And it looked like the two men had been kneeling there for a long time, and they were so weak that they were about to fall to the ground.
They squatted there for a while, and then saw the people below seeing that they were not kneeling properly, walked up, and stabbed their backs with the long silver needles in their hands. The two of them screamed "Ah" at the same time.
When Xiaobai heard the two people's shrill voices, his little body couldn't help but tremble. The voices sounded too scary.
The secret guard was fine, except that his brows were tightly furrowed. He had seen things more cruel than this, but he didn't expect that there was someone in the backyard who dared to do such an infuriating thing in his own yard.
And judging from the way those two people were dressed, they should be princesses in this mansion. I wonder how the Eighth Prince would deal with this matter if he knew about it.
It seems that this Eighth Prince really doesn't know how to discipline his wife. He can even make her suffer like this in his own house. No wonder the emperor is not confident in entrusting him with important tasks.
He can't even manage the affairs of his own house, so even if an important task is given to him, can he do it well?
At this moment, the Eighth Lady also came out of the house. She seemed to be in a good mood.
She walked in front of the two of them and even raised her hand to adjust her hair accessories.
"Don't think you're superior just because you've been favored for a few days. In this backyard, you're no different from a lowly servant. After what happened today, I hope you'll stay true to your duties and not covet things that don't belong to you. I don't need to explain what this thing is."
"Madame Lian, bring the things up." As soon as the Eighth Lady finished speaking, two people came forward carrying two bowls of medicine.
Then several maids came over and pulled them up from the ground. The two weak women were clamped by the maids and forced to open their mouths.
Then two people forced them to drink the medicine in the bowl.
No matter how reluctant the two were, the fact that their bodies were being restrained and the severe pain on their cheeks made it impossible for them to resist. They could only sob and drink the two bowls of extremely bitter medicine.
After watching them finish drinking the medicine, he made them kneel here for about half an incense stick of time before sending them both back to their own courtyard.
They were also ordered not to call in doctors or give them medicine for treatment.
When the secret guard on the roof and Little White Tiger saw this scene, they both thought that this woman was really terrifying.
The secret guards knew without going down to check that the two medicines were definitely not good medicines. They might even make women unable to get pregnant in the future.
After all, this kind of thing is most common in the backyards of wealthy families.
After watching the play, the man and the tiger started to busy themselves with their own business.
After all, they didn't come here to watch others punish someone else, they still have their own things to do.
The secret guard followed the little white tiger to the roof of the storehouse in the main courtyard of the Eighth Lady.
Xiaobai chopped it with his tiger claws, then howled softly at the secret guard.
The secret guard immediately understood what Xiaobai meant.
He lifted the tiles on the roof and took a look inside. It was filled with brocade cloth, pearl hairpins, jewelry and other precious things. He knew that this was a warehouse.
He couldn't help but sigh in amazement. He didn't expect that the Eighth Lady's family was quite wealthy.
"Xiaobai, do you mean that this pearl hairpin came from here?"
Xiaobai wouldn't bring him here for no reason, and he would specifically point to this place.
Xiaobai understood what he said and nodded at him.
That thing stayed in here the longest.
The secret guards had no idea that this was done by someone sent by the Eighth Concubine.
He originally thought that this matter was caused by a woman in the backyard of his master's mansion, but he didn't expect that the mastermind behind this matter was actually the Eighth Concubine. He just didn't know whether the Eighth Prince knew about it and whether he had intervened.
He had heard before that Concubine Wen and the Eighth Concubine had some conflicts, but he never expected that the Eighth Concubine would do such a vicious and immoral thing.
But I just saw that he could treat the people in his own house like this, so there is no need to say anything about others.
Now that they had found the person and knew who the culprit was, the secret guard took Xiaobai directly back to the Fourth Master's residence and explained the matter to his master.
On the way back, he even specifically inquired about the whereabouts of the nanny beside the Eighth Lady. Surprisingly, he actually found out something.
A few days ago, someone saw Nanny Lian, who was by the Eighth Concubine's side, leave the mansion alone at night, carrying a package and going somewhere unknown. That day happened to be the night when the Second and Third Princes sent the old lady home...
After they returned, the secret guards told the Fourth Master and Concubine Wen everything they had found, seen, and learned.
Neither of them expected that this was done by the Eighth Concubine.
Wen Mianmian's face turned ashen with anger. She initially thought that it was done by someone in the mansion, and the first person she suspected was Li. After all, in the backyard, Li was the one with whom she had the deepest conflict. At first, she also thought that it was done by Fu Jin.
But the eldest prince was also infected with smallpox, so she excluded the concubine first. After all, the concubine must know that Xuanxuan and Chenchen lived very close to the eldest prince.
If Xuanxuan and Chen Chen were infected with smallpox, there would be a high probability that the eldest prince would also be infected. I don't think the concubine would be so stupid as to do such a thing.
Unexpectedly, after Xiaobai went out to look for it, he actually found it in the Eighth Concubine's Mansion.
Thinking about the difficulties that the Eighth Lady had faced towards him before, and the disdain and contempt in her eyes, he knew that she was very likely to do such a thing.
Moreover, the secret guards also recorded what the Eighth Lady did to the princesses in her backyard when they were in the Eighth Master's mansion, which showed that the Eighth Lady was extremely vicious.
Moreover, she was extremely courageous. I heard that the two princesses were personally selected by Emperor Kangxi and sent to the Eighth Master's Mansion.
Now that he has been tormented into this state, I wonder how Emperor Kangxi would react if he knew.
But what he was thinking about now was not these things, but that this lady actually dared to extend her hand to him and even harm his own child, which Wen Mianmian could not tolerate.
Wen Mianmian would settle all the old and new accounts with her. This time, she dared to put something infected with smallpox near her child. Next time, she might send someone to assassinate her child.
She wastes air when she is alive and wastes land when she is dead. Wen Mianmian will not let her go easily.
She didn't want to make enemies with others, she just wanted to live her life peacefully, but others were unwilling to do so, so she couldn't be blamed for being cruel.
Good people are often bullied, and Wen Mianmian thinks she is not that kind of person.
