Chapter 489 The Housekeeper

Hearing Wu's words, Qin Su frowned again.

Zuo Sikuang was holding dozens of worthless copper-clad silver plum blossom hairpins with missing petals. What is he going to do?
"Why did he do this, do you know?" Qin Sufang asked after a long time.

Wu laughed dryly in the sack, and said: "This... I also asked about it, but the head officer Zuo said he didn't know. He just followed the orders of Lieutenant Zuo and often went to beat and fetch hairpins. Forget it, I settle the account with the Skillful Hand Workshop every six months." Speaking of this, she added flatteringly: "But I know that this account is not taken from the main account. Manager Zuo said that this account is from the Lieutenant Zuo’s private account, the insiders don’t know about it.”

of course.

Zuo Sikuang would never tell Qin Shifang no matter what the use of these hairpins was.

After pondering for a while, Qin Su asked again: "Besides that, what else do you know?"

Mrs. Wu immediately shook her head desperately: "That's all I know, sir, what I'm telling you is the truth. Guan Zuo doesn't often go to my place when he's in business, and he doesn't stay long when he goes back. I don't dare to ask more questions. What. I don’t go to Zuo’s house very often. There is a tigress in Zuo’s house, and I’m also very scared..."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and finally she lost her voice, and her whole body began to shrink down again, as if she wanted to shrink into a ball.

Qin Su looked at her coldly, but she didn't think she dared to lie.

However, what should be reminded still needs to be reminded.Sometimes it's not that people don't want to say something, it's just that they have a lot of forgetfulness.

Thinking of this, Qin Su winked at Ah Zhen.

Today's Ah Zhen has finally learned how to look at her eyes. When she sees this, she immediately understands it, so she stepped forward and lifted Wu Shi up, and said viciously: "I think you are impatient. How dare you tell me if I ask you?" , I'll take you to a good place right now!" As he spoke, he gestured to carry her forward.

Wu was so frightened that her whole body was limp and turned into mud. She opened her mouth to beg for mercy, but unexpectedly, she heard the vicious woman say coldly, "Dare you? Tell me to finish you right now!"

Not to mention, as soon as Ah Zhen said these cruel words, Wu immediately didn't dare to cry and begged, and shook violently like chaff, but she could only cry mournfully and whispered: "I don't dare ...I dare not...women, please forgive me...no, no, sir, please forgive me..."

Qin Sushi smiled, and said unhurriedly: "It's not difficult for me to forgive you, just think about it carefully and vividly, among the things that Manager Zuo told you, is there any one with Lieutenant Zuo?" something about it."

Her voice could not be called not gentle, and she sighed after she finished speaking, and said: "If you can say more, I will let you go, right? Why do you suffer so much here? I told you You, I have a bad temper, if I can't persuade you after a while, then you can only be sacrificed by her."

Ah Zhen's eyebrows trembled.

Qin Su's words sounded as if she was murderous without blinking an eye.

Besides, there is a cliff here ready-made, is there still a knife?When the time comes, throw it directly under the waterfall, it will be clean and crisp, so why bother washing the knife?

After hearing Qin Su's soft words, Wu Shi trembled even more, for fear that she would be stabbed to death by that vicious woman.While racking her brains to remember desperately, she scolded Steward Zuo bloody in the bottom of her heart.

If she had known that cheating with him would save her troubles, she wouldn't be greedy for his little money.

I don't know if it was frightened by Ah Zhen's prestige, or because of Qin Su's two words, in short, Wu Shi really remembered something, so she raised her voice and said, "I...I remembered Alright, sir...I remembered something..."

Qin Su immediately gave Ah Zhen a wink, and Ah Zhen immediately threw Wu on the ground, and shouted: "Say it quickly, don't dawdle."

Wu Shi was really frightened this time, and immediately knelt on the ground after landing, not caring whether she was kneeling in the right direction or not, she just tremblingly said: "Yes... yes... I remember, I remember the left steward As I said, Lieutenant Zuo has a housekeeper by his side, which is very useful. It is said that Lieutenant Zuo never asked this housekeeper to work in the inner courtyard, and always let her work in the outer courtyard. And...and..."

"And what? You speak slowly, don't worry." Qin Su slowed down her voice as much as possible, and said gently.

Wu Shi swallowed her saliva, and said with a trembling voice: "And... I once heard Steward Zuo say that he saw the housekeeper's wife go in and out of Lieutenant Zuo's study room at night, more than once. But... Hmm... this housekeeper has never met Madam Zuo face-to-face, and Lieutenant Zuo has also spoken, and her affairs are not allowed to be reported to the inner house..."

Wu Shi gritted her teeth and said this, then kowtowed to the front where no one was there, and cried: "That's all, there's nothing more, sir. Really nothing."

"There is such a thing?" Qin Su didn't care about Wu's begging, and only whispered to herself in a slightly surprised voice.

Zuo Sikuang actually has such a steward by his side?

Why hadn't she heard of this in her previous life?And the little ladies of the Zuo family never mentioned this matter.

If Zuo Cheng and Wu Shi are telling the truth, that is to say, Zuo Sikuang really has a confidante by his side.Couldn't his dozens of plum hairpins be given to the lady in charge?

"How old is that housekeeper? How does she look?" Qin Su asked.

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment, and then said unnaturally: "I heard Guan Shi Zuo said that she...she is about thirty years old, and looks...very beautiful..."

In fact, when Zuo Cheng talked about this beautiful female steward, Mrs. Wu was jealous for several days, until Zuo Cheng bought her a jade bracelet as an apology, and then swore that the steward lady had the same relationship with Zuo Sikuang. Because of their close relationship, she didn't meet them face to face at all, so she let it go.

"The beautiful lady in charge... the plum blossom hairpin..." Qin Su muttered to himself, subconsciously twirling the hem of the skirt with his fingers, and asked again: "After Zuo Cheng took the hairpin, should he give it to the left lieutenant directly or take it away?" in some place?"

"It was directly handed over to Lieutenant Zuo." Wu Shi turned her body with difficulty, and finally found the direction to kneel, facing Qin Su flatteringly: "If Mr. Lang wants to know more, I will go back and ask Steward Zuo." go."

"Speak up!" Ah Zhen shouted sharply.

Wu Shi was so frightened that she quickly shrank back and didn't speak.

Qin Su didn't need Mrs. Wu to ask questions for her, the main reason was that she didn't believe her. Besides, the more he searched for Zuo Sikuang, the more he felt that there were many secrets hidden in him. , these secrets, except for himself, I am afraid that no one will know.

Qin Su raised his chin to Ah Zhen.

Ah Zhen bowed, and struck the back of Wu Shi's neck with a palm, and Wu Shi passed out without even groaning.
