“Oh?” Lu Mou was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was within his expectations.
All the traces left at the crime scene indicated that this matter must have been done by a family thief. Since it was done by his own family, it would not be difficult for Liu Fuyun to find out who it was as long as he had the heart!
As for why Liu Shimei wanted to sue the Supreme Court but did not seek help from her own father, the deeper meaning behind this was very intriguing.
Thinking about it, the rumors about the father and daughter falling out were not rumors, but facts!
Liu Fuyun did not waste any time. He glanced coldly at Liu Shimei and said to his attendant behind him, “Order Madam to come in.”
With that order, Madam Zhang entered.
In her eyes, she and Liu Yan’er had just lost the game with Liu Shimei. Her daughter could not hold back and wanted her to take the blame. What else could she do?
If she did not follow Liu Fuyun’s wishes, and if Liu Yan’er was found out by Lu Mou, her future would be ruined. At that time, she might not even be able to keep her position as the Grand Chancellor’s Wife. If she was accused of not teaching her daughter properly, it would be enough to divorce her!
Liu Fuyun said, “Madam, please explain everything to Lord Lu in detail. There’s no need for Lord Lu to waste his breath!”
“Yes, Grand Chancellor,” Madam Zhang responded and began her statement. “It’s all my fault. I should be blamed for this matter. It’s my fault that the entire city is in trouble.”
Hearing such an opening remark, Lu Mou raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Liu Shimei.
Liu Shimei hugged the rabbit and stroked its fur. She lowered her eyes and remained motionless like a mountain. It was obviously within her expectations.
It seemed that this Eldest Miss Liu knew everything in the residence like the back of her hand. She probably knew who did this before she submitted the complaint! She knew that the Grand Chancellor would not give her justice, so she angrily reported it to the Supreme Court and blew up the matter, making it difficult for the Grand Chancellor to back down.
This was much better than letting the Liang family stand up for her!
A brilliant move!
Madam Zhang continued, “A few days ago, Madam Ruyi’s dowry had always been in the hands of this concubine. After Shimei received the Imperial Edict on King Dun Yu’s marriage, she took back all of Madam Ruyi’s dowry after many twists and turns. During this period, she gave me a lot of embarrassment.”
Hearing this, Liu Shimei raised her head slightly, a mocking smile on her lips.
This reason was seamless and flawless!
She just did not know if it was Liu Fuyun who came up with it or if it was Madam Zhang who came up with it herself.
She glanced at Liu Fuyun and received a sharp gaze.
However, she did not mind.
Madam Zhang continued, “In addition, my Yan’er only argued with Eldest Young Miss for a few words before Eldest Young Miss broke her leg. As a biological mother, I naturally can’t bear to see my daughter suffer. Therefore, I hated the Eldest Young Miss and wanted to teach her a lesson.”
She lowered her head. “So, when Eldest Miss was staying at her maternal grandfather’s house for a short while, I ordered people to break into the storeroom of Leihua Courtyard and steal a few things.”
At this point, it proved that Madam Zhang had admitted that she was the one who had committed the theft at Leihua Courtyard!
However, Lu Mou did not close the case just like that. After a moment of silence, he asked, “I have two questions. First, the Grand Chancellor’s Wife bore a grudge against Eldest Young Miss Liu. How could stealing a few things have any impact on the Eldest Young Miss? Secondly, if Madam was the one who did it, why did I find out that there was a problem when I questioned the servants of Lotus Courtyard and not the people from Madam’s West Courtyard?”
Outsiders in the backyard of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence did not know the details, but after this investigation, these people naturally knew that Lotus Courtyard was currently the residence of the Crown Princess candidate, Second Young Miss Liu.
Some people even accidentally revealed that before Eldest Miss Liu lost her virginity before marriage, Lotus Courtyard had always been Eldest Miss Liu’s residence!
Compared to Eldest Miss’s current residence, the Leihua Courtyard…
The drama in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence really made one’s heart turn cold!
Liu Shimei did not know what Lu Mou was thinking. She looked at Madam Zhang, wanting to see how she would answer Lu Mou’s question..
