Chapter 22 Dog bites dog.

This woman was always easy to talk to before, why did she become so unreasonable now?

Shen Yun'an knew that if Xu Yuan reported the matter to the government and let the Duke's Mansion know about it, the impact would be huge.

After all, the whole thing was caused by Jiang Yuan. As long as this man was dealt with, the matter would be over.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an looked at Jiang Yuan with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Jiang Yuan, why don't you tell the truth now!"

"My Lord, it is true that I had some thoughts when I saw the silver, but I swear I have no intention of murdering the old lady."

"Really?" Xu Yuan said coldly.

"Doctor Jiang, you can explain why you used ordinary herbs to pretend to be expensive herbs, and asked for 500 taels of silver."

"At this point, you still say you have no intention of murdering me?"

"Or do you think these things can be concealed from the world!"

Cui Liu stepped forward at the right time, and she came to Jiang Yuan's side, "Doctor Jiang, the housekeeper has already told the lady about these things."

Jiang Yuan, who was originally just shocked by Xu Yuan's knowledge of the truth, completely collapsed after hearing what Cui Liu said.

Thinking of what the housekeeper said before, the guards were all secretly helped by him, which allowed him to succeed smoothly.

Jiang Yuan seemed to understand something, and shouted angrily, "This housekeeper actually dared to stab me in the back!"

Shen Yun'an was about to convict Jiang Yuan, and then have someone drag him away and secretly deal with him in private, but he didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing.

When Jiang Yuan said the name of the housekeeper, the people present were shocked, including Shen Yun'an and Old Madam Shen.

As they were shocked, Xu Yuan asked incredulously, "Jiang Yuan, what exactly do you mean by backstabbing?"

"Could it be that the butler..."

Jiang Yuan seemed to accept his fate and no longer struggled like before.

"My Lord, Madam, and Old Madam, now that things have come to this, I will tell you the truth. The reason why I offered five hundred taels and used ordinary medicine to pretend to be expensive medicinal materials was that the butler instructed me to do it." "

At first I was worried, and the butler threatened to expose it. As for the warehouse, I found that there was a problem with the lock, but this is the Marquis's mansion after all, how could I have the courage to steal directly? It was the butler who said that he could help me transfer the guards guarding the warehouse away, so I succeeded."

Jiang Yuan told everything with an attitude that he would not let the butler have an easy time even if he was caught.

Shen Yun'an and Old Madam Shen opened their eyes wide, completely dumbfounded. Even if they suspected that there was an insider in this mansion, they never thought that this insider was actually the butler.

Many maids and women also whispered, all of them were shocked by Jiang Yuan's words.

Xu Yuan didn't think that things would go more smoothly than she expected. In this way, it was only the housekeeper's side, and then...

Her eyes fell on Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an noticed Xu Yuan's gaze, and when he thought of his previous protection, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

"My Lord, since Jiang Yuan has made such a conclusion, why not bring the housekeeper here and let the two of them confront each other?"

Shen Yun'an could only respond in a deep voice. He already had a guess about this matter.

Even though Old Madam Shen was angry, the matter was in front of her, so she didn't say anything.

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from behind the rockery not far away.

"Who! Who's there!"

Cui Liu rushed over directly, and then the guards came forward together.

But when they saw who made the noise, the guards were dumbfounded.

Xu Yuan raised the corners of her lips. As early as the news of Jiang Yuan's arrest came out, she had someone tell the housekeeper.

Given the housekeeper's temperament, he would definitely come to investigate.

And she was waiting for now!

Seeing that there was no response from the rockery, Xu Yuan asked Cui Liu who had already chased after him, "Cui Liu, have you caught the person?" "

Who on earth is hiding behind the rockery and eavesdropping on us so secretly!"

Xu Yuan said angrily.

Soon Cui Liu turned back from the rockery, and behind her there were people being escorted forward by the guards.

Shen Yun'an and Old Lady Shen also walked forward at this time, wanting to see who was hiding behind the rockery.

"Isn't this the housekeeper?"

A maid said in surprise, and quickly realized that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth.

Old Lady Shen's face was so ugly that she was shaking all over while holding the child.

Seeing this, Cui Liu hurriedly said, "Old Lady, let me hold the young master."

She looked at the old lady like this, afraid that she would faint at any time, and she couldn't let the young master have any mishaps.

Old Madam Shen was so angry. Shen Yun'an, who was standing by, was also worried about his mother's condition. He whispered, "Mother, please give Yi'er to Cui Liu first."

When Old Madam Shen heard her son say this, she could only give the child to Cui Liu first.

Cui Liu breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the child.

"Butler, you have been in the mansion for decades. I never thought you would do such a thing!"

Shen Yun'an kicked the butler.

The butler's injury from the punishment had not yet healed completely. Now he was kicked by Shen Yun'an again. He almost fainted from the pain.

He stared at the tied Jiang Yuan hatefully and argued hurriedly, "My lord, my lady, it's true that I recommended Jiang Yuan here, but I really didn't know anything about what he did."

Jiang Yuan was furious when he saw that the butler was going to put all the blame on him, "What do you mean I didn't know? You know all these things very well. You said before that your wife was pregnant, and your lady trusted you, so no one in this mansion dared to go against you!"

"My lady, my lord, this butler also cooked the accounts and passed inferior medicinal materials off as good ones, and the remaining silver all went into his pocket."

"Jiang Yuan, shut up!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan spilling out everything, the butler was really panicked. Xu

Yuan suddenly realized, "No wonder I found the accounts wrong these two days, it turned out that you were the one who was causing trouble."

"Butler, you are really brave!

" "Come on, send these two people to the government together!"

Shen Yun'an frowned, and was about to speak when he heard Xu Yuan ask, "My Lord, do you have any questions now?"

Shen Yun'an's heart trembled when he met Xu Yuan's eyes.

He knew that if he said anything more at this time, people would think that he was deliberately covering up.

"Old lady, please save me, even if I did these things, it was for you."

Seeing that these people were really going to send him to the government, the butler panicked and hurriedly asked for help from Old Lady Shen.

"Shut up, what does this have to do with me!"

Old Lady Shen never thought that the butler would point the spearhead at herself, and shouted loudly.
