"Mother Rong", the eldest lady regained her composure in an instant, and the moment she spoke, she was full of dignity: "You are an old man who has been with me for many years. I see that you are a man of duty and sincerely protect the Lord, so I sent you to the third young master—" ——How do you take care of the third young master now? I have repeatedly told Xi'er that Xi'er's health is not good. Every time he is sick, I will send the best medicinal materials to him. But Xi'er got a cold yesterday, why didn't you come and tell me!? Those who didn't know thought that my mother was mean to Xi'er! Tell me! What do you care about?"

Hearing these words, Leng Xi was very grateful on his face, but sneered in his heart—good!Well said!The eldest lady is indeed a master of the inner house. Once she said this, anyone would think that the eldest lady is loyal and a good mistress who treats Leng Xi as her own. Heart born of greed, unfaithful to the Lord!

Sure enough, the old lady's complexion softened, and she said majesticly, "Speak clearly, otherwise this kind of slave who betrays the master and begs for honor will be dragged out immediately and killed with a rod, so as to make an example to others!"

"Old madam! Madame! Please spare me! Slave says, all slaves say!" Mother Rong took a peek at Da Furen, saw that she nodded slightly, and immediately plopped down on the ground, saying with a terrified expression.

"It's all the third young master, it's all the third young master ordered the slaves to do—"

"What did he order you to do? Mother Rong, I warn you, slandering the master will cost you your life!" The eldest lady seemed concerned, but there was a cruel light in the depths of her eyes.

"I don't dare! I swear to the sky, if there is even half a lie in what I want to say next, I will let my servant be struck by thunder, and I will die without peace!"

After swearing tremblingly, Mother Rong suddenly raised her eyes, looked at the silent Leng Xi in despair, and howled mournfully: "Third Young Master, don't blame your servants for what happened back then. At that time, the servant was the first to disagree, but you said "it's okay", and the servant dared to help you. Now that the old lady and the lady have spoken, you should admit it..."

"Mother, what is this old slave talking about?" Leng Ling was also afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and looked surprised.

"Third Young Master..." Seeing Leng Xi's eyes lowered speechlessly, Rong's mother thought he was helpless, so she boldly burst out, "No matter how short of money you are, you shouldn't sell your winter clothes! If you get sick like this, if your madam is worried and doesn’t say anything, it will make outsiders think you are trying to sow discord and uglify your wife’s image!"

"What did you say?"

As soon as Mother Rong said this, not only Leng Ling who was waiting to watch the excitement froze, but even the old lady blurted out in surprise!

"Mother Rong!" Da furen said hello secretly, but her face was full of panic, "You old slave, are you crazy!? Stop talking nonsense!"

She secretly gave Rong's mother a wink, signaling her to continue acting, but she turned to the direction of the old lady and Leng Xi, and said word by word: "Old lady, I believe our Xi'er is definitely not such a vicious person!"

"..." After the old lady was shocked, she was reluctant to believe it, "Xi'er, what do you say?"

To everyone's surprise, Leng Xi, who had been silent since the beginning of this farce, actually frowned and laughed.

His bright and sarcastic smile, in this quiet and depressing big room, seemed a little unreal, but like a high god, he looked through the mortal world with cold eyes.

"You..." The lady's right eye twitched wildly from his inexplicable smile, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.But before she could stop worrying, Leng Xi suddenly knelt down towards the old lady and kowtowed heavily!
