Xiao Qian came to Shuntian Mansion incognito, with only Lord Ji knowing that he is the Tenth Prince. The subordinates refer to him as Mr. Xiao.
"Sir, what brings you here? It was quite difficult for me to find you," Guan Sheng said.
萧潜捋了捋衣摆上并不存在的褶皱，慢条斯理地问：“事办的怎么样？”
“办妥了，人带回来了，一个是林家二夫人身边的刘妈，一个是深受二夫人重用的钱管事。大人，接下来怎么办？如果这两人死不承认咱们也拿他们没办法。”
萧潜冷冷一笑：“要搞定两个奴才还不容易？分开审，做点手脚，让两人以为对方已经招了不就行了？”
“可问题是套话也得切中要害才行。”
"You just say that the other party has been recruited and the money has been taken by Madam Yao to the Yao family."
"Can this work?"
"Just go and investigate."
The Lin family's family business is undeniably substantial. Yao Shi is the head of the household responsible for managing the household expenses. Although she does not have to worry about food and clothing expenses, she still relies on such unscrupulous means to amass wealth, which is justified by the need to support the Yao family. Moreover, the amount is not small.
"Understood, I'll go right away."
In the council chamber, when Lin Zhongkun learned that it was Liu Mama and Qian Guanshi who were identified, his face turned red like a pig's liver, and cold sweat poured down.
这结果早在林叔齐的预料中，不过林叔齐还是做出很惊讶的样子，夸张道：“刘妈和钱管事？不会吧，是不是弄错了？”
纪大人施施然道：“为何不可能是这两人？”
“纪大人，您不知道，这两人是我二嫂身边最得力的下人。”
纪大人看向林仲坤，意味深长地哦了一声。
"Perhaps Lady Lin is kind-hearted and benevolent, but these servants have become extremely audacious. Rest assured, Lord Lin, I will now proceed to interrogate them and will definitely provide you with an explanation."
Lin Zhongkun moistened his dry lips and spoke with difficulty: "I'm sorry to trouble Magistrate Ji, but my family has unfortunately encountered a rebellious slave. I will personally inquire about this matter and get to the bottom of it."
Regardless of the truth, since Liu Ma and Qian Guanshi have been identified, they must bear all the blame. It must be so.
"Uncle, it's better for you to avoid suspicion, after all, Liu Ma and Qian Guanshi are Second Aunt's people," Lin Yanyan walked in.
Lin Zhongkun's face darkened: "What? Are you suspecting your second sister-in-law?"
林晏晏不卑不亢道：“二叔，不是侄女要怀疑二婶，人是二婶的人，如果二叔插手，那二婶就真说不清了，要想还二婶清白，此案还是交由纪大人去审比较好，毕竟这是顺天府的案子，二叔您说呢？”
"Yan Yan makes a valid point, Er Ge. It's best if you don't get involved in this matter to avoid any complications," Lin Shu chimed in.
He indeed had ulterior motives for siding with Yan Yan. Over the years, Er Sao has been controlling the inner courtyard, suppressing the Zhou family from time to time. That was tolerable, as conflicts between sisters-in-law are normal. But it was unforgivable for Er Sao to falsify accounts and embezzle from the public funds, as well as stealing antiques and calligraphy left by Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law. This crossed the line and could not be tolerated.
Lin Zhongkun is determined in his decision. It will be too late to intervene when the situation becomes completely uncontrollable.
"What is there to explain? If one has done nothing wrong, there is no need to fear any accusations. Just interrogate the two troublemakers; there is no need for so much talk."
"Oh, then my niece should also come and listen, after all, they stole my belongings," Lin Yanyan said confidently.
Master Ji said, "Let's go together!"
Before everyone left the house, Guan Sheng came to report, "Sir, the culprit has confessed. This is their statement."
Lin Zhongkun was initially shocked, but then quickly calmed down. The fact that they recruited so quickly meant that Mrs. Liu and Mr. Qian must have taken on all the blame themselves.
Lin Yannan was anxious, hoping that the quick confession wouldn't turn out to be in vain.
After reading the testimony, Mr. Ji handed it over to Mr. Lin with a strange expression on his face, saying, "Take a look, Mr. Lin!"
Mr. Lin glanced at it, his face changed drastically, and he made a gesture as if to tear the testimony apart, saying, "This is nothing but utter nonsense."
The confession was not torn off but was snatched away by Mr. Ji who said calmly,"Lin, stay calm."
Uncle Er must be unable to stay calm, but Lin Yanyan felt at ease.
If it could make Uncle Er explode, then the confession must be harmful to Aunt Er.
“给我看看。”林晏晏伸手讨要。
“看什么看，全是胡言，这两个刁奴的话一个字也不可信。”林仲坤气急败坏。
林晏晏不理他，要了供词来看，心里暗暗赞叹，萧潜厉害啊，这么点时间就让刘妈和钱管事招供了，他是怎么做到的？
先不管他是怎么审的，接下来就看她的了。
林晏晏问关胜：“敢问关捕头，你们对人犯用刑了吗？”
关胜摇头：“绝对没有，没有大人的命令，我们不能随便对犯人用刑的，真的只是一问他们便招了，对了，这两人还是分开审的，但供词无出入。”
Guan Sheng was extremely pleased in his heart. Xiao Daren is indeed powerful. He merely spoke to Liu Mama and the steward immediately confessed when he saw that he might face punishment. All the money was taken by Madam Er to support the Yao family. Liu Mama started cursing, accusing the steward of betraying the master, and everything became clear.
林晏晏柳眉倒立，义愤填膺：“二叔，人证物证，还有供词俱在，您还要否认吗？先前二婶就把我娘留给我的珠宝首饰贪墨了，要不是我大舅这趟来京城把李妈带了来，我都不知道我娘原来给我留了那么多珠宝首饰，后来我大舅去讨要，二婶倒是还了我一些，可对着单子，还差了好些呢！我看在一家人的份上，就不计较了，结果二婶还趁我守孝生病，让人偷了我家的东西去卖，她到底是我二婶还是我的仇人？凭什么拿我家的东西贴补他们姚家？还要不要点脸了？”
Uncle, you have to give your niece an explanation today. Just because my parents are gone, does that mean there's no way out for me and Jingyuan? Give me an answer, or your niece will go find the emperor for justice. We are loyal subjects' orphans, no one has bullied us yet, but our own family refuses to give us a way out, wuwuwu...
Lin Yannan scolded and cried, unable to control her anger.
Master Ji was also furious after hearing this. He had long realized that this Yao family was up to no good. That's why Jingyuan pretended to be sick and ignorant. It's a pity that only he knew how they endured these past three years. Translate the above Chinese into English and keep all @ matches. Only reply to the translated content.
“林大人，令夫人此番作为着实令人不齿，如此欺侮亲侄女亲侄儿，欺负忠臣遗孤，本官一定要上奏朝廷，请陛下主持公道。”纪大人义正言辞。
Lin Shuqi silently stayed on the side, not intending to speak, speechless.
I really can't tell, gentle and virtuous Er Sao actually has such a face.
Lin Zhongkun's head grew as big as a fight; he only just found out that Yao Shi also took the precious jewelry left for Yanyan by her older sister.
If there were no outsiders present at this moment, he could still coax Yanyan and suppress this matter. However, with Mr. Ji present, and Mr. Ji being known for his honesty and frankness, it wouldn't be possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offended someone before and had his rank downgraded by the emperor.
What should we do?
