Chapter 1970 Scolding
Aunt Yan was startled, her chest was beating wildly, her face turned pale, and she looked at Madam Lu in panic.
What? How could she know how to say it...
Madam Lu was also embarrassed and hurriedly smiled: "Madam Shao, Aunt Yan must have heard the rumors outside and misunderstood..."
"Yes, yes! I, I just heard people say that outside, how could it be true? If not, then on the day of the Lantern Festival, Lord Shao was clearly protecting our Third Miss!"
Qiao Xuan was furious and smiled at Madam Lu, "Your Lu family is really interesting! Our master has clearly debunked the rumor, how could someone in the family still have such a ridiculous and confused idea! And this person is actually Miss Lu's biological mother! As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. With such a biological mother, we can see what kind of personality Miss Lu has! How dare your Lu family send such a person to our master? Are you deliberately trying to humiliate our master!"
Madam Lu and Aunt Yan both changed color.
"Mrs. Shao misunderstood!"
"That's clearly what's being spread outside! Even if we don't say anything, others will say the same thing, but we can't stop so many people from talking! Is our girl's reputation going to be ruined for nothing?"
"This is your business," Qiao Xuan sneered, "My Lord has already dispelled the rumors. If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, just go to the government office and report it. My Lord will naturally deal with it impartially! How did your girl's reputation get ruined? The people of Anzezhou City are all under the rule of my Lord. Since my Lord has encountered an injustice, he will naturally intervene. Even if it wasn't your girl that night, my Lord would still do the same!"
"According to what you said, if there is any rumor, our master will be responsible? Isn't that ridiculous! What do you Lu family think of our master? Can't you let him make the decision? If there are those dark and dirty, despicable and shameless people who deliberately make up rumors and accuse our master, our master will also be responsible?"
"But, but that day——"
"Our master has already dispelled the rumor. The rest has nothing to do with the master!" Qiao Xuan was too lazy to argue with people like Aunt Yan. Some people were impossible to reason with. She felt that killing a chicken to scare the monkey might have a better effect.
Qiao Xuan looked at Madam Lu coldly: "Madam Lu, in your house, how should I be punished for committing crimes and slandering my master?"
Madam Lu was stunned. She felt that this question was a trap, but she had to answer: "If, if there really is such a servant, how can we keep him? Of course, we should beat him up and sell him far away, or chase him off to the farm and never allow him to enter the mansion again."
"Yes, such a servant must not be kept! Otherwise, the family will be in chaos. Then, Aunt Yan just ignored me at the beginning, and then spread rumors and slandered me. Even if she is different from ordinary servants, she is just an aunt after all. Should she be punished?"
Madam Lu's eyelids jumped violently——
Aunt Yan was already panicking and screaming, "Madam! Madam Shao, I, I am innocent! I didn't do it!"
Qiao Xuan ignored Aunt Yan and just looked at Madam Lu.
"Madam Lu is the headmistress of the Lu family?"
When she spoke again, Qiao Xuan's tone was filled with sarcasm, ridicule, and contempt.
Madam Lu's heart sank suddenly. If this matter got out, she, as the mistress of the house, would lose all face.
