Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine
Chapter 25 Attacking the heart step by step
Yixiu asked Honglian to serve her tea.
The teacup was scalding hot, but Yixiu had no intention of taking it.
"Honglian, how long have you been following me?"
Honglian's hand trembled slightly.
"In reply to Concubine, I have been following Concubine for eight years."
Eight years is not a short time.
Such people will also betray.
This gave Yixiu a new understanding of Dorogege and Rouze's abilities.
His stepmother really managed the general's mansion like an iron and copper.
They had actually placed spies around me when I was so young.
"Honglian, how do I treat you on weekdays?"
Honglian said: "The concubine is kind and generous, so she will naturally treat me well."
Honglian always felt that Yixiu had something else in his words.
Could it be that Yixiu discovered that she was working for the eldest lady?
Thinking of this possibility, Honglian became very nervous, but Yixiu did not ask any further and instead talked about another thing.
"I remember you are from the capital, right? Do you have any relatives at home?"
"I have two younger brothers and a younger sister at home, and my grandmother is still healthy."
"Where are your parents?"
"Has passed away."
"How is your relationship with your brother and sister?"
"I am a family with them and we have a good relationship."
Honglian's hands were already red from the heat, but she didn't dare to let go.
"Did you go home during these few days of rest?"
Honglian said: "No."
Yixiu finally reached out to pick up the teacup.
"Why does the color of this tea look wrong..."
Yixiu muttered to himself, and then asked Honglian:
"Since you have such a good relationship, why didn't you go home? Where have you been these days?"
Yixiu raised her voice for the last sentence.
Honglian trembled and dropped the tea set in her hand to the ground.
"This is the tea set given to me by the palace when I got married. It was a gift from the emperor!"
"Be bold!"
Honglian suddenly knelt down.
At the same time, Jianqiu also went to invite Rouze over.
Since Rouze entered the mansion, she met Yixiu every day, but Yixiu rarely took the initiative to invite her.
I don't know what happened today.
Rouze is no longer favored in the mansion, and her previous status has been reversed.
However, she and Yixiu are sisters after all, and Yixiu is a concubine's daughter, so she is not that afraid.
After arriving at Yongkang Pavilion, she saw Honglian kneeling on the ground at a glance.
Honglian's body trembled slightly.
Rouze glanced at her, controlled her expression, and said, "Yier, this maid is kneeling here, what has she done wrong?"
Yixiu didn't respond to her words, "Sister, why didn't you ask me, but asked about a maid first."
Rouze didn't expect that Yixiu had caught her in a trap.
She said calmly and softly, "When I came in just now, I saw this maid trembling, so I asked her one more question."
“Yier, you used to be the kindest and most considerate to your servants. I guess this maid must have done something to displease you, which is why you are so angry.”
"I was thinking to myself, it's not worth it if you get upset over a little thing."
These two sentences are openly explaining Yixiu's previous problem, but implicitly they are actually trying to distance themselves from the matter.
She was thinking of Yixiu, so she asked the maid what was wrong.
Yixiu said, "This maid was originally the tea server in my room. I wonder if you remember her, sister. I brought her from home."
Rouze took a closer look at the maid, then shook her head and said, "She looks familiar, but I don't remember it very clearly."
It’s good that you don’t know me.
Otherwise I will have a reason to plead for this maid later.
"This maid was originally brought in from the mansion to do chores. I saw that she was very skillful and knew a little about the tea ceremony, so I asked her to serve tea."
"Who would have known that when she was serving tea today, she broke my favorite tea set."
"That is a gift from the Emperor."
When Rouze heard this, she couldn't help feeling sad.
Although Yixiu was a concubine's daughter, it was Concubine De who suggested this marriage to Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Kangxi personally agreed to the marriage.
Therefore, there were many rewards at that time.
Although she was a legitimate daughter, she only had the title of a princess, so naturally she was not in the eyes of the Emperor.
Rouze gritted her teeth and advised her in a sister's tone, "Yier, although you are pregnant now, this maid only broke a set of tea sets. If you act too arrogantly, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among others, and your reputation will not be good."
Honglian looked at Rouze gratefully.
However, her eyes dodged again after meeting Yixiu's cold gaze.
"Sister, I'm so angry, of course, not just because of a set of tea sets."
Rouze's eyebrows jumped, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Then did this maid do anything else to make you angry, Yi'er?"
Yixiu looked at Rouze with a half-smile on her face, "Sister, the tea doesn't taste right either."
Rouze pretended to be calm, "Maybe her method of making tea has changed, or maybe there is something wrong with the tea leaves or the water used to make the tea?"
Yixiu stroked her belly gently.
"I'm pregnant now, so I'm very careful about everything, and I check the food I eat even more."
"The tea this maid made is not right, so I naturally won't drink it."
"I just don't know if she smashed the cup because the tea tasted wrong and she was afraid that I would hold her responsible."
After hearing this, Honglian could no longer hold back.
She kowtowed fiercely, "Concubine, you are very careful! I definitely did not do anything in the tea!"
"I just said the tea tasted wrong, I didn't say it was you who did it."
The maid Honglian had followed her for eight years and still betrayed her. Either she had evidence against her by Rouze and her daughter, or she was loyal to Rouze.
What's the point of forcing her to confess under torture? It's better to attack her mind step by step and make her confess.
Yixiu smiled and said, "Honglian, you are confessing now? What did you use? Musk or safflower?"
Yixiu asked so quickly that Honglian didn't even have a chance to think.
"Concubine, that red flower was not planted by me!"
"You know it's red flower—"
Yixiu drawled out her tone.
"Then the red flowers found in your house have an explanation."
Honglian's eyes widened.
There are no red flowers in her room.
She was very careful and disposed of the medicine cleanly every time after administering it.
But what she said just now was indeed a confession.
"Drag him away and beat him to death."
Yixiu said calmly.
Rouze and Honglian were both shocked.
Yixiu used to be a cautious person, and a bit weak and timid.
Why is it that now the person who opens his mouth is punished by being beaten to death?!
Rouze's eyes widened. Wasn't she afraid that she was so cruel that the Fourth Prince would stay away from her?
"Yier, this maid——"
Yixiu interrupted her, not giving her a chance to show her kindness.
"Sister, I know you have a kind heart, but now I am pregnant, and this maid dared to put safflower in my tea. This is to kill me twice! If I die, who will pity me?"
When Honglian heard Yixiu say this, her eyes widened again.
Rouze had told her that this amount of medicinal herbs was mainly used to weaken pregnant women and the babies born would also be weak, so how could there be two deaths in one?!
Rouze saw Honglian's eyes and quickly changed her mind, "Yier is right, it was I who was negligent. In that case... Fangluo, drag this maid away and beat her to death."
After saying that, Rouze held Yixiu's hand and said, "Let your sister do this kind of thing. Yi'er's hands must be clean, so as to accumulate blessings for the child."
Yixiu watched Rouze's actions coldly.
Rouze was indeed flawless when she was in the General's Mansion.
Here, the mask she maintained was finally pried open a little.
But this is just the beginning.
Yixiu thought of Honghui who died of illness in her previous life. She still remembers the heart-wrenching pain on that rainy night clearly.
Sister, you should experience it once too.
It's time to change your mind.
She didn't want Rouze to be proud, so she just wanted to be a princess here and live a lonely life.
Now that I think about it, this is still a good deal for her.
A woman as vicious as her must naturally experience all her pain!
She also had to experience the pain of losing her child before she could repay even a little of the pain she felt.
