Citron raised his head and then quickly lowered it again.

Qiangwei offered Cheng Songan a seat and whispered, "When I went there, I asked the people in the original mansion. Since Xiang Cheng entered the Cui Mansion, she has been serving as a personal attendant. However, the second young lady never takes her with her when she goes out."

Cheng Songan nodded, so she would take out the citron at this time.

Cheng Wanxin was not at home, Zhang was a simple-minded woman, and when Old Lady Yu saw her, she sent someone to ask for a maid, so Xiangcheng could be brought out easily.

But if she took Citron out, Cheng Wanxin would definitely be informed. Therefore, she had to wait for the time when Cheng Wanxin was too busy to take care of her. She was risking her life at the moment, so how could she still pay attention to a maid?

"Citron, why are you afraid of me?" Cheng Songan asked, "I have never treated you harshly."

Not to mention harsh treatment, she hardly had any contact with her.

Xiangcheng and Zhuying were originally ranked behind Cheng Wanxin's other two personal maids, Danruo and Qingguo. After the incident, Danruo and Qingguo were arranged by Feng to do rough work, and Xiangcheng and Zhuying naturally replaced them.

Later, Zhu Ying was poisoned to death by Cheng Wanxin, and she was the only one left among the four maids.

When Cheng Songan was in her boudoir, she never made things difficult for them, and she didn't even pay much attention to the maid who was trying to please them.

Citron held his head and shook it slightly without saying anything. He curled up into a ball and hugged himself tightly.

Cheng Songan gently placed his hand on her shoulder, wanting to get closer to her, but unexpectedly this action made Xiangcheng tremble suddenly, and she knelt on the ground, looking at her with horror in her eyes.

Qiangwei pressed on Cheng Songan's arm and whispered, "She seems to be afraid of others touching her."

Cheng Songan frowned, she looked very scared. After thinking about it, it seemed that she was paranoid after seeing Zhu Ying's death.

"Miss, where is the second young lady? Didn't you ask me to take care of her?" Seeing that she didn't touch him again, Xiang Cheng asked in a trembling voice, "What did I do wrong to lock me up here?"

Cheng Songan said gently, "You didn't do anything wrong. Wanxin is probably about to give birth. You can't help her, so just talk to Sister Qiangwei first, okay?"

Xiangcheng shuddered again. She knew that Cheng Songan was trying to coax her, but she didn't expect her to be so gentle. She was afraid of such gentleness, and there must be something cruel waiting for her behind such gentleness.

Cheng Songan felt a little reluctant. The Cheng family had been established since his grandfather's generation. He came from a poor family and did not have the cumbersome manners of those official families. Although he was strict with his servants, he would not make excessive demands, let alone abuse them. However, Citron was obviously greatly stimulated.

She pulled Citron's arm, lifted her sleeves, and looked at her smooth arms, which were clear of any marks.

Citron was trembling all over, but still obediently stretched out his arms for her to check.

Cheng Songan held her hand and asked, "Did she hit you?"

Citron shook his head, not sure whether he was afraid to say it or told a lie.

Cheng Songan did not force her. With Cheng Wanxin's ability, she would not use such a low-level method to teach a servant. She must have other ways to make Zhu Ying and Xiang Cheng so afraid of her.

It is destined that I will not be able to get anything out of her today. I cannot scare her too much. If I push her too hard, she might be so scared that she might commit suicide.

Cheng Songan held her hand and whispered, "I'll let you out later. Be quiet and don't let anyone know you've been here. Wanxin won't know. She's busy right now."

Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment. She didn't dare to judge whether Cheng Songan really wanted to let her go or was testing her.

Cheng Songan knew she was worried, so she didn't try to hide it and said directly, "I came to you today to ask about Miss Xue Wu, but I didn't expect Wan Xin to be so cruel. You are afraid of her, so I won't force you. But if you want to live well, you can't just obey blindly. Dan Ruo and Qing Guo were punished to do rough labor, and she secretly let them die suddenly when she went to Guishan Villa."

Needless to say, the only people Cheng Wanxin can trust are the dead.

Citron bit her lips until they almost bled, and she said nothing.

Cheng Songan waved his hand: "You have never helped her harm anyone, I know that, so I won't touch you, go away quickly."

Citron did not move, and whispered, "Miss, you used to love Miss very much."

Cheng Songan laughed at herself. Yes, she loved Cheng Wanxin very much, so she could not understand until her death in her previous life why Cheng Wanxin would hurt her for a man, and would hurt the sister who loved her since childhood.

"I have not seen her for many years, and perhaps our feelings have grown estranged. Wanxin is no longer the same Wanxin as before. I don't recognize her anymore." Cheng Songan closed her eyes and recalled the past. How could the little girl with bright eyes become like this?

Xiang Cheng suddenly knelt at her feet, hugged her legs and said, "Miss, she can't die. You used to love Miss very much. Please save her."

Cheng Songan frowned. Her loyalty was incredible. At any time, people would seek benefits and avoid harm. If the master was not a good one, what was the point of being loyal? Cheng Wanxin abused her like this, but she didn't complain. Instead, she wondered if she would kill Cheng Wanxin.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Songan remembered that Shen and Zhu Ying were grabbing her and begging her before they died.

Save your sister!

Save the Second Miss!

Now, Citron is still begging her like this.

"Citron, who threatened her? Tell me." Cheng Songan asked hesitantly.

Was Cheng Wanxin threatened? Otherwise, many of the things she did could not be explained. She hated herself, which was understandable, because Cui Yuanqing wanted to marry her, but the last time they assassinated her outside the city, those people did not even spare her father's life. Her father was also her father, how could she be so cruel to her own blood relative for no reason?

Is this person Xue Tingyun? Where is she?

Citron seemed to have made a great decision. He first shook his head and then nodded.

Cheng Songan asked anxiously: "Who is it? How did they contact each other?"

Citron shook her head, tears falling down her face. "I don't know. She won't tell me. Miss, please don't kill her!"

Then he thought of something, and Xiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Baoguo Temple. It must be near Baoguo Temple. It started from Baoguo Temple a few years ago."

Baoguo Temple, a few years ago!

Yes, Cheng Wanxin met Xue Tingyun when Shen took her to Baoguo Temple to worship Buddha and seek medical treatment, and thus brought the painting to Cui Yuanqing.

It turns out that Xue Tingyun has been in the capital all along? The person that Cui Yuanqing and Si Tui have been looking for so hard has actually always been by their side?

"Girl!" The sound of footsteps on snow was heard outside the yard.

Cheng Songan opened the door.

"The baby is really going to be born this time. Should we take advantage of the opportunity..." Taxue said, making a killing gesture.
