”However, if anyone dares to speak carelessly and Master finds out, I will reward them with thirty strokes of my staff!”
A hubbub filled the air as everyone began whispering for an exchange of views.
After a while, a coarse old servant girl shouted, ”I've seen Xiang Ping with my great-aunt's servant lilac.”
As she shouted, the servants quickly responded, ”I've seen it too. The two of them even specially ran to places with no one to hide.”
”What did they say together?” Xiao Yue asked.
”Well,” the man scratched his head, ”I don't know about that.”
”Who knows what the two of them are doing together!”
The maidservants who were involved with the two masters did not dare to expose them in front of the crowd.
After all, although Xiangping had been punished by her master, Lilac was still there.
If they were to settle the score later, no one would be able to bear the consequences.
Noticing that no one was talking, Braised Moon started to raise the price, ”Who knows what they did? The reward is 50 taels of silver, transferred to Ningxin Garden as a waiter!”
The servants exploded in an instant. The Grand Matriarch's Ning Xinyuan had always been the one who had the lightest case and the one who had the most silver taels.
Even a third-class girl in the courtyard could be a relative of the steward. She didn't expect that she would be able to be a servant of Ning Xin Yuan in such a short time.
However, after a while, no one said anything.
Lady Fang stole a glance at Cui Mummy, feeling a little anxious.
Why hasn't the person who was assigned come out yet?
Grandma Cui gave him a calm look and told him to wait quietly.
Lady Fang could only suppress the anxiety in her heart as she forced herself to calm down and watch the situation unfold.
When he thought about how the Grand Matriarch was still looking at him, he couldn't believe that these people didn't have the slightest sense of humility and didn't provide him with any clues even after receiving such good rewards.
She was worried. If she couldn't get anything out of him, she would feel like she didn't know how to do things.
Since the rewards wouldn't work, then don't blame me for it!
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and said, ”If you don't tell me today and hide something in the future, I will reward you with 50 taels of silver!”
Finally, someone shakily said, ”I know.”
”What do you know!” When someone finally spoke, Drinking Moon was quite excited.
”I've seen someone give something to Fragrance, but it's too dark in the night to see what he looks like.”
A satisfied smile finally appeared on Lady Fang's face. As long as the incense was ordered by someone else, it had nothing to do with Guan Yue.
Huyue asked, ”What did you give me?”
The man shook his head. ”I only remember it was a purse. It was filled to the brim.”
”Where did you see them?”
”The side door of the Jade Mist Garden.”
”Did anyone else see it?”
”No, it was night then. I came out in the middle of the night to look for something to eat, that's why I saw it.”
Xiao Yue nodded. ”Tomorrow, you can look for me at the Heartgarden.”
”Yes, yes.” That person thought that the reward was a stunt, but he never expected it to be true. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say.
