Ever since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, all the household affairs, big and small, have been taken care of by Butler Wu, who has never let her spend any extra time on them.
But this time the situation is different.
Taking in a little maid for one more night is not a big sin in itself. The key is that what this little maid has to do is too big!
It would be fine for Butler Wu to show some kindness and mercy to others, but this person happened to be Ji Yuqing!
This woman is a vicious cannon fodder who is bent on poisoning their mansion!
If you still try to be kind to someone like this, wouldn't that just be causing trouble and hurting yourself?
In order to make the housekeeper deeply realize the "lesson" of his mistake, Jiang Mianmian immediately ordered people to arrest Ji Yuqing, and then she arranged for someone to report the case to the government.
When Ji Yuqing heard that Jiang Mianmian was going to be reported to the police, her face suddenly changed drastically. She panicked and shouted in fear:
"What are you doing? Let me go! Abuse of punishment is against the law..."
Jiang Mianmian looked at the panicked Ji Yuqing in front of him with helplessness and contempt, and said with a sneer:
"Oh, you're quite clear now. You know that lynching is illegal. If you understand that, why did you commit such a serious crime?"
Ji Yuqing looked aggrieved and stammered in defense, "Madam, what did I do wrong? I just poured you a pot of tea."
Jiang Mianmian snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Oh, you make it sound so easy, it's just a pot of tea. But this pot of tea is not simple, it's enough to poison all of us!"
When Ji Yuqing heard Jiang Mianmian's words, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She shook her head desperately to deny it.
"It's unfair, old lady! I'm just a humble and pitiful little maid. How could I have the guts to poison you... Old lady, I... Can I leave now?"
"Haha, it's too late. I gave you a chance to live, but you didn't want it. You asked for it."
After she finished speaking, Jiang Mianmian had someone cover her mouth, not wanting to listen to her excuses anymore!
Let’s not discuss whether Ji Yuqing is really pitiful or not.
When Butler Wu heard that Jiang Mianmian actually suspected Ji Yuqing of poisoning them, he felt a chill running down his spine and instantly realized that this matter was no trivial matter.
You know, if you just expel an ordinary servant from the Marquis's Mansion, it wouldn't be a big deal.
However, if the servant who was driven away actually poisoned the master...
Oh! Thinking of this, the butler couldn't help but take a breath. No, he was going to faint.
Oh my god! What stupid things did I do last night!
Not only did they fail to deal with Ji Yuqing's hidden danger in a timely manner, but they also deliberately kept her for an extra day and arranged for her to continue working. What's even worse is that they actually asked her to personally make tea for Jiang Mianmian...
At this moment, a layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on the butler's forehead, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly.
Butler Wu's face was as pale as paper, and he trembled as he hurriedly asked Jiang Mianmian, "Madam, is there... is there some misunderstanding here?"
He Yueyin and Li Tingxue looked at each other and shouted in their hearts: No, no, no, there is absolutely no possibility of any misunderstanding. These are facts that we have seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears!
Jiang Mianmian remained calm and composed, sitting leisurely on the chair and responding slowly:
"Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know the truth once the authorities come to investigate. Anyway, I'm only responsible for reporting the case. As for how the authorities conduct their investigation, that's not my responsibility."
After saying that, Jiang Mianmian's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an elusive smile.
Sure enough, not long after, the government officials arrived at the poisoning scene in the marquis' mansion.
After they inquired about the whole incident in detail, they carefully wrapped the teapot that was suspected of containing poison with cloth, packed it into a box and prepared to take it back for further inspection and analysis.
All other items that Ji Yuqing had touched, including the package she had packed last night, were packed up and taken away.
For now, we can only wait for the results of the follow-up investigation before making further plans and handling the matter.
In fact, Ji Yuqing had been taken away by government officials that morning.
However, what was unexpected was that by the afternoon, the news of this incident had spread throughout the entire mansion as fast as wings.
