The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 176 Chilling

King Jing glanced at her indifferently and said, "Lock her in the dungeon first!"

Jing Wu saluted, "Yes!"

Having said that, he took Ping An away.

Concubine An, who was still waiting in the courtyard for his safe return, suddenly heard the news and felt like the sky was falling.

She quickly grasped the hand of the maid beside her, trembling all over and saying, "Will the prince be angry?!"

Concubine An was so frightened that she started to cry: "The prince already hates Rui'er and me. If this gets involved in other things, what will happen to Rui'er and me for the rest of our lives?"

Shunxin, the maid who served Concubine An, felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.

Ever since Concubine An gave birth to the fourth prince and King Jing disliked her, her life became increasingly difficult.

Now the whole courtyard is managed by Ping'an alone, and it took Ping'an a lot of effort to raise the fourth young master.

Now that Ping'an was framed and killed, Concubine An was only worried about herself and the Fourth Young Master, and never asked Ping'an a single question.

Ping'an is absolutely loyal to Concubine An.

How could Concubine An's reaction not chill the hearts of the maids like Shunxin?

After Concubine An had been muttering for a long time, she quietly reminded: "Master, the most urgent thing now is to rescue Sister Ping'an."

Concubine An seemed to suddenly understand and nodded quickly, "You're right! Save Ping An first!"

"She was imprisoned in the dungeon by the prince. I'm afraid she must have suffered greatly..."

But after agreeing, Concubine An felt very scared.

Let her go to King Jing to plead for mercy... When she thought of this scene, she suddenly felt like backing off.

Concubine An whispered, "Ping'an was implicated in the murder of the Fifth Young Master, causing the prince to be furious... If we want to save Ping'an, I'm afraid we'll have to ask the prince for help."

"But the prince already hates me. If he sees me, he'll get even angrier...what should I do?"

Shunxin gritted her teeth, extremely angry, "You have to go even if you're angry!"

Now Shunxin only regrets that she didn't spend more money and find a way to enter Chunshanyuan or Songyayuan to become a second-class maid.

Meeting such a master, she could only sigh inwardly at her bad luck, and had to take the trouble to coax her into giving advice.

Shunxin explained to Concubine An: "Ping'an is your trusted maid. She was slandered and accused of murdering the Fourth Young Master. How can you escape responsibility?"

"If you can't clear your suspicion, Sister Ping'an will be the criminal, and you will become the mastermind!"

When Concubine An heard this, she was completely distraught and said absentmindedly, "But, but I didn't ask Ping An to harm the Fifth Young Master!"

Shunxin looked at Concubine An in astonishment: "Master, do you also doubt Sister Ping'an?!"

Concubine An: "Of course I believe Ping An. But the people sent by the prince said that the evidence is conclusive... I don't know, I really don't know."

It was November and charcoal was burning in the house, but Shunxin felt a chill in his heart.

The master's words only showed his concern for himself, without any intention of considering Ping An at all.

Shunxin suppressed her nausea and gave Concubine An some advice.

Let her go and plead with the prince, or confess to the prince everything she knows.

Whether she knew it or not, she had to express her opinion to King Jing.

Be a little ruthless, kneel down and beg, and try to get a chance for peace.

After all, protecting Ping An is protecting herself!

But Concubine An responded well, but when it was time to go on stage, she didn't even dare to step out of the gate and could only hide in the room out of fear.

Shunxin was so angry that he almost died.

There was chaos in Concubine An's courtyard, but Wan Linlang's Xiuyue Pavilion was dead silent.

When she returned to the yard, she sent away all the servants, leaving only the broken porcelain and jade.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Suici only felt his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.

Wan Linlang raised her hand and swept away the cheap teacups on the table.

There was a loud bang, and Shattered Porcelain was so frightened that his face turned as white as paper, and he knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Master, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!"

"This servant is truly innocent. It was Yuezhi who was biting me without reason..."

Looking at Wan Linlang's gloomy face, Suici trembled all over and said incoherently: "This servant was wrong. This servant really knows that he was wrong."

"I shouldn't have hidden my affair with Zhao Wu!"

"And Yuezhi threatening me..."

"Enough!" There was no trace of anger on Wan Linlang's face, only a calm expression as dark as water.

But it was precisely because of this that the broken porcelain who served her personally felt horrible.

She knows her master best.

Even though Wan Linlang just pleaded for her in Chunshan Courtyard, she actually wanted to kill her in her heart!

Suici knew that Suijin, the girl who used to serve her master, fell ill for no reason because she had made her master unhappy.

Later, he was transferred to Dongxueyuan to look after the yard, and his illness suddenly healed.

How can one not be afraid of one's master, who is a former medical doctor and whose methods are vicious and ruthless, and whose mood is unpredictable?

Wan Linlang looked at the broken porcelain gravely, and after a long moment, she cursed, "Idiot!"

As soon as she spoke, the broken porcelain and jade couldn't help but tremble.

Wan Linlang sneered, "It's okay if you hide so many things from me."

"If you had the guts, you should have kept the matter a secret! But you had to let someone use it to frame you and implicate me. How stupid and incompetent!"

"You know you're incompetent and cowardly, unable to even control Yuezhi, yet you refuse to speak a word to me. You're simply stupid to the extreme!"

"If you hadn't acted so foolishly, how could I be so passive today?!"

"What a fool who has caused so much harm to others!"

If she wasn't just a concubine and it wasn't easy to change her maids frequently, she would have replaced the stupid Suici long ago!

I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and kept her until now!

Now that the broken porcelain has caused trouble and everyone is watching, it will be difficult for her to deal with the maid.

Not only that, she also had to prepare a dowry for her as King Jing had instructed and marry her happily.

For a moment, Concubine Wan felt a tightness in her chest and a bloody taste in her throat.

Even when she was framed in Chunshanyuan today, she was not so angry and depressed.

Suici didn't dare to argue, but just knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Wan Linlang glanced at her with disgust, "Alright, get out of here and kneel down!"

"Don't be an eyesore here!"

"Yes!" Broken Ci was as if he had been pardoned, and he knelt and crawled to the outer room.

It is now November, and although there is a charcoal brazier burning in the outer room, it is much colder than the inner room.

People coming and going lifted the curtains, letting in a gust of cold wind that made the broken porcelain man kneeling on the ground shiver.

Even the wound from kneeling on the broken porcelain pieces was numb to the point where I couldn't feel the pain anymore.

After Wan Linlang drove Suici out, Suiyu tactfully stepped forward and handed her the tea.

"Master, drink some tea to moisten your throat first, and then slowly scold the broken porcelain."
