Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 143 Punishment detailed operation, secret treasure (4)
"Today, I want to see who is causing chaos in the mansion again and again, and there is no peace."

Zuiman shuddered again, not daring to look directly into the master's sharp eyes.

The old man snorted coldly, "Say, what's going on? Don't play any tricks on me. If you don't want me to torture you, just tell me honestly."

Drunkman shuddered, his face pale.Did the Elder believe in Chen Shi without listening to her excuse?At this moment, Drunkman felt sad and self-deprecating like never before.It turned out that everything was just her own cleverness.

Shen Shi was also a little surprised by the elder master's actions, but more moved.Then he said kindly to Zuiman: "Duiman, human nature is good, I believe you are just confused for a while. Tell me, who made you do this? What kind of benefits did that person promise you?"

Zuiman hated Shen's soft and weak pretentious appearance the most, she argued unwillingly: "Master, this servant has never had the intention of harming my aunt, how can I explain it?" She sniffed, and then With a look of pear blossoms and rain, he looked at the old man timidly and sadly.

"If you say that the servant is wrong, it means that you shouldn't overstep your authority and worry about your aunt. Instead, you are tired and innocent."

Qiu Mingyue's eyes were slightly cold, and the elder was a little impatient.

"Don't talk about other things for me, so you can talk." The elder is actually not a heartless person, but the girl Zuiman clearly has impure thoughts and pretends to be weak.This reminded him of the Lin family many years ago, who also pretended to be pitiful and made himself lose face in front of his grandmother.It made him hate Lin even more.Therefore, Zuiman's move not only failed to get the slightest sympathy from the elder, but also made the elder hate it even more.

"If you don't tell me, I'll order someone to beat you [-] times, and see if you say it or not."

Zuiman didn't expect the old man to be so heartless, he gritted his teeth and said, "Does the old man want to beat you to death?"

The elder snorted coldly with disdain, "You are just a maidservant, if you sell yourself to the Qiu Mansion as a slave, so what if you are killed?"

Zuiman's face turned pale, and she suddenly remembered that if it was Shen who punished herself, she still had some scruples about ruining her reputation.But if it is the elder, who dares to say anything?I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, "Master, you..." Don't you have half of your heart for her?She didn't dare to ask this sentence.As a servant girl, one must abide by and keep in mind her own identity at all times. If she dares to seduce her master and flirts with her, she will naturally be unable to escape the family law.

The old man had no patience, and said coldly: "You say you don't. Although there are a large group of people in Shou'an Yuan today, you can still find clues after careful investigation. You think you don't tell me, I can't do anything about you Already?" He sneered again and again, "Come here, drag this daring servant girl out, give her a [-]-beater first, remember, just don't let her die."

"Yes." Immediately, two thick women walked in from the outside, pulling her to go out.

Drunkman turned pale with fright, struggling and crying.

"Master, don't, don't..."

Shen couldn't bear it, "Master, are these thirty boards too heavy?"

The elder frowned and said, "If you don't hit her, you won't learn the lesson."

However, Qiu Mingyue knew that the Elder Master wanted to make an example of others, and wanted to use this incident to warn all the servant girls in Qinyuan.

Zuiman finally knew that the old man wasn't just joking. Will she still be alive if she gets down to [-]?Although she was jealous of Shen Shi and wished she could replace him, but compared to her own life, her glory and wealth were second.When a person is in a desperate situation, she is sober, so she said loudly: "Master, my servant said, my servant said."

The elder raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and signaled the two women to let go of her, but did not back out, waiting for the elder's order at any time.

Zuiman knelt on the ground, and only then became frightened. She never expected that the gentleman who usually looked at the gentle and elegant could be so indifferent and cruel.

The elder was expressionless, "Say."

Drunkman's body trembled, and he didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and said honestly: "Yes...it was Lianyun who told the maidservant about the fifth young master's fall from the horse."

The elder frowned, "What good will it do you if you startle Aunt Shen?"

Zuiman swallowed her saliva, naturally she couldn't tell her little thoughts, so she said: "She gave this servant a gold hairpin, plus 50 taels of silver, this servant was fascinated by ghosts for a while, so I... begging for mercy, master, and this servant again I don’t dare anymore.” She kowtowed repeatedly at the end, her body trembling, and she couldn’t stop being terrified.

The elder asked again, "Who is Lian Yun?"

Qiu Mingyue said: "I'm afraid I have to ask my mother. I don't remember that there is no such person among the new maids who entered the mansion. It should be the child of the Qiu mansion."

The Elder Master had sharp eyebrows and eyes, hiding his edge, and said coldly: "Treason the Lord, disrespect, and frame my aunt, what is the use of such an unfaithful servant girl? Beat thirty big boards, and be expelled from the house."

Zuiman didn't expect that the old man would not let him go even after he recruited everything, and he burst into tears in fright.Struggling not to let the two women touch him, he rushed to Aunt Shen's side to beg for mercy.

"Auntie, this servant made a mistake, please, please don't drive this servant out of the house, this servant kowtowed to you, please..." She kowtowed while crying, her intestines were green with regret.

Shen looked at her pitifully, the elder saw her thoughts and stopped her first.

"If you have it once, there will be a second time. This kind of person is not worth your pleading for her. Someone—" He just wanted to call someone to drag Zuiman out, but Shen shook his head.

"I don't want to plead for her, but I just want to find out the real culprit behind the scenes."

The elder and Qiu Mingyue looked at her at the same time, the former was surprised, while the latter smiled knowingly.

"The real murderer behind the scenes?"

Shen nodded, and said in a calm manner: "Master, you checked the stables and the servants, but you still haven't found the murderer who killed Mingrui. Then I think, maybe this is the trick of the person behind the scenes. Let's let The carriage and horses that Mingrui was riding in went crazy, and someone told me that the purpose is to make this concubine mess up. I am still seriously ill, if Mingrui really has something to do..." Shen shi said this, and lowered her with a sad face.

The elder sighed, and knew that Qiu Mingrui was lucky to come back safely today.If you don't find out the real culprit behind the scenes, you will not be able to feel at ease in the future.

Qiu Mingyue said: "Father, aunt is right, although this matter is a bit strange, but there is no guarantee that some people will not take the opportunity to make trouble. Since Lian Yun is a member of this mansion, why not use this vine to find out the real culprit behind it What? As for Zuiman, it’s okay to keep her for the time being. Lock her up for now, anyway, you can’t make too much trouble with her.”

The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Ah."

Qiu Mingyue said to Shen Shi again: "Auntie, let people watch Zuiman temporarily and don't let her go out. Presumably the people behind the scenes will take action after hearing the news."
