The people in the rescue team were stunned by this drama, and they wanted to gossip one by one, but they didn't want to ask the parties involved, so they could only let the people they bring to get close to Apple, wanting to get the inside story.

Song Xingchen's identity is indeed more noble among the nobles, whoever makes the family mix well, he can also be rewarded by the emperor.

But if it is the county lord given by the royal family, and seduces Tanhualang who has a fiancée behind his husband's back, this exciting news will definitely shock the noble circle in the capital, and maybe even the royal family will make a move.

As for Hang Hang, everyone will only think he is stupid, Song Xingchen's identity is more noble than Ruan Qinglian, yes, but he is a woman who is married and carries the ball, unless the child is Hang Hang's, otherwise he will lose a lot.

You must know that as long as Ruan Honglian is still the second princess, and the imperial grandson is still the imperial grandson, then Ruan Qinglian's worth is not lower than Song Xingchen, and it can even be said that the benefits of marrying Ruan Qinglian will be far higher than Song Xingchen, after all, people in the capital will not simply look at things on the surface.

"Go back and tell your master, if you are really idle, go and do disaster relief yourself, don't nest in the inn and think about those unclean things, you don't have a face, our county lord still has a face!" The Song family and the Hang family are in-laws, and Lord Hang also said that he would recognize the county lord of our family as a righteous daughter, if it wasn't for the second young grandmother marrying into the Song family, this godfather would have recognized it a long time ago, is it wrong to be the elder brother to take care of the younger sister? Why did the lord of our family get sick, can't you even think of it? "Apple has always been good-tempered, but it is impatient to be questioned by various coincidences every day.

Apple Dao knows the truth, but there are some things that can't be said, and he can only feel sorry for his master in his heart.

In fact, the inn is so big, and the sound insulation effect is not very good, what are others talking about in the lobby, how can Song Xingchen not hear it?

It's just that Song Xingchen didn't come forward to stop it, because she didn't take these noises to heart at all, as long as she could save Song Yang, she could not care about her reputation, the truth would come out sooner or later, Ruan Qinglian's attitude could prove everything, and it was more useful than her 10,000 words.

"Miss Ruan ran back to the capital crying angrily, can it still be a fraud?" A maid sneered and glanced at Song Xingchen's room with disdain, "Even if you are a brother and sister, you have to avoid suspicion, not to mention that this is an in-law who has not recognized her godfather." Looking at Hang Gongzi's diligent energy, who believes it when he says it's okay! ”

"That's it, maybe that kid ......" Someone answered, but before he finished speaking, he was thrown over by an ear scraper from Apple, and the maid covered her face and asked angrily: "You dare to hit me?" ”

"I beat you lightly, pay attention to your rhetoric without evidence, insulting the lord of the court is to send you to the yamen, at least it is a punishment to cut off your tongue, do you think the master behind you will save you? I wish I would draw a line with you, at most bear the responsibility of not being strict under the rule, and crying to make amends to the county lord is over, do you think you can still have a way to live in the future? Apple swept over the few maids around her with a cold expression, and solemnly warned: "The mouth grows on you, I can't control it, but I want to remind you, if anyone dares to insult the innocence of the county lord, don't blame me for not thinking about the feelings I get along with these days, and throw them all into the yamen, the yamen here can't cure your crimes, then go to the capital to seek justice!" ”

"Hmph, what we said is also the truth, your county lord is not afraid of losing his reputation, so let's make trouble." The maid who had a disdainful face before snorted.

Apple glanced at the other party coldly, and before the other party could react, he grabbed the other party's hair, and at some point put an extra dagger against her neck.

"Ahh What are you doing? Let go of me! The maid panicked.

"Apple, don't think that you can be lawless if you are the maid next to the county lord, let go of the red jade, otherwise you will have no good fruit to eat!" Although the other maids were too frightened to come forward, some still had the courage to shout.

Apple is too lazy to pay attention to these people, she wants to kill chickens and show them to the monkey today, lest these people be humiliated by the Song family.

"Don't struggle if you want to survive, or I'm not sure that my hand with a knife won't lose my proportion." Kicking the maid, Apple pushed her head towards the room of the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Rites.

Song Yang was originally also on duty in the Ministry of Rites, and he got along very well with the people in the Ministry of Rites, so it stands to reason that the family members of the Ministry of Rites should not fall into the trap at this time and take the lead in arranging to damage Song Xingchen's reputation.

However, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites once intended to marry his youngest daughter Lin Jiahui to Song Yang, this Lin Jiahui secretly saw Song Yang's appearance, although he felt that the family background was a little mismatched, but he also nodded in agreement, but he didn't want Song Yang to refuse euphemistically, he always had a mustard in his heart, so he naturally couldn't see the Song family having a good time.

Standing outside Lin Jiahui's room, Apple shouted loudly: "Miss Lin, the slave is the maid Apple next to the county lord, I took the liberty to disturb today, I want to ask Miss Lin, what should I do if I humiliate the county lord's reputation?" As the culprit, what should the master be guilty of? ”

Hongyu didn't expect Apple to really have the courage to question, and her face turned pale suddenly, because she knew very well what fate awaited her, just as Apple said, the master would only push her out to prevent the disaster.

The other maids didn't look very good, and it was clear that everyone understood Apple's intentions, and they were glad that they weren't the unlucky ones.

After a cup of tea, Lin Jiahui opened the door, no one knew what she was doing before, but it would be calm as if she was not forced to open the door by a maid at all, and felt humiliated.

Lin Jiahui stood at the door, glanced at Song Xingchen's room, and then spoke: "According to the laws of this dynasty, humiliating nobles should cut their tongues, ordering the staff to be punished for the twenty-year-old to be assigned to the bitter cold land, and humiliating the royal family is to be killed with a cane after cutting the tongue!" As for the subordinate committing crimes, the master can make amends or serve a prison sentence according to the situation. ”

Lin Jiahui was very calm, but she had a little more temperament that only a noble girl in the capital had.

It's a pity that Apple was furious, so she didn't have the heart to appreciate it, but asked: "Hongyu is Miss Lin's personal maidservant, she said that Miss Lin instructed her to say this, Miss Lin has something to explain?" ”

As he spoke, Apple's dagger used a bit of force, so frightened that Ruby didn't dare to make a sound.

Lin Jiahui glanced at Hongyu coldly, and said lightly: "It's where I didn't rule strictly and offended the county lord, so I went to ask for the guilt from now on." As for Hongyu, for the sake of the love of the master and servant for many years, I want to ask for a favor for her, and I also hope that the county lord can keep her whole corpse and not let her die without dignity. ”

Hongyu shed tears in despair, although she knew that Lin Jiahui would not protect her, but she didn't expect that she made a decision without even hesitating, and she didn't even have the slightest reluctance.

Apple sneered, turned around and shouted at the other maids: "You have all seen that you have to follow the right master, and Hongyu may be able to keep the whole body, that is because she is the first offender, and there is a kind master, you may not be so lucky." To be a man, you must remember what your identity is, and don't think you can do everything, otherwise you don't know how to die. ”

"Miss, Hongyu has been with you for more than ten years, and she thinks she is loyal to Miss, although Hongyu has embarrassed Miss, but Hongyu still wants to thank Miss for the grace of the whole corpse, I only hope that Miss can look at the sake of the master and servant, and allow Hongyu to use the wages earned over the years and the rewards she has received to redeem her sister, and Hongyu will remember Miss's kindness when she arrives under Jiuquan!" Hongyu cried and spoke, looking at Lin Jiahui's eyes full of pleading.

"Okay." Lin Jiahui nodded expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Miss, for making it happen!" Hongyu ripped the corners of her lips, her eyes suddenly fierce, and she grabbed the dagger with both hands and wiped it towards her neck, and with the burst of blood, a fresh human life said goodbye to this world.

Lin Jiahui just glanced at Hongyu, and walked in the direction of Song Xingchen's room, without any sentimentality, as if it was not a confidant who had served her for many years, but just a stranger.

No, even if she saw a stranger dying, a normal woman should have a frightened expression and express sympathy, but Lin Jiahui didn't react at all.

The maids in the lobby were all screaming in fright, even Apple's face was pale, she had not killed anyone with her own hands, so she was naturally afraid.

It's just that Apple has always been a calm person, and it doesn't allow itself to panic at the moment.

As a slave, some choices are involuntary, but from the moment she sold herself as a slave, many things have been doomed, Hongyu is not a kind-hearted person with the wrong master, and she has to pay her life in exchange for her sister's freedom, which can be regarded as getting what she wants.

"Someone, drag it out for burial." Apple tore off the money bag around her waist and threw it to the guards who stepped forward, "Although this cheap maid humiliates the county lord with her words, but the person is dead, and all the sins are canceled, so prepare a thin coffin for her." ”

"Yes." The guards took the money bag and had no sympathy for Hongyu, which is all too common in large households.

The other maids were all pale faces, and they would no longer scream, but it was still difficult to accept watching an acquaintance die like this.

Especially looking at Apple's calm look and Lin Jiahui's ruthlessness, they all felt panic and sadness.

"I didn't mean to kill her, but that would have been a better outcome for her. I have warned you, and I hope you will all remember, for I do not want to bury anyone I know in this foreign land. Apple coldly dropped this sentence, turned around and went up to the second floor.

Lin Jiahui went to Song Xingchen to ask for guilt, and Apple wanted to be by the master's side.

Looking at Lin Jiahui who was kneeling at Song Xingchen's door, the disgust in Apple's eyes was undisguised, and he bypassed Lin Jiahui and entered Song Xingchen's room, slamming the door shut.

Song Xingchen in the house knew everything that was happening outside, and the reason why she didn't come forward was because she knew very well that her identity should not be misplaced.

It's just that the ending surprised Song Xingchen, she thought that Lin Jiahui looked at Wen Jing on weekdays, but she was not a cold-blooded person, otherwise she would not have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the rescue.

"Apple, it's that I didn't see through human nature, I thought that Miss Lin would teach that servant a few words and let that girl come to apologize and give up, but I didn't want to pay the price of human life." Song Xingchen smiled self-deprecatingly after speaking, "It's because I'm too affectionate, it's okay to just say a word, but I don't know about my identity, and it makes no sense to say this now." ”

"Miss is the county lord, she should have the majesty of the county lord, don't say that the girl committed suicide, that is, she really came to beg for mercy, and Miss should not spare her, otherwise everyone will dare to bully Miss. Miss doesn't think about herself, she should also think about the little master, think about the entire Song family. There are some things that are more important than life, and Miss must not be merciful. Apple said coldly, and his body was still stained with the blood of red jade.
