Yan Ruzhuang immediately asked the steward to come over and dig the ground directly.

Xie Qiao waited calmly. As expected, after a short while, a piece of cloth was sent over. The cloth was wrapped around something. When she opened it, it was indeed a rusty pair of scissors.

Yan Ruzhuang was very shocked.

“Why is this pair of scissors here?” Even if something in the house was damaged and discarded, it would not be buried in the courtyard, right?

Moreover, this was a sharp weapon!

“The scissors are pointing toward the bedroom. Perhaps someone is upset with your mother and buried them in the courtyard as a curse,” Xie Qiao replied simply.

It was like burying a voodoo doll with one’s birth details engraved on it.

Yan Ruzhuang’s expression became serious. She immediately asked the steward to call all the servants in the main courtyard over.

In a short while, the servants stood in three rows. There were nannies and the old ladies who cleaned. All of them had their heads lowered.

“It’s her…” The ghoul carefully pointed at a person in the first row and said.

Xie Qiao looked over. This person’s clothes were still rather fresh, so she should be a personal nanny. It was strange.

At this moment, the nannies also saw the thing on the ground. There was panic in their eyes, but they still suppressed their emotions and tried their best to act as usual.

Xie Qiao did not hide it from Yan Ruzhuang and pointed out the person.

“It’s you? Granny Fang, you came to the family with my mother, no? Did my mother not treat you well? Why did you bury this thing in the courtyard to harm her?!” Yan Ruzhuang asked angrily.

Her voice also shocked Master Yan in the room.

Through the window, he found out that his daughter and this witch actually dug out something. His heart was greatly shocked and a little incredulous.

Of course, Granny Fang did not admit it.

However, since it was related to her mother, Yan Ruzhuang also became very serious. “It doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not. Since Sage Mo said that you did it, you can’t escape the responsibility! If you don’t explain clearly, it means that you have resentment in your heart and want to kill my mother! I’ll sell your whole family!”

As soon as she said that, Granny Fang immediately knelt down.

She had a son and daughter!

“Young Lady, please spare my life!” Her body trembled. “This old slave… was blinded! At that time, I was angry and buried the thing. I-I forgot about it later…”

These words were true!

She really forgot about this tiny matter later on!

“Angry? My mother didn’t treat you well enough?! What’s there to be angry about?!” Yan Ruzhuang felt upset.

What did her mother do wrong? That she was being schemed against?

“It’s because this old servant is narrow-minded…” Granny Fang cried and repeatedly kowtowed, “That year, this old servant and Granny Lian took care of Madam together. In the past, Madam was closer to me, but at that time, because Granny Lian coaxed her, Madam liked her more. Before and after Madam gave birth… the reward she received was more than twice as much as mine. Behind her back, someone gossiped about this old servant. I was angry, so… Young Lady, please spare my life. It’s all my fault, it has nothing to do with my family…”

Everything in the house was recorded in a book.

With the addition of a pair of scissors, Granny Fang could easily guess where it came from.

Logically speaking, she should either throw it away or register it. However, she was upset at the time and buried it when no one was around. The tip of the scissors was aimed at the house to vent her anger.

Later on, when Madam fell ill, her att.i.tude toward any of the nannies was the same. The house was in a mess and she completely forgot about this matter.

Yan Ruzhuang was so angry that she felt uneasy. She never thought that a person’s jealousy could be so terrifying.

Just because of those rewards, her mother’s long-standing affection was forgotten?!
