"You're still making baseless accusations!" Erbing kicked Yumeng in anger, causing her to vomit blood.
Xia Yuqiu still looked like a pitiful little flower who had suffered a great injustice: "Yumeng, why did you hurt me? When did I say those things?"
"Of course you wouldn't say it in front of everyone, but you were the one who reminded me to send the letter to Miss Zhou!" Yu Meng originally wanted to shift the blame to Xia Yu Qiu in order to save her own life, but after saying this, she began to think that Xia Yu Qiu might have really meant this from the beginning!
This is truly terrifying to think about!
"No, I didn't! Why are you slandering me like this? What good would it do me? General, Madam, please investigate!"
Erbing quickly added, "Master, I believe this matter has nothing to do with Yuqiu. It must be Yumeng deliberately shifting the blame to escape punishment!"
"No, it's Xia Yuqiu! It really is Xia Yuqiu! I was originally punished and I did harbor resentment towards the madam, but I never intended to leak the news of the general's marriage to anyone else before I came here!"
She was the one who told me about the capital and Xiangzhou City, and I was so blinded by greed that I passed the message on to Miss Zhou. It really was her!
She hinted at it, reminded me; otherwise, I would never have thought of doing it!
Xia Chunmei glanced at Yu Meng, then at Xia Yuqiu, and thought to herself, "What a show!"
"Drag him away," Baili Xiao said coldly.
Yu Meng was shocked that all her words had failed to change anything. She cried out in terror, "Miss, save me! Save me! Xia Yuqiu, you'll die a horrible death! You bitch, you've ruined me!"
Seeing Yu Meng being dragged away, Xia Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly exclaimed: That was close.
“You…” Baili Xiao’s gaze fell on Xia Yuqiu.
Erbing, thinking that Baili Xiao was going to punish Xia Yuqiu, quickly said, "Master, this is definitely Yumeng biting someone in desperation, it has nothing to do with Yuqiu..."
"She should know the truth in her heart. She was never a member of my General's Mansion. Pack your things and leave."
Xia Yuqiu was terrified, and tears welled up in her eyes: "General, Madam, I have nowhere to go. Please don't send me away. I can do anything, any dirty or hard work. Please don't send me away."
Erbing was even more anxious: "Master, Yuqiu is a young girl with no parents and a pack of wolves and tigers in her family. If she leaves here, she has nowhere to go. This matter must not have anything to do with Yuqiu."
As soon as Erbing spoke, Xia Yuqiu breathed a slight sigh of relief. She knew that Erbing was Baili Xiao's confidant, and his words should have some effect.
Xia Yuqiu was filled with anticipation.
"The manor doesn't need her. If you're really worried about her, you can take her back to your home."
Upon hearing this, Erbing's heart stirred. He was naturally happy to agree. Erbing looked shyly at Xia Yuqiu kneeling on the ground and stammered.
Seeing his expression, Xia Yuqiu was afraid that Erbing would ask her if she wanted to go, so she quickly said, "General, Brother Erbing is just taking pity on me. If an unmarried girl like me were to live in Brother Erbing's house, this..."
"Miss Xia, do you mean you want Erbing to give you a proper status?" Xia Chunmei asked.
In fact, Xia Yuqiu didn't want any title or status. Women understand each other, especially Xia Chunmei, who can read faces. Xia Yuqiu's little schemes were completely exposed in front of Xia Chunmei.
Xia Chunmei originally didn't want to get involved because she was a "fake" general's wife, but she was very unhappy with Xia Yuqiu's hypocritical behavior, so she couldn't help but want to expose her true colors.
More importantly, even if she is a fake, outsiders don't know. In their eyes, she is the real general's wife. But this woman is coveting her man and acting all hypocritical. How can she tolerate this?
"If it's about status, I think you don't need to worry. Erbing just defended you, so he must like you. Besides, Erbing's appearance shows that he is honest, upright, and reliable, someone you can depend on." It's just that his eyesight isn't very good.
"Miss Xia is not young anymore. If you two are interested in each other, why don't you let the general act as matchmaker?"
After Xia Chunmei finished speaking, Erbing blushed deeply and immediately realized that although the lady came from a humble background, she was very clever.
Xia Yuqiu was completely dumbfounded. How could things have developed like this?
She didn't want to marry Erbing.
Xia Chunmei, an orphan peasant girl, was able to marry General Baili, so why should she have to marry a guard? Her father was at least a scholar.
Wasn't her background better than Xia Chunmei's?
