Three identical wounds ran from his eyes all the way to his ears. Although they were already drugged and no longer had the original blood-red color, upon closer inspection, it still looked terrifying.

"I'm not worried!" Perhaps it was my sudden voice that frightened Grandmother. She looked up blankly, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes. There was even a hint of panic in her words.

"What medicine is this?" Did you get a doctor to bring you in? " Seeing my grandmother's face covered with the medicine, and then thinking back to the undetermined cause of Lady Chen's hysteria, I couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, worrying that my grandmother had also been secretly harmed.

"This is my trauma medicine from my courtyard." Grandmother secretly sighed and touched her face that had already been drugged.

I originally wanted to say that it would be more appropriate to use it for Lan Xin's identification, but seeing how depressed Grandmother looked, I couldn't help but retract my words.

"Is Aunt better?" Previously obscured by the tent, she had been unable to see clearly. Now that she was standing in front of the bed, she could clearly see Aunt Chen lying on it.

The person on the bed was obviously plump, but his face was devoid of any color. He had a pair of long and thin eyebrows, as if he was having trouble even in his dreams. The red fingernails that had been growing on her hands had disappeared without a trace. Now, they were tightly protecting her stomach, as if they were afraid that someone would harm her child.

When I first saw the pregnant Madam Chen's frightened and worried look all day, I knew that her pregnancy was rarely stable.

"Did you catch the man?" As if she didn't want to disturb the person resting on the bed, her grandmother's voice was especially soft as she carefully tucked the blanket under her.

I smiled. "So you've already heard about it!" I didn't expect that Grandmother's side would be in such a mess. She could actually listen to everything I said and find out about how I caught Mama Li.

"Now that I'm locked in the room, how should I deal with you?" Seeing my grandmother stand up with a beaded lamp on the bedside table, I hurriedly followed her and carefully covered the sleeping Aunt Chen with a blanket.

The two of us landed on a kang nearby. Grandmother placed the lamp on the kang's table, her eyes shining as she said, "You can handle this!"

What kind of words were those!

What do you mean I do it myself?

If I were to find a mother from the mouth of that old woman Li, there would be seven rules. But as a daughter, how can I talk and act according to the law?

"After all, our grandson and daughter are still young and do not know how to pass through the mountain pass. "Why don't I go and interrogate that woman, and when I get the results, I'll tell you, and you can decide for yourself?" It was only natural for my grandmother to punish my mother, but it was also natural for me to be disrespectful towards my mother.

"You can do it, but you have to do it quietly." With another sigh, my grandmother poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of me.

Secretly? That was the meaning of not letting the servants know! No wonder Grandmother let me do things.

"Yes." Originally, I didn't want my hands to be stained with blood, but now, it seems impossible.

In the first few months after I woke up, I wanted so much to kill my mother and avenge the child in my womb. But now … It had been less than a year, and the hatred in my hand had faded.

Maybe I'm really a very selfish person. I can even throw away my own flesh and blood.

"You can go now. This kind of thing is most likely to cause trouble!" Grandmother slowly turned the buddhist beads in her hand, half closed her eyes, just like the clay painting of the hot surface cold heart Bodhisattva in the temple.

Perhaps in this world, I am the harmless one. If a person harms me, I might as well strike first to gain the upper hand!

"Yes sir!" I solemnly bent my knees towards my grandmother and walked out of the room with a cold smile on my face.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Occasionally, there would be a few leisurely cries. Such a beautiful and peaceful night was destined to be unusual. After I finish interrogating Mother Li who was tied up in the room and unable to speak, who knows how much trouble it will cause …

"Miss, are you going now?" The two maidservants by my side obviously did not expect that I would still ask her a question so late at night, so they could not help but ask.

"If I don't ask now, I'm afraid tomorrow she will become the one who won't speak!" I smiled and sighed. "It's best if I ask earlier before I can go to bed and sleep peacefully."

The two maidservants looked at each other without saying anything.

It was obvious that Mama Li had not been invited into the room in a polite manner. His hair was a mess, and he had a silver hairpin stuck in his side. His right cheek was red, and one could vaguely see a handprint on it. The upper part of her clothes were ripped into a mess, and the originally white skirt had a lot of mud and shoe marks on it, making her look even more miserable than before.

"Go and take that thing out of her mouth!" I wiped a dusty box by the door with a handkerchief and sat down.

The cloth was taken out from her mouth. Mama Li spat out a few times before stopping. She opened her mouth and said, "I want to drink some tea!"

This was truly strange! The first thing the servant who did wrong was not to refute or curse, but to calmly say that he wanted to drink water.

"Bah!" Lan Li was still very agitated. It must have been her words that made the servant girl especially tense. She pointed at her and yelled, "You deserve tea and water!"

Mama Li lowered her head and did not speak. She had a fearless expression on her face.

"Go get her a cup of tea!" I turned my head to instruct the calm Green Bastard, "Use the kind of six amulet melon slices I brought with me."

"I like to drink Da Hong Pao!" Mama Li said with a smile. She didn't weaken just because she was tied up.

I smiled faintly and explained in a calm and friendly tone, "I can only mistreat my mother. I don't like to drink Da Hong Pao the most. There isn't the slightest bit of tea leaves that have a strong taste."

"Then it's alright!" Mama Li chuckled dryly. She looked at the tea offered by Lu Kou and said, "Miss, why don't you explain this to me so that I won't have to trouble you to do this."

I smiled and shook my head. "You are doing things for people, and I am also doing things for people. I hope that mother will forgive me a little bit because I absolutely cannot let go of this binding. If mother decided to do something at the last moment, it would be difficult for our young mistress and our weak servants to resist."

Hearing my words, Mama Li didn't force me. She nodded at me and drank the tea from Lu Que's hand, smiling as she asked, "Miss, what do you have to say?"

I nodded, secretly amazed at how talented she was. "Who is mother working for?"

"You can't even if I tell you. Why do you need to ask?" Mama Li smiled and sighed, as if she was sighing at my helplessness.

"If mother didn't tell me, how would I know?" I don't know why, but I can't get mad at Mama Li, I can only bear with her and play a charade.

"The young mistress already knows this in her heart. Why do you need to ask me again?" Mother Li had a faint smile on her face that was very similar to that repulsive mother Feng.

In my mind, I suddenly thought of that old woman scolding me for being too close to her … This was what it meant to be a model, to be like one!

"Can Mommy tell you how it happened?"

"What's wrong with that!" Mama Li flashed a bright smile, as if she was talking about the Dong Family's short term gossip:

"In the past, I sold that" Reincarnation Pill "to Aunt Chen for the sake of my mother's remaining son. Now that this highly skilled Doctor Huang has treated Aunt Chen, not only would he not be able to keep her alive, he might even expose my past actions. I thought I might as well scare her to death while she was in a daze, so when Madame came by during the day, I followed her to the courtyard and hid under Aunt's bed. When there was no one there at night, I fed her three pills, and then came out.

"So you're saying that what was ordered by someone else is now your own?" I wondered how a servant like her could have so much guts.

"I heard that the Lady has become extremely intelligent since she fell last winter, and it turns out that she is only an ear!"

He had fallen far too far, but he was still able to become the smartest man in the world! It was clear how foolish I had been to try to hide my change from my mother.

"Mom is too kind." I smiled at Mama Li and said, "Please be generous with your instruction!"

Mama Li smiled and shook her head. "As expected, Miss' most outstanding point is not her intelligence but her mental fortitude!" Before I could reply, Mama Li continued, "He's just a man made of paper paste. He only took a few pills. How could he be so scared? I have seen a disheveled figure in the window, that is the heart of Lady Chen. It is true that Madam does not have a way to handle matters, but Miss must also bear in mind the logic of having three good men. "

No wonder Aunt Chen said that the woman in red wanted to harm her!

"Why didn't Mommy shirk a little and say it so straightforwardly? Aren't you afraid …?"

Mama Li laughed heartily. "How can people who do these kinds of things not wet their shoes when they walk by the river? I had expected this day to come, but sooner or later it will be over!"

"Mom is really the most open-minded person I've ever met!" I smiled as I stood up and cupped my hands towards her. "It's just that I'm born to be a timid person, so I still have to offend mother." I quickly stuffed the cloth back into her mouth before she could react. When I saw that she couldn't make a sound and could only glare at me with hatred, I left with the two maids.

"Do we still need to go to the old lady to answer her?" The sky had already begun to brighten up. For a moment, my vision blurred. I stood outside for a moment before recovering my spirit. When Lan Lingyun saw me standing at the door in a daze, she thought that I was going back to the house to reply, so she hurriedly led the light in that direction.

I shook my head. "Can't you see that at the back of that room is the room at the right of Grandmother's hall?"

If I hadn't carefully looked at the silver hairpin on Mama Li's head, I wouldn't have noticed that there was no light at all. Why would the silver hairpin cast a shadow on the ground at my feet? Looking at the wall again, combined with the structure of my grandmother's house, it occurred to me that there was only one wall between the back and my grandmother's main house, and that the light was reflected from the pinhole in the wall.

Since there was a light, someone must be eavesdropping inside.

"If it's going to be light today, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while, Miss!" Perhaps he had also discovered the mystery of that room. He smiled and invited me back into the room.

"What you said makes sense!" I smiled and patted Lu Kui's hand. "Indeed, it is time for you to properly recover your spirit!"

I couldn't take off my clothes again and go to bed, but I would get up after a while with the quilt over my head. Since he had not fallen asleep at all, he did not have much appetite for breakfast. When he reached his grandmother's side, he met his grandmother and Aunt Chen at the table, having breakfast. Aunt Chen was leaning on the bedpost with a pale face, and Zhou Baumu was carefully blowing spoonful after spoonful into her mouth, giving her an indescribable sense of care.

When Aunt Chen saw me enter, she seemed to want to stand up and bow. It was obvious that she had sobered up a lot, but her expression was still dispirited and she didn't have much energy left.

"Aunt, rest quickly. It won't be too late to talk about these courtesies when you're better!"

As I said this courteous sentence, Lady Chen's eyes reddened as she stared at me with tearful eyes.

"Sit down and have a bowl too!" Grandmother cleared her throat, cutting off Aunt Chen's wistful gaze.

"I've already eaten breakfast. I just came to take a look at you and the aunt before going back. There's something urgent waiting for me over there." I smiled and touched a clump of green bamboo on my sleeve. It felt rough.

Grandmother paused for a moment, then picked up a bamboo shoot and placed it on Aunt Chen's plate. She indifferently asked, "Are you full yet?"

I nodded slightly and studied my grandmother's face.

Some of the rocks looked like they had been thrown into the lake, but he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"In that case, you can handle your own matters without worry!" Grandmother leisurely took a sip of the porridge. She already knew what was going on. "Some people find it annoying, so it's better to just let her not wander around!"

That means I'm going to detain my mother.

"That's not good, right?" I hesitated. "Someone has to go out for the party!"

"She's tired after taking care of the concubine, who is pregnant, day and night. There are also those who can't take care of their body if it's not good enough to go around."

Not only did he detain his mother's freedom, but for such a grand reason, it was as if his mother would regain her freedom in the future. It had to be said that Grandmother's excuse for taking care of the sick was to imprison her mother in the courtyard.

I couldn't help but secretly nod my head, expressing my agreement with my grandmother.

After a slight pause, Grandmother abruptly added, "You just need to be careful not to miss the food in that yard. You can give her anything she wants!"

Am I wrong?

Didn't my grandmother imprison my mother to kill her? If that wasn't the case, she was the manager's wife. Besides her grandmother, who else could make her suffer? So why did they lock her up? If it was, then eating food was undoubtedly the best way to punish your mother, but your grandmother didn't use it. This wasn't something that a matriarch who was familiar with internal strife would do.

"Don't ask too much. We'll see in the future." Grandmother put down her chopsticks and carefully drank the porridge with a silver spoon in a white porcelain lotus flower bowl.

It was another 'we'll talk about it in the future'!

It's rare for me to be unable to grasp something like this.
