Mu Changyun frowned, feeling that the matter might not be simple. Just as he was about to speak, Li Xiao turned his head and gave him a warning look.

When Mu Changyun reached his mouth, he swallowed it silently.

"Why are you? What have you done?" someone asked.

"Everyone in the house should already know about Madam's unconsciousness. It was me who poisoned her."

"What..." Mu Changyun was so shocked that he couldn't help but speak out, but Li Xiao directly covered his mouth.

"What?" Another voice asked almost at the same time as Mu Changyun. There was shock and disbelief in the voice, which just happened to cover up the movement here.

"I was the one who poisoned Madam and made her unconscious. I'm here to receive the reward."

The maid sent by Aunt Liu to guard her seemed a little afraid to make the decision, so she quickly said: "Wait, I'll call Aunt Liu."

Aunt Liu heard the maid's report and came quickly.

"You said you were the one who poisoned me. What evidence is there? How did you poison me? Madam was poisoned early yesterday morning. Since you were the one who poisoned me and came here to seek reward, why did you come today?"

"

"There is evidence." Qingxue took out something wrapped several layers of oil paper from her sleeve and handed it to Aunt Liu: "This is the poison that the slave gave to the madam. This medicine is tasteless. The slave took advantage of the eldest lady and the madam to

During the meal, I put this powder into Madam's rice."

"After taking this medicine, it will take four or five hours for the onset of symptoms. Therefore, Madam took it at dinner and the onset of symptoms occurred last night."

"Yesterday, Ningqi Courtyard was very busy because of Madam's poisoning. I was afraid of being suspected, so I didn't leave. Just now, the eldest lady was called away by the Master. Later, the Master came with the imperial doctor to treat Madam, so I made an excuse to go to the hospital.

I am serving you by my side, and I will take this opportunity to ask for a reward."

Aunt Liu opened the oil paper and saw some white powder wrapped inside.

Aunt Liu put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and she was convinced: "You are quite courageous, so you are not afraid of being discovered? I remember that you just came to serve Mu Qingge, why did you do this?"

Qingxue bit her lip: "I was working for the housekeeper at first, and I felt quite at ease. The housekeeper also promised me that after two years, I would release the servant from the house to get married. But suddenly I was arranged to work with the eldest lady again.

After marrying my personal maid, my release from the mansion will be far away."

"The eldest lady has been getting close to Prince Ning recently. I'm really worried. The eldest lady may marry Prince Ning. My aunt should know what's going on with Prince Ning. I'm afraid."

"So I thought, I might as well take the risk and come to my aunt to ask for a reward. When I get the reward, I will escape from the house directly. Then I will find a more remote place and spend money to buy an ordinary citizenship and remove the slave status.

You can live a normal life."

Aunt Liu looked at the thing in her hand and suddenly laughed: "Interesting, that bitch Shen Weilan would never have thought that she would fall into the hands of a little maid, right?"

"Hahaha, great." Aunt Liu said, and handed the poison wrapped in oil paper back to Qingxue: "You take this thing, you are the one who gave the poison, so you can't hurt me."

After saying that, he took out a silver note from his sleeve: "Here, this is a five thousand tael silver note. When are you going to leave the house, I will ask someone to make arrangements for you. After you leave the house, you can find any bank.

Just exchange some money and leave the imperial city."

Qingxue bit her lip: "I want to leave tonight."

"Okay, tonight when it's ugly, you can go directly to the small door where servants in the mansion go to buy things. I'll ask someone to take you out of the mansion."

"Yes, thank you, auntie."

As soon as Qingxue finished speaking, the sound of clapping hands suddenly sounded in the bamboo forest.

"who?"

Aunt Liu subconsciously scolded her and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw Prince Ning and Mu Changyun walking through the bamboo forest, followed by Mu Qingge.

Mu Changyun's face looked very ugly.

Aunt Liu froze, her heart suddenly dropped, and she turned around quickly to leave.

"Why are you leaving? We listened to the whole story just now. It won't help if you leave now."

Aunt Liu's face was full of panic, how could this happen?

Didn't Mu Changyun treat Shen Weilan at Ningqiyuan? Aren't Mu Qingge and Prince Ning hanging out in the mansion?

Aunt Liu's mind was spinning rapidly, and she hurriedly said: "Master, this maid poisoned Madam, and also came to me to ask for reward for no reason. I want to stabilize her for the time being, and then catch her directly. She He also had poison on him, and all the witnesses and physical evidence were available..."

Qingxue only smiled, turned around, walked to Mu Qingge and stood next to her: "Miss, this is the silver note that Aunt Liu gave to this slave."

After Qingxue finished speaking, she took out the oil paper bag, dipped some white powder in it, and put it in her mouth: "This is not poison at all, just ordinary glutinous rice flour."

Mu Qingge took it: "Five thousand taels of silver, Aunt Liu is really generous."

Mu Changyun looked at Aunt Liu, then turned to look at Mu Qingge, with a rare confusion in his eyes: "What on earth is going on?"

But it was Prince Ning who answered his question: "All this has to start with the maid next to Mu Shangshu."

Mu Qingge nodded lightly: "I went to my father's place earlier. When he saw that I didn't have breakfast, he asked me to leave my brother to this maid next to you to take care of him. Later, Prince Ning came and I took Prince Ning to visit the garden in the mansion. , but suddenly heard a loud baby crying nearby."

"Now in the Mu Mansion, there is only one baby, my brother. Prince Ning's guards saw that my expression was wrong, so they followed the cry and found this maid. They saw this maid holding her brother in her arms and walking furtively in the bamboo forest outside the garden. In the corridor."

"After I asked, the maid said it was because her brother was crying. She thought he was hungry, so she took him to the wet nurse."

"I didn't think much about it, but Prince Ning pointed out a few things that were wrong with this maid. He said that this maid was sneaky and avoided us when she saw us in the garden. There must be something fishy."

When Prince Ning heard what Mu Qingge said, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes: "Yes, just like the eldest lady said, I am suspicious and decided to intervene in this matter and want to take this maid to be tortured."

"This maid finally told the truth out of sheer panic."

When the maid heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "I want to bring the young master to come to Aunt Liu to ask for a reward from Aunt Liu."

Mu Qingge nodded: "She also said that not long after Aunt Liu took over the internal affairs of the house, Aunt Liu set an unwritten rule. As long as there is a servant who plots to frame and humiliate my mother and me, she can take advantage of Aunt Liu." Here, depending on the situation, you will receive a large reward."

Prince Ning curled up his lips: "Miss Mu originally wanted to confront Aunt Liu, but I felt that it was groundless and based on this maid's one-sided words, there would be no results in the confrontation. So I

The king gave Miss Mu an idea and asked Miss Mu to send her maids to fish."
