The smile on He Huilan's face slowly froze. She lowered her head, stretched out her hand and poured a cup of tea. The water column with white smoke swirled and poured into the cup, and the crisp sound of water came out.

"I still don't understand what the second young lady of the Xiao family is talking about... Why was such a thing found on Jinxiu?" She raised her hand holding the teapot and placed it on the tray in the middle of the wooden table. After it was stable, she looked up at Jiang Yuanyi, "Don't you think... She must have been deceived to do such a stupid thing."

"You want to use Jinxiu's knife to frame me, you really have ulterior motives."

He Huilan said seriously, and the remaining tension and guilt had completely disappeared from her face.

Jiang Yuanyi chuckled: "Are you so sure that Jinxiu won't betray you?"

He Huilan said: "I'm innocent, what can she betray me?"

Innocent... Jiang Yuanyi laughed.

"Even if she confessed something," He Huilan drank a sip of tea, looked at the palace maids who came in with her remaining eyes, and said softly, "That's also a frame-up."

The palace maid whispered something in Jiang Yuanyi's ear.

...Liu Ruyan is dead.

Jiang Yuanyi frowned slightly, and couldn't tell what she felt for a moment.

She waved her hand lightly, and the palace maid slowly stepped aside.

Jiang Yuanyi exhaled slightly, looked at her, and spoke clearly: "He Huilan, do you really think you can't find out? Some things seem unrelated, but once a clue comes out, it makes sense."

He Huilan still pretended to be indifferent. The reason

why she likes to use this poison is that, on the one hand, this poison is rare and difficult to be detected by others, and on the other hand, He Huilan is jealous of other people's looks.

In her previous life, she kept Liu Ruyan alive because she had Jiang Yuanyi, who she was more jealous of, and wanted to use Liu Ruyan's knife to kill Jiang Yuanyi. But now, in the entire Chu Mansion, only Liu Ruyan competes with her for favor, and does not take her seriously. It is expected that He Huilan killed Liu Ruyan

. Yuhe has already sent people to the Chu Mansion.

The maid over there didn't know what happened yet, and told her the details of Liu Ruyan's tragic death.

It started from her face... It happened very suddenly without any signs...

The clues from both places are connected, and no one would believe that you, He Huilan, are not a suspect.

Jiang Yuanyi looked at her sharply, and said slowly: "Liu Ruyan was also poisoned to death by you with this poison."

He Huilan's face suddenly froze, and the fingertips holding the teacup pinched out white.

"Do you really think you can clear yourself of the relationship?" Jiang Yuanyi looked at her.

Obviously, she still underestimated He Huilan.

He Huilan took a sip of water and said with regret and grief: "Madam Liu died suddenly of a sudden illness. I am also very sad. We sent people to investigate but found nothing. It's a pity that she died at such a young age."

There was a soft knock on the door behind her. Jiang Yuanyi turned around and saw Yuhe standing outside the door. Her eyes were cold and she couldn't tell what she was asking Jinxiu about.

He Huilan was obviously also looking at her expression.

Jiang Yuanyi stood up and walked out. Several palace maids stayed inside and watched her. The guards closed the door gently.

Jiang Yuanyi walked towards Yuhe. The two walked away and went to the other side to discuss.

Jiang Yuanyi asked softly, "How are you?"

Yuhe shook her head, "She refused to tell me. She just kept crying and refused to admit that she was ordered to do so. When asked if she was acting on her own, she did not respond and just kept crying."

Jiang Yuanyi looked at the room where Jinxiu was.

Jinxiu was very pitiful. She was weak by nature and could not be called kind, but she was honest and dutiful. However, she followed a ruthless master. The reason why Jinxiu did not tell was very clear, that is, she would die whether she told or not, but if she did not tell, maybe her sister could still survive.

Jiang Yuanyi looked at Yuhe: "If Jinxiu testifies against He Huilan, can her relatives not be implicated?"

Yuhe: "Does He Huilan have her relatives? But I sent people to investigate and they said she is an orphan and has no brothers or sisters."

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head: "If there is no evidence, how dare He Huilan let Jinxiu help her do such an important thing, and how could Jinxiu not give her up until her death?" Jiang

Yuanyi turned and walked towards the room: "Come with me."

The door was gently pushed open, and the girl kneeling on the ground raised her head tremblingly, her face full of tears, and her eyes were red and swollen.

Jinxiu looked at Jiang Yuanyi tremblingly, her pale lips trembling.

Jiang Yuanyi walked to her side, half squatted, and looked into her panicked eyes.

"Miss Jiang... Miss Jiang..."

She called out tremblingly, and then she realized that she had called the wrong name, and the color on her face faded a little.

Jiang Yuanyi smiled: "You can call me Miss, after all, I'm still young."

Jinxiu looked at her in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Jiang Yuanyi got up and sat on the stool, looking at her: "This is not the first time that He Huilan has instructed you to do such a thing. Liu Ruyan from the Chu Mansion also instructed you to do it." Jinxiu

lowered her head, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly uncontrollably.

She has hurt many people.

When she was young, He Huilan's distant cousin came to Beijing. She had forgotten her name, but only remembered that she was pretty. The girl's father was just a small county magistrate, nothing compared to the He family, but she was spoiled by the whole family. She was lively and a little domineering, but also very likable.

She snatched a hairpin from the young lady. In front of others, the young lady smiled generously and said that she gave it to her cousin.

But behind her back, she pushed her into the water.

The water in early winter was freezing cold. The girl struggled in the water for a long time, and then gradually lost her voice.

The young lady pretended to be panicked and sad and rushed over, shouting loudly. That was the first time Jinxiu helped her do something bad.

She stood behind He Huilan with cold hands and feet and trembling, unable to say a word.

That was also the first time the young lady did something bad. Jinxiu looked at her. By the dim lake, Jinxiu saw the shining smile in her eyes and felt cold all over. Later, the cousin was rescued, but she was sick and never smiled so brightly again.

After that, He Huilan placed Jinxiu's only sister in a manor on the outskirts of the city. Later, the servants of the He Mansion changed several times, and gradually no one knew that Jinxiu had a sister. When she arrived at the Chu Mansion, no one knew about it.

He Huilan always knew her limits and always took action against people of low status. Except this time.

Jinxiu knew why.

The young lady has admired Mr. Chu for many years, and has been very happy every day since the moment of engagement.

But after she really married into the Chu family, she found that everything was different from what she imagined.

The aunt was cold to the young lady, and only pretended to love her in front of others. They were newly married, but rarely slept together.

One morning, Jinxiu brought hot water into the room to help her wash.

The aunt had already left.

He Huilan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, crying.

Jinxiu walked forward with a warm handkerchief in her hand, a little scared, and called softly: "Young lady..."

He Huilan looked at the top of the bed with empty eyes. It was still red, the red color she changed into when she got married. But that person, when sleeping with her, called out another woman's name...

He Huilan closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I hate it so much..."

Jinxiu knew the reason, and also knew why He Huilan would attack Jiang Yuanyi.

From the moment of poisoning, she thought of this ending.

It doesn't matter, she has harmed so many people, and it's time for retribution.

As long as her sister can live...

Jinxiu cried and didn't say a word.

Jiang Yuanyi lifted her chin and gently wiped away her tears with her fingertips: "Poor thing, following He Huilan."

Her movements were gentle, and Jinxiu raised her eyes tremblingly, and met that stunningly beautiful face, and those sparkling and moving eyes were filled with the purest pity.

"If the princess had not snatched the tea from my hand, your sister would still be alive. But the princess took the cup of tea, and if you admit the crime yourself, you will be implicated. Do you think that they will not find out that you have a biological sister?"

Jinxiu's eyes widened, looking at Jiang Yuanyi in disbelief.

"No... No...!"

She kept shaking her head and asked tremblingly:

"How do you know..."

In the previous life, Jiang Yuanyi was arranged by Chu Huan to live in a manor on the outskirts of the city for half a year. Jinxiu's sister looked very similar to her, and she had seen it in the middle of the night. Jinxiu secretly ran out to see her.

Jiang Yuanyi did not answer her question. He held her shoulders and said firmly, "If you confess the mastermind behind the incident, I can protect your sister from death and bring her to my house to take good care of her."

Big crystal tears fell from her eyes. Jinxiu's lips moved, and she raised her thin arms and tightly grasped Jiang Yuanyi's hands.

Jiang Yuanyi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Jinxiu's shoulders. She turned to look at Yuhe.

Yuhe nodded and called the commander and another person to record the confession.

Jiang Yuanyi touched her head and said, "Just tell the truth."

Jinxiu nodded, and when she saw Jiang Yuanyi turn around, she knelt down and kowtowed gently.

————

The silence outside was terrifying. The door was closed. Several palace maids stood by her side with solemn expressions.

He Huilan clenched her fists tightly, her heartbeat gradually speeding up.

What have we been talking about for so long...

Jinxiu wouldn't really give her away, would she? Her sister is still in her hands.

How dare she?

The light from outside suddenly poured in. He Huilan squinted her eyes, and in the residual light she saw Jiang Yuanyi's figure.

Jiang Yuanyi walked to her side and sat down calmly: "Jinxiu confessed."

He Huilan's eyes turned cold, and she didn't say anything.

Jiang Yuanyi said lightly: "I promised to keep her sister alive."

Boom!

There was a sudden explosion in He Huilan's head, and for a moment, all five senses were lost.

It was unknown how long it took for her to recover.

She turned her head stiffly and slowly looked at Jiang Yuanyi, her face pale: "How do you know she has a sister..."

Jinxiu and her sister had no household registration in Beijing. When her sister Jinyu was six years old, she was sent to a manor on the outskirts of the city and renamed Qiaoyu. She was the only person in the He Mansion who knew about their relationship, and no one in the Chu Mansion knew about it.

Jiang Yuanyi: "You confess, you can't escape."

That sentence was the sharpest knife, cutting through all her caution and disguise.

He Huilan's pupils suddenly widened, she raised her hand and grabbed Jiang Yuanyi's neck fiercely, "Witch! Witch! How could you know?! How is it possible?!"

The palace maids on the side hurried up to stop her.

Jiang Yuanyi gently raised her hand to stop them.

The palace maids stopped anxiously. Jiang Yuanyi grabbed He Huilan's hand, pulled her away effortlessly, and whispered to He Huilan with a faint smile: "So smart."

He Huilan was struck by lightning and froze in place.
