Lian Ruyue was still calm as she said, "Doctor Lu, could it be that Third Sister was right? Was your judgement wrong?"

Doctor Lu was a famous doctor in the capital. He was highly respected and had always taken a liking to his own reputation. If this news were to spread, it would affect his reputation and he would definitely not allow this to happen. He knew that Doctor Lu cherished his reputation as if it was his own life, so he deliberately asked this question.

He said roughly, "Eldest Miss, this old and useless one will never mistakenly break it!"

As he said this, his gaze once again swept across the Fox Lodge. He had to find evidence, for the sake of a white fox, he couldn't allow his reputation to be sullied!

In the end, his gaze stopped on the white fox. He walked over and picked up the bowl of water it was drinking from. He placed it by his nose and sniffed it before asking:

"Miss Huang Cen, where did you get the water from?"

"Here." Huang Cen led Doctor Lu to a small well beside the fox house and said, "In order to let the white fox drink the purest of the water, we specially dug such a well in the fox house."

Saying that, Huang Cen picked up a wooden ladle and scooped up a spoonful of sweet well water into a wooden bowl. Doctor Lu's gaze fell upon this wooden ladle —

"Don't move!" Just when Huang Cen was about to put the ladle back, Doctor Lu quickly walked over and snatched it away. He took out a silver needle and slid it across the edge of the ladle.

"Found it!" The old mistress' problem was the ladle! If my guess is correct, this bowl has already been boiled in the water with the ear-broken root and the gingko. The medicinal effects soak into the ladle and when the ladle is filled with water, it will seep into the water. If this old man were to drink this water for three consecutive days, the white fox will naturally become ill. "

What...

Even his mother felt a chill down her spine as she looked at the ladle.

"Grandmother, this person is very scheming. Who would have thought that the problem would be a small ladle? It was a good thing that Doctor Lu was a cautious person, otherwise … This white fox is going to die. " Lian Ru Yue's face paled as she said, "It seems that this person is here to deal with Grandmother!"

Lian Xi's mother felt a heavy blow to her head. She suddenly felt dizzy, and Lian Xi hurriedly supported her.

After she recovered her wits, she flew into a rage and said to Peony, "Insolent servant, you actually thought of such an evil scheme! Someone come, break her arms and legs, feed her some aphrodisiac, and throw her out of the manor! "

When Peony heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Madame, it's all wrong, it wasn't me, it wasn't!"

"Bitch, you still dare to quibble? Come on, drag him out and break his limbs!" Song mama picked up Peony's clothes and slapped her face two times.

The servant walked over with a stick in his hand. He raised the stick high in the air and smashed it against her leg. She threw herself forward and fell to the ground, letting out a painful cry. It scared even Shiya so much that she abruptly turned around and buried her face in Aunt Xiao's arms. Aunt Xiao hugged her, her face somewhat pale.

"Fight!" Song mama gave the order again.

"Third Miss!" Peony miserably yelled out Lian Shiya's name. Her forehead was covered in sweat, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her face revealed a painful expression. She crawled towards Lian Shiya with great difficulty, her hands tightly grabbing the hem of her skirt. "Third Miss, save, save me."

Seeing this, Aunt Xiao immediately walked over, secretly grabbing onto Peony's arm with all her strength, and scolded, "Slut girl, what are you doing!? Even if the third miss had always been kind to people and had always thought of servants, she would still ignore you. If the old lady wanted to punish you, then you'd have to be punished; otherwise, it would not be as simple as breaking your hands and feet! "

Lian Yue looked at her coldly and shook her head. 'Auntie Xiao is really a dog that jumped off the wall in a hurry. For the sake of letting Peony take the blame, she actually said such threatening words so clearly.

However, who knew that this peony wasn't easy to fool either. Since her legs were half broken, if Aunt Xiao and Third Miss wanted to throw her off, then … Then she would throw caution to the wind!

Thus, she gritted her teeth and turned towards her mother, screaming, "Old madam, you have seen clearly that Third Miss ordered this servant to do this. This servant is too soft with his words, and does not dare to offend any master, so I have no choice but to obey.

What...

Lian Ma suddenly looked at Lian Shiya. His eyes were like the Fiery Eyes of Truth. "It's you?"

She walked up to Peony in a few steps, pretending to be angry. Ignoring the fact that she was greeting the kind Third Miss, she raised her hand and slapped her face, scolding, "Slave, I don't usually interact with you. In order to protect myself, you actually splashed dirty water on me!"

Peony's face swelled up from being hit, and blood started to flow out from the corner of her mouth, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Third Miss, you have to be honest! Three days ago, you came to Qing An Yuan under the name of taking care of the daffodils. You secretly gave a packet of medicinal powder to your servant. Now that there's been an accident, seeing that this servant is about to lose her hand, how could Third Miss only think of protecting herself? "

Three days ago...

Lian Rou recalled that three days ago, Lian Shiya did indeed come to Qing An Courtyard through the heavy rain and had indeed arrived near the fox house. At that time, she even refused the servant girl's company; the more she thought about it, the more disheartened she became!

"You are slandering me, I have never told you to do such a thing!" Lian Shiya was anxious and wished that she could immediately kill this servant!

"Madame, please don't listen to this lowly servant's nonsense. The Third Miss' filial piety towards you can be seen by the heavens. She definitely wouldn't do such a thing." "You lowly slave, if you continue to speak such nonsense, I will pull out your teeth!" Auntie Xiao never thought that things would turn out like this.

"Heh." Second Madam Hu let out a sneer and said, "That's strange. There are so many girls in our Prime Minister Manor. Mother, I think the situation is clear now. Auntie Xiao and Lian Shiya are not satisfied with you taking back the power of the harem to elder sister-in-law, colluding with these lowly maidservants to harm you. Or directly against you? "

When her mother heard Hu Shi's words, she thought about the whole thing and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

"No, no, madame, I have been by your side for many years. Thank you for your meticulous advice, only now did I have a place in the Prime Minister's Estate. How could I have the guts to be disrespectful to you?!" Come to think of it, in the past, I had offended a lot of people while I was in the back residence. Now, someone had intentionally tried to take revenge on me, but accidentally dragged the innocent Third Miss down. " Aunt Xiao knelt on the ground, tightly holding her mother's hand as she sobbed. Seeing her mother's complexion grow more and more unsightly, and the disappointment in her face growing deeper and deeper, this was the first time she felt completely at ease.

His mother was filled with rage as she said in a stern voice:

"Someone, drag Third Young Miss down, serve her by family law, and lock her in the temple. Without my permission, you are not allowed to come out. As for Auntie Xiao …"

"Wait, Mother." At this time, the silent Lian Yanqing suddenly spoke up. He came up to drag away Lian Shiya's servant before stopping.
