Chapter 7 Getting more and more interesting
  The old lady of Taishi Mansion had just handed over all the power to Yu Qinglian. She only left the mansion to pray for blessings for more than a month, but two lives were lost.
  Grandma Wang was her confidant, and Shen Jingya was the concubine she raised under her knees and pretended to love her to show to outsiders.
  No matter who committed the murder, she would be implicated.
  The more Yu Qinglian thought about it, the worse her face became. She looked at the porcelain bowl on the table and suddenly brushed it away with her hand: "Who is so bold!"
  The bowl fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.
  One of the fragments collapsed at Shen Jingya's feet, scaring her so much that she cried: "Mother, it's really not me. You know, I don't have the guts to kill anyone."
  She knew that if Yu Qinglian's confidants were involved, she would be furious and lose Yu Qinglian's support.
  But she wanted to live, and she had already said her words, and there was no way she could change her words. Besides, the person who bought the poison and poisoned her was a wet nurse, and she would die without proof.
  The only way is to kill and frame Grandma Wang!
  When Grandma Wang heard this, she also trembled. She endured the severe pain and defended: "My hand was broken by the second lady yesterday, and I went back to the yard directly. How could I harm others?"
  "But the doctor said your hand is fine." Han Xiangru found an opportunity and said hurriedly: "Could it be that Grandma Wang saw the Third Miss sending someone to deliver medicine to the Second Miss and took the opportunity to poison her and put the blame on her."
  "But your hands and feet are weak, and you are discovered by the wet nurse and Qiao'er. You can only kill people and silence them, and then say to the outside world that the second lady is crazy and twist your hand and take it out. You can kill two birds with one stone by using a borrowed knife to kill someone!"
  "Second Lady cannot slander this servant at will for Third Miss." Grandma Wang even forgot about the pain and said urgently: "Yesterday, I went to Second Miss's room, and Grandma Ju was also there."
  "She can testify that I was indeed hurt by the second lady!"
  When Grandma Ju saw everyone looking at her, her heart beat wildly and she looked at Shen Zhuoxi unconsciously.
  Shen Zhuoxi was also looking at her, his eyes as calm as water.
  The phrase "Remember the feeling of pain, we will give it back to them bit by bit" suddenly popped into my mind, and in an instant, Grandma Ju knew what to do!
  She calmed her mind and said in a moderate voice, "What did Grandma Wang say? This slave was scarred after being punished as a thief last night. I'm afraid that the second lady will wake up and see her and be stimulated again."
  "Go back to the house immediately and change clothes. How can I see you being taught a lesson by the young lady? Besides, the young lady has a high fever and is in a coma. If you have the strength to hurt someone, why should I go to the eldest lady's courtyard to ask for help?"
  "No, you're lying!" Grandma Wang was so frightened that she didn't know how to defend herself, so she said casually: "I don't have a slave, it's the Second Miss's master-servant teaming up with the Third Miss to harm this slave!"
  Seeing this, Shen Jingya pointed at her and said bitterly: "What reason do I have to kill a wet nurse and a maid to harm you? As a close confidant of my mother, you can just be arrogant and domineering."
  "You dare to poison the second young lady. Although she is not favored, she is the daughter of the late wife. If people find out, how should I arrange my mother?"
  Yu Qinglian's eyes roamed over several people, and her heart gradually sank - from the time when Grandma Ju entered the yard crying and begging for help, to when she was framed and taught a lesson and then driven away, she heard everything clearly while lying in the house.
  This is the truth. Shen Zhuoxi had just been beaten and it was difficult to move. Unless she had to, it was impossible for Aunt Ju to leave and leave her alone in the house.
  It was impossible for Shen Zhuoxi to defeat the two of them, but Grandma Wang, who was tall and strong, had this ability.
  Judging from the doctor’s diagnosis, the liar is Grandma Ju!
  With a cold face, Yu Qinglian suddenly picked up the tea bowl at hand and threw it at Grandma Wang, saying angrily: "I usually tell you to restrain your temper, but you not only don't listen, but now you dare to cross me and make your own ideas to harm others."
  "You failed to poison the second young lady, and you killed two people in a row. You are the maid I brought from my parents' house. How can I get along with the Earl's Mansion? Such behavior is unworthy of a human being. Come here, suppress me and deal with it!"
  "No, madam, this slave is unjustly accused." Grandma Wang knelt and crawled to Yu Qinglian's legs, pleading: "It's really not the slaves, it was their joint conspiracy. Please consider the slaves' years of service."
  "How dare you yell!" Yu Qinglian brushed it away and told Nanny Hua: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Drag him out quickly!"
  After finishing speaking, he thought of something again and added: "Gag her mouth, but don't let her bite randomly. If others listen, she will ruin the reputation of the Earl's Mansion and the Grand Master's Mansion!"
  After Grandma Wang struggled and was dragged away, the room fell into silence again.
  Yu Qinglian was irritated and waved her hand: "Don't mention today's matters anymore. Let the dead be buried alive and go down!"
  Shen Jingya breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to ask if Shen Zhuoxi should be sent away. Han Xiangru, who came to help her, glared at her and shut up in anger.
  After leaving the door, Aunt Ju's hand holding Shen Zhuoxi was trembling, and she rejoiced in a low voice: "Fortunately, the eldest lady didn't protect her, but I was scared to death."
  "The eldest lady needs to save face, and Grandma Wang knows so many dirty things about her." Shen Zhuoxi sneered, "Continue to ask what the implications of the incomplete guarantee are. She is not stupid."
  "Second Miss is still smart." Aunt Ju was in admiration: "I actually thought of using Aunt Wang to deal with Third Miss. It's okay. If they fight, we will be relaxed."
  "But we took advantage of them before they could react." Shen Zhuoxi thought of Shen Xinyu who was silent just now, and frowned: "I'm afraid there will be bigger troubles later."
  Before Aunt Ju could say anything, hurried footsteps came from behind. Aunt Yang was panting and said with concern: "Just now, the eldest lady was looking around and didn't ask the doctor to check on the second lady's injury."
  "It's so scary. We need to ask a doctor to prescribe medicine quickly to prevent it from festering."
  When Aunt Ju saw that Shen Zhuoxi didn't speak to her, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, auntie. I will go to the Grand Master to ask for help."
  "It's too late for the Grand Master to hide from you masters and servants. How can you see me." Aunt Yang held up her bun and sighed: "I happened to make soup and wanted to go see the Grand Master. By the way, I can help you with this."
  "Thank you, auntie." Aunt Ju didn't know what she was doing with her sudden show of kindness, so she saluted, "It's hot outside, and the second lady can't bear her injuries, so she's leaving now."
  "Wait a minute." Aunt Yang took another silver hairpin off her head and said, "I don't have anything valuable. You can exchange this for some silver."
  What happened last night is an example. Grandma Ju was afraid of the hairpin when she saw it, and she didn't dare to take it away.
  Just as she was waving her hands to refuse, Shen Zhuoxi reached over her, grabbed the hairpin and said, "Silver, okay."
  When Aunt Yang saw this, she smiled and walked away from the path.
  Aunt Ju was worried that Shen Jingya would come forward to pester her again, so she didn't dare to delay. She went all the way back to the dilapidated courtyard before she dared to say: "Aunt Yang is like a turtle surviving among the eldest lady and the second lady."
  "Normally, it's a good thing if you don't add insult to injury. What kind of tricks are you trying to do today? Are you trying to frame him?"
  "Except for Shen Jingya, all the smart people in the Taishi Mansion are smart." Shen Zhuoxi played with the hairpin and said, "No matter what she wants to do, the money she brings to her door should not be wasted."
  This Grand Master's Mansion was more than what she saw from Shen Zhuoxi's original memory.
  Shen Zhuoxi's lips curled up: It's getting more and more interesting!
