Nangong Jiu slid off Nangong Yunxue's body and onto the ground.
He ran to Chu Ruofeng and stretched out his arms for a hug.
Chu Ruofeng hurriedly picked up the little guy and said, "Jiu'er, did you do this?"
Nangong Jiu nodded.
[Uncle, there's something wrong with this maid. She wants to kill you to avenge her sister.]
"Killing us to avenge her sister? Why?"
The whole family looked at each other in surprise.
Chu Ruofeng asked Mrs. Chu.
"Who is she? And what about her sister?"
Madam Chu looked at the maid carefully and shook her head: "She is a newly bought maid for menial duties. Her name is Qing something?"
The nanny beside Mrs. Chu hurried to call the housekeeper.
After the housekeeper understood the situation, he was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He pointed at the maid and said, "Her original name was Li Cai'er. She was just bought into the mansion a few days ago and named Qinglan."
Madam Chu stared at Qinglan: "Tell me, who is your sister?"
Seeing the truth exposed, Qinglan was extremely emotional and struggled hard: "My sister's name is Li Xing'er, she is dead! Dead!
She is my only relative. Why don’t you want my sister?
Just because you didn't want her, she was sold to a demon by human traffickers and was tortured to death by that demon yesterday.
I hate you all, you all deserve to die!!”
The butler thought for a moment and pointed at Qinglan.
"Among the people the traffickers brought that day, there was one named Li Xing'er, who looked delicate and frail. We were buying a capable maid, not a prostitute.
Because we didn't buy her, it's our fault?
Is there anyone who takes his anger out on others like you?
It's really strange. Your sister is in trouble, why are you looking for us instead of the murderer? "
Qinglan gritted her teeth and said, "I went to look for them yesterday, but they were so vicious that I couldn't even get through the door.
After much difficulty in finding out the whereabouts of my sister, I went to the mass grave, but she had been eaten by wild beasts, leaving only a few bones.
My sister died tragically, I want to avenge her."
"You can't do anything to them. Seeing that the general's family is easy to talk to, you take your anger out on them. It seems you are picking on the weak.
You sneaked out yesterday, and before I could find you, you got into trouble."
At this time, little Wang Xiaoxing brought out the person in charge of the kitchen, carrying a pot of fragrant chicken soup.
"General, Madam, there's arsenic in this pot of chicken soup."
Everyone was shocked.
Mrs. Chu stood up and was about to go to the kitchen when the steward hurriedly said, "Madam, we've checked all the dishes, food, and snacks. Only the chicken soup is poisonous."
Mrs. Chu was extremely angry.
"Chunlan, do you know what you are doing? Do you know what will happen to these people today if they drink this chicken soup with arsenic?
Putting aside the fact that the Second Prince and Princess Dingguo are here, how could you possibly have the heart to take these ten or so innocent lives?"
Qinglan cried and laughed.
He glanced at Nangong Yunxue, then stared at Nangong Jiu: "I heard that you have gods protecting you. If you are gods, why don't you open your eyes and make decisions for your people?"
A voice entered her ears: "Those who do evil will be punished by God.
You want to poison so many innocent lives, what's the difference between you and those unforgivable demons?"
Qinglan laughed and looked up at the sky.
"Kill me, I'm going to look for my sister. I don't think she's far away."
Mrs. Chu glanced at Qinglan.
Then he looked at the housekeeper and said, “She almost caused a disaster. Although there are reasons for it, she cannot be kept here.
If I sell it, it might harm the next buyer, so I need to deal with it..."
Mrs. Chu glanced at Chu Xia's belly, stopped in time, and took a deep breath.
"The child in Xia'er's belly is a gift from the gods. Consider it a virtue for the child. Give her thirty lashes and throw her out of the house. Whether she lives or dies depends on her fate."
Qinglan raised her head in disbelief.
"You won't kill me?"
General Chu said sullenly, "Killing you is just a matter of raising our hands for us.
But we won't kill you. If you survive, we only hope that you will abandon evil and do good for the rest of your life, and take care of yourself!"
The butler and several guards dragged the man out.
Before leaving, Chunlan struggled to her knees and yelled, "General, Madam, I was wrong..."
General Chu picked up Nangong Jiu and said, "Jiu'er, you saved us all!"
Nangong Jiu fed the food in his hand to General Chu's mouth: "Piggy... Seven!"
"Okay, okay, great-grandfather, eat!"
Mrs. Chu was worried, so she personally brought the court doctor to recheck all the food and snacks.
Although this happened, it did not affect Nangong Jiu's enthusiasm for the meal.
When lunch was served, everyone in the mansion gathered in the yard, toasting each other and chatting happily.
Nangong Jiu stood on the bench with a smile on his face, his mouth and face covered in oil from eating.
General Chu smiled and picked up a honey-glazed chicken leg for her.
"Jiu'er, try it and see if it tastes good."
Nangong Jiu picked up the chicken leg with both hands and took a bite. After chewing for a while with his eyes narrowed, he smiled and nodded: "Ha Qi..."
Liu Hao smiled and asked, "Does the taste sound familiar?"
Nangong Jiu looked at Liu Hao in confusion.
“It was made by our chef.
Because you like the food prepared by the imperial chefs, I invited them to the mansion, and today I specially transferred them to the Chu Mansion."
Nangong Jiu looked at Taoist Qingchen and his disciple.
There were nine specially prepared vegetarian dishes on a small square table, each of which looked very exquisite.
Now, he continued to eat his own food with greater satisfaction.
Half an hour later, Nangong Jiu burped and asked Taoist Qingchen and Wuwang to lead him to digest the food.
Seeing Nangong Jiu's satisfied expression, Wuwang asked tentatively, "Master, Madam Chu released that maid, aren't you angry?"
"Don't be angry, the guards' thirty lashes are enough for her.
The maid was not a wicked person, but she had a demon in her heart because of her sister's death.
If you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly. She hasn't made a serious mistake yet. It's right for her aunt to give her a chance to correct her mistakes.
And in the end, she repented.”
Wuwang nodded: "She knelt down and apologized."
Nangong Jiu looked at the two masters and apprentices: "We are leaving tomorrow. I want to go with my mother and the others. What about you?"
Taoist Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "Jiujun, we will not bother His Highness and Madam any more. Let's go back to Lingyin Monastery first.
Wuwang's cultivation foundation is unstable, so let him return to Lingyin Temple to cultivate as soon as possible."
"Alright, you guys go back first. There are so many people returning to Beijing this time, so the journey will be very slow. There's really no need for you to waste time on the road."
Wuwang was reluctant to leave: "Master, how about you come with us and wait for them at Lingyin Temple?"
"No, I want to stay with my mother!
We will be separated again in March next year, and we will be going to the Magic Forest for at least a few months. I want to use these months to spend more time with my mother.
Accompanying is also filial piety. It was not easy for my mother to give birth to me and raise me. I want to be a filial person."
Taoist Qingchen looked at Nangong Jiu.
"How will Jiu Jun cultivate after returning to the capital?"
