"Lv Yi, just tell me clearly what exactly happened that day," the old lady said as she raised her eyes to look at her. "If you can't explain it, then go and be Zi Tian's companion."

For a servant to hide his intentions from his master, there was no use in keeping him.

Hearing this, Lv Yi's body that was kneeling at the foot of the hall shivered, he knew that the old lady was not joking. Furthermore, at this time, let alone thinking about the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun saving her, even if she had to mention it, she could not mention these two by herself, or else the outcome would be even worse.

At this moment, she could only save herself.

While holding a grudge towards Hong Tao in her heart, she kowtowed and said, "This servant did indeed meet Hong Tao in the pavilion that day. At that time, the rain was heavy and urgent, so even though this servant has the umbrella in her hands, I still wanted to avoid the rain and only return after the rain had subsided. Please forgive me, madame. I was afraid that you would punish me, so I said I had no choice but to stay in the pavilion. "Actually, I was lazy that day."

After that, he kowtowed a few more times, and said: "This servant saw Hong Tao holding onto the kite, and was afraid that she might get wet from the rain. I even specially sent her to the second room. At that time, the maidservant who came to open the door was Mei Xiang.

Soon, Mei Xiang was summoned. She proved that Lv Yi and Hong Tao went to the Second Room together with her under the umbrella.

"Old madam, Hong Tao said that she met a servant in the pavilion that was under the shelter of the rain, but it was definitely not a servant that gave medicine on the kite, at that time the kite was always in Hong Tao's hands, although the servant gave her a ride, but if the servant gave medicine, Hong Tao would definitely have been able to see it, but why didn't she inform the servant at that time? Instead, she pointed out this servant today? Furthermore, this servant is only a servant, and has no enmity with the Third Young Master's Second Miss. On the other hand, Hong Tao probably hated Zi Tian for her master and wanted to avenge him. "

Although she was afraid, Lv Yi calmed down even more. She knelt down on the ground. Although her tone was unstable due to the punishment, she had clearly explained everything that had happened.

Hong Tao had originally wanted to say that she had something to take care of and left for a while. But if this matter involved Lv Yi, then what was Lv Yi's motive? Since she had no enmity with Xie Wanqing and him, then she could only be ordered by someone else, and Lv Yi was Xie Wanyun's personal servant. Other than Xie Wanyun, she would not listen to anyone else.

Once Xie Wanyun got out, the matter of saving Zi Tian would be finished.

Hong Tao had only wanted to let Lv Yi shoulder this burden so that she could retreat safely. But in her desperation, she had forgotten that Lv Yi and Xie Wanyun shared the same breath.

Hong Tao remained silent.

It seemed like there was nothing more to say. It was equivalent to tacit agreement.

Madame Huang couldn't hold back his anger anymore, furthermore, since Xie Huaixing was involved in this, seeing how Lv Yi was acting like she was the target of her words, the anger in her heart rushed up, and slapped the table while berating: "You're good, Hong Tao, you killed two birds with one stone, and dragged my son to the third young miss, sure enough, you came from the same nest as your little sister, who dared to harm Master after eating that ambitious leopard!"

As he spoke, he gestured for the woman beside him to slap him.

The matter of Xie Huaixing getting sick without reason did not happen in his previous life. Back then, when Xie Wanqing slandered her and caused her to be punished to kneel at the buddhist hall, he kept it in his heart. When he saw him, he became annoyed.

As a result, Xie Wanqing did not know who was the one that added the medicine on the kite, but she could not leave Xie Wanyun and the Concubine Fang. Now that Hong Tao had pulled Lv Yi out of the trap, coupled with Xie Wanyun's previous reaction, there was a high chance that Xie Wanyun was the culprit behind the attack.

But just like the Concubine Fang, Xie Wanyun had always been liked by Xie Kai. She had been a lady since she was young, and on the surface, she was still the sister of Xie Wanqing's mother, so no one would believe that she was the one who harmed Xie Wanqing.

Hence, for today's matter, it would either be Lv Yi who bore the responsibility, or Hong Tao who, no matter what, could not be implicated.

Xie Wanqing on the other hand, was able to bite Lv Yi tightly and drag her into the water, while Lv Yi was her right-hand woman. In her previous life, she had plotted quite a few times for her, so no matter what, she could kill her and show her. But it was very obvious that Hong Tao was afraid, and if there was anything to hold her back, she would not dare to say it anymore.

With the wife's vicious hands, Hong Tao's face quickly became swollen, but he still did not stop.

The old mistress took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Stop." The old woman immediately stopped and withdrew her hand.

"Hong Tao, since you've gotten it, did you scatter the medicinal powder on the kite?" The madame put down her teacup and squinted at her.

Hong Tao stubbornly shook her head, his tears mixed together with the sweat on her face.

He then walked over and took out a blue porcelain bottle from his sleeves, and said loudly: "I was ordered by the old mistress to search Hong Tao's room, and during her greetings, I found this, I do not know what it is, so I asked the doctor who treated Third Young Master, and after checking it out, he confirmed that it was indeed something that caused Third Young Master's illness."

Previously, she could have refused to admit to the Old Mistress' interrogation. As long as she could endure, and the Old Mistress was a sensible person, she would not do anything to her without evidence. At most, she would just be punished. Now that the evidence was conclusive, it was likely that her fate would not be good.

That maid was the head servant of the madame, Siqi. The moment she finished speaking, she respectfully lowered her head. Other than stating what she had found out, there was not a single superfluous sentence. No wonder the madame paid so much attention to him. Xie Wanqing secretly noted this down in her heart. She thought that if she wanted to please her grandmother in the future, she had to go through this trial by Siqi first.

Before the old lady could speak, Madame Huang's eyes turned red the moment she saw the bottle in Siqi's hands. Her face was full of fierceness, and she wished that she could flay Hong Tao's skin and pull her tendons to vent her resentment.

When the Old Mistress saw her expression, she sighed in her heart. Although the Madame Huang was straightforward and not evil, her thoughts were all on the surface. How could such a person manage the inner courtyard? The madame did not like the Madame Huang, but when she thought about the Madame Ye, she felt a headache. She was pure and stubborn, and did not know how to change the situation, so with the manager of the second house acting in such a manner, it was no wonder that the servants had some weird thoughts.

The Old Mistress looked at Madame Huang, a look of impatience flashing past her eyes. She looked at Hong Tao and said: "Since she misses her sister so much, let's beat her up and send her back to the pavilion to let the two sisters reunite."

The maidservants below all breathed heavily and sent two maidservants into the building twice in a row. It had to be said that the madame's methods had intimidated quite a few people.

Hearing that, Hong Tao immediately kowtowed towards the old lady, and when Attendant came over to pull her out, there was already a small pool of blood on the ground.
