Marquis Changping immediately sent someone to Anxiang Courtyard. Old Madam Jiang originally wanted Zhou Mama to bring people along.

At this moment, Jiang Segu, who was standing behind Jiang Sanye, spoke up: "Azi trusts Grandfather's people, so Zhou Mama doesn't need to go!"

Then, she stepped out from behind Third Master Jiang and said, "Grandfather, Grandmother, Azi also has something to report today! Qiaolian, you speak!"

Qiaolian lowered her head and took two steps forward. "Reporting to the Marquis and the Old Madam, a couple of days ago I was ordered to go out of the manor to buy some herbs for the young lady to make mosquito repellent sachets, but I forgot to take the money, so I came back."

Just then, the maidservant saw Cai Niu sneaking out of the courtyard. She followed her and saw her go behind the rockery in the garden to plot against the young lady with someone!

The maid was terrified and dared not leave the mansion, waiting for the young lady to return so she could make a decision.

When the young lady returned, the maid told her what she had heard. The young lady said she didn't believe in those things and wasn't afraid of them. She also said that the manor had only been peaceful for a short time, so she didn't ask the maid to make a fuss!

I never imagined that Cai Niu would use this matter to frame our young lady. I truly feel sorry for her!

Marquis Changping was completely bewildered. "Who did Cai Niu conspire with to harm your girl?"

Qiaohe hesitated, but ultimately remained silent.

"Ouch, you little brat, didn't you hear me when I asked you a question?!"

"In response to your question, Lord Marquis, the young lady did not wish to pursue this matter in the first place. Firstly, she hoped that harmony would prevail in the family, and secondly, she did not want to disappoint you, Lord Marquis!"

But they've gone too far today, so I have no choice but to expose this matter to prevent that person from using such things to harm others in the future!

The Marquis's cheeks twitched, and he said resentfully, "Then tell me!"

"It's Peony! Peony and Rainbow Cow are plotting to harm the girl!"

"Bullshit! Peony has been resting in the yard and has never seen Cai Niu. How could she be plotting to harm someone!"

"My lord, you are unaware of the truth. Cai Niu is actually Shao Yao's daughter. The mother and daughter have never had any good intentions!"

These words shocked everyone, causing them to widen their eyes in astonishment!

Is that true?!

Was Lady Peony not a virgin?

Marquis Changping, Tongling, stared intently at Cai Niu kneeling on the ground with his large eyes. "Is what Qiaohe said true?"

Cai Niu, naturally unable to recognize her, trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind, saying in a low voice, "My lord, please understand, this servant has no idea who Lady Peony is..."

"Is that so?" Jiang Segu, impatient with her pretense, said indifferently, "There are quite a few people in Canghua Pavilion who know that you are mother and daughter. Just call anyone here and they will know the truth! If I were you, I should be begging for mercy right now, instead of stubbornly sticking out my mouth!"

Cai Niu trembled even more violently, looking at Jiang Segu with terror in her eyes.

How did she find out about her relationship with her mother?!

Since entering the manor, she and her mother have never met, and the person who contacts them is never the same one. She asked herself if she had given anything away, so why is this happening?

Jiang Segu glanced at Cai Niu and said to Marquis Changping, "Grandfather, I want to sue Shaoyao and her mother for practicing witchcraft against me. I ask that you allow Mother Zhou to lead people to search the courtyard where Shaoyao lives!"

This completely shocked all the servants!

Sorcery!

This was something strictly forbidden throughout history!

Marquis Changping's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What kind of mess is this?!

How did this get involved with witchcraft?!

Zhou's mother glanced at Old Madam Jiang, who was sitting upright on the couch, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes!

Old Madam Jiang spoke slowly, "I knew he was a troublemaker. Now that he's done such a thing, the Marquis's mansion will certainly not tolerate such a person! Marquis, you must be careful and not let a small matter ruin things and delay Yuan Niang's life!"

Marquis Changping seemed to have been enlightened.

Yes! Yes!

If the palace maids found out that someone in his household was using witchcraft, Yuan Niang probably wouldn't even be able to enter the palace gates!

Marquis Changping was so angry that his beard trembled and his face looked as if blood could drip from it. He smashed a teacup at Cai Niu, shouting, "What a vicious mother and daughter! How dare they use such insidious methods to deal with the young lady of my Marquis's mansion! Guards, beat this mother and daughter out of the Marquis's mansion!"

Jiang Segu was astonished that Marquis Changping had convicted Peony without even searching the courtyard, and for a moment he couldn't understand Marquis Changping.

Little did she know that the Marquis of Changping was wary of the large number of servants in the courtyard. If the courtyard was searched and any amulets were found, and someone was not careful and the news got out, it would be a terrible thing!

If the courtyard is not searched, the charge of using witchcraft will be baseless and unsubstantiated if anyone brings it up in the future, and the reputation of Marquis Changping will not be damaged.

Just then, someone else came into the small courtyard.

"Reporting to the Marquis, it was just a false alarm. Lady Peony's unborn child is fine!"

The doctor who had come to give the reply earlier was dumbfounded.

What a false alarm!

Was all that bloody water just a false alarm?

Meanwhile, the people who went to search Jiangse Valley's courtyard also returned.

"Reporting to the Marquis, there is no Panax notoginseng powder in the Sixth Miss's room!"

"Grandfather, is there anything else I need to do here? If not, I'll take my leave now!"

Now that her goal had been achieved, she needed to leave quickly with Qiaohe and Qinghong to avoid anyone realizing what was happening and getting herself into trouble!

Marquis Changping glared at Jiang Segu, about to grant him permission to leave, when Old Madam Jiang said, "Azi, stay! Marquis, please take the person from the side courtyard away. I don't want to see her for another second! Zhou Mama, you go and personally take her to the front courtyard for punishment, don't dirty my place!"

Mother Zhou, as expected, had someone set up the colorful ox and then led a group of people to the small courtyard.

Marquis Changping flung his sleeves and stormed off in anger.
