“Men, lock her up.”

Mother Zhang’s expression immediately changed after hearing the old woman’s words. Her gaze was sharp as she ordered the guards to lock the old woman in the woodshed to guard her.

“Old Madam, I’m doing this for Madam’s good.”

The old woman did not expect Mother Zhang to lock her up and was so scared that she hurriedly begged for mercy. However, Mother Zhang did not have the time to deal with her at this moment. She waved her hand at the guard and ordered sternly,

“Take her away and shut her mouth.”

The maids and servants in the courtyard did not know what had happened. Old Madam w.a.n.g, who was locked up, used to be very favored. How did she suddenly offend the old lady?

At this moment, the old lady was in a fit of anger, and no one dared to plead for Old Madam w.a.n.g. The guards went over and pulled Old Madam w.a.n.g, who was crying and begging for mercy, up. They stuffed a torn cloth in her mouth and pulled her to the firewood room in the backyard.

Su Qing was suturing Luan Hong’s wound in the room. She frowned when she heard the commotion outside. At this moment, Luan Hong’s life and death were unknown. What was the commotion outside?

After Luan Hong’s wound was st.i.tched up, Su Qing sprinkled a medicinal powder that would promote healing without leaving a scar on the wound. She wrapped it with gauze and covered Luan Hong with a thin blanket.

Luan Hong had only used half of the blood she had just drawn. The rest was stored in the system. Those who need it in the future can use it.

After dealing with Luan Hong, Su Qing carried the child out of the system and kept her in the thermal insulation chamber for a while. The child’s skin became ruddy, but she was still frail and needed to be taken care of carefully.

Su Qing gave the child some meat lingzhi water. The little girl drank it happily. The meat lingzhi water had the function of strengthening the body. Su Qing decided to leave the meat lingzhi in the Zhang residence and let them give the child some lingzhi water every day. When the child’s body became stronger, they would take it away.

When she woke up, Su Qing had just finished feeding the child with water. She still looked frail. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to ask about the child,

“Qing ‘ er, how is the child?”

“She’s very good. She’s a beautiful little girl.

Su Qing wrapped the child in a small bag and placed her next to Luan Hong’s pillow. The child seemed to feel her mother and instinctively turned to Luan Hong. Her eyes were even slightly open. Perhaps she felt wronged; she pouted and cried.

“Don’t cry.”

Luan Hong was anxious to carry the child, but Su Qing held her.

After holding Luan Hong, Su Qing asked her,

“Why did you suddenly fall?”

“I wanted to sit by the pond for a while today. When I walked out of the courtyard, I felt my feet slipped like I had stepped on something. Then, I fell.” When Luan Hong heard Su Qing’s question, she recalled that she seemed to have stepped on something. She had been cautious since she was pregnant. She wouldn’t have fallen if it weren’t for her slippery feet.

Su Qing felt that something was wrong. She checked the clothes that Luan Hong had changed out of. The back of the clothes was full of mud and blood.

She found they were gone when she wanted to look for her shoes.

“Where are your shoes?”

Su Qing asked Luan Hong. Some people wanted to harm the pregnant woman, so they either threw some fruit peels on the ground or smeared some oil on the soles of their shoes. If the shoes were missing, there was a problem.

“I don’t remember. I fell, and my stomach hurt badly.

Luan Hong shook her head. At that time, she was only in pain. How could she care about finding shoes?

“Who were you with?”

Su Qing asked Luan Hong if she knew, but those maids should know. “Qiuhong and Chunyan have been by my side the whole time. Granny w.a.n.g came to take care of me. Two servants in the courtyard were cleaning the courtyard. When I fell, they ran over.”

Luan Hong owned a winery, so her memory was perfect. She could remember people with just one look, not to mention that these people were her family’s elders.

“Have a good rest. I’ll go out and tell your mother-in-law to rest a.s.sured.” Su Qing nodded and remembered their names so Luan Hong could rest well. She carried the child out of the room.

Outside the house, the old lady’s heart dropped when she heard the child cry. However, she was still worried when she did not receive news that her daughter-in-law was safe. She kept looking nervously at the door. When the door opened, the old lady hurriedly went to welcome her.

“Thank you for saving her life, Empress. How is Luan Hong?

The old lady only glanced at the child before anxiously asking about her daughter-in-law. Luan Hong was already her daughter in the old lady’s heart. “Luan Hong is fine. Send someone to clean up and make some chicken soup for her.”

Su Qing was happy that Old Madam Zhang was concerned about Luan Hong. She nodded to comfort the old lady and showed the child to the old lady.

“She gave birth to a daughter.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

When the old lady heard that her daughter-in-law was okay, she went to take a good look at her granddaughter. Because Su Qing had placed her in the system’s thermal insulation warehouse and had given the child Lingzhi water to drink, the child looked very energetic and had a pair of black eyes.

The old lady liked her granddaughter very much. She didn’t have a daughter, so she liked her granddaughter very much.

“Old Madam, I want a few people to come out for questioning.”

Su Qing told the old lady after handing the child to the nanny.

“Alright, Empress, please speak.”

Old Lady Zhang nodded in agreement. Su Qing called the names according to Luan Hong’s words.

” Qiuhong, Chunyan, Granny w.a.n.g, Laifu, Qing ’an.”

Qiu Hong and Chun Yan stood out first. What did the Empress call them for? They were trembling in fear.

Lafu and Qing An stood beside Qiuhong nervously. They were also afraid. They heard that the Empress killed without batting an eye. It was not good to call them out, right?

“Still missing one person?”

“Where’s Granny w.a.n.g?” Su Qing asked the old Madam when she saw only four of them.

“Replying to the Empress, Granny w.a.n.g slandered the Empress, so I sent someone to lock her in the woodshed.”

When Old Madam Zhang heard Su Qing’s question, she remembered that Old Madam w.a.n.g had run to speak ill of the Empress and was locked up by her.

“She said bad things about me?”

Su Qing raised an eyebrow. This made Old Madam w.a.n.g even more suspicious. “Yes, Old Madam w.a.n.g said that the hospital you opened killed pregnant women to make pills. She was afraid that you would kill Luan Hong, too.” The old lady nodded. When she repeated Old Madam w.a.n.g’s words, she looked at Su Qing worriedly, afraid that she would get angry.

The old lady was old but not muddle-headed. Such words were treasonous. If they were to spread, their entire family would be executed. That was why they had captured Old Madam w.a.n.g and waited for the Empress to come out to hand her over to prevent the entire Zhang family from being harmed.

“Ha, the rumors have already spread to your residence.

Su Qing sneered. This was the second time she had heard of killing a pregnant woman to refine pills. It was hard to be a good person! She had saved the reputation of a demoness who could bring disaster to the country.

Old Lady Zhang looked at Su Qing nervously, afraid she would blame the Zhang family. Su Qing took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart. Her gaze swept sharply across the four of them and asked in a deep voice,

“Have any of you have seen your madam’s shoes?”

“Shoes? I didn’t see it. At that time, Madam saw red. We were hurrying to find a doctor and didn’t notice.”

The two maids hurriedly shook their heads. Lafu wanted to say something but hesitated.

” What did you see?” Su Qing asked when she saw Lafu’s strange expression..
