"Please spare me, please spare me …" Yu Zhu was frightened to the point of prostrating herself on the ground, kowtowing nonstop and begging for mercy. "Your servant was muddle-headed for a moment, so I had no choice but to accept Third Young Miss's scarlet gold bracelet. I had no choice …"
"No, that's not it. This has nothing to do with me. Don't speak nonsense …" Lian Shiya looked frantically at Lian Yanqing and then at the old mistress, trying her best to defend herself.
Aunt Xiao wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it. She could only inwardly scold Lian Shiya for overdoing it, ruining her plans of leaving Lian Yanqing and Lian Ruyue.
"…" Finally, Lian Yanqing raised his head and closed his eyes. His face revealed an extremely disappointed expression as he raised his hand and said, "Drag this servant away, break his hands and feet, and throw him out of the manor."
Deceiving the Prime Minister and breaking his hands and feet could be considered light.
Lian Ru Yue looked at Lian Yan Qing's face and thought to herself, Father, father, this feeling of being tricked by someone you trust isn't very pleasant right? Especially since those two people are the treasures in your heart.
"No, no!" "Prime minister, have mercy, prime minister, have mercy …" She fearfully cried out for help, then turned to Lian Ruyue, "Eldest Miss, this servant knows my wrongs. You helped this servant, and this servant also betrayed you. This servant is in the wrong, please save this servant."
However, it was too late. She was just a lowly maid. Her miserable life was worthless, so who would care?
Very quickly, the sound of staff hitting could be heard from outside. Every time they hit, there would be a miserable scream that would make people tremble with fear. Aunt Xiao and Lian Shiya's expressions became even uglier.
Even the mother's dignified gaze swept over the crowd. In the end, she looked at the mother and daughter of the Xiao family and harshly said:
"You two, mother and daughter, did not attack my White Fox enough. You actually instigated my servant girl in the courtyard to lie in front of the dignified Prime Minister for the sake of making him suspect Yue'er and punish her!" He was trying to play with her between the palms of his hands!
"With all these schemes and schemes, my General's Estate is no longer able to accommodate all of you …"
What? There was no room for them. What did that mean?
Aunt Xiao and Lian Shiya were startled and quickly kneeled on the ground to beg for forgiveness. "Madame, you're wrongly accused. It's not like that, it's not like that!"
When even Yan Qing heard his mother's emotionless words, he trembled slightly. "Mother …"
Seeing that Lian Yan Qing clearly knew that he was deceived by the Xiao family's mother and daughter, but his face still showed some traces of being unable to bear it, the first wife revealed a pitiful smile and finally gave up.
Lian Ru Yue felt it and lightly held the First Madam's hand, silently consoling her.
That's right, how could his mother not feel cold when faced with such a situation?
If she was the one who made such a mistake, it was likely that she would already be under the family law without a second word.
Lian Rue of the Moon! It's you, it's you, isn't it? You did all this! " Suddenly, Lian Shiya abruptly got up from the ground. With an angry expression on her face, she ran towards Lian Ruyue. Pointing at her, she scolded, "Yu Zhu's bracelet! You made it! You again!"
However, before she even got close to Lian Ru Yue, she suddenly stood up and stood in front of her elder sister to protect her. Her ice-cold gaze was almost the same as Lian Yue's usually icy gaze as she coldly said,
"If you dare to approach my sister even half a step, your body will definitely be smashed into smithereens, and not even your bones will remain!"
"…" Lian Shiya gasped and took two steps back.
At this moment, the incantation was extremely terrifying. She had never seen it before. He was like the king of hell, able to swallow her in an instant!
"Mother …" Lian Yan Qing was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by the Hu family.
"Mother, uncle!" They saw Hu Shi suddenly kneel on the ground with both his knees bent and tears streaming down his face.
When his mother saw this, she felt a headache coming on. "Second branch, what are you doing this time?"
Hu Shi took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind, and said, "I want to say a few words for Xin Xin!"
Saying that, she suddenly looked towards Aunt Xiao and coldly laughed, "Heh! Aunt Xiao, even now, you still refuse to admit that everything that's happened today is because of you, and you still want to use Eldest Uncle's kindness to do evil!
This method of borrowing a knife to kill someone, to shirk your crimes, you are truly skilled in it! Back then, you mother and daughter used us to use the venomous snakes to scare your sister. Wasn't that the same thing? "
"Second Madam, you …" Auntie Xiao's heart skipped a beat and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Hu Shi continued:
"Mother, Uncle, think about it. Although this child is a bit unruly, he definitely wouldn't dare to kill anyone. Where would she have found such a venomous snake at that time?"
It was clear that Auntie Xiao and Shiya wanted to borrow our Prime Minister's daughter's hand to take her place! Just like that, you took the blame for nothing! " Hu Shi said coldly, but her eyes were clearly red. She held her Hu family's hand tightly with her head lowered, and her entire body was trembling.
"Second Madam, where did this come from? "The poisonous snake of the second miss has never passed through the hands of the third miss and me. We never knew about this. Didn't that snake almost bite the third miss back then?" Suddenly, all the accusations were directed at them. Auntie Xiao tried her best to defend herself and Lian Shiya.
"Don't know?" "Hmph …" "If I knew you wouldn't have admitted it earlier, I would have sent people to secretly investigate. This snake was bought by Wang mama from a hunter named Li, and that hunter is the younger brother of one of your Xiao family's servants! This person is outside right now, and can come in and confront me at any time. He even said that you gave him a hundred silver coins and told him to shut up. "
"You, you two …" Even if Xiao Niang was crafty and scheming, she never expected the Hu family to suddenly mention the viper. No, with Hu family's intelligence, it was impossible for them to think of leaving so far, then —
Aunt Xiao suddenly raised her eyes to look at Lian Ruyue. She was standing quietly by Lian Li's mother's side. Her expression was neither cold nor indifferent, but the corners of her eyes … A smile flashed clearly on his face.
It's her!
It's her again!
One hole after another had been dug, leaving her with no room for manoeuvre. It was too terrifying!
"Aunt Xiao, ah, Aunt Xiao, you and I were both children in the first place. When your family had fallen, I pitied you and brought you into the family. Master Xu had chosen you as his concubine, but I never thought that I would lead a wolf into a house!" In order to satisfy your ambitions, not only did you attack me, you even dared to extend your hand towards the Qing'an Court, attack the old lady, and try to provoke the old master. Who gave you the guts to do so? " The first wife reprimanded at the side.
"To you? What do you mean? " When Lian Yanqing heard this, his heart slightly trembled as he asked.
The First Wife didn't look at Lian Yanqing. She lowered her head and lightly wiped away her tears. With an indifferent gaze and a light tone, she said, "Perhaps, only after I die will the Old Master understand what I mean."
