Chapter 421 The Cake is Destroyed
The smile on Lianzhi's face was a little stiff. She couldn't tell what the feeling was that was surging in her heart. Anyway, her chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable.
Looking at the direction the two people had just come from, Lianzhi walked towards the kitchen.
After a while, Liuli and Lin Tong returned to the kitchen and planned to take the cake back.
As a result, Liuli just walked to the door and almost bumped into Lianzhi who was coming towards her.
"Liuli, be careful." Lin Tong protected Liuli and hugged her slender waist. After making sure that she was not injured, he looked at Lianzhi coldly: "Lianzhi, you sneaked into Beifusi again. I have told you many times that the governor does not allow anyone around Princess Lianhe to enter Beifusi."
Just now, he and Liuli were talking and laughing as they walked over. Lianzhi was so close to the kitchen door that he must have heard their voices and footsteps.
But even so, Lianzhi still rushed out from the blind spot when Liuli opened the door, which is enough to prove that Lianzhi must have done it on purpose!
Thinking that Lianzhi almost hurt Liuli, Lin Tong's face became even gloomier.
"The princess is following the emperor's orders and is taking the Dragon Shadow Guard to cooperate with the governor. The governor has no right to stop the princess, and naturally you have no right either!" Lian Zhi raised his chin forcefully, his words full of provocation.
"Even if we take a step back, the Governor cannot disobey his order. The only ones who can enter the Northern Fusi are Princess Lianhe and the Dragon Shadow Guard. And you are just a maidservant beside Princess Lianhe. If you dare to enter the Northern Fusi without permission, you are disobeying the Governor's order!"
Liuli glanced at Lin Tong beside her and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and drag this woman to the governor and let him decide what to do!"
"You! Just wait for me!" Fear flashed in Lian Zhi's eyes. After saying this, he left without looking back.
Lin Tong looked at Liuli with surprise and felt that Liuli now looked even more charming than usual.
Liuli didn't understand the emotion in Lin Tong's eyes, and muttered: "What are you looking at? I'm not a soft-hearted girl. If you like that kind of weak girl, then you can..."
"I don't like weak women." Lin Tong looked at Liuli deeply, "I just like you."
"Don't be so rude, be careful that others may hear it!" Liuli walked in and took a closer look at the cream cake on the table.
The cream cake looked fine, so Liuli tested it with a silver needle. After confirming that Lianzhi had not tampered with the cake, she and Lin Tong took the cake to the front hall together.
In the front hall, Yi Mobao finally saw Liuli coming with something.
"Don't get me wrong." Yi Mobao was a little embarrassed and cleared his throat and said, "I was just bored at night, so I went to make a cake. I didn't expect that mother promised Yubao to make a cake for you. I chose to help in order not to make mother so hard."
"Well, you've worked hard." Seeing Liuli coming over and placing the cake on the table, Ji Chilian couldn't help but take a few more glances at it: "This is indeed the first time I've seen this. It looks quite special."
"This cake not only looks good, it also tastes great! Daddy, please try it!" Shen Yubao said as he handed the spoon to Ji Chilian.
Ji Chilian scooped a spoonful of cake with a spoon.
Before he could put the cake into his mouth, several maggots rolled out from the cut surface of the cake.
The white maggots were covered with a layer of cream, and as they twisted they left sticky streaks on the plate.
"Ah! Where did these bugs come from!" Shen Yubao said, and quickly cut the cake in front of him with a spoon, "Mom, look, there are bugs in my cake too!"
"This is impossible! This is a cake that my mother and I made. How could there be such disgusting bugs in it?" Yi Mobao said, looking at Yi Qianhuan beside him in confusion.
Yi Qianhuan poked the cake with a spoon and saw several live maggots rolling out from the cracks in the cake.
"Someone must have tampered with this cake." Yi Qianhuan peeled open the cake, revealing a blurry fingerprint mark.
"There are also signs of tampering on mine. Someone must have carefully opened the gap in the cake and stuffed the maggots in. Because of the bumpy ride, the cake doesn't look that complete, which gave the person a chance to hide!" Yi Mobao said this with rage in his eyes, "Who on earth could have done such a disgusting thing!"
He and his mother had worked hard to make this cake and gave it to Duke Du, but something like this happened. Not only did it waste food, it also destroyed his and his mother's good intentions and completely ruined their mood!
"It should be Lianzhi who is beside Princess Lianhe!" Liuli was very angry and immediately told the whole story of how she met Lianzhi. "It was all my fault for being careless and not staying by the cake. That gave Lianzhi the opportunity to do it."
"No, this is the dereliction of duty of the Jinyiwei of the Beifusi. If they had kept an eye on the gate, they would naturally not have given the other party any opportunity to take advantage of." While Ji Chilian was speaking, his cold gaze fell on Lin Tong.
Lin Tong immediately knelt down on one knee to plead guilty: "It is my fault for failing in my duty. Please punish me, Governor."
"I'll give you a chance to make amends. Bring Lianzhi here within half an hour." Ji Chilian's tone was unquestionable.
Lin Tong agreed immediately and left quickly.
It only took Lin Tong a quarter of an hour to catch Lian Zhi back.
Shen Yubao looked at the good cake being ruined by maggots, and her eyes turned red with anger: "You bad guy, why did you ruin the kindness of mother and Mo Bao?"
Lianzhi was thrown heavily to the ground, her elbows and chin hitting the ground, her expression distorted in pain.
I didn't expect that I would be caught so soon. Lian Zhi's eyes were filled with resentment, but she raised her head and said forcefully: "Young Master Shen, I don't know what you are talking about!"
Liuli had been holding back since Lianzhi came over. Seeing Lianzhi still being stubborn, she rushed over in anger and wanted to tear her mouth apart: "How dare you talk nonsense here! Damn bitch, you were the only one who went in and out of the kitchen just now. Who else could it be but you?"
"Do you have any evidence? I am the princess's personal maid. You slander me at will. This is disrespecting the princess! Disrespecting the princess is disrespecting the royal family!" Lian Zhi was panicked and forced himself to calm down.
Anyway, these people have no evidence.
As long as she insists that it wasn't her fault, no one can do anything to her.
"Miss Lianzhi is right. It seems that it is my people who have wronged you. You should apologize to the young lady." Ji Chilian suddenly spoke with a smile as bright as spring breeze on his face.
