Chapter 117 I'm really surprised
Yun Zhai puffed up his cheeks in anger: "If that's the case, then it's all in vain."
"Do we still need to defend it?"
"Well, let's play the whole play, change people."
Yunzha said this and left through the back window with Ah Man.
In the second half of the night, the wind outside suddenly picked up, making the windows rattle. On the table by the window, a lantern covered the burning candle, and the candlelight shrouded the room in a hazy haze through the lampshade.
A very light sound of footsteps was heard, accompanied by the visitor's slightly rapid breathing due to nervousness.
When he approached the bed, he saw Lu Xiang, whose face was pale and eyes were closed.
The third young lady must have fainted suddenly because she was stung by a scorpion and poisoned, but Yunzha and the others concealed her illness and lied that it was an evil wind entering her body. She didn't believe it, so she had to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.
The visitor couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Lu Xiang was barely breathing.
Scorpion venom is extremely strong, and even if you don't die immediately, you won't survive for long.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, she turned and left with a sneer.
"You're leaving now? Without checking carefully whether I'm really close to death?" Suddenly, Lu Xiang's cold voice with a hint of laughter sounded in her ears, startling her so much that she turned back suddenly: "You really surprise me, Yuxiang..."
The person who came was not Hongyin, but Yuxiang.
"You..." Yu Xiang looked at Lu Xiang who sat up and sneered at her, and took a step back in shock: "Are you okay?"
Lu Xiang curled the corners of his lips in amusement, stood up and walked towards Yuxiang. His frosty face was filled with a terrifying aura, and the sharpness and indifference emanating from his body were like an invisible air pressure, pressing directly towards Yuxiang.
"Why? Disappointed?"
Yuxiang's heart skipped a beat, fear flashed across her eyes, and she turned and ran reflexively.
Lu Xiang ran out of the door and called out, "A'man."
Upon hearing this, Ah Man ran over quickly and saw a figure running out of the house at a glance. Without waiting to see who it was, she leaped up and kicked Yu Xiang to the ground.
Yunzha, Wuyue, Mujin and Hongyin all came over.
"Yu... Yuxiang... what happened?" Mu Jin was so shocked that she couldn't even finish her words. Although she didn't know what had happened, it was obvious that Yuxiang had done something to annoy the Third Miss.
Yunzha and Wuyue looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes.
Damn it, it turns out the traitor is not Hong Yin, but that bitch Yu Xiang.
He usually looks quiet and gentle, but unexpectedly he is the most vicious one.
"Bastard." Wu Yue rolled up his sleeves angrily, rushed over, grabbed Yu Xiang's hair, pulled it hard and then slapped her.
Yuxiang was slapped so hard that she saw stars and fell to the ground in embarrassment: "Miss San, what are you doing?"
ha! ?
Wu Yue was so angry that she laughed at Yu Xiang's shamelessness.
He was caught red-handed but still had the audacity to ask the lady what she was doing. His face must be as thick as a wall.
Lu Xiang stared at Yu Xiang with a cold look in his eyes, with an inexplicable chill in his eyes: "Bring her in."
"Ah Man, get the things ready."
"Yes." Ah Man glared at Yu Xiang fiercely, then ran away.
Yunzha and Wuyue each grabbed one side of Yuxiang and brought her into the house. Wuyue kicked her leg hard, and Yuxiang knelt on the ground in pain.
Mu Jin and Hong Yin looked at each other, and seeing that Lu Xiang did not stop them, they went into the house together.
"You acted very carefully. You obviously didn't know when I would come back, but you entered my room dressed like Hongyin. It would be best if no one found you, but if someone saw you, they would only think it was her from behind. You are very good at framing others. Was it Liu who asked you to release the poisonous scorpion in an attempt to poison me? It was you who leaked the news about the mine last time. But because Hongyin was dissatisfied with Ah Ah Man and often complained about him, people would think that she was dissatisfied with me and betrayed me, right?"
Yu Xiang looked at Lu Xiang blankly: "I don't understand what the Third Miss said. Hong Yin is resentful of Ah Man. How can I control her emotions?"
"You can't control her, but you can use her." Lu Xiang stared at her with his cold eyes. "I can understand selling information to Liu, but Lu Mingzhu offended Concubine Shu and was sent to Zhuangzi. My father doesn't want to see Liu anymore and she can't even protect herself. What can she give you that would make you willingly work for her?"
"I am innocent. I have nothing to do with Madam Liu."
Seeing her deny it, Lu Xiang was not angry. She had seen people who would not cry until they saw the coffin. "I hope you can always insist that you are innocent."
Hong Yin, who was standing by, was so angry that her whole body was shaking violently as she listened to Lu Xiang's analysis.
Yuxiang, Yuxiang...
It was in vain that she treated her and Mu Jin as real sisters and trusted them so much, but this bitch actually took advantage of her reckless character to do something harmful to others, and even tried to put all the blame on her after something happened.
"Why? I treat you sincerely, why do you want to frame me?" Hong Yin couldn't help it, she stepped forward and grabbed Yu Xiang's collar, roaring angrily.
Yuxiang was pulled by her clothes and forced to look up at Hongyin. Facing Hongyin's red eyes, she just sneered and didn't intend to answer. A dark look in her dark eyes kept flashing.
Why?
Just as Hongyin herself said, they were raised as first-class maids, but they were never valued after entering the Third Miss's Qixia Courtyard. She is beautiful and capable, so why should she waste her time here? If someone can give her a better way out, she naturally has to plan for herself.
Did the Third Miss mean that she was framing someone? As long as she refused to give in, she would be kicked out at most without evidence, and someone would save her.
“Hongyin…” Mujin looked at Yuxiang, who showed no remorse, with a look of pity on her face, and pulled the irritable Hongyin away: “She is not worthy, the Third Miss will not let her off easily.”
She had always been worried that Hongyin would go astray, and she never expected that it would be Yuxiang who would betray her in the end.
Ah Man came in holding a wooden barrel half a person's height. The barrel had a lid so you couldn't see what was inside. She put it down heavily beside Yu Xiang. Because she was close to him, Yu Xiang could clearly hear the rustling sound inside the barrel...
Mu Jin and Hong Yin looked at the barrel in confusion, and then they saw Ah Man lift the lid. Suddenly, the red hard-shelled scorpion in the barrel came into their sight. Mu Jin and Hong Yin gasped in fear...
Yuxiang's face suddenly turned pale. The wooden barrel was right next to her. The rustling sound of the scorpion crawling made her scalp tingle in her ears.
"Yuxiang, do you look familiar?" Lu Xiang sat on the chair, supporting his chin with one hand, looking at her with a smile.
Yuxiang swallowed her saliva with forced calmness, twisted her body away from the barrel, her eyes filled with fear.
"Miss Third...Miss Third, I don't...I don't know what you are talking about."
