C224 (2/2)

She knew Cui Ping's identity better than anyone else — Auntie Zhong had not kept this matter a secret from her all those years ago.

But today, both Lin Shu and the Madam Lian were extremely furious. Was there really a need to stand up for a servant?

She thought about it and decided that it was unnecessary! But he still pretended to say a few words, ”Fourth Sister, what are you doing? If you have something on your mind, just come at me. Why do you have to be angry at a servant girl? ”

Lin Shu did not even look at her, and instructed the two wives who were waiting by the side: ”Are you still not going to drag her down?”

Cui Ping sobbed, ”Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, why are you treating this servant like this? ”It seems like this servant has never offended you before. Today is your day to go back home. Even if you don't give face to this servant, it's still because of Young Master …”

Her words were getting more and more out of hand.

Lin Shu knew that she was panicking, so she waved towards the two women who were holding her, and the two women stopped.

Lin Shu slowly walked in front of Cui Ping. Just now, she was dragged by the two wives, her hair in a mess, and her clothes were dirty.

She only looked down at Cui Ping from above, ”I'll give you one more chance. If you speak the truth now, I'll spare your life, and I might even let bygones be bygones.

”You also said just now that today is the day I will return home. I don't want to cause too much of a ruckus. Fifth Sister and I don't want to see it on the surface!”

Cui Ping was stunned, she quickly turned her head.

Say it or not?

Fourth Aunt had already said that if she were to tell the truth, she wouldn't cause trouble for her. This … Could it be that Fourth Miss was trying to trick her?

She thought about it and felt that it was impossible. Fourth Aunt had always kept her word, not to mention that even if Fourth Aunt had cheated her, there were still so many elders left!

Cui Ping thought about it again and again, then said: ”This servant will say, this servant will say anything, this servant is not Cui Ping … This slave was brought back from the villa by the Auntie Zhong a few years ago. The real Cui Ping has now been sent back to her hometown by the Auntie Zhong! ”

In fact, she still did not tell the truth. The real Cui Ping had already been killed by the Auntie Zhong.

Auntie Zhong had always said that no one's words could be trusted in this world. Only dead people's words were the most trustworthy.

Lin Lian's expression immediately changed, and she shouted: ”Cui Ping, you're talking nonsense!”

The corner of Lin Shu's mouth rose slightly, ”Did she lie? You know this better than anyone. Do you really think I don't know? ”

As she said that, she told the two women to let go and even helped Cui Ping up, ”I have always kept my word. I will treat this as though it never happened, and you can continue serving Fifth Miss!”

Cui Ping was startled, and immediately crawled and rolled behind Lin Lian.

However, Lin Shu knew that they would never be able to return between master and servant. Once the knot in their hearts was formed, it would not be easy to undo it again.

From then on, Lin Lian would no longer truly believe in Cui Ping. Cui Ping had also experienced how vicious Lin Lian's heart was.

If she did not have Cui Ping to help her, how would her days in the Duke Chengan Palace look like …

Lin Shu was curious.

However, Lin Lian angrily took Cui Ping and Yan Wen away.

On the other hand, First Madam watched her back as she left in a hurry, and slowly shook her head, ”What happened to our Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion recently? One thing after another, there was nothing good to do! First was Mother's illness, then came Sister Jia, and then was Lian Jieer's marriage. ”Ai, what's going on?”

Now that there are no other people here, Lin Shu could not help but ask: ”What happened to Second Sister? It's fine that second brother-in-law and I haven't returned today, but why do I look at Second Aunt as if I'm not too happy about it just now? ”

Furthermore, looking at Second Madam's expression just now, she felt that the matter regarding Lin Qian was pretty serious.
