After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Lan Yingying was smart for once, she hit the key point.

This was her first time at the Chen residence. How could she bring a beehive in and put it on a tree full of people?

The beehive incident must have been done by someone from the Chen family or someone very close to them.

"Come here, please take Miss Lan away!" Mrs. Ke pretended to be angry and gave the order.

"What's the rush? Is Madam Chen afraid that Miss Lan will say something?"

The one who spoke was Mrs. Wang.

None of these officials' wives are fools, they can all think of the key points.

"Miss Lan is young, but she has a vicious mind. She framed Miss Fang before. Her words cannot be trusted." Mrs. Wang forced herself to remain calm.

"Mrs. Chen." Jin Xiaoyan came back at some point, and she bowed with neither arrogance nor servility.

"My cousin may have done something wrong, but the truth should be investigated publicly. The Jin family will take responsibility."

Mrs. Ke's face changed. With Jin Xiaoyan stepping forward, she really couldn't take Lan Yingying away and handle the matter hastily.

"It seems that Miss Lan was only targeting Miss Fang. The beehive was probably not man-made. Perhaps the servants were careless and didn't notice it. In any case, it is my fault for disturbing you all. I am willing to apologize here."

Ke is also a decisive person.

Knowing that the blame could not be put on Lan Yingying, he simply admitted that it was an "accident."

In this way, although you may offend someone, there is always room for redemption. It is better than really investigating further and finding out that it is your own family members.

At first, Ke didn't know who did it, but now he is not stupid and has guessed about 70% of it.

She was not defending the instigator, but the reputation of the Chen family.

"Miss, there are no signs of a beehive growing on this tree, but the rope used to tie it has been cut."

A clear female voice suddenly came.

Anmei didn't know when she had flown up the tree, but now she was sitting on a branch, fiddling with a half-length rope.

"Oh? Then someone must have tied it up in advance and cut it off at the critical moment. Was it a hidden weapon?"

Fang Nanzhi responded.

Anmei nodded: "Judging from the traces, it should be a dart. It can be found in the garden."

There were hornets running rampant before, and she guessed that the person who attacked them didn't have time to retrieve the darts.

As soon as these words were spoken, without any order from Mrs. Ke, the maids brought by the other ladies went to look for him.

Mrs. Ke's expression changed completely, and she couldn't stop it.

Chen Zhiyi clenched her handkerchief, her eyes were uneasy, and no one knew what she was thinking.

“Yes, it’s here.”

A maid carefully held the dart in her handkerchief and lifted it up.

The cold darts gleamed in the sunlight.

Flawed evidence.

"Mrs. Chen, if you're unwilling to investigate this matter, why not ask Mr. Chen to come?"

"The banquet at your house is really not tasty."

"I think we should ask Jingzhao Prefecture for help. If this dart hits my daughter, she might not be able to survive."

The ladies were very excited.

Mrs. Ke could only humble herself and said, "Madams, the Chen family definitely has no such intentions. There must be some villain behind this."

While speaking, he glanced at Fang Nanzhi.

Fang Nanzhi almost laughed out of anger. Was he implying that she was a villain?

But at this point, Ke really can't be perfunctory anymore.

She showed her decisive side and tied up all the maids and servants who had served in the garden.

"Those who know the whole story and report it will be exempted from punishment."

"The person who did it can save his family from suffering if he confesses himself."

"If you know the truth but don't report it, everyone will be sold out together!"

After all, Mrs. Ke is the mistress of the house, and when she is majestic, she is intimidating to the servants.

People immediately reported it.

"I saw that the gardener, Brother Wu, threw something just now."

"Awu was checking something on the tree earlier... but we already pruned the branches yesterday."

After just a few words, Ah Wu was exposed.

"Where is Ah Wu?" Mrs. Ke frowned.

Ah Wu was not around, and he took the opportunity to run away while others were busy dealing with the hornets.

But where can he run?

Ke sent people to chase him and caught him after a while.

He knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, his whole body covered in cold sweat, knowing that he was doomed this time, after all, he had hurt so many important people.

"Yes, it was the eldest lady who asked me to do it. She said she wanted to target Miss Fang. I am just a servant and I dare not disobey the master's orders."

The eldest lady - Chen Zhiyi staggered and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"I……"

"Zhiyi, is what he said true?"

Chen Zhiyi's face turned pale, his eyelids drooped, and he was about to faint.

"Sister Zhiyi, please don't faint. I'm a doctor. I have three hundred ways to wake you up." Fang Nanzhi smiled and approached: "I know, you were only stung twice, you won't faint from the poison."

In Chen Zhiyi's eyes, this smile was no different from that of a devil.

Her body trembled, but she managed to steady herself again.

Chen Zhiyi knelt on the ground with a plop, opened his mouth, and was about to say that the servants were making false accusations.

"Sister Zhiyi, a gentleman should be honest. You must tell the truth, otherwise..."

Fang Nanzhi stopped smiling and didn't finish his words, but the threat was obvious.

"This is the first time I've met Sister Zhiyi. I've never offended anyone before. Why would Sister Zhiyi want to harm me?"

"Is this your idea, or someone else in the Chen Mansion?"

"Are you trying to harm me? That shouldn't be the case. Once the hive is out, none of the sisters in the garden will be able to escape."

Veins popped up on Ke's forehead, and he couldn't help but interrupt: "Miss Fang, be careful with your words."

Fang Nanzhi's face turned cold and he directly retorted.

"Why, your family treats me so well, and you still want me to welcome you back?"

She was clearly a little girl who had not yet reached marriage age, but standing there she had the awe-inspiring demeanor of a superior.

Mrs. Ke was at a loss for words and could only look at the concubine fiercely: "Rebellious daughter, why don't you confess the truth?"

The embroidered handkerchief in Chen Zhiyi's hand had become a ball.

"Mother, it's my sister-in-law..."

"The third princess has arrived!"

A shrill voice rang out at the right moment.

The third princess, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a noble and cold face, strode into the garden.

Following behind her were Su Xiran and Princess Yiyang.

"Long live Her Highness the Princess!"

Everyone bowed, but Fang Nanzhi remained motionless.

Qing Yan said that all his brothers and sisters wanted to harm him, none of them were good, so there was no need to give them face.

The third princess just glanced at her calmly and didn't say anything.

Obviously he knows about the jade pendant.

"Get up." The third princess said lightly.

"Thank you princess."

The Third Princess's beautiful eyes flickered as she saw the miserable state of the ladies and young ladies. She pursed her red lips and said, "This garden is quite lively. Madam Chen, you are not hospitable enough."

Mrs. Ke hurriedly apologized: "It's my fault for not raising my daughter well. I caused trouble for no reason."

The Third Princess looked at Chen Zhiyi with a cold, indifferent gaze: "Miss Chen, why did you want to harm the young doctor who treated the Crown Prince?"

Chen Zhiyi raised her eyes and looked at her sister-in-law Su Xiran.

The latter's eyes were calm, as if he didn't care about her answer.

But Chen Zhiyi has always been a little smart, and she has regained her sanity.

She knew that her eldest sister-in-law came in with the third princess, which meant she caught her eye. She also knew that even if the third princess didn't exist, the weight of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was greater than that of a illegitimate girl like her.

If she said anything nonsense, she would die and her aunt would be implicated.
