Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 65 Spotting the Betrayer

"The cherries on the farm are ripe, I'll pick some for the old lady and dad." Murong Yu smiled lightly, secretly observing Aunt Ma's expression: "I've seen the cherries stored in the front yard, and the color is a little bad. The owner said that all the top-quality cherries were sent to Aunt Ma, so I came here to pick some and bring them back to the Hou Mansion."

Murong Yu specially emphasized the name of the owner, because he wanted to tell Aunt Ma that the reason why she came here was because the owner said that there were many cherries here, and she didn't mean to trouble her on purpose.

Aunt Ma smiled slightly: "Old Madam, Master Hou wants to eat cherries, so of course he wants to eat high-quality ones, red candle, go and take out that basket of cherries..." Murong Yu seemed to be a little different from before.

a basket?Murong Yu frowned slightly: "Is there only a basket of cherries here with Aunt Ma?" Things are getting more and more interesting.

"Yes, I just ordered the servant girl to bring over a basket of high-quality cherries, and I haven't had time to eat them..." Aunt Ma sighed softly: "This year, Zhuangzi's harvest is poor, and the high-quality ingredients are much less than before. There are only a few baskets of each, and the most unexpected thing is that there is only one basket of high-quality cherries. If I had known this, I would have sent the owner to the Hou Mansion, and I would never eat it myself..."

Aunt Ma is advancing by retreating, and using the matter of cherries to test whether she is the person sent by Aunt Zhang, it is not easy to be cautious every step of the way.

However, if you think about it carefully, she fought with Aunt Zhang who was in charge of the Hou Mansion for three years before she was caught in the wrong place. How could she be a simple character? The other concubines of the Hou Mansion either died or were sent to prison. Selling, only she, but was relegated to Zhuangzi to think about it.

"But according to the owner, Aunt Ma ordered someone to bring back several baskets of high-quality cherries, not just one basket." Murong Yu didn't quarrel with Aunt Ma, but shifted the responsibility to the owner in order to let her know that I am not in the same group as Aunt Zhang.

"It's impossible." Aunt Ma hastily denied, "I just asked someone to bring over a basket of cherries..."

Turning his gaze to the owner, he spoke sharply and angrily: "Master, which maid beside me took those baskets of cherries? It's really audacious to use my name to enrich one's own pocket, greedy for high-quality cherries, and eating a bear's heart. ..."

Murong Yu smiled lightly and said nothing, there are spies around Aunt Ma, I don't know if the landlord will bite her out in order to protect himself...

"This..." The owner of the villa was sweating anxiously. The original plan was to slander Aunt Ma for being the only one in the village. The eldest lady was so angry that she entered the courtyard and quarreled with Aunt Ma indiscriminately. Even fighting, Aunt Zhang and her plan were implemented smoothly.

I never thought that I tried my best and talked dryly, but I couldn't provoke them to be hostile to each other and fight each other. On the contrary, the two not only lived in peace, but also united, unanimously, and pushed all the mistakes to myself body, what should I do next...

Murong Yu smiled slightly: "The owner hasn't answered Aunt Ma's question for a long time, but is there something unspeakable?"

"No...no..." The owner hastily denied it. He is the owner of the village. If he is found out for protecting a maid, he will definitely be accused of adultery. At that time, the crime will be serious: "Take It’s Hong Bei who takes a few baskets of cherries!” You can’t ruin your future because of Hong Bei’s mistakes!
Aunt Ma's eyes narrowed slightly: "Hong Ling, go and call Hong Bei." Unexpectedly, she has a white-eyed wolf by her side.

After a while, Hongbei was called, dressed in green, youthful and beautiful, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, indescribably alluring: "Miss Da'an, Aunt Ma is safe!" The surrounding area was quiet, and dozens of pairs of eyes were focused on her. On her body, Hong Bei was panicked, her heart was beating like a 'plop plop': "Auntie, is there something you want to do with your servant?"

"Hongbei, how many cherries did you take?" In the past, she often used her own name to discuss other ingredients. Aunt Ma was smiling and spoke calmly, but when she heard Hongbei's ears, it sounded like a magic voice. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she quietly raised her eyes to look at the owner, only to see that he was also looking at her coldly, as if warning her, don't talk nonsense, her legs softened, Hongbei knelt down on the ground, wow She burst into tears: "Auntie, please forgive me... The slave girl is seriously ill, she doesn't want to eat anything, she just wants to eat some cherries..." The owner of the villa must have offered himself up. This is the owner's territory. He is single and weak, so he can't plant his spoils on him, otherwise, the end will be absolutely miserable, and he admits that he is unlucky for the time being, but in the future, when he returns to the mansion and gains power, he may not have the chance to punish him as a small owner.

"Hong Bei, what you signed is a death contract, which is equivalent to selling it to the Marquis. Your old lady has nothing to do with you. Even if you can't bear it and want to be filial, you don't need to take a few baskets of high-quality cherries back home. Come on, have you finished eating?" Aunt Ma sneered in her heart, she really didn't know whether to call her stupid or an idiot, and such a flawed reason could be used: "Aren't you going to tell the truth?"

"Auntie, please forgive me, please forgive me..." Hong Bei trembled, covered her face with her handkerchief and cried miserably: "Actually... the servants took those cherries privately, mainly to give to the old lady and Lord Hou..."

Aunt Ma was taken aback for a moment, and then she was furious. She just made a small mistake, and before she showed her defeat, she couldn't wait to climb another branch under her nose. She is really a smart and powerful white-eyed wolf. The importance and grace of rebuilding have long been forgotten...

"Hong Bei, Aunt Ma is our master, how can you surpass the master in doing things?" Hong Ling was indignant: Even if she wanted to please the old lady and Lord Hou, she should tell Aunt Ma.

"Everything I did... was for my aunt..." Hongbei cried louder and more aggrieved, "The conditions in Zhuangzi are too harsh. Food, clothing, housing, and utilities are all worse than those in Hou's residence." It’s a lot, the slaves don’t care, but my aunt is a precious body, how can I suffer this kind of suffering here, not to mention, my aunt is weak, if I continue to live, I will definitely not be able to bear it..."

"My aunt made a mistake and was punished here. Without the permission of the old lady and Lord Hou, she could not return to the Hou's mansion. The servant girl secretly took the cherry on her own initiative and was going to send it to the mansion to beg for mercy. If they allow aunt to return to the mansion, it will be a good thing. An old lady, the Marquis is still angry, and if you blame her, the servant will bear all the crimes alone, and will definitely not implicate the aunt, who has no knowledge of the matter, so naturally she will not be sad..."
