ARDA - Chapter 94 - I shouldn't have lied

 Lin's body swayed when she saw the shocking blood on the ground and the broken porcelain bottle.

Nanny Qin quickly said, "Madam, it was this damn girl who sneaked into the pharmacy and broke the third young master's medicine! This old slave saw it clearly. She took the porcelain bottle containing the medicinal blood from the shelf... and then broke it. 

Aunt Qin was afraid of getting into trouble, so she hurriedly made it clear.

At the same time, she pointed at Binglan and yelled, "You damn girl! Don't you know that no one is allowed to enter the pharmacy? What's your intention of sneaking in!"

Binglan was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs trembled.

"Wait a minute." A calm voice came. Jiang Ning walked over and pointed at the porcelain bottle on the shelf. "The porcelain bottle containing the medicinal blood broke. What is this?"

Nanny Qin looked up and she didn't notice the shelf because she was in a panic. But now she saw that there was a porcelain bottle on the shelf!

"This, this..."

Jiang Ning took the porcelain bottle from the shelf, opened the stopper, and took a look, "There is blood in this too."

Nanny Qin's face was filled with disbelief. How could there be two porcelain bottles?

"What's going on? I clearly saw this dead girl smashing the porcelain bottle on the shelf..."

Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Binglan, "It seems that she was planning to secretly exchange the two porcelain bottles, but we happened to bump into her and she accidentally broke them in a panic."

"What?" Nanny Qin's face changed drastically, and she suddenly remembered something, "Yes! The old slave saw it! This girl took the porcelain bottle from the shelf, and then secretly took out another one and put it on top!"

As soon as Nanny Qin's words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Lin's face turned pale and she stared at Binglan for a moment, "A blood exchange?"

Binglan finally couldn't bear the pressure, her legs softened, and she slumped to the ground.

Madam Lin is usually gentle and kind, and rarely gets angry, but now her face is gloomy. Someone took her son's medicine without authorization and secretly replaced the most important ingredient.

Madam Lin tightened her handkerchief and shouted angrily, "You are so brave!"

Binglan's body went limp and she was trembling all over, "Madam, I... I..."

"What are your intentions! Why do you want to change Lan'er's medicine!" Madam Lin stared at Binglan coldly, wishing to peel off a layer of skin.

"No, I, I..." Binglan's mind went blank and she couldn't speak clearly.

Madam Lin was trembling with anger. She didn't expect that there would be someone with evil intentions in the house who secretly changed Lan'er's medicine, "Speak!"

Binglan was speechless. She couldn't say that the second lady ordered her to do it.

Madam Lin was shaking all over, feeling her blood flowing backward, and her face was filled with anger. Normally, she would have been so angry that she passed out long ago, but after taking the Shiquan Dabu Pills that Jiang Ning secretly added to the tea, her physical condition improved. 

Madam Lin said coldly, "Mother Gui, pull her down!"

"Yes." Aunt Gui looked unkind and stared at Binglan with cold eyes. She dared to secretly change the blood medicine. She was so courageous!

Binglan will be dragged down by the servants. If this continues, she will be found guilty of murdering the third young master.

Binglan shouted out in desperation, "No! I didn't! This is all the Second Young Lady's orders!"

Everyone fell silent, and Madam Lin looked at Binglan, "What did you say?"

Binglan has no way out. If she continues like this, she will be dragged down and beaten to death with sticks. 

Everyone was stunned, but it was Nanny Qin who reacted first and yelled angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, you damn girl! This porcelain bottle contains the medicinal blood of the second lady. How could the second lady instruct you to exchange the blood!"

Yes, everyone nodded.

Even if you tell lies, you still have to be presentable.

How could the second young lady instruct the slave to secretly change the blood medicine? To save the third young master, the second young lady cut her own hands twice. The blood flowed horizontally and it hurt even to look at it.

How could she make a move like letting someone secretly exchange blood? Even if he thought with his toes, he would not believe such a lie.

Binglan was about to cry. She couldn't care less and confessed everything.

"It was really the second lady who ordered this servant to go!"

"The blood in that porcelain bottle is not the second lady's blood at all, but the blood of a maid named Axiu in Villa. That maid's blood is the real medicinal blood!" Binglan said everything.

Madam Lin was stunned when she heard this and didn't react for a long time, "You, what did you say?"

Binglan told exactly what the second Miss had ordered.

There was a bang in Lin's head as if struck by lightning, and everything went blank.

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect to hear such a big secret. The Second Miss was not born with medicinal blood at all. There was someone else who had the medicinal blood. The Second Miss asked the maid to quietly get the blood and then exchange it.

"How is this possible...how could the Second Miss do this?"

"Has the Second Miss been deceiving everyone all this time?"

The truth was so shocking that the servants couldn't believe it.

But the facts are before their eyes. Binglan is the personal maid beside the Second Miss, and Nanny Qin saw Binglan secretly change the porcelain bottles on the shelf.

Among them, Lin was the one who suffered the greatest impact. Her figure was shaky and she almost fell over.

Aunt Gui quickly supported Madam Lin with quick eyes and hands, "Madam..."

Nanny Qin on the side came to her senses and yelled loudly, "You are so stupid, you dare to talk nonsense when you are about to die! How could the Second Miss do something to deceive the madam and the third young master? Stop talking nonsense." 

"I didn't lie..." Binglan shook her head, trembling with fear, "You'll find out if you go and inquire. I just came back from the Villa. There was a maid named Axiu in the Villa who had a wound on her hand."

Everyone looked at Lin.

Madam Lin clenched her handkerchief tightly, her figure was shaky, and she said nothing.

At this time, in the yard next door, Jiang Mengyue heard the noise and came over. She had a bad feeling in her heart as if something was about to happen.

When Jiang Mengyue walked to the yard and saw Binglan kneeling in the middle, her face turned pale and her breathing stopped for a moment.

Oh No.

The servants raised their faces to look at Jiang Mengyue, and their eyes looked strange when they saw her.

Jiang Mengyue walked over step by step, holding the handkerchief tightly under her sleeves as she walked, her knuckles turning pale and making a squeaking sound.

"Mother..." she called out.

Madam Lin looked at Jiang Mengyue with a hint of hope in her eyes, "Yue'er, is what she said true? Have you ever sent that maid to the Villa to collect blood?"

Jiang Mengyue's face turned pale instantly, and a hole was torn out of her handkerchief.

What a waste!

If she fails to succeed, she fails. She can't even do this little thing. If she does it herself, no one will find out!

She scolded Binglan thousands of times in her heart.

But what can I do? My mother already knows about the matter...

Madam Lin moved her steps, still holding a glimmer of hope in her heart, "Yue'er, is what that maid said true?"

Jiang Mengyue bit her lower lip, her face was pale, her figure was shaky like the withered leaves in autumn, and she knelt down on the ground, "Mom, what she said is true."

"You, you..." The last hope in Lin's heart was wiped out, and the ruthless facts crushed her.

Lin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and trembled all over. It took a while before she opened her eyes, "Why did you do this? Why do you treat other people's blood as your own?"

"Mother!" Jiang Mengyue shed tears and looked pitiful.

"This was a mistake. When my third brother got sick, you took the blood of everyone in the house, including me and the maid Axiu next to me, but the servant accidentally exchanged my blood with Axiu's blood. So everyone mistakenly thought that it was my blood that saved the third brother. 

"I originally wanted to tell the truth, but at that time everyone in the house was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say it... When I remembered it, it was already a long time later." Jiang Mengyue shed tears, her face was pale, and her body was shaking constantly.

Madam Lin was full of disappointment. She never thought that her daughter would do such a thing.

"Then why don't you tell the truth this time?"

She taught her daughter to be a decent person and not to do bad things, but her daughter's behavior disappointed her this time.

Jiang Mengyue swayed, bit her lower lip, and then raised her face, "Mother, I'm afraid..."

"My sister is back. I'm so afraid that my mother won't want me... If I save my third brother, my mother and my third brother won't not want me..." As she spoke, she cried weakly, like porcelain that was about to break. 

"Mother, it was my fault, I shouldn't have lied..."
