Shen Ningning asked the secret guard to give the jailer five taels of silver.

 “Go out and keep watch. I have a few words to ask her.”

The jailer took the money and left with a lot of gratitude.

 Two secret guards, one guarding the door of the cell and the other guarding the corner of the dungeon.

Shen Ningning took a step forward: "Does it taste good?"

   Mrs. Xie was in a daze for a moment when she heard such a soft question.

 She slowly raised her head, her cloudy eyes looking over from behind the strands of hair.

“Ah—!” When Mrs. Xie saw it was Shen Ningning, she immediately backed away in fright. The bowl of rice soup she had just knocked over and spilled on the floor.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I've never done anything bad again. Princess, please forgive me, princess!" Mrs. Xie Er was so frightened that she cried.

She didn't dare to provoke Shen Ningning a long time ago. If Xie Yuanjiu hadn't insisted on going her own way, why would she have ended up in prison?

Looking at Mrs. Xie's miserable crying state, the little guy felt helpless.

 She just wanted to ask a few questions.

“I don’t want to harm you, I just want to ask a few questions and you should answer them truthfully.”

While Shen Ningning was talking, a mouse came out of the corner, chirping, smelled the rice soup, and ran over to lick it.

 The little guy frowned and took half a step back.

Although Second Madam Xie was a little dazed, when she heard Shen Ningning wanted to ask questions, she nodded quickly: "I'll tell you everything I know!"

Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "Xie Yuanjiu comes to see you every now and then. Apart from giving you food, what else did he say to you?"

Mrs. Xie Er recalled that suddenly, she laughed stupidly, and the laughter seemed to be a bit sarcastic.

“She blamed me for not giving birth to her, haha—the daughter I have loved for eight or nine years actually thinks I am a burden.”

 At the end of the sentence, she retched and vomited brownish green water all over the floor.

Shen Ningning felt a little uncomfortable and looked away silently.

At this moment, she saw that the mouse that had just stolen the rice soup fell to the ground, its limbs twitching continuously!

The little guy’s eyes widened: “Rice soup is poisonous!”

Mrs. Xie Er stopped retching and raised her panicked eyes.

The mouse shook its limbs desperately, and after a while, its tail became stiff. Mrs. Xie Er was frightened. After a while, the mouse seemed to have recovered and stumbled away.

 Even lost balance and accuracy, taking two steps and falling two steps.

This made Shen Ningning even more convinced that the rice soup was poisonous, but it did not kill the mice instantly. It must be a chronic poison.

 She looked at Mrs. Xie Er with complicated eyes.

Mrs. Xie Er has already reacted. She hurriedly picked at her throat and cursed wildly -

"Bitch! Thank you for this bitch! How cruel, I am her mother - ugh..."

 She spit out a pile of burnt green stuff.

 There is an unpleasant smell in the air.

Shen Ningning covered her mouth and nose: "I think I can guess why she suddenly became so kind and came to give you food."

"General Fang has returned to Beijing, don't you know? As soon as you die, she can spread rumors that your death was caused by my second uncle. Then everyone in the capital who knows about their old relationship will guess that my second uncle will kill you. , in order to rekindle the old relationship with General Fang."

Mrs. Xie Er wiped the foam from the corners of her lips and suddenly realized: "What? Fang Qingdai...has returned to Beijing."

She burst into tears: "Then I have no hope of returning to Xie's house. With her here, the second master will never even look at me. It's over, it's all over!"

Shen Ningning had a headache from crying.

 The little guy said angrily: "Stop crying! If you cry again, you will die."

Mrs. Xie Er was afraid of her. When she was fierce, her crying suddenly stopped and she shrank. She kept looking at Shen Ningning with uneasy eyes.

 I saw the little guy taking out several foods one after another from his sleeves.

 A bag of red bean buns, dry food cakes, and a water bladder filled with water.

 She threw it to Mrs. Xie across the cage.

  "Hide all these foods. Don't worry, they are not poisonous."

Mrs. Xie Er was panic-stricken: "Princess...Princess, why are you helping me? I hurt you before, and you don't hold grudges?"

Shen Ningning has a round and pale face and is very serious.

"Of course I hold a grudge, but you can't die now, otherwise, my second uncle's reputation will be ruined."

 To put it bluntly, the little guy just can’t let Xie Yuanjiu succeed!

Of course Mrs. Xie didn’t want to die, so she hesitated for a moment, crawled over and collected and hid all the things Shen Ningning gave her.

Before leaving, Shen Ningning confessed: "Next time she gives you food, you can't show anything strange. Accept it as usual, but don't eat it. Leave some evidence."

 …

 Recently, Shen Ningning sent people to keep an eye on Xie Yuanjiu. However, on this day, the little guy unexpectedly had a conflict between Xie Yuanjiu and Liang Yici.

By the lotus pond in the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, Liang Yici confronted Xie Yuanjiu sternly.

"The leper's family all admitted that you gave them money and asked the old woman to harm me. Why did you do this? What grudge do I have against you?"

 She pushed Xie Yuanjiu hard, and Xie Yuanjiu staggered, with a pale face stained with tears.

Xie Yuanjiu said nothing, only cried and shook her head: "I didn't, didn't..."

There were many students gathered nearby, and everyone didn’t know whether to stop him or not.

 Only discussed in private——

“I heard that Princess Rong Shu was invited to the Yamen not long ago. Is it because of this?”

 “Has Princess Rong Shu misunderstood? What reason does Xie Yuanjiu have to harm her?”

"Tsk, what do you know? Princess Rongshu is the daughter of General Fang, and Xie Yuanjiu is the daughter of the Second Madam Xie. What do you think the relationship between their two mothers is? Love rivals! Of course, these two daughters can't be dealt with."

 Shen Ningning, Ye Changyi, Lu Shaoyuan and Xu Jingxi stood among the students and watched the excitement.

The little guy glanced at Xu Jingxi calmly, but saw that his face was calm, but the hand hanging by his side had already been clenched into a fist.

Over there, Liang Yici was extremely angry, but Xie Yuanjiu couldn't punch a fart.

No matter what I say, I will only cry!

Liang Yici became anxious and pushed hard: "Explain clearly, otherwise, don't think about being kind today!"

Xie Zhanjiu couldn't stand still, screamed, and fell backwards into the cold water.

Liang Yici was the first to react and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her. However, Xie Yuanjiu showed her a faint and weird smile, and Liang Yici's hand froze in mid-air.

                                        

 The students screamed in surprise.

"Master! Master, come quickly! Princess Rongshu has pushed Miss Xie Si into the water!"

   Han Fuzi came over after hearing the news and was shocked. He hurriedly asked someone to pick up the wet Xie Yuanjiu.

The weather in early winter was so cold. Xie Yuanjiu was soaked all over and shivering.

Master Han hurriedly told the boy: "Hurry, help her and go to the Nuan Pavilion to change clothes."

Liang Yici came to her senses and rushed forward: "Master, she did it on purpose. She wanted to frame me! Xie Xijiu, please don't leave. Please make it clear!"

  Han Fuzi pushed her hand back: "That's enough!"

 Everyone saw that Master Han was angry, and they all remained silent.

Han Fuzi looked at Liang Yici with disappointment: "Princess, what the school needs is harmony, how can you be so domineering and arrogant! No matter what the reason is, you should not push people into the water."

"You! What a master, you are so indiscriminate. I told you she was the one who slandered me. I didn't even want to push her into the water." Liang Yici was very angry.

 She looked at the students around her: "Which one of you is willing to testify for me?"

However, what everyone saw was Xie Yuanjiu crying, while Liang Yici pushed her away in an arrogant manner.

Who can testify for her? Everyone was quiet, you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.

Liang Yici felt extremely aggrieved.

Her eyes were red, and she tried not to cry in front of outsiders.

"I hate the capital. All of you are sanctimonious hypocrites!" As she said this, she turned around and left quickly.

With a livid face, Master Han asked everyone to disperse, and he went to chase Princess Rongshu himself. Otherwise, if he let the child run away from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, something would happen.

 Everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.

Lu Shaoyuan walked beside Shen Ningning and sighed: "This Princess Rongshu grew up on the border and is used to seeing careless military camps. She never thought that people's hearts can be so unpredictable and dark, right?"

Ye Changyi snorted: "Xie Yuanjiu's trick is always like this, forcing others to be angry, and then pretending to be innocent in the end."

Xu Jingxi looked at Shen Ningning: "Why didn't you stand up and help her just now?"

The little guy licked the candy man in his hand, with dark watery eyes.

 “Why should I help her? She doesn’t appreciate it and thinks I’m nosy.”

“Let me tell you another secret secretly. My secret guard told me that Xie Yuanjiu will send someone to set fire to Lezi’s house tonight.”

“Because, she was sure that Liang Yici would go to Lezi again today and ask him to come forward and accuse Xie Yuanjiu of what he had done.”

“Isn’t it a coincidence that when the fire started, Liang Yici would not be able to argue, oh my, I can’t control it, no one cares anyway.”

With that said, Shen Ningning, Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan walked away with smiles.

The little guy looked back calmly and saw Xu Jingxi stunned in place, his handsome face slightly lowered, as if covered with a layer of frost and snow.

Shen Ningning smiled with pink lips and looked away.
