Chapter 42 It’s hard to tell the truth from the false
After a while, Ning Xiang came. She didn't look as embarrassed as everyone imagined. Instead, she had exquisite makeup, a dark green dress, and long hair. Her elegant demeanor from a distance was no less elegant than that of a lady.
"Licorice was found in your room, what else do you have to say?" Mu Qingyang quickly calmed down her thoughts, narrowed her eyes and stared at Ning Xiang, and shot out a cold look, "Who ordered you?"
Liu Yun has always thought that such questioning is a very interesting thing. The interrogator hopes that the suspect will tell his purpose straightforwardly, but in fact, how many people will be so honest.
"Ning Xiang has served the Second Madam for many years and has never done anything that exceeds the rules. She abides by her dignity and inferiority. Since Ning Xiang sold herself to the Mu Mansion to serve the Second Madam, she will never go against the master's wishes." Ning Xiang knelt down and raised her head.
, there was no sign of humility at all, but she was more energetic than usual. She kowtowed suddenly, "The licorice was prepared for me by my slave. Please look into it."
With just one word, the situation suddenly reversed. The original suspicion of murdering her master was cleared. Instead, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they wanted to know why she, a young maid, wanted to have herself sterilized.
"Why do you want to use it for yourself?" Lin raised her eyebrows and did not relax because of Ning Xiang's explanation. She was the person who knew Ning Xiang best. She was cautious and thoughtful in doing things and would always leave a way out for herself, so she
What you say and do may not be true.
"Ning Xiang knows that the second lady wants to help the master, but unfortunately the second lady is not as good as before, so she wants to recruit new people for the master. The Mu family has a great business, but it cannot tolerate those people who have evil intentions. I know this.
The second lady wants to find a caring and lovely person among the maids to send to the master to serve." After Ning Xiang said this, she raised her head and glanced at Master Mu, and continued, "The second lady has always favored this slave, but I really don't want to leave.
Madam, that’s why you came up with such a method.”
Mu Qingyang's face was really ugly. The young and beautiful woman next to his concubine would rather use such a decisive method than serve him. It was a very embarrassing thing for him, but he said it in front of so many people.
came out.
"Presumptuous. How can you, a little slave, speculate about the master's affairs? What's more, if the master can take a fancy to you, it will be your blessing. How dare you avoid being favored like this? You are simply eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard." Lin
Shi slammed the table and pointed at Ning Xiang angrily, "It's all my fault that I dote on you so much that you are so pampered."
"Aunt Lin, don't be too busy getting angry. If this is true, then Ning Xiang is just a loyal slave. But if you use it to frustrate us, huh, then don't blame me for being rude."
Liu Yun raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "You said you prepared this Honggan to eat by yourself? Then tell me when you got it and did you eat it?"
Ning Xiang nodded calmly, "I picked it up at the medical clinic when I was on the street not long ago. I have been busy with the old lady's birthday recently, so... I haven't eaten it."
"Since you haven't eaten it, how can you prove that these things are not meant to harm other aunts?" Liu Yun walked up to Mrs. Lin, looking very worried for her, "Aunt Lin is devoted to planning for our Mu family. If she ends up in the end,
Isn't it too unjust to be accused of murdering the heirs of the Mu family? Although these harmful herbs were found in Ning Xiang's room, she is her aunt's confidant maid after all. Even though we all believe that her aunt will never murder anyone.
It’s hard for others to stop Youyou’s mouth.”
Liu Yun's words were exactly what Mu Qingyang was thinking. He didn't believe that Mrs. Lin could have such a vicious heart. She already had a son and a daughter. Although his son was useless, he was the first to learn business from him.
, Moreover, Liuyun and Yuchen have no biological mothers, they have been raised by her since childhood, and her status in the Mu family is unmatched. Logically speaking, she would not use such a method to retain her favor.
It's just that people's words are terrible. If such a thing spreads, then Lin will probably never be able to stand up again. Let alone being the main wife, she may not even be able to keep her current position.
"This servant made the decision on her own. I ask the master and the eldest lady not to anger the second lady. The second lady has no idea at all." Ning Xiang lowered her eyes and bit her lip, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, looking pitiful.
Why do you want to hide something? This is how you desperately confess your guilt.
Murderous intent flashed through Mu Qingyang's eyes. He would never keep such a slave in his house. Regardless of whether her possessions were for his own use or to harm others, he would rather kill her by mistake than let her go.
Lord.
"Master, Ning Xiang has always been well-behaved. Please be magnanimous and let her live." With just one sentence, Lin's position was made clear, and her plea was a reminder for Ning Xiang.
No one noticed that a flash of sadness quickly flashed in Ning Xiang's eyes, except for one person, who had been secretly paying attention to her.
"I heard that if some medicines are taken, diagnosis can be made. I wonder if it's true?" Mrs. Jiang, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly took a step forward and turned slightly. When she saw the master looking at her, she quickly lowered her head shyly.
Mu Qingyang stared at Mrs. Jiang intently, and suddenly realized that she was a bit more beautiful than usual today. The amorous look in her eyes was something she had never seen before, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile.
"Doctor, is this true?" Mu Qingyang asked the doctor on the side.
"Yes, it is true, especially herbs such as licorice, which are extremely harmful to women's bodies." The doctor nodded and took out a pulse diagnosis tissue from the medicine box at hand.
At Mu Qingyang's signal, he checked the pulses of several aunts. They were all fine and showed no signs of sterilization. However, Lin's pulse was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird at the moment.
, I thought that I would wait until I got back to study it carefully before making a decision. Otherwise, if I told about Lin's pulse at this time, I might cause another commotion.
"Master, what Ning Xiang said should be true." Xia coughed a few times and said calmly.
If someone else intercedes, Mr. Mu will not pay attention to it, but the person who made it clear was replaced by Xia, he turned his head and glanced at her, and then said, "Ning Xiang, bring these things into the house privately, that's it.
You made a big mistake, go down with the butler to receive your punishment."
The two nurses took Ning Xiang outside the door to receive her punishment, but they could only hear her groaning, and no one looked at the bloody mess all over her body.
Only Liu Yun secretly clenched his fists, and the sound of knocking fell on Ning Xiang's body and pierced into the bottom of her heart. The stinging pain spread. She had also been punished by such a stick before.
"Why does the eldest lady look so ugly?" Mrs. Xia was the first to notice Liu Yun's pale complexion and couldn't help but become worried.
"It's okay." Liu Yun shook his head and sighed, "Ning Xiang has always been the most decent and cautious slave in Aunt Lin's yard. It's really surprising that she would make such a mistake."
Liu Yun didn't say anything more, because a suspicious person like Mu Qingyang would definitely have thoughts based on what her usually straightforward daughter said. She believed that these were things Lin didn't want.
"Master, Ning Xiang fainted." Uncle Zhong walked in and reported.
"Lock her to the servant's room and let her think about it for a few days." Mu Qingyang waved her hand, as if she was too lazy to say anything more.
No one noticed that Liu Yun flashed an expression of joy, because no one would believe that such a complicated plot unfolded just because of a little maid.
