Several helpers covered their mouths and noses with cloths. Although the smell of the chili was fragrant, it was really choking. Let alone frying it in several pots at the same time, the taste would be doubled.
Jiang Miao was also covered tightly. Because she had done it herself, her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing her white forearms. In the corner, a tightly wrapped woman in gray clothes stared closely at her wrists, with a flash in her eyes. Struggling, but becoming firm in the next moment.
"Okay, pour the fried base into this bucket, and now start frying the next pot."
There was an oversized wooden bucket placed in front of Jiang Miao. Several helpers were holding pots and carefully pouring the base ingredients into it, for fear of splashing on her.
Jiang Miao stepped back to give them space, but as soon as she moved, she heard Shen Yanqing's heartbreaking roar outside the door.
"Miaoya, get out of the way!"
She turned around in confusion and saw the big pot in the hands of the helper behind her being thrown at her.
"ah!"
If that pot of boiling hot oil were poured on her, Jiang Miao would be disfigured even if she died. Her mind would go blank, but the more critical the situation, the calmer she became.
Jiang Miao kicked her mother-in-law hard and hurriedly backed away. She staggered and dropped the pot on the ground. Although the hot oil did not splash on her body, some oil droplets splashed on her exposed forearm.
"hiss!"
Her arm was red and swollen. Jiang Miao was in pain. She covered her arm with tears streaming down her face.
"Liang Duo, hurry up and call the doctor!"
"Miaoya, are you okay? Let me take a look!"
Shen Yanqing's face was pale and his legs were weak. He trembled his lips and asked someone to call the doctor. Then he quickly stepped forward and ran to Jiang Miao, holding her hand carefully.
Her jade-white wrists were burnt several times with hot oil. Her skin was already white, and her skin was red and swollen, which made her look particularly frightening.
"Hiss, it hurts!"
Jiang Miao was not a squeamish person, but she was most afraid of pain. She cried out in pain just after burning a few hot oils. If all the hot oil from the pot were poured on her, Jiang Miao didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
"Madam, my hand slipped and I couldn't hold it steady, and I almost hurt my wife. Please spare me this time..."
The woman in gray was lying on the ground, her body was trembling, and she kept kowtowing to Jiang Miao. Shen Yanqing's face was gloomy, and he didn't believe that the woman didn't do it on purpose.
Although he was far away just now, he could see that the pot in the woman's hand was aimed at Jiang Miao. Otherwise, Jiang Miao would be standing on the other side of the barrel. The woman would choose to stay away from Jiang Miao to pour the ingredients. Why? It looks like he came prepared.
"Li Biao, put her in jail and find out who ordered her to harm my wife!"
"My lord, I am wronged. How dare I harm my wife? All of this was an accident. You have wronged me! Madam, you are the most kind-hearted and considerate servant. Please plead with me. You can punish me as much as you want, but don't lock me up." Go to jail. My Wu Liang is still sick. Who will take care of him when I go to jail? Madam, please spare me this time..."
The woman in gray knelt on the ground, crying in pain. She broke away from Li Biao's hand and crawled forward. She was about to hug Jiang Miao's leg. Shen Yanqing's eyes turned cold and she kicked him directly.
"Pull the person down quickly and interrogate him properly!"
"yes!"
Cold sweat broke out on Li Biao's forehead. This was the first time he saw Shen Yanqing angry. This woman had touched his vagina. Thinking that the pot of hot oil almost spilled on Jiang Miao just now, Li Biao's sympathy was completely gone. Dissipated.
If it is true as Shen Yanqing thinks, this woman was ordered to harm Madam, even if she was cut into pieces with a thousand knives, it would be difficult to satisfy the hatred in the hearts of adults.
"Get some cold water!"
Shen Yanqing's face was solemn, and he picked up Jiang Miao and carried her to their room. Jiang Miao nestled in his arms, her eyes soaked in the clothes on his chest. Summer clothes were already thin, and Shen Yanqing felt His chest was wet, and when he saw the tears on Jiang Miao's face, his heart almost broke.
"The doctor will be here soon, shall we soak in cold water first?"
He hugged her and sat down on the bed, while a servant was waiting beside him with cold water. Shen Yanqing saw Jiang Miao nodding, took her hand and gently put it into the water.
The wound was red, swollen and broken, and it hurt like a needle prick when immersed in water. Jiang Miao couldn't bear it and wanted to take out her hand. Shen Yanqing held it tightly, and he picked it up in distress, wishing he could suffer for Jiang Miao.
"Soak for a while longer and wait until the doctor comes to apply the medicine. Miaoyaguai..."
Shen Yanqing held her in his arms and kissed her forehead gently with his lips, trying to comfort her. Jiang Miao held the corner of his clothes tightly with her other hand and nodded slightly.
"Um."
She grimaced and endured the pain on her arms, hoping that the burns would not leave scars. Although ancient clothes did not expose her arms, she loved beauty and could not bear the slightest scar on her body.
"Fortunately, I escaped. If that pot of hot oil were poured on me, I would definitely be disfigured. It would be better to die..."
"If you say something stupid, you will be fine. Don't curse yourself!"
Shen Yanqing couldn't hear such words, but just thinking about it made him scared. He wouldn't be able to survive if Jiang Miaozhen had any shortcomings.
"I'm just saying... I don't know why Mrs. Wang wants to harm me?"
Jiang Miao was not stupid. Just as Shen Yanqing thought, Granny Wang's actions were all well-prepared and there was no such thing as a surprise.
But Jiang Miao had no enmity with her, and she was always considerate of her servants, never treated the people harshly, and cared about the people wholeheartedly. She couldn't figure out why Mrs. Wang wanted to harm her.
"Don't think too much, you will know when Li Biao investigates."
Shen Yanqing's eyes were frighteningly cold. Jiang Miao's safety was more important than anything else. Even if he was tortured, he would still pry open Mrs. Wang's mouth.
"Miaoya, are you injured? Who would be so cruel as to throw hot oil at you!"
Mrs. Zhang came in from outside when she heard the news. Her eyes were red when she saw the wound on Jiang Miao's arm.
"Does it hurt? Have you called the doctor? How did you take care of me, third brother, so that Mia Ya was so seriously injured!"
Mrs. Zhang was so distressed that she scolded Shen Yanqing. Shen Yanqing felt guilty and allowed his mother to beat and scold her, but Jiang Miao couldn't stand it and persuaded her.
"Mom, thanks to my husband's reminder this time, otherwise I might not be able to escape..."
"It's his fault. If he had managed his servants well, would he have allowed these bad guys to come to the county government?"
Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to let go of Jiang Miao and glared at Shen Yanqing fiercely.
"Mom, this time it's all my fault. From now on, servants of the county government will have to go through an investigation before they can come in. If there is anyone else who wants to harm Miaiya, I will find out!"
"Sir, the doctor is here!"
Li Biao panted and pulled the old doctor over. Because he ran so fast, the old doctor lost one of his shoes and the hat on his head was scattered. He was really embarrassed, but no one could care about his disheveled clothes at this time. .
