Cai He's face was covered with tears. "I really don't know. I disguised myself and went to the foot of the mountain to find the thugs. They all took money to ensure that the matter would be successful."
Ning Rongrong's face was filled with madness: "Then why didn't they come? How did Ning Danruo not get ruined?"
Caihe shrank her body and let Ning Rongrong vent her anger. The more she resisted, the harder she would be beaten.
When she saw that there was a vacancy for the head maid in Ning Rongrong's position, she spent money to fill the vacancy. Only then did she find out that the previous head maid was secretly tortured to death by Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong wanted her only to find out all the information about the older girl. Fortunately, she usually helped Ning Rongrong do a lot of shameful things, so Ning Rongrong rarely hit her.
The plan failed today because the eldest lady was unlucky with her. She had clearly hooked up with the eldest master at the beginning, but not only did she have to follow the eldest lady to the temple to live a hard life, but the eldest master even forgot about her when she returned.
Ning Rongrong fought for a long time and was tired, so she asked Caihe to go to the foot of the mountain to find the two people and find out why they went back on their word.
After Caihe left, Ning Rongrong yawned out of sleepiness and went straight back to bed to catch up on her sleep. After tossing and turning for most of the night, she fell into a deep sleep.
--
Just as the sun rose, there was a knock on Danruo's window. Danruo opened the window and saw Ji Chenglin handing Ning Rongrong's cat to her with a cold face. "I want a box of pear blossom cake," he said, and turned to leave.
Danruo turned around and woke up Caiyue, and the two of them carried the cat to the yard next door where Ning Rongrong was temporarily staying.
She knocked on the gate, but no one opened it. She pushed the door gently and it opened. She heard some movement inside the house. She walked forward and kicked the door open, screaming in surprise.
Ning Rongrong, who was immersed in her dream on the bed, also woke up. She looked at the sloppy stranger next to her who was half-dressed and knew that he was not the lover in her dream, the current emperor.
She quickly realized her situation, put on a robe, and quickly ran out of bed. Her underwear was still in the hands of the strange man.
However, her other maid, Tao Liu, was still sleeping soundly on the floor.
She stepped forward and slapped Tao Liu on the head, "You bitch, you dare to meet a man secretly and implicate the master."
Tao Liu woke up from her sleep, looked around and saw the situation in front of her. She had to admit her mistake, because the lives of her entire family were in the hands of the fifth girl.
The man on the bed was also confused, but he knew he had messed up and didn't dare to speak.
Ning Rongrong told Tao Liu to take the man away, and then she knelt down in front of Dan Ruo with deep affection, crying her eyes out.
"Big sister, this is all the result of that stupid little bitch's foolish behavior. I was the victim by accident. If outsiders knew what happened today, I would at best be unable to get married and would always be living in seclusion.
But it will delay my sister's position as queen, as well as the marriages of more than ten other sisters in the family, so please don't tell anyone about it. Otherwise, my father and mother will be angry with me.
Dan Ruo pretended to think: "The position of Queen?"
Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, "Sister, according to the Queen Mother's wishes, is going to be the Queen in this selection. I didn't tell you yesterday because I was afraid that if things weren't finalized, your excitement would be in vain."
Dan Ruo hesitated. "But a person must live up to his duty. Now that this has happened, as an elder sister is like a mother, I will marry you to this man. I won't tell anyone, and this won't affect my selection or the marriages of the other sisters in the mansion."
Ning Rongrong was terrified:
"Big sister, the Ning family's daughters' marriages are arranged by our father. If I marry this man, you won't be able to hold your head up high. As long as you don't marry me to this man and don't spread the news, I am willing to work like a slave for you."
Dan Ruo seemed to be interested: "How do you work like a slave?"
Ning Rongrong quickly expressed her loyalty: "I can give all my money to Big Sister, and I am just a chess piece of Big Sister. If Big Sister tells me to go east, I will never go west."
Dan Ruo pretended to be moved and smiled playfully, saying that it hurts the most when a slow knife cuts the flesh.
In her previous life, she hid behind the original owner and enjoyed the benefits of the fishing net. In this life, she was pushed to the front to perform a show, to see how long she can survive in the complicated palace.
Dan Ruo, who had made a windfall, was in a very good mood. She picked out the clothes and jewelry she liked from the ones Ning Rongrong brought and dressed up beautifully.
Danruo made a pear blossom cake and asked Caiyue to send it to the cottage in the back mountain, and then she and Ning Rongrong got on the carriage to the Empress Dowager's palace.
Along the way, Ning Rongrong served tea and water, and she rushed to do Caiyue's work.
Look, Ning Rongrong picked up the green bean cake on the plate and handed it to Danruo with a smile.
"Big sister, this is the new product from Wang's shop that you loved the most. I asked the maid to buy it for you this morning."
Danruo smelled the deadly poison in the pastry and realized that a dog’s nature could not be changed.
She used her spiritual power to expel the poison before eating it, then ate it mouthful by mouthful, commenting on the taste after finishing.
Ning Rongrong waited for a while and saw Dan Ruo chatting and laughing freely, which made her feel uneasy. Where was the promised heartbreaking poison? She had mixed the poison into the pot herself, so how could it be fake?
Dan Ruo glanced at her, handed her the mung bean cake in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Why are you staring at me? I'm greedy for this mung bean cake. You've been busy for so long, have a piece."
Seeing that Ning Rongrong didn't want to eat, Dan Ruo pretended to be angry: "This morning you said that you would never go west when I said east. Now I see that you have worked hard to let you eat a cake, but you don't appreciate it."
Ning Rongrong quickly took the mung bean cake and put on a flattering smile: "Thank you, big sister."
He thought that since Danruo was fine after eating several pieces, she must have bought fake poison. He had the leverage over this bitch, so he had to calm her down first and then wait for an opportunity to kill her.
After all, she was born of a legitimate wife, was loved by the empress dowager, and her maternal family had military power.
The emperor clearly loves her, but he still wants to marry this woman in order to get the empress dowager to help him fight against the regent.
He could have let her live a few more years, and then killed her after he and the emperor had used her to their advantage.
Now that what happened this morning has happened, all those who know about it must die, otherwise the emperor will definitely abandon me if he finds out.
And what happened this morning must have been planned by Ning Danruo. He was just seeking revenge.
She took a small bite of the mung bean cake and put it down. Although it was fake poison, she would definitely not eat it if it were not for the purpose of avoiding Danruo's suspicion.
In an instant, her stomach felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and blood was already flowing from her nose. She said in panic, "It's poisonous."
Caiyue looked at Danruo worriedly, her voice trembling with fear, "Miss, you just ate so much, spit it out quickly."
Dan Ruo smiled brightly and said cheerfully, "Of course it's poisonous. The Fifth Miss added the Heartbreak Powder herself this morning. It's said that within a quarter of an hour, you'll bleed to death from all seven orifices, and there's absolutely no antidote."
Ning Rongrong tried desperately to induce vomiting, but her stomach ached so much that she asked with difficulty, "How are you okay?"
Dan Ruo said as a matter of course: "Of course it's because I know how to prepare the antidote."
It seems like it's saying something very simple.
