"Who's the bud?" Ruan Tingge asked lightly.

A servant girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old raised her head and replied with a somewhat nervous face, "If you go back to the county master, the slave maid is Ya'er." ”

Aunt Chen hurriedly added at this time, "Ya'er is the niece of the old slave and the son of the family, and she is very conscientious and loyal on weekdays, and it is impossible to do such a vicious thing. ”

Ruan Tingge ignored Aunt Chen's assurances and asked, "Who is in charge of making desserts?" ”

"It's green chrysanthemum, and the county lord's desserts are all made by her." Aunt Chen replied.

Ruan Tingge glanced at Lu Ju, but she had some impressions, this maid named Lu Ju is very good at making all kinds of desserts, and Ruan Tingge had appreciated her before.

Midori looked quiet and reserved, and after saluting, she continued to kneel there without speaking.

Ruan Tingge asked Ya'er again, "Ya'er, did you leave when you were boiling medicine?" ”

"It's... I have left," Ya'er didn't dare to tell a lie, and replied with a stammer, "Because it takes too long to boil the medicine, the slave and maid have left... Go and change your clothes..."

Speaking of this, her face turned flush and she couldn't help but lower her head.

But she thought of something again, and quickly raised her head and said, "If the slave and maid leave, they will find someone to help take care of the medicine stove, in the past, the slave and maid were looking for green chrysanthemum to help, but these days Sister Cailing has come to the kitchen a lot, so she took the initiative to help the slave and maid." ”

Cailing had already pinched his sleeves at this time, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

The maid named Lu Ju also said at this time, "When the slave maid makes desserts for the county lord these days, Cai Ling will always come over to chat with the slave maid. ”

As soon as the two finished speaking, suddenly, the ringtones in front of them sat on the ground as if they had lost their strength.

Her body trembled violently, and large tears flowed all over her face.

Seeing the appearance of the ringtone, everyone still doesn't know what's going on.

King Fenyang furrowed his eyebrows, glared at his eyes and shouted, "You, what have you done is not really recruited!" ”

CRBT's face turned pale, and he sat on the ground, his lips trembling, "Slave... Slave maid..."

Ruan Tingge's expression was complicated, in his previous life, Cailing had been serving him until he entered the palace, and there was no such betrayal and poisoning, but he didn't expect that this life had changed.

Cai Ling was not born to the Ruan family, and her parents did not work as errands in the Fenyang Palace. Her father worked as a deputy shopkeeper in a shop in the palace, while her mother worked in a village on the western outskirts of the palace.

At that time, her parents tried their best to find all kinds of ways to send the ringtones to the Allure Palace, and the ringtones were also competitive, from the rough maid to the second-class maid, so that her parents also had a lot of light on weekdays, and raised their eyebrows for a while.

Bai Lu turned her head to look at the CRBT beside her, her eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, although she was a little suspicious of CRBT before, but she still didn't want to believe that this person who had been with her for several years and seemed to be a sister would do such a thing.

"Say, why do you poison it?" Ruan Qinge looked at the ringtones and was silent for a while before asking.

CRBT was in tears, her lips moved a few times, but she didn't speak.

Seeing this, the king of Fenyang asked a few rough envoys to step forward and grab the ringtone, and said impatiently, "If you don't speak, you naturally have a way to make you speak, drag it out and beat it with ten sticks first." ”

If these ten sticks are beaten down, they will go to the little half life, and the luck in Cailing's heart disappeared completely, so he looked up at Ruan Qingge in a panic, "The prince spares his life, the county lord spares his life, and the slave maid is also forced to do so, the slave and maid will say..."

"Let's get ten sticks first." When the king of Fenyang saw Cailing's appearance of eating soft and afraid of hard, he was very unhappy, and waved his hand to the rough mother-in-law and said.

Ruan Qingge didn't speak, and watched coldly as Cailing was dragged out.

If in her previous life, she might have softened her heart to stop her, but what she hates most now is that others betray her, so how can she be soft-hearted to CRBT.

Cailing was quickly beaten with ten sticks and dragged back by the two mothers-in-law.

At this time, her hair was messy, her clothes behind her back were faintly bloodstained, and she was lying on the ground panting weakly.

"To say or not to say?" King Fenyang shouted.

Cailing gasped and said in a hoarse voice, "Slave... The slave and maid were forced to poison the county lord's medicine. ”

"Who is the one who commands you? Hurry up and recruit this king one by one, don't spit out here, otherwise you will be beaten with ten sticks! King Fenyang frowned tightly, very displeased.

Cailing was so frightened that her whole body trembled, her back and hips hurt terribly, and there was a rusty smell in her mouth, knowing that she had injured her internal organs, and if she was hit ten more times, she probably wouldn't survive.

Although she may not be able to please after telling the whole story, she didn't want to give her life here now, so she hurriedly said, "Instructed the green lotus next to my second lady, she gave me two medicinal herbs, and let me put them into the medicine and desserts that the county lord drank every day." ”

Hearing this, the three people present were stunned, Fang Jirou's face was embarrassed, and she glanced at Ruan Tiange with some worry.

Ruan Tingge lowered his eyes and clenched his hands slightly.

The king of Fenyang's face turned pale, and he slapped the side table hard and shouted, "If you are talking nonsense, this king will directly beat you to death!" ”

Cailing lay on the ground and kowtowed for a while, crying, "The slave is telling the truth, don't dare to talk nonsense, and ask the prince to find out." ”

She knew that if she didn't go into more detail, the angry King of Fenyang might really beat herself to death, so she said a lot in one breath, "The slave's father is the deputy shopkeeper of a powder shop in the palace, and he has a good life, but he was lured to play a game, owes a lot of money, and carries a high amount of interest. ”

"The creditor took the IOU to collect the debt, and the slave and maid's family knew about it. But the interest on the principal is getting higher and higher, and the slave and maid can't make up so much money after selling everything. ”

Seeing that the slave's family was still not up, the creditor's man actually beat the slave's father, and threatened to use a knife next time. The slave's father was so frightened that he could only hide at home, and the slave's mother washed his face with tears every day. ”

"It wasn't until the green lotus next to the second miss came to find the slave that the slave knew that the creditor was originally the second miss's person, and they said that as long as the slave and maid did this, the debt could be written off."

"The slave knows that this is the trap set by the second lady, but the slave has no choice..."

Ruan Qingge suddenly asked, "Why didn't you just ask me to tell the truth?" ”

Cai Ling, who was crying on the ground and shouting grievances, couldn't help but be stunned, raised his eyes to look at Ruan Tingge, who was expressionless, and opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Even if you have all kinds of difficulties, can you use them as an excuse to betray your master?" Ruan Tingge said coldly, "I have learned your loyalty. ”

"County master, the slave is not..."Cai Ling stumbled, but was interrupted by the king of Fenyang.
