The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Mother He stood behind Yang Qi, her heart was in turmoil, but she resisted the urge to rush out immediately. She knew that this matter was of great importance, and if it was not handled properly, it might bring more trouble to the young lady.

However, when she saw Xu asking questions, she could no longer remain silent. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, walked slowly from behind Yang Qi to the old lady, and knelt down without hesitation.

"Old Madam, Second Madam," Madam He's voice trembled slightly, but she still said firmly, "Young Lady has suffered so much injustice over the years. Today, I am overstepping my authority and want to speak up for Young Lady and redress her grievances."

Mother He's words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their eyes to her. The old lady and Xu looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect Mother He to stand up and speak at this time.

Mother He continued, "I wonder if the old lady still remembers the incident when the second and third young ladies contracted smallpox. Back then, the third young lady contracted smallpox, not because of a natural disaster, but because Aunt Yin asked Xiaoju, who was by the young lady's side at the time, to secretly put something dirty on the young lady's clothes!"

He's mother's words were like a bombshell, exploding in the house.

Everyone looked at her in astonishment, and for a moment, the whole room was silent.

When Aunt Yin and Yang He heard what Mother He said, they were struck by lightning. Their eyes widened and their faces were filled with disbelief. They could never have imagined that Mother He would know about this!

Moreover, from what He's mother said, it can be heard that she seemed to know everything about this matter.

A strong sense of fear suddenly surged in Aunt Yin's heart, and she couldn't help but wonder when did Mother He find out about this?

If Mother He and the Third Miss knew about it a long time ago, why did they keep it to themselves until today when they suddenly attacked?

The incident that year was indeed done by Aunt Yin, but she thought she did it very secretly and there was no way she would be discovered.

Afterwards, Aunt Yin and Yang He were worried for a while, fearing that the truth would be exposed.

However, as time went by, Xiaoju left the mansion and this matter was gradually forgotten by them.

But who would have thought that more than ten years later, this matter would be brought up again by He’s mother!

Mother He's words kept echoing in Aunt Yin's mind, as if these words had been deeply imprinted in the depths of her soul.

"It's over..." Aunt Yin's body seemed to have lost its support, and she slumped to the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. If the fact that the fifth lady had drugged the third lady so that she could not go to the palace could be refuted, then the crime of poisoning the young lady in the mansion was a capital crime that could not be escaped!

At this moment, Aunt Yin was filled with regret. She regretted that she was too soft-hearted and did not think of eradicating the root of the problem, leaving Xiaoju as a hidden danger. Now it seemed that Xiaoju must have betrayed her and told the Third Miss and Mother He everything that happened.

At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from the door: "You old slave, what you said is true!"

Everyone turned around in astonishment, only to see Song Hongwen appear at the door of the house at some point. His face was frighteningly gloomy, and it was obvious that he had heard what He's mother said.

Mother He was startled by Song Hongwen's scolding, but she quickly calmed down and replied, "My Lord, every word I said is true, not a single word is false!"

Mother He's words caused another commotion, and everyone was talking and talking. Xu's face also became very ugly. She held Yang Qi's hand tightly and asked, "Yang Qi, is what Mother He said true?"

Seeing Xu's painful and self-blaming face, Yang Qi felt a pang of pain in her heart. She nodded slightly to show that she had heard what Xu said. However, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably, and her sobbing and complaining appearance made people feel pity.

If Aunt Yin really had been planning to murder the young lady in the mansion more than ten years ago, then her vicious mind was simply horrifying! Back then, Yang Qi was only three years old when he unfortunately contracted smallpox.

At that time, she was not only young, but also had not been valued by the old lady and the Duke. Although she was a legitimate daughter, she was like an exile, and could only fend for herself in the lakeside courtyard.

And in such a situation, Aunt Yin actually killed Yang Qi just because she occupied the status of the legitimate daughter. Her ulterior motives are obvious!

Seeing this, Mother He quickly saluted to Song Hongwen, and then said seriously: "My Lord, Madam, when the Third Miss got smallpox, I was the only one who accompanied her, so I know everything that happened back then.

"That slutty maid Xiaoju, after being bribed by Aunt Yin, actually murdered the young lady! If the young lady hadn't been so lucky, she would have died long ago!"

When the old lady heard this, her face became even gloomier, as if she could squeeze water out of it. She widened her eyes, stared at Mother He, and asked sternly, "When did you know about what happened back then?"

Mother He knelt on her knees and kowtowed respectfully to the old lady, then slowly raised her head and said solemnly: "Old lady, Duke, the young lady did not know about this before.

At that time, Xiaoju was old enough, so the young lady let her leave home and get married.

But who would have thought that Xiaoju's family suddenly encountered a misfortune. Her family suffered a disaster and her child fell seriously ill and urgently needed money for treatment.

With nowhere else to turn, Xiaoju had no choice but to ask the young lady for help again. "

Mother He paused for a moment and continued, "The young lady is kind-hearted. After learning about Xiaoju's predicament, she helped her without hesitation and helped Xiaoju solve the family's problems. Xiaoju was so grateful that she immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the young lady, and told her everything that happened that year."

At this point, Mother He's voice was a little low, "Also, Madam, Duke, there is one more thing. Xiaoju said that Miss Five once asked her to give Miss a kind of flower that can cause dementia! Fortunately, Miss was lucky and had a long life. Xiaoju knew nothing about flowers and plants, and actually raised the flower to death. Miss was lucky enough to escape the disaster!"

After saying this, Mother He paused again, and then said firmly: "Old Madam, Duke, everything I said today is true, and it is all supported by Xiaoju's testimony!"

Of course, in order to get Xiaoju to come out and testify "willingly", Yang Qi put in a lot of effort.
