Shen Qionghua sat down on the armchair, looked at Bai Zhi with sinister eyes, and said indifferently: "What happened today?"

An Yi stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Miss Shen, An Yi will follow your instructions today and look after Young Master Shen in the dark."

"This maid suddenly came to Master Shen and said that you asked Master Shen to go to the small garden to talk to him about something, so I followed you."

"When they passed the pond beside the rockery, the maid pushed Young Master Shen into it and prevented him from getting out of the water."

"Later, the second young master of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion also arrived. He came with Young Master Shen and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he happened to see this scene and, together with the maid, pushed Young Master Shen underwater."

"When An Yi saw this, he appeared and fished Young Master Shen out of the pond. He then kicked the maid, who subconsciously pulled the Second Young Master of the Yongning Marquisate, and they both fell into the pond."

"An Yi thought, this maidservant is someone close to you, a traitor to her master, so you must have made some arrangements. So, after she lost her strength, you rescued her."

As for the second young master of the Yongning Marquisate, he was so vicious and wanted to kill people at such a young age. He would not be a good person when he grows up. Moreover, it was not him who kicked the man down, so he naturally would not be kind enough to save people.

Besides, he is the second young master of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, not the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. He is not just bored and has nothing to do.

An Yi felt no guilt at all and could clearly distinguish between friend and foe.

After hearing this, Shen Qionghua suddenly understood.

She said that she had clearly told An Yi to stay with A Yi today, so why did someone drown, and the person who drowned was Zhou Jinxuan. So this was the reason.

Shen Qionghua did not think the child was innocent, nor did she think An Yi was indifferent to the child's death.

Not to mention that Zhou Jinxuan had bullied Ayi many times, just say that Zhou Jinxuan and Bai Zhi pushed Ayi into the water together, trying to drown him.

She couldn't help but wonder whether Zhou Jinxuan had done the same thing in his previous life, and whether Zhou Jinxuan was also one of the culprits for Ayi's death.

She felt only joy in her heart.

Shen Qionghua's gaze fell on Bai Zhi who was struggling on the ground. She was wet and trembling, as if she had fallen into the pool and had not changed her clothes yet.

The physical discomfort coupled with the psychological fear really makes one feel pitiful.

Shen Qionghua slowly walked up to her and took out the rag from her mouth.

With her mouth free, Bai Zhi ignored the pain and immediately begged Shen Qionghua for mercy, her voice trembling, "Miss, Miss, I was forced. I didn't mean to harm the young master. Please forgive me this time, forgive me this time!"

"Oh? You said you were forced?"

Seeing that Shen Qionghua was still willing to talk to her, Bai Zhi felt a glimmer of hope. She rolled her eyes and choked out, "Yes, Miss, the Marquis's wife forced me to do this!"

"I didn't want to, but she kidnapped my mother and said that if I didn't do what she said, she would kill her. My mother, Aunt Bai, has watched over the young lady since she was a child. Doesn't the young lady remember that?"

Shen Qionghua raised her eyebrows, but said nothing. She just looked at her quietly, wondering what kind of lies she could come up with to survive.

Seeing that Shen Qionghua was unmoved, Bai Zhi's relief immediately turned into panic, and she thought rapidly in her mind how to get Shen Qionghua to forgive her.

Bai Zhi said, "Miss, I hesitated. I didn't want to do it. I... I wanted to give up halfway through and wanted to save the young master."

"But then...that bastard Zhou Jinxuan suddenly showed up. I was afraid he'd alert the enemy, so we were delayed for a while..."

"And... and this servant... This servant didn't drag that bastard into the water subconsciously. This servant did it on purpose. Yes, that's it. This servant dragged him into the water on purpose because she was afraid that he would continue to hurt the young master."

Bai Zhi was extremely panicked. She already knew that the Shen family and the Yongning Marquisate had fallen out. Now she was in Shen Qionghua's hands. If Shen Qionghua knew what she had done in the past, she would definitely die!

"Puchi——" Shen Qionghua really couldn't help laughing out loud this time.

She looked at Bai Zhi's miserable appearance, which was completely different from the way she showed off to her in the basement of Yongning Marquis' Mansion in her previous life.

"If that's what you're saying, how about I send you to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion? You stand in front of the gate and tell them, and I'll believe you. How do you say that?"

what?

There was a mixture of tears and snot on Baizhi's face, which looked extremely funny with her shocked expression.

"Miss...you are joking with me, right? You must be joking with me, Miss. This joke is not funny at all."

She ran to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and said that she had killed the second young master of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. The people in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion would skin her alive and pull out her tendons!

Shen Qionghua restrained her smile and said, "I'm not joking."

Bai Zhi was really scared now. "Miss, Miss, what I said is true. You can't treat Bai Zhi like this!"

"Really? What's true? The truth is that you want to be Zhou Jinlin's concubine and therefore come to harm my Shen family!" Shen Qionghua said gritting her teeth.

Bai Zhi's mind went blank for a moment, and then her face was filled with fear.

Shen Qionghua knew, she knew, she would not let herself go!

Bai Zhi struggled and knelt on the ground, banging her forehead against the ground, begging, "Miss, Miss! Miss, I won't dare to do that again!"

"Please forgive me this time! I will never do it again! Please forgive me once, and I will never have second thoughts in the future. I will serve you wholeheartedly!"

Baizhi knocked against the ground with a bang, and soon blood began to flow, sliding down her skin and staining her eyes red.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, An Yi!"

An Yi stepped forward immediately.

"If you secret guards betray your master, is there a set of prescribed punishments?" Shen Qionghua asked.

"Yes, Miss Shen."

"Then give her everything. Don't let her die so easily."

"Yes!"

As An Yi said this, he dragged Bai Zhi away.

"Miss! Miss, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again!!!"
