Chapter 479 Lesson
479 Lesson
After Su Le thought about the structure of the courtyard next door, she quickly gave a good suggestion, "That's not difficult. I'll go over and ask the constable over there to let you in through the back door."
After obtaining Lin Suisui's approval, Su Le quickly went over to make arrangements.
Not long after, he rushed over again and told Lin Suisui that things had already been arranged.
After Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment, she called Mrs. Luo over.
After all, she had only met Song Zhou once. In comparison, Mrs. Luo was more familiar with her.
Mrs. Luo didn't refuse Lin Suisui's arrangement. She simply followed behind her and entered the Song residence through the back door.
In order to prevent anything from happening to the suspect, Constable Wang, who was in charge of investigating this case, was also very cautious. He asked the woman to confine Song Zhou alone in a warehouse in the backyard. This made it convenient for Lin Suisui and the others to meet Song Zhou.
"What's the use of crying here? Can't you just say if you killed anyone or not?"
As soon as Mrs. Luo entered, she was angered by Song Zhou's tears and she couldn't help but scold Song Zhou, "Your eldest daughter, the second child, and the third child have put in a lot of effort for you. They went around begging people to seek justice for you. As a mother, you could have explained things, but you only know how to cry here!"
"I have no choice. What's the point of me explaining? Who will believe me?" Song Zhou looked up at Mrs. Luo with tears in her eyes.
The person who accused her of murder was her husband!
Who would believe that her husband would poison his mother? Therefore, even if she said that she didn't make the bowl of egg custard last night, who would believe her?
At that time, there was no outsider in the family to be a witness for her. Now, she couldn't defend herself!
"You're so muddle-headed!" Mrs. Luo was so angered by Song Zhou's words that her entire body was trembling. If not for the fact that there was an old woman watching, she might have slapped her twice to make her come to her senses.
"You're so sure that others won't believe you without even saying it. What's the difference between you and the chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered? Besides, you're only thinking about yourself. Have you thought about your three girls?
"Have you ever thought about what your three girls would do if you were really accused of murder this time and got executed?
"They have a mother whose reputation has been ruined like you and an outrageous father. Have you thought about what will happen to them in the future?!"
Mrs. Luo's words were like a slap to Song Zhou's face. Song Zhou came back to her senses.
That's right. If she was really executed for killing her mother-in-law, what would happen to her three children? With a biological mother like her, their future…
"It wasn't me. I didn't make that egg custard!" After understanding the seriousness of the matter, Song Zhou couldn't be bothered to cry anymore. She suddenly looked up and explained agitatedly to the woman at the side, "Last year, when my eldest daughter was sick, I cooked egg custard for her a few times behind my mother-in-law's back. One time, when my mother-in-law, who had returned 20:39
early, happened to see me, she was furious and she scolded me for a few days.
From then on, my mother-in-law was the one who made all the dishes in our family. Even if my husband came back at night and said that he wanted to eat egg custard, he had to get eggs from my mother-in-law's room.
Last night, my husband came back early. He said that there was finally a result for the loan after a long time. Every time he came back at night, he would throw a tantrum, but yesterday, for once, he didn't flare up. The three children had to go to the medical center early in the morning the next day, so I let them sleep first.
My husband said that he wanted to eat egg custard and he personally went to my mother's room to get three eggs. He said that I had been working hard at home, so he wanted to steam two bowls and asked me to eat them with him.
I was going to guard the kitchen, but my mother-in-law suddenly called me, so I went over. When I came out of my mother-in-law's room later, my husband told me that he had left a bowl of egg custard in the kitchen for me to eat quickly.
However, when her mother-in-law heard this, she scolded me for being greedy and asked me to prepare water to help my husband wash up.
I originally planned to wait for my husband to wash up and let the three children taste it, but when I came out of the room and went to the kitchen, the egg custard had already been eaten.
Thinking that my mother-in-law had always been like this, I didn't think too much about it. After washing up, I returned to my room to sleep.
When I returned, my husband even asked me if I had eaten the bowl of custard. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I nodded at him.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up this morning and was about to help my mother-in-law get up, I saw my mother-in-law… She was lying in the middle of the bedroom with blood flowing from her seven orifices. She was already dead!
When my husband heard my scream, he followed me over. When he saw my mother-in-law, he ran out to get a knife and wanted to slash me. He said that I had poisoned Madam Sun and wanted to kill me to avenge her!
But I really didn't poison my mother-in-law!"
"You mean that you did steam egg custard last night, but that was your husband's idea, right?" Lin Suisui looked at Song Zhou. Although her tone was anxious, her eyes didn't shift. It was obvious that she wasn't lying.
In that case, Song Jianxing was very suspicious!
"Yes!" Song Zhou nodded repeatedly and replied affirmatively, "After my husband comes back every night, I would always prepare some food for him.
I originally planned to cook noodles for him last night, but my husband said that he had returned a little early and wasn't too hungry, so if I made noodles, he might not be able to finish them and I might as well steam an egg custard instead.
Later, when I was boiling water in the kitchen, he took the initiative to go to Madam Sun's room to get the eggs.
I prepared the egg custard and sent it into the steamer. Later on, because my mother-in-law asked me to go over, I didn't stay in the kitchen anymore. Later on, the egg custard was steamed until it was out of the pot. In the end, it was eaten by my husband and Madam Sun. I didn't touch it again."
Lin Suisui nodded and lowered her eyes to think for a moment before looking up at Song Zhou and asking, "Then, can you still find the bowl of steamed eggs from last night?"
"Yes!" Song Zhou nodded affirmatively. "Because I was the one who tidied up the kitchen yesterday. I placed the two bowls of egg custard in the cupboard after washing them. They were right at the top. There's no way I could mistake it!"
