Chapter 11: How does it feel to be wrongly accused and unable to defend yourself?
"What is this?" Shen Zhao asked knowingly.
However, when he looked at the food rolling out, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
A piece of steamed bun covered with green hair and mold, and a bowl of spilled porridge.
The porridge spilled onto the ground, mixed with some oil and broken vegetable leaves.
The sour and pungent smell.
The old woman stammered, "Yes...it's food."
This old woman was caught in a trap today.
I don't know who ordered them to do this, but today they actually served her slop. No matter how bad the food was in the past, it was still food for people. Today, they are mistreating her.
But it’s better this way, as it allows Chu Mu, who is blind, to take a good look.
Chen Zhao pointed at the slop on the ground and said coldly, "Everyone in the mansion has already eaten by this hour, so don't even mention that you wanted to eat it. Besides, the Madam is the only one in this courtyard, and she's the only one who was punished by not having breakfast. Is this the breakfast you brought to her? She's the wife of a dignified general. Who gave you the guts to humiliate her like this, feeding her slop and then telling the truth?"
The old woman subconsciously wanted to say: "No... this is not..."
Chen Zhao gave her a murderous look and said, "Think it over first." The old woman immediately knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly.
"I deserve to die," he trembled, "because I was blinded by greed and casually brought the food from the kitchen without checking it carefully. I hope the general will forgive me."
The old woman kowtowed to Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao snorted coldly, "Didn't you look carefully? Do you think I'm blind? The steamed buns are moldy, and the slop is sour. Even if you didn't look carefully, can you not smell the sour smell?"
The old woman broke out in a cold sweat, wondering why the general was taking care of such a trivial matter today.
Thinking of accepting the two taels of silver from the man in the West Garden to torture the lady, the old woman felt extremely regretful.
"You decide whether to tell me or not! Even if you don't tell me, I can find out. Then the punishment will be..." Shen Zhao's face turned cold.
The old woman immediately shuddered when she heard this: "General, please forgive me, this old slave..." The old woman suddenly looked at Chu Mu behind Shen Zhao and immediately had an idea.
"It was Madam who pushed Miss Lin down in the old lady's courtyard today, causing her to suffer from heartache again. Miss Lin is also a pitiful person. She can't eat and is still lying on the couch.
The maidservant beside Miss Lin couldn't bear to see Madam bullying Miss Lin, so...so she asked me to bring these foods to Madam...I didn't mean to do that, I hope the general will forgive me."
Everyone in the mansion knows that the general cares about Miss Lin the most.
Whenever the Madam and Miss Lin come into conflict, the general will always side with Miss Lin regardless of right or wrong.
Besides, it was Madam who made the mistake today.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to remember this, so the general would not punish her for being disrespectful to the lady.
The old woman glanced at Chu Mu with a smug look in her eyes, her eyes full of provocation. So what if you are the lady? You are still no match for Miss Lin, the apple of the general's eye.
The two men caught the old woman's look. Chen Zhao looked at Chu Mu behind him, with a playful look in his eyes.
Chu Mu stared at the moldy steamed bun.
I feel mixed emotions.
He could clearly see the pride in the old woman's eyes.
He felt a little unhappy, as he could hear the meaning of those words clearly.
They humiliated Ah Zhao like this just to vent Lin Jiaojiao's anger.
Judging from her expression, she was obviously sure that "I" would not punish her.
Thinking of how he had handled things in the past, Chu Mu looked at Chen Zhao with guilt in his eyes.
He squatted down and picked up the hairy and rotten steamed bun.
"Is this what you usually eat?" He asked in a whisper.
Shen Zhao didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
She wouldn't be so stupid as to say that she doesn't eat this on a normal day.
Isn't he feeling guilty? Then feel guilty. This is just the beginning.
But she was so amused that Elmhead and Bai Lianhua started fighting on the first day. Did she miss a good show?
When Chu Mu was about to put the moldy steamed bun into his mouth to taste it, Chen Zhao snatched it away and crushed it at his feet.
His face darkened. He said, "You feel guilty about it, but don't hurt my body. He wanted to poison her."
It doesn’t matter if he dies, but her health must not be in trouble!
Somewhat displeased:
"Is that so, ma'am? You pushed Jiaojiao?"
Chu Mu looked at the crushed steamed buns. He wanted to taste them to know how she lived her daily life.
She must be worried about him and doesn't want him to suffer.
There was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.
"That's not the case. I didn't push Lin Jiaojiao. She framed me."
The old woman immediately spoke up, "General, Madam is just quibbling. When Madam pushed Miss Lin, the Second Madam, the Old Madam, and the old servants all saw it clearly. We can all testify that it was Madam who pushed Miss Lin."
Chu Mu's face became darker and darker.
This is a false accusation, an absolute false accusation.
"Puchi" Shen Zhao couldn't help laughing out loud.
Chu Mu's face turned even darker when he heard the laughter. Was she so happy that he was wrongly accused?
Chen Zhao had no idea what Chu Mu was thinking, and his joy was almost written all over his face.
The corners of his mouth turned up, trying hard to suppress a smile.
If there weren't outsiders around, she would have smiled at Chu Mu.
Lin Jiaojiao did not disappoint her and gave Chu Mu such a big gift on the first day.
But she would not feel sorry for Chu Mu, after all, she had experienced too many such situations.
They wanted to put the blame on her for something she hadn't done.
Now she also wants Chu Mu to taste the feeling of being wronged.
It's like having to endure injustice and having no way to seek redress, and having to swallow your anger.
Chen Zhao had a stern face, imitating Chu Mu's usual cold attitude towards her when she was wronged and he didn't believe her.
She said coldly to Chu Mu, "Ms. Shen, you have disappointed me so much. Jiaojiao is an orphan staying at the General's Mansion. Why can't you tolerate her? You have repeatedly come to her for help, and now you dare to push her. You know she is weak, yet you still attack her. When did you become so cruel?"
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, Chu Mu’s eyes widened instantly.
"You don't believe me either? Ah... General, you don't believe me either? I really didn't push Lin Jiaojiao, why don't you believe me?"
It feels so bad to be wronged.
He felt so wronged now, he clearly didn't push Lin Jiaojiao.
Everyone gave false testimony on behalf of Lin Jiaojiao to frame him.
He had no way to defend himself, as he was not good at speaking.
Even Ah Zhao didn't believe him, which made him feel even more upset.
Ah Zhao knew him so well that he definitely knew that he would not push Lin Jiaojiao, let alone do it and not admit it.
But now even Ah Zhao is unwilling to believe him, who else is willing to believe him!
This helplessness made him feel depressed and suffocated.
"Mrs. Shen, how can I trust you? Mother, my second sister-in-law, and all the servants can testify for Lin Jiaojiao. How can I trust you?"
Yes, how could she believe him when so many people falsely accused him.
"You have become unreasonable now. You push the blame on others when you do something wrong. Is it so difficult for Shen to admit her mistake? You should go to Xiyuan immediately to apologize to Jiaojiao." This is what Chu Muchang said to her.
She now returned it all to him, allowing him to understand her situation and difficulties at that time.
Chu Mu was struck by lightning when he heard this.
These words...
He had said these words to A Zhao more than once.
"I..." Chu Mu opened his mouth bitterly, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
Chen Zhao looked at Chu Mu's current appearance, and felt indescribable in his heart, as if she did not feel very happy.
Instead, I felt quite uncomfortable.
He waved his hand and said:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
