After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

"Father, there must be some mistake. Luyao is a loyal woman, how could she cast a curse to assassinate someone?" Wen Ranyan grabbed a corner of the table tightly, her eyes red as she pleaded for Luyao.

Prime Minister Wen's face was as cold as ice: "Shut up, I'm asking that bitch, why are you butting in?"

Wen Ranyan was so shocked that her shoulders shrank and tears suddenly rolled down, looking so pitiful.

"Heiyao, pry open the mouth of this slave. I want to see who can bribe even the maid in my mansion." Prime Minister Wen slammed the table and stood up, determined to find out who was the culprit and teach him a lesson.

Hei Yao was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye he flashed in front of Lu Yao. He dragged him up like a dead dog and said gloomily: "The Prime Minister is asking you a question, are you going to say it or not?"

Lu Yao's internal organs were torn apart, but her instinct for survival made her speak incoherently: "I...did not cast a spell, nor did I assassinate..."

Hei Yao threw her to the ground without mercy: "You refuse to repent. The poisonous insect clearly came out of your bracelet. You still dare to quibble in front of the Prime Minister. You really don't know how to live or die."

bracelet?

Lu Yao's heart was shaken and she suddenly looked at the emerald green bracelet on her wrist.

The emerald green bracelet sparkled brightly under the light, but now it had a deadly eerie feel to it.

"Father, if this continues, Luyao will not be able to hold on." Wen Ranyan burst into tears, and the handkerchief in her hand had already been half wet. "After all, she is my dowry maid. There must be some misunderstanding."

Prime Minister Wen had a gloomy expression on his face, and completely ignored Wen Ranyan's words.

Everyone in the room was shocked, but Feng Qiwu was the only one who sat there leisurely, watching this unique and wonderful show.

Green-waisted's lips moved, and she looked towards Wen Ranyan with difficulty. She saw that she had already cried like a tearful person, but through the mist of tears, the corners of her lips raised an extremely terrifying arc, weird and cold.

Just one glance and Lu Yao was frightened to death.

This bracelet was clearly given to her by Wen Ranyan.

But at this moment, they actually said that the poisonous insect crawled out of the bracelet.

Thinking of the tea that Wen Ranyan had asked her to bring just now, and the snow pigeon in the cage...all the truth was about to come out in an instant.

Luyao was terrified and her eyes were bloodshot.

The devil Wen Ranyan never wanted to let her live from the very beginning!

She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand with great effort, tremblingly pointing in the direction of Wen Ranyan, as soft as a mosquito: "Yes, yes..."

Wen Ranyan gently stroked the corner of the Supa and looked at Luyao casually.

Hei Yao couldn't hear clearly, so he frowned and moved closer: "What is it?"

Green Waist murmured in a trembling voice: "Yes..."

Wen Ranyan held the Supa in her palm and slowly bent her fingertips. Her movements were natural and smooth, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Coincidentally, before Lu Yao could finish a complete sentence, his head suddenly tilted and he died.

Hei Yao was stunned and rushed to check on Lu Yao's condition, only to find that she was already dead with no chance of recovery. Although his palm strike just now had injured Lu Yao's foundation, it was not enough to cause her death so quickly and suddenly.

What went wrong?

Hei Yao knew that he had failed to notice the situation, so he lowered his eyes and reported, "My Lord, Lu Yao is dead."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wen frowned and his expression became more dull. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but he never expected that this slave girl would die suddenly. It turned out that this dirty thing with a humble background had such a short life.

In the silence, Wen Ranyan once again covered her hands with the handkerchief and sobbed softly.

Prime Minister Wen was upset after hearing this. He put his hand on his temple and said weakly, "Hei Yao, throwing the body of this slave into the mass grave is annoying to me."

Hei Yao immediately dragged Lu Yao's body out. The blood left a long mark on the ground. The bloody smell was nauseating. Prime Minister Wen immediately called the servants to clean up and fumigated with spices to cover up the blood smell.

Wen Ranyan looked at the rising smoke, tears in her eyes still lingering, and that wisp of dark, strange color seemed barely detectable.

Feng Qiwu stroked the teacup and couldn't help but glance at Wen Ranyan, as if thinking about something.

Prime Minister Wen calmed down, waved his sleeves and sat down, and spoke again: "Lord Feng, I made a fool of myself just now."

Feng Qiwu retracted his gaze and said lazily, "I thought there were many people who wanted to kill me, but unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wen was no less capable. Prime Minister, you must investigate matters concerning life and death, and do not let the thieves get into the house again."

Prime Minister Wen took a deep breath, and after a moment, his brows relaxed and he said, "Lord Feng is right. I will investigate thoroughly and not let any thief go."

When he spoke, his gaze lingered on Feng Qiwu for a moment. His cloudy eyes were like an eagle's, and he examined Feng Qiwu for a long time, but he could not make out anything.

He hadn't offended many people, Feng Qiwu was one of them. He had suspected at first that it was Feng Gou who bribed Lu Yao, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was not right. Feng Gou was cunning, bloodthirsty and cruel. If he took action, he would definitely kill him with one blow. Why would he send a worthless maid?

But if it wasn’t Feng Qiwu, who else could it be?

Prime Minister Wen was still lost in thought and didn't even glance at Wen Ranyan.

In his mind, this concubine's daughter only knew how to cry and was really weak and useless.

Wen Ranyan stared at Prime Minister Wen's profile as he fell into deep thought, her eyes moving with a hint of smile.

Since Luyao was so loyal to her master, and now that she has died right under the nose of Prime Minister Wen, she must be smiling in her grave.

Moreover, Green Waist's value was even better than she had imagined. She was testing him out. If the poison worked, Prime Minister Wen would become her puppet. But if it didn't, the one who would die would be only Green Waist.

But now it seems that the effect is quite good. After all, it has also brought out the experts around Prime Minister Wen, so we will be able to know their ins and outs when we need to take action in the future.

Wen Ranyan lowered her eyes and pretended to be frightened and took a sip of tea.

Judging from the current situation, once Luyao dies, Prime Minister Wen will definitely place another spy next to her. However, will Feng Qiwu obediently allow others to do whatever they want?

Wen Ranyan lightly leaned against the edge of the teacup, her red lips curved silently, and everything seemed to be under control.

Perhaps to verify Wen Ranyan's thoughts, Prime Minister Wen was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke again: "Ranyan, Luyao, that slut, is acting ridiculously, so don't think about her. If you are really sad, I will send you another obedient one."

Wen Ranyan's crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly. When she raised her eyes, the unpredictable smile in her eyes disappeared in an instant: "This..."

Prime Minister Wen said, "Stop talking about this and that. How can you live without a maidservant?"

Wen Ranyan was about to agree when Feng Qiwu, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally said slowly, "Prime Minister, do you think that we don't have maids to serve us in the Feng Mansion?"

Prime Minister Wen frowned slightly and said with a fake smile: "What are you talking about? I just feel more comfortable using my own maid."

"Shu Xin?" Feng Qiwu said lightly, directly hitting Prime Minister Wen's sore spot: "Is Shu Xin so happy that he can kill his master?"
