Even Madam Dowager and Mother Han were alarmed and hid behind the white banner. The middle-aged woman, who was walking to the door, looked at Ning Xueyan in astonishment. She raised her foot at the door and didn't know whether to put it down or take it back. She looked embarrassed!
"Are you going out at this time to find a way to save the two servants and make some false evidence and witnesses so that they can get away?" Ning Xueyan said coldly with a pale face.
Seeing the woman's guilty look, Madam Dowager, who was sitting in the seat of honor, was so angry that her face turned livid. She raised her hand and smashed the teacup in front of the middle-aged woman's feet.
The woman was so scared that she trembled and plopped down on her knees. She argued, "Fifth Young Lady, I just have a little urgent need to go to the toilet and I'm afraid of disturbing Madam Dowager. I'm not going to make any false evidence!"
"Even if you have an urgent need to go to the toilet, you shouldn't leave at this time. How can you be a servant of grandmother if you are so unruly?" Ning Xueyan glanced at her lightly and said.
Her words made Madam Dowager even angrier. She was the Madam Dowager of the Lord Protector's Manor, but the people around her were so unruly. How could she not be angry?
Moreover, she knew that this woman was a relative of Steward Lu. Steward Lu was the steward of the Inner Courtyard, Madam Ling's servant, and Madam Ling's most loyal dog.
Madam Dowager didn't think about it at first, but now she immediately understood that this woman was Madam Ling's servant. How could she not be angry when Madam Ling put her hands on her?
"Drag this dog of a slave down and give him twenty lashes!" Madam Dowager slammed her hand on the table. Her face was livid and gloomy, and she was more resentful towards Madam Ling.
Hearing the woman's panicked and frightened begging for mercy, and then looking at Qing Rui who was slapped in the corridor with a bloody face, Ning Xueyan smiled coldly. Madam Dowager's heart was pierced by a thorn this time. Although it didn't hurt too much now, the thorn would penetrate deep at the right time …
Fearing that Ning Xueyan couldn't bear it, Madam Dowager asked Ning Lingyun to guard Madam Ming's coffin and let Ning Xueyan rest in the wing room. Ning Lingyun was so angry that she secretly crushed her handkerchief, but she didn't dare to disobey Madam Dowager's order. She could only guard the mourning hall reluctantly.
Ning Xueyan's body was really too weak, so she didn't refuse. After eating a little lunch, she closed her eyes and leaned on the bed, thinking and resting.
"Madam Ling is resourceful and vicious. The reason why I was able to gain the upper hand this time was because I caught her off guard and caused her to suffer a great loss. When she comes to her senses, she will definitely not let me go. In terms of status, she can completely control me, so I should strike while the iron is hot and continuously attack her so that she won't be able to deal with me. "
No matter how he thought about it, there were still too few people he could trust! The information he could get was too little!
There was no way they could leak the fact that Madam Ming had poisonous incense on her. Tomorrow was the day of the funeral. If they didn't find a way to expose it, they wouldn't have another chance in the future!
Her fingers subconsciously touched her arm. The wound on her arm had already been treated and wrapped up. Her eyebrows involuntarily knitted together. There was no one she could use!
"Young Lady, are you okay?" Qingyu hurriedly ran in with a piece of Ning Xueyan's clothes in her hand. On the way here, she heard that something had happened in the mourning hall. Fearing that something had happened to Ning Xueyan, Qingyu was sweating profusely. As soon as she came in, she stared at Ning Xueyan from head to toe. When she found that Ning Xueyan looked peaceful, she was relieved.
"I'm fine. Why were you gone for so long?" Ning Xueyan asked casually. It didn't take that long to go from Madam Dowager's Auspicious Fortune Hall to Bright Frost Garden and then here.
"I came here a long time ago, but I met Lanning of Yunying Courtyard on the way. She asked me to ask if Young Lady still needs a servant girl. She's willing to come to our Bright Frost Garden even if it's a third-class servant girl sweeping the floor." Qingyu answered as she put the clothes in her hand on Ning Xueyan.
"Lan … Lanning?"
