Chapter 218 Forced to Helplessness
After conquering Cuiyue, Pei Xiner breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to send the maid whom Li sent back whom he colluded with Cuiyue to shock him. As for whether Li could understand her implication, it depends on Li himself. For Pei Xiner, Feng was the real enemy, and Li was just a follower. One more was not more, and one less was not less.
After doing all this, she only has so much to do for the time being. She can only force herself to relax her attention from this and remind herself that she will not achieve the right time.
Although Feng splashed dirty water on her, she handled it in time. With Zhao Yubao's secret support, the power of the general's housekeeper was still in the hands of Pei Xiner, which made Feng very dissatisfied. However, she could not confirm Pei Xiner's "crime" for one day, and could not blatantly seize her power in one day. She could only grit her teeth hatefully and secretly became ruthless and forced Juan'er to "confess" Pei Xiner's crime as soon as possible so that she could pull her off.
Two days later, the general's mansion seemed to be quiet, but in fact it was filled with a subtle tension. Although the servants in the mansion did not know what was going on, they had their own channels to see some signs from the details. In the past few days, Juan'er, who was beside Pei Xiner, followed in and out, then there were rumors that she was arrested and the servants who were almost becoming a sperm speculated that a "war" was about to begin between Feng and Pei Xiner. While people were panicked, they were full of excitement of wanting to read gossip.
Pei Xiner was a little unable to sit still. More than three days have passed. I guess Juan'er has suffered a lot of torture. Feng wanted to hear something that was not good for her from her mouth. He would definitely not treat her like a guest of honor. Juan'er is a despicable person. If she doesn't want to betray her, she would not let Feng die. How could Feng spare her easily?! The torture once or twice can be tolerated, but what if it were several days? What should Juan'er be tortured now? Will she actually have an unexpected situation?!
No, no, Pei Xiner comforted herself like this. After all, Feng did not want Juan'er's life, but her own. He would not let Juan'er die easily before he achieved his goal. She thought that she must rescue Juan'er as soon as possible, and the later the variables there would be.
After finally waiting for Zhao Yu to come back, she hurriedly sent someone to ask him about the result of finding the little maid. After a while, Zhao Yu came here, but his face was a little gloomy. When Pei Xiner saw it, her heart suddenly became cold.
"Master?" she shouted, feeling uneasy.
Zhao Yuqian passed by his hands and drank the dough, sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup beside him and drank a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "The maid's affairs cannot be verified. It's like this person has never appeared before."
He sighed deeply. If he hadn't known Pei Xiner's character well-behaved, he would have thought that this was an excuse for her to deliberately fabricate it to get out of trouble.
Although Pei Xiner had some mental preparations, she felt her heart sinking into the bottom of the valley. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said with some difficulty: "No matter who you are, you will always leave some traces after you come. It is impossible that you will not leave any traces completely. You must have found some clues, right?"

Pei Xiner frowned and said, "Big Grandma is already related to this matter. Now I am just revealing it, so how can I frame it?"
Juan'er dared not refute and lowered her head and said, "Yes, I have lost my words. But my aunt, my aunt, has limited abilities, and I am afraid that I cannot complete such an important task, which will cause trouble for my aunt."
Even if she was the most suspicious liner set up by Feng, she was the lowest level. It would be fine if she was ordered to do small things on weekdays. It would be a bit difficult for her to take the initiative to frame her backstage, but it would have the opposite effect.
Pei Xiner glanced at her, and did not scold her, but said lightly: "Let you do it, just to take a fancy to your origin. Since you can come to me, you may have some means to have them. You only need to provide these means. Aunt Sun will do other things. You can go to Aunt Sun and follow her orders."
Cui Yue suddenly felt nervous, and a cold air rose from her vest and spread to her limbs. She finally understood that Sun and Pei Xiner had been together for a long time. Sun's poisoning should have nothing to do with Feng, but the ending of the two directed and acted by themselves. Now the two of them have joined forces to make Feng take the blame. This can be regarded as having a scheming but not intentional. Feng knew nothing about it, so how could he escape?!
For the first time in her life, the thought of Feng's loss arose in her heart, and she suddenly felt that her vest was chilly, which made the cold sweat wet.
She hurriedly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "I understand, I will do it now."
Pei Xiner said slowly, "You should know my temper. If you do it well, I will naturally be rewarded. But if you don't do it well, you will have to settle the previous things together. You first betrayed me and then you failed to do what I gave you. If you punished multiple crimes, it would not be so simple to eliminate the crime."
Cuiyue knelt on the ground, dared not look up, and said, "I know, I will definitely try my best to complete what you have told me, and will not disappoint you again!"
Pei Xiner said "yes" without comment and said calmly: "Whether you can do it is not by saying it, but by doing it. I'm just waiting to see the result of your work. Remember, your life and the lives of your family are all in my control. Whether you can have a good end depends on your performance. Even if I fail in the end, I will definitely have the ability to let the person who betray me die before I die. Do you believe it?"
Her eyes were as cold as a knife, and they cut them on Cuiyue's body, making her feel like she was really being lingchi, and she couldn't help but feel even more terrified.
"I believe me, I never dare to suspect that my aunt is powerful."
Pei Xiner looked at her again, and a silent sigh came out in her heart. She suddenly felt extremely tired, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go down and look for Aunt Sun."
Cui Yue was already scared and frightened. After hearing this, she felt like she was amnesty and hurriedly kowtowed and retreated.
