"I……"
The second concubine felt guilty and said, "How could I possibly do such a thing?"
The butler also said, "Miss, this is all my nephew's fault. I'll take him to turn himself in right now."
“That’s not right.” Rong Shang didn’t intend to let the second concubine off so quickly. “Li Hao has no grudge against me, why would he poison me?”
"You..." The second concubine nervously fiddled with her handkerchief. After a while, she laughed and said, "What are you saying? Oh, Li Hao has no grudge against you, but do I have a grudge against you?"
“We have a grudge.” Rong Chang blurted out these three words subconsciously.
The housekeeper and the second concubine were both stunned by what they heard.
The second concubine pretended to be very sad, saying, "Shuqing, how could you say that?"
"Over the years, I have treated you very well."
Not thin?
Rong Chang sneered inwardly.
It is "not stingy".
"Alright, Auntie, I was just joking with you."
Turning back, Rong Shang said to the butler, "Take him there."
"Yes, Miss."
The housekeeper was somewhat disappointed, as he had thought she could say something to help his nephew.
The result...sigh.
Ultimately, these poor people couldn't compete with these rich people.
"Let's go, let's go."
The butler pulled him away.
Li Hao was unwilling to give up and kept looking back.
At that moment, Rong Shang turned around and looked at the second concubine. She saw that the second concubine had placed her hand on the wooden table, supporting her forehead and blocking her view.
Li Hao knew that his second concubine had no intention of saving him.
Hmph, that old hag.
Just you wait, when I get out, I'll make you pay.

Last night, Rong Shang deliberately had her second concubine send someone to deal with the poisonous snakes in her room.
Back then, when the servants heard that there were poisonous snakes in her room, they were all too frightened to go in.
Rong Shang then asked the second concubine, "Then, what should I do?"
The second concubine had no choice.
She actually hoped that Guan Shuqing could move in and be bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
But she knows everything now.
"Alright, you can stay in the south wing tonight."
The second concubine comforted her, "Tomorrow, I'll find someone to handle it."
"Tomorrow?" Rong Shang deliberately startled them, "If this poisonous snake crawls out of my room tomorrow and then crawls into someone else's room..."
ah.
They screamed in fright.
The second concubine, however, was relieved that her room was far away.
Rong Shang felt it didn't matter.
She simply said, "Isn't Shuli the closest to me?"
With just one sentence, he successfully changed the second concubine's attitude.
Now, she couldn't help but worry.
They offered a hefty reward, saying that whoever could catch those venomous snakes in the shortest amount of time would be given a silver dollar.
piece?
The group said that compared to their lives, they would rather keep their lives than accept the dollar.
No one agreed.
Left with no other choice, the second concubine raised the reward to ten silver dollars.
Surely someone will want this?
That's for sure.
But then the second concubine felt a pang of regret.
Ten silver dollars! She only earned two silver dollars from the housekeeper that night.
Now, these ten silver dollars...
Oh well, never mind.
Life is of the essence.
...
Early in the morning, Rong Shang went to the market to buy meat buns.
She was accidentally bumped into, and at that moment Rong Shang felt a hand touching the purse at her waist.
She quickly looked up, about to grab the other person's hand.
Her other hand was one step ahead of hers.
Thud.
Shen Changling grabbed the man's hand and lifted him up.
"You little thief, how dare you steal money in the market."
"I...I didn't." The man denied it and even threatened to sink Changling.
Rong Shang thought to herself, "This guy looks so easy to bully, why don't I go and help him?"
