"Sister, what do you mean by that? I just wanted to show my appreciation to her and let her replenish her body. How could I possibly give her drugs? I clearly know that Qingran is a medical practitioner. How could I possibly give her drugs?"
"Then who do you want to drug?" Lian Jinyu asked.
"I think... I don't want to drug anyone. I serve you carefully all day long, and I'm afraid of making mistakes. How dare you cause trouble?" Lian Jinrong looked aggrieved.
An Zhongtao sneered, "I thought you had changed. You wanted to harm both the mistress and the legitimate son before. Didn't you find that half-immortal? Now you have changed direction and are dealing with Qingran..."
"General, I swear on my two children that I knew nothing about this matter. If there is a problem with this embroidery, it must be because someone wants to put the blame on me. General, please investigate..." Lian Jinrong looked dissatisfied.
An Zhongtao's face was twisted with anger. He pointed at Lian Jinrong and said, "Who can put the blame on you? I was wondering why you have been acting so well recently, as if you have always been a kind person. I tell you, if you want to play tricks on me again, you have to think about it. If you admit it, you will suffer less. If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude..."
"General, I have never done it, and I will never do it even if you kill me..." Lian Jinrong still looked insistent.
"Someone, lock her up first and let her starve for two days." An Zhongtao didn't want to listen to her quibbling, so he just stood up and left.
Matron Hong and another maid approached to pull Lian Jinrong away, but she stared at them fiercely: "No need for you, I can walk by myself..."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at An Qingran and Lian Jinyu: "You framed me..."
Lian Jinyu gritted her teeth in anger: "We framed you, to the point of disfiguring my precious daughter? Is it worth it for you to spend so much money?"
Lian Jinrong's tone choked: "Anyway, I haven't done it..."
Before she finished speaking, she had already walked outside. There were a few loud laughs. An Qingran's body swayed and she almost fell down. She fell on the chair. Just then, Ren Dong brought some medicine. She drank a few sips and put it aside. "Mom, I'm fine. I just have acne on my face. They said it's seriously disfigured."
"My daughter, you have to take the medicine on time. Lian Jinrong did this because I was not vigilant enough. I didn't expect her to attack you. I was wrong. I don't know if your father will let her out this time. It's hard for you to plead for her at that time. After the ban was lifted, she repaid my kindness with enmity. It's really hard for my kind child..." Lian Jinyu started crying again.
An Qingran said: "Mom, don't cry, I will be fine, I promise..."
Her eyes were burning.
"Child, have you thought of a treatment plan yourself?" Lian Jinyu stopped crying.
"You will find it slowly. Mother, don't you still believe me? I can solve many difficult problems. You should solve your own face problem by yourself." An Qingran showed a strong smile on her face.
Lian Jinyu didn't know whether she was trying to comfort herself or whether she really had the ability to cure it, but after she said that, she really felt much better.
"Mother, please take good care of my brother now and don't give anyone the opportunity to take advantage of him." An Qingran coaxed Lian Jinyu away.
Back in the house, she sat there quietly, pulling a piece of green silk gauze, with no expression on her face that could tell whether she was sad or happy.
"Miss, Aunt Lian won't have another chance this time, right?" Honeysuckle whispered.
"Not necessarily. My face isn't a big deal. My father might not be so cruel..."
"What should we do then?"
"Just wait patiently, the good show will continue." A sneer appeared on An Qingran's lips.
Seeing this, Honeysuckle didn't ask any more questions.
An Zhongtao returned to his study, still furious. He paced around the room, not knowing what to do next. Finally, he stopped and struck the table next to him. The table broke into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere. There was a loud bang, and Fuquan, who was outside, ran in frightened. When the general saw it was him, his eyes were still wide open with anger. Fuquan was so frightened that he asked cautiously if he wanted someone to clean up.
The general waved his hand and asked him to go out as well.
He sat in the room with a gloomy face and annoyance in his eyes. He was repeatedly fooled by this woman. If he let her go on, who knows what would happen.
He had just sat there for a while when Fuquan came and said a few words to him. An Zhongtao's face calmed down instead. He was no longer angry, but there was a chill in his eyes.
"Okay, go and verify this matter and come back to tell me." An Zhongtao seemed to have used up all his strength and finally sat on the rattan chair. There were still pieces of table on it, but he ignored them.
Fuquan received the order, left the study, and looked at Madam Hong: "Come with me."
Nanny Hong was holding a small jacket in her hand, which was the one An Mingchen wore before he fell ill. She was carrying the jacket on a shoulder pole, far away from herself. When Fuquan saw it, he also frowned.
When they arrived at Lan Xiao Pavilion, An Yanran was crying outside the room. An Mingxuan was the same, wiping his tears and calling for his mother. Lian Jinrong's voice came from inside: "Don't cry, mother is not afraid of anything she has never done..."
An Yanran saw Fuquan and Nanny Hong coming and looking strange, so she couldn't help but step forward to ask in fear.
Fuquan respected them as young lady and young master after all, so he kindly asked them to go back to the house.
An Yanran refused to go back, and Fuquan had no choice but to let her stand outside and open the door. When Lian Jinrong saw Madam Hong, she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't do it. Even if you come to interrogate me, I didn't do it..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the small jacket in Nanny Hong's hand and was obviously surprised.
Matron Hong and Fu Quan both noticed the panic in her eyes. Matron Hong said, "Mother Lian, do you recognize this little jacket?"
"Yes, I sewed it myself."
"Then you must know what's inside this jacket, right?" Nanny Hong sneered.
"You have framed me for what you have." Lian Jinrong sneered, "Now you can say that I did everything. I am not afraid of two more charges. You masters and servants are all extremely cunning. I admit defeat..."
"So that means you don't know what mechanism is inside this jacket?" Fuquan suddenly said.
Lian Jinrong looked at him and sneered: "I really don't know when you became the running dog of Dong Nuan Pavilion..."
"Don't speak so harshly. I am here on the orders of the general to find out something. This little coat was made by Aunt Lian, so you will definitely say there is nothing wrong with it, right?"
"Yes, if there is anything wrong, it is someone else's frame-up."
"Well, in that case, why don't we let the second young master try it on. I think there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that the mistress is trying to accuse him." The expression on Fuquan's face was very calm, and there was a little bit of respect on his face.
