“Men, lock her up.” New novel chapters are published on

Mother Zhang’s expression immediately changed after hearing the old woman’s words. Her gaze was sharp as she ordered the guards to lock the old woman in the woodshed to guard her.

“Old Madam, I’m doing this for Madam’s good.”

The old woman did not expect Mother Zhang to lock her up and was so scared that she hurriedly begged for mercy. However, Mother Zhang did not have the time to deal with her at this moment. She waved her hand at the guard and ordered sternly,

“Take her away and shut her mouth.”

The maids and servants in the courtyard did not know what had happened. Old Madam Wang, who was locked up, used to be very favored. How did she suddenly offend the old lady?

At this moment, the old lady was in a fit of anger, and no one dared to plead for Old Madam Wang. The guards went over and pulled Old Madam Wang, who was crying and begging for mercy, up. They stuffed a torn cloth in her mouth and pulled her to the firewood room in the backyard.

Su Qing was suturing Luan Hong’s wound in the room. She frowned when she heard the commotion outside. At this moment, Luan Hong’s life and death were unknown. What was the commotion outside?

After Luan Hong’s wound was stitched up, Su Qing sprinkled a medicinal powder that would promote healing without leaving a scar on the wound. She wrapped it with gauze and covered Luan Hong with a thin blanket.

Luan Hong had only used half of the blood she had just drawn. The rest was stored in the system. Those who need it in the future can use it.

After dealing with Luan Hong, Su Qing carried the child out of the system and kept her in the thermal insulation chamber for a while. The child’s skin became ruddy, but she was still frail and needed to be taken care of carefully.

Su Qing gave the child some meat lingzhi water. The little girl drank it happily. The meat lingzhi water had the function of strengthening the body. Su Qing decided to leave the meat lingzhi in the Zhang residence and let them give the child some lingzhi water every day. When the child’s body became stronger, they would take it away.

When she woke up, Su Qing had just finished feeding the child with water. She still looked frail. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to ask about the child,

“Qing ‘ er, how is the child?”

“She’s very good. She’s a beautiful little girl.

Su Qing wrapped the child in a small bag and placed her next to Luan Hong’s pillow. The child seemed to feel her mother and instinctively turned to Luan Hong. Her eyes were even slightly open. Perhaps she felt wronged; she pouted and cried.

“Don’t cry.”

Luan Hong was anxious to carry the child, but Su Qing held her.

“Old Madam, I want a few people to come out for questioning.”

Su Qing told the old lady after handing the child to the nanny.

“Alright, Empress, please speak.”

Old Lady Zhang nodded in agreement. Su Qing called the names according to Luan Hong’s words.

” Qiuhong, Chunyan, Granny Wang, Laifu, Qing ’an.”

Qiu Hong and Chun Yan stood out first. What did the Empress call them for? They were trembling in fear.

Lafu and Qing An stood beside Qiuhong nervously. They were also afraid. They heard that the Empress killed without batting an eye. It was not good to call them out, right?

“Still missing one person?”

“Where’s Granny Wang?” Su Qing asked the old Madam when she saw only four of them.

“Replying to the Empress, Granny Wang slandered the Empress, so I sent someone to lock her in the woodshed.”

When Old Madam Zhang heard Su Qing’s question, she remembered that Old Madam Wang had run to speak ill of the Empress and was locked up by her.

“She said bad things about me?”

Su Qing raised an eyebrow. This made Old Madam Wang even more suspicious. “Yes, Old Madam Wang said that the hospital you opened killed pregnant women to make pills. She was afraid that you would kill Luan Hong, too.” The old lady nodded. When she repeated Old Madam Wang’s words, she looked at Su Qing worriedly, afraid that she would get angry.

The old lady was old but not muddle-headed. Such words were treasonous. If they were to spread, their entire family would be executed. That was why they had captured Old Madam Wang and waited for the Empress to come out to hand her over to prevent the entire Zhang family from being harmed.

“Ha, the rumors have already spread to your residence.

Su Qing sneered. This was the second time she had heard of killing a pregnant woman to refine pills. It was hard to be a good person! She had saved the reputation of a demoness who could bring disaster to the country.

Old Lady Zhang looked at Su Qing nervously, afraid she would blame the Zhang family. Su Qing took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart. Her gaze swept sharply across the four of them and asked in a deep voice,

“Have any of you have seen your madam’s shoes?”

“Shoes? I didn’t see it. At that time, Madam saw red. We were hurrying to find a doctor and didn’t notice.”

The two maids hurriedly shook their heads. Lafu wanted to say something but hesitated.

” What did you see?” Su Qing asked when she saw Lafu’s strange expression..
