"Misunderstanding?" Chu Yunning sneered, pointing to Wang Sanniang's shoes: "Only Lengxiang Garden has black soil, how come your shoes are stained with black soil?"
Everyone looked along and saw the black soil on the edges of Wang Sanniang's shoes.
Wang Sanniang opened her mouth, unable to argue, she could only look at Ye Yan'er pleadingly.
Ye Yaner's heart sank, and she was annoyed that Lu Xiu couldn't do things well and found such a fool.
"The concubine is kind-hearted and generous, which is why these slaves ignore the rules of the palace and do some thefts. Yesterday the Queen Mother punished Aunt Fang. Today there is another Wang Sanniang. Who should be the queen?"
Chu Yunning smiled sarcastically, as if waiting for Ye Yan'er to explain.
Ye Yan'er immediately knelt in front of Prince Xiao: "It's Yan'er who is in trouble as a housekeeper, please punish me."
Prince Xiao stared at Chu Yunning with a solemn expression, treating him as a fool. Little did he know that the more Chu Yunning bullied Ye Yaner, the more disgusted he became with Chu Yunning.
"You are making such a fuss just so that the king can punish the concubine for her poor stewardship? The princess is really serious about it."
Chu Yunning rolled her eyes speechlessly. This prince is really not light on love. He was thinking about someone trying to harm Ye Yan'er. He didn't bother to go around in circles and directly pointed out the purpose of his visit: "Does the prince know that someone followed Bei Bei an hour ago and almost strangled Bei Bei to death?
Bei, if Bei Bei's fate hadn't escaped, he would have been in danger right now."
King Xiao was suddenly stunned.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I have never seen Beibei."
Wang Sanniang cried out for injustice, but instead beat her up: "My slave had trouble at home, so I had no choice but to steal the hairpin. I have no grudges against Beibei, so why bother to strangle him? But the princess has evil intentions and took advantage of a simple and innocent child."
You are here to wrongly accuse a good man, my lord, please do not listen to the princess’s words.”
Wang Sanniang's brain works very fast. She can't deny stealing things, and the worst she can do is get a slap in the face.
Attempting to strangle Beibei is definitely a capital offense.
Ye Yaner suddenly smiled, this person is not too stupid.
Chu Yunning went around in such a big circle, but he got himself involved, he deserved it!
Facing Prince Xiao's questioning look, Chu Yunning knew that this guy probably believed it.
In his eyes, he gained another reputation for being unscrupulous before achieving his goals.
"Chu Yunning, you are so cruel!"
While talking, King Xiao did not forget to help Ye Yaner up.
Chu Yunning raised her chin: "Who said that Wang Sanniang and Beibei have no grievances? This hairpin is evidence of guilt. Today, Beibei went back to Lengxiang Garden to pick up the leftover things, and happened to encounter Wang Sanniang sneaking around in Lengxiang Garden.
After searching, Wang Sanniang had every reason to become angry and vicious towards Beibei!"
This reason makes sense.
Chu Yunning pointed at Wang Sanniang: "Master, do you dare to hand this person over to me? I only need an hour to make her speak the truth."
Before Xiao Wang could speak again, Chu Yunning quickly stuffed a pill into Wang Sanniang's mouth.
Wang Sanniang covered her throat in shock, and Chu Yunning snorted coldly: "Don't worry, it's not some kind of poison that goes through the intestines and throat. It won't kill anyone."
After burning the incense, Wang Sanniang knelt on the ground like a puppet, her expression dull.
"Where did you go today, what did you do, and who did you meet? Have you seen Yu Lingling?"
"I got up in the morning to cut firewood and met Miss Luxiu. Miss Luxiu gave the slave one hundred taels of silver and asked her to go to Lengxiang Garden to deal with the evildoer. So the slave went to Lengxiangyuan and strangled the evildoer to death.
This slave has never seen Yu Lingling."
After Wang Sanniang finished speaking mechanically, she lowered her head and stayed still. After a while, she woke up again, as if she had just woken up, and had no idea what had just happened.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Chu Yunning explained: "What I gave Wang Sanniang just now was Ningxiang Pills bought from the drug store. It can make people fall asleep within a stick of incense and tell the truth hidden deep in their hearts."
Of course, Ningxiang Pill can only deal with some people who are not determined.
Now everyone's eyes fell on Luxiu.
Luxiu was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and opened her mouth, only to see Ye Yaner's fingertips brushing against the sachet tied around her waist.
The sachet was embroidered by her natal sister-in-law, who was the embroiderer in the house, and everyone in her natal family worked in the house.
Ye Yaner was threatening her.
Luxiu gritted her teeth and shouted angrily at Chu Yunning: "Yes, this was all my idea. Five years ago, you caused your concubine to have a miscarriage but you were still safe. I hate you so much!"
Ye Yan'er looked at Luxiu in feigned shock, with disbelief on her face: "The grudges between adults have nothing to do with children, how dare you do such a thing behind my back!"
"Concubine, your child is also innocent. Just because you are kind-hearted does not mean that the princess is the same. If you have this child, the princess may bully you in any way. I can't stand it and make the decision without permission."
After speaking, Lu Xiu kowtowed to Ye Yan'er and slammed into a pillar on one side, not giving Chu Yunning a chance to feed her Ningxiang Pills.
Blood splattered on the spot, his eyes widened and he took his breath.
Everyone exclaimed, and the timid maid was so frightened that she fainted.
Chu Yunning just stared at Ye Yan'er with a calm and indifferent expression.
She didn't believe Lu Xiu's nonsense.
The person behind the scenes is Ye Yaner. She had guessed this ending when Wang Sanniang confessed to Green Sleeves.
As expected, Green Sleeve became the scapegoat and must die.
She had no intention of letting Luxiu go today. With Chu'er's death, this girl's hands were stained with blood.
As for Ye Yan'er, sooner or later, Ye Yan'er will repay her twice as much.
Ye Yan'er screamed in fright, threw herself into Prince Xiao's arms and trembled, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she kept mumbling: "How...how could this happen?"
Prince Xiao hugged Ye Yaner, covered her eyes, and scolded people to handle the scene as quickly as possible.
Ye Yan'er struggled to raise her head from Prince Xiao's arms, looked at Chu Yunning with tears on her face, and said guiltily: "Princess, it's all because of my lax discipline, Yan'er is willing to accept any punishment from you."
Chu Yunning waved her hand magnanimously: "Those who don't know are not guilty. It's all Luxiu's fault. I don't blame the concubine."
Unexpectedly, Chu Yunning let Ye Yaner go.
Ye Yan'er refused to let it go. She knelt at Chu Yuning's knees, raised her hand and slapped herself twice hard. The force was fast and hard. After a while, her fair and jade-like face became swollen.
Chu Yunning felt pain just looking at her. This woman was so cruel to her.
"The princess is generous and does not blame Yan'er. Yan'er feels uneasy. From now on, Yan'er plans to copy scriptures for the princess and Beibei a thousand times to atone for their sins."
Ye Yaner's move made Xiao Wang feel much less angry, and he pulled her to stand up.
"Yan'er, that's enough."
Just at this time, the housekeeper came over carefully holding the Feather Spirit Token, saying that he had picked it up in the grass on the roadside.
Chu Yunning took it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. Beibei is just a child. All the slaves in the house look down on him and secretly harm his life. I only ask the prince
Can I give Beibei an explanation?"
At this moment, Chu Yunning acted as a mother to beg Prince Xiao.
Due to both emotion and reason, Prince Xiao should give Beibei an explanation, so he ordered Sanniang Wang to be killed in front of everyone.
He also threatened that Beibei was the eldest son of the royal family. If anyone slandered him privately in the future, he would end up like Wang Sanniang.
Wang Sanniang's cries and screams echoed through half of the palace, and all the servants looked horrified.
For a time, no one dared to underestimate the princess.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Chu Yunning comforted Ye Yan'er with concern: "Child, it's all about fate. Maybe there is a famous doctor who can cure the concubine. Don't be discouraged, concubine, the future is bright."
Ye Yan'er clenched her fists tightly. She was negligent in this battle and lost miserably. Her lips were trembling and she couldn't utter a single word. The hatred in her heart only increased.
If Ye Yan'er dares to hurt Beibei, she will let Ye Yan'er slowly taste the loss of what she cares about most.
Prince Xiao, Chu Yunning didn't care at all, but in order to hit Ye Yan'er, Chu Yunning didn't mind performing a green tea show and following Ye Yan'er's path.
"Your Majesty, after all, Luxiu has been with the concubine for so many years. I'm worried that the concubine will have nightmares at night. Your Majesty, please spend more time with the concubine."
Ye Yaner recalled the miserable situation of Luxiu, her heart tightened, and she glared at Chu Yunning angrily, she must have done it on purpose!
"How is Beibei?" Prince Xiao couldn't help but be concerned.
Chu Yunning shook her head and sighed: "Beibei is only four years old. He was frightened a lot and finally fell asleep."
Prince Xiao thought of Beibei's dark eyes full of fear, and felt a little distressed, and said: "I will visit Beibei later."
Ye Yaner was shocked, when did Prince Xiao actually approve of Beibei?
"good."
Chu Yunning complied and bowed her knees to say goodbye.
After Prince Xiao coaxed Ye Yan'er to calm down, his thoughts had drifted away. Ye Yan'er asked in a low voice: "Will the prince blame Yan'er?"
Prince Xiao was silent. He grew up in the palace and had never seen the methods of concubines in the harem.
Beibei has been living peacefully for the past five years. He just showed up yesterday and was almost strangled to death today.
Although Lu Xiu admitted his crime, Prince Xiao still had a grudge in his heart.
Seeing this, Ye Yaner's heart sank and she felt something bad. This was the first time that Prince Xiao had shown a distant look towards her since she married Prince Xiao.
Chu Yunning's move of retreating in order to advance directly put a thorn in Prince Xiao's heart. It was really hateful!
