Mei Ling blurred her eyes and looked at Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong waved his hand and ordered a small white jade pot to be handed over. He put it heavily on the table and said, "this white jade pot is filled with superior honey. There are no other things in the Chaifang, but there are many insects. If you don't tell the truth, Zhao will smear the honey on you."
After that, Zhao Zhong stood up and went with him. Mei Ling stares round her eyes, purses her lips and shakes her head.
"Do you want to be tough now?" Zhao Zhong asked, "Meiling, you are a maid. You have to listen to the master. No one blames you for this. We all know that you are in trouble. But now what the Marquis wants to hear most is what he wants. It doesn't matter what the truth is.
It doesn't matter whether the fifth lady has poisoned or not. Do you understand? "
Mei Ling bit her lip and watched Zhao Zhong get closer and closer. She tightened her fingers slightly and nodded her head heavily. Although Zhang's is treats her not to be thin, but after all she is only a maid. On weekdays, everything that should be hit and scolded falls.
Her resistance to this has given Zhang's respect.
The Marquis forced her to do this. If she didn't tell the truth, she would be tortured to death.
"I... I know..."
Mei Ling nodded and said with tears, "the fifth lady was wronged. The maid wronged her... The maid was wrong... The maid was wrong..."
"Who wronged the fifth lady?" Although Zhao Zhong understood the meaning of her words, she didn't say it herself, and he couldn't do it here.
"It's the first lady..." Mei Ling said, "it's the first lady who asked me to frame the fifth lady..."
"The eldest lady is lying there. Why did she order you to frame it up?" Zhao Zhong picks eyebrows.
Mei Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a heavy voice: "yes... It was planned by her wife. She ate a little powder to make her own dystocia. She thought it was just pain, but she didn't think it was so serious."
Zhao Zhong's heart sank heavily. Although he coerced Mei Ling into telling the truth, he didn't expect that the truth sounded so frightening.
In order to deal with a concubine, a lady in the main room should use these means.
"Are you telling the truth or the lie?" Zhao Zhongxuan didn't ask.
"Naturally, it's true... These days, the fifth lady doesn't respect her. She often gets angry with her because of the love of the marquis. For a moment, my wife was so angry that she came up with such an idea. "
Mei Ling said.
Zhao Zhong chokes. If Meiling's words are true, he can't tell the Marquis all at once. If you talk to the Marquis, he should go to argue with the old lady and return Li Niang justice.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Zhong called someone and sent a message to call red aunt.
……
Yujiao courtyard.
For three days, Zhang was asleep. In the morning of the fourth day, I finally came back to myself. The old lady took Bai ruotong to visit Zhang. When she saw Zhang lying on the bed, her breath fell together and she called it hard.
She was so haggard that her eyes were sunken. She had a son, but now she looks as if she is seriously ill.
The old lady sighed with pity, carrying Zhang's hand and said, "Zhang, is it still painful?"
Zhang's lips moved, hoarse way out two words: "child."
"You are still weak and can't see the baby. It's not too late to see you when you are well." The old lady shook her head and let go of Zhang's hand. Tears blurred Zhang's eyes. She shook her head and said, "my child... My child..."
The old lady couldn't resist her, so she called the nurse and put the baby in front of her. Looking at the child in front of him, Zhang raised his head and said in a low voice, "what name did the master give him?"
