Cold-faced Empress

These words sounded heavy, and Qingyin frowned slightly, looking puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she said, "This servant is willing to do things for Miss, and is also willing to bear the consequences for Miss. This servant is just worried that I might be careless and not thorough in my work, and it would be bad if it implicated Miss."

Upon hearing this, Fu Siying shook her head: "Don't worry, it's alright."

When Fu Siying went to find Madam Li, Madam Li had just finished examining Wei Lanling's bites and was now examining Little Madam Li's body. Little Madam Li's condition was similar to Wei Lanling's, but much milder.

Li guessed, "It seems that Lanling caught fleas, and you caught some from her."

Wei Lanling felt extremely wronged and embarrassed: "I don't know why I caught fleas. Yesterday, I didn't go anywhere except to go boating on the lake with my cousins."

Moreover, Li knew that Wei Lanling had fallen into the water afterward.

Just as Li was about to speak again, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Fu Siying was standing at the door. Without thinking, she said, "Siying, have you been bitten by any insects? Your cousin's room has a flea infestation. Go back and have Qingyin check your bed. If there's anything unclean, have the servants rinse and clean it as well, just in case."

Fu Siying stepped across the threshold with a calm expression: "I didn't have much contact with my cousin yesterday. How could she have caught fleas from somewhere?"

Seeing that Fu Siying had not been bitten, Madam Li did not say much. After instructing the servants to do the work, she had a maid bring some cooling ointment to apply to Wei Lanling and Madam Li.

Seeing the two of them almost covering their entire bodies with the cooling balm, and even scratching themselves as they did so, Mrs. Li was completely baffled: "Where did they catch these fleas from?"

After finishing his sentence, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Qingyin: "Qingyin, where did you buy the new clothes for Miss Biao yesterday? Could it be that the new clothes are not clean?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Lanling and Madam Li immediately stopped what they were doing, looking at Qingyin with unease, while at the same time glancing at Fu Siying with veiled suspicion.

When the lady called her name, Haruno thought she had been exposed and turned pale instantly. Even after hearing that the lady only suspected that there was something wrong with the new clothes, Haruno was still unable to calm down.

"Yes, it's Xianjin Clothing Shop. Madam, the clothes I bought are new, they won't have fleas!"

Li had only asked casually, after all, if the new clothes from Xianjin Clothing Shop had fleas, then Xianjin Clothing Shop would be ruining its reputation and wouldn't be able to survive in the capital! But she didn't expect Qingyin to be so panicked, which was really suspicious.

Just as Li was about to question Qingyin, her lips suddenly tightened, and she looked at Fu Siying's face with a restrained gaze. Unexpectedly, her eyes met Fu Siying's!

Li was startled, feeling that her daughter's gaze was a mixture of amusement and sarcasm, a mixture of cold anger and resentment. This gaze caused Li a pang of pain in her heart, and she dared not question Qingyin any further.

Seeing her mother startled, Fu Siying, not intending to let her mother escape so easily, smiled gently: "Mother, what do you want to say?"

Based on previous experiences and lessons, Li immediately shook her head repeatedly: "It's nothing!" She spoke very decisively and resolutely.

Fu Siying chuckled softly, "Hehe, mother and daughter are of one mind, I know what you want to say."

Li shook her head firmly, nervously grabbed Fu Siying's hand, and said urgently, "Mother didn't think about anything. Mother was just wondering where the fleas came from. It has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it."
