“Think about it carefully. From yesterday to today, what have you seen in your family that’s different from before?”

As Lin Suisui gestured for the eldest daughter not to be anxious, she praised the eldest daughter’s intelligence and wit. Thinking of the dazed woman she had seen in the Song family previously, Lin Suisui felt that if she had really been falsely accused, for the sake of these children, she could help.

However, the premise was that Song Zhou really didn’t poison Old Madam Guo.

The eldest daughter lowered her head and thought about it carefully for a long time before looking up at Lin Suisui and asking tentatively, “Father came back very early last night. Does that count?”

“Of course.” Lin Suisui nodded and replied gently, “As long as it’s something different from usual, it counts.

“Other than coming back early last night, was there anything else wrong with your father?”

“Yes!” After receiving Lin Suisui’s affirmation, the eldest daughter answered smoothly, “Father has always come back from the shop quite late. Moreover, every time he comes back, he instructs us and Mother to move things for him. If we’re slow, he’ll hit us.

However, last night, my father seemed to have become a different person when he returned. Not only didn’t he instruct us to do chores, but he also took the initiative to go to the kitchen to talk to my mother.

When we returned to our room to sleep, our father had yet to come out of the kitchen.

Then, when we woke up this morning, Grandma was dead. Our father’s demeanor changed and he said that her mother was a vicious woman and that she was the one who poisoned Grandma with the egg custard she made yesterday!

Seeing that my father was about to kill my mother with a knife, I was very frightened. Fortunately, the second child ran out quickly and went next door to invite Grandma Luo to help. Then, Uncle Fang came over and stopped my father. They said that my father was wrong. Even if my mother poisoned his mother to death, he should report it to the officials first!

However, my father was unwilling. He said that my mother had poisoned his mother to death and that he wanted to kill her for revenge.

When they were not paying attention, I came over to ask you for help!

“Madam, my mother was really falsely accused. She definitely didn’t kill Grandma. Please save her!”

As she spoke, she knelt in front of Lin Suisui again and kowtowed to her a few times. If Yuan Niang didn’t reach out and helped her up from the ground, she would probably have bled.

“Get Su Le to prepare a carriage. Let’s go over and take a look.” The eldest daughter’s words were very clear. If what she said was true, there must be something fishy going on!

For the sake of these three girls, she also wanted to go over and see what was going on.

After receiving Lin Suisui’s instructions, Su Le prepared very quickly. Soon, he drove the carriage to the food shop where Mrs. Luo and the others were.

Because of the Song family’s murder, there was a sea of people here. It was filled with commoners who had come to watch the commotion.

Seeing Lin Suisui come over, Mrs. Luo, who was standing at the door and looking anxiously in the direction of the Song family, was shocked. As she quickly came forward to greet her, she said worriedly, “Why are you here now? There’s a sea of people here. What if you get hurt?”

“She went over to ask me for help. After 1 heard her explain what happened, I felt that something was amiss, so 1 came over to take a look.” As Lin Suisui comforted Mrs. Luo, she gestured for Su Le to bring people over to take a look.

“That’s right. No matter how you look at it, this matter is strange.” Seeing that Lin Suisui was here for this matter, Mrs. Luo told Lin Suisui everything that had happened in the morning.

“Old Madam Guo raised Song Jianxing as a widow for many years. He’s her only son.

He had been guarding the dry goods shop that his father had bought back then for so many years! He usually stayed in the shop and only returned when it was dark every night.

Don’t ask me how I knew. As soon as he returned, I would always hear him scolding and instigating people!

Last night, he came back early, but there was no movement. 1 even mentioned to the old man that the eldest son next door had not returned for the entire night, but he started causing trouble before dawn.

The second child came over to inform us that the little girl wasn’t even dressed properly when she stumbled over to shout for help. How could I dare to delay? I immediately went over with the old man. At that time, I saw the eldest son chasing after his wife with a knife!

Fortunately, our oldest son also rushed over to stop him!

Our oldest son said that no matter what, since someone died, they have to report it to the officials! When the officials came over to investigate, they would have the final say!

However, Song Jianxing refused and insisted that his wife had poisoned his mother and wanted to kill her to avenge his mother!

Constable Wang, who was working in the government, heard the news and came over to stop Song Jianxing!

At this moment, someone from the government office is coming to investigate!”

“Then let’s wait for the letter.” Lin Suisui nodded. Seeing that Su Le had not returned yet, she wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, she followed Mrs. Luo into the backyard and sat down to listen to the commotion next door.

Su Le left quickly and returned quickly.

Because of Lu Ze’s identity, the entire county governor’s office was very familiar with Su Le! When they saw him come over, they were extremely polite and told him everything that had happened without hiding anything.

The results of the government’s investigation weren’t much different from what Lin Suisui had heard from her eldest daughter and Mrs. Luo.

However, there was one thing that Lin Suisui couldn’t figure out. She frowned slightly as she looked at Su Le and asked, “Why is it always others condemning her from the beginning to the end? What about Song Zhou? Didn’t she say anything?”

“No.” Su Le shook his head and said angrily, “1 heard from the woman in charge of guarding her that she hasn’t said a word since she was imprisoned. Other than crying non-stop, she hasn’t said a word.”

“Go ask around and see if it’s convenient for her neighbor. If there’s a way, 1 want to see her.” Lin Suisui knew very well why Su Le was so angry. Now, her daughters were thinking of a way to save her mother’s life, but her mother did nothing but cry.

Wasn’t this letting down the children’s sincerity?!
