Shen Ningning asked the secret guard to give the jailer five taels of broken silver.
"Go out and keep watch. I have a few words to ask her."
The jailer took the money and left with a lot of gratitude.
Two secret guards, one guarding the door of the cell and the other guarding the corner of the dungeon.
Shen Ningning took a step forward and asked, "Does it taste good?"
Madam Xie was in a daze for a moment when she heard such a soft question.
She slowly raised her head, her cloudy eyes looking over from behind the strands of hair.
"Ah——!" When Mrs. Xie saw it was Shen Ningning, she immediately backed away in fright. The bowl of rice soup she had just knocked over and spilled on the floor.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I've never done anything bad again. Princess, please forgive me, princess!" Mrs. Xie Er was so frightened that she cried.
She had long since dared not provoke Shen Ningning. If Xie Yuanjiu hadn't gone his own way, why would she have ended up in prison?
Seeing Mrs. Xie's miserable cry, the little guy felt helpless.
She just wanted to ask a few questions.
"I didn't mean to harm you, I just wanted to ask a few questions and you should answer them truthfully."
While Shen Ningning was talking, a mouse came out of the corner and chirped. It smelled the rice soup and ran over to lick it.
The little guy frowned and took a half step back.
Although Second Madam Xie was a little dazed, when she heard Shen Ningning wanted to ask questions, she nodded quickly: "I tell you everything I know!"
Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "Xie Yuanjiu comes to see you every now and then. In addition to giving you food, Eat, what else did I say to you?"
Mrs. Xie recalled, and suddenly she laughed stupidly, and the laughter seemed to be a bit sarcastic.
"She blamed me for not giving birth to her, haha - my daughter, who I have loved for eight or nine years, thinks I am a burden."
At the end of the sentence, she retched, spitting out brownish green water all over the floor.
Shen Ningning felt a little uncomfortable and looked away silently.
At this moment, she saw that the mouse that had just stolen the rice soup fell to the ground, its limbs twitching continuously!
The little guy's eyes widened: "The rice soup is poisonous!"
Madam Xie stopped retching and raised her panicked eyes.
The mouse shook its limbs desperately, and after a while, its tail became stiff. Mrs. Xie Er was frightened. After a while, the mouse seemed to have recovered and stumbled away.
He even lost his balance and accuracy and fell two steps after taking two steps.
This made Shen Ningning even more convinced that the rice soup was poisonous, but it did not kill the mice instantly. It must be a chronic poison.
She looked at Mrs. Xie Er with complicated eyes.
Mrs. Xie Er had already reacted. She hurriedly picked at her throat and cursed frantically -
"Bitch! Xie Yuanjiu, this bitch! How vicious, I am her mother - ugh..."
She spat out a Pile of burnt green stuff.
There was a foul smell in the air.
Shen Ningning covered her mouth and nose: "I think I can guess why she suddenly became so kind and came to bring you food."
"General Fang returned to Beijing, didn't you know? As long as you die, she can spread rumors. If you say that your death was caused by my second uncle, then everyone in the capital who knows about their old relationship will guess that your second uncle killed you in order to rekindle his old relationship with General Fang."
Mrs. Xie wiped the foam from her lips. It suddenly dawned on her: "What? Fang Qingdai...has returned to Beijing."
She burst into tears: "Then I have no hope of returning to Xie's Mansion. With her here, the second master will never even look at me. It's over, it's all over Yeah!"
Shen Ningning had a headache from crying.
The little guy said angrily: "Stop crying! If you cry again, you will lose your life."
Mrs. Xie Er was afraid of her, and when she was fierce, her crying stopped suddenly, she shrank, and she kept looking at Shen Ningning with uneasy eyes.
I saw the little guy taking out several foods one after another from his sleeves.
A bag of red bean buns, dry food cakes, and a water bladder filled with water.
She threw it to Mrs. Xie across the cage.
"Hide all this food, don't worry, it's not poisonous." Mrs. Xie Er said in panic: "Princess...Princess, why are you helping me? I hurt you before, and you don't hold any grudge?" Shen Ningning's face was round and white, and she was very
worried.
serious.
"Of course I hold a grudge, but you can't die now, otherwise, my second uncle's reputation will be ruined."
To put it bluntly, the little guy just can't let Xie Yuanjiu succeed!
Of course Mrs. Xie didn't want to die, so she hesitated for a moment, crawled over and collected and hid all the things Shen Ningning gave her.
Before she left, Shen Ningning said: "Next time she gives you food, you can't show anything strange. Just accept it as usual, but don't eat it, keep some evidence."
...
Recently, Shen Ningning sent someone to keep an eye on Xie Yuanjiu. However, on this day, the little guy unexpectedly had a conflict between Xie Yuanjiu and Liang Yici.
Beside the lotus pond in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Liang Yici confronted Xie Yuanjiu sternly.
"The leper's family all admitted that you gave them money and asked the old woman to harm me. Why did you do this? What grudge do I have against you?"
She pushed Xie Yuanjiu hard, and Xie Yuanjiu's figure shook. His face was pale and stained with tears.
Xie Yuanjiu didn't say anything, just cried and shook her head: "I didn't, no..."
There were many students gathered nearby, and no one knew whether they should stop him or not.
There were only discussions in private -
"I heard that Princess Rongshu was invited to the Yamen not long ago. Is it because of this incident?"
"Did Princess Rongshu misunderstand it? What reason does Xie Yuanjiu have to hurt her?"
"Tsk, what do you know? Princess Rong Shu is the daughter of General Fang, and Xie Yuanjiu is the daughter of Mrs. Xie. What is the relationship between their mothers? Of course these two daughters can't be dealt with
. " Ye Changyi, Lu Shaoyuan and Xu Jingxi stood among the students and watched the excitement.
The little guy glanced at Xu Jingxi calmly, but saw that his face was calm, but the hand hanging by his side had already been clenched into a fist.
Over there, Liang Yici was extremely angry, but Xie Yuanjiu couldn't punch a fart.
No matter what I say, I will just cry!
Liang Yici became anxious and pushed hard: "Explain clearly, otherwise, don't think about kindness today!"
Xie Yuanjiu didn't stand still, screamed, and fell backwards into the cold water.
Liang Yici was the first to react and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her. However, Xie Yuanjiu showed a faint and weird smile to her, and Liang Yici's hand froze in mid-air.
"Wow!"
The students screamed.
"Master! Master, come quickly! Princess Rongshu has pushed Miss Xie Si into the water!"
Master Han rushed over after hearing the news and was shocked. She hurriedly had the wet Xie Yuanjiu fished out.
The weather in early winter was so cold that Xie Yuanjiu was soaked and shivering.
Master Han hurriedly told the boy: "Quickly, help her and go to the Nuan Pavilion to change clothes."
Liang Yici came to her senses and rushed forward: "Master, she did it on purpose, she wanted to frame me! Thank you, please don't leave, please make it clear. !"
Master Han pushed her hand back: "That's enough!"
Everyone was silent when they saw Master Han was angry.
Master Han looked at Liang Yici with disappointment: "Princess, what the school needs is harmony, how can you be so domineering and arrogant! No matter what the reason is, you should not push people into the water."
"You! What Master, you are so indiscriminate, I said it was her who slandered me, and I had no intention of pushing her into the water." Liang Yici was extremely angry.
She looked at the students around her: "Which one of you is willing to testify for me?"
However, what everyone saw was Xie Yuanjiu crying, while Liang Yici pushed him away arrogantly.
Who can testify for her? Everyone was quiet, you looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.
Liang Yici felt extremely wronged.
Her eyes were red, and she tried not to cry in front of outsiders.
"I hate Beijing. All of you are sanctimonious and hypocritical people!" With that said, she turned around and left quickly.
Master Han asked everyone to disperse with a livid face, and he went to chase Princess Rongshu himself. Otherwise, if he let the child run away from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, something would happen.
Everyone dispersed like birds and animals.
Lu Shaoyuan walked beside Shen Ningning and sighed: "This Princess Rongshu grew up on the border and is used to seeing careless military camps. She never thought that people's hearts can be so unpredictable and dark, right?"
Ye Changyi snorted: "Thank you for your support." The trick is like this every time, forcing others to be angry, and then pretending to be innocent."
Xu Jingxi looked at Shen Ningning: "Why didn't you stand up and help her just now?"
The little guy licked the candy man in his hand, his eyes dark. .
"Why should I help her? She doesn't appreciate it and thinks I'm nosy."
"Let me tell you another secret. My secret guard told me that Xie Yuanjiu will send someone to set fire to the leper's house tonight."
"Because. , She was sure that Liang Yici would go to Lezi again today and ask him to come forward to accuse Xie Yuanjiu of what he had done. "
It's a coincidence that when the fire started, Liang Yici would not be able to argue. Oh my, I can't. I can't control it, no one cares anyway."
With that said, Shen Ningning, Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan walked away with smiles.
The little guy looked back calmly and saw Xu Jingxi stunned in place, his handsome face slightly lowered, as if covered with a layer of frost and snow.
Shen Ningning smiled with pink lips and looked away.
