"Tell me! Why did you want to murder your mother?!"
The maid was kicked so hard that she knelt on the ground with a scream, trembling and said, "Slave, I don't know what you are talking about..."
The others were stunned. Third Yiniang's expression changed slightly, but she could still keep her composure.
Nanny Zhang hurried forward and looked at Sheng Niannian in confusion, "Princess, this is Cui'er, the girl who specializes in brewing medicine for Madam."
"Tui'er has always been honest, did you make a mistake?"
How could this Cui'er do something so hurtful to my wife? She almost died!
Sheng Niannian didn't say anything, just opened Cui'er's sleeves and pointed to a brown mark on her arm.
"This Tweety has a very strange fragrance on her body, which is exactly musk."
"Although it's not obvious, it looks out of place with Agarwood in this room."
"If there is any medicinal material that would conflict with my prescription, it would be musk. Once musk touches the skin, it is extremely difficult to clean off."
"I also wanted to see if there was anything on her body. Unexpectedly, I caught her right away. Tell me, why did you harm my mother like this?! Who ordered you?!"
Everyone was horrified. They didn't expect Sheng Niannian to be able to identify the person behind the poison just by smelling it.
Ye Xuan also found it incredible and admired Sheng Niannian even more.
Only a courageous and meticulous woman like the princess can match the prince. In comparison, Concubine Jiang in the palace seems very pretentious.
Nanny Zhang listened dumbfounded. After she came to her senses, she immediately asked Tweetie sadly, "Tweety, Madam is usually not bad to you, how dare you?!"
Cui'er panicked. She didn't know that she would be exposed so easily. She was scared to death. "Princess, please forgive me, Princess, please forgive me! I slave, I didn't do it on purpose. I was forced to do this because I had no choice but to do this!"
"This slave only thought that this was something that would temporarily make Madam's health worse. She never thought it would be so serious!"
"Forced to have no choice?" Sheng Niannian was in a very bad mood today, with a compelling murderous intent in her eyes, "Everyone has the right to choose, Cui'er, you know you are hurting people, but you still
You did it without hesitation and helped the tyrants do evil. According to the law, this princess should kill you!"
"But I heard from my mother that you are honest and honest in daily life, and I can see that you have not lost your humanity. If you tell me who instigated you, I will spare your life."
Cui'er hadn't spoken yet. At this time, Third Yiniang suddenly stepped forward with a sarcastic smile, pretending to speak on the surface, but in fact her eyes were fierce and somewhat coercive, "Yes, as long as you speak 'well', the princess might be able to..."
Show mercy.”
Hearing this, Cui'er immediately shrank and hid, her eyes full of fear.
"Did I ask you to speak?" Sheng Niannian flicked the knife in the eye, and the third aunt immediately shut her mouth.
Ye Xuan immediately pulled Third Yiniang aside and said in a cold voice, "Princess, if you talk too much, I will be rude to you!"
Grandma Zhang was furious, but she dared not speak out.
Sheng Niannian glanced at Cui'er, "If you don't say anything, then drag her down and kill her with a stick!"
Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to drag her down, Cui'er immediately became frightened and quickly pointed out: "The princess doesn't want it, but the slave girl said it was her! The third aunt asked the slave girl to do it!"
Turns out to be the third aunt?!
Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction of Third Yiniang.
Nanny Zhang was so angry that she almost fainted. When she met Sheng Niannian's cold and ruthless eyes, she became even more panicked and hurriedly yelled: "You, what are you talking about?!"
After saying that, she looked at Sheng Niannian again, "Princess, do you believe what a cheap servant says?"
"Besides, I am the aunt of the general's palace. If the princess disposes of me based on just a few words from a maid, aren't you afraid that the master will come back to hold you accountable?!"
Why is Sheng Niannian so crazy? Even she wouldn’t dare to do something to him!
Cui'er cried, pulling the skirt of Sheng Niannian's skirt, and said her testimony in one breath, "I didn't lie! Princess, I really didn't lie!"
"Third Yi Niang has been jealous of Madam for a long time. A few days ago, for some unknown reason, she suddenly gave the slave fifty taels of silver and said that as long as the slave adds this musk to Madam's medicine."
"Slave, I didn't dare at first, but then she pressed harder and harder, and even threatened the lives of my family. Only then did I have the courage to do something that I can't do to my wife. I really deserve to die, but I really don't have any
lie!"
As she said that, she took out fifty taels of silver and said, "Princess, the silver distributed in the palace is all marked. This is the evidence. You can tell at a glance that this is the silver taels from my aunt's room..."
Third Yiniang suddenly felt uneasy. She didn't expect this cheap maid to bite her so hard. She should have killed them together if she had known, at least she wouldn't have trapped herself in such a situation!
Nanny Zhang immediately checked the silver that Cui'er took out. It was indeed from the third aunt's mother's room. She nodded to Sheng Niannian.
Sheng Niannian felt a layer of coldness in her heart. Looking at the fifty taels, her eyes became sinister and mocking.
A human life is only worth fifty taels, how ridiculous!
If she was one step later today, her mother would not be able to survive!
"Do you think I can't deal with you?" Sheng Niannian looked at San Yiniang, who was calm and showed no trace of regret or fear, and approached her step by step.
"Now that I am Princess Han, I am also the legitimate daughter of Sheng Yi. Do you think I can't handle a lowly aunt?"
Her pretty face is hidden in the shadows, and her dark eyes are frightening.
The third aunt swallowed her throat, but she was still not afraid of the boiling water and insisted on confronting him, "You...my money was stolen by someone, it was not given to her by this aunt. Moreover, with just a little girl, you can do it."
You want to convict me...ah!"
Before Third Yiniang could finish speaking, Sheng Niannian suddenly pulled out the sword from Ye Xuan's waist and struck at Third Yiniang, directly cutting off Third Yiniang's left arm.
"Ah——" Third Yiniang's heart-rending wail resounded throughout the general's residence, and blood instantly bloomed into a shower and sprinkled everywhere.
She was rolling on the ground in pain, and the servants next to her were frightened. Nanny Zhang turned pale with fright, and looked at Sheng Niannian in disbelief.
Is this the same silly, timid and cowardly young lady who was in the general's mansion before?
However, although the method is harsh, it is extremely reassuring.
Sheng Niannian's blood-stained skirt swayed slightly, and she looked at Third Yiniang without changing her expression. Her beautiful face looked creepy at this moment.
"The way you use poison is very similar to someone I know, and my mother no longer cares about anything. Why do you suddenly want her life? Is there someone behind the scenes?"
Looking at Sheng Niannian's expressionless face, Third Yiniang finally panicked, not only because her broken hand hurt her heart, but also because Sheng Niannian now made her feel scared.
Sheng Niannian is really different from before! He is simply a devil!
If this continues, she can really kill herself!
Third Yiniang was so scared that she huddled on the ground, her messy hair was wet with cold sweat, she tightly covered her broken arm, "Yes, someone gave me advice, I told you, don't kill me..."
