C44 Teach a servant a lesson

"Pah!" Lian Ruyue suddenly raised her hand and ruthlessly smacked Zi Ling's face.

Instantly, the first wife and Senior Servant Zhou were stunned. They looked at her in surprise, as if the moon had always been kind to her servants. When had she ever been so strict?

"How dare you! This candied fruit is a warm food, how can it compete with medicine!" If you don't pretend to understand anything, you should either be slacking off or you shouldn't have any ulterior motives! "

Aster was shocked, she did not expect this usually soft young lady to suddenly become so fierce. She covered her face and said aggrievedly:

"Yes, yes! Eldest Miss, please calm your anger. This servant will go right away."

"Pah!" However, Lian Ruyue slapped her on the other cheek with a backhand slap. "What? This young miss told you to go get a plate of food. Do you still have any objections? Who are you going to show your shamelessness to?" "What are you?"

Aster was so scared that she dropped to her knees. She did not dare to cover her face as she quickly said, "I dare not, I dare not, young miss."

"Hurry up and go!" Lian Ruyue said harshly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Aster didn't dare to hesitate. He crawled up from the ground and ran towards the Purple Cloud Palace. His face was flushed red from the beating.

"It's just a candied fruit, I won't eat it. You don't need to be angry over it, it's so infuriating." Madam Rong comforted her.

"Madam, I think the eldest miss is doing well. I don't feel too uncomfortable with this girl. She is just a second-rate maid, and she is acting like this. It's time to find a chance to punish her." Zhou mama, on the other hand, felt delighted. Her wife was weak and weak, and seeing the lazy and contemptuous expressions from the surrounding maidservants, she wanted to punish them, but she couldn't.

"It wasn't just because she didn't know how to behave that I started to teach her a lesson." Lian Ruyue said.

"What does' Yue Er 'mean?" The Rong family was confused and asked.

At this time, the Aster came back, panting. It was holding a plate of candied fruits with both hands. It didn't dare to hesitate. It kneeled on the ground and respectfully said:

"Madam, eldest miss, I've brought the candied fruit." As he spoke, he stole a glance at the bowl of medicine.

"Put it down. Hurry up and inform the kitchen. I want to have a meal over at the Madam's place. If I'm late, I'll have to ask you!" Lian Ruyue immediately ordered.

"Yes sir!" After the two slaps, how could Zi Xing dare to neglect Lian Ri Yue for even a second. She hurriedly turned around and left, but before she left, she couldn't help but look at the medicine.

After she left, Lian Ruyue said in a low voice, "Mother, there's something wrong with this medicine. You can't drink it."

"Is there a problem?" Madam Rong sucked in a breath of cold air, her hand unconsciously clenching the handkerchief. "This was prescribed for me by Doctor Lu, he's known me since he was young, so he shouldn't harm me. Yue Er, did you get something wrong? "

Lian Ruyue thought for a while, then asked, "Senior Servant Zhou, when did this purple asparagus come to Fuan Courtyard?"

Senior Servant Zhou pinched her fingers and calculated. "I remember now, the First Wife came a few days after she was sick this time. Before that, it was Qing Lian who served her, but that day, the Blue Lotus somehow broke the Madam's sandalwood scent. When Aunt Xiao found out that the Blue Lotus wasn't agile, she changed her hands and feet and took care of her, so she didn't pay too much attention to it."

When Lian Ruyue heard this, she felt reassured. She said, "I was only suspicious at first. Mother's inheritance wasn't a serious illness, but it was delayed for over a month and her spirit was getting weaker and slimmer. "Just now, I realized that this lowly servant, Zi Xing, had been staring at this bowl of medicine, as if she was afraid that Mother wouldn't drink it. Now that Senior Servant Zhou said it, I'm sure there's something wrong with this medicine."

As she spoke, she brought the medicine over and took a sip.

Madam Rong was shocked, "There's something wrong with this pill, why are you still drinking it?"

Senior Servant Zhou was also getting anxious. "Eldest Miss, what are you doing?"

Then, she walked over to the desk, picked up a pen, and carefully wrote something on a piece of paper. After a while, she handed the paper containing the prescription to Senior Servant Zhou and asked, "Senior Servant Zhou, look, is this Doctor Lu's prescription for Mother?"

Senior Servant Zhou took the medicine list and carefully skimmed through it. Her eyebrows gradually furrowed, and she shook her head. "That's not right. The prescription given by Doctor Lu doesn't contain this type of gold-and-silver flower."

"That's right, the problem lies in the Honeysuckle."

"What's wrong with the honeysuckle?" Madam Rong asked, puzzled.

Lian Ru Yue showed the prescription to Senior Servant Zhou and Madam Rong, saying, "Just looking at this Silver Gold Flower is not a problem, but, you see, Doctor Lu's prescription contains an epimedium. The two medicinal herbs, this Silver Gold Flower and Epimedium, are innately antagonistic to each other, and as time goes on, not only will the illness not be cured, but the root of the body as well. This is also the reason that Mother's cold weather has delayed turning better."

Senior Servant Zhou said, "I understand!" Madam, someone was secretly manipulating the situation to secretly let the honeysuckle in, to the detriment of you! This Aster is one of the killers! "

"Aster is only a servant. Someone must have ordered her to do something so audacious." Lian Ruyue said.

Hearing this, Madam Rong broke out in a cold sweat, her face growing even paler. "There's actually someone in this mansion who wants to harm me so much."

"Madam, you will know who is the mastermind if you capture that purple asparagus and interrogate it!" Zhou mama said angrily.

However, Lian Ru Yue stopped them, "No, don't be anxious. If we capture her and interrogate her, she definitely won't admit it. We don't have any evidence, so we might as well alert the enemy. It would be better to pretend that she doesn't know anything first, and wait until she obtains the spoils of war. It would be impossible for her to deny it even if she wanted to! "

"So how do we get the loot and the loot? Does Eldest Miss have a way? " Senior Servant Zhou was pleasantly surprised to find that this young miss was really different from before. In the past, she was always a bit dazed, but now, she was being led by the nose.

Lian Ruyue thought for a while, then stood up and poured the bowl of medicine on the ground. She shouted to the servants outside, "Go call the asparagus over."

"Yes." The servant outside replied. After a while, the purple asparagus came running in again. After running back and forth three times, she was out of breath. Beads of sweat dripped down her face. She didn't even bother to wipe them down as she asked:

"Madam, First Miss."

"What? You got tired after running just two or three times?" Lian Ruyue looked at her sideways, coldly asking.

"No, I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Aster quickly said.

"The first lady's medicine was accidentally spilled just now. You should go cook another bowl." Lian Ruyue nodded and said.

Zidao looked at the ground and saw the bowl fall to the ground. The servant girl was cleaning up the debris on the ground. She quickly bent down to pick up the bowl and said, "Yes, your servant will go right away."
