C45 Truth

Aster took the bowl and ran back to the little kitchen in the First Lady's yard. In the Lian Residence, the madams and mistresses were provided by the kitchen. Only the madame and the first lady had a private kitchen.

In the kitchen, she placed the medicine bowl on the counter, then picked up the medicine cup and placed it on the stove. She then took off the Chinese medicine bag hanging on the wall, washed it with water, put it in the already boiling water, closed the lid, and began to simmer slowly.

As the aroma of the medicine slowly filled the room, she stood up and walked to the kitchen door. She looked around stealthily, then quickly returned to the stove, removed the lid, took a small bag from her sleeve, and threw a handful of honeysuckle flowers into it.

At this moment, the door burst open, and Aster jumped in fright, scattering all the honeysuckle flowers on the ground. She abruptly turned around and looked in front of her in horror.

Senior Servant Zhou rushed up and grabbed her wrist with one hand, then fiercely slapped her in the face. She said angrily, "Lowly servant, Eldest Miss guessed right. You're really up to no good!"

As soon as he said that, the first wife walked in at the same time as Ru Yue and the first wife. The first wife's expression was extremely ugly.

The moment she saw him, she was so frightened that her legs bent and she kneeled on the ground. "Madam, Eldest Miss, Servant, Servant, I don't know what I did wrong?"

"Hmph ?" Lian Ru Yue looked at her and said harshly, "Capture the asparagus to my mistress's house."

Senior Servant Zhou gave her a look, and they dragged the asparagus out of the ground and dragged it into the room. Senior Servant Zhou kicked her in the foot, causing her to kneel down on her knees.

The First Madam and Lian Ruyue sat in front of her. Lian Ruyue was holding a cup of tea, quietly drinking it with an expressionless face. The doctor was so angry that his entire body was trembling, and he said:

"You lowly slave, how dare you use such despicable methods in front of me, honestly speaking of all the dirty things you've done!"

Aster's face was ashen as she cried, "Please spare me, Madam! Please spare me! I ? I made a mistake with the prescription. I will be more careful next time ?"

"?" Lian Xiyue put down her teacup and glanced at Senior Servant Zhou.

Senior Servant Zhou understood, and pulled up the hair of the Aster, reprimanding her. "You've already gotten your hands on the stolen goods, yet you still dare to quibble about it!" As she said this, she had Cindy and Dai-xiang press their hands on her shoulders, stuffing a piece of rag into her mouth. Then she took a needle and stabbed it into her body.

"Ah ?" Aster was in so much pain that it twisted its face. Its whole body was curled up and large beads of sweat were dripping down.

"In front of the eldest wife and eldest miss, you still dare to use such underhanded methods? Are you going to say it, or not?" Zhou mama took the needle and pricked the body of the asparagus, one by one. The asparagus was pale and close to fainting, and her pleading eyes looked at Lian Yueyue. She understood that Lian Yueyue was the one in this room who had the final say, but Lian Yueyue ignored her, lowered her eyes, and calmly sipped her tea.

"Let's stop for now." The First Lady said when she saw that she was on the verge of death.

Only then did Senior Servant Zhou stop and pull out the rag from her mouth. The purple asparagus lay limp on the ground like a puddle of mud, and its lips were bloodless.

"Say, who ordered you?" Senior Servant Zhou pinched her and asked.

"I, I ?" "I really didn't. Yes, I was wrong ?" She half closed her eyes and said weakly.

When the first wife saw her like this, she somewhat wavered. She looked at Lian Ruyue and said, "Yue Er, even like this, it seems that she really doesn't know."

However, Lian Ruyue said, "Mother, that hoof's skin is real. It's useless to prick it like that. Then let's go, Zhou mama."

"Yes sir!" Senior Servant Zhou turned around and walked to the back. She picked up a small iron cage and came out. There was a series of creaking sounds. There was actually a huge black mouse inside. Just one look at it would make people feel nauseous.

"Break the little bastard's mouth open and put her fingers in it." Lian Ruyue ordered coldly.

"No, no, no ?" Aster was so frightened that it moved backwards, and the sight of the squeaking mouse made the scalps tingle with the thought of its fingers being thrust into its mouth.

Zhou mama took a few steps forward and pulled one of the finger of the Purple Aster towards the cage. There was a cracking sound as the Purple Aster's index finger was forcefully torn off by Zhou mama. It hurt so much that she cried out miserably.

Lian Ru Yue remained unmoved as she continued, "The person who ordered you must have promised you a lot of benefits, but you must be clear, you are just a servant girl, don't be too stupid. If you don't admit who instigated you, then you will be responsible for harming the Madam.

"?" Aster trembled, her eyes twinkling.

"Senior Servant Zhou, it seems like she has decided to be loyal and protect her master. There's no need to be courteous with her, just stick her finger into the mouse's mouth and let it eat you!" Lian Ruyue stood up and was about to leave with a wave of her hand.

"I'll tell, I'll tell, Eldest, Eldest Miss, please spare me, save me ?" She said in a trembling voice, "Yes, it was Aunt Xiao who ordered me to add this flower to the Madame's prescription. She also promised to give me some silver and let me go home, I, my brother and sister-in-law all died, leaving behind only the frail mother. I, I urgently needed the money to treat my mother's illness, so I became muddle-headed ?"

"What ?" When the first wife heard this, she revealed an expression of disbelief. "You said ? you said it was Xian Min. She ? she wanted to harm me?"

"Eldest Madam, on account of my old mother, please forgive this servant's confusion ?" Aster cried and begged.

"There's more, I'm not done yet. Don't be in a hurry to sell yourself into misery!" Lian Ruyue coldly said.

Aster was startled and didn't dare to cry anymore. He stuttered: "Also, this is only the first stage. First we add the honeysuckle, making the first lady's body weaker and weaker. Then, we add ?" Poison. If that's the case, no one will suspect anything if the Grand Matriarch dies when her body becomes weak. "

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a terrible gaze. She trembled and begged, "Please have mercy, my lady. I was just confused ?"

"In order to achieve your goal, you clearly know that it will cause death, but you still chose to do it. You actually wanted to use the word 'muddled' to fool people, and now that all these incidents have occurred and you're using your family's affairs to sell yourself in such a miserable fashion, what else can you say? Senior Servant Zhou beat her up fifty times before sending her away." Lian Ruyue said word by word in an aggressive manner.
