Chapter 320
They even raised a vicious woman like Chen!
Can such a family really be honest and decent?
Emperor Taihe took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "Now that we have discovered the Gu worm, we must thoroughly investigate its origins! If anyone dares to obstruct us, arrest them and interrogate them!"
"Wei Chen obeys!"
Lu Xuan took the order and left. After leaving the palace, he went straight back to the yamen to call a group of Black Kirin guards and headed to Xie's house to investigate the case!
……
Xie Mansion, Du Heng Courtyard.
Chen Fang was hugging her wet nurse and crying bitterly.
"Nurse, I've let you down. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape death this time. I only blame that little bastard Xie Xiu for being so cunning. He guessed that the banknotes in the box had been tampered with and never opened it.
Now he's deliberately plotting to have Yi'er push him into this trap, staging a rather tactical scheme in the Imperial College, using his father-in-law to reveal the tragic death of that bitch Luo Sheng!"
She cried as she spoke, and suddenly asked her nurse, "Nanny, did you find that little bastard Xie Xiu in the delivery room? He said he was hiding in the delivery room and had his mouth covered by a maid!"
Her wet nurse's surname was Zhao. She had left the Xie Mansion many years ago and was helping Chen Fang with her work outside.
This time, Xie Xiu fell into the water, which revealed the tragic death of Luo Sheng many years ago. Chen Fang then sent someone to invite the wet nurse into the house and cried to her.
Aunt Zhao frowned, "I didn't find that little bastard in the delivery room. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept him until now."
At the end of her conversation, she asked anxiously, "Madam, did that little bastard really tell me about how I, an old slave, pretended to be a midwife?"
Chen Fang's eyes were blurred with tears, and there was despair in her eyes: "Nanny, this is all my fault. I've implicated you.
Now that the beast has said this, he will definitely not let it go.
I just hate that he is too cunning. He actually used the poisonous insect in the box to plot against me!
I'm afraid neither you nor I can escape this time.
But don't worry, I will ask the master to help plead for mercy and do my best to protect your family and prevent them from being implicated..."
When she said this, her voice became more choked, as if she was so sad that she could no longer speak.
However, Madam Zhao felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cave. At this moment, Chen Fang's soft body was even colder than the ice in the coldest days of winter.
It was obviously the child she nursed, and she usually called her wet nurse so affectionately, but now she was forcing her to make a choice with choked and helpless words!
Ask the master to plead for mercy?
To keep her family as safe as possible?
The master could even abandon his first wife and his own children, so how could he ruin his own reputation for a servant like her?
Once it is confirmed that she killed Luo Shi, the one who would want her dead the most would probably be the master.
Madam has been married to the master for many years, how could she not know his temper?
Not only did she know, she was also clear that she knew.
That's why he said that on purpose, forcing her to take all the blame.
But even if she knew the lady's plan, what could she do?
If she took the initiative to take on everything and save the lady, the lady, considering her years of loyalty, might be kind enough to try to save her family's lives.
If she pretended to be stupid and was unwilling to take the initiative, the lady could easily send their entire family to hell.
She had no choice.
Nanny Zhao looked at Chen Fang in her arms, and her cloudy eyes gradually became moist.
"Madam..." she said softly, "Can you really protect my family?"
Chen Fang knew that she had loosened up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this time is indeed dangerous, she has the support of the Xie and Chen families, so she may not be able to escape this disaster.
If she could live, why would she want to die?
"Don't worry, Nanny. It's me who has implicated you in this matter. I will do my best to protect your family!"
Chen Fang spoke in a decisive and sincere tone.
Zhao Mama knew she couldn't ask for more, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just said quietly, "It's true that Luo had a difficult delivery back then. She begged me to perform a caesarean section to save the baby in her womb.
Moreover, many years had passed since the incident, and those who served her at the time had kept their mouths shut forever. No matter how much the little bastard said, he could not produce any evidence.
