Not long later, the two women brought Chun Xiao in. Although Madame SHen did not have people watching over her, they only gave her a bowl of porridge every day. With so many days of starvation, even if she opened her doors, she would not be able to walk more than a few steps. Now that the woman who was holding her had let go, she softly knelt on the ground.

Jin Lan turned his head to the side, and peeked the curtain out through the carved gaps, only to see that Chun Xiao was still tied up, her delicate and pretty face a few days ago was already extremely haggard. His face was deeply sunken, making her cheekbones stand out even more. His eyes were dim and lifeless, with a circle of black and white under his eyes. Her neatly combed hair was in a mess, and she looked extremely miserable.

When Chun Xiao saw the Madame SHen in the main seat, her face changed. Her starved and weak body actually surged with power, as he fiercely pounced towards her!

This sudden action shocked everyone present. Fortunately, the two sturdy women behind her reacted quickly and grabbed her shoulders. Their forward momentum stopped them, and they staggered two steps back before plopping down on the ground.

She struggled to get up, but was tightly pressed to the ground, her body frantically twisting and turning. However, she was already dizzy from hunger, so she didn't have much strength left. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she continuously begged Madame SHen for mercy. However, her mouth was stuffed with a piece of rag, no matter how she shouted, she could only let out a wuwu sound in the end.

Madame SHen sat steadily in the main hall, her expression unreadable. She looked at her indifferently and did not say a word.

The surrounding servants and wives were now even more numerous than before, and other than Man Ping and Hui Xiu, who were serving at the Side Chamber, the rest of them were standing outside the door. The five of them lined up in a row, completely blocking the door, but they were only lowering their heads and staring at their own toes, not even daring to pant a little more. Madame SHen had specifically asked Hui Xiu to call all the servants in Shuixie Pavilion over to the Side Chamber because she wanted to make an example out of nothing.

Chun Xiao struggled for a long time as she sobbed. Finally, she could no longer make a sound. Only then did Madame SHen open her mouth slowly. "Chun Xiao, after being hungry for so many days, have you thought about what you should do? If you don't have any, I can give you a few more days to study it. "

Chun Xiao's body that had collapsed onto the ground stiffened as she involuntarily raised his head to look at Madame SHen. The fear in her eyes grew even stronger. She was once the daughter of a wealthy family, but was forced to become a servant because of her family background. Although her appearance could not be considered beautiful, her facial features were not ordinary either. Even so, she had never experienced such pain. Now that the Madame SHen had said it, it was like she had a nightmare again. She could not help but squeeze out a last bit of strength and shook his head with all her might.

Madame SHen's expression was indifferent. She picked up the teacup with the blue and white flower patterns on the table, took a sip, and said: "Since you've thought it through, I'll give you a chance." With that, she glanced at the old granny guarding Chun Xiao, "Let her speak."

One of the old granny quickly took off the tattered cloth that was stuffed into Chun Xiao's mouth, while the other continued to press down on her.

The moment she removed the tattered cloth ball in her mouth, Chun Xiao immediately cried out with a hoarse voice: "Madam, Madam is clear, this servant was wrongly accused, this servant really did not harm Madam!"

Chun Xiao's unrepentance caused Jin Lan to frown slightly. She turned her head to look at Madame SHen and only calmed down when she saw that her expression was calm and did not show any signs of being angry. Although Madame SHen's health was good, she still needed to recuperate, and she did not want to be angered, but looking at the situation today, Chun Xiao would not easily admit her mistake.

Madame SHen did not seem to be in a hurry at all.

Chun Xiao swore and swore for a long time, but seeing that the Madame SHen was ignoring him, she slowly quieted down. She knelt on the ground and sobbed, occasionally shouting out a few words of injustice.

The Madame SHen did not seem to be in a hurry to interrogate him, as if she was watching a show from the bottom of the platform. No matter how Chun Xiao made a scene, she was not moved, and leisurely sipped on her tea. Seeing Madame SHen's assured look, she suddenly thought back to Hui Xiu's actions when she first entered the room, and couldn't help but glance at Hui Xiu who was beside her.

Seeing that Jin Lan was looking at her with a puzzled expression, Hui Xiu smiled and shook his head, her eyes were clear and full of spirit.

Jin Lan was stunned for a moment before he came to a sudden realization.

She had asked Madame SHen before why she did not hurry up and deal with Chun Xiao's matter. Although Chun Xiao would not be able to escape after being locked up, there were too many people in the Ye Family, and more or less, there would be news about it. Once the people behind the scenes found out, the clues would be erased, and that person would be even more careful.

But when the Madame SHen heard this, she just smiled without saying a word, and did not need to worry.

Now it seemed that the Madame SHen had secretly made arrangements, and had already gained a lot, which was why she brought Chun Xiao up.

After thinking it through, Jin Lan heaved a sigh of relief. He patiently waited to see how the Madame SHen would deal with it.

After crying for less than an hour, Chun Xiao's throat was dry and dry. The pain made it so that she could no longer scream. Seeing that Madame SHen's eyes were calm and did not seem to show any signs of getting angry, his heart gradually became lively and she began to think of a strategy to deal with it.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the chirping of cicadas in the courtyard was disconcerting. Just as even the confident Madame SHen was getting impatient, Mo Chu's voice sounded from outside, "Madam, Concubine Shao is here."

Madame SHen's tensed heart suddenly relaxed, a cold glint quickly flashed past her eyes. It really came.

She had pretended to be unaware and even made the guard's wife let her guard down. In reality, she had always been secretly being watched by Hui Xiu, just waiting for the person who had ulterior motives to fall into his trap. After waiting for a few days, there was no one who took the initiative to contact Chun Xiao, nor was there anyone who could scout him out. If it wasn't for him accidentally discovering some clues, she was afraid that this matter would have really ended there and then.

The servants blocking the entrance all retreated to their left and right, and after a short while, a passage was created, allowing them to enter the Concubine Shao.

Before she could step through the door, she saw Chun Xiao kneeling on the ground. She was startled, she glanced at the servants on her left and right, and understood what was going on. She couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all. She still wore the brilliant smile of a summer flower as she slowly stepped forward to pay her respects. "Madam."

The moment Concubine Shao appeared, her gaze fell on her and never left her. Seeing that her expression was normal without the slightest change, the light in her eyes became increasingly heavy.

He had secretly planned for a few days, and with great difficulty, he used the Steward Li's ability to attract her to him at this time in order to catch her off guard. However, with the current situation, he had underestimated her.

Madame SHen placed the tea cup in her hand on the purple sandalwood carved table and asked knowingly: "Why are you here?"

Concubine Shao laughed: "A few days ago, I said that I wanted to buy someone, but my wife is not feeling well, so I pushed her away. These two days, my wife has been well. Master has specially instructed me to call Dental Granny into the house and let my wife choose two maids. " Then, with a calm expression, he glanced at Chun Xiao, "I never thought that I would come at the wrong time, and cause you trouble."

There was a hint of retreat in her words. Normally, Madame SHen would wave her away, but she had gone through so much trouble to trick her this time, how could he let her go so easily?

Madame SHen pointed to the chair at the bottom of the room, "If there's no hurry, it would be early in the morning, and it would be the same later. "You should sit down for a while. After I finish dealing with this matter, we will go together."

"Alright." Concubine Shao felt hatred in her heart, but she could only compromise. She took a few steps forward and sat down, while Su Xin stood respectfully behind her.

Mo Chu swiftly carried the tea to the door and waited.

He had spent a great deal of effort to set up the stage, and had even invited guests over. Madame SHen looked up at Chun Xiao who had recovered some of her spirit, and coldly said: "I assume you are also a fool, and I will give you one more chance. As long as you say who the person directing you is, I can make things easy for you, and will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Chun Xiao's face paled, she was not confused, on the contrary, she was smart, at this point, how could she not realise that she was being schemed against? In the Madame SHen's interrogation, she kept on saying that she was wronged and refused to speak. She was afraid that she would be dealt with unknowingly, and now that the Concubine Shao, the butler was here and she remembered the relationship between her and his wife, she was overjoyed.
