Chapter 58 Negotiating Conditions

 Cuiliu moved very quickly. By the time Su Leyun pushed the door open and walked out, the people in the yard were already standing still.

Hong Ye huddled behind the crowd, feeling uneasy.

What are you going to do, Miss?

 Hands were sweating, Hongye wiped his hands on his clothes uneasily.

“I called you here because there is a thief in my yard.”

Su Leyun stood in front of the door, looking at everyone's expressions from a height.

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants fell to their knees and shook their heads to show that it was not them.

 There was a lot of noise in the yard.

Su Leyun frowned and gestured to Lian Xin.

"Quiet!"

Lian Xin took a step forward, and her steady voice made everyone gradually stop talking.

"If you hadn't done it, Miss naturally wouldn't have wronged you." After receiving Su Leyun's signal, Lian Xin continued: "This is not the first time this person has stolen. Miss made preparations after the last theft. Now, you all Come up and put your hand in the water. It will be obvious who the thief is."

 Can you tell who a thief is by putting your hand in the water?

 The people looked at each other, wondering where they had ever seen such a method of catching thieves.

Seeing Lian Xin's serious expression, the servants were puzzled, but they still stepped forward one by one and put their hands into the water one by one.

 Until before the red leaves, I didn’t notice anything strange.

People gathered together and discussed: "Isn't the second lady trying to tease us on purpose?"

“Isn’t it tormenting people to put their hands in this winter?”

The eyes that fell on Su Leyun were a little more dissatisfied.

 At this time, it is the turn of the red leaves.

  She stared at the water, feeling a surge of speculation and fear in her heart.

 What exactly is the second lady going to do?

 Who is the thief to be caught?

The servant behind was a little impatient, "Hongye, hurry up, it's so cold!"

Hongye trembled and his hand fell into the water.

 There seems to be no change.

Hong Ye was delighted. As soon as he took out his hand, he saw a dark green light shining between his fingers.

Her pupils shrank and she wanted to retract her hand, but it was too late.

Lian Xin grabbed her hand and exposed it to everyone.

"what is that?"

 “Why is there light on Hongye’s hand?”

 “Could it be that the thief is Hongye?”

 The servants talked a lot, and they were all surprised. They didn't expect Su Leyun to find the thief.

Su Leyun said: "Let the rest of the people try it too."

 The remaining servants also stretched out their hands and put them into the water, and no one was like Hong Ye.

 In fact, this is a potion that can stimulate the effect of luminous powder.

Su Leyun said slowly: "Aunt Zhang, how should I deal with this person who stole the master's things according to the law?"

"If you reply to the lady, according to the law, you should be punished with eighty sticks and sold out."

Hongye, who was already unsteady on his feet, softened and fell to the ground when he heard this.

Even men can't bear the eighty-eighty slab. How could she, a woman, bear it!

 “Miss, Miss, Hongye didn’t steal anything!”

Hongye struggled to crawl towards Su Leyun's feet and grabbed her trousers with one hand.

Looking down at the red leaves on the ground, Su Leyun slowly bent down: "If you didn't steal anything, how can you explain the green light on your hands?"

Facing Su Leyun's cold eyes, Hongye couldn't help but tremble.

 She really didn’t steal anything!

 “Miss, there really are no red leaves!”

Listening to Hong Ye’s quibbling, Su Leyun suddenly lost interest and pulled his legs back.

"Today is too late. Lock the person up first and punish him tomorrow."

 Soon someone came forward and dragged the red leaves away.

 Lianxin, Cuiliu and Su Leyun entered the house.

"Miss, would you like me to test it out?"

Lian Xin knew that the theft was fake, and the drugging was what Su Leyun really wanted to investigate, but Hongye was still unwilling to tell the story about drugging in front of the 80-year-old board. There must be something threatening her behind it, even more important than her life.

Su Leyun tapped his index finger on the table and said after a while: "Then go and try it."

 She couldn't let the drugging incident be exposed so easily, so she could only find a breakthrough in Hongye.

 In the cold woodshed, Hong Ye huddled in the corner, shaking all over.

What should she do?

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open. Hongye looked over in surprise and saw Lian Xin coming in with a coat.

Lian Xin knelt down, put her coat on Hong Ye, and handed over the small heater in her hand.

 “Warm yourself up.”

 “Sister Lianxin…”

Hong Ye’s hands felt hot, and tears suddenly came to her eyes.

“Sister Lianxin, please beg me for mercy. I really didn’t steal anything.”

“Hongye, the lady knows best whether you have stolen anything or not.”

 Lian Xin’s eyes met Hong Ye’s words, word by word.

Hong Ye’s heart tightened, her eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly understood what Lian Xin meant.

 She didn’t steal anything, but she poisoned the lady!

"The reason why Miss locked you up first is to give you a chance." Lian Xin stood up and looked down at Hongye, "Tell the truth in exchange for your own life. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on you."

Seeing Lian Xin turn around to leave, Hong Ye panicked, the small heater in her hand fell to the ground, and she grabbed Lian Xin.

 “Sister Lianxin, please save me!”

 “I can’t save you, you can only save yourself.”

Lian Xin looked at Hong Ye, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Hong Ye’s hands on her trousers tightened. There were so many thoughts in her mind, but she couldn’t express them.

Looking at Hong Ye’s eyes filled with confusion, Lian thought for a moment and asked, “Do you still remember Chun Xing?”

Hongye looked at her and moved his mouth.

 How could she not remember?

 Chunxing hit her head against a stone pillar and died. She witnessed it with her own eyes.

That horrific scene gave her nightmares for several nights.

 “If a person dies, there is really nothing left.”

Lian Xin said her last words, ignored Hong Ye, and walked towards the door.

 “Sister Lianxin, I say! I am willing to say it!”

 The house is still brightly lit.

Hong Ye was brought into Su Leyun’s room by Lian Xin.

 “Miss, the red leaves are here.”

Su Leyun held the poisoned facial cream in his hand, and the weight in it had increased a lot.

I'm afraid that what happened tonight will make Su Waner even more unable to sit still.

Face Cream was thrown in front of Hongye. She was startled by the sound of Face Cream falling to the ground, and her shoulders shrank sharply.

 “Tell me, who asked you to do this?”

Su Leyun had the answer in his heart, and asking one more question was just to let Lian Xin and Cuiliu who were present know in their minds that there was no good fault in the Marquis Mansion.

Hongye moved her lips and kowtowed deeply, "Miss, Hongye doesn't dare to hide it, but I hope that the lady can promise Hongye something."

"You want to negotiate terms with me?" Su Leyun couldn't help but laugh, "Hongye, if you want to save yourself, you can only choose me. Your master can easily give up Chun Xing, do you think she will help you?"

 “Miss, you...”

Hongye raised her head and looked at Su Leyun in disbelief. She clearly hadn't said who it was yet, but the second lady seemed to know it.

“There are only a few masters in this house, do you think I’m too stupid to guess?”

Su Leyun felt a little guilty when she said this. If she had not been born again, she would not have guessed it.

 But now that she is reborn, of course she must seize this opportunity and take revenge if she has any grudges.

"Miss, let me tell you!" Hongye took a deep breath, "The eldest lady asked me to do this!"

Hongye actually felt a little relaxed after saying these words.

"The eldest lady captured my family and forced me to poison your facial cream. The remaining poisonous powder was put in my pillow. I really didn't mean to harm you, the second lady. Please spare me, the second lady!"
