Chapter 330: The Scapegoat

When Mr. Hu thought that this matter had something to do with his daughter, he felt anxious. Others didn't know that he really understood his daughter's nature. The biggest thing his daughter had to do was actually to use the county lord Xiuwen. As a lesson from the past, when he heard that something happened to him in County Lord Xiuwen and his daughter was next to him, he couldn't help but feel a sudden headache, fearing that this matter was really related to his daughter.

However, it was not convenient to interrogate the mother and daughter, so they could only sulk in the study.

"master."

Tongfang Yunniang knocked on the door gently at the door.

"Come in." Mr. Hu just waited for Yunniang to come in, and immediately closed the doors and windows and asked, "How are you asking?"

Yunniang whispered, "Master, I asked again carefully. The little maid who followed the eldest lady said that the situation was too messy and could not see clearly. But after the incident, County Lord Xiuwen kept yelling about pain and did not say why he fell. I thought, with County Lord Xiuwen's personality, if someone really was pushed, wouldn't he be yelling on the spot? It should have nothing to do with the eldest lady."

"What do you know?" Mr. Hu walked around the room anxiously, "If you really can't see anything clearly, it's a headless case, it's really troublesome.

He is a person in the officialdom and knows those tricks of shirking responsibility and framing. He just received the news that County Lord Xiuwen would be given a marriage to the prince of the Feng Clan, and the order was not yet issued. Now that such a thing happened, the people of Prince Ruicheng's Mansion would definitely try their best to shirk responsibility. If the county Lord Xiuwen fell and injured himself, he would be suspected of evading the marriage. The lord of the emperor was angry that Prince Ruicheng's Mansion would inevitably be severely punished, but if he was pushed down by other ladies, Prince Ruicheng's Mansion would have no responsibility.

Although County Lord Xiuwen didn't say anything on the spot, it might be that she was young and didn't expect that after returning home, someone would naturally remind her that her daughter would be the best scapegoat.

Although he was so anxious that he could not do anything for a moment. He wanted to inquire about more information but no one was in charge of this kind. In the past, Mrs. Hu was responsible for this kind of thing, but now Mrs. Hu is no longer the dignified lady she used to be. She was completely an irrational shrew. Several other sisters-in-law had a disagreement with the big house. Learning that such a thing was equivalent to getting a handle.

Mr. Hu thought about it and couldn't think of a solution. He was so upset that Yunniang looked outside nervously.

"What are you worried about?" Mr. Hu's anger immediately rushed towards Yunniang.

"Master, please forgive me." Yunniang pretended to be calm but had a sense of fear on her face, "I can't stay alone in the study with you for too long."

"What?" Mr. Hu felt incredible. This Yunniang was his roommate. Even if the two of them were sleeping in the same bed, why couldn't they stay in the same room with him alone? However, he could tell the crux of the problem after thinking about it for a moment. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, this crazy woman.

"Master..." Yunniang looked at Mr. Hu with pitiful eyes.

"You go down." Mr. Hu waved his hand irritably.

Yunniang seemed to be afraid that he would change her mind, so she quickly ran as fast as possible.

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise everything he has worked hard in his life will be ruined, and a ruthlessness flashed across Mr. Hu's face.

...

Su Yiqing was lying on the beauty couch and closed her eyes to rest. While listening to the Green Teng reporting on the movements in the noble lady's circle over the past two days.

"Princess, this is roughly the case with all kinds of rumors outside now." Green Vine reported with her hands down.

Su Yiqing didn't say anything, as if she was asleep, but Lu Teng knew that she was not asleep. As a good servant, she could easily judge whether the master was asleep. The princess was just thinking about things.

After a while, Su Yiqing slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the thin knot tea cup on the table.

Lu Teng immediately cleverly went to the small tea room next to him to brew a cup of Lu'an melon slices and brought it to Su Yiqing.

Su Yiqing picked up the tea cup and gently used the tea cover to dial the tea leaves that came to her door. She didn't like drinking this kind of tea. Generally speaking, she liked to drink simple flower tea, just to try to avoid being too similar to her before. Some small details will be changed. When I was wandering outside, I had never eaten any rough food. These precious good teas are not difficult to eat. After placing for a while, she took a sip and looked at Lu Teng and asked, "Where are you from before?"

Before Lu Teng spoke, she added, "If you don't want to say it, you can't say it. Many maids have poor backgrounds and some sad past events do not want to be mentioned, I just ask them casually."

"Report to the princess, I don't know where I am from." Lu Teng replied respectfully, "I stayed in the Sales Courtyard before I was four years old. I still vaguely remember that because I had no money, the Sales Courtyard could not be completed, and the orphans in the yard were adopted... But not everyone has the luck of adoption. I was bought by a salt merchant's servant, but that family was very harsh on people. Later, the enemy came to seek revenge, the master was killed, the house was burned, and the servants scattered. The servants wandered on the streets and became beggars. The little beggars on the streets were not easy to do. At that time, I was only six years old, because of my weakness.

It is easy to be pitiful. If you ask for more money and goods, you are often bullied by other little beggars. Once again, you were beaten and lying on the ground and bleeding. Fortunately, a beggar mother-in-law found some herbs to help with it, so she saved her life. After that, I beggar mother-in-law begged and taken care of each other. Two years later, the beggar mother-in-law became old and fell ill after a rain. She had no money to see the doctor and died of illness soon. I couldn't bear to have my mother-in-law thrown into the mass grave by a roll of broken mats. So I learned to sell her own bid under the overpass, wanting to make up some money to bury her mother-in-law. Later, I was lucky to be attracted by the manager of the royal palace and bought it back."

Another pitiful person, Su Yiqing sighed and asked again, "How old were you at that time?"

Green Vine replied: "Eight years old."

At the age of eight, Su Yiqing repeated it. At the age of eight, she said she was old but she was not young. The dignified royal family didn't like to buy such servants, and her identity was a little unknown. Especially since they also trained Green Vine as a confidant, the requirements were stricter. After thinking about it, she asked, "What about you after you were bought by the manager? This is how you taught you?"

"Princess, can I not tell you?" Lu Teng said frankly, "I have been having a hard time in those years and I don't want to mention it."

"Of course, I said it just now, it's not forced." Su Yiqing could actually imagine that it was the method of training agents and spies in some TV novels in his previous life, which was extremely cruel.

"Princess. This is all my willingness." Lu Teng saw that Su Yiqing had pity in her eyes, as if she was afraid that she would misunderstand it. "I think that a little beggar on the street like me is also a daughter's house. If I hadn't had such an opportunity, even if I didn't starve to death, the street would have fallen into a dirty land. Now I can be the maid in front of the princess, and I'm better than an ordinary wealthy lady. I feel very lucky, and the hardships I have suffered before are worth it."

"Is that?" Su Yiqing said this casually, without much belief. She remembered Xin'er. She had never known Xin'er's past experience. She thought that it might be similar to this Green Vine. She suffered so much when she was young and couldn't help but hope that she would be able to end her hardships in the future. In the end, she died tragically in a foreign country. Even if Green Vine said sincerely at this moment, she was just a tool of the royal palace. This is different from Yuemian, Liu'er and the others. What is her fate not certain? What is gratitude now? It's all fake.

"Princess, you are a good person. I feel lucky to be able to follow the princess." Lu Teng said this again.

Su Yiqing stopped talking. Sometimes when she said too much, it seemed fake. Now she didn't believe what Lu Teng said. Even if this girl said sincerely at the moment, she might not think so in the next moment.

Xin'er also always said that she was a good person, but when she was chased by a robber and pushed her off the carriage with a cruel heart, could she still hold on to such a belief? Moreover, on the streets of her tragic death, she thought nothing had happened. A maid who had been with her for several days could anxiously seek her. Her master, who could be said to have shared hardships, couldn't help but want to seek justice for her, and even cover up her disappearance, so that she did not want to cause trouble.

At this time, a little maid outside the door reported softly, "Princess, Miss Ning is outside, I want to come in and ask the princess for her."

"No." Su Yiqing said impatiently. She was not in the mood to see this woman pretending and was too lazy to deal with her.

The little maid took the order and left. Soon, I heard a gentle footstep, as if the little maid had come in again.

Su Yiqing ordered Lu Teng, "If it's about Ning Ya'er again, go and send her away. If there is nothing wrong, just wander in front of me."

"Yes!" Green Vine saluted, took a few steps before turning around and going out.

Outside, Ning Ya'er was dressed in a light green dress and was dressed in a very simple manner. She stood outside timidly, and her nanny, Madam Jian, was with her side.

As soon as he saw the harsh maid next to the princess, Ning Yaer couldn't help but shrink and held a timid smile: "This sister, I just want to ask the princess for peace and avenge her. Please report it."

Lu Teng said lightly: "Miss Ning is intent. The princess is busy. There is no need to pay her respects. Miss Ning please go back."

"No, I really just want to invite you to have an amnesty. I... have something to say to the princess." Ning Yaer begged.

"If you have anything, just say it to me, I will definitely tell you." Lu Teng said Leng Bingbing.

"This..." Ning Yaer stammered.
