Chapter 6 The Hateful Servant Must Have the Evidence!
Qing He came quickly. Once entering the door, she kneeled and cried loudly, “Lady, Madam, I did nothing. I…”
“Did youe here just now?” Qu Moying nced coldly at her, interrupted Qing He’s sniveling, and came straight to the question.
“Miss Moying, I…”
“Just tell me, yes or no!” Qu Moying looked serious.
Yu wanted to say something. But seeing the cold eyes of the Old Lady, she lowered her head instantly and didn’t dare break in again. She felt indignant.
“I…” Qing He still wanted to defend herself.
“p her!” The Old Lady ordered angrily.
A senior housemaid walked forward and pped Qing He hard on her face. Qing He’s head was tilted, and her face became swollen at once.
“You came here with a box of cake and told me it was given by my sister just now, didn’t you?” Qu Moying askedposedly again.
She had gone to bed at that time. When Qing He came to see her, she was afraid there was something important, so she got up to see Qing He.
“Yes… Yes.” Qing He answered in a trembling voice, not daring to defend herself again.
She was fearless when she came. However, facing the calm and stepped-up offensive of Qu Moying, she couldn’t help feeling scared.
When did the Fourth Lady be so tricky?
“After you came, you knocked over the cake and said it became inedible, so you asked Yu Chun to fetch another te from the kitchen, didn’t you?” Qu Moying continued.
“Yes… Yes!”
“Afterwards, you deliberately helped me go to the bedroom for a rest. But when you walked out, you knocked over the oilmp, set a fire to the outer room, and then left!”
Qu Moying said affirmatively.
Yu’s face became pale. She twisted her handkerchief tightly and had a sense of foreboding. But because the Old Lady was here, she didn’t dare to warn Qing He.
“Miss Moying… No, I… I left early. When I left, everything was fine. I didn’t knock over the oilmp either. I didn’t know a fire broke out here…” Qing He didn’t dare to admit and began to cry out her grievance loudly, “Miss Moying, even if you kill me today, I can die without regrets, but you can’t make me a scapegoat!”
“Do you think no one knew it because you dismissed the gatekeeper with a lie before that?” Qu Moying sneered, “When you came, it just got dark and was not yet the time formps. Where did the oilmp smell on your handse from? Not only your hands but also your clothes had such a smell. There are also some oil stains on your cuff. You didn’t find it, did you? Besides, themp oil in my sister’s house is different from that in mine, so you can’t defend yourself with the excuse that you had lit themp for my sister beforeing here!”
Qu Moying sneered. Each word was destroying Qing He’scent assertion.
Qu Moying and Qu Qiuyan were both masters in the family. However, the former used the samemp oil as the servants did, while the one used in thetter’s house was specially prepared for the masters of the family, and it was brighter and less pungent.
She couldn’t see clearly, but she had a good nose. As soon as Qing He entered, she was greeted with her smell. The cause and effect could be made clear easily after she thought about it.
She didn’t have evidence, but she guessed Qing He must have it. That was why she directly asked the Old Lady to have someone call Qing He here.
As a servant, Qing He couldn’t help feeling scared when she tried to murder her master. Therefore, it was normal that her cuff was stained withmp oil. Besides, her clothes had themp oil smell.
Hearing her analysis and seeing Qing He shuddering and keeping silent, everyone else was clear.
The Old Lady flew into a rage and ordered, “Flog the bitch girl to death!”
It was a serious crime anywhere to murder the master!
“Madam, help! Madam, help!” Qing He looked pale. She flopped on the ground, looked at Yu with imploring eyes, and entreated loudly. Now she knew the evidence was irrefutable, and she could only pin her hope on Yu.
“How… How dare you… How dare you do that? Aren’t you afraid that your parents will be implicated?” Yu walked forward and rebuked severely.
Qing He huddled in terror. She knew Yu was dropping her a hint, and she had to confess the crime. Her teeth chattered, and she couldn’t say anything and just looked at Yu with imploring eyes, “Please help me… help me.”
Two senior housemaids came over and intended to drag her away.
“Wait. Grandma, your birthday ising. Keep her life to umte your merits. Just sell her and her family members. Out of sight and out of mind. I don’t want to hear anything more about Qing He nor see her family!” Qu Moying said suddenly.
No one had expected that Qu Moying would intercede for Qing He.
Yu shuddered and realized immediately that Qu Moying intended to keep Qing He’s life. After Qing He and her family were sold, Yu would be unable to control Qing He anymore. It would be a hidden danger.
When did Qu Moying be so sophisticated?
“Mother… We shouldn’t keep the life of the evil servant!” Yu tried to persuade the Old Lady to kill Qing He. Only when Qing He died would everything be finished.
“Well, flog Qing He for twenty times and sell all her family!” The Old Lady thought for a moment and said. Ignoring Yu, she said softly, “Ying, you can’t live here any longer. Live in my warm chamber until your house is well prepared!”
Qu Moying’s advice to umte the merits of the Old Lady made thetter have more pity for the girl. It could umte the merits of both of them. The Old Lady hoped her eyes would be cured!
Qu Moying made a good point.
“OK!” Qu Moying responded softly. ncing at Yu who could hardly repress her anger, Qu Moying sneered and then helped the Old Lady move away slowly.
“Your Highness, we have little time left.” The show in the house was over. A guard on the roof reminded.
“Just wait!” The good-looking man curled his thin lips, lifted his noble nted eyes, and looked at Qu Moying walking away with a faint smile.
The girl was great. She looked delicate but acted decisively, so she was a proper candidate for him. However, it mattered a lot, so he had to know more about her…
