Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

A strange look flashed across the old nanny's face, and she quickly turned around to call the maids.

When they came back, Lin Yiwan's nose was severely damaged because she smelled that these maids had used a lot of perfume.

Her mocking eyes immediately fell on Aunt Jinxi: "Aunt, you really didn't disappoint me. Did you think that if you let all these maids use perfume powder, I wouldn't be able to smell the murderer's scent?"

Nanny Jinxi looked at her tremblingly: "Madam, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand?"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "Smell isn't my way of identifying the murderer. I'm just using it to cover up the truth. The real murderer is the one who sprinkled scented powder on them, trying to get away with it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed the old woman's wrist: "It's you, isn't it? You poured the whole bottle of perfume powder on them, in order to hide that you were the real culprit of the poison?"

Nanny Jinxi subconsciously argued, "Madam, how could you wrongly accuse a good person? I am the old lady's personal nanny, serving her for forty years. No one understands better than me how much the old lady longs to find her legitimate granddaughter. How could I poison her?"

Old Lady Yin also spoke anxiously, "Yes, Madam Hou, you must have misunderstood. How could it be Jinxi? She has always been dedicated to her duties. Ever since I got my eye disease, she has been by my side almost every step of the way. She is so loyal, so why would she poison Yue'er? This, this doesn't make sense at all!"

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "Old Madam, some things you see may not be true. Moreover, you have an eye disease, which makes you even more easily deceived. This Madam Jinxi is too clever for her own good. I only told her that the perfume powder can cover up the smell of poison, but she secretly used a trick. Isn't she guilty?"

Old Madam Yin was trembling all over. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Jinxi, what's going on? Why did you do this?"

Nanny Jinxi spoke with difficulty, "Old Madam, you would rather believe the slander of outsiders than believe me. What else can I say? Whether it's a beating or a punishment, I will never argue!"

She stubbornly touched the ground with her head, looking ready to die.

Old Madam Yin was suddenly caught in a dilemma. On one side was Lin Yiwan, and on the other was the personal nanny who had served her for many years. She didn't know who to trust.

Just at this moment, Fang Qingshan and Yin Nianyue, who had received the news, hurried to the outer courtyard.

Yin Nianyue spoke first: "Grandmother, I heard that someone in the backyard used you to poison Yue'er. Have you found out who it was?"

Old Madam Yin was furious. She said disappointedly, "It's Jinxi. The Marquis's wife has already suspected her, but she refuses to plead guilty and even looks like she's been wronged!"

Yin Nianyue frowned and said, "If that's the case, then let's go to her house and search to see if there's anything suspicious. Wouldn't that prove her innocence?"

Old Madam Yin thought this was a good idea and immediately asked Yin Nianyue to take people to search Nanny Jinxi's house.

Not long after, he hurried back with a medicine bottle.

He said with a grim expression, "I found this medicine bottle in her room. There's still some medicine powder left in it. Madam Hou, please tell me if it's the poison she gave Yue'er in the yam porridge!"

When she saw the medicine bottle being handed to Lin Yiwan, Nanny Jinxi's pupils contracted violently.

She denied it with a hoarse voice: "No, that poison bottle is not mine at all, not at all, old lady, you are very discerning, someone must be trying to frame me!"

Old Madam Yin was very angry. She never expected that even though the things were searched out from Jinxi's yard, she still dared to deny them.

Her original protective heart disappeared, and she sternly accused him, "Shut up! I've treated you well. In the entire backyard, your food, clothing, and other necessities are the best. But I never thought that you would poison Yue'er, who just returned home. You are so cruel!"

At this time, Lin Yiwan had also confirmed that the remaining poison in the bottle was the same as that in the yam porridge, but she did not believe that this was the bottle used by Nanny Jinxi.

Let me ask you, who would poison someone and then leave evidence for a search?

Anyone with a brain must be destroyed immediately.

Now that it has been found so easily, the real murderer must be planning to use Nanny Jinxi as a pawn to take the blame.

She clutched the medicine bottle tightly and said, "Madam Jinxi, now that the evidence is irrefutable, you should be very clear about what kind of punishment you will receive, right?"

Nanny Jinxi shuddered all over. She knew that if she poisoned the master's family, there would be no chance of survival. She must die.

At this time, Yin Nianyue frowned and said, "Madam, why are you still wasting time talking to her? A lowly servant dared to murder the eldest daughter of the master family. Naturally, she must be beaten to death as a warning to others. Come, drag her away and beat her to death!"

Lin Yiwan calmly interrupted, "Master Yin, it wasn't you that was poisoned by Nanny Jinxi. How can you make the decision for my sister-in-law?"

A look of confusion crossed Yin Nianyue's face. He asked doubtfully, "Madam Hou, what do you mean? Are you planning to let the real culprit of the poison go?"

Lin Yiwan spoke slowly, "Although the poison was found in her room, she could have been a scapegoat pushed by others. She's not a fool, so how could she have hidden the remaining half bottle of poison in her room?"

Nanny Jinxi looked at Lin Yiwan in shock. She never expected that the marquis' wife from the capital could make such an accurate guess.

She gritted her teeth, and a fierce struggle flashed in her eyes.

Lin Yiwan suddenly looked at her: "The person behind this is trying to kill you, and you're still planning to hide it for her?"

Aunt Jinxi spoke subconsciously: "Yes!"

Before she could finish her words, a sharp feather arrow suddenly pierced her throat, killing her instantly.

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked over, and saw the clan elder hurriedly walking towards them with the eldest lady and her daughter.

He still held a bow and arrow in his hand, and his eyes were filled with terrifying anger.

Old Madam Yin didn't know what had happened. She only had time to hear Nanny Jinxi scream and then fall to the ground.

She asked anxiously, "Madam Hou, what happened to Jinxi? Why is she silent?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and replied, "She was shot dead on the spot by an arrow from the elder who had just arrived!"

Madam Yin was stunned at first, then she angrily asked, "Why did you take the initiative to kill Jinxi? What are your intentions?"

The elder of the clan frowned and explained, "Mother, why waste time on this lowly servant? Since we found poison in her room, she must be the murderer. It's getting late now. We must hurry and take Yue'er, get the Heart Pendant, and go unlock the forbidden area!"
