Chapter 157
At night, after the masters have rested, except for the servants on duty, the other maids can rest.

Cui Er took the bottle given by Li Shishi and sat in the small garden with tears in her eyes to apply medicine to herself.

After hearing Wuwu's cries, Tweety found Xiaotao.

"Are you Xiaotao?" Cui'er walked behind Xiaotao and asked pretending to be surprised.

Xiao Tao was crying with her back turned to her, and when she saw someone talking, she quickly wiped away her tears and looked back.

"Tweety?" Xiaotao was a little surprised, and then said with a vigilant look, "Why are you here?"

Tweety wiped away her tears, pursed her lips.

Pointing to the marks on his neck, he said, "Today I accidentally knocked over the porridge and made the master unhappy, so she hit me."

After saying this, she couldn't help feeling sad and crying hysterically.

When Xiaotao saw it, she was the same, and couldn't help being a little moved.

But she still asked vigilantly: "The master you serve has always been good-tempered, but she..."

"It's all pretending in front of the lord." Cui Er cried and told Xiao Tao what Li Shishi told her.

"The master I served, relying on the fact that the prince likes her to be gentle and gentle on the surface, but in private he didn't take advantage of me. Although I broke the porridge today, in fact, it was the master who knew that the prince was with your family. The master went out, and she was angry, so she bumped into me accidentally. It's just that I am a servant, and she is the master, and I have no right to defend myself... But wasn't she just a country peasant woman before? Why? ..."

Tweety couldn't go on anymore when she said this, she choked up, and sat in front of Xiaotao, lowering her head and wiping her tears.

Xiaotao's eyes were also red, she lowered her head and wiped her tears and said, "We are all in the same situation, and we have met such a master."

Then she raised her arm, which was covered with welts and swollen.

Tweety was surprised for a while, she looked at Xiaotao's arm, and couldn't hide her distress: "She is so cruel to you?"

"Yeah." Xiaotao nodded, and then smiled helplessly: "I'm used to it, she hits me every time, as long as someone makes her unhappy, she will hit me."

After Xiaotao said this, she was hugged tightly by Cui'er, and the two girls burst into tears.

Tweety also learned from Xiaotao the reason for being beaten today.

It turned out that Wen Zhi was jealous that Gongsun Qing paid special attention to Xiao Tao.

And during this process, Xiao Tao seemed to mention the arson matter, but she stopped in a hurry after only half a sentence.

Cui'er knew that she shouldn't be asking, otherwise she would reveal her secrets, so she handed the medicine to Xiaotao and told her to go find herself after it was used up, and left in a hurry.

After going to Li Shishi's house, she told Li Shishi what she knew.

I was right as I guessed.

But to her surprise, Xiaotao actually brought up the fire.

It's just that she still remained calm, helped Tweety to sit at the table, and took out a small bag of silver for her.

Tweety was taken aback and quickly refused, but Li Shishi said it was her performance fee...

"What is performance fee?" Tweety was a little confused.

Li Shishi smiled and said: "It's the reward you get for acting for me. You keep the money. I don't reward you. You deserve it."

Tweety was still dazed when she came out of the yard with the money.

But this money is earned by myself, and I feel at ease when I hold it.

she thought.

Xiaotao has suffered a lot in the past few days, Wen Zhi finds her particularly unpleasant now, and always scolds her for nothing.

Xiaotao, who had been beaten, secretly hid in the garden and cried while applying medicine.

Tweety also pretended to pass by a few times, and sat there listening to Xiaotao complain about her master.

But inside and outside the words, she still reveals that she wants to fly up the branches and become a phoenix.

Cui'er didn't say anything, but just told her that the one in the side courtyard could win the prince's favor, and so could she.

So, slowly, the relationship between Xiaotao and her became better and better.

In order to deceive others, Li Shishi and Gongsun Qing tactfully proposed that Cui Er should take care of Wanran and Wanmiao.

Gongsun Qing readily agreed.

It's just that this is in his other hospital after all, and he knew many things early on.

Looking at Li Shishi, who was so thoughtful that her heart was about to grow out of her chest, Gongsun Qing smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know anything."

"I know you know." Li Shishi said with a smile: "Then since I've decided to be with you well, it's not too much for me to be casual about some things."

Gongsun Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Shishi, then he raised the corner of his mouth and moved closer to her: "Why, now you admit that she is my wife?"

"No!" Li Shishi retorted with a blushing face, but Gongsun Qing held her face in the next second.

Then, the four eyes met.

In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Qing possessed himself and kissed her lips.

"Don't worry." He said, "I can't let anyone else go except you."

"En." Li Shishi closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

Li Shishi was relieved of Gongsun Qing, after all, she would not agree to be with him if she was worried.

Gongsun Qing also cooperated, like an inexplicable tacit understanding.

With Li Shishi's understanding, he seemed to have more fighting spirit.

"However, I heard from Tweety that Xiaotao once mentioned the fire in the hospital, as if there was something hidden in it."

Nesting in Gongsun Qing's arms, Li Shishi frowned and thought.

"Well, I also feel something is wrong." Then he looked at Li Shishi and asked: "Why don't I take you to see the person who set the fire tomorrow? You can interrogate yourself."

"Yeah, okay, I want to see it too." Li Shishi nodded and said.

The next day, Gongsun Qing took Li Shishi to the place where the arsonist was detained after briefly handling his official duties.

Although the man was arrested, Gongsun Qing didn't torture him, but locked him in the prison for a day and gave him pickles every day, but only gave him a glass of water.

Live without dying.

Gongsun Qing brought Li Shishi into the house, and the guards brought him over.

Seeing the dying man lying on the ground panting, Li Shishi couldn't help frowning.

"Is this person going to die soon?"

"No." Gongsun Qing said: "He is just short of water, the guards will only give him a bowl of water every day, and he can only eat pickles for his usual meals, so he is like this."

"Water! Give me water!" The man struggled on the ground.

Li Shishi looked at him, although this man was dirty, but Li Shishi knew that she had never seen him before.

So she asked: "Are you from Tianzhilou?"

The man froze for a moment when he heard this, then nodded silently.

"He's not." Li Shishi whispered in Gongsun Qing's ear.

"How do you know that?" Gongsun Qing asked back.

"Look." Li Shishi smiled at him.

Then he looked at Jinwei and said, "Bring him some water and bring him a chair."

Konoe froze for a moment, looked at each other and did not dare to move.

"Go, do what she says. From now on, her orders will be the same as mine, so you just do it."

"Yes." Jin Wei cupped his hands, and then went to get water and chairs.

He supported the man on the chair, and the man lay there panting.

Li Shishi looked at him and said, "I'll give you water, but before that, you have to promise me that you must tell the truth, otherwise you will be dragged out to feed the dogs."

The man hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly raised his eyes to glance at the nearby water, he licked his lips and hummed angrily.

Only then did Li Shishi order: "Feed him water."
