The little maidservant's crying, coupled with Zhao Fanglan's well-timed tears and Zhao Minshan's still-unrestrained anger, Zhao Fangyu remained calm.

As expected, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Her personality is very similar to Zhao Fanglan's. Zhao Fanglan had tried to frame her before but failed. Now she is desperate and has been holding back for a long time before finally coming up with a big move.

Zhao Fanglan was confident that her actions would be supported by Zhao Minshan, but unexpectedly she was met with Zhao Minshan's slightly disappointed eyes.

In an instant, it seemed as if a cool breeze blew by, and Zhao Fanglan's newly-felt luck was blown away completely.

Yes, she is no longer her father's favorite daughter. This plan is all based on the premise that her father will help her.

Now, Zhao Minshan's attitude has become the most important key to winning this game.

Zhao Fangyu stood up. Zhao Fangjin and others around him cast worried glances at him, but Zhao Fangyu was surprisingly calm. His brain was working at high speed, thinking about everything that happened today and even in the past half month.

She lived in the eldest lady's courtyard, and the only maid she brought with her was Xiangyao. Neither Xiangyao nor the eldest lady could be bribed by the people of Yuelanxuan.

The inside is an iron barrel, but what support and evidence does Zhao Fanglan have to dare to say in public that she stopped the court doctor and endangered someone's life?

Zhao Fangyu walked out slowly, bowed to the eldest lady and Zhao Minshan respectively, and then turned to Zhao Fanglan and lowered his eyes and said, "Third sister's maid is complaining for you, saying that you have been treated harshly because of me. I wonder how you feel."

Zhao Fanglan looked at Zhao Fangyu with eyes that were almost burning with anger. Her face was covered with needles and she was speechless. She stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at Zhao Fangyu with difficulty. What she wanted to express was self-evident.

Zhao Fangyu nodded, looking disappointed: "Yuer understands what Third Sister means."

She turned around and knelt down in front of the eldest lady, and defended herself in a gentle tone: "Just now, Third Sister's maid said that my daughter pinched Third Sister's flesh when Third Sister was in class. Third Sister, do you have any evidence for this?"

Zhao Fanglan wanted to shake her head, but before she could move, her maidservant retorted: "Fourth Miss is so unreasonable. You pinched our young lady and asked her for evidence. Do you think you would write on her face after you hit someone?"

Zhao Fanglan ignored her and only said to the eldest lady, "That means Third Sister has no evidence, so let's not talk about this for now."

"Third sister's maid said that I used the name of the first lady to send people to stop the palace doctor. Is there any evidence for this? If not, how could Third sister's maid be so confident and insist in front of Grandmother and my parents that I wanted to kill Third sister?"

"The new court doctor and my daughter have no connection. After Doctor Huang left, my daughter went back and forth between the academy and her father's study. In her free time, she only picked some spices and dragged her elder sister to show off her elegance. How could she have the ability and people to help her daughter win over the court doctor?"

"My daughter is the same as my third sister, both were born to my aunt. How could the new palace doctor disregard my third sister's life for me? Isn't he afraid of causing a death and then settling the matter later?"

Zhao Fangyu kowtowed slowly, as obedient and innocent as a gentle rabbit, but it was with such an innocent look that she made clear the relationship behind the scenes word by word.

Zhao Fanglan broke out in a cold sweat and the expression on her face was slightly out of control. The court doctor immediately stepped forward and adjusted the position of the needle.

His body was just blocking the maid and Zhao Fanglan. Zhao Fanglan stared at the half-bearded court physician in front of him, his eyes almost blazing with anger.

The little maid was in a state of panic without Zhao Fanglan. She stared at the ground in front of her, with veins all over the back of her thin hands.

A drop of cold sweat slid down the tip of the maid's nose. The maid suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Fangyu with eyes as if she had made some kind of determination.

She stared at Zhao Fangyu intently, wishing she could stare two holes in his back!

She stiffened her neck and almost shouted at the top of her lungs: "The Fourth Miss lives in the First Madam's courtyard. How can our girl compare to the Fourth Miss?! Aunt Zhang was almost driven out of the house by the Fourth Miss. Which illegitimate girl can live in the First Madam's courtyard? Can she please the First Madam? Today she rewards this, tomorrow she rewards that. Everyone in the house knows that the Fourth Miss is favored!"

"I got up early in the morning to ask the court doctor for the third lady, and I ran into Chui Liu in the fourth lady's room. She said that the old lady had returned home, and the fourth lady asked the court doctor to check the old lady's pulse in advance to show her filial piety. The third lady's illness is a minor one, so there is no need to delay the old lady's pulse check!"

"God has mercy on us. Our girl had a fever all night and we didn't dare to ask the court doctor. She endured the whole night alone. Finally, when it was daytime, we asked the court doctor to come, hoping that he would give her some medicine to reduce the high fever. Who knew..."

The little maid's eyes were shiny black. Her head banged against the wall with a loud bang. Blood flowed down the wound on her forehead and flowed all the way into her mouth. It tasted fishy, astringent and bitter.

"Master, please help our girl! She has to brave her illness to come and pay her respects to the old lady. If it weren't for the old lady, our girl would have died today and no one would have known!"

"How dare you!" The eldest lady slammed the table. Mother Cui's heart ached. The eldest lady's children looked at Zhao Fanglan with unfriendly eyes.

This little girl actually dragged the eldest lady into the water with just one sentence.

On the surface, he was saying that Zhao Fangyu was arrogant and domineering, but in fact he was trying to flatter Zhao Minshan by saying that the eldest lady was not a good housekeeper.

Zhao Fangyu also kowtowed to the eldest lady. After that, she slowly stood up and walked to the maid whose head and face were covered with blood. She gently lifted her head and wiped the blood with the handkerchief that Zhao Fangjin had just used to wipe her sweat.

Zhao Fangyu's hands were cold but steady. Even while wiping the sweat off her face, she was still thinking that she was shaking with fear when she saw someone drinking the mute potion just now, but now she dared to wipe someone's bruised head. She was quite accomplished.

After wiping, Zhao Fangyu knelt in front of Zhao Minshan and bowed to him.

Reason takes over the high ground. Zhao Fangyun, Zhao Fanglan, Qiaohui, Aunt Zhang...

Changing seats, lying dormant, bribing Chui Liu, and even this little girl who was willing to work for Zhao Fanglan as soon as she arrived in front of her...

There was no need to call Chui Liu over, Zhao Fangyu already knew that Chui Liu had been bribed.

The eldest lady's yard is not an iron bucket.

In the end, she was too careless, thinking that once she entered the eldest lady's courtyard, even if Zhao Fanglan wanted to harm her again, it would not cause any trouble.

But there is always a saying that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

"Chuiliu is the maid in charge of laundry in my daughter's room. My daughter has never spoken to her. As for the chores, they are mostly handled by the two older maids in my daughter's room."

"I really don't know what this maid said, but I ask father to call Chui Liu to confront my daughter for the sake of my and my third sister's innocence."

"Please also ask mother and father to send someone to check Chui Liu's residence and the family home to see if there is a large amount of gold, silver or precious jewelry hidden."
