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.
