”Third Miss!” Peony miserably yelled out Lian Shiya's name. Her forehead was covered in sweat, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her face revealed a painful expression. She crawled towards Lian Shiya with great difficulty, her hands tightly grabbing the hem of her skirt. ”Third Miss, save, save me.”

Seeing this, Aunt Xiao immediately walked over, secretly grabbing onto Peony's arm with all her strength, and scolded, ”Slut girl, what are you doing!? Even if the third miss had always been kind to people and had always thought of servants, she would still ignore you. If the old lady wanted to punish you, then you'd have to be punished; otherwise, it would not be as simple as breaking your hands and feet! ”

Lian Yue looked at her coldly and shook her head. 'Auntie Xiao is really a dog that jumped off the wall in a hurry. For the sake of letting Peony take the blame, she actually said such threatening words so clearly.

However, who knew that this peony wasn't easy to fool either. Since her legs were half broken, if Aunt Xiao and Third Miss wanted to throw her off, then … Then she would throw caution to the wind!

Thus, she gritted her teeth and turned towards her mother, screaming, ”Old madam, you have seen clearly that Third Miss ordered this servant to do this. This servant is too soft with his words, and does not dare to offend any master, so I have no choice but to obey.

What...

Lian Ma suddenly looked at Lian Shiya. His eyes were like the Fiery Eyes of Truth. ”It's you?”

She walked up to Peony in a few steps, pretending to be angry. Ignoring the fact that she was greeting the kind Third Miss, she raised her hand and slapped her face, scolding, ”Slave, I don't usually interact with you. In order to protect myself, you actually splashed dirty water on me!”

Peony's face swelled up from being hit, and blood started to flow out from the corner of her mouth, but she still gritted her teeth and said, ”Third Miss, you have to be honest! Three days ago, you came to Qing An Yuan under the name of taking care of the daffodils. You secretly gave a packet of medicinal powder to your servant. Now that there's been an accident, seeing that this servant is about to lose her hand, how could Third Miss only think of protecting herself? ”

Three days ago...

Lian Rou recalled that three days ago, Lian Shiya did indeed come to Qing An Courtyard through the heavy rain and had indeed arrived near the fox house. At that time, she even refused the servant girl's company; the more she thought about it, the more disheartened she became!

”You are slandering me, I have never told you to do such a thing!” Lian Shiya was anxious and wished that she could immediately kill this servant!

”Madame, please don't listen to this lowly servant's nonsense. The Third Miss' filial piety towards you can be seen by the heavens. She definitely wouldn't do such a thing.” ”You lowly slave, if you continue to speak such nonsense, I will pull out your teeth!” Auntie Xiao never thought that things would turn out like this.

”Heh.” Second Madam Hu let out a sneer and said, ”That's strange. There are so many girls in our Prime Minister Manor. Mother, I think the situation is clear now. Auntie Xiao and Lian Shiya are not satisfied with you taking back the power of the harem to elder sister-in-law, colluding with these lowly maidservants to harm you. Or directly against you? ”

When her mother heard Hu Shi's words, she thought about the whole thing and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

”No, no, madame, I have been by your side for many years. Thank you for your meticulous advice, only now did I have a place in the Prime Minister's Estate. How could I have the guts to be disrespectful to you?!” Come to think of it, in the past, I had offended a lot of people while I was in the back residence. Now, someone had intentionally tried to take revenge on me, but accidentally dragged the innocent Third Miss down. ” Aunt Xiao knelt on the ground, tightly holding her mother's hand as she sobbed. Seeing her mother's complexion grow more and more unsightly, and the disappointment in her face growing deeper and deeper, this was the first time she felt completely at ease.

His mother was filled with rage as she said in a stern voice:

”Someone, drag Third Young Miss down, serve her by family law, and lock her in the temple. Without my permission, you are not allowed to come out. As for Auntie Xiao …”

”Wait, Mother.” At this time, the silent Lian Yanqing suddenly spoke up. He came up to drag away Lian Shiya's servant before stopping.
