A maid who signed a death contract would be a member of her master's family for the rest of her life. Unless she asked her master to release her from the contract, she would never be able to make her own decisions. Once she escaped, she would be considered a traitor to her master. Not only could she not live like an ordinary person, but she would also be an illegal resident without a household registration. Such a person could not go anywhere, and could no longer work for others or be a slave. No one cared whether she lived or died. If she was kidnapped, it would be worse than being a slave.

Not to mention that once she was caught, she would be sent back to her master's family for punishment, and her fate would never be good.

Xiaoju trembled and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "I know I was wrong, please have mercy, Miss. I was just bewildered for a moment, please forgive me!"

"Did someone instruct you?"

Calculating the time, it should be coming soon, Jiang Ruohua asked slowly, and asked someone to prepare the board.

This kind of thing cannot be dared by a little girl. The life belongs to the master. Even if the master is not a good person, he can only spit on him behind his back. Even if Aunt Yuan is not a master, she is enjoying the treatment of half a master now that she is pregnant. Even if Aunt Yuan has made this girl angry in the past, she should understand that she will die if she harms the master's offspring.

"Yuan'er! I heard that something happened to you? What's wrong? Is the child okay?"

Jiang Ruohua stood up slowly from the chair. Her third uncle, whom she had been looking forward to, came.

However, the Third Lady also came with them. After the group came in, Yinqiu wiped the sweat off her face and quietly returned to Jiang Ruohua's side, and gave her a look.

Things have been done.

Jiang Ruohua was confident that everything would come naturally. When she saw Third Master Jiang coming, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Third Uncle, Auntie, Aunt Yuan is fine. Huaer has asked the court doctor to see her."

Aunt Yuan was leaning in Third Master Jiang's arms and sobbing softly. The Third Lady also pretended to be magnanimous and asked beside her bed, "What's going on? What happened out of the blue?"

"This dishonest girl, I don't know whose instructions, secretly switched the medicines for Aunt Yuan and my elder brother. Fortunately, I ordered the servants to let Aunt Yuan taste the medicine first, so they found something wrong before Aunt Yuan drank it. Aunt Yuan was frightened by this." Jiang Ruohua briefly sorted out the matter, and without waiting for the Third Madam to ask anything, she continued, "It would be bad if the matter was delayed, so Hua'er asked someone to investigate without authorization. The palace doctor and the witness are outside, and they can prove that it was this girl. I changed the medicine. My aunt and my third uncle came back just in time. I was just about to send someone to my eldest brother to prevent him from accidentally taking my aunt's pregnancy-preserving medicine."

Jiang Ruohua said skillfully without any hesitation, "When the servants caught this girl, she was packing up her clothes and preparing to escape through the dog hole. Huaer was just planning to have someone drag her down for a thorough interrogation to see who had instructed her to harm my aunt's pregnant brother."

The third lady opened her mouth. She hadn't even done anything. Who could be so uncontrollable? She was even more furious, but after being out for such a short while, the matter was almost resolved by Jiang Ruohua. No one had ever taught her these things, but this little bitch managed to handle it so well without any instruction!

"Quick, go to Zhao'er's house and have a look!" Mr. Jiang ordered people to go, "Why are there such things happening in the house?"

The third lady suddenly felt guilty, lowered her head and said: "I have been neglectful recently, and there are too many things in the house and property. Fortunately, I have Hua'er to help me this time, otherwise if anything happens to Zhao'er and Aunt Yuan, I will really be ashamed of the master!" Unlike the

third lady, Mr. Jiang's wife and concubine In groups, the biggest headache is that he doesn't have many children. Regardless of the legitimate children, they are all his children. Aunt Yuan's child is probably a son, so naturally Mr. Jiang is worried.

Having a somewhat sickly legitimate son in middle age would make people laugh at his poor fortune. Third Master Jiang pulled Aunt Yuan and looked at her carefully. Hearing what the Third Lady said, he calmed down a little: "That's all, as long as nothing happens. Madam, you should pay more attention to the children at home when you have time. Fortunately, Hua'er is older and sensible. If no one is there to help you, wouldn't it be a mess?"

"Master, you are right. I am really negligent. I have not been able to take good care of the children and concubines in the mansion for you."

Jiang Ruohua added fuel to the fire at the right time: "Uncle, don't blame aunt. Aunt is so hard to manage such a big Duke's Mansion. In the final analysis, it is because someone has evil intentions. Otherwise, no matter it is the cause or the eldest brother, how could he suffer such an unprovoked disaster?"

She looked at the third wife and stood beside her with a smile.

Look, how nice she is, talking to you.

But when it comes to offspring, how can Jiang Sanye not be angry? But after his niece said this, he couldn't say anything else. But Jiang Sanye felt from the bottom of his heart that such a careless thing should not be done by the third wife, so he kept the remaining little dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Third Madam clenched her teeth slightly. Jiang Ruohua heard everything clearly beside her. Although she tried her best to slow down her movements, she still couldn't hold back. But how could she lose her temper at this time? Wouldn't it just prove her incompetence? And she targeted her niece for no reason?

Her reputation would be ruined in an instant!

"Don't blame yourself, Auntie. Hua'er knows that you have always worked hard. Someone has ulterior motives this time." Jiang Ruohua started to pretend to be ignorant in front of the Third Madam, then raised her eyebrows and looked stern, "Why don't you beat this girl down and interrogate her severely! What are you doing standing there?"

Sorry, Third Madam, she was determined to take advantage of the limelight today.

The Third Madam suddenly felt powerless and became more determined not to give Jiang Ruohua back what she had in her hands. This girl was too smart. Without the constraints of the engagement, she showed signs of being out of her control so quickly!

This was not a good thing!

She had originally wanted to wait for the right opportunity, and she had not been in a hurry to control Jiang Ruohua. However, Jiang Ruohua's actions these days were too surprising to her. The changes were much greater than she had expected! If this continued, it was very likely that Jiang Ruohua would discover the truth one day!

Xiaoju was dragged outside and beaten with a stick. After she couldn't stand the pain, she poured out everything like beans.

"I was caught stealing things from Aunt Ying. Aunt Ying forced me to do all these. I didn't want to die, so I wanted to escape after doing all these. Miss, please spare my life!"

As she spoke, she shook out the bundle on the ground beside her: "This, this is given by Aunt Ying..."

Inside were some pearl hairpins and jewelry, the finished products were good, and Third Master Jiang recognized them more, they were all gifts from him before. This Aunt Ying was a beauty he had just redeemed from the kiln, young and beautiful, and she had been in Aunt Ying's room every now and then recently.

"Auntie, Third Uncle, you see..." At the critical moment, Jiang Ruohua threw the question back to the two of them.
