky.

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden clap of thunder.

The servants raised their heads to look at the sky, discussing amongst themselves.

"No, I didn't. Why would I admit it!? There must be someone framing me! "

Huai Yu agreed, "Master! Madam has been in the household for several decades, and her character is well-known to all. How could she do such a thing?

Seeing that things were turning for the better, Ye Shisui also agreed. "That's right, father. According to our son's perspective, this matter is very strange. Could it be that someone is deliberately mystifying it?"

The old lady and the Old Master did not believe him at all. He didn't even open his mouth to speak to Ye Chong, but waved his hand to point at the servants. "Why aren't you doing anything to me?"

They were determined to get rid of the Xie Clan.

Now that he had used this as an excuse, he wished that he could quickly and thoroughly resolve this mess.

Ye Zheng was flustered.

Ye Jinsu glanced at Little Red and suddenly grabbed her hand and stood up, "Grandmother, don't worry."

She walked up to the old lady and gently caressed her back. "I was originally going to recite sutras for Miss Si Xiang today. It's hard to avoid having too many eyes on her."

Ye Jinsu glanced at the kneeling Madame Xie and said, "Since Second Mother is so sure that she hasn't done it before, why don't we investigate this matter so that the servants won't suspect anything in the future."

"What do you think, Father?"

Ye Zhonglou was stunned. Ye Jinsu actually spoke to Yu'er? He almost thought he had heard wrongly.

Noticing that Ye Zhonglou was silent for a moment, Ye Jinsu kneeled down towards the old lady again and said, "Grandmother, Si Xiang accidentally left, I'm sure she wants the truth from the underworld as well."

Ye Jinsu's words were clear and precise, and Ye Shisui was surprised. "Yes, father," he agreed. "If this is really Yu'er's doing, then we should know the whole story."

As expected, the old lady was a little swayed when Si Xiang was brought out.

Ye Jingru took two steps forward before kowtowing once again, "Grandmother, please investigate this clearly!"

Everyone from the Xie Clan and even the Xie Clan knelt down and kowtowed. "Old lady, please investigate!"

It was a magnificent scene.

The old lady's expression wavered, turning to look at the Old Master.

The Old Master's expression was cold, his thoughts unclear. As he looked at the scene before him, he glared at Ye Jinsu, who was leading the group, and lifted his clothes to sit down.

"Alright, since you said that you want to investigate the matter, let me ask you. How do you want to investigate this matter?" The Old Master looked at Ye Jinsu and spoke.

Ye Chong saw that this matter was actually going to be referred to Ye Jinsu for investigation. How could this be acceptable? He was getting anxious.

"Father, Su'er is sick and has just been frightened. What can a girl like her do?"

"If you don't want to do this, then let your son do it."

The Old Master waved his hand, "No, didn't she think there was a secret behind it? Then check it out for me. What exactly is it?"

The Xie Clan's complexion turned even worse.

Ye Jinsu lowered her head. "Her granddaughter thinks that this matter should be investigated from the people in Second Mother's courtyard."

The Old Master raised an eyebrow, "Where do you start?"

"Si Xiang has only been in the Ye residence for a short time, and there are only two people around. They were all sent out before, but we can't find them now even if we look for them."

"As the mistress of the House of Ye, Second Mother cannot be interrogated. We can only interrogate her from the people that are with her."

With that, Ye Jinsu glanced at the direction of the Xie Clan and said, "Why don't you invite everyone from the Second Mother's courtyard over and ask them all?"

Huaiyu had a strange expression on her face as she spoke, "If you want to interrogate me, then so be it. Why did you call everyone here to interrogate me?"

Ye Jinsu smiled, "I believe Miss Huaiyu has forgotten the past. I still have lingering fears for Second Mother's actions. At this time, it's only a foolproof plan."
