The general kneels on the washboard again

Chapter 133 The Wolf is Anxious

Qin Wanwan put down the parrot in her hand and walked up to the maid.

"You are so brave." Qin Wanwan was intimidating without being angry.

The maid trembled: "I, I don't know."

Looks pitiful.

Qin Wanwan also said: "Yes, she can't be so stupid as to do it by herself."

Yue Niang also stood up and walked over to Qin Wanwan: "On New Year's Eve, something happened in the mansion. I think she understands people's hearts and thinks that I must have completely trusted them recently."

The maidservant's expression showed a hint of panic.

Yu Jian slashed at the maid's back with his knife: "Tell me or not?"

The maid spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

"It's the second house. Young Master Yun Sheng asked me to come."

Looking closely at the maid, I found she was quite pretty.

"Have you colluded with the Second House before?"

The maid covered her heart and said, "I used to be in Master Yunsheng's courtyard, but the mistress looked down on me and sent me to the kitchen here to be a vegetable maid."

Qin Wanwan was used to these tricks: "Really? Did you climb into the master's bed?"

The maid's face turned red immediately, but she did not deny it.

Yue Niang asked again, "What kind of poison is this?"

The maid quickly pulled out a packet of powder from her bosom: "This is not poison, it's an aphrodisiac."

"Why did Jiang Yunsheng give me this medicine?"

"Master Yunsheng didn't say anything."

"Your name is Xiaohong, right? You have a mother and a younger brother at home. The reason you can come to this small kitchen instead of being sold out is because your mother asked the Duke for permission, right?"

Yue Niang remembered this incident. A nanny who had worked in the kitchen for decades suddenly came to Jiang Songrui and said that she wanted to bring her daughter from the second house.

Seeing Xiaohong's face turn from red to white, Yue Niang continued, "Your brother is also studying in the school of the Duke's Mansion now."

After Yue Niang got married, she set up a separate school for the children born in the Duke's Mansion.

"Is there nothing wrong with you in our big house?"

Xiao Hong kowtowed repeatedly: "No matter how wrong I am, it's all Xiao Hong's fault. Please, Madam, don't implicate my mother and brother."

Yue Niang was very satisfied with the result, so she said to Yu Jian, "Go and bring her mother and brother here."

Xiaohong hit her head on the ground and it was bruised. She really used a lot of strength.

Qin Wanwan didn't say anything on the side. Firstly, this was Yue Niang's family affair. Secondly, being kind to the enemy would be cruel to oneself, and she didn't want to be both a role model and a role model.

Not long after, Yu Jian brought the person over.

Looking at Xiaohong kneeling on the ground with a broken head and bleeding, Nanny Zhang knew that this dead girl had offended the young lady, so she also pulled Xiaohong's brother to kneel down.

"Young Madam, please forgive me. This little girl is clumsy, but it was an unintentional mistake."

Yue Niang sneered, "Mammy, you didn't even ask her what she did wrong and just said it was an unintentional mistake? Is poisoning also an unintentional mistake?"

"Poisoned?" Aunt Zhang was so shocked that she almost fainted. She chased Xiao Hong and started beating her, cursing as she beat her: "You troublesome little girl, you are here to collect a debt. What sin have I committed?"

Yu Jian forcibly separated the two.

Yue Niang then said to the miserable Xiao Hong, "Put some makeup on to cover it up, and go tell Jiang Yunsheng that you have poisoned me. As for your mother and brother, I will help you take care of them first."

Xiao Hong agreed repeatedly. Yue Niang continued, "I am still the young lady of the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's Mansion has been a military family for generations, but the second branch chose the path of literature. Miss Qin from Marquis Qin's family was also involved in today's incident. Don't try to be cunning and hope that your lover can save you."

Only then did Xiao Hong resign herself to her fate and lowered her head: "I understand."

Aunt Zhang was very straightforward: "You silly girl, if you can't even handle this little thing, don't recognize me as your mother anymore."

She hit Xiaohong just now because Yue Niang was there, and she was so angry that she called her a dead girl.

Xiaohong was taken away by Yujian, and Dongzhu also took Nanny Zhang and her son away to settle them down. Only then did Yue Niang look at Qin Wanwan.

"Excuse me, Sister Wanwan."

Qin Wanwan sat back down at the table. "Isn't there some dirty stuff going on in that mansion? It's easy to avoid an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden one. Your parents-in-law are not in the capital, and your husband is so far away. You must be very careful on your own."

"Do not worry."

Qin Wanwan suddenly remembered: "Yue Niang, how did you know that the maid poisoned her?"

Yue Niang was speechless for a moment. She couldn't say that it was because she could see the qi, right? That sounded like a mental illness.

He quickly laughed: "She looks a little strange."

Qin Wanwan nodded and didn't ask any more questions: "I'm really hungry. I have to eat a fixed amount of food every day at home. It's so annoying."

Yue Niang ladled a bowl of soup for her from the stove and instructed, "Deal with these dishes. Tell the kitchen to make a few new ones, and hurry up."

Qin Wanwan looked at the soup and didn't dare to drink it: "You gave me poisonous soup?"

Yue Niang took a sip first and said, "This is not poisonous."

Qin Wanwan expressed her disbelief: "But why would your second wife give you this kind of medicine?"

Yue Niang said arrogantly, "Maybe he's attracted by my beauty."

Qin Wanwan was even more unconvinced: "It's not that simple. You're the only one left in the mansion. If you die, the higher-ups will definitely investigate. But if you do something shameful, they can legitimately ask for permission to kill you, and there's no risk."

Yue Niang took another sip and said, "I think so too, but my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband are still here. Unless they know they can't come back."

"You still have the mood to drink soup? Hurry up and write a letter to them." Qin Wanwan urged Yue Niang anxiously.

"I've written it before. As soon as my husband left, I knew they would deal with me first, and then prevent them from coming back, so they can reap the benefits."

"I originally thought that all these methods of your Duke's Mansion were openly displayed, but I didn't expect them to be much more complicated than I thought."

"Don't just talk about me, Sister Wanwan, how are you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing?"

"I don't want to mention this matter. I don't want to make myself unhappy."

"I want to listen." Yue Niang blinked and requested again and again.

Qin Wanwan finally spoke up, "During the Lantern Festival a while ago, I, a girl, threw aside my pride and invited him to see the lanterns. Do you know what he said to me?"

Yue Niang was curious: "What happened?"

"He said his eyes hurt when he looked at the lanterns and he got a rash all over his body."

Yue Niang smiled kindly, "Is there such a difficult and complicated disease? Sister, you can ask a doctor to take a look at him."

Qin Wanwan slapped Yue Niang: "You're still laughing? I'm so depressed."

"Sister Wanwan, since you don't like him anyway, why not just stop trying? The prince is like this. I think he probably has a sweetheart. Maybe it's just that his sweetheart is not worthy of his status. It's also very touching."

Qin Wanwan became even more depressed: "But this concerns the country, and I can't make a decision."

"Then you don't have to work hard, just let nature take its course."

"Alas, after all, I am also a servant. I don't want to provoke others, but someone is forcing me to do so."

The two chatted for a while and then the new food was served.

This time, Yue Niang tested each bowl for poison before Qin Wanwan felt at ease to eat it.

After finishing her meal, Qin Wanwan refused to leave: "I'll stay here with you. I know some martial arts after all. If anything happens to you, I can save you."

Yue Niang had no choice but to nod and agree.

Yu Jian came back first: "Master, they are already in the corridor."

Yue Niang hurried to prepare: "Okay, sister, then you can stay in the ear room. Yu Jian, take Xiao Hong to the ear room later."

When Jiang Yunsheng came in, he saw Yue Niang lying on the bed in a daze.

Yue Niang on the bed moved slightly, and Jiang Yunsheng approached cautiously.

Only Yue Niang's shoulders were exposed, with a veil covering her face.

A minute later, Jiang Yunsheng ended the fight.

But when the veil was removed, the person on the bed was not Yue Niang at all.

The woman was looking at Jiang Yunsheng shyly at this moment: "Husband, why did you ask me to meet you in a place like this today?"

It turned out to be Jiang Yunsheng's lover in Yingchun Tower.

But how could he have mistaken her for Fu Yueniang? He sniffed and realized that the smell in the room was wrong.

In the second room, Qin Wanwan whispered to Yue Niang, "Why did he go blind just now?"

"The incense is mixed with aphrodisiac incense."

This side room had a separate door. Yue Niang heard the signal from the Jade Sword outside and pulled Qin Wanwan out, saying, "Sister, the show is about to begin."
