The dark woodshed was filled with a strong stench and musty smell.
The ground was so full of potholes that it was hard to find even a flat spot, especially since there was some dirty water in those pits.
There are mice, ants and insects crawling around on the ground from time to time.
The emaciated Zhizhi was tied to a pillar in the middle of the woodshed.
Her whole body looked haggard, her delicate little face was bloodless at the moment, and there was a shocking wound on her cheek that spread from her eyebrow bone to the corner of her mouth.
The wound was mixed with blood and pus.
What's even more outrageous is that at this moment, a house slave is tearing her already tattered clothes, trying to do something inappropriate.
Su Jinhuan gritted her teeth, opened her eyes full of blood, clenched her fists, and the veins on the back of her hands were pulsing.
Marquis Ling'an naturally saw this scene in front of him.
He was stunned and couldn't say a word.
Su Jinhuan stepped forward, kicked the man to the ground, then grabbed his head and slammed it to the ground, causing blood to flow out.
The man didn't have time to react, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he didn't dare to resist at all.
"Miss...Miss, please spare your life..."
"Dirty bastard, who allowed you to do this to Zhizhi? You dare to touch my people? I think you are tired of living! If you think your life is too long, I will follow your wishes!"
"The younger ones...the younger ones are all under the orders of Mother Fang. Miss, please spare your life!"
Ignoring the pain in his head, the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed tremblingly.
Mother Fang's face turned pale in an instant.
"You despicable thing, your hands and feet are not clean, and you still want to blame me!" Mother Fang turned her head and kowtowed to Marquis Ling'an: "Master Marquis, this matter is really not an old slave. I have been in the Marquis Mansion all these years. Don’t you know what this old slave is like?”
Marquis Ling'an recovered from the shock and was about to speak when Su Jinhuan grabbed Mother Fang's collar: "Steal my clothes, steal my rouge... Don't think I don't know, I I don’t care about you, do you really think I’m a soft persimmon?”
In her last life, she lost a lot of things.
Later, she learned that Su Man had instigated Mother Fang to do it.
Mother Fang is one of her right-hand assistants.
When Marquis Ling'an heard this, he immediately frowned: "You actually stole something!"
"Master Marquis, I really don't have this! The eldest lady is wronged!"
"Do you believe I'm going to search your house right now to see if you've stolen anything?"
Su Jinhuan's eyes were fierce.
Mother Fang panicked and cast a pleading look at Su Man.
"Father." Su Man covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, hating the smell here: "I don't think Mother Fang is such a person. The things in her room are all gifts I give to her. If sister doesn't believe it, Feel free to search."
"Reward?" Su Jinhuan sneered: "The food and clothing expenses in the house are all recorded. Just check the number of rouges in my sister's and Mother Fang's rooms to know whether it was a reward from my sister."
Su Man's face suddenly turned as white as snow.
Why is this idiot Su Jinhuan so smart this time?
She actually knows the account books!
She has never asked about or come into contact with these things in the past! how so!
"Sister, don't you even believe your sister?"
She half-bited her lip, looking pitiful.
"I only believe in evidence!"
Su Jinhuan didn't leave any room for her.
"Father." Su Man turned to look at Ling Anhou again.
He has always been obedient to him, and he will be the same this time.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Ling'an actually agreed with Su Jinhuan.
"Indeed, we need to check!"
Su Man was shocked.
Marquis Ling'an refused to obey her orders.
Su Jinhuan pulled her lips.
Su Man was too naive. Even though Marquis Ling'an doted on her as a father, he was not brainless.
How could I trust Mother Fang again after witnessing how brutally Zhizhi was treated?
"Father, this is not good. If we find out, what will the servants in the house think? They will be disappointed!"
"Man'er, if it is found out that Mother Fang was framed, I will naturally apologize to her personally, but such a slave who steals the master's things cannot be kept. Kindness is a good thing, but it cannot be blindly partial."
After saying this, Su Man was speechless.
She could no longer help Fang's mother to speak.
Mother Fang slumped on the ground helplessly, knowing that she was finished.
After some investigation, it was found that there was indeed a lot of fine rouge in Mother Fang's room, and the amount was astonishing. It was impossible to get it as a reward.
The Marquis of Ling'an was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the entire Marquis Mansion.
Mother Fang was taken away by the housekeeper and sold to Ren Yazi.
Her right-hand man was eliminated, and Su Man became furious.
Su Jinhuan brought Zhizhi back to Lanyuan. She was covered in injuries and remained unconscious.
She asked the housekeeper to buy a large amount of medicinal materials, brew the medicine herself, and take care of Zhizhi.
Fortunately, she arrived in time and Zhizhi was not harmed.
Su Jinhuan wiped her body with red eyes, and then applied medicine little by little.
The wound on her face was caused by a dagger, probably from yesterday. The weather was hot and pus had already flowed out.
She wiped the wound while her hands shook in anger.
Mother Fang, who was worse than a pig or a dog, not only abused Zhizhi like this, but also wanted others to tarnish her innocence. She was really cruel.
"You bastard!" Su Jinhuan's chest heaved violently, her eyes red as she scolded.
She lowered her voice for fear of waking Zhizhi.
Until evening, Zhizhi also woke up, feeling very weak.
She turned her head and saw Su Jinhuan beside the bed. She was stunned for a moment, with surprise and surprise in her eyes.
"Little... miss..."
Su Jinhuan suddenly raised her head: "Zhizhi, you're awake."
"Miss, slave... Is this slave just dreaming? It's really Miss."
She raised her trembling hand, and Su Jinhuan quickly held it, her eyes filled with moisture: "It's not a dream, it's true. Zhizhi, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you."
"I...I'm not..."
Thinking of today's scene, she panicked.
Su Jinhuan quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid, you were not harmed. I have already dealt with that person."
She bribed the servants in the house, and when she took the slave out, she put highly toxic poison in his food.
Letting him die like this would be an advantage to him.
If he hadn't been thinking about Zhizhi, Su Jinhuan would have torn him into pieces.
"Miss, wuwuwu..." Zhizhi hugged her and began to cry: "I thought I would never see the miss in this life."
Su Jinhuan hugged her distressedly, not daring to use force for fear of hurting her.
"Don't worry, from today on, I won't let you be framed again, and Su Man won't even think of using those despicable methods against you."
Zhizhi looked at her, the corners of her lips twitching slightly.
"Miss, actually... the poison in the second lady's meal was given by the slave."
