The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 166, Hongyao's betrayal

Hongyao kept repeating that sentence in her head, canceling her humble status, rewarding her with a thousand taels of silver, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.Liu Chengxu is dead, what can she do as a maid who has lost her body? Hongyao and Taoyao are in the same relationship, but she is sure that Taoyao will never fall in love with Daniel and elope with Daniel. She just lost her body, and besides, Taoyao was quite trusted by Liu Chengxu, so how could she sneak away with Daniel?
Hongyao went back to the house, lying on the bed thinking hard for a long time, trying to calm herself down.

Hongyao stood up excitedly, opened her closet, looked left and right, she was missing one piece of clothing.

Last night, Meng Lianyi didn't need her to wait on her, and went to bed early. Hong Yao only thought that she was tortured by Liu Chengxu, so she was not energetic, and she didn't suspect that Meng Lianyan was Meng Lianyi's sister. When Meng Lianyi first came, she was more than He said once that he was framed. If Liu Chengxu was dissatisfied with Meng Lianyan, then Meng Lianyi would hate it more.

The more Hongyao thought about it, the more frightened she became. When she was serving Meng Lianyi that night, she said calmly, "Auntie, Sister Taoyao was very reserved in the past. Who would have thought that she would do such things? The old lady put Taoyao It's a pity that my parents have sold all of them."

Meng Lianyi glanced at Hongyao, with a hint of warning in her eyes, and hummed lightly.

"Auntie, the young master has gone, so what should we do? Auntie Wan is sure to be fine, and there is still a son by her side, so we can just..." Hongyao hesitated to speak, "If the old lady is not happy, will she send me Are we all sold?"

"Hmph, are you scared now? What did you do?" Meng Lianyi was worried, and said in an annoyed manner. She had no sympathy for Hongyao. When he went out, Meng Lianyi would sell Hongyao to relieve her anger, " Don't worry, you and I are master and servant, and I will definitely take you with me."

Hong Yao wiped away her tears, and wept softly, "I don't know what the young master is thinking, but he just went to provoke Miss Meng. Well, why did he fall into an ambush?"

Meng Lianyi's heart skipped a beat, "Stop talking nonsense, that's fine, go down, you don't need to wait here."

Hongyao is now more certain that Liu Chengxu is likely to be tricked by Meng Lianyi's ears in all likelihood.

In the middle of the night, Hongyao secretly found Huawen, with a firm face, "Sister Huawen, can I...can I take a step to talk?"

Huawen glanced at Hongyao, and said calmly, "Just tell me if you have anything to do, I can't leave my post without permission."

Hongyao gritted her teeth, whispered a few words to Huawen, Huawen's face changed drastically.

"Is what you said true?"

Hongyao raised three fingers, "I'm telling the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood, otherwise there will be a thunderbolt, and I will die a bad death."

Huawen turned around and told the little maid, "Show me, you are not allowed to leave no matter who tells you, I will report back to the master!"

The little maid was trained by Huawen, named Shaoyao, although she is young, she is clever, she can see through a little bit, she nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, sister."

Huawen was about to leave, Hongyao grabbed Huawen, "Sister Huawen, take me with you, have you forgotten what Master Su said, I can't stay in this house anymore."

Huawen pondered, "Okay then, follow me."

Huawen was born as a dark guard, so it would not take much effort to take away a maid, and led Huawen all the way into a house.

"You wait here, I'll come as soon as I go." Huawen instructed.

Hong Yao nodded.

Ning Accord

"Miss, there was a letter from Huawen just now, there is news from Hongyao." Huazhu stepped into the room with one foot, with a happy expression on her face.

"How's Aunt Yi's preparations going?" Su Han turned to ask Qing Shu, her guess was really good, Meng Lianyi definitely has a problem.

"Everything is properly arranged, and the news is sealed." Qing Shu replied.

Su Han nodded, "That's good, there should be a result within three days." Turning to Huazhu, "Let's go, first go to where father is."

Su Sanye directly interrogated Hongyao and wrote down the crime. Hongyao even guessed and ignorant, and told the truth with half the truth.

"My lord, everything this slave girl said is true, and I dare not lie a little bit." Hong Yao kowtowed to Third Master Su, feeling anxious.

Third Master Su glanced at Hongyao, "Take her down first, let's go to the Liu Mansion to collect evidence tomorrow!"

Hongyao was taken down, Meng Lianyi always felt that something was wrong, she seemed to have overlooked something.

Hurry up to find the clothes hidden under the bed and destroy them. The clothes belonged to Hongyao, and they were accidentally torn that night. Keeping them is always a disaster, but there are always people outside the door, and Meng Lianyi is in a hurry.

Opening the door, she stretched out her head, "Where's Hongyao? Please call Hongyao, I'm not feeling well."

Meng Lianyi rubbed her forehead, looking pale.

Shaoyao bent her lips with a smile, "I'm sorry, if my aunt is not feeling well, let's bear with it for now, and wait until dawn. If my aunt really can't bear it, the servant will help my aunt to go there."

Meng Lianyi was choked, and her face was embarrassing, "No need, it's getting late, so don't bother everyone."

After finishing speaking, Meng Lianyi closed the door, thought and thought, and stuffed the clothes under the bed again, feeling restless all night.

Beside
Aunt Yi is in a particularly good mood these past few days, her face is flushed and moisturized, her food and clothing are no worse than those in the county prince's mansion, especially even the county prince will come over for a small gathering from time to time.

In a few days, even the king of the county will take her back to the mansion, and then the mansion of the king of the county will be in his own hands. Aunt Yi feels excited when she thinks about it.

"Auntie, it's not good." The servant girl ran in ugly.

Aunt Yi lay on the bed, frowning in displeasure, "What's the matter, you're so frizzy, do you have any rules?"

"Auntie, forgive me, this servant deserves to die." The servant girl knelt on the ground, lowered her head tightly, her body trembled, panting.

Aunt Yi waved her hand, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Auntie, there was one less person who went out that night." After the servant girl finished speaking, Auntie Yi suddenly opened her eyes, "What did you say?"

"Just now the guards said that a few people with high martial arts skills passed by that night and took one away."

Aunt Yi slammed the table, nearly fainted, and roared, "They're all a bunch of trash, they can't handle such a trivial matter."

The servant girl was trembling, not daring to raise her head, Aunt Yi tried hard to calm down, her mind was spinning fast, thinking about what to do.

Aunt Yi's eyes suddenly flashed an imperceptible sternness, "Go and find Granny Lian."

"Yes." The servant girl hurriedly got up and went to find Granny Lian.

Soon an old woman came in full of energy, her hair combed meticulously, and a gleam of light flashed by the corner of her eyes.

When Aunt Yi saw Granny Lian, her attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn. She was very humble and personally helped Granny Lian to sit on the collapsed chair.

"Mother-in-law, what should we do about this matter, in case we are found out..." Aunt Yi hesitated to speak, with a worried expression on her face.

Granny Lian squinted her eyes, and said calmly, "What's the rush? I just took one of them. If you have evidence, can you still stay here? Those hidden guards were trained by me, and they will never Don't worry if you confide half a word, maybe you are out of breath now, so what if you catch it."

Granny Lian wasn't worried at all. Hearing what she said, Aunt Yi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "Phew, that's good, so I can feel at ease."

"The most important thing right now is to move the place, just in case, where it is no longer safe."

Aunt Yi nodded, "Yes, don't worry, I will arrange it right away."

Granny Lian hummed, then took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and handed it to Aunt Yi, "This is Huagu Powder, just a little is enough to kill, just in case."

Aunt Yi shook her hand, took it slowly, her heart was beating violently, she had never heard of this kind of poison, and she used those hidden guards very well, so it was a pity to ruin it rashly.

Granny Lian saw through Aunt Yi's thoughts, and said in a slightly deep voice, "Don't lose the big because of small things, there will always be people, and it's nothing to sacrifice a few. I only blame them for not being good at learning and losing my face." ! This is a small punishment.”

Aunt Yi's heart beat even harder, and she said embarrassingly, "Yes."

"How is the situation in the Liu residence?" Granny Lian asked suddenly.

Aunt Yi shook her head, "I don't know for the time being, Yi'er can't spread the news, the servant girl is watching closely."

Granny Lian snorted, "That's because she's incompetent, without so many reasons, she can't even move a maid."

"Mother-in-law." Aunt Yi didn't dare to refute, she could only say good things for Meng Lianyi, "Now this matter is getting serious, Yi'er is always cautious, it would be bad if it aroused suspicion."

Granny Lian was silent for a while, squinted at Aunt Yi, and smiled.

willow house
Meng Lianyi was replaced by a maid, Hongyao made a mistake and was punished, Meng Lianyi didn't take it seriously, and it was time for breakfast.

It was delivered by a maid, and after Meng Lianyi took the breakfast, she suddenly felt that the maid looked familiar.

"Auntie, take it easy."

Meng Lianyi suddenly realized that this was the maid next to Aunt Yi, she took it with no expression on her face, and then closed the door.

Meng Lianyi couldn't wait to open the food box, revealing the exquisite snacks inside. She tore open one by one, and finally found a small note. Just as she was about to open it, a newly sent maid came in with the medicine.

"Auntie, this is a freshly made medicine, drink it while it's hot." Juhui carefully held the medicine, Meng Lianyi was startled, quickly put away the note, and suddenly glanced inside at the pattern outside the door , Meng Lianyi's face darkened.

"What kind of mess is this? How dare you fool me this time, and I will reward you for all of this."

Meng Lianyi was afraid of being spotted, so she pointed at Juhui, "Eat it all."

Juhui was stunned for a moment, took it unceremoniously, and ate it in two or three bites.

Suddenly, in less than a quarter of an hour, Juhui's face turned pale, and she clutched her neck tightly and desperately clasped her throat. In an instant, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes widened.

The food box was knocked over with a bang, Meng Lianyi was startled and jumped to the other side.

"Auntie...help me." Juhui reached out to grab Meng Lianyi's skirt, begging, "Help me."

Meng Lianyi gasped in fright and avoided Juhui's hand. After a while, Juhui looked very painful with white foam on her mouth.

It's a pastry, it's actually a pastry, Meng Lianyi stared at the pastry on the ground, her heart sank, who wanted to harm herself?

Blood was slowly dripping from the corner of Juhui's mouth, her face was reconciled, and she tossed and turned in pain. Within a moment, her outstretched hand fell heavily, and she lost her breath, but her eyes were fixed on Meng Lianyi.

"Ah! Help, help." Meng Lianyi suddenly screamed, and her tense heartstrings couldn't help but explode the next moment.

Huawen immediately pushed the door open and entered, glanced at Juhui on the ground, stretched out his hand to feel for the pulse, "This is a three-step fall, Shaoyao, quickly find someone to carry her out."

Shao Yao also had a dignified expression, she found a few maids and carried Juhui away.

Meng Lianyi hid on the bed in fright, still unable to calm down in her heart, she was only one step away, if it wasn't for the unfortunate coincidence that Juhui came, she would be the one who ate the cake.

Meng Lianyi couldn't help crying, Huawen glanced at Meng Lianyi, turned around and was about to leave, Meng Lianyi grabbed Huawen.

"Don't go, Master Su told you to watch me, just stay in this room."

Seeing that Huawen could name the medicine very accurately, Meng Lianyi was definitely not one to be idle. She was really scared. If anyone dared to poison her again, she would definitely die.

Huawen pulled back the corner of her clothes, "Don't worry, Aunt Meng, the servants will not go anywhere."

Only then did Meng Lianyi heave a sigh of relief, and she couldn't help crying under the blanket. She was exhausted physically and mentally this month, and her heart was even more tormented. She finally made it through, but she didn't expect that someone would kill her.

Meng Lianyi will never forget the tragic appearance of the maid when she was dying, and the meaningful eyes of the maid who delivered the food box, tightly surrounding her, making her almost suffocate and unable to breathe.

Meng Lianyi shook her head, no, Aunt Yi loved her so much, how could she have the heart to kill herself.

No, definitely not.

Meng Lianyi kept telling herself that this matter must have nothing to do with Aunt Yi.

After crying for a long time, Huawen comforted Meng Lianyi softly, "Don't worry, Aunt Meng, Lord Su will definitely investigate this matter."

Shao Yao also came in, "Sister Huawen, the other courtyard in the western suburbs is very lively, and they are giving away wedding candy and money. Unfortunately, I can't go. Hey, the maid has already been handed over to the adults."

Shao Yao pursed her lips unhappily, seemingly casually, with a harmless look on her face.

Speaking of not intending to listen, Meng Lianyi grabbed Shaoyao, and Shaoyao backed away as if startled, with her mouth pursed and about to cry.

"Where did you just say?"

Shao Yao frowned, "It hurts, Aunt Meng, please let go, it hurts so much, it's another courtyard in the western suburbs, I've heard about it too, I don't know the specifics,"

Shaoyao is very clever, she didn't say anything to death, and she wanted to hide it to make people suspicious. Meng Lianyi had just gone through some mental struggles, and it was the time when her feelings were the most vulnerable. Without psychological defense, she immediately decided that it was Aunt Yi who hurt her. Under the killer.

Meng Lianyi settled down, there is no mistress in the county palace now, according to the usual father's love for Aunt Yi, he will definitely help Aunt Yi.

And she was Aunt Yi's burden, Meng Lianyi pursed her lips tightly, lost in thought, still refused to believe this fact, Aunt Yi had given up on herself.

For her bright future, with Concubine Meng being favored by Prince Helian, it would not be difficult for Aunt Yi to be the princess of the county.

Huawen glanced at Shaoyao, and the two looked at each other, staggering from each other.

The next day, Meng Lianyi could often see the maid appearing in different ways, and Meng Lianyi screamed out of control, clutching Huawen's arm tightly.

Huawen kept comforting Meng Lianyi, "Maybe Auntie is wrong. The slaves have been watching, but they didn't see anyone who could appear."

Meng Lianyi had a false alarm, her nerves were tense, and she dared not relax.

Meng Lianyi asked the servant girl to taste all the food that was brought in, and Meng Lianyan was willing to eat it after repeated inspections.

At night, one after another flashed outside the window, and there were groans, so familiar that Meng Lianyi almost collapsed.

"Auntie, Hongyao ran to surrender." Huawen's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Meng Lianyi's eyes widened, "What did you say?"

Huawen repeated again, "Hongyao ran to surrender and identified Auntie, our master will be there in a while."

After Huawen finished speaking, Meng Lianyi had no time to react. With a bang, Third Master Su stood outside the door with an official authority and a cold face, and Hongyao stood beside him.

Hong Yao pointed at Meng Lianyi and shouted, "My lord, it's Aunt Meng who colluded with the bandits and killed Miss Meng and the young master."

After Hongyao finished speaking, she ran to find the clothes under the bed, "This clothes belonged to me, but I lost it later. That night, Aunt Meng ran out pretending to be me, deliberately guiding the young master to Miss Meng. Let's start, Aunt Meng hated Miss Meng to the bone, and it was Aunt Meng who instigated her."

Meng Lianyi was in a daze, not knowing how to react, staring at the shirt in Hongyao's hand in a daze.

"Come on, take Meng Lianyi away to me." Third Master Su ordered coldly.

"No, it's not me." Meng Lianyi suddenly realized, struggling desperately.
