They had never seen Shen Yunchu's fierce appearance before. In addition, the pain from the board just penetrated the bone marrow. They had long been frightened, but the remaining reason told them that they could not admit it. The two of them glanced at Webster and chose remain silent.
Shen Yunchu said warmly: "I heard that when you punish disobedient little girls in private, you prick their fingernails with long needles, which can cause them to faint from pain. This kind of punishment is too light. If I were to interrogate them, I would Cut open the man's skull, pour lamp oil on it, and wait until the oil burns into his brain. Even a tough-boned man like him can't stand it. Do you want to try it?"
The maid from Lifengyuan couldn't bear it anymore. She was so frightened that she lost control of her urination and begged for mercy, "Jiaojiao, please forgive me. Mother Liu forced her to be a slave. Chunping accidentally touched Mother Liu's sleeve, so she let it go." Chunping paid her three taels of silver. Chunping said she couldn't afford the compensation, so she ordered the maids from Lifengyuan to beat Chunping. Later, she was afraid that Jiaojiao would make the decision for Chunping, so she had her face swollen and forced to do so. This slave gave false testimony on her behalf. It was Mother Liu who instigated Fourth Yi Niang to come and cause trouble in Wutong Garden. I heard it with my own ears."
Shen Yunchu raised his eyebrows angrily, "What did they say?"
"I heard them say that Jiaojiao killed someone, and she wants revenge on Jiaojiao." The maid had been frightened by Shen Yunchu for a long time. She closed her eyes and trembled. She would answer whatever Shen Yunchu asked.
"Snapped--"
The tea cup in Webster's hand fell to the ground, "The first lady is a weak little girl. She has no strength to restrain a chicken. Who can she kill? Come on, drag this bastard down and beat her with a stick for talking nonsense and harming her reputation." die!"
Shen Yunchu pursed his lips mockingly. It seemed that Wei Shi couldn't wait to kill someone and silence him. The reason was so high-sounding. How could she let Wei Shi get her wish? "Mom, please calm down. Don't ruin your reputation for mercy for your daughter." The reporter said, if she dies, then won’t her daughter’s crime of murder never be cleared up?”
This sounded like she was praising Webster, but in fact it was implying that she was too cruel and cruel towards the servants in the palace. If she executed the maid from Lifengyuan, it would actually prove Shen Yunchu's accusation. Webster's majestic gaze glanced over , as if to see through her thoughts, "In your opinion, what should I do?"
"There is no smoke without fire. Since she heard Fourth Yiniang and Mother Liu saying that her daughter killed someone, she might as well ask Fourth Yiniang to ask, wouldn't it be clear?"
"Nonsense!" Wei Shi was angry and turned to Wen Shi: "Look at the temper of a child like Chu Niang. People wrongly accused her of murder. She didn't rush to defend herself. She was confused first, but she still wanted to find someone. If someone comes to confront her, sister-in-law, please go and persuade her. Shen's Jiaojiao kills people. Can such gossip be spread out?"
Naturally, Mrs. Wen didn't know that Shen Yunchu had lied to his fourth concubine yesterday. She thought Shen Yunchu was really confused and hurriedly admonished her: "You child, the maid of Lifengyuan has made it clear that you are talking nonsense to save your life. How can you Can be fooled by her."
