The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the leaves were curled up due to the sun, and heat was rising from the ground.

The old woman, who was originally feeling guilty, looked up at Nangong Qing in horror after hearing Tong'er's words, and had to bite the bullet and retreat ten meters away.

The scorching sun scorched her face and body, and in a short while, the old woman was sweating profusely, her face flushed red. Her clothes were soaked through with sweat, sticking to her body tightly, making her feel very uncomfortable.

The old woman, feeling dizzy and dazed by the sun, didn't dare to breathe, waiting in fear for Nangong Qing's words.

Nangong Qing seemed to have forgotten about this matter and was chatting with Tong'er at this time.

"Tong'er, the Ruyi Garden used to be full of flowers, why are they so withered now?"

Nangong Qing took a sip of tea, looked up and looked around, and couldn't help frowning.

In the original owner's consciousness she had inherited, her mother, Fang Yun, loved flowers the most. Flowers bloomed in the garden year-round. Especially in August, red hydrangeas, pink peonies, and yellow roses bloomed in a dazzling display of splendor.

But now, the garden is full of dead grass and branches, the branches of flowers and plants are withered, small and weak, and the weeds are much stronger than the flowers. It is obvious that they are neglected.

Fang Yun was too weak to take care of herself, so naturally she couldn't take care of these things. But Nanny Sun was paid every month to do things that were not her responsibility, and she didn't even care about her own duties. This was a bit too much!

Nangong Qing stood up, walked to the garden, broke off a rose branch, held it in his hand, and walked towards Nanny Sun step by step.

"Princess...Princess...Princess, I have been taking care of Madam day and night without taking off my clothes, so I have neglected to manage the garden. Please, Princess, please forgive me for the many years I have served Madam..."

Seeing Nangong Qing walking forward with narrowed eyes, Nanny Sun was already frightened out of her wits and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy.

"Why don't you tell the truth? Are you going to tell it yourself or what?"

Seeing that Nanny Sun kept shaking her head and had no intention of confessing, Nangong Qing couldn't help but snort coldly.

This old guy is trying to get away with it!

She clutched the thorny thorn branch in her hand and struck Nanny Sun in the face without mercy! She was a traitor, deceiving her superiors and colluding with Nangong Xun, helping the evildoer to poison Fang Yun and her son. How could she let her go?

"Snapped!"

"what!"

After a scream, the old woman who was almost fainted by the sun fell to the ground with her face covered. There were several long scars on her cheeks where thorns had pricked her. The wounds caused by the sharp thorns were dotted with blood, and she looked very miserable.

Blood oozed out from the place where the skin and flesh were turned over, and the sweat on his face dripped into the wound, like salt being sprinkled into it, making the pain even more intense.

The old woman rolled on the ground in pain and begged for mercy.

"Speak, tell me everything you know, otherwise..."

Nangong Qing kicked the old woman to the ground and shook the thorn branch in front of her. Haha, the main goal is to make her want to live but not die, this is the end of selling out your master for fame and fortune!

"My Lady, Princess, I was wrong, I was really wrong... I'll tell you everything, Princess, please forgive me this time."

"It's Master and Madam Xue..."

"Mrs. Xue?"

Nangong Qing returned to the stone bench and sat down again. As he listened to the old woman talking, his eyes narrowed suddenly.

Xue Yuping was married to Nangong Xun after he became the top scorer in the imperial examination. With Fang Yun as his legal wife, Xue Yuping was at best a concubine. Was she worthy of being called Madam Xue?

"No, no, it was Aunt Xue... Master and Aunt Xue instructed me to mix drugs into Madam's Chinese medicine that would aggravate her condition. So, not only did the drugs Madam took not help her condition, but her symptoms became worse day by day..."

"The reason why the young master's madness has become more and more serious is that Aunt Xue instructed the old servant to add something to the young master's food, making him unable to sleep every night and haunted by nightmares. She also placed paper dolls in the young master's room and asked someone to perform a ritual, which is why the young master has become what he is now..."

"You cunning servant! Mother has always been kind to you over the years. I promoted you to the position of housekeeper, letting you serve me closely and taking a high salary. Is this how you repay her?"

Nangong Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up, picked up the rose branches thrown aside, walked to the old servant, and started whipping him!

He beat the old woman so hard that she screamed like a ghost!

Ahhh, why is she still being beaten after she confessed everything!

Tong'er stood aside and chuckled. This Nanny Sun was the head maid in Ruyi Garden. She had done a lot of things to deceive her superiors and subordinates. Well done to her!

"Listen up to me! You're willing to be a dog, right? Now get back to Nangong Mansion and report the news. Tell the truth, and say that I, Nangong Qing, came back and beat you up!"

Seeing the old woman getting up from the ground in a panic, covering her bloody face, and crawling towards the Nangong Mansion, Tong'er was full of confusion.

"Princess, if you allow Nanny Sun to go back and tip off the enemy, won't Aunt Xue and the others come back and cause trouble?"

"We're just waiting for her to come. Let's go back and eat something to gather our strength. We'll close the door and beat the dog later!"

Nangong Qing smiled coldly. Nangong Xunxue Yuping was now very worried because Nangong Yan had an abortion and could not get pregnant again.

He must have been thinking of getting money from his mother again and trying every means to please Prince Qi and Empress Lu. Now that he knew that Nangong Qing had come back to kill him, he was naturally furious.

Come on, could she be afraid of him?

When Cao Ben returned to the hall, he had already asked Nanny Zhang to wash the fruits and vegetables and serve him.

Nanny Zhang is also an old lady in the mansion. She is honest and not good at speaking, but she is a practical person. Because she refused to work hard for Xue Yuping, the tendons of her right foot were cut, and she still limps when she walks.

Knowing that Nangong Qing was always ruthless, a man who could even be cruel to his mother and brothers, how could he treat a lame servant like her kindly? Nanny Zhang stood aside silently with her hands hanging down, waiting fearfully for Nangong Qing's punishment.

"Madame Zhang has worked so hard. From today on, she will take over from Madame Sun to look after Mother. You all better keep your eyes open. If anyone dares to betray their master again, Madame Sun will be their example!"

"You can be a little stupid and foolish with me, but you must never do anything bad!"

"Madam Zhang, these are the muscle and bone pills I brought back from Prince Yu's Mansion. If you take them for a course of treatment, your leg tendons will naturally heal."

Nangong Qing took out a packet of pills from her wide sleeves, which she naturally took from her personal space.

"Thank you, Princess. I will do my best to serve the Madam and Young Master, and there will be absolutely no mistakes!"

Nanny Zhang was extremely excited. She took the pill from Nangong Qing with both hands and kowtowed hurriedly to express her gratitude. The other maids and servants all knelt down to express their loyalty.

"How dare you! You came back and started beating and scolding me. It's totally outrageous!"

Just as Nangong Qing was rearranging the duties of the maids, clarifying their respective tasks, and explaining to Nanny Zhang the precautions for his mother and Xin'er to take daily when taking medicine, he looked up and saw several people breaking into the hall.

The leader was her nominal stepfather.

Nangong Qing smiled coldly, coming at the perfect time.
