The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 5
Xiao Ruan fixedly looked at Mu Xiang in front of him, did not speak, his watery eyes did not blink for a moment.

Mu Xiang lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her, the smile on her face was a bit stiff, but she still held on.From the bottom of her eyes, Xiao Ruan saw the obvious panic.

When they came to the old lady's room, Mrs. Yao had just finished her lunch break and was concentrating on reciting a Buddhist scripture at the desk.

Seeing Xiao Ruan coming, Yao put down the Buddhist scriptures and said with a smile: "Ruan'er is here, come quickly and let grandma have a look!"

With a smile on her face, Xiao Ruan walked slowly to Yao's side, saluting, "Greetings to grandma. In the morning, my granddaughter was ill, so she couldn't come to pay respects to grandma. I hope grandma will forgive me."

"Good boy," the old lady hastily pulled Xiao Ruan up: "Your body is just better, so I can skip all these vain rituals."

Only then did Xiao Ruan obediently sit down next to Yao Shi, and asked with concern: "The fire was quite big yesterday, is grandma alright?"

"It's okay, thanks to my Ruan'er desperately saving my grandmother, otherwise my old bones might be buried in the sea of ​​flames." Yao's heart still had lingering fears.She has not been able to calm down the fire that was so big last night. She can only recite the scriptures to meditate.

"Ruan'er, it's you who have been in a coma for so long, but where did you hurt?" Yao shi held Xiao Ruan's hand while talking, and carefully looked at her whole body, for fear that she would be hurt.

Xiao Ruan smiled mischievously, got up and turned around lightly: "Grandmother, I'm fine, don't you think it's hard for me to stand in front of you now. As long as grandma is fine, my granddaughter can rest assured."

Yao's face was a little pale, but her spirit was very hale and hearty. She nodded at the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "Isn't grandma right in front of you?"

Xiao Ruan stuck out her tongue, and brought the topic back to yesterday's fire: "Speaking of which, yesterday was thanks to my grandmother. If my grandmother didn't wake me up from my sleep, I'm afraid I would be burned to death in my sleep !” Speaking of this, she said with a wry smile, “That’s why I often say that grandma is Ruan’er’s lucky star. However, is it possible that grandma and I have a heart-to-heart connection? Why do you think of going to my yard at that time?”

Speaking of this, Yao's complexion obviously darkened, he glanced coldly at Mu Xiang who was standing beside him, turned around, and told Chen Xiang, "Come and tell."

"Yes." Chen Xiang made a salute, and replied: "This servant saw Mu Xiang whispering to a stranger by chance yesterday, and reported to the old lady. The old lady was worried, so she wanted to go and have a look in person. Who knows..."

Unexpectedly, after going there, he caught up with the fire.

Xiao Ruan raised her head to look at Mu Xiang, only to see that she buried her head so deeply that it was almost lowered to her chest, and Mu Xiang's body was trembling slightly.

"Mu Xiang, I ordered Lian Qiao to get the dinner yesterday, but you brought it back." Xiao Ruan stated the facts in a nonchalant manner, only to see Mu Xiang's body stiffen unconsciously .

"Miss, it's like this. Yesterday you asked Sister Lianqiao to go to the kitchen to get food, but at that time the servant saw that she was busy cleaning the courtyard, so she invited her to the kitchen to get food."

Mu Xiang spoke fluently, but her head was buried deeply, and there was a guilty conscience in her voice.

Xiao Ruan didn't look at Mu Xiang, but turned to Yao Shi and said softly, "After eating the food last night, I felt groggy and fell asleep early..."

She hesitated to speak, Yao Shi looked at everything in front of her, but understood very well.

"Mu Xiang," Yao's voice was majestic, "tell yourself, who did you meet yesterday, who was instigated by whom, and what did you add to Missy's meal?"

Mu Xiang bit her lips and refused to speak, but her hands shook violently.

"Mu Xiang, if you refuse to speak, then hold the red-hot coal fire in the palm of your hand and prove your innocence!"

According to what Yao said, Chen Xiang went to the kitchen to bring a charcoal fire, and Mu Xiang stood shivering in front of a pot full of red-hot charcoal fire.

Xiao Ruan watched coldly from the side, but did not speak.

She knew that urging her at this moment would only make her appear impetuous and vicious, not measured enough.

Yao looked coldly at Mu Xiang who was trembling all over, and didn't let go at all: "You are neither willing to tell the truth nor hold the charcoal, do you want the Xiao family to send you to the Yamen for interrogation?"

The fire happened strangely that day, it was related to the lives of Xiao's family, Yao's face became more ruthless.

Mu Xiang was trembling, her small face was already pale with fright, and tears were rolling in her eyes: "Old lady, I really don't have...no..."

Her lips were pale, opening and closing feebly, and she turned her eyes to Xiao Ruan for help: "Miss, please save this servant, this servant really did not intend to harm you..."

This is a bit too much.If Xiao Ruan doesn't help her, then he is vicious; but if Xiao Ruan helps her, then he doesn't know right from wrong!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruan bent his lips and smiled, and asked back: "If you didn't do anything wrong, how could you be guilty?"
