Yes, I was fine when I left Chunhuayuan last night. If I hadn’t bumped into something, how could I have become like this for no reason.

Qin hurriedly hugged Jiang Yin and said, "Yes, your aunt's worry is not unreasonable. Did you touch anything?"

After she finished speaking, she thought of what Danyu had reported yesterday.

Could it be that mother and daughter who did it?

But that's not right.

She was clearly leading him to Jiang Luo.

How did Jiang Nian find it on Yin'er?

It's not that she is too arrogant, but Aunt Liu wouldn't dare to do that either.

Jiang Yin lowered her eyes and thought about it.

After she came back from Chunhuayuan yesterday, she washed, changed her clothes and went to bed as usual. There was nothing wrong with it.

She could only shake her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I didn't touch anything. Everything is the same from yesterday to today."

Qin Ying'er at the side interrupted and said, "Aunt, why don't you first question the maidservant next to sister Yin'er?"

Qin was so busy feeling sorry for Jiang Yin that she nodded when she heard her words.

After a moment, Zi Fu followed Qin Ying'er into the inner room.

Before Qin could speak, she knelt on the ground with a plop.

Qin hugged the crying Jiang Yin, looked at Zi Fu with sharp eyes, and asked: "Let me ask you, has Yin'er eaten or touched anything unusual since she came back from Chunhua Courtyard?"

Zi Fu knew that this was not the time to be clever in front of the lady.

She knelt there and thought again and again, but she couldn't figure out when her young lady had ever eaten or touched anything unusual.

She could only stare at Qin's sharp gaze and replied with a little trembling: "To answer Madam's question, from yesterday to today, I have not found anything unusual around the young lady."

"Madam, I am Chanyi, the head maidservant of the Third Young Lady. I would like to see you, Madam." Chanyi's weak voice came from outside the door.

Zi Fu was startled, and the uneasy feeling became even stronger.

What's the purpose of this little guy coming here at this time?

Qin frowned when she heard this and ordered, "Danyu, go and bring the person over."

"Yes, madam." After a while, Danyu came in with Chanyi, who was supported by two maids.

Chan Yi's injury was just beginning to heal, and it was not appropriate for her to move around at this time, but she couldn't care less.

As long as she can gain the trust of the Third Miss, return to her side and defeat Zi Fu, she doesn't care what she does.

"I greet the madam and the young lady. I greet my aunt and my cousin." Chan Yi knelt beside Zi Fu, enduring the pain.

Jiang Yin buried her face in Qin's arms and kept sobbing.

Qin gently stroked her back, and looked at Chan Yi with a fierce look, saying, "If you say something useless, don't blame me for taking your life today."

Zhou and Qin Ying'er were stunned when they heard this.

They had never seen Qin behave so miserably before.

Zi Fu, who was kneeling beside him, had a hint of sarcasm in her drooping eyes.

Don’t you see what time it is?

He actually bumped into the lady's angry head.

Chan Yi, oh Chan Yi, you were almost beaten to death, but you still haven't made any progress.

She just listened carefully to see what important things this little girl could say.

Chan Yi lowered her head and said slowly, "This morning, I have been waiting until now but have not seen the maid who brought breakfast, so I ventured out of the woodshed to ask what happened. Unexpectedly, I heard the sound of smashing and destroying things in the main room, so I went forward to take a look out of curiosity."

Then she said, "At this time, I heard the little maid say that there seemed to be something wrong with the young lady's face. So I asked her if she had bought or used anything yesterday."

She took a breath and said, "The maid said that an empty bottle of daily perfume was thrown into the young lady's room last night. Madam, please take a look and see if there is something wrong with the perfume that the young lady uses to put on her face."

Zi Fu paused, then immediately knelt down on the ground with a pale face.

How could she forget this?

Yes, the scented skin cream that the lady used daily was gone yesterday, and she searched through all the drawers and cabinets but couldn’t find it.

Normally, Chan Yi was the one who did these chores. Now that Chan Yi was locked up in the woodshed, it was inevitable that she would be a little negligent as she had to do so many things by herself.

It was her negligence that she did not prepare the scented skin cream in advance.

The Third Miss was moody and a small oversight could easily cause her to fall from her position as the head maid.

Just when she was getting extremely anxious, she saw a can in the wedding box sent by the second young lady.

It was exactly the same as the one the young lady used daily. She even smelled it carefully and found no difference.

She took it and gave it to the dozing lady and applied it on her face.

Could it be that the problem is with that bottle of facial cream?

Thinking of this, Zi Fu broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Yin, who was buried in Qin's arms, was also stunned.

She raised her head, glared at Zi Fu and asked, "What did you apply on me last night?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room focused their attention on Zi Fu.

Noticing the gazes of several people, Zi Fu became even more uneasy.

She stammered, "I...I applied the scented skin cream you usually use."

Qin Shi noticed her abnormality and narrowed her eyes as she ordered, "Danyu."

Danyu understood, walked up and slapped Zi Fu in the face, causing her face to tilt to the side.

Qin said fiercely again: "Hurry up and tell me."

Zi Fu no longer dared to hide the truth at this time.

She kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, Madam... I didn't do anything. Yesterday, when the young lady came back from Chunhua Courtyard, I helped her wash up. Later, I found that the fragrant skin cream that the young lady usually used was gone, so I took a bottle of the same one from the wedding box sent by the second young lady and gave it to the young lady."

"I really don't know what's going on. Madam, please understand... Please spare my life, young lady..." She cried with tears and snot.

Chan Yi glanced at her from the side.

How could this be the same glamorous maid Zi Fu in Jinxiu Courtyard?

Looking at Zi Fu kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy, Chan Yi seemed to see himself that day.

But she won't be soft-hearted anymore.

The eldest lady had just pulled her back from the brink of death, but she had not forgotten the pain she had gone through during these days.

On second thought, she didn't expect that the young lady would actually help her...

"What did you say? Jiang Nian?" Jiang Yin stood up suddenly, walked to Zi Fu and asked while grabbing her hair.

Qin hurriedly stepped forward and released her hand distressedly, calming her down and saying, "Don't worry, sit down first. Mother is here!"

Jiang Yin then followed Qin's hand and stepped back.

"You said that this fragrant skin cream was sent by the second young lady?" Qin turned her head and asked.

Zi Fu nodded and replied, "Yes, Madam, the wedding box is still on the eight-immortal table in the outer room. No one has touched it. Only the bottle of fragrant skin cream is on the young lady's dressing table. You will know it when you see it."

She knelt down in front of Jiang Yin again and said, "Miss, I really didn't do anything. Last night, I only used the fragrant skin cream on you and didn't touch anything else."

Zhou was worried that she might hurt Jiang Yin, so she kicked her and shouted, "You bitch, how dare you get close to Yin'er?"

Qin Ying'er also hurriedly stood in front of Jiang Yin.

No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to pretend to be doing it.

Zi Fu was kicked to the ground by her without paying attention, and was in a miserable state.

Behind her was Chan Yi who was kneeling.

Her eyes turned, as if she had thought of something, and she hurriedly crawled towards Qin...
