He Xiaoniang returned to the house, threw off her coat in a rage, and gritted her teeth as she looked at herself in the bronze mirror!

She was already panicking the last time she failed to get rid of Fang Qingqing. This time, not only did she fail, but she also implicated Wang Yun. If that crazy woman hadn't caught her and Wang Yun... she wouldn't have to live in such fear every day! Seeing that Wang Yun was about to be sent out by the housekeeper to be the shopkeeper, and she was about to give birth to a child, one of them would earn money in the shop, and the other would have someone else raise her son. This was a good thing, but there was a hidden danger in Fang Qingqing. As long as she got rid of her, there would be no worries!

If it weren't for Xiao Lan's sudden change of character who wanted to get involved...

"This sickly woman who is half dead, really thinks she is her own mistress? She is her own wife? She would rather die sooner than later, just like that crazy woman, you are both worthless! Sooner or later, I will let you die together." She was so angry that she couldn't help cursing!

At this time, a maid brought warm water and was about to wipe He Xiaoniang's face, but when she heard the ugly scolding, she did not dare to enter the house for a long time.

He Xiaoniang was cursing when she finally saw the person at the door carrying water. Her expression immediately changed, but her tone was still bad. "What are you doing standing at the door? Come in."

"Yes."

"If you have nothing to do, then go to bed early. I don't need you to serve me tonight."

"Yes……"

-----------------

Everyone in the courtyard rose early today, had breakfast early, and then headed to the main hall. Sun hadn't slept well the previous night and didn't want to go this morning, but Mother Yu wasn't absent.

Now Sun Shaohua and Xiao Lan were sitting in the upper seats in the main hall, and He Xiaoniang was sitting in the lower seat.

He Xiaoniang dressed up as carefully as ever. Xiao Lan looked her over carefully, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Fang Qingqing arrived late, accompanied by Xiaobai. She looked different today, wearing a fitted green dress, her hair neatly tied in a bun, a simple and unique hairpin, and light makeup that perfectly complemented her delicate features.

Fang Qingqing bowed to everyone seated one by one.

"It seems that Miss Fang is much better now." Xiao Lan spoke first.

Fang Qingqing didn't answer, but knelt down gently, kowtowed, and then looked up at the people.

"Yesterday, I heard from the maid that I had misremembered the date and had forgotten quite a few dates..." Fang Qingqing finished speaking, lowering her eyes to glance at Sun Shaohua, "I have brought shame to the master."

Xiao Lan hurriedly went to help him, but Sun Shaohua stopped her and motioned for her to sit down. He then had the servants bring Wang Yun, who had been tied up in the woodshed all night, up.

"Master, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I'll tell you everything!" Before Wang Yun even reached the door, he broke free from the servants and crawled to his knees in the hall.

"Then tell me what the poem was about when it was recited at Fang Xiaoniang's door." Sun Shaohua picked up a cup of hot tea.

"Yes... that's what Madam told me!" Wang Yun suddenly knelt straight, pointed at Xiao Lan, and then quickly lowered his head. "Madam said that Fang Xiaoniang had ruined her good fortune and wanted him dead. She told me to use this poem to lure Fang Xiaoniang out of the yard and then push her into the well."

Fang Qingqing was still kneeling in the hall. She glanced at him and felt that the story he made up was a little familiar.

"Me? I didn't..." Xiao Lan tried to argue in panic.

"What good thing did you ruin, Madam? The matter with Madam Xu?" Sun Shaohua said casually, taking a sip of his fragrant tea. He had never told Xiao Lan about the poem, only He Xiaoniang. He was sure of this because he had never been so passionate with Xiao Lan, let alone taken a boat trip! One day, when he and He Xiaoniang were boating, they jokingly mentioned Fang Qingqing's matter, so he remembered it clearly.

"Yes...it's that thing!" Wang Yun nodded repeatedly.

"Then it's not an affair?" Sun Shaohua asked again.

"No, no, no, no matter how crazy Miss Fang is, she is still the master's concubine. I dare not have any evil thoughts."

"Killing is not your evil intention?" Sun Shaohua sneered.

"This..." Wang Yun couldn't help but look at He Xiaoniang again. He Xiaoniang's face was expressionless. Wang Yun could only continue to stare at the ground.

"Chi Yu, bring the person up." Sun Shaohua's voice was not loud, but it made He Xiaoniang unable to help but look outside the door.

Chi Yu brought a maid into the house. It was the maid who carried the basin of water at He Xiaoniang's door last night. When He Xiaoniang saw her, her expression changed too much. Xiao Lan looked at He Xiaoniang's appearance and had a hard time hiding the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Master, Miss He didn't let me serve you last night, so the other servants don't know anything!" The maid kowtowed repeatedly, her voice miserable.

"Don't know? Then why did Chi Yu see you secretly following He Xiaoniang out?" Sun Shaohua hated being teased the most.

"That's...that..." The maid hesitated and glanced at He Xiaoniang, "I was worried that He Xiaoniang was pregnant and got hurt outside. She would be punished in the courtyard when she returned, so I followed her secretly!"

"What did you see!" Sun Shaohua slammed the table and stood up, his face full of anger, and the muscles on his face trembled unconsciously.

“See…see…” The maid couldn’t say it.

Sun Shaohua smashed a cup of hot tea on the man's head and said, "Speak!"

The maidservant was so frightened that she trembled and didn't even dare to pick the tea leaves. "I saw He Xiaoniang go to the woodshed and didn't come out for half a minute!"

"You're talking nonsense!" He Xiaoniang jumped up from the chair, grabbed the maid's hair and started tearing it. The maid was pulled all over the place and almost fell to the ground. Wang Yun hurriedly hugged He Xiaoniang to prevent her from falling.

Although Sun Shaohua had prepared for this, the scene was still too much for him to bear. He Xiaoniang, the woman he loved the most, was actually doing something shameful behind his back.

"Enough!" Sun Shaohua shouted angrily, stopping everyone's movements. He Xiaoniang was helped to sit down by the maid, and Wang Yun also realized that he had made a mistake in his haste.

"Let me ask you, why did you go to see Wang Yun yesterday?"

"Master... I didn't... this girl..." He Xiaoniang didn't want to admit it, "Master, don't you know that I love you deeply? This girl must have been sent by someone else to frame you..."

"He Xiaoniang, this maid followed you last night. I followed this maid and I also saw..." Chi Yu had not finished speaking.

"Don't say that!" He Xiaoniang picked up the teacup and threw it out!

Fang Qingqing stepped back, truly afraid of getting hurt. With all this chaos going on, wasn't it time for her to step out? But would anyone believe what she said? She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Lan, who nodded quietly.

"Master... I think I know why..." Fang Qingqing's voice was timid, but it made He Xiaoniang look at her in horror.

"You are crazy! You are crazy! Who would believe you!" He Xiaoniang was about to go up and tear Fang Qingqing apart again, but was held down by the maidservants beside her.

"I've seen them...both of them...at..."

"It's not me, it's not me! You must have seen it wrong!" He Xiaoniang was still arguing, but Wang Yun was so scared that he couldn't even raise his head.

Someone screamed in surprise, and blood oozed from under He Xiaoniang's skirt. Everyone was in a panic. Wang Yun suddenly rushed over and said, "Go find a doctor! Go find a doctor!"
