Chapter 1311: 178, Solve Chapter 1311: 178, Solve Sure enough, just as Lin Yuan had expected, Lady Bai imdiately lashed out at Ying Ge.
“Ying Ge!
What is going on?”
Caught off guard by Lady Bai’s shout, Ying Ge’s body trembled, and she involuntarily fell to her knees, “Madam, Madam, I am wrongly accused, I am truly wrongly accused!”
“Hmph, whether you are wrongly accused or not, go tell it to the large plank!” Lady Bai glanced at her disdainfully and imdiately had the maids drag her out.
Soon, the sounds of a plank being beaten and wailing could be heard outside.
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly, faintly hearing Lady Bai ntion sothing about “twenty planks.” Twenty planks shouldn’t kill her; she would still need her to testify later!
However, this Lady Bai really opened Lin Yuan’s eyes.
Being a forr serving maid, her skin was indeed thin.
Lin Yuan had rely made a casual remark, and Lady Bai had, without any discernnt, beaten Ying Ge to show off her status as the principal wife.
“This young lady, I have yet to ask for your esteed na.” After the disturbance with Ying Ge, Lady Bai’s attitude toward Lin Yuan changed.
She not only offered tea imdiately but also giggled while inquiring about her na.
However, asking for her na was just a pretense; her real intention must have been to find out which wealthy family in the Capital city Lin Yuan belonged to.
Observing the eager and expectant look in Lady Bai’s eyes, Lin Yuan mischievously smiled, pretending not to hear and not telling her own na, while wickedly muttering in her heart, “I won’t tell you; I will annoy you to death!”
“Madam, I have always heard that Madam Han treats her legitimate daughter, Miss Han, very kindly.
I couldn’t wait to visit today, only to—I must say—I am indeed enlightened by what I’ve seen!”
Lin Yuan’s lukewarm voice made Lady Bai feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and quickly dissociated herself, “Oh dear, young lady, you’ve co at a bad ti.
Our Juanjuan is ill.
The physician demanded strict rest, and there’s no other courtyard that compares to this one.
Originally, I was reluctant to have the child stay here, and moreover, there was no ti to clean up the courtyard.
You see, either I let Juanjuan stay in a rundown courtyard, or I let her stay ill; weighing the pros and cons, I had to let her stay here for now.”
Lady Bai spoke as though she was a pitiful mother who had to give up her stable life for her daughter’s life.
Inside, Lin Yuan looked composed, but she inwardly despised such sanctimonious talk of abusing her legitimate daughter, probably only Lady Bai could have such thick skin.
Indeed, having gone from a serving maid to a Little Concubine and then from a Little Concubine to the principal wife, Lady Bai did have so sches.
At that mont, Xiao Linshuang furrowed her brows and suddenly interjected, “But Miss Han doesn’t seem ill to ; didn’t you see her lips were purple?
She was obviously poisoned!”
Lady Bai’s face turned unsightly for a mont, her eyes darting around, “No, no, I had a doctor co, it’s just a cold, and she even developed a rash!”
Lin Yuan exclaid, “Ah?
A rash?
I heard that’s contagious.
Madam Han, aren’t you afraid of infecting everyone by bringing so many people into Miss Han’s room?”
Lady Bai’s face looked even worse.
She had hurried over after hearing that soone had co to visit Han Huijuan, and she had completely forgotten about this!
“This, this…”
She stamred for a long ti, unable to construct a proper response.
Lin Yuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with her anymore; Han Huijuan’s health was the most important matter at the mont.
“Madam Han, to be honest, I have so dical knowledge, and I have just done a pulse diagnosis for Miss Han.
She is indeed poisoned.”
Lady Bai stared at Xiao Linshuang, montarily at a loss for words, “She, she knows dicine?”
Xiao Linshuang rolled her eyes, “Remove the word ‘know’!”
Then, she ordered Xue Ge, “Go get all the rouge and face powder your mistress has used, especially what she used this morning, and don’t miss any.”
Xue Ge repeatedly nodded and scrambled to Han Huijuan’s dressing table.
Actually, Han Huijuan had moved here so ti ago and rarely used makeup, only applying it carelessly when going out—but among the pile of old items, a new box was particularly conspicuous.
