The damselfly's cold eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and she asked in a hoarse voice: "You say, is this fair? Just because I am a lowly servant, do I deserve to suffer such a fate, while the people who abused me have not been punished at all?"

Everyone was silent.

The dragon lady is so stupid. The life of a servant is worthless to begin with, how can she compare with that of her master?

But the damselfly's experience is indeed pitiful.

Many servants sighed secretly when they thought of the injustices and grievances they had suffered.

"One night, my husband beat me so hard that I was unconscious for a long time before I woke up. He hugged me and cried, saying that he didn't want to beat me, but he couldn't control himself. He wanted to die immediately when he thought that the son he had raised for so many years was someone else's." Dou Niang recalled the past with deep eyes, "He mentioned death and it reminded me. Since he didn't want to live anymore, and I was still unwilling to die without taking revenge on the people who hurt me, then I might as well fulfill his wish and let him go first. After I have taken revenge, I will go down to find him, and then our family of three will be reunited."

Dou Niang wiped her eyes and her expression became stern. "So after he fell asleep, I strangled him with a hemp rope. Everyone in the town knows that we have been heartbroken for the past few days because of the loss of our son. In addition, my husband's parents have passed away long ago, and he has no close relatives. I just made up an excuse that he died of illness because he missed his son, and no one would doubt it. So, after taking care of my husband's funeral and mourning for him for three months, I sold my belongings and came to the capital. The adults already know what happened next."

"Although I already know how you entered the palace, I really want to know why you were so confident that you could enter the palace smoothly?"

Dou Niang smiled and said, "My stall is located on the road leading from the Bo's Mansion to the Treasure Pavilion. When I was a maid in the Bo's Mansion, I knew that the Bo's wife would go to the Treasure Pavilion every once in a while. She is also a dessert lover. I think a person's taste will not change easily. I make a living in Nanhe by making unparalleled desserts, so why should I worry that she will not be tempted!"

"So, it's no coincidence that when Madam Bo took her daughter to buy dessert, she encountered a bully who overturned your stall?"

"Yes, it is true that the bully bullied a helpless woman like me, but I usually paid the full amount of money honestly. I knew that the time had come that day, so I deliberately angered the bully. Sure enough, when the lady of the earl saw that my stall was smashed, she asked the maid to bring me to her and asked me if I was willing to come to the earl's house to be a cook." Dou Niang smiled and her eyes were amazingly bright. "Of course I am willing."

Zhen Shicheng sighed in his heart and stroked his beard: "Tell me about the plot to murder Madam Bo."

In order to seek revenge, he came to the capital alone and sold desserts for a living. He successfully waited until the lady of the baron voluntarily took the bait. His patience was truly astonishing. It turned out that men in the world looked down on women.

"After I entered the outer kitchen, I became a cook specializing in making desserts. It was not easy to sneak into the inner house while working in the outer kitchen, and it was even more difficult to kill Madam Bo. I could only wait patiently. Unexpectedly, even God helped me. Not long after, Madam Bo ordered the steward to transfer me to the small kitchen in the main courtyard. I was very careful and quickly figured out the terrain and the shift changes of the maids."

"So you did it?"

Dou Niang smiled and glanced at Yongchang Bo: "No, I didn't plan to act so quickly. Although the idea of ​​killing someone has been in my mind for a long time, the closer I get to the moment, the more worried I am about to fail. What prompted me to make up my mind was that I accidentally learned that Yongchang Bo suffered from sleepwalking. A person with sleepwalking will wake up and find that the person next to him is dead, and he can't tell who killed him. This is an opportunity given to me by God, how can I not seize it!"

Jiang Si had been listening carefully to Dou Niang's words. When he heard this, his head buzzed and he couldn't help but take a half step back. In an instant, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

A hand from behind supported her steadily.

Jiang Si looked back and was caught off guard by a pair of cold eyes.

The one who supported her was Xie Yinlou.

At this moment, Jiang seemed to have forgotten to distance herself from him, nor to say thank you. Her pretty face was pale and her eyelashes were trembling violently.

Xie Yinlou thought he was seeing things.

He had a vague memory of what Jiang Si was like in the past. Today, Jiang Si was so outstanding from the very beginning. She talked eloquently in front of the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, and it seemed that nothing could make her feel timid. But why did she look so fragile now?

Xie Yinlou was confused, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Jiang Si finally came to his senses, took a step back and distanced himself, and forced a smile: "I'm fine."

Of course she has something wrong!

After hearing the reason why Dou Niang decided to take action, she finally understood why the wife of the Earl of Yongchang was still alive and well in her previous life before her death, but was suddenly killed in this life.

In his previous life, Lord Yongchang's sleepwalking was not diagnosed now, but was discovered after he made the sleeping pig joke and invited a famous doctor. In other words, at this time in his previous life, Damiao had not yet made up his mind to take action.

Sometimes it is like this, a change of thought can make your life completely different.

She didn't know whether Dou Niang in her previous life finally took action, or whether she was discovered before she could take action. In short, for some reason she didn't know, Lady Yongchang escaped the disaster.

But in this life, she had kindly reminded Xie Qingyao, wanting her friend's father to avoid the joke of sleeping pigs, and also to prevent Xie Yinlou from losing the marriage that was being discussed. However, by mistake, she contributed to the death of the wife of the Earl of Yongchang.

When Jiang Si thought of this, he almost couldn't stand.

So, didn't the wife of the Earl of Yongchang die because of a few words from her?

Big drops of sweat rolled down the girl's smooth forehead, passed across her pale cheeks and disappeared into her bloodless lips.

"Did you get heatstroke?" Xie Yinlou asked in a low voice.

Jiang Si didn't dare to look into Xie Yinlou's eyes. He turned his head away and said, "It's okay."

Xie Yinlou's eyes dimmed, and he said calmly: "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest."

As he said this, he took the initiative to distance the two of them.

Dou Niang has already described the course of the murder: "I saw Chunfang put away her clothes and went out, and the lady went to the flower hall to eat, so I sneaked into the closet in the lady's bedroom and hid there, and lit a spell. I waited until dawn, then I came out of the closet and stabbed the lady to death with a candlestick. Haha, the lady bled a lot at the time, but it was a pity that the Earl of Yongchang was sleeping like a dead pig and didn't know anything. I stuffed the candlestick into his hands, took off my outermost clothes, wrapped them up, and quietly left."

Dou Niang looked at Chao Yun, who had a blank expression on his face. "My original plan was to frame Earl Yongchang and let him experience the pain of killing his wife with his own hands. But when I walked into the yard, I suddenly heard faint crying. I followed the sound of the crying and saw Chao Yun burning paper. I had an idea at that time. I might as well bury the bloody clothes there. It would be better if Earl Yongchang admitted to the crime of murdering his wife. If he found out that he was wrong, at least there would be a scapegoat..."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

This woman is so terrible.

"Anyway, I am already satisfied to be able to expose your scandal from many years ago in front of your two children and so many people, hehe——"

With an extremely ugly expression, Earl Yongchang finally spoke: "Can you tell me how I deceived you?"
