Chapter 41 Guilty
"What do you mean by that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke took out a sachet from his arms. At a glance, he knew what the girl was carrying.

Lu Lianzhi's eyes widened in surprise, and she stopped Li Ke when he was about to speak. After looking around and no one noticed, she said in a low voice and quickly: "Come back to the house with me and tell us in detail!"

In another courtyard, Dou Lianyi didn't know that she was being plotted secretly. She just felt a little uneasy, so she called Yuzhu to ask if anything happened when she was not in the prince's palace.

"Replying to the young lady, I heard from Xiao Liuzi that she didn't know what mistake the second lady had made. As soon as she came back, she was ordered by the young master to lock her in the yard and not allow her to come out."

Dou Lianyi pondered for a while, and had a hunch that this must have something to do with Qin Mu, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, Madam, there is one more thing," Yuzhu hesitated and said with some uncertainty: "The herbal sachet that you gave to the slave and Bai Zhi before was missing for some reason. I looked for it in many places. Can’t find it.”

"Where was it lost?"

"The slave took out the herbs inside to bask in the sun, and placed the sachet on the window sill in the slave's room. The sachet disappeared that night."

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, feeling a little weird.

She bought the sachet on the street, and the contents were just some common herbs to repel mosquitoes. How could she throw it away for no reason?

"My servant has also asked Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi has never seen it."

"Forget it, that sachet is not a valuable thing. When I have time tomorrow, I will buy a few more sachets and fill them with herbs for you."

Dou Lianyi didn't think about it in detail, but just comforted Yuzhu who was a little annoyed.

But then she thought about it and called Yuzhu back, who had gone far away, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Two days later, early in the morning, before the rooster crowed outside, the palace began to become noisy.

"Bai Zhi, what happened outside?"

Dou Lianyi hadn't fully woken up yet. She sat up sleepily and wanted to call Bai Zhi to ask.

After a while, Bai Zhi didn't respond to her, but the noise outside became louder and louder, which made Dou Lianyi feel a little uneasy.

She grabbed the clothes and put them on herself, then rolled her hair up casually, pinned a mahogany hairpin on her hair, then opened the door and walked out.

Unexpectedly, this almost startled Bai Zhi, who just ran back.

Bai Zhi looked panicked, pointed to the outside of the yard with a pale face, and stammered to Dou Lianyi: "Young madam, it's not good, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?"

"Old madam, the old madam has asked you to take you to Shou'an Hall for questioning!"

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned in confusion, "Ask for guilt?"

"The servant doesn't know..."

Before Bai Zhi could finish her words, several servants rushed in from outside the yard and headed towards Dou Lianyi without any explanation.

Seeing their aggressive look, Bai Zhi immediately stretched out her arms and stood in front of Dou Lianyi, preventing them from taking him away.

The servant standing at the front has a black mole under his right eye, and his facial features are pretty, but for some reason, his features always give people a sense of gloom.

He saluted Dou Lianyi and said in a hoarse voice, "Young madam, I'm sorry, but the old madam invites you!"

Dou Lianyi raised her eyebrows and glanced at this servant, knowing that this person was Li Ke.

"Is it the old lady's order," Dou Lianyi stared into Li Ke's eyes and asked word by word, "or is it my sister-in-law's order?"

Li Ke was startled for a moment, then looked Dou Lianyi up and down, and responded with a grin: "What the young lady said is naturally the old lady's order." After that, he waved his hand to let the people behind him The servant went up and took Dou Lianyi away.

However, Dou Lianyi sneered, glanced at the servants who were watching eagerly, and sneered.

"Haha, with such a big battle, it's hard to tell whether they are here to invite me or to suppress me."

"Young madam, please don't make it difficult for the little ones." A cold light flashed across Li Ke's eyes. Instead of taking a step back, he took a step forward and approached Bai Zhi. "Otherwise, don't blame the little ones. You're welcome."

Hearing this, the servants behind him also pressed forward, causing a faint pressure on Dou Lianyi.

"Young Madam, don't be afraid. As long as you are here, no one can take you away!"

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth hard and was determined not to take a step back.

"It's okay, I'll go and see what's going on."

Dou Lianyi patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder, then raised her chin slightly, signaling Li Ke to lead the way.

Seeing that Dou Lianyi was so obedient, Li Ke lowered his eyes and pressed his tongue with some displeasure. It was a pity that he could not be escorted to Shou'antang to relieve the second lady's anger.

"Young lady!"

Bai Zhi wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Li Ke. He smiled gloomily and said, "Miss Bai Zhi, please stop. The old lady said that we can only let the young lady go by herself."

"you!"

After everyone in the yard had retreated, a little man suddenly appeared on the outer wall of the yard and asked with concern to Bai Zhi, who was running around anxiously: "Sister Bai Zhi, why did I see my mother being taken away?" ?Where are they going?”

"Fu Qing, what should we do! They said out of nowhere that the young lady made a mistake, and the old lady asked someone to take the young lady to Shou'an Hall for interrogation!"

When Bai Zhi saw it was Fu Qing, she couldn't hide her uneasiness and spoke like a dumpling.

After finishing speaking, Bai Zhi realized that Fu Qing was just a child, and it would be useless even if she told him. She stamped her feet, turned around anxiously, and went to find Yuzhu to discuss a solution.

Seeing Bai Zhi's leaving figure, Fu Qing pursed his lips, jumped off the wall anxiously, and headed straight outside the county prince's mansion.

In this situation, the only choice is to ask Mr. Qin for help!
Shou An Tang.

"Mom, you must be aware of this. How could my sister-in-law do such a disgraceful thing? If outsiders find out, then our county and prince's palace will lose the face!"

Before walking in, Dou Lianyi heard Lu Lianzhi's complaint inside.

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, knowing that what happened this time must have something to do with Lu Lianzhi, but according to the memories left over from her previous life, she was honestly staying in the Prince's Mansion at this time.

"Madam, delaying time will not do anything."

At this moment, Li Ke sneered darkly from behind.

Dou Lianyi ignored him and walked into the back room with a calm face.

"What kind of wind is blowing today to bring you here, my sister-in-law?"

"Elder, sister-in-law..."

Lu Lianzhi, who was still chattering at first, suddenly seemed to be mute. She stopped talking and wanted to hide behind Lu Shangxuan.

However, Dou Lianyi would not let her get her wish easily.
