The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 136 Apologize with death?

But his ability will be questioned and his political achievements will be affected.

But he had no right to blame Jian Yue. After all, as his biological daughter, it was a fact that Jian Yue had suffered so many years in the Jian family, and it was reasonable for her to feel resentful.

Xie Chujiao stood beside Yan Xiuyuan with a look of guilt and sadness, blaming herself: "Master, it's my fault. I didn't expect Jian Dacheng and his wife to be so bold as to secretly swap the baby. Poor Yue'er has suffered so much for so many years."

"Master, don't get yourself sick from anger. They can't run away anyway. Have a glass of water and calm down your anger. It won't be too late to interrogate them later."

After returning to the Yan Mansion, Xie Chujiao diligently asked Biyu to make tea and serve fruit, and tried her best to calm Yan Xiuyuan's anger.

And Nanny Liang quietly retreated at her suggestion.

The Jian family was imprisoned in the government prison.

Because they were waiting to bring Jian Huaian here for trial, so the Jian family was detained for the time being.

Nanny Liang revealed her identity as the mansion master's wife and successfully entered the government prison.

The prison was damp and dark, the air was turbid, and there was an indescribable stench in the air.

The three members of the Jian family were locked up together. Qian cried and laughed, muttering: "It's over, it's over, I'm going to die. Xinning? Is Xinning here? My daughter is the daughter of the mansion owner, haha! I want to enjoy the good life with my daughter." She was conscious and confused, looking crazy.

Jian Dacheng's mind was still clear. He didn't care to panic at this moment, and was desperately thinking about how to get rid of the crime.

Jian Xiaohe felt that her brain was not enough. Before she could fully understand what was going on, she was arrested and thrown into prison. Panic, fear, confusion, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, turning into a paste in her mind.

Seeing Madam Liang, Jian Dacheng's gray eyes lit up. He crawled over eagerly, lay on the iron gate, and said incoherently: "I want to see Madam Yan and ask her to save us. If she doesn't save us..."

"Shh..." Madam Liang motioned him to be quiet. She looked behind her and saw that the jailer had not followed her. She then whispered, "Jian Dacheng, I don't have much time. Please listen carefully. As long as you follow Madam's instructions, Madam will protect the lives of your entire family."

……

After Madam Liang left, Jian Dacheng looked at the unconscious Qian, with a cruel look in his eyes. He carried Jian Xiaohe on his back and took off his belt...

Xie Chujiao was talking to Yan Xiuyuan in a gentle voice about Yan Xinning: "Xinning is also a child with a miserable life. She was just a swaddling baby at the time and didn't know what her parents did. Master, Xinning has been raised by us for five or six years. She is well-behaved, filial, and polite. She is a kind and good child, and we have developed a deep relationship. It would be too unfair to drive her out because of her parents."

Yan Xiuyuan had a cold expression and remained silent.

Xie Chujiao sighed heavily: "Master, the Second Prince has already promised to give Xin Ning the status of a good wife. If we drive Xin Ning out at this time, it would be a slap in the face of the Second Prince!"

Yan Xiuyuan stood up suddenly and was about to say something when Butler Yan came in hurriedly: "Master, someone from the government office came and said that Jian Dacheng strangled Qian to death."

"Ah!" Xie Chujiao was so scared that she knocked over the chair. Fortunately, Biyu was quick to catch her in time and prevented her from falling.

Yan Xiuyuan glanced at her and saw that she was frightened. His heart softened and he said, "Biyu, take good care of your wife." After that, he strode out.

After making sure Yan Xiuyuan had left, Xie Chujiao pushed Biyu's hand away, sat down on the chair with a calm expression and asked, "Is Madam Liang back?"

Biyu replied respectfully: "Madam, I'm back."

"Go and call Madam Liang."

After Nanny Liang arrived, she reported to Xie Chujiao about her meeting with the Jian family.

"Madam, I have made it clear to Jian Dacheng. As long as he takes full responsibility for the crime, Madam will protect their entire family. I have also told them that Miss Xinning will soon be the concubine of the Second Prince, and the Second Prince will find a way to protect them."

Xie Chujiao curled her lips slightly: "As long as he believes it, it's fine."

Madam Liang said confidently, "The only person they can rely on is Madam. If they don't believe me, they will die."

If you believe it, you will die faster!

This is something that both Xie Chujiao and her servant know very well.

After Jian Huaian was brought over, Yan Xiuyuan immediately interrogated Jian Dacheng.

The punishment has not started yet! Jian Dacheng confessed his crime. He said he killed Qian because she was crazy. Anyway, they committed the capital crime, so they had to die sooner or later.

As for what happened that year, he insisted that he picked up the child from the bushes when he went up the mountain to burn incense. Later, the couple secretly went to the temple to inquire, and only then did they know that the wife of the new mansion master died of dystocia and the newborn child was missing. They did not dare to send the child back, fearing that they would be arrested as human traffickers. Later, they raised the child in fear until he was five or six years old. Once, when Jian Dacheng came to Yanling Mansion and passed by the mansion master's mansion, he had the idea of ​​passing off a fake child as the real one.

As for his three children, they were not aware of this matter.

These were all one-sided statements from Jian Dacheng. Because there was no evidence, it was impossible to tell whether his words were true or false. Even the swaddling clothes that the child was wrapped in were burned by the couple.

Yan Xiuyuan felt that there were many doubts in Jian Dacheng's confession and was about to torture him for a retrial when Butler Yan came outside to ask for a meeting.

If it's not an important matter, Steward Yan won't come to the government office. Yan Xiuyuan let him in.

Butler Yan looked anxious: "Master, the lady and the young lady fell into the water."

Yan Xiuyuan's face turned pale with shock: "What's going on?"

"Miss Xinning was so sad that she jumped into the lotus pond. Madam went to pull her out in a hurry and also fell into the pond. Now Madam and Miss are both unconscious. Master, please go back and take a look!"

The interrogation had to be stopped. Yan Xiuyuan gave the warden a few words and left in a hurry.

After Jian Yue returned from the county government office, she locked herself in the room, saying that she needed some quiet time.

Yun Zhonghe asked about what happened, shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid the final result of this case will not meet Yue Yatou's expectations."

Doctor Mao said: "At least Jian Dacheng and Qian Shi can't escape the punishment of the law. As long as these two culprits are dead and Yue Yatou is away from the Jian family, she will no longer be entangled and dragged down by the Jian family in the future."

In the evening, Jian Yue walked out of the room and said to the two masters: "I will go to see the results of the interrogation tomorrow to see if I can participate in the interrogation."

However, that night, Jian Dacheng hanged himself in his cell.

Before his death, Jian Dacheng left a blood letter, saying that he knew he had committed a grave sin, and therefore he was willing to die to atone for his crime. He only hoped that the government would let the three innocent children go.

The next morning, Jian Yue went to the government office and immediately learned the news that Jian Dacheng had committed suicide.

When Yan Xiuyuan learned that she had arrived, he was very excited and immediately asked Yan Wu to go to the door to welcome her in.

Jian Yue meets Yan Xiuyuan...
