Zhao Yuanzhi's heart tightened, and her face darkened. "Ming Xiang, where is it your turn to talk?" Hurry up and leave! "
Ming Xiang trembled when she saw Zhao Yuanzhi's angry expression. However, since she had already spoken, there was no longer any possibility for her to take back her words.
"Master, Madam, Little Red's injury really has nothing to do with Eldest Miss. This servant can testify." Ming Xiang braced herself, her voice trembling slightly.
Yu Zheng's eyes narrowed as he stared at Ming Xiang's face, and he gave a dignified cough.
"Don't be afraid. Tell me who it is. With me here, no one will dare to do anything to you."
Ming Xiang raised her head, glancing furtively at Zhao Yuanzhi before lowering her head in a flurry.
Zhao Yuanzhi was confused. If this damned girl told the truth, she wouldn't let him off so easily. Although she was less biased towards him and Qi, it was still a matter of life and death. She could not let it go.
When she thought about how she had used all her methods to enter the Prime Minister's Estate, and how she had been righted and became the Matriarch of the Residence of Prime Minister, she felt that her future could not be ruined because of this matter. Zhao Yuanzhi calmed herself down and gave a cold laugh. "That's right. Since you know who did this, you should report it to me truthfully. If there are any lies, I won't forgive you!"
Mingxiang trembled. In the Prime Minister's estate, Zhao Yuanzhi was the only one who kept her word. Except for the fact that it was less political, Zhao Yuanzhi had complete control over the life and death of her servants.
She thought to herself that if she did not mention this matter, she would clear her mind of any suspicion. She would not forgive her in the future. That day in the Butterfly Flower Valley, she had seen her skills. If the eldest miss wants her life, she can do it at any time.
Now that he thought about it, if he offered up Zhao Yuanzhi, he had a good chance of winning. Zhao Yuanzhi was the matriarch of the household, and had always doted on her and the Second Miss. Although this matter was directly directed at her, even if it was less than the political level, it still might not be enough to get rid of her. As long as Zhao Yuanzhi was in the Prime Minister's Estate, she wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Ming Xiang's forehead. Everyone's gaze was focused on her, and the Matchmaker Garden fell into a deathly silence.
Whatever it was, he was willing to give it his all. If he didn't say anything now, it would only make Zhao Yuanzhi and Yuanzhi hate him, and there was no chance for him to survive at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ming Xiang gritted her teeth and raised her head. With a light voice, she said, "Master, it's Mama Li. It was she who injured Little Red and threatened Little Red to set the big miss on fire. "
Mama Li was the woman who served Zhao Yuanzhi. She was also at the Matchmaking Garden. Hearing Ming Xiang's words, Mother Li's face turned pale. "Ming Xiang, you're spitting blood!"
"It's you?" It was a question less serious than a cold face.
"Putong!" She knelt on the ground and denied it. Master, madam, this old servant has never done such a thing before. Master and Madam, please be clear-headed and help this old servant. "
A hint of a sneer flashed across Ming Xiang's face. She was actually quite quick-witted. She was afraid of offending Zhao Yuanzhi, but was also afraid of offending Mama Li as her scapegoat.
Zhao Yuanzhi panicked. His mother had served him for so many years, and she had always been loyal to him. Now that Ming Xiang had identified her, she was definitely going to die. She was about to open her mouth to plead for her mother when she suddenly had a thought and changed her mind. Humph, if a person does not commit suicide, then the heavens will kill the earth. In order to protect myself, Mama Li will have to sacrifice you.
"Mom Li, I really didn't expect it to be you. You have such a wicked heart that I have always trusted you. " Zhao Yuanzhi snapped at her mother with an ashen face.
Now that Ming Xiang had identified Mama Li as the scapegoat, Zhao Yuanzhi decided to add more fuel to the fire and remove all traces of herself.
"Master, Madam, this servant was beaten by this woman." Xiao Hong saw that the situation had changed, and hurriedly followed up with a reply, "Although First Miss scolded me before, Master taught me a lesson, so it's only right and proper. I feel wronged in my heart, but I would never do anything to harm Eldest Miss. "If I don't obey, then mama Li will beat up this servant. If this servant doesn't listen to her, then this servant will take my life. This servant doesn't dare disobey in the end."
"It's really you, vicious wife. You actually dare to stir up trouble in the Prime Minister's Estate, plotting to murder his master. If I let you go today, how can I establish my power here?" Someone, kill this b * tch! " Yucheng's expression turned ugly as his pupils contracted in anger.
Mama Li's face was drained of color. She kowtowed like she was crying.
"Madam, please say something for this old servant. This old servant here has served you with all his heart for many years. Madam, please save this old servant. "
"You wife, you still have the face to beg me after doing such a bad thing? However, I can promise that I won't implicate your children because of you. " A trace of malice flashed in Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes as she reprimanded him with a cold tone.
Having followed Zhao Yuanzhi for so many years, Mama Li naturally understood her ruthlessness. Since Zhao Yuanzhi had promised to ensure the safety of her children, it would be worth it for her to die like this.
The floor of Matchmaker's courtyard was filled with shocking bloodstains. A few servants had killed Mama Li with their staff. All the servants and servants trembled like cicadas, shivering from the cold.
Zhao Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the hatred for the freshness in her heart grew even stronger. This time, she didn't burn this little bitch to death. Instead, she had caused herself to lose Mama Li. This grudge would definitely be repaid several times in the coming days.
Mama Li had been killed by a cane, and that was the end of the Matchmaker's arson case.
"You don't need to take a step forward to pay your respects." Father, your daughter has a request. "
"Xiao'er, speak. As long as I am able to do it, I will definitely promise you." Yu Zheng's expression softened, and his expression changed. After returning home, so many things had happened that he felt guilty about his daughter.
"Father, your daughter wants to live in the Parasol Tree Garden." Fewer than a quiet request.
Yu Zheng's expression froze. This Wutong Courtyard was the place where his wife, the Xie Clan, used to live. It had been many years since anyone had lived here. Previously, he rarely mentioned that he wanted to stay in the Wutong Courtyard, so he didn't agree.
"This, my son, I cannot agree." The expression on his face had turned ugly, even though it was more intense than when he had twisted his forehead.
"Father, take a look. Tonight, a large torch burned Free Cloud Garden to the point that it no longer looked the same. It is no longer possible to live in here. His mother had passed away too early for his son to be filial to his mother. Only by staying in the Wutong Courtyard can your daughter feel that your mother is still by your side, so you can understand your daughter's love for her mother. " A layer of mist covered her pupils and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.
Yucheng sighed and said, "Alright, I promise you."
On the night they moved into the Wutong Courtyard, Xiao Yun Chen had a smile on his face as he praised, "A fire case turned out to be a victory. You truly have a good plan, Yun'er."
