354: The truth comes one after another

Xiqi was a thin and somewhat shriveled little girl with yellow hair and a pale face. She took a step forward with her head slightly lowered and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Su Zhi looked at Xiqi. She knew this little maid because she usually stayed at the Zhao family to work. She was rarely seen outside. Every time she was seen, she followed the Zhao family obediently. She looked honest. Because she could be said to be the first batch of little maids to appear in the rural area of ​​Hebian Village, Su Zhi still noticed her. Later, she was more impressed by her because Li Shi and Liu Siniang told them that when the Zhao family wanted to buy the land of several families nearby, it was Xiqi who came to inform them. Su Zhi knew that although this little maid seemed timid, she dared to do what she wanted to do, which was very unusual.

Is this little maid going to cheat the Zhao family again today?

When the Zhao family saw Qian Guang call Xiqi out and asked Xiqi to testify for him, they all looked at Xiqi.

Zhao Xiaohua shouted, "Xiqi! I have been very kind to you. Are you trying to harm me now?"

Old Lady Li also yelled, "You damned girl! Did I yell at you a few times before and you're holding a grudge against me? If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off and sell you to that filthy place!"

Qian Guang said: "Xiqi, just tell the truth, she can't do anything to you!"

The joy subsided, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the Zhao family, then raised her head and said: "Old lady, master, madam, young lady, although you are not good to me, I am the maid you bought. I should not betray my master, although I can't bear to see the young lady hurting others, but if the old lady hadn't wanted to give me to that Mao Xiaoer as a child bride, I wouldn't care what the young lady did. I don't want to be the wife of that Mao Xiaoer, he is a fool, he will hit people with stones, and he will pinch me, I don't want to..."

Xiqi cried, her back trembling like a bean sprout. The head of the village and others felt pity for her. She was still a child, but now she was not only a slave, but she was also being married to a silly boy. How pitiful!

Mao Laoliu had two sons. The eldest was Mao Laizi, and the younger was a fool. He was sometimes good and sometimes bad. When he was bad, he would beat people up, grabbing anything he could find, and beating people without mercy. There were children in the village who were injured by him, and Xiqi was also beaten by him, and his leg was broken for several days.

Shen Zhu smiled and said, "Auntie Li, you have a really good relationship with the Mao family. This little girl is worth some money, right? Are you willing to let her be a child bride to the Mao family?"

Old Lady Li snorted, "We are related. Why don't you let me help you?"

"We should help him. After all, he has helped you a lot." Shen Zhu said with a smile, looking at Zhao Xiaohua and Mao Laizi with some ridicule, "But now the eldest son and the young lady are a couple. If the youngest son and the maid become a couple, then they will become sisters-in-law, which is not good for Xiaohua."

Zhao Xiaohua stared at Shen Zhu. She pouted and said, "Shut up! Who is a couple with that bastard? If you want to make it, just go get married!"

Mao Laizi said, "Xiaohua, you are mine now. If you don't marry me, who will you marry? You really want to marry Master Qian, but he won't want you. You have schemed against him. It's good enough that he doesn't come after you."

"Shut up! You dirty bastard!" Zhao Xiaohua wanted to rush over and beat Mao Laizi to death. She felt disgusted when she looked at his smiling face. She didn't want to spend her life with such a man!

Mao Laizi rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "I am a dirty bastard, but no matter how dirty I am, I never drugged anyone. If I hadn't drunk the tea you drugged, I wouldn't be scolded by you here. You're the one who made me dirty. Now that my reputation has been ruined by you, if you don't marry me, I'll sue you! Let's see who will be embarrassed then!"

Zhao Xiaohua was so angry that she almost passed out when she heard this.

Old Lady Li coughed and looked at Mao Laoliu who had been silent. Mao Laoliu scolded his son.

Li was standing aside, frowning and saying, "Xiqi, go on."

The lady said happily, "Today, my young lady and I went out for a walk and saw Mr. Qian. My young lady invited Mr. Qian to our house for tea. Mr. Qian didn't want to come at first, but my young lady said that Mr. Qian had saved her and she refused to let him go. So Mr. Qian came into the house. I saw my young lady put something in the tea. Later, when my young lady was not around, I quietly told Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian had just left when Mr. Mao arrived."

Zhao Xiaohua stared at Xi Xi and asked angrily, "You little bitch! You saw this scumbag coming in, but you didn't stop him from drinking the tea. You did this because you hated us for marrying you to a fool, right?!"

He shook his head in joy and said, "I didn't! It was Master Mao who didn't let me in. He said he had something to tell you and didn't want me to disturb him."

Jinhua's mother was listening at the side and said, "Zhao Xiaohua, you just said that you were not happy to let Mao Laizi drink the tea. By saying those words, you admitted that you knew there was something in the tea! You were the one who put the drug in the tea, right? You really have no shame!"

Zhao Xiaohua was shocked to realize that she had slipped her tongue, and hurriedly said, "I didn't admit it. I meant to say that this little bitch must have seen Young Master Qian put drugs in the tea, and then when she saw the scoundrel coming, she threatened Young Master Qian to leave, and let the scoundrel stay! That's what I meant."

Su Zhi thought that Zhao Xiaohua was also a smart person. At this time, she could still react so quickly. If she was not unlucky, if she really entered the Qian family, maybe she could really live the life she wanted. Unfortunately, she was destined to have no intersection with the Qian family. Qian Guang would never want a cunning and unfaithful woman like her.

Old Lady Li also said, "My daughter is a girl, how could she have such dirty medicine? She definitely didn't put it in the tea. Mr. Qian, if you like my little flower, you should just say it. Why do you have to do this? Do you want to just eat clean and leave? You are not that kind of people in the Qian family!"

Qian Guang's face darkened. What kind of person did this old woman describe him as?

Everyone who was listening felt that Mrs. Li was talking nonsense. Qian Guang had always had a good reputation and was always polite to women. If they said that he specifically went to other people's homes to drug them and humiliate their daughters, no one would believe it.

Xiqi said at the side: "This medicine does not belong to Mr. Qian, but to Miss. Miss threw the paper containing the medicine on the floor in the back kitchen."

When Zhao Xiaohua heard this, she glared at Xiqi angrily. She took the tea from Xiqi and put it away outside, then threw away the paper wrapping the medicine. She didn't expect that this damn girl saw it. If there was medicine powder left in the paper, she would have nothing to say!

The village head said something to Li Sheng, and he immediately asked Xiqi to stand up and take him to find the paper with the medicine. Xiqi stood up. She had no way out now. She had to make sure that Mr. Qian was fine, so that she would be fine. She had to leave here, otherwise the Zhao family would not forgive her. And she had wanted to leave a long time ago. She didn't want to be a child bride for Mao Xiaoer.

The paper that contained the medicine was quickly found, and sure enough, because Zhao Xiaomei poured the medicine out too hastily, some medicine powder was still inside.

The head of the village asked someone to invite Doctor Huang to come and have him examine it carefully. Doctor Huang was also outside today and came in as soon as he was called. He looked at it carefully and smelled it, nodded, and confirmed that it was an aphrodisiac.

Zhao Xiaohua wanted to refute, saying that Xiqi got the medicine wrapping paper from Qian Guang and threw it there. She glared at Xiqi fiercely.

Xiqi was frightened by Zhao Xiaohua's stare. She became anxious and knelt down again. She kowtowed to Zhang Qingniang and said, "Madam, I'm sorry. I just wanted to leave and didn't want more scandals in this family to be known to others, but I have to say it today. I have to say it!" Then she turned to Shen Zhu and said, "Miss Shen, you once participated in the election to be the Queen of Rain, right? Were you sick that time? It was the Zhao family who drugged you that time! They even have that medicine, so how can it be impossible for them to drug Mr. Qian?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except the Zhao family was surprised and started to talk about it. The eyes of the people looking at the Zhao family changed, thinking that this family would actually do such a thing? Could they do this to Lady Yu?

"Great! No wonder God didn't send rain, no wonder the Rain Goddess didn't show up. So there's something like this going on! What a good thing your family has done!"

Jinhua's mother scolded loudly. The Hebian Village asked people to choose the Rain Goddess. Shen Zhu fell ill and couldn't get on the float. Zhao Xiaohua fell off the float. Finally, there was a severe drought. Many people from other villages blamed Hebian Village, thinking that their village's Rain Goddess was not chosen well. The head of the village was very ashamed. As the wife of the head of the village, Jinhua's mother was also ashamed. How could she not hate the Zhao family!

The governor slammed the table angrily, swept the teacup on the table and threw it in front of Zhao Xiaohua, scaring her and making her scream.

Shen Zhu was even angrier. If she hadn't wanted to maintain her ladylike demeanor, she would have wanted to slap Zhao Xiaohua twice. She had always suspected that there was something wrong with her illness, and it turned out to be true! Thinking of the honor she had missed, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. If she had become Lady Rain, she might have been favored by Qian Guang, and she might have been the young lady of the Qian family now!

"At first, we said that Mao Laoliu was the suspect, but you still refused to admit it! Now the truth is out! You must have given Xiqi to Mao Xiaoer as his wife because Mao Laoliu helped you so much, and that's why Xiqi heard about it. This is really a case of God watching over you. You are done this time!"
