Hu Baitou didn't dare to raise his head, and just repeated what Xue Zhiyi had said.
"She asked you to put a piece of cloth in the Second Young Lady's room?" Xue Tingliu narrowed her eyes. "What kind of cloth?"
Hu Bai said, "I don't know either. The Third Miss only said to go get it from her in three days."
Speaking of this, Xue Tingliu thought of what Rong Ziying said to him that day.
Rong Ziying's miscarriage was also due to a piece of fabric. So, Xue Zhiyi wanted to put the blame for the miscarriage on Rouer?
That bitch thought the Xue family wasn't lively enough, so she tried to instigate Rong Ziying and use the investigation as an excuse to make trouble for Fu Rongxin. But when they really started to investigate, they found that the real evidence was with Rou'er.
And Xue Panrou had enough reasons to harm the baby in Rong Ziying's belly. After all, it was because of Rong Ziying that she was confined to her house again.
After all this trouble, Xue Zhiyi can reap the benefits without having to spend a single soldier... What a vicious woman.
Once again setting his gaze on Hu Bai, Xue Tingliu said, "Hu Bai, you should know that it's not difficult for me to take your life."
Hu Bai was frightened and buried his head even lower.
Xue Tingliu said, "Tell me, what can you do to atone for your sins?"
Hu Bai kowtowed relentlessly, crawling on his face, practically gritting his teeth as he said, "This servant believes that the Third Young Lady is framing the Second Young Lady with such evil intentions. Her crime is unforgivable. She should be... killed to prevent future trouble!"
After all, only when Xue Zhiyi dies, his secret will be returned to dust.
Looking down at him, Xue Tingliu said coldly, "You are quite decisive."
Thinking of something, he couldn't help but sneer: "However, you are right, Xue Zhiyi really deserves to die. This time, this time I want to let her have a taste of what it means to suffer the consequences of one's own actions."
…
Three days later, the moon was at the top of the mountain.
Su Yue carried a bag and went out from the side door of Jiangxuexuan.
Normally, they would pick up Hu Bai and bring him into the house from here.
Today, Hu Bai has not come yet, and for some reason, this is such a remote little door, which usually has almost no one passing through, but today, I suddenly saw a few people with lanterns coming here.
Su Yue felt something was wrong and turned around to open the door and run back.
But then someone on the other side shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"
In a panic, the bag in Su Yue's hand fell to the ground. Just as she was about to pick it up, it was stepped on by the people who came over.
More and more people gathered around, holding lanterns that gathered together to surround Su Yue and illuminate her so that she had nowhere to hide.
There were about ten people coming, and they all looked like maids and servants.
The leader shouted, "We got him!"
At this moment, these people tacitly made way.
A person was supported and walked slowly towards me. She looked thin and pale, but her face was full of cold anger.
It turned out to be Rong Ziying.
Su Yue was shocked and tried to snatch the bag away immediately.
But when the bundle was stepped on and pulled, a piece of cloth fell out from inside.
Rong Ziying said coldly: "Give it to me."
Su Yue still wanted to struggle, she shouted in panic: "Auntie Xiaorong... No! Auntie Xiaorong misunderstood!"
"It's nothing?" Rong Ziying asked her, then sneered and ordered again: "Bring it here."
The maid snatched the cloth and presented it to Rong Ziying.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief with one hand, and looked at it with disgust for a while with the other hand, only to find that it was a piece of pink gauze, exactly the same material as her pajamas, with a faint fragrance, which confirmed her guess.
The last time she asked the doctor to check, he found that someone had put the juice of radish flowers on the scraps of her pajamas, otherwise she would not have lost her unborn baby.
At that time, she felt that Xue Zhiyi told her this matter just to use her as a knife to make her speak up and investigate the matter in detail.
I thought Xue Zhiyi's target was Fu Rongxin, but unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi wanted to put the blame on Xue Panrou... He was really cunning.
If she really fell for Xue Zhiyi's trick, I'm afraid Xue Panrou would be unjustly killed this time.
It is true that she and Xue Tingliu did not have a good relationship, but she also knew that the people she should be most wary of were from the main wife. If Xue Zhiyi succeeded in framing her, not only would the main wife reap the benefits, but Xue Tingliu would not let her go either.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to inform Xue Tingliu about this matter in advance. Sure enough, as Xue Tingliu said, Xue Zhiyi would take action tonight.
Now that Xue Zhiyi's maid was caught holding a piece of cloth soaked in the juice of the lotus flower, that was irrefutable evidence. Not only would Xue Zhiyi's plan to frame others fail, but he would also be charged with poisoning and harming the descendants of the Xue family!
…
When Xue Zhiyi was called to the main hall of the Xue Mansion, the Xue couple and Rong Ziying were all there, and Xue Tingliu was also drinking tea there calmly. Fu Rongxin didn't know what was going on, so she just stood beside Fu Ling and observed quietly.
In the main hall, Su Yue was kneeling and crying.
Seeing this, Xue Zhiyi's face froze: "Father, Mother, what's going on?"
"What's wrong?" Xue Zhentong's face was terribly cold: "Kneel down quickly!"
The last time was also in the main hall, on the night Xue Runing died. She actually dared to be so disobedient and unfilial, and even dared to use the empress dowager to pressure him, making it impossible for him to deal with her easily.
This time, if the charges are proven true, the Queen Mother will no longer have any reason to protect such a traitor!
Looking around, Xue Zhiyi didn't kneel as instructed. Instead, he bowed silently and said, "I wonder what this girl Su Yue did wrong to make her parents so angry? Zhiyi will definitely discipline her."
Rong Ziying was extremely emotional, sobbing uncontrollably. "Sanniang, I've been thinking about how I've never done anything to offend you. From the first day I entered the Xue Mansion, we've always been polite to each other, without a single disagreement. I thought Sanniang accepted me, so why... did you want to harm my child like this? But what did Madam tell you?"
