Chapter 885: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (Part 7)

Housekeeper Song said respectfully, "Master, the eldest lady went to play the piano. As for the second lady, I don't know why she went to the small garden, but according to convention, the second lady should be sleeping at that time. When the news of the second lady falling into the water came, the maids in her room didn't believe it and thought she was taking a nap.

Regarding the drowning, the eldest daughter said it was the second daughter who fell into the water and she went to save her. The second daughter did not say why she fell into the water.

At the time of the incident, there were no other servants in the small garden. The old slave found out that Xiaoman, the maid who cleaned the small garden, had diarrhea after eating cakes with croton seeds. She said she found the cakes on the road, thinking they were lost by a maid, and couldn't help but eat them secretly.

The Prime Minister asked, "Where did the cakes come from? From the mansion or from outside?" "They weren't made in the mansion's kitchen. I tracked down the specific cake shop based on the oil paper that wrapped the cakes. And in the past two days, only Shihua, the maidservant in the Second Young Lady's courtyard, has gone out to buy those cakes."

"As for Qiulan, she took out an object after she woke up. She said it was worn by the person who knocked her out, and she tore it off when she struggled."

Butler Song hesitated, as if he didn't dare to take out the object.

The Prime Minister knew that the thing that made Butler Song hesitate must belong to one of the masters of the mansion.

"Show it up to me, and show it to me."

Butler Song held the object in both hands. Even Butler Song was familiar with it, let alone the Prime Minister, because it was a birthday gift from the Prime Minister to his second daughter.

The best jade keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. Now the pink string above the jade pendant is broken, and the broken end is not neat. It is definitely not cut with scissors. It really looks like it was torn apart.

The second daughter drugged and knocked out the maid, and even sneaked into the small garden. There were only her and Li'er in the small garden, so if she attacked from behind, Li'er might not be able to defend herself.

The Prime Minister has experienced a lot, but he would not think that his second daughter was joking. It was obvious that she had a secret that she could not tell. The second daughter probably did not expect that she would fall into the water.

As for the role his eldest daughter played in this, the prime minister believed that his eldest daughter was just lucky and was not assassinated to death. In this matter, she was at most a passive counterattacker.

Steward Song carefully looked up at his master's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't tell what the prime minister was thinking.

"Master, the lady is here."

The guard outside knocked on the door.

"Let her in."

The prime minister then asked the housekeeper to call his eldest and second daughters.

The moment the Prime Minister's wife entered the room, she saw the jade pendant on the table. Her expression changed. Why was her daughter's personal jade pendant here? Oh no! Butler Song had caught her foolish daughter.

She hurried forward to pay her respects and told the Prime Minister about what happened today, using the same words Song Qingli had said, in an attempt to cover up the matter.

But the Prime Minister was cold and indifferent. He glanced at his wife and said, "Li'er is always kind-hearted and doesn't know the dangers."

The Prime Minister's wife's expression was about to break. What did this mean? She wanted to speak, but was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes. And judging from the Prime Minister's expression, he didn't want her to speak either.

The second person to come was Song Qingting. Her yard was closer to the front yard, and she was quite afraid of her serious father. Although she acted tough in front of her mother, she was actually afraid that her father would find out something.

As soon as she arrived, she started complaining about how miserable she was when she fell into the water, and how she had to rest for two months and drink bitter medicine.

The Prime Minister did not say anything to express his sympathy for his daughter. Instead, he said, "Really? Then you should be more grateful to your elder sister for saving your life." Song Qingting couldn't help but her expression twisted. She thanked Song Qingli?

She fell into the water because of her defeat by Song Qingli. If Song Qingli hadn't pulled her, she wouldn't have fallen into the lake and wouldn't have had to struggle in the icy water.

The Prime Minister's face suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Song Qingting with his sharp eyes.

"Your eldest sister pulled you, but you fell into the lake? Why was it pulled, not pushed? You mean, your eldest sister didn't push you from behind? But pulled you from the front?"

It turned out that Song Qingting spoke out her true feelings in excitement, and the Prime Minister seized on her words and questioned her.

Song Qingting was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, not knowing how to defend herself. Could it be that Song Qingli had been pushed into the water by her at that time?

"There is a lake in front, and she pulled you into the lake? Did your elder sister fall into the water first, and you were watching on the shore? She wanted to get ashore, and accidentally pulled you in when she was struggling in the water?" Song Qingting was afraid to speak casually because of her father's keen sense. God knows why her father is so good at association!

She waved her hands quickly, not daring to say why she fell into the water. She now realized that falling into the water accidentally was the best reason.

"No, Dad, Ting'er didn't mean that!"
