Gan Han's mouth moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Since I didn't deny it, it means that I have tacitly agreed to what I said.

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. My eyes were wide open as I looked at the dejected woman who was sitting at the bottom of the table. For a moment, I couldn't think of what to say.

There was actually such a person in this world who, in order to repay a debt of gratitude, would slaughter the lives of people he had never been in conflict with!

I always thought that it was common for people to take revenge and complain. Repaying grievances with virtue is the doing of a saint. A little girl like me thinks that she doesn't have that kind of cultivation, nor does she have the intention to serve the common people.

However, I will never harm someone who has nothing to do with me, just to repay the kindness of others.

Who knows, the "benefactor" that I speak of, could it be because he wanted to harm others that he left me hanging on to life? Or perhaps, after the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, I will meet my enemy again on the road to the Yellow Springs!

Amitabha!

I don't have that kind of patience. Under the underworld, I still have to struggle against these ghosts!

The Gan family saw that my face didn't look good and probably felt that they didn't do it properly. Lowering their heads, they rubbed their clothes and even spoke up for themselves in a low voice, "Your servant … Your servant … There was no other way … In any case … This servant did not harm the others! "

No innocent victims?

Even if Wen Lian, Ying'er, and the wet nurse were Lan Xin's targets, wasn't it just a life of hers that was already in the coffin? Wasn't it innocent that the dying Zhou Baimu was still lying at home in the courtyard?

It could be seen that in her heart, her life was like a blade of grass. What mattered was that she could repay the kindness she received.

It was simply stupid!

I shook my head.

Even though she did something wrong and didn't know it yet, she still tried to force her words in front of me. Even if I were to say it out loud, she would probably stubbornly believe that there wasn't anything wrong with what she did. I didn't want to waste my breath arguing with her.

The interrogation had been going on for quite some time, and the sky was starting to brighten up. I was afraid that in another two hours, the sky would brighten up and I would have to pay my respects to my grandmother.

Looking at the still obstinate expression on Gan Sanquan's face, I sighed, brushed my skirt, and said:

"Since you say you want to repay this debt of gratitude, then I will follow your logic. You have received a favor from that person, so you are going to harm the lives of others. Then if, one day, I accept her kindness and she wants me to kill your entire family, will I do the same without asking why? At that time, you can also tell yourself in such a righteous manner, your child, your husband and even your entire family, 'This person killed our family to repay the debt of gratitude, we can't blame her,' don't you think so? "

Hearing my words, the expression on Gan Sanquan's face changed. He hurriedly raised his head to look at my expression. Seeing that I was only giving an example, his expression loosened a little, but he still lowered his head and listened to me.

"From this, it can be seen that your principles are all shameless words. However, even if you understood now, it was already too late. In the mourning hall, next to his mother's coffin, were the four coffins, all of which were made by you! They were all people who had parents and family members. Now you are forced to part with your life because of what you call "gratitude." A crime like this is not something that you can eliminate with a single word of repentance. "

At this point, I paused for a moment. I saw that the Gan family was regretting their decision. Seeing her lower her head, with a bit of water on her face and her clothes slightly wet, my heart became increasingly sad.

For someone like me, with a little bit of luck, I could live another life. However, for someone like her, with the blood of an innocent person on her hands, it would be hard for her to feel at ease for the rest of her life.

Wasn't this the same as committing sins and not being able to live?

I sighed again and continued, "I haven't thought of how to deal with you at the moment, but you won't be able to go out and walk around. I will first lock you in my courtyard, and then we can peacefully pass the next few days. "If you don't cause trouble for me, I'll let your family come and see you after this. If you keep on tormenting me, don't blame me for being merciless."

To put it bluntly, this is my usual style of doing things. Let's just say the words first. It's still possible to get things done. If this Gan family were to wake up, I might actually spare her life.

To be able to live another life, I actually feel very fortunate in my heart. There was nothing more valuable than one's life.

I took a sip of the tea that had just been added by Lan Lingyun. With the help of Lan Li, I stood up and prepared to leave.

Mrs Gan stifled her sobs as she kowtowed three times towards me. "Thank you for your consent, Miss!" Your servant … "He will definitely be obedient."

I nodded to her and led Lan Lingyun out of the back room.

The sun was peeking out from the left side of the mountain, and the moon on the right was hanging between the two mountains. I smiled. Such brilliance could be considered a scenery of the Northern Kingdom!

Lan Ling also stood behind me, and after admiring it for a moment, she urged me, "It's cold outside, let's go back inside!"

I smiled and nodded. I tucked my hands into my sleeves and said, "We'll listen to our general director!"

Lan Ling couldn't help but chop her feet, pouting coquettishly, "Miss only knows how to make fun of us servants! This servant is not a man, how can she be called a general director? "

As Lan Ling came to the family with Li as her last name, she adopted Lan Li as her first daughter. Naturally, Lan Li's last name also became Li.

I replied smilingly, "If you want to talk about the Head Supervisor, he might not necessarily be a man!"

Lan Ling's face reddened as she spat. Holding my hand, she added a bit of strength. "Lady, no matter what, is just like a man outside. Learn to speak nonsense!"

Knowing that she was still the daughter of a girl, she was forbidden from making jokes like this. She would get angry if she said too much.

I smiled and changed the topic. "It seems that this Madame Gan has some conscience, but she has done such a thing. Although she was confused, she was afraid that Lan Xin had done her a great favor, making her want to pay it back with her life. "Think of a way to investigate her family and see if they have any troubles."

As I was about to reach the door, seeing that I had slowed down, Lan Ling did not reach out to help me open the curtain. Instead, she stood in front of me, listening to my commands.

I smiled and nodded towards her. This girl was actually quite well-behaved. She knew that I was afraid that I would wake up her family members if I went in to talk. I couldn't help but smile as I spoke.

"And this cake, it was clearly locked in the cupboard. How did it end up in Manager Liu's hands?" I don't think he stole it! Not to mention our family, he can also be considered a person with a lot of reputation. Even if he were to openly walk into the mourning hall, it would be impossible for him to not have someone to support him, let alone walk into the kitchen in the backyard. "

"Besides, I've never seen a thief who could steal something from his front legs and sneak it out to give to others. Thinking like this, it was most likely someone else who stole it, gave it to him without knowing its meaning, and he didn't know, then gave it to someone else. It was also possible that someone saw through the bottom of the cake and had a grudge with him.

"I am not going to do anything now. Besides, I can't see it from the outside any better than you can see from the inside. So I'll leave this investigation to you." But you have to be careful, this is happening in the front yard, and also involves the people in our garden. If you investigate, you will definitely alarm Manager Lu, and at that time, you will lose face. Before you investigate, go and talk to him. Let him know and give you a hand. In addition, since this matter was not good to listen to and there were many things happening at home, it was best to investigate it in secret. If you are unable to do so, ask Manager Lu to help you. You must find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible. "

Lan Yi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Did you release those people who were locked in the room, or keep them inside?" Cui'er, Gan Sanquan's family, are they in our yard, or have they moved elsewhere? Also, with so many people locked up, what should we say to the outside world? "

I had thought it all out, and before I could say it, the girl had begun to interrogate me.

I pursed my lips into a smile as I instructed, "As expected, our Lan Ling ladies are merciful, yet we are still thinking about them." I don't want to ask any more, just arrange it yourself! "

Lan Lin's face lit up as she smiled and bent her knees before me. She said, "This servant thanks Miss on their behalf!" With a smile, he drew the curtain for me and invited me in.

Still looking at Jiayi, Tao'er sat on the foot in front of the bed, her head hanging down. She was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed.

Lan Lan looked at me. Seeing that I didn't have any expression of anger on my face, she didn't go forward to call her over and let her rest for a while.

I brought Lan Lingyun into the screen of the Western Room and changed into a new moon belt and an inner garment. Then, I changed back into the thin linens that I wore before. Surrounded by Lan Ling, Lan Xin and Lan Xi, they entered the East Room.

Lan Ling helped me out of my shoes and onto the kang. Lan Xi held the pot and poured half a basin of hot water into the large brass basin, then poured cold water into it. Lan Li personally tested the temperature and brought it to me.

Seeing me nod, Lan Ling wrapped a large towel around my collar. Lan Xin held a corner of soap, balsam, and Lan Xi held a tray. She stood on the other side, holding a handkerchief, and some balsam.

When I was done, I put the cream on my face. Lan Ling, Lan Xi, and Lan Xi once again prepared to help me pour water to wash my feet. Lan Xin carried the water out. She was about to put the washed water in the yard. I called out to her, "There's already enough soap in the basin. There's no need to add it in any more. Just bring it over and pour some hot water over. That'll be it." "It will be daybreak soon. If this continues, I might just get up and clean up after lying down!"

Lan Xin was still holding the basin. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Lan Lingyun nod at her. Then, she awkwardly came back with water. Together with Lan Xi, she poured the water into the camphor wood bucket that I usually use to wash my feet.

I washed my feet while teasing Lan Li, "As expected of our General Manager Li, someone who even I can't compare to!"

Lan Xin and Lan Xi lowered their heads and snickered.

Lan Lingyun flushed in embarrassment and stuck her waist. She stood up and pointed at the two maids as she jokingly scolded them, "What a shameless little hoof, you're actually laughing at me at this moment! I don't know who was the one with the slobbering face just now, begging me to ask again and again! If you change it and I have a brother-in-law, I'll be happy too! "

Lan Xin only lowered her head and didn't say anything. Lan Xi was a bit bolder. She smiled and said, "Miss, don't be impatient. Sooner or later, there will be a place for you!"

Lan Li glared at her, then turned her head and took a handkerchief to wipe my feet.

I laughed and shouted, "Aiyo! Aiyo! They are the ones who angered the young lady, so why would the young lady take my foot for a ride? "

After having joked for a while, Lan Xin and Lan Xi left, leaving Lan Ling alone in the room. Lan Ling was leaning on my usual Rohan bed, keeping watch for me.

There was only one light left in the room and it was dim. I couldn't help but feel a little confused and couldn't help but think back to the interrogation of Cui Er and that Gan family.

It was fine with Cui Er, but this little girl's family, although she was smart, she did not seem to be able to hide the truth.

On the surface, however, it seemed that Gan Jiayi was the one who seemed innocent, but behind his back, he actually twisted and turned quite a bit. Although she looked as if she had repented, who knew if she was still wholeheartedly trying to hide her most crucial sentence from her dog shit benefactor?

Besides, what she had said was quite incomprehensible.

What do you mean, even if you haven't eaten, you just need to touch it?

Could it be that the cake was poisoned? As long as one touched it, even if it was washed, it wouldn't be washed clean. That was why Lan Xin had such confidence. She instructed the Gan Family that they only needed to let the cautious Lu Kui touch them.

Besides, why did Lan Xin poison these four people?

Could it be because the Green Bandits are my little girl, and the other three are my family members? Once they are all gone, I will be unable to maintain my arm for a long period of time?

However, although this would be very inconvenient for me, it wouldn't cause me to become so flustered.

If one lacked a trusted aide, they could always promote new girls. Lan Xin didn't expend so much energy just to make me sad for a month and a half, right?

Instinctively, I was very much like Lanxin. We are all practical, calculating, and emotionally thin. We would never do such a thing.

Could it be that there was something strange about this cake?

Unfortunately, I can't see anything special about this small side of the cake!

Sigh!

In the end, I still have to hold myself back and beg Huang Gongzhong to come and help me.

I couldn't help but sigh. In the quiet night, it was exceptionally clear.

Lan Ling was very alert. She stood up in the dark and stuck her head into the brick bed. With a hint of confusion in her voice, she asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine!" I shook my head and turned around. I tightly pulled the blanket on my body and said, "Quickly, go to sleep!"

Lan Li still poured me a cup of tea and helped me rinse my mouth. She tucked me in and advised, "How many husbands have come to help me? They all say that you have a headache from blowing the wind and that your love for three to five years is a problem caused by your overthinking. You just don't want to listen! "Tonight, I've already stayed up through the night. If I don't get my strength back and I continue to let my imagination run wild, wouldn't that mean …"
