Qing He resisted the pain in her leg and struggled to stand up. Li Jun who was a bit closer to Qing He was startled by her sudden action. She subconsciously pushed forward and Qing He fell to the ground, the thing in her chest falling out.
Everyone was startled when they saw what fell out of the paper. Scorpion, Centipede, Spider... Although it was only a weak movement, it was still a living thing. There were also two small bags wrapped around it. Angele did not know what they were.
Qing He was stupefied when she saw this. She knew that the matter had already been exposed. Originally, Qing He had come here under the orders of the Second Miss to put these drowned poisonous insects along with the poison in their bodies into the Eldest Miss' garden.
After that, the Second Miss would bring the Madam over to catch the case. But, how could Qing He have expected this. Just as he was about to make his move, a black dog suddenly appeared and bit his ankle.
The genuine pain caused Qing He to be both afraid and in pain. She couldn't stop herself from screaming out in pain. After that, it attracted a large number of people. Right now, Qing He only thought about how to explain it to everyone.
Just as everyone was discussing amongst themselves, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd, "The young miss is here!"
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously turned around to look. Indeed. Noticing Yan Ling, who was standing not too far away, he frowned and looked in their direction.
Watching as Yan Ling walked towards them, everyone automatically parted to the sides, opening up a path in the middle. Yan Ling ignored the crowd and walked directly towards Qing He.
Qing He lowered her head and shivered. When Yan Ling arrived in front of her, Qing He only saw a pair of embroidered shoes and stopped in front of her.
Qing He's face had already turned as pale as paper. Now, she could only hope that Second Miss would bring Madam over as soon as possible to help her. If this matter were to be handled by the young miss, Qing He felt that it would be hard for her to escape death.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yan Ling stood on high, his voice came from above Qing He's head.
Qing He's body stiffened. She subconsciously mumbled, "No, I don't know, I didn't do anything."
Yan Ling could not help but sneer, and spoke with some ridicule: "What did I just say you did? You're so nervous, don't tell me you're feeling guilty? "
Qing He realized her slip of tongue and immediately tried to defend herself, "It's nothing, why should I be nervous? "Servant …" "Your servant was just scared."
Yan Ling ignored him. Qing He forced a smile on her face and continued, "My dog bit you, so it's our fault. However, I want to ask. Qing He, what are you doing here instead of staying in your sister's courtyard? "
When Qing He saw that Yan Ling did not say that he would be punished from the start, she thought that she was afraid of her master's status. It was as if she was grabbing onto a straw of straw to save her life. Following that, Qing He made up her mind. She would rather die than admit it.
"It's the Second Miss. The Second Miss has instructed this servant to come and deliver some things to the Eldest Miss." Qing He pretended to be calm and said.
"Oh? Is that so? This lady would like to see what my sister wants you to send me. "Where are the items? Take them out." Yan Ling mocked.
"This …" Qing He was stunned. She couldn't possibly say that Second Miss asked me to send you poison, right?
"Because I was in a hurry, I accidentally landed in the garden of the second young miss. I'll go and get it for the eldest young miss right away." Qing He still tried to find an excuse to escape.
"What you said was quite interesting. You said that you listened to Second Miss's orders and came to deliver something to our Young Miss, and in the end you said that it landed in Second Miss's garden." Do you really think that we are idiots and would be played around by you? " Before Yan Ling could say anything, Li Jun had already become indignant.
"Your servant hasn't!" Qing He, who had previously bolstered her courage, now roared with confidence.
"If you say no, then no? So many of us are watching! Miss, look at those poisonous bugs on the ground, they fell out from the paper bag in his arms. " Li Li said without yielding in the slightest.
Yan Ling looked around at the people around him. The noisy crowd immediately quietened down.
They had indeed seen the scene just now, but … Qing He was the popular little girl beside the Second Miss, and the Eldest Miss had never been favoured before. When the two of them compared to each other, they did not know what to say.
"Why don't you guys say something? Is it possible that among so many people, no one dares to speak the truth? Qing He's arrogant attitude, didn't you guys get bullied by him quite a few times? At such a time, you actually still want to help her? "
Faced with the expected silence, Yan Ling frowned helplessly. However, just as Yan Ling was about to ask, Li Yi suddenly said. These provocative words broke the silence in the surroundings. Everyone seemed eager to give it a try.
Yan Ling looked at Li Yi and the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. He did not say anything and continued to wait for the reaction of the people around him.
After a while, one of the girls hesitantly stood up and nervously said, "Big Miss, we saw it just now. Those items were dropped from Qing He's body."
Since someone had already begun, the following matters were easy to handle. Everyone was excited and rushed to say that they had seen it too.
Qing He, what else do you have to say? From what I see, you clearly want to use these things to frame our young lady. You must be the one who said all the rumors in the manor. " Li Jun pointed at Qing He, her small face flushed red.
"I don't, I don't …" Qing He had long since lost her previous imposing aura. She could not help but shake her head.
"Even when death is near, you still refuse to admit it. What a stubborn servant girl. "Since that's the case, let's wait a little longer. I believe mother and second miss will be arriving soon."
Yan Ling laughed coldly and said disdainfully, "I want to see if you can still be so stubborn when your master arrives!"
Qing He shuddered in fright at Yan Ling's cold words. Only now did Qing He realize that this young miss seemed to be really scary.
"What's the matter?" A group of people are all gathered here. Sure enough, it was Cao Cao who arrived just like that.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a group of people walked over in a grandiose manner. The two leaders were Madam Yan and Yan Shuang. A look of obvious excitement appeared on Yan Shuang's face. It was as if she felt that what she had done was foolproof, and now she was waiting for Yan Ling's misfortune.
However, Yan Shuang would never have thought that Qing He, the personal maid that she sent, would actually be exposed. He was caught red-handed under the noses of so many people.
"Miss! Save me! Miss, quickly save me! " As if she knew that Yan Shuang had arrived, Qing He suddenly shouted loudly, as if she had finally found a savior.
