C49 Refuse to admit to death

Xiao Hong's body trembled, his face was pale white, cold sweat trickled down, and with a 'thump' she knelt down.

Zhao Yuanzhi was shocked, and his expression suddenly changed. Who would have thought that Xianyu Zhi was actually a fire suspect? If this bitch bit herself, it would be troublesome. Zhao Yuanzhi immediately took out a silk handkerchief and pretended to wipe the dust off his face.

Hearing Xianyu Zhi's identification, Xianyu Zheng's face instantly became extremely gloomy. His intention was to kill his lord, this slave should die!

Xianyu Zheng was furious, he stared straight at Xiao Hong, and a cold look flashed past his eyes.

"You set the fire?" Xianyu Zheng's voice was ice-cold, and the expression in her eyes seemed to be able to swallow Xiao Hong up.

"Master, it was all because this servant was muddle-headed that I made such a grave mistake. I forgot to spare my life, Master."

Xiao Hong trembled from head to toe, he was terrified and perturbed, cold sweat beading from his forehead. She knew in her heart that she was unable to escape this calamity. As the mistress, Zhao Yuanzhi kept pressing on, it was impossible for her, a mere servant, to resist her. He was just a chess piece. Right now, this chess piece was most likely going to be abandoned.

"Xiao Hong, I usually treat you well, why did you harm me?"

Xianyu Zhi's pupils contracted, her pretty face sank.

"I have been possessed by a ghost. Eldest Miss, please be magnanimous and let this servant go this time."

Xiao Hong trembled as he kowtowed continuously, begging for mercy, blood seeping out from his forehead.

Xianyu Zheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly, her anger was uncontrollable.

"Speak, who ordered you to harm Eldest Miss?"

Xiao Hong secretly glanced at Zhao Yuanzhi, meeting his vicious warning gaze. She could not help but shiver. No matter what, it would be hard to escape death, and if she were to give up Zhao Yuanzhi, her family's life would be in danger.

"It was all done by me alone. I secretly buried the fire oil, set fire to it, and attempted to kill Eldest Miss. All of these have nothing to do with others."

Zhao Yuanzhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. With the lives of Xiao Hong's family in her hands, even she would not dare to speak carelessly.

"You are only a female. How could you do so many things by yourself? There must be someone directing you from behind the scenes. "As long as you say it out loud, I can spare your life."

Xianyu Zheng's face was ruthless, his eyes revealed a fierce light.

"It was really made by me alone. I bought the fire oil a few days ago from someone outside, and while the young miss was sleeping, I secretly buried it outside the house, waiting for the young miss to light the fire tonight and burn this Song Yun Courtyard."

Since he had already decided to die, Xiao Hong was no longer afraid. Raising his head, he looked straight at Xianyu Zheng.

"What enmity do you have with Eldest Miss that you want to kill her?" Xianyu Zheng had some misgivings, Xianyu Zhi had always been a good servant, but this Xiao Hong had only been sent here for a short time, how could he do such a thing to Xianyu Zhi?

Xiao Hong did not dare to look at Xianyu Zhi, and looked away before lowering his head, "This servant was rather clumsy when doing things, and was scolded by First Miss a few days ago. "At this point, it's too late for this servant to regret. Master, it's better to punish or to kill this servant."

Zhao Yuanzhi saw that Xiao Hong insisted that she was the one to do it, and a boulder was finally lifted from his heart. However, with such a meticulous plan, she was still unable to get rid of Xianyu Zhi. Zhao Yuanzhi muttered to himself as a poison plan surfaced in his mind.

"Master, this servant is truly detestable. Zhi Er had only said a few words to kill her master. However, "Zhao Yuanzhi's tone changed," Zhi Er has always been clever and quick-witted, how could his servants who have such thoughts not see through it? "

"Madam, what do you mean by that?" Xianyu Zheng was confused.

The corner of Zhao Yuanzhi's mouth twitched as he glanced at Xianyu Zhi.

"I just don't think that Zhi Er should be late for a long time, and coincidentally, is admiring the moon in the rear garden too much of a coincidence?"

Xianyu Zhi's brows moved slightly, this woman's reaction was fast, as if a bucket of dirty water was going to splash onto his body. Isn't this blatantly making a ruckus, saying that he already knew about Xiao Hong's arson yet he still ignored it?

"Madam, Xiao Hong is a girl that you have assigned to us. Your daughter has always trusted and respected Madam. How could you expect that the little girl Madam sent would still have thoughts of assassinating your daughter? "

"It's true that I sent her, but I don't know what kind of person she is." When I saw that there weren't enough servants serving in your room, I decided to kindly arrange a few servants to serve you. "How did it turn out that you blame me?"

Zhao Yuanzhi frowned, his face filled with anger.

"How can Zhi Er be disrespectful to Madam? Although this lowly slave had already admitted that she had set fire to others, a woman like her would definitely not be able to do so many things by herself. There must be a mastermind behind this. " Xianyu Zheng stroked his beard, looking deep in thought.

"Old master, it really has nothing to do with anyone else. This servant was the only one who did it." Xiao Hong still did not dare to say that it was Zhao Yuanzhi's command.

Xianyu Zheng's face changed, he was furious, "You lowly bitch, your mouth is hard enough, then let's see whether my Prime Minister's Mansion's punishment instruments are strong or your bones are!"

"Xiao Hong, let me ask you one last time. Who was it that ordered you to harm me?" Xianyu Zhi walked closer, his eyes like a torch, staring at Xiao Hong. She knew what was going on behind the scenes, but she couldn't expose Zhao Yuanzhi's crime without any evidence.

Xiao Hong suddenly stood up, and rushed to the pillar at the side. The wife by the side reacted quickly and grabbed Xiao Hong, stopping her from continuing.

Ah!

Xiao Hong screamed out, and subconsciously held onto his arm.

The wife grabbed Xiao Hong's arm and pulled up her sleeves, revealing a series of eye-catching wounds to everyone.

"Zhi Er, you actually beat this servant to such a state. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. " Zhao Yuanzhi was shocked, and calmly made the first move.

Xianyu Zhi laughed coldly, this girl was truly malicious, she had clearly been the one to viciously beat Xiao Hong up, but now, the villain was suing her first, turning the tables on her.

"Madam, your daughter will not be so cruel to her servant." Xianyu Zhi retorted back calmly.

"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Everyone heard that this servant made the first mistake. If you punish her, these injuries will naturally be caused by you. " Zhao Yuanzhi's expression turned cold, and a cold smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

Xianyu Zhi knew that it was useless arguing with Zhao Yuanzhi. She raised her head and looked at Ming Xiang who was in the crowd, her eyes filled with a cold intent.

Ming Xiang's body trembled, he felt a strong pressure on him, making him unable to breathe.

Master, Xiao Hong was not injured by the big miss. Ming Xiang took a step forward and reported to Xianyu Zheng.

Xianyu Zheng's face congealed, and his eyes flashed with a cold light. Who did it? "
