Chapter 34 - Punished the Evil Subordinate (1/2)

Shi Qingxue watched Mo Junyang being carried out, and subconsciously wanted to follow him out.

But she just stepped forward and suddenly saw Qu Yuebai turn back secretly and blink at her when no one paid attention to it.

Qingxue stopped, and she was shocked and comforted in her heart.

He was actually pretending!

She secretly twitched her mouth to express disdain for Mo Junyang’s behavior of shamelessly pretending to be sick.

“Grandma, what should I do with Chun Yu?” Shi Qingxue grabbed Mo Shujun in time and asked in a low voice.

Mo Shujun was so anxious about King Rui’s eldest son who had passed out at that time. How could she care about the life of a servant? And she didn’t want to answer it.

Shi Qingxue immediately proposed, “Don’t you always say that I should learn rewards and punishments? How about letting me deal with Chun Yu, such an evil subordinate?”

Mo Shujun saw that Qingxue’s face was full of eagerness, and she was not afraid of her covering for her subordinate. Then she nodded with agreement, “Since she’s the person in your house, I’ll leave her to you to deal with!”

After that, she didn’t care about what happened next, and followed straightforward to the guest room.

In the courtyard of Luotong Boudoir, all the servants were called up to stand aside. Chun Yu was manacled and kneeling down in the middle of the yard, while Dong Shuang who had been bruised and another second-class servant, Jing Yu, were standing aside.

Xia Mang ordered someone to carry a chair for Shi Qingxue to sit and interrogate her, but Qingxue didn’t sit down.

In the depressed atmosphere, she first glanced at Dong Shuang and whispered, “Jing Yu, you bring Dong Shuang to deal with the wounds first and then come back.”

“Yes.”

Then Shi Qingxue slowly turned her sight to Chun Yu. She looked solemn, and said softly, “Chun Yu, did I treat you badly?”

Chun Yu shrank her neck, shook her head, and answered, “No.”

“The share of Luotong Boudoir is not low, and you servants are deeply favored by me, so the rewards given to you are not few. Don’t you have enough money to spend?” Shi Qingxue again asked in a low voice.

This time Chun Yu didn’t even answer, she just shook her head in silence.

Shi Qingxue sneered, “What was it that made you steal the rewards given by Emperor, and frame Dong Shuang. She was almost killed by it. Is this your friendship after living in the same room for so many years?”

“Wow!”

As soon as this was told, the subordinates who used to be silent started to gossip again.

They all heard that the second-class maidservant Chun Yu was caught and punished in public by the master for theft, but they didn’t expect that there was such a story in it.

“You may know a person’s face but not her mind! Fortunately, it’s not me who lives in the same room with her, or I will have so bad luck!” A maid said in a low voice.

Another responded her secretly, and got fear in her heart, “You are so right! Look how severe Dong Shuang’s injuries are!”

Xia Mang glanced at the whispering crowd, and yelled coldly, “Quiet!”

After everyone was quiet, Shi Qingxue asked again, “Chun Yu, I’m very clear what kind of person you are, and I’ll give you a chance to confess. You tell me who asks you to do this, and I may spare your life.”

Chun Yu was so stupid and it was absolutely impossible to think of such a sophisticated way to frame others, not to mention that there still should be someone to sell the stolen things.

After looking around through the crowd who all bowed their heads, she looked back at Chun Yu. Seeing that she held the attitude that she would not cooperate and kept silent, she couldn’t help being angry, “Are you unwilling to tell?”

Chun Yu trembled because of the fulmination. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but stopped when she reached a certain point. Suddenly her face became pale and lowered her head again, keeping shaking her head.

“Well!” Shi Qingxue sneered in her heart; she was very disdainful of Chun Yu’s behavior. When she was about to reveal the truth, she suddenly was reminded that before she took Chun Yu away from the lobby, Zhou Ruyu seemed to have whispered something to Chun Yu.

Damn it!

Shouldn’t they seize the initiative?

The look of Chun Yu showed that she was obviously threatened by them. How could she get any truth?

She became agitated in her heart, and her questioning became even more offensive, “Do you really think that you can get away from this if you don’t speak a word? Stealing the rewards from the Emperor, framing others up, selling your master’s things. Every one of them is enough to kill you. You…”

“I…” Chun Yu finally spoke with her trembling voice at this time, “I didn’t sell anything. I just had a conflict with Dong Shuang, and I found a way to frame her. Those missing rewards from the Emperor were not stolen by me. Please perceive carefully, Master.”

Shi Qingxue was astonished and didn’t speak.

Chun Yu seemed to have reliance, and suddenly said with her voice increased, “I admit that I have framed Dong Shuang, but it’s just a conflict between us, and it’s not enough to convict me to death. You don’t have the evidence to prove that I have stolen those missing things, and if I am punished for this, I refuse to accept it!

I believe that other servants won’t be convinced when they see Sixth Lady’s arbitrary behavior!”

The last sentence stirred up the trouble really in time, and the subordinates aside began to discuss about it again.

Shi Qingxue was angry, but she even laughed, such stubbornly resisting attitude was so ridiculous, “So you don’t confess your crime?”

Chun Yu paused, and immediately raised her head, “No.”
