Chapter 252 - 241: Where is the Evidence?
The Zhou family members all had similar eyes, which is why she had never doubted Zhou Man’s heritage. Combined with the timing of Ms. Qian’s illness, she had even thought that Ms. Qian fell ill after giving birth to a daughter in her old age.
But now, it seemed that was not the case.
Ms. Liu’s feelings were complicated; she had always liked this young girl, but now, her fondness was mixed with a sense of guilt.
Daji appeared behind Ms. Liu without her knowing when.
Ms. Liu turned to glance at him before she stood up to leave, stopping only when she reached an open area in the garden.
This patch was planted with low-growing flowers and ginger that Shanbao had dug up to plant, so no one could hide there. The closest house was also a fair distance away; they wouldn’t be overheard here.
"Following your orders, from last night the two have been imprisoned separately, neither spoken to nor given food and drink. Now they’re beginning to break down, struggling in their rooms. Do you want to go and see?"
Ms. Liu thought for a moment and said, "No rush, it’s still too soon; let’s wait a while longer."
"Didn’t you say we should hand them over to Lord Wei?"
"We will hand them over, but the questioning must be done," Ms. Liu replied. "Lord Wei just arrived in Luojiang County today, he won’t leave until at least tomorrow, so we’re not in a hurry."
Although Wei Zhi was very reputable, she did not trust everyone indiscriminately. She would hand the people over, but the testimonies, which she needed, should be recorded in her possession too. Just in case... she might also have a chance to turn the tables.
