Chapter 43: Treat her!
Nanny Ruiqing went to do it immediately and soon brought a doctor.
Li Jiaojiao was crying softly while hugging Nan Jie'er. Zhou Yan couldn't bear to see this. Before he found out the truth, he couldn't blame anyone. He could only comfort her:
"Jiaojiao, don't worry. The doctor will use the best medicine. Sister Nan will be fine."
"Cousin, I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't tolerate me. Otherwise, I'd better take my two children and leave, so as not to disturb your family's peace..." Li Jiaojiao cried silently, tears rolling down her face.
"What are you talking about? Your mother died early, and your father... this is your home." Li Ziyan comforted.
Su Luo ignored Li Jiaojiao's acting and picked up the teapot. She poured a cup of tea for each of them and handed one to Li Jiaojiao as well.
"Sister Jiaojiao said that this was the child you gave birth to with great difficulty, and she wouldn't allow anyone to hurt him. So, is this how you're allowed to hurt yourself?"
"My sister also said that I was the only one who held a baby today. You were also one of the other people who held a baby."
"What do you mean? My cousin is saying that I should attack Nan Jie'er myself? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! Besides, I'm not a tiger! I'm their biological mother!" Li Jiaojiao clenched her fists, shaking with anger.
"Cousin, you are slandering me! You accused me of hitting my child. You must apologize!"
Su Luo waved her folding fan calmly and said, "Let's talk about it after we find the evidence."
Soon, Nanny Ruiqing came over and shook her head, saying, "Madam, Master, we have searched the Young Madam's courtyard from top to bottom and haven't found any ointment."
Li Jiaojiao's body trembled, and she said hurriedly: "Impossible! Look carefully again!" She looked at Shaoyao!
Shaoyao frowned and said, "Madam Ruiqing, did you miss something? Like the bed?"
She walked towards the bed and suddenly felt something shaking in her side pocket.
Shaoyao's expression changed slightly, and she touched the bag quietly. She stood there in a daze for a moment as if struck by lightning.
Didn’t she throw the things out?
What should I do? I can only throw the medicine box away without showing any emotion.
Shaoyao quietly stood behind everyone, and was about to make a move——
Qingxue looked at Su Luo. Although Qingxue and Qingya had not been with Su Luo for a long time and did not have the same tacit understanding as Yun Ran, Su Luo still realized that there was something wrong with Shaoyao.
"On the bed? Shaoyao, how do you know there's something wrong with the bed? Did you put something on the bed?" Yun Ran asked sharply.
Shaoyao's hands froze! She unnoticedly hid the medicine box in her sleeve and put it behind her back.
"What are you hiding behind you? Peony." Yun Ran saw it with his sharp eyes.
Li Jiaojiao's heart was in her throat! What was going on? Didn't Shaoyao succeed as soon as she entered the door?
Everyone in the room looked towards Shaoyao instantly——
Those gazes were like knives soaked in chili oil, slicing at Shaoyao. Shaoyao froze in place, feeling uneasy. She quickly composed herself and replied, "Nothing, my hands just felt a little itchy, so I scratched my back."
She stuffed the medicine box deep into her sleeve behind her back. After confirming that it was correct, she carefully reached out her hand. Beads of sweat rolled down her face. She spread out ten fingers to the crowd, and there was a hint of unnaturalness in her voice:
"See? Yunran! I have nothing in my hands."
Li Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Su Luo stopped spinning her fan and slowly straightened her face: "Someone, tear off Shaoyao's clothes."
"No!" Shaoyao subconsciously resisted, her face instantly full of alertness, and she took two steps back.
"Although I am a servant, I am also innocent. If my clothes are torn off in public, how can I live as a human being in the future? If the Crown Prince's wife wants to tear off my clothes without any reason, I might as well jump into the well now!"
No one expected that Su Luo would say four words directly: "Then go ahead."
This! This! This! Shaoyao froze in place!
"Why aren't you going?" Su Luo smiled, a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she was genuinely curious about Shaoyao's decision. This made her feel unnecessarily threatened and oppressed. "I'm the Crown Prince's Consort. What's wrong with me cutting off the clothes of a servant like you? And you're even threatening me with suicide?"
"I want to see what you have hidden in your sleeves!" Su Luo said coldly, "Qingxue Qingya! Yunran! What are you standing there for!"
The three maids received the order and went straight to strip Shaoyao's outer shirt!
Li Jiaojiao handed Nan Jie'er to Zhou Yan, jumped out and spread her arms to protect Shaoyao. It was not that she wanted to protect Shaoyao, but if Shaoyao was finished, she would be finished too. After all, she was Shaoyao's master. If the master did not give the order, how could the maid dare to act?
"I'm here today, let's see who dares to touch Shaoyao? Does sister-in-law suspect that Shaoyao has hidden the medicine box? How could Shaoyao be such a person! Just because I'm the Crown Prince's consort, can I frame someone for no reason?!"
"I didn't say Shaoyao hid the medicine box! That was what my sister said!" Su Luo sneered and said coldly,
"Just because you're the Crown Prince's cousin, does that mean you can frame someone for no reason? You have no evidence at all, and yet you come to search my house based solely on your assumptions. I've allowed you to search my house, and I'm only searching your servant, so why can't I?"
"Search!" Su Luo said!
Yun Ran, Qingxue and Qingya bypassed Li Jiaojiao and tried to take off Shaoyao's coat. Shaoyao's two hands could not resist six hands, not to mention that Yun Ran, Qingxue and Qingya all knew martial arts, and they accidentally pressed Shaoyao's fixed point.
Shaoyao could only watch Yun Ran take out a green medicine box from deep in her sleeve!
After finding the things, Yun Ran accidentally untied Shaoyao's acupuncture!
The moment the medicine box was found. Li Jiaojiao stared at Shaoyao with poisonous eyes, and endless abuse seemed to be hidden in this look. Why didn't this idiot resist!
Wasn't it already successful?! Why did the medicine box return to her?
In an instant, Zhou Yan and Li Ziyan's expressions changed when they looked at Li Jiaojiao!
Li Jiaojiao pretended to be calm. She was sure she could continue to make up stories and would be able to turn the situation around!
Su Luo, holding the medicine box, asked Li Jiaojiao with a smile, "Cousin, do you want to explain what's going on?"
