Shi Anran frowned as she looked at Liu Yue's dirty clothes. She then ordered the other two maids, "Go and get some scalding ointment."
"Yes, miss." The two maidservants looked at each other. They left the room together.
At this time, only Liu Yue, Shi Anran and the servant who was dragged in was left in the room.
Shi Anran's gaze turned slightly cold as her index finger drummed on the table in a rhythmic manner.
Dong, dong, dong! The sound seemed to strike at the heart, causing one to feel nervous.
The servant and Liu Yue could not help but hold their breath.
The knocking sound suddenly stopped, you are a servant girl from Third Concubine's side?
"Yes." The young maid replied without thinking.
Shi Anran looked at her, "Your clothes must be a second rate servant, right?"
The young maid was startled, she did not know what Shi Anran's intentions were for asking this, and could only reply, "Yes."
"Did you sprinkle the soup on Liu Yue?" Shi Anran suddenly changed the topic, returning to Liu Yue's matter.
The young maid froze again before replying, "It wasn't me. There was clearly someone who tripped me just now. Otherwise, the soup wouldn't have spilled out."
Shi Anran smiled, "Do you know what punishment a second servant has for offending a first tier servant? Moreover, Liu Yue could be considered as half a master in the Palace. Furthermore … A maid like you addressing yourself as' I 'before her master? When did this mansion have such a rule? "
The young maid gritted her teeth, "My master is Third Concubine."
"Your master is the Third Concubine, but do you think that the Third Concubine will pay a small price to protect you?" Shi Anran smiled and asked, "Or should I say … You think that since your master is the Third Concubine, I won't be your master? Don't forget... The Shi Clan is also my Sect Leader. "
The young maid was startled, Shi Anran was right, she was just a second rate servant. Third Concubine would definitely not wade into this mess for her sake, if she were to anger the young miss, her future would definitely not be good, but …
The servant girl thought for a moment and hurriedly explained, "But there was clearly someone that got in my way just now …" "Stop this servant."
"Someone got in your way?" Shi Anran chuckled, "So what?"
"What …" The servant looked at Shi Anran and her pupils contracted.
"Who would believe you? They were all my people, except you. " Shi Anran said expressionlessly.
"Miss, what do you want me to do?" The servant girl swallowed her saliva, looked at Shi Anran in the eyes, and suddenly understood something, "What does Miss want me to do? That's why you're sparing your servant? "
Shi Anran took a sip of the tea on the table and lightly smiled, "You're not stupid."
"Miss, if there is anything you need, please feel free to tell me. This servant will do his best." The young maid gritted her teeth. She had no other choice. She was like a prey, falling into the net set up by Shi Anran, unable to escape.
Shi Anran put down her teacup and spoke word by word, "No, I don't want you to do your best. I want you to definitely do it."
She walked up to the young maid and squatted down to look at her. He placed a white paper bag into the other party's hands, "How about this is placed in Third Concubine's usual dishes?"
The young maid was shocked, the paper package in her hands burned like fire in her palms. She was so scared that she threw the paper bag away and looked at Shi Anran, "This … "This …"
He did not know what was inside. If it was a powerful poison, it would have taken Third Concubine's life on the spot. Then, after searching for a few times, it would have found out that she had it on her body.
Shi Anran curled her lips, even at that moment, she maintained her most appropriate smile, "Are you afraid?"
The servant girl did not react. Shi Anran continued: "Don't be afraid. This thing won't take Third Concubine's life, and she won't even feel any discomfort. Don't worry, it won't be able to track you down. " This medicine would only end her future troubles.
Seeing that the servant's expression had loosened up, Shi Anran patted her shoulder: Don't worry, I won't lie to you. As for today, I won't force you to choose whether you agree or not. "However, you must consider what the consequences would be if you were to disobey me."
The young maid seemed to have awoken from a dream. Yes, she had no other choice. If she refused and the young miss used the crime of offending a first-rate maid, her fate would not be good at all.
If she was pressured by such a crime, she knew that the Third Concubine would definitely not protect her. After all, she was useless to the Third Concubine.
She had no choice but to accept it.
Since this was just a death sentence, why not choose to live for a few more days? If this medicine was really as the young mistress said, and she wasn't going to be discovered, wouldn't she be able to escape a calamity?
Shi Anran's gaze at her slowly sank. If you help me with this matter, I will definitely allow you to prosper. Afterwards, I will no longer pursue the matter between you and Liu Yue. If you help me do something, you will definitely be able to obtain many benefits. "
Shi Anran smiled and stood up, "Or … How much time do you need to think? How long? Two hours? "One day?"
Shi Anran slowly walked to the chair and sat down.
The young maid held the paper bag tightly, "This servant has made up my mind, this servant agrees."
"Remember what you said." Shi Anran said indifferently.
The young maid nodded her head and looked at the paper bag in her hands, before probing, "This servant dares to ask, what exactly is inside?"
Shi Anran looked at her, "If you don't say it, I would have forgotten to remind you. Don't touch this thing carelessly, or else you might not be able to give birth to children in the future. Don't blame me."
The young maid looked at Shi Anran's cold eyes and winced.
"You can leave. No one is to know about this. Otherwise... You should know the consequences. " Shi Anran ordered coldly.
"Yes." This servant will definitely do it. " The young maid quickly fled.
After the servant left, Shi Anran looked at Liu Yue beside him, her gaze dark and unclear, "Liu Yue, come over."
"Miss?" Liu Yue inexplicably walked over to Shi Anran's side.
Shi Anran looked at her, and her gaze landed on her sleeves. She suddenly pulled Liu Yue's hand and pulled up his dirty sleeves, the skin under the sleeves was bright red and slightly swollen, it was obvious that the soup had not been cooked long ago.
"Creak." The door was gently pushed open, and the two maidservants who had left earlier walked in. "Young Miss."
Shi Anran glanced at them, "Give Liu Yue some medicine and she'll probably have found the scalding medicine. Liu Yue applied the medicine and went to rest. "You're being honest with yourself. You actually thought of such a way to torture others and yourself."
Liu Yue gasped, "There is no other way. Your servant will take my leave first. "
Shi Anran nodded lightly, leaning on the beauty's bed, thinking about something unknown.
In the evening, a maidservant dressed in pink sneakily entered the kitchen.
At this time, the dinner had just ended and most of the people in the kitchen were resting. The servant girl initially thought that no one was around, but upon entering, she discovered that there was a grandma making soup. Pretending that he accidentally bumped into his wife, the moment he entered the door he enthusiastically welcomed her. "Nanny Wang?" Why isn't he resting? I see everyone outside. "
The woman turned around, and seeing that it was the servant girl beside Third Concubine, she quickly smiled and replied, "It's a bright red! After all, Third Concubine had just sent Xie Hong over, saying that he wanted to drink the Silver Ear Soup, so I stayed behind to make the soup. What? Was it Third Concubine who asked you to watch it? "
