Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

In fact, Concubine Yun asked this maid to deliver the cakes because she thought she was very smart and sent her to Lingxiao Garden to check it out. Xiao Zuochen naturally knew his mother's intention. He could have fooled her at will, but this maid was indeed a little rude to him, probably because she was taking advantage of Concubine Yun's power.

That's why Xiao Zuochen wanted to take this opportunity to warn those who work for Concubine Yun not to rely on their intelligence and the support of his mother to act recklessly in front of him. He, Xiao Zuochen, is no pushover.

Soon, the news that a maid had poisoned Prince Yun spread throughout the palace. But Concubine Yun knew about it because Zuo Xin had ordered someone to take the maid to see Concubine Yun, and Xiao Zuochen had fainted due to poisoning and was being treated by a doctor from the Imperial Hospital.

"What!?"

After hearing what Zuo Xin said, Concubine Yun was completely shocked. That was her capable assistant, so she naturally believed that the maid did not poison. But how could things turn out like this?

Concubine Yun looked at the palace maid, and the palace maid shook her head slightly at her. Concubine Yun knew that she was ready to die.

"What do you want to defend yourself?"

Concubine Yun couldn't help but ask, this was the next Xue Wan she wanted to train, and she didn't want him to fail here.

"I know I am guilty of a capital crime, I only ask that the Imperial Concubine will give me a quick death!"

After the palace maid finished speaking, she kowtowed heavily to the ground, saying goodbye to Concubine Yun.

"it is good!"

Concubine Yun turned around and refused to look at him. She waved her hand at Zuo Xin and the others with her back to them.

"Suppress it, and you will be executed tomorrow!"

Even if she is executed tomorrow, there is still room for maneuver. At worst, she can find a palace maid of similar stature to die in her place.

"Does mother really want to sentence her to death? Maybe there is some hidden reason behind this, and the poison might not have been administered by her."

Zuo Xin's neither humble nor arrogant voice sounded, and Concubine Yun did not turn around after hearing it.

"She is the only one who has handled this pastry. Who else could it be if not her? She dared to poison the royal family. It is not too much to kill all her clans!"

"it is good!"

Zuo Xin was waiting for Concubine Yun to say this. Concubine Yun only heard a brief sound of metal friction, followed by the sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh.

Now Concubine Yun finally realized why Zuo Xin asked that question just now. She hurriedly looked back and saw Zuo Xin pulling out the dagger. The little palace maid fell to the ground and looked at Concubine Yun.

Concubine Yun looked at Zuo Xin in shock. She never expected that Zuo Xin would dare to kill someone, and kill her people in front of her!

"you!"

Zuo Xin wiped the blood off the dagger with a handkerchief, then threw it on the corpse beside her, still speaking to Concubine Yun in a dignified manner.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Mother. But I'm sure this kind of scene won't scare you."

"How dare you! I clearly said tomorrow..."

"Mother, I just asked you if you really wanted to execute this slave, and you answered that 'it would not be too much to execute all nine generations of the family'. I thought that since they were all going to be executed, why not let me share your worries, so that this slave would not have to trouble the jailer to deal with her again."

Zuo Xin spoke with confidence, and Concubine Yun had no reason to punish her, so she could only reprimand her.

"Then you shouldn't do it. There will naturally be someone to do it. You will only dirty your own hands and be stained with murderous aura. How can you help King Yun to expand his family in the future?"

Zuo Xin lowered her head. Concubine Yun knew that her relationship with Prince Yun was in name only, but she still said such things just to find an excuse to scold her.

"I know my mistake and I won't make it again."

Zuo Xin was just being polite.

"Since you know your mistake, I will punish you by grounding you for three days and making you copy the female rules ten times. Go!"

Zuo Xin stared at Concubine Yun with wide eyes. Is she crazy? She wants me to copy the female ring?

"What are you looking at me for? Why don't you go now!?"

"Yes, I will retire."

Zuo Xin could only grit her teeth and agree, but what she was thinking in her heart was, I won’t plagiarize.

The reason why Zuo Xin contradicted Concubine Yun was because she went back to the Zuo Mansion today.

When Lord Zuo saw her come back, he instantly became furious. He snatched the broom from the servant who was working nearby and hit Zuo Xin with it, wishing he could kill her on the spot.

After all, when Zuo Xin and Xiao Zuochen escaped, they did not tell Lord Zuo, and took her mother away directly, which was a great shame for the Zuo family. Zuo Lin certainly did not care where Madam Zuo went or whether she lived or died, but Zuo Xin took her away without caring about his face, which was undoubtedly a challenge to his dignity. He did not know about it until his colleagues came to visit with their wives the next day.

"Rebellious girl!"

Zuo Lin originally thought that this time the blow would land firmly on Zuo Xin as before, but he never expected that this time, Zuo Xin would catch it firmly with one hand.

Zuo Lin looked at his daughter standing there with her chest and back straight, and her left hand easily took his attack. The person was petrified on the spot.

"you you..."

Zuo Xin swung the broom with her left hand, almost making Zuo Lin stumble.

"What did father want to say?"

"You are so good at..."

Zuo Lin didn’t know what to say, but he had a lot of questions in his mind.

"Father, are you confused? Confused that your daughter actually tried to stop you today, instead of accepting the punishment obediently like usual?"

It seemed that because she had learned martial arts, Zuo Xin's confidence in speaking became much stronger.

After hearing what Zuo Xin said, Zuo Lin suddenly became depressed and waved at her.

"Hey, you've changed. Xin'er wasn't like this before."

Zuo Xin, however, showed a hint of ridicule.

"Xin'er? Oh, you only call me that when I'm useful to you, right? Over the years, how you've treated me and my mother, don't you know?"

When Zuo Lin heard Zuo Xin questioning her like this, she wanted to argue with her.

"How have I treated you? Haven't I been good enough to you and your daughter? If your mother could have given me a son, her life wouldn't have ended like this!"

"When my mother married you, you were already secretly having a mistress. The day after my mother got married, you brought her back and favored your concubine over your wife. How could my mother give birth to a child for you? Besides, is a son so important? Look at your good son. Apart from eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, he squandered the family fortune. What else can he do for you!?"

"He can give birth to more branches for our Zuo family! Can you?!"

Zuo Lin yelled out loudly after hearing what Zuo Xin said. No matter how bad his son was, he still had the surname Zuo! All his descendants would have the surname Zuo!

After hearing this, Zuo Xin gave a self-deprecating smile.

"So it's all for a surname. Well, since this surname is so important to you, from today on, I will give it up and take my mother's surname, Xu!"

"You! Good, good, good, you are such a rebellious girl! I will beat you to death today, you unfilial girl!"

Zuo Lin pretended to hit Zuo Xin, oh no, now he should call her Xu Xin, but she dodged in a flash and Zuo Lin missed his target and almost sprained his waist.

Xu Xin flew directly and stood steadily on the top of the wall, looking down at Zuo Lin. Coincidentally, Zuo Lin's favorite concubine also heard the noise and rushed over, and was also surprised to see Xu Xin flying to the top of the wall.

"From today on, we will sever our father-daughter relationship, but I will seek retribution for all the harm that you, the Zuo Mansion, have inflicted on my mother, and I will not let any of them go!"

After saying that, Xu Xin flew out of the house, leaving behind the furious Zuo Lin and the shocked concubine.
