In the front yard, in the Smoked Pavilion, the calendula bloomed, and clusters of golden yellow filled the flower beds in the courtyard, as luxurious as the golden Kodan that the hostess of the residence had thickly smeared on her nails, which was the favorite color of Madame Smoke these days.

A master and a servant were in the room, avoiding the other subordinates, Ju Qiu handed a letter to Mrs. Xun: "Madam, I have a letter from the prince."

Mrs. Xun squinted at her eyes, stretched out her plump hands like snow, and the Dankou on her nails could brighten the eyes of the blind minions, and she took the letter lightly: "Does the prince have anything else to explain?"

Ju Qiu's low-pressure head was secretly raised slightly, and then said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, Lord Jing said that the wind is tight during this time, and you must be more vigilant and watch every move of His Royal Highness."

"Hmm." Mrs. Smoke snorted and shook off the letter.

The letter wrote: "Xun'er, among the several women sent by the prince, only Bi Lian is the one installed by the prince, and the rest are just a cover to confuse, but recently I found out that the identity of a girl named Ah Rong who was sent to Zhongli Xun Mansion is different, you take the opportunity to test the reaction of His Royal Highness to the sinful maid."

This early spring has just arrived, and the marigolds planted in half of the courtyard in the Xunhua Pavilion are all open.

The fragrance is too strong, but the master who has never loved this flower does not dislike it at all, and one is January.

Mrs. Xun in a bright red quicksand robe in the water curtain walked out: "Go, pull out all this calendula." ”

A few maids looked at each other in fright.

Ju Qiu asked respectfully, "Madam, ...... today?"

Mrs. Xun raised her nails covered with bright red kodan, stopped Ju Qiu's words, and sneered: "It's useless, it's good to pull it out." When she spoke, there was a hatred in her eyes.

"What's going on with that little slut these days?"

Ju Qiu's eyes flashed, and he replied proudly: "Madame, don't worry, everything is as before." ”

Mrs. Xun's phoenix eyes wept blood, her palms were closed, and she twisted a bright one: "That's good, I want to see how long she can be comfortable?" ”

After half a month, the injuries on Ah Rong's face and hands were almost getting better, and Ah Rong was rescued by Qiushui from Luo Pei. Miao Lan was angry but couldn't fight the wicked, Ah Rong's body was too seriously injured, and after learning a lesson, she realized the importance of being cautious in Ah Niang's previous admonition, so she advised Miao Lan and herself to be careful in the front yard.

People always like to chew the root of their tongue in their spare time, and Mrs. Smoke suffered a loss last time, and she stopped making trouble for a while.

However, Mrs. Dai, who has suddenly been favored in the past few days, competes with her for favor again, and both of them rack their brains on how to please the Second Highness.

Two days ago, Mrs. Dai personally cooked a dish of His Royal Highness's favorite plum blossom cake and sent it, and stayed in His Royal Highness's bedroom at night.

Mrs. Xun stole the limelight from Mrs. Qi Dai, and sang in the garden the next day, and the second highness who passed by was happy to hear it, and rewarded Mrs. Xun with many treasures.

When Miaolan talked to her, Ah Rong only smiled, she just wanted to live a peaceful life.

In the afternoon, the sun is quite large, and the sun hangs hotly overhead, making the mouth dry.

A group of little maids saw that the steward did not come to inspect and had no errands, so they gathered in one place lazily, not knowing what they were watching.

The steward Luo Pei scolded: "What are you little hooves doing here?" If you are so lazy, you will be punished carefully! ”

The little maid replied resignedly: "Sister Luo Pei, it was Miaolan who was punished by the ladies."

Luo Pei peeled off a few people, and saw Ah Rong just squatting down worriedly and preparing to pick up Miaolan, who was lying on the ground with a pale face: "Ah Rong, what are you doing!" Miao Lan was punished by his wife, how can you interfere, do you want to be punished!? Luo Pei reprimanded Ah Rong, since this cheap maid came to the mansion, there have been a lot of troubles, she has always flattered Mrs. Xun, but she doesn't want to be implicated!

"Sister Luo Pei, there must be something strange about Miaolan," Ah Rong appealed to Luo Pei and asked Miaolan urgently, "Miaolan, what's wrong with you?" But what happened? As soon as Ah Rong came back today, he saw Miaolan lying on the ground injured, and he was anxious.

"Are you ......" Luo Pei pointed at Ah Rong and said angrily, she reprimanded the handmaidens who were watching, "Scattered, what do you see?" It's all scattered! ”

As soon as Miaolan heard Ah Rong's comfort, she couldn't help but shed tears, and she complained to Ah Rong with tears in her eyes: "Sister Ah Rong, I was working in the kitchen today, and I happened to meet two ...... ladies."

Ah Rong wiped the tears on her little face with a handkerchief, and she continued: "I sent pastries as instructed by the steward, but the eldest maid in Mrs. Dai's room, Liuli, wanted me to send the share to Mrs. Yin, and Mrs. Ying's maidservant Xue Ying also scolded me, saying that I was careless on duty and didn't take the masters seriously......"

"And then, then...... "Miao Lan was very aggrieved," and then they put me on the ground and punished me, and let the little girl whip my leg...... "Why do you do this to her?" She was a little stupid, but she didn't provoke them......

"Miaolan, let me see your injuries," Ah Rong's heart was shocked, and he rolled up Miaolan's trouser sleeves worriedly, no wonder he couldn't stand.

A pair of white onion like jade legs and arms were beaten to the flesh, and the flesh and blood were blurred, Ah Rong hurriedly got up and turned over the things in his sleeves.

opened the small bottle, there were herbs in it, and she was busy giving medicine to Miaolan: "Miaolan, I'll hurry up and give you some medicine."

"Well......" Miao Lan told her, Ah Rong knew that Dai Er and Ying'er were arrogant and refused to give up after becoming Zhong Lixun's concubines, and Ah Rong was cautious after that time, they couldn't find anything wrong, so they found an opportunity to embarrass Miao Lan.

Miaolan is weak and kind-hearted, and she doesn't want to implicate Ah Rong, so she never told her. Miaolan just swallowed her anger until today...... It's a big deal.

Because of her, Miaolan was implicated, and they found the innocent Miaolan...... Ah Rong felt guilty in his heart.

For the sake of Miaolan, she can no longer blindly endure it.

"Get out of the way! At this time, several guards broke into the door and headed in the direction of Miaolan and Ah Rong, with a fierce look on their faces.

Luo Pei walked over and asked with a smile, "Adults, but what's the matter?"

The first guard said viciously: "On the order of Mrs. Xun, arrest the cheap maid Miaolan."

"Yes, yes," Luo Pei replied urgently, it turned out to be Madame's order, half a month ago she arranged for the injured Ah Rong to grind soybeans, but she was unexpectedly stirred and rescued by the big maid Qiushui who loves to take care of things, she didn't give the cheap maid Ah Rong a little look, and she didn't do what Madame explained. She also wants to ask for credit in front of Mrs. to make up for what she didn't do well last time, and keep Mrs. Xun as a backer, not afraid that she will have a good future in the future!

The attendant instructed the other people who came with him to point to Miaolan: "Come on, catch that."

"Why did you arrest Miaolan for no reason...... Ah Rong shouted loudly.

The attendant pushed her away and said arrogantly: "Cheap slave Miaolan, I poisoned the pastry today and poisoned Mrs. Dai!" On the orders of Mrs. Xun, capture her for questioning! ”

The group of maidservants who had originally dispersed were so frightened that they hid far away, not daring to approach, they didn't dare to offend Mrs. Xun.

Ah Rong shouted: "You are mistaken! It's me who poisoned me! ”

"No...... "Miaolan, who was pale, panicked, how could Sister Arong take all the blame on herself?

"It's you?!" The little guy asked viciously, and Ah Rong's eyes were resolute: "It's me."

"No, it's not! No! Halfway through Miaolan's words, her mouth was covered, and ......she could only make an intermittent nasal sound in her nasal cavity.

"Still quibbling!" Luo Pei on the side was afraid of taking the opportunity to drink fiercely, so he hurriedly ordered a few little maids: "You guys, tie them all up!"

The attendant laughed: "Sister Luo Pei is still sensible, then trouble Sister Luo Pei to follow and testify to these two, Madame will not treat you badly."

Luo Pei sweated profusely, she had always secretly done things for Mrs. Xun: "Yes, yes, Mrs. Xun's will will not dare to disobey."

"Found!" The little guy ran out of Ah Rong's room, his hand raised high, and it was a small medicine bottle.

"It's poison! All the human and physical evidence are there, take them away! The leading little guy viciously sent someone to hold Ah Rong and Miaolan in both hands and dragged them towards the door.
