Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

After Ye Xue woke up, she learned that Hong Luo had been caught and almost fainted again.

She dragged her limp body against the door frame, her eyes red, "I didn't know I had such a murderer by my side, and I almost killed Brother Jinglan."

"If anything happens to my brother, I will become the sinner of the Ye family and the Marquis' Mansion." She knelt down in front of the door, tears hanging on her pale face, looking even more wronged than Ye Jinglan.

Ye Zhen was filled with resentment. If she had arrived a moment later, who knows what they would have done to Jing Lan.

He did not intend to let Ye Xue go, and said, "Hongluo is just a maid. If no one assigns her, how dare she harm the young master of the Ye Mansion?"

Ye Xue bit her lip, "I know my second sister is angry, but, but how could I poison myself?"

"The general loves me, and I have hope. Why should I die?"

Ye Zhen's gaze was like a sharp arrow piercing the clouds, forcing Ye Xue to not dare to look directly at him. "I didn't say it was you who ordered it, why are you so anxious?"

"I..." Ye Xue was anxious, "Hongluo is my girl, what Second Sister said is directed at me."

Ye Zhen said coldly, "Your girl dared to set her sights on Jing Lan, so of course I will hold you accountable!"

"I don't know why Hongluo did this!" Ye Xue covered her face with a handkerchief, wanting to cry but without tears.

Ye Yunsheng went to the pharmacy to get his medicine. Cui watched the two quarreling with cold eyes. No one was going to help. Only Li Chengge was annoyed by the quarrel. He shouted at Hongluo, "Who ordered you to do this? If you tell me a lie, I will beat you to death immediately!"

When he said this, he glanced at Ye Zhen and Ye Xue. The former was calm and fearless, while the latter did not look him in the eye.

Li Chengge is not really stupid. He doesn't mind Ye Xue being jealous, but he can't be treated like a monkey or a gun!

Hong Luo was frightened. She knew very well that Ye Xue was two-faced and that even if she died, she would probably not be able to keep her body intact. So she made up her mind, turned around and looked at Ye Jinglan deeply.

Ye Jinglan was just standing up after being helped by Ye Zhen. He suddenly met Hong Luo's gaze and had a bad feeling.

As expected, Hongluo said, "Young Master may not remember that two years ago, because of this pot of Weeping Avalokitesvara, Miss San asked me to ask you to give us a plant, but you refused."

"I knelt in front of your courtyard and refused to leave. You got angry and poured a cup of hot tea over me. I went back and was punished by Miss Three for the whole night."

"It's just a nice-looking green leafy tree. What's so great about it?"

"Today, I passed by the young master's courtyard and saw the dripping Guanyin, which reminded me of this matter. Now the third young lady has the general's love, and the second young lady and the young master don't like us. Today, the young lady is going back home, and you will make things difficult for her halfway."

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get, so..."

Hongluo straightened her back, her eyes on her nose and her nose on her heart, "It was because I wanted to take revenge on you, so I put only two drops of juice in Miss Third's tea. It won't kill you."

"No one orders the slaves around."

Hongluo's reason is reasonable, but it is unreasonable to frame the master for such a small matter.

Ye Xue followed up by saying, "It's my fault for not disciplining this servant. Madam and the general, please punish me. Hong Luo has been by my side for many years and we are like sisters. It's my fault for not realizing that she was resentful sooner."

Ye Zhen said, "Don't cry, third sister. I have some questions that I want to ask Hong Luo."

Ye Xue's expression tensed up, but before she could speak, Cui said, "Ask."

Ye Zhen deliberately glanced at Li Chengge. Li Chengge was a little uncomfortable with being taken seriously by her. He raised his eyebrows but did not object.

Ye Zhen then asked, "How do you know how to control the poison of the Water Drop Guanyin?"

Hong Luo was already nervous. When she heard that, her body trembled, her head dropped even lower, and she was unable to answer.

"On the day when the Cui family caravan brought the dripping Guanyin, my father said that the juice of this thing was poisonous. If you accidentally took one or two drops and found it in time, you could still save your life. But if you took more, you would be in danger."

"My eldest sister, myself, Jing Lan, and my third sister were present that day. How did you know about this, Hong Luo?"

"I heard it from the Third Miss." Hongluo hesitated a little, but fortunately she answered in time, "The Third Miss also likes the Dripping Guanyin, and told me to be careful when I asked you to ask for it."

Ye Xue nodded hurriedly, "That's right."

Ye Zhen remained calm and asked, "Okay then. Are you sure that the one in Jinglan Courtyard is the Dripping Guanyin, and that you did use the juice from the leaves to mix in Third Sister's tea?"

This question made Cui frown. It was obvious that she thought Ye Zhen could control Ye Xue, but now it seemed that it was not satisfactory. "How could your father's personal diagnosis of the pulse be wrong?"

Ye Zhen turned to look at Li Chengge. Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, and her agility was accompanied by intelligence and calmness that neither Ye Rong nor Ye Xue had, which immediately touched Li Chengge's heart.

He almost forgot the previous unpleasantness, "I will sit next to Xue'er, there is no mistake."

Ye Xue was also puzzled, "If it weren't for the Dripping Guanyin, I wouldn't have nearly died."

Hearing them all being so sure, Ye Zhen felt relieved.

She slowly walked up to Cui, reached out to pick up some juice from the broken leaves, and licked it with the tip of her tongue in full view of everyone.

It was as if he was touching Li Chengge's fingers. His Adam's apple moved and his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

Before in the Marquis' Mansion, I only thought that she was good-looking and considerate in serving people, but I didn't realize that she was so charming.

Li Chengge tightly grasped the armrests of the chair with both hands. He was the first one to react among all the people. "You are trying to kill yourself!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked.

Cui was so scared that she hid away and leaned against Wang Ma, trembling, "Ye Zhen, you are crazy! That's poisonous!"

Li Chengge frowned. He didn't see any panic flash in his eyes when Ye Xue was unconscious just now, but now he ordered the guards around him, "Go find Dean Ye quickly."

"Ye Zhen, you, you are simply..."

He didn't know whether he wanted to curse or what, but his chest felt tight and he couldn't imagine fainting like Ye Xue.

They didn't notice that Ye Jinglan, who should have been the most nervous, didn't react at all.

Ye Zhen showed no signs of being poisoned. She looked at Li Chengge with clear and bright eyes, and her mind was very calm. "This is not the Weeping Goddess of Mercy, it's a calla lily that looks very similar to the Weeping Goddess of Mercy."

"Jing Lan likes the Weeping Goddess of Mercy, but he is weak. I was worried that something might go wrong. I found out that the calla lily is very similar to it, so I replaced the Weeping Goddess of Mercy."

"That's why Jing Lan refused to give it to Third Sister."

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Ye Zhen slowly turned around and looked at Ye Xue, saying word by word, "So I'm curious, where did the dripping Guanyin poison in Third Sister's tea come from?"

Ye Xue never thought that it was not the Dripping Guanyin!

All eyes were on her at the moment. No matter how good the excuses were or how tender the tears were, they could not explain it for her.

Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "Oh, I forgot, it was Hongluo who acted on her own initiative, it has nothing to do with Third Sister."

"Hongluo, then tell me where the Dripping Guanyin is in this Ye Mansion."
