Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 961

Leila had heard that Zoey was investigating the servants in Valor Estate, but she had no idea what it was about. When she was brought in, she wore an expression of complete confusion.

It wasn't until Zoey questioned her about having coffee with a friend from her hometown the day before Rebecca's funeral that Leila realized what was happening.

She quickly dropped to her knees and confessed, "Madam Zoey, that day, the person I had coffee with was a close friend of mine. She's a maid at Lester Estate. She mentioned she'd be returning to our hometown and asked if I had any messages for my family. She also invited me to go shopping for some gifts together..."

Having been questioning for a long time, Zoey grew a bit impatient. She interrupted and asked bluntly, "Did she ask you to pass on any messages to Aurora that day?"

Leila thought for a moment, then replied, "Yes, she asked me to tell Madam Aurora that Mrs. Lester would also be attending Madam Rebecca's funeral."

"Did she give you anything to deliver to Aurora?"

"Yes, she gave me a package of herbal medicine."

"What kind of herbal medicine?"

"I remember it was Moonroot."

"Was there any note or message hidden in the package?"

Leila shook her head. "I don't know. After I relayed the message, Madam Aurora dismissed me right away."

After finishing, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! Wait, there might have been something. Later, when I returned to serve her, I noticed some ashes on the ground, like burnt paper."

Zoey asked if there was anything else, but after thinking for a long time, Leila confirmed there wasn't. Zoey then instructed someone to escort Leila out.

Viola had been coming to the side hall repeatedly, asking the servants questions. This time, she arrived just in time to hear Zoey ordering someone to take Leila out.

Viola frowned and asked, "Zoey, what exactly are you investigating? You haven't explained anything to me, yet you've turned the whole household upside down. The servants are all either hiding or slacking off. I can't even get someone to bring me coffee, let alone prepare dinner. It's already late and the kitchen staff hasn't even started cooking!"

Zoey glanced at her and replied coolly, "I'm done questioning. You can handle the servants however you see fit."

With that, she instructed Jane to take Leila along and turned to leave.

"She's a maid from Valor Estate. What are you taking her for?" Viola called out from behind, but Zoey ignored her and hurried off.

Leila was nervous and confused. She had no idea what was going on, but with both Barrett and Aurora arrested, she was terrified.
