Jiang Luo couldn't figure it out.

She stroked the jade pendant around her neck. Could it be that her mother really had some unknown relationship with Xie Yuanqing, the second master of the Xie family, as Lu Jinan guessed?

If this is true, then who am I?

The room was so quiet that Rong Ping sensed the anger of the person in front of her and lowered her head in fear.

Nan Xing stood behind Jiang Luo, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

After a moment, Rong Ping heard a suppressed question from above her head: "When was the medicine administered?"

She trembled as she replied, "I gave you the medicine on the day my late wife gave birth to you..."

Jiang Luo couldn't bear it anymore.

She rushed forward with red eyes and grabbed the collar of Rong Ping's clothes: "How can you bear to attack a weak woman who just gave birth and is dying? Huh?"

Mother Cao in the next room was startled by the angry shouting.

That day she was bought by her new master and was locked up here.

In the first two days, she would ask the person who delivered the meals from time to time, but after being beaten, she no longer dared to ask questions or walk around randomly.

I have never heard a sound like that before.

Could it be that she fell into the hands of murderous and robbing dealers?

In another room, Rong Ping was forced to look at Jiang Luo.

She looked at the man in front of her who was as angry as a little beast, and cried, "Please spare my life, young lady. I...I was also forced by Qin. After the late Madam learned that she was pregnant, Qinghui Courtyard was guarded like an iron barrel by Madam Wu and others, and there was no way to do anything. Qin forced me to put the medicine into the ginseng soup during the chaos on the day of the late Madam's delivery..."

Ginseng soup.

In this world, whenever a woman is giving birth, the doctor will ask the family to prepare a large bowl of ginseng soup to save her life.

"Who is meeting you?" Jiang Luo asked, glaring at her.

Rongping was a little hesitant, she wanted to leave a way out for herself.

"Speak!" Nanxing's eyes were red, and he shouted sternly with the sword in his hand against Rongping's neck.

She didn't expect that a far-sighted helmsman like Wu Song, the eldest uncle of the Wu family, could not save his only sister.

Although she was a secret guard, she was used to seeing life and death, but killing a powerless person was what she despised the most.

What's more, she has been favored by the Wu family for so many years, how could she remain unmoved when seeing the Wu family being poisoned?

Rong Ping felt something sticky flowing down her neck. She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it and saw blood on it.

She immediately begged for mercy in fear: "Please spare my life, Miss... I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."

At this moment, she even forgot the word "slave", which shows that she was really scared.

Nan Xing then put away the sword and carefully wiped the blood off it with cotton cloth.

The lady said that this was the sword of the late Madam Curry and she couldn't let it get dirty.

"Mother Cao next door is still waiting for me. If you don't want to tell her... then give her the chance to live!" Jiang Luo loosened his hands suddenly after saying that, and Rong Ping fell to the ground.

She stood up, patted her wrinkled dress impatiently, and pretended to walk out the door.

As soon as she raised her foot, the hem of her skirt was grabbed by the person behind her: "It's Xiuxin, the second-class maidservant beside the late Madam. That day, the late Madam had a hemorrhage when she gave birth to you. Madam Wu was busy calling Madam by the bed. When Xiuxin passed by me with the ginseng soup, I poured the medicine into the soup."

"What medicine?" Jiang Luo asked gritting his teeth.

Rong Ping swallowed her saliva and said, "I don't know. Qin only gave me a packet of medicine and asked me to put it in the ginseng soup. After that, I had nothing to do."

Jiang Luo looked at her and saw that she didn't seem to be faking it: "Where's Xiuxin?"

Rong Ping dared not hide it anymore. She looked out the window as if she was disappointed. "She's already dead. Qin killed her a few days after she married into the Duke's Mansion."

Jiang Luo thought to herself: Just as she thought, Qin would never let them live.

"How do you know these things?" Jiang Luo continued to interrogate.

"Ever since I did that, I have been living in fear every day and dare not sleep soundly at night. In the middle of the night, I heard rustling sounds in the room, and then I saw Xiuxin taking a bag and walking out. I realized something was wrong, so I secretly followed her..."

As Rong Ping recalled the past, she clutched her clothes tightly with both hands, as if she was back to the fear she felt in the middle of the night.

"I followed Xiuxin all the way to the long-abandoned courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, and saw Qin and Madam Cao waiting for her there. I also saw with my own eyes how Madam Cao strangled Xiuxin to death with a rope, and the two of them worked together to throw her body into the abandoned well."

She stared with her eyes wide open and covered her chest: "I was afraid they would find me, so I had to run away quickly..."

Jiang Luo glanced at Rong Ping lying on the ground: "Have you finished explaining everything?"

Rong Ping nodded with hope in her eyes.

"You are only one step away from regaining your freedom." Jiang Luo said coldly.

Rong Ping's eyes sparkled when she heard this. She knelt down at Jiang Luo's feet again and said, "I will still ask for your instructions, Miss."

Jiang Luo walked away, leaving only two words: "Testify."

If you want to know whether what Rongping said is true or not, you will find out after returning to the Duke's Mansion.

Now she had something else to do.

Rong Ping behind him kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but Jiang Luo pretended not to know.

She harmed her mother and still wants to live. Does she really think she is a Bodhisattva?

Nanxing locked the begging Rongping into the door, and then followed her young lady to the room opposite.

At this time, Mother Cao was sitting there in a daze.

The voice begging for mercy from the other side made her tremble with fear. When she saw that the person coming was Jiang Luo, she was immediately startled: "Miss... Miss?"

How did the young lady know she was here?

Is it...

Jiang Luo sneered: "I bought you."

Upon hearing this, Mother Cao knelt down tactfully and said, "This servant greets the new master."

Ah……

I adapted really quickly. Old ginger is not only spicy, but also as slippery as a loach.

"Mother Cao, Xiuxin is behind you!" Jiang Luo said softly.

When Mother Cao heard this, her face turned pale. She turned her head sharply and looked behind her... Only then did she realize that she had been fooled.

"I don't understand what the young lady is talking about." Mother Cao lowered her head and tried her best to hide her guilty conscience.

In fact, the heart is as incredible as a raging storm.

Xiuxin. No one had mentioned this name to her for more than ten years. How did the young lady know it?

Jiang Luo did not ask any more questions, but just played with the purse in his hand and said casually: "There is a family named Lin in Guoyu Lane in the west of the city. The Lin family has a son named Wen, and his mother's surname is Cao."

In her previous life, she didn't even know that Lin Wen was Mother Cao's nephew, and that Mrs. Cao was actually Mother Cao's biological sister.

A few days ago, when she was free, she remembered that the beast Lin Wen must still be alive, so she thought of asking Nanxing to check it out in advance, just in case.

I never thought that this relationship would be discovered.

She was really deaf, blind and stupid in her previous life. She didn't know until her death that Qin had married her to the nephew of a slave...
