"I won't eat! I won't eat!"

Gu Qing was furious and didn't want to waste any more words with her.

"Since you didn't poison it, why don't you dare eat it!"

"Besides, who are you trying to tip off by going through the dog hole?!"

Seeing her agitated, Chen Zhizhou stood up and pulled her back: "Why are you fighting with a maid?"

"Just because she doesn't want to eat it doesn't mean she can't eat it."

Hong Xiao felt disheartened after hearing what Chen Zhizhou said.

Xuanfeng received the order, clamped her chin with one hand, and stuffed the pastry into her mouth with the other hand.

At the critical moment, Hong Xiao squeezed out two hoarse words: "I say!"

The house suddenly became quiet, while outside the house the wind was howling. Before summer, the last spring rain was about to wash over the capital.

Gu Qing looked back at her with a cold gaze, "Let go of Hong Xiao."

Xuanfeng first glanced at Chen Zhizhou, and only let go after his master nodded.

"If you tell the truth, I will spare your life. If you hide anything, I will make you wish you were dead."

After seeing Chen Zhizhou's methods, Hong Xiao dared not hide it anymore. She kowtowed repeatedly and only stopped after her head was broken.

"It was my aunt! It was my aunt who asked me to be her spy, otherwise she would kill my mother and brother!" Hong Xiao cried miserably.

She has never been able to make her own decisions in her life.

Gu Qing gestured for her to continue.

"I also stole the things from the warehouse. But my aunt felt that this was not enough to shake Jiao Lan's foundation, so she asked me to poison and kill people!"

"If Jiao Lan kills someone, she can make Madam plead guilty in court and completely destroy your hard work!"
