Qingying frowned, her frown deepening as she suddenly realized: "This … You. You're not going to tell me that. You did it! "

Qiu Ju cried even louder. Qingying was afraid that her crying would alarm the others, so she quickly covered her mouth!

Qiujie looked at her blankly, and Qingying sighed. Seeing that she was no longer crying, she put her hand down. "What do you want me to say to you? "The most important thing to be a slave is loyalty. You did this because you want Lady Xu to never trust you again."

Her words made Qiuju lower her head in silence.

Sighing, Qingying said with a serious face: "Since you've already told me today, tell me honestly, why did you do this? If you say it out loud, I can then think of a way for you. Otherwise, I don't even know who you are trying to find a way out for. "

"Sister Qingying, you have a way?" When Qiu Ju heard this, her eyes lit up, "I …"

"The method was thought up by a person," Qingying said in a serious tone, "But you have to tell me, why did you do it? Did Second Wife ask you to do it, or Master Four? What good did they promise you? "

Seeing her serious face, Qiu Ju hesitated for a while and then answered like she was going to throw caution to the wind, "I … It was the second wife, and although I had bought it directly from a man, the second wife had already told me, long before I went to the man, that if I listened to her, she would let me serve the young lady of the house, with a light job and a warm meal, and go out in a more respectable manner than the average girl in a small household.

Then, sure enough, I was selected by Second Young Madam and placed in the two ladies' room. The last time Miss Yue went to the manor, she took away Spring Grass and Xia He. Dong Mei and I naturally became Lady Xu's people.

And I've always kept to the second wife's words and helped her keep an eye on Lady Xu. "

As he spoke, his head drooped lower and lower.

Although she didn't learn the rules from studying in the mansion, she had long since listened to the warning that "loyal servants don't cause trouble for the two masters." She had long since become as hateful as the traitor in the script.

"Second Wife promised you all these benefits, and there's nothing else?"

Not knowing the depth of her words, Qiu Ju hesitated before hurriedly replying, "There will be some rewards from time to time."

Qingying scoffed, "I bribed you for these little favors, do you know what crime you committed this time? If the girl really turns you over, then you just wait and see what will happen to you! Selling it from a distance is already good enough. I'm afraid that the old lady will be angered and sell you to a brothel.

"You haven't heard of the old lady's methods in the past, so you're just scared."

Qiu Ju shuddered at these words, tears flowing immediately. "Sister, sister save me, I …"

"If you have the skills, why don't you beg the second wife?" Qingying's face was somewhat unsightly, but she quickly said, "That's right, if something like this happened, I'm afraid Second Madam won't be able to get rid of you, so why would she pick you up?"

Qiuju looked at her blankly.

Early in the morning, the west wing of the courtyard was in an uproar. The old lady had just woken up and hurriedly told her mother to go over to take a look.

After a while, Song Shuhang's mother came back. "She said that one of Lady Xu's Flowing Gold Phoenixes has gone missing and is causing a ruckus!"

When the old lady heard this, she said angrily, "Everything is fine. Why is the girl's stuff gone? It must have been some blind person who had been taken away, that's all. "

Right now, it was time to pay respects in the morning. The people from the third room had all come over. Zhou Ruyun couldn't help but feel curious when she heard the commotion over there.

Then, he saw the two sisters come out together, their expressions seemed to be a little ugly. They hurriedly walked up and whispered to Chu Yuehua, "What happened? How come both you and sister Xu look so terrible this early in the morning?

Very quickly, Mama Song let everyone in. The old lady didn't look too good, so the crowd didn't joke around like they usually did.

Mrs Deng saw that the scene was really cold, so she smiled and asked the old lady: "I don't think the old lady is very happy, but did she not sleep well last night?"

Mistress Yang served tea to the old lady while she smiled and said, "Could it be that you want to eat something last night in the middle of the night? Did that girl Qingying refute it for you again?"

Hearing that, Qingying quickly laughed: "How would I dare? Last time, the old lady wanted to eat peaches. I tried to persuade her for half a day, but she was unable to do so, so the next day I complained to my wives and grandmothers about it. I'm really worried now, if I offend the old lady, she might kick me out. "

This was something that happened to the old lady a while ago when she was not well. Although Qingying was a bit too much, but it was for the old lady's own good. At that time, the old lady said that the girl was sensible and thought for her.

Now that she said this, it made everyone smile. It was warmer than before.

"Girl, once you open your mouth, you seem to be at a loss of what to do. It seems that I have always spoiled you too much!" The old lady mumbled with a faint smile.

He then slowly put away his smile. "I was indeed not in a good mood this morning. How can I be in a good mood because of the incident that happened in my yard?"

Hearing this, Chu Xuanhua immediately stood up, "It's all my fault, I made the old lady unhappy."

"Humph!" The old lady coldly snorted, "Of course it's your fault. How did your room become like this?"

These words caused everyone to stop smiling and look worriedly at the old lady.

Mrs Deng quickly asked: "What do you mean by that? What happened to that perfectly fine girl Xu? If you do something wrong, quickly apologize to the old lady. The old lady usually dotes on you the most, and if you admit your fault, the old lady will forgive you. "

Chu Xuohua's eyes were red. He was already feeling wronged, but this made him even more upset, "I was wrong. Old lady, don't be angry."

"So I raised you for so many years and taught you a trash!"

The old lady had been kind most of the time. When had she ever been so tyrannical? What's more, towards her favorite granddaughter, all the sounds in the room suddenly disappeared.

The maidservants above could not even hear the slightest sound of coughing.
