Man Ping's face immediately paled, she could not even care about the wounds on her body that had been burned by the hot porridge, but she still held onto a thread of hope and forced a laugh: ”What did the lady say? Why can't this servant understand? This porridge was personally made by Female Cook Zhang this morning. It was only when Hui Xiu was there that the porridge was served.

Jin Lan stared intently at Man Ping, then suddenly bared his teeth and smiled, ”In that case, I was wrong about you.”

Man Ping lowered her eyes and muttered: ”This servant doesn't dare …”

At first, Madame SHen only watched with interest, but later on, she more or less felt that something was amiss. Adding the words Jin Lan had shouted at her, her heart sank.

Although she had been enjoying her life being touched by the Shen Family since she was young, it was not rare for her to find out about the profanities within the Inner Court. Furthermore, after marrying into the Ye Family for so many years, there were many twists and turns within the Shen Family.

Now that he saw his daughter acting this way, what could he not understand?

But Man Ping was a servant girl that she trusted and supported wholeheartedly!

Madame SHen's heart slowly cooled down, and her spirit, which she had difficulty recovering with, was like a wilted flower petal in the autumn sun, slowly falling from the branch and turning into mud.

Suddenly, she felt the back of her hand warm up. Her eyes shifted slightly, and a worried little face appeared in front of her eyes.

”Mother.” Jin Lan tightly held onto Madame SHen's hand. What she was most afraid of was that Madame SHen would not be affected by such betrayal.

In the inner room just now, the light didn't look as bright as the outside, but now that she looked carefully, Madame SHen realised that her daughter's usually unadorned face was covered with a thin layer of powder, especially under the autumn water cut eyes, it was possible to see that there was a light green under the powder.

This child probably hadn't slept well the entire night!

Madame SHen's heart suddenly felt a bit of pain, probably because Jin Lan had already noticed Man Ping earlier, no wonder he was always allowed to eat at the Shuixie Pavilion. It wasn't until now that she found out. It was most likely because she was afraid that her body wouldn't be able to bear the brunt of the blow.

Lan Er, Lan Er... Madame SHen closed her eyes, covering the dense look in her eyes. She was only ten years old, but she was worried sick for her mother!

How long had she been weak? So much so that these people had all forgotten her original personality!

Madame SHen took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes. She first smiled at Jin Lan, and lightly patted the catkin on the back of her left hand, then turned to Man Ping, his eyes shining, and said, ”I don't know if this porridge is thick enough, but you can help me taste it.”

Man Ping's heart skipped a beat, she raised her head in panic, ”Madam ….”

The corner of Madame SHen's mouth hooked into a sneer. Her pitch-black eyes were cold and sinister. ”I told you to eat the porridge!”

Hui Xiu was confused. In the past few days, her wife did not allow them to wait upon her, and all the food and clothing in the house were taken over by Mama Zhu. Although she had her doubts, she did not dare to say anything. It was still early in the morning when Mu Lan, who was standing in front of Second Miss, knocked on the door. She said that she wanted her and Man Ping to wait on his wife in her room, but did not expect such a thing to happen.

Although Man Ping was still calm, but Hui Xiu knew her well, how could she not see her fear? But all these years, Hui Xiu and Man Ping had been serving inside Madame SHen's house, and because they didn't want her to do this kind of thing, they couldn't help but advise, ”Man Ping, your wife rewarding the porridge is also your honor, you should hurry up and drink it!”

As matters stood, Man Ping had no other choice. Clenching her teeth, she picked up the spoon and scooped another spoonful of porridge, trembling as she tried to put it into her mouth.

Following the cracking sound of the spoon hitting the ground, Man Ping suddenly knelt down. ”Bang bang bang bang” She kowtowed fiercely, and started crying as she kowtowed: ”This servant deserves to die! Mistress, please spare this servant! ”

Madame SHen only felt that her entire heart had sunk into the water. Letting Man Ping drink the porridge, wasn't it also giving her a chance to wash herself clean?

Now, what was there to deceive?

She laughed at herself in her heart. Her expression became increasingly indifferent. ”You deserve to die, but now is not the time. Say it, who instructed you to do so?”

Man Ping raised her head and looked at Madame SHen in panic, the color of her face slowly drained. She had sold herself into the since childhood, and the first master she followed was her wife.

Although his wife had a soft personality, and she was a kind person, even the old lady couldn't compare to her stubbornness in the bones. Otherwise, she wouldn't have choked until the old lady moved to Jiayu Hall, no longer caring about side issues. If it wasn't for the fact that my wife accidentally dropped a brother and injured her body …

Most likely, this was not the case in the Residence right now.

At this moment, under the's gaze, Man Ping had the guts to face the Eldest Wife who had just entered the palace and was sitting firmly in a high seat! The thought almost came out of his mouth, but when he thought of the people outside, he swallowed it down and gritted his teeth, ”This is all my doing. I have no one else to instruct me!”

Hui Xiu was shocked and angry at the same time, scolding with a face full of heartache: ”Man Ping, you, why are you this foolish! Madame has been very kind to us, but you actually did such a thing! ”
