C145 (1/2)
The maidservant approached the old gatekeeper and lowered her voice, passing on the news she had received.
The old woman nodded, and the servant returned to the Madam Wang courtyard.
However, the moment she stepped into the courtyard, she was immediately surrounded by a group of maids and wives.
”Alright, I was just wondering why I was in so many mishaps. It seems like you, the maid, had other intentions and sold me out to be someone else's dog!”
Her body, which had become fat from her pregnancy, also appeared in the eyes of the servant girl.
”Wh, madam, why are you here?”
The maidservant stammered and was shocked. She could not help but blurt out the words that came out of her mouth.
However, she immediately regretted doing such a guilty action. She quickly made up for it, ”Madam, you've injured your body today. It's time to take a good rest. Why aren't you staying in the room?”
However, Madam Wang ignored her concerned words, and she sneered: ”You're already caught, yet you still pretend nothing happened. You sure are bold.”
If not for his courage, how would he dare to send news to the Aunt Li?
As she thought of this, her heart rose and fell in anger.
The servant girl pretended to be at a loss and asked, ”Madam, what do you mean by that? This servant doesn't understand. ”
”You don't understand?” Madam Wang's voice was a little sharp, instructing the servant girl beside him, ”Qing Er, tell her what you just saw.”
”Just now when I went to fry medicine for my wife, I saw you sneaking out of the courtyard. You put down your work and didn't do it, but instead went to Aunt Li's courtyard.
Qing Er glared fiercely at the servant. If it wasn't for her, the Madam wouldn't have been tricked by the Aunt Li.
It was precisely because he noticed the hands Aunt Li had placed by his side that Madam Wang realized how abnormal the events of today were.
First, Aunt Li purposely provoked her until she was angry, causing her to bleed profusely. Afterwards, Aunt Li also prevented Bi Zhu from concocting the medicine for her, and when the blood stopped flowing and the child in her stomach was saved, Aunt Li could not help but slander An Lingge, saying that this was all done by the young miss herself.
But her visit to An Lingge today was completely due to a whim, so it was impossible for An Lingge to know of it beforehand.
On the other hand, the Aunt Li had arranged a group of people in her courtyard to keep track of her movements and movements. She was the person who was most likely to make a move on her.
Thinking about it carefully, if something were to happen to her in An Lingge's courtyard, and the child in her stomach could no longer be kept, then she would lose her child painfully, and An Lingge would also be unable to escape the suspicion that she was suffering from a miscarriage.
Madam Wang's face became darker and darker, while the servant girl still tried to defend herself, ”Madam, I just remembered that I didn't take anything and went to find someone to get it back, so how would I dare to do something that would betray you?”
She was pretty and delicate, and there were tears in her eyes, making her look even more pitiful.
This was what the Second Elder An Yinghao liked the most!
”Qing'er, go sell this maid to the lowest brothel in the capital!”
”Madam, you can't do this!” That servant girl screamed. She did not expect that the Madam Wang would not follow through with her tricks, and would sell her out without giving her a clear explanation.
”You know I'm a lady?” Madam Wang stared coldly at the servant girl, ”I am an upright and proper master, and you are only a third-rate servant girl. I don't like you to do things. If I sell you out, who would have any objections? ”
A lord wanting to sell a servant was a matter that was perfectly justified. No matter how dissatisfied the maid was, no matter how resentful she was, it would not change this fact.
