"How could this be …" Little Xiu could not hold on any longer, and his body was completely paralyzed on the ground. His face was completely devoid of blood, and he looked lifeless. It's obviously not like that. "

Jin Lan took a deep breath, suppressed the raging anger at the bottom of his heart, and stared coldly at Little Xiu as he opened his mouth to speak: "Tell me who instructed you, and maybe I'll be able to take it lightly."

Others might not be aware of it, but she knew that her mother loved it the most. Although it wasn't burned in the incense burner, all the incense in the box was fragrant!

Little Xiu was only a third-rate servant girl. Normally, she wouldn't even be able to go to Jiaomen, so how would she be able to find the Sangyangzi Fruit? Furthermore, the matter of her mother being poisoned was right before Little Xiu even entered the palace. Even if it was Little Xiu who did it now, then who was the one who did it?

Jin Lan's words was like a clap of thunder, causing Little Xiu's entire body to tremble, she immediately regained her senses. She did not care about the rope tied around her, and immediately knelt down, kowtowing to Jin Lan, and said with tears in her voice, "Miss, this servant is wronged, this servant really did not wish to harm Madam, but only wanted to do what was within my power. As for those beside me, even borrowing this servant's one hundred and twenty guts would not dare to think! I beg Miss to spare this servant, this servant will definitely help Miss to catch that slut who harmed Madam! "

Before Jinlan could even speak, Mama Tang spat at her, and angrily rebuked her with a green face: "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare he give a condition to a girl! "Based on your crimes, even if you drag it out and beat him to death, it would still be proper!"

Little Xiu also did not hesitate, and shouted: "This servant was also framed, does this lady want to kill this servant's pure and innocent daughter without discrimination?"

"Pure?" Jin Lan was so angry that he laughed instead, and immediately took two steps forward to Little Xiu, looking down at her condescendingly, "Be honest with yourself and reveal your master behind your back, don't think that you can get away with it, and even more so think that you can get away with it. Your indenture contract is in mother's hands, if I want to take it, it will only be a matter of a few words!"

After she finished speaking, she specially paused and looked at Little Xiu's frightened face with an indifferent gaze. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth split into a demonic smile, "I'm not as magnanimous as mother, I might accidentally sell you into a lowly place or something shameful like that …"

When her tender voice entered Little Xiu's ears, it became a talisman of urging her on where she had nowhere to run, causing her to shiver in fear. She wanted to scream out loud, but her cold eyes stared right at her, as though she was holding onto her throat with a pair of invisible hands.

She suddenly felt that Second Miss was serious, as long as she did not admit it, Second Miss's words would definitely become true!

Little Xiu was finally afraid, she was both shocked and terrified, crying in an extremely miserable manner. Without waiting for Jin Lan to ask again, she trembled and said, "Yes, it was Sister Man Ping who asked me to do this!"

Man Ping?

Other than Jin Lan and Mama Tang, everyone in the room was shocked. Even the calm face of the Doctor Gong revealed a little ripple.

Was it really her? Jin Lan closed his eyes, not knowing if it was disappointment or anger.

Ever since she heard from Mu Lan that Man Ping had appeared at the Eastern City Square, she had become suspicious of him. She had asked the Mama Tang to inform her elder brother to explore the alley and also found some traces of spider silk.

Man Ping was one of my mother's most trusted maids. If I let my mother know that the person closest to me is the black hand that caused me to fall into such a predicament, how sad would it be?

Even she had wholeheartedly trusted Man Ping and Man Ping initially.

Jin Lan opened his eyes and watched quietly. His eyes were as calm as water. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but it made people feel inexplicably anxious.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mama Tang worriedly called out, "Miss."

Only then did Jin Lan turn his head and look at the concerned eyes of the Mama Tang. His heart warmed as he gently nodded and said, "I'm fine." After saying that, he looked at Little Xiu and asked expressionlessly: "Are you sure?"

"This servant is sure!" Little Xiu gritted her teeth as she said, "This servant was originally a maid who was sweeping around the kitchen. Three months ago, Man Ping found a servant, saying that it was to help this servant woo his wife, and even gave me some fruits, saying that as long as I can find a way to get my wife's food, my wife's appetite would be greatly increased! As long as Madam can eat it and get better, this servant will have done a great service! "

Female Cook Zhang was scared to the point that her whole body was covered in cold sweat. She had never been able to figure out why Second Miss had people guarding the small kitchen.

She was loyal to the Madame SHen as a child, and when she heard the truth, she wanted to step forward and tear Little Xiu apart. However, because Jin Lan was present, she coldly said: "Aren't you a fool? Do you believe her when she says that? Don't you know that secretly playing tricks on your wife's food, and poking it out, is a crime against your master? In my opinion, there might be something in your heart! "

"Everything this servant said is true, otherwise I would have died a horrible death!" Little Xiu swore a oath and thought about what would happen to her. She didn't dare to think about it, so she could only think of a way to get rid of him.

"At that time, this servant was still curious, why would she give up such a good opportunity to someone else? In the end, Man Ping smiled and told the servant that she was supposed to be a servant in front of a wife and needed her trust, so she didn't spend any more time thinking about it. But Hui Xiu would always try to steal from her in front of her wife, she was furious and wanted to help this servant. It's just that she had one condition, and that was that this servant will have it in the future.

"This servant thought that it would be beneficial and harmless for this servant, so I agreed with Man Ping, but this servant is not stupid, the fruits that I secretly fed to the brocade fish in the backyard are not harmful, that's why …" At the end of her sentence, her voice was hoarse from exhaustion. Her heart was filled with regret, and her eyes were as swollen as walnuts. It was too horrible to look at.

Jin Lan pursed his lips, showing no mercy in his heart. She would never forgive someone who had hurt her mother! Thinking for a moment, he asked: This method was also taught to you by Man Ping? Do the mulberry fruit be applied daily or once every few days? "

Little Xiu shook her head, and said hoarsely: "The method was thought of by me, but when it comes to applying the fruit, it was Man Ping who secretly instructed me. She said that Madam sometimes doesn't like to eat things from the kitchen, so it would be white if I applied it, and it would cause mistakes."

You're smart! Jin Lan sneered, shshecould no longer be bothered to listen to her cry. She instructed the Mama Tang to first place her in the woodshed, then secretly whisper a few words to Mu Lan, he turned and left with the Doctor Gong.

Seeing that Jin Lan was about to leave, Little Xiu struggled up and opened her mouth to shout, but was blocked by the Female Cook Zhang's hand and only a few wuwu sounds came out.

Deep into the night, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy.

As Jin Lan stepped out of the kitchen, a gust of night wind blew past. A few inches of cold gradually invaded her slender body. She couldn't help but pull up her cloak.

Upon seeing all those harming methods, Jin Lan felt his teeth go cold. Fortunately, she was sharp enough to tell her mother not to touch the food inside the Shuixie Pavilion, and instead told Mama Tang to prepare them properly before sending them over secretly. Otherwise, it would be too late by now.

When he thought that it was highly likely that the Madame SHen would go after him with hatred, Jin Lan's heart trembled uncontrollably.

Doctor Gong had always been paying close attention to Jin Lan. Seeing her pair of eyes that were flickering with fear and imprinted with orange light, he suddenly said softly, "Everything will eventually pass."

Jin Lan was startled. Facing the Doctor Gong's calm yet unusually bright eyes, his heart fell silent for no reason.

That's right, everything would pass. After working so hard for so long, spending so much effort, it was no longer the same as in his previous life.

The poison in his mother's body had almost been completely cleansed, and the only thing to do now was to follow Man Ping's line and find out everything that Concubine Shao had done!

Jin Lan smiled gratefully at Doctor Gong.

With regards to Man Ping, it was impossible to hide the truth from her mother. Furthermore, what happened tonight was at the Shuixie Pavilion, but as long as one wanted to ask about it, there would always be traces, and if they did not deal with it quickly, once they recovered, it would be even more difficult.

Jin Lan made up his mind to go to his mother's room at dawn.

Madame SHen woke up as soon as the sky turned gray. She had always been a light sleeper, and although she drank better than usual, she somehow felt that something was going to happen last night. She could only hear a faint noise, but not a sound. Thus, after tossing and turning, he waited for the light outside the window to slightly brighten before he stood up.

Mama Zhu brought hot water and helped her wash up as she said, "Miss came over early in the morning and is waiting for you in the outer room."

"Lan Er is here?" Madame SHen was startled, then said: "Quickly let her in."

Just as Man Ping responded, she placed the clothes that she had prepared neatly on the bed, and turned to walk out.

"Second Miss, Madam will let you in."

Jin Lan was holding onto a cup of tea. Seeing Man Ping coming out, her eyes flashed and she smiled and got up to go inside. She only passed by Man Ping's side and immediately smelt a faint fragrance.

Madame SHen sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair. Seeing Jin Lan enter, he laughed: "Why aren't you sleeping for a while longer? Why are you up so early?"

Jin Lanfu snuggled up to her, "I slept early last night. I should wake up early now."

A trace of a smile appeared on Madame SHen's face. She rubbed Jin Lan's head and said: "That's fine, you'll have breakfast with me in a while."

As the mother and daughter chatted, Hui Xiu had already brought the breakfast over and placed it on the purple sandalwood sculpture's square table.

Madame SHen changed into her clothes and then took her seat along with Jin Lan. However, Jin Lan extended his hand to stop him just as he was about to pick up the note.

Her eyes curved, and she laughed: "Mother, Sister Man Ping is someone who is able in front of you, and someone who has always taken care of mother's body, Lan Er is grateful to you in her heart. For today's breakfast, Lan Er would like to invite Big Sister Man Ping to sit at the table with us, is that alright? "

Man Ping's pretty face changed, as though she was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and immediately waved her hand: "Taking care of Mistress is my duty, how could I dare to accept Miss's thanks!"

Jin Lan didn't care how she rejected him, standing up immediately and pulling Man Ping's hand, pushing her to sit on the round stool.

Man Ping was afraid of hurting her, even though she was anxious, she did not dare to struggle, and was slowly pulled by Jin Lan to sit down.

Seeing them coming and going, Madame SHen felt that it was rather interesting, so she said to Hui Xiu, "You can sit together with me, there's no need to go through so many rules today."

Hui Xiu stuttered for a bit, then sat down. This time, Man Ping had no reason to get up, and could only force herself to sit on the round stool.

Jin Lan smiled as he returned to the side of Madame SHen and sat down, then he personally scooped up a bowl of Jade Mold Porridge and pushed it in front of Man Ping, "I wonder how this bowl of porridge tastes like, let Big Sister Man Ping have a taste."

Man Ping's eyelids jumped, her heart instantly becoming flustered, could it be that Second Miss knew something?

"Why?" Jin Lan saw that she wasn't moving, so he tilted his head and curiously asked, "Could it be that this congee isn't compatible with elder sister's taste?"

"No, no!" Man Ping forced out a trace of a smile and reached out to scoop a spoonful of the jade-green porridge, but she didn't dare to put it in her mouth no matter what.

Seeing her hesitant appearance, Jin Lan suddenly slammed the table!

Man Ping was shocked, the spoon instantly fell into the bowl, the boiling porridge splashed on her body, causing her to feel a burning pain. Before she could even jump up, she heard Jin Lan's voice, which was as cold as ice:

"Since the porridge doesn't suit my tastes, could it be that there is something shameful added into the porridge?!"
