After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 287 Breaking the situation

Chapter 287

Even though the Marquis' wife considered Lu Zhaozhao her goddaughter, her biological son undoubtedly held greater importance in her heart. Now that her son had been severely injured, she really wanted to understand why Lu Zhaozhao had done such a thing and what benefit it would bring to her.

That's right, even though Lu Zhaozhao's behavior was full of doubts at this time, the Marquis's wife was still skeptical about the matter.

At this moment, the Marquis's wife saw Lu Zhaozhao's pleading eyes and could no longer hold back. She asked, "Zhaozhao, I want to believe you, but this matter involves you too much. Tell me the truth. Why did Ah Xing's jade pendant appear in your yard?"

Everyone in the courtyard's eyes instantly focused on Lu Zhaozhao.

Ye Yunxing sat in a chair nearby, his lips slightly parted, as if about to speak. He was filled with confusion. When had the jade pendant he had always carried with him fallen into someone else's hands, and how had it become evidence that could incriminate someone else? Could this really have been done by Cousin Lu? If so, what was her motive?

What he hadn't anticipated, Ye Yunzhou had almost grasped the entire situation and its causes. He simply glanced at Luo Shuiyao, who had remained silent and lowered her gaze since Lu Zhaozhao entered the courtyard, and sighed inwardly. He was certain that Lu Zhaozhao had most likely orchestrated this incident himself. But what role had Yaoyao played in this? However, this wasn't the most important thing. Judging from the situation, she had likely been holding it in for a long time, so it might have been okay for him to have overlooked it before. Now that he knew, it was up to him to support her and seek justice for her.

Luo Shuiyao naturally noticed Ye Yunzhou's gaze. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she didn't look up to meet his gaze. She didn't want to speculate on his expression at the moment. After all, the drama had already begun. She didn't need to rush to the front of everything. She just needed to produce some evidence at the critical moment.

I think, no matter how confused the Marquis' wife is, the Loyal and Brave Marquis will not let her do whatever she wants, right?

While everyone was thinking about their own things, Lu Zhaozhao put together the excuse she had already prepared in her mind and said it out loud: "Aunt, ever since you asked me to go back to the yard to recuperate that day, I haven't left the yard for a single step, and the servants in my yard haven't walked around freely either. I really didn't know anything about this matter. Perhaps..."

At this point, she hesitated slightly, glancing at Luo Shuiyao vaguely, "Maybe someone deliberately put something in my yard, trying to frame me."

She said this tactfully, but the people in the courtyard were no fools and naturally saw the subtle hints in her words. Seeing this, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery frowned. Ye Yunzhou's eyes drooped slightly, and the coldness in his eyes grew even more intense. Even Ye Yunxing's eyes were filled with disappointment.

Only the Marquis's wife's eyes flickered with hesitation. She pondered over everything that had happened since yesterday, wondering, "How could this have happened so coincidentally? The Luo family maid had gone out for no apparent reason, only to rescue Ah Xing, and then this whole drama had unfolded. If she could use this opportunity to eliminate Zhao Zhao, she would be the only one left in the Marquis's mansion. Furthermore, if this was truly her doing, Ah Xing would undoubtedly be filled with gratitude after this incident, and perhaps even reveal her affair with Yuan Zheng herself."

Thinking this way, Madam Hou looked at Luo Shuiyao, who was looking down and silent. This girl usually appeared honest and loyal, but could she really be such a deep-minded person?

Seeing his mother's suspicious expression again, Ye Yunzhou couldn't help but defend Luo Shuiyao, saying, "Mother, the most important thing right now is to find out why Ah Xing's jade pendant, which he always carried with him, was lost. I've already found out that Ah Xing hasn't left the house in the past two days, so the jade pendant was most likely lost here. I previously asked Ye Yi to investigate this matter, and I think there should be a result soon. Mother, it's best not to jump to conclusions so soon."

The Marquis's thoughts were ruthlessly exposed by her own son, and she immediately looked embarrassed and glanced at Luo Shuiyao. Seeing that Luo Shuiyao still lowered her head, she suppressed her discomfort and nodded, saying, "You are doing things properly."

At this time, the mother and son were only busy talking, and no one noticed that a hint of anxiety flashed in Lu Zhaozhao's eyes after hearing Ye Yunzhou's words.
