Chapter 1668, testing poisons is too lenient for you.
"No... Don’t!" Wei Qingyi screamed in horror, "I don’t want to go, I don’t want to test poisons!" Those lowly servants who test poisons all lead miserable lives, poorly fed and clothed, confined in a house under supervision, without freedom, tormented by poisons daily. If one poison test doesn’t kill, there will always be another that does.
The housekeeper Wei Tang received the news and had been observing the situation outside the courtyard, not daring to rush in without the Valley Master’s summon, never expecting things to turn out this way.
He absolutely couldn’t watch his daughter’s tragic fate unfold. He hurriedly ran into the courtyard and knelt before Xiao Yuchuan, "Valley Master, I beg you to spare Qingyi. Considering my unwavering loyalty to you for over five years, Qingyi, although she defied you, it was out of affection. She is not a bad person, just straightforward in temperament, acted out of impulse, understandable given the circumstances. Please, forgive her..."
"Straightforward in temperament, not a bad person?" Xiao Yuchuan’s mouth curled with sarcasm, "A person who falsely accused Su Xingyun of indecency? So-called affection, a lowly maid who dares to dream of becoming the Valley Master’s Wife?"
"This..." Wei Tang was momentarily speechless.
Yang An pleaded bitterly, "Valley Master, I implore you to spare Qingyi. I am willing to go to the poison testing room in her place."
"No need for you to replace her." Xiao Yuchuan’s face was cold as ice, "A subordinate captivated by a woman is of no use to me. I shall grant your wish and send you both to test poisons together."
Yang An had anticipated that his obsession with Qingyi made him useless to the Valley Master, no longer pleading, he only said, "Thank you, Valley Master, for granting my wish." He gave Wei Qingyi a bitter smile, "Qingyi, let us be destiny mandarins."
