The Second Aunt happened to be locked up in there. Although she had been wrongly accused and interrogated for less than three hours, the backyard had always been a place where the powerful were flattered and the weak were bullied.

In the past, the Second Aunt had the First Lady backing her up, so she was so rampant that she offended the women in the backyard. Now, the Second Aunt is in trouble and the First Lady is under house arrest. Naturally, those who harbored resentment towards the Second Aunt are eager to take revenge on her.

At this time, the Second Aunt's clothes were tattered and turned into strips of cloth that stuck to her body. There were bright red bloodstains on her skin and the wounds were still bleeding. Just before Luo Xuening came in, the Second Aunt had just been whipped by an aunt who had had a feud with her before.

Seeing the person coming, the second concubine raised her bloody lips slightly and snorted coldly. Her hair was disheveled at this time, and she looked very savage, but she had no intention of begging for mercy.

Luo Xuening thought to herself that the Second Aunt was much more courageous than the Third Aunt. Although the Second Aunt was just relying on the power of others to bully others, at least she would not say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.

"What are you doing here?"

At this time, Second Aunt's hands were tied behind her back and tied to the rope, so she couldn't move, but her eyes were full of vigilance.

"Let me talk to you."

'Don't you already have the answer?'

The Second Aunt knew what Luo Xuening wanted to talk about. After people have experienced difficulties, they can see the current situation more clearly.

In the past, the Second Aunt might have expected the First Madam to come and save her, but now, she no longer had any hope. In fact, this time, she was just taking the blame for the First Madam, and they were so happy that they didn't even have time to think about the Second Aunt.

As for Luo Xue Ning, she would never think that Luo Xue Ning was here to help her. She no longer held out any hope of clearing her name.

"Yes, there is an answer, but I want to hear it from you in person."

Luo Xue Ning's expression was still indifferent, and it was difficult to tell any emotional changes from her face. This made the Second Aunt a little angry, because she couldn't guess what Luo Xue Ning wanted to do.

"Don't look at me. If one day you can really see what's on my mind, then you'll be a god."

"......"

The Second Aunt gave up. She couldn't understand Luo Xue Ning's thoughts, but Luo Xue Ning saw through her instead. This was a huge loss of face for her.

"I want to hear from you who is the one who poisoned my aunt."

Luoxue concentrated her expression and spoke seriously. Her expression was still indifferent, but a little more solemn.

Second Aunt's heart skipped a beat. She opened her mouth and asked in a mysterious way, "Do you believe what I said?"

She didn't dare to expect Luo Xue Ning to believe her. After all, even Prime Minister Luo, who slept in the same bed with her, didn't believe her.

However, the second aunt urgently wanted someone to believe in her, because she still had a daughter and so much money that she hadn't spent, and she didn't want to be locked up in the woodshed all her life.

"I know you're not the murderer, but I need evidence."

Luo Xuening's "ha" dispelled the Second Aunt's concerns. Her eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.

"I have no evidence to prove that they were the ones who poisoned me."

"Who do you suspect?"

"It was the Madam, because the idea of ​​burning reeds was proposed by Luo Xueyao. Also, you said that the poison in Madam Ye came from the Western Regions. The Madam..."

When the Second Aunt spoke here, she suddenly paused and glanced to the left and right with a suspicious look. This erratic movement made Luo Xuening judge that the Second Aunt knew some inside story.

"What's wrong, Madam? If you don't tell me the truth, how can we work together to find the real murderer? How can I let you out?"

Luo Xue Ning caught the second aunt's urgent desire to go out. The second aunt's eyes turned, and she was considering whether to tell this secret to others.

Luo Xuening, is she trustworthy?

"You can believe me or not. Anyway, at this moment, we have only one goal, to deal with the Madam."

"You, you guessed it?"

The Second Aunt was a little surprised. It turned out that Luo Xue Ning knew everything. No wonder. Last time, Luo Xue Ning had caused the First Madam to suffer a great loss by her own efforts. Now she was still in confinement.

Luo Xuening, who had been low-key before, is now able to display her talents.

The Second Aunt felt that Luo Xuening would be a strong opponent of the First Lady in the future.

Since their goals are the same, why not abandon darkness and join the light?

The Second Aunt hated the First Madam in her heart. She actually dared to use her as a scapegoat. Did she really think that she was easy to bully? If she could get out, the first person she would have to deal with would be the First Madam.

Thinking about this, the second aunt had already made up her mind.

"Fourth Miss, the murderer is indeed the first lady. Although I don't have direct evidence, I heard that the one in the palace also used medicine from the Western Regions."

The one in the palace is the current Empress, the eldest lady’s elder sister.

"How did you know that?"

"It was in the past, about ten years ago. At that time, I was still working as a maid in the first lady's bedroom. I also learned this secret by accident when I overheard the two sisters talking."

"However, this secret is of great importance, so I dare not tell you. But this is absolutely true. Just don't tell anyone, otherwise, we will be in trouble."

The Second Aunt couldn't help but feel worried, as she hadn't established a trusting relationship with Luo Xuening yet. However, since they both got what they wanted, it didn't matter whether she believed him or not.

She sold a piece of information to Luo Xuening, who plotted against the eldest lady for her, thus achieving the best of both worlds.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Luo Xue Ning glanced at the Second Aunt. This Second Aunt had followed the First Madam for many years and must know a lot of the First Madam's secrets. Perhaps, she could be a good weapon that could trip up the First Madam in the future, so she had to keep it.

"I understand. I will take care of things outside for you. From now on, we will be allies."

Luo Xue Ning finished speaking and turned to leave, only to hear the voice of the Second Aunt: "Hey, Fourth Miss, when can I get out?"

"Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of you in three days at the least, or five days at the most. No one will dare to cause you any trouble."

It's not that Luo Xue Ning couldn't let the Second Aunt out now, but she had to leave her with no choice. The longer she was imprisoned, the more and faster her willpower would be depleted. In this way, she could better control the Second Aunt.

Moreover, since the second aunt dared to frame her aunt, if she didn't receive a lesson, she really thought that they, mother and daughter, were easy to bully.

Looking at Luo Xuening's indifferent back, Second Aunt's heart was gripped tightly. From now on, she would be tied to Luo Xuening in the same boat.

In the past, Luo Xue Ning and her daughter had no choice but to be bullied by him, but now, he had to rely on Luo Xue Ning's protection, otherwise, he would not be able to survive in this backyard.

The eldest lady is always thinking about sacrificing herself. Her husband despises her and her daughter is unreliable.

Alas, the second aunt sighed, she really was so sad.

After coming out of the woodshed and returning to the yard, Doctor Sai had already left. After Doctor Sai's treatment, Aunt Ye actually woke up from her coma.

"He is indeed a miracle doctor. His medical skills are truly amazing. Other doctors were helpless, but he woke up after just a few injections. It is truly miraculous."

Luo Xue Ning pushed open the door, and heard Prime Minister Luo say three "truths" in succession. It seemed that he was extremely satisfied with Doctor Sai's medical skills.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?"

At this time, Aunt Ye was half lying on the bed, and Prime Minister Luo was sitting beside the bed, holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand. He fed Aunt Ye one spoonful at a time with great patience.

This harmonious scene really hurt the eyes of Luo Xuening, a single woman.

"Yeah, I'm much better."

Aunt Ye turned around and smiled. Although her face was pale, she looked good and her smile was even warmer.

Luo Xuening was dazed for a moment. She always felt that Aunt Ye was not crazy at all. Who had ever seen a crazy person so calm and composed?

No, no, no, this is definitely not the look a madman should have. This is not the first time that Luo Xuening has had this kind of illusion. Last time, she remembered that Aunt Ye had the same feeling.

"Aunt, you?"

Luo Xue Ning slowly approached Aunt Ye. She admitted that she was anxious to know Aunt Ye's condition. However, Aunt Ye turned her head away and looked at Luo Xue Ning with a dazed look.

"Aunt, this time, let's take advantage of the miracle doctor being here and let him check your condition. Perhaps, your madness can be cured."

Luo Xue Ning seemed to be asking casually, but in fact, she had been observing Aunt Ye's expression carefully. Aunt Ye just twitched her eyebrows, and still acted harmless.

Instead, it was Prime Minister Luo who suddenly spilled a spoonful of chicken soup onto the quilt. He wiped it with a handkerchief in embarrassment, and the expression on his face was very unnatural.

Is this a deliberate pretense?

Luo Xuening nodded, having already made a judgment in her heart.
