37 Good at managing subordinates!
"What happened next?" Xiao Tingyun kept his tone consistent, giving people a soothing feeling and making people relax unconsciously.
The maid swallowed her saliva. "When I woke up, I found that... the young lady was missing. I wanted to look for her, but then I heard that something happened in the guest room, so I hurried over. I was afraid it was the third young lady, so..."
Xiao Tingyun looked around at the two maids. The one who didn't speak kept her head down, and her expression couldn't be seen clearly. She just held the hem of her clothes tightly and twisted it nervously.
"You just said that you heard some noise in the guest room and came here, is that true?"
"It's true."
Xiao Tingyun continued to ask, "Have you been serving your daughter since she was a child?"
The maid lowered her head, and guilt flashed in her eyes when she heard this question, "Yes!"
She is right! She just wants a good future!
"Didn't you cry for help?"
The maid who spoke explained unnaturally, "I was very anxious, and at the same time I heard that something happened in the guest room, so I was anxious to come and look for someone, so, that's why..."
"Actually..." The maid who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.
"Actually what?" Xiao Tingyun became excited and asked hurriedly.
"Actually, I wanted to shout for help, but Sister Xiaodie wouldn't let me. She said the noise came from the guest room and something must have happened. Why don't we go to the guest room and take a look first?" The maid lowered her head and whispered the original situation.
"Xiao Die" was the maid who had been talking. Xiao Die woke up first and patted her awake. She was very panicked and scared. Remembering that the young lady was missing, she planned to shout for help.
But Xiaodie stopped her and said that something happened in the guest room and there must be many people there, and the young lady might be there too.
Xiao Tingyun chuckled, "This is really interesting. A maid who has had a deep bond with her master since childhood, saw her master being murdered with her own eyes. The first thing she did when she woke up was not to look for someone, but to watch the fun?"
Xu Huaili, who was hiding in the back, whispered and curled his lips. The woman's confident, fearless and playful look was pleasing to the eye. Xu Huaili rubbed the scar on his palm for a moment, then left the Zhang Mansion.
"This maid must have supernatural powers. She knows that her mistress must be here, waiting to see the show!"
Yang Mingzhu agreed loudly, and Xiao Tingqi also said very firmly, "That's right!"
Madam Zhang had a cold face and said angrily, "You knew that there was a thief in the mansion, why didn't you notify the mansion's steward to catch the thief?"
Xiaodie cried out in injustice, "Madam, I was afraid that the young lady's reputation would be ruined, so I didn't dare to call anyone!"
Zhang Chuchu also realized that the maid beside her might have had ulterior motives. She struggled to grab Xiaodie's clothes and was furious. "Tell me! Did you hurt me? Why did you hurt me?!"
"No, it's not me! I wouldn't dare to do that, Miss!" Xiaodie explained anxiously.
Mrs. Zhang was upset by the mess and said, "Pull her away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant pulled the man away.
"Madam Zhang, I think this is a matter of your own backyard. It would be better for you to interrogate the maid and not let others make random accusations against a good person!" Song Wanrou said sarcastically.
Zhang Hanyue, the "other person", had an unhappy expression on her face, but it looked like there must be something wrong with the maid.
"Let's go. This show is getting more and more boring." Song Wanrou took her daughter's hand, left the scene in a high-profile manner after saying this.
"You can't leave!" Zhang Hanyue was anxious, "She is not without suspicion. What if she bribed this maid and wanted to frame others?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Wanrou laughed, "Are you saying that my daughter bribed the servants in your mansion to frame others when she went out for the first time and came to the Taifu Mansion to attend the banquet?"
Madam Zhang simply couldn't bear to look at her stupid daughter. She had been smart all her life, so how could she give birth to such a fool?
"Should I say that my daughter has great powers, or should I say that the servants in your Taifu Mansion are so vulnerable that they can even easily bribe a girl they have never met. Your Taifu Mansion really has no way of managing subordinates." Song Wanrou mocked Madam Zhang, as if she was stepping on her face.
Especially the last sentence "no way to manage subordinates" is even more ridiculous. Everyone in Kyoto knows that Madam Zhang has always been good at managing subordinates and is praised by everyone in Kyoto.
But the truth is still unknown.
"Yeah, let's go, I have things to do at home."
"Yes, yes, let's go together."
"That's right. It's better not to disturb other people's family affairs."
Madam Zhang gritted her teeth and asked, "Why did you insist on staying when I said this was a family matter just now? Now you remember it is a family matter?" ? ?
What a shameless group of people!
When Xiao Tingqi saw the person leaving, he poked Xiao Tingxue beside him with his hand and said, "Gone!"
Xiao Tingxue quietly looked at the person kneeling on the ground. Liu Xianming's turbid eyes stared at Xiao Tingyun's back with an obsessive look, and turned his head to meet a pair of cold eyes.
The corners of Xiao Tingxue's mouth rose slightly, and Liu Xianming was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, afraid that someone would notice something unusual.
"Let's go." He said to Xiao Cui beside him in a low voice and left the guest room.
Liu Xianming dared to raise his head after a long while. He swallowed his saliva unwillingly and his head was covered in cold sweat.
Hearing the ridicule from the crowd, Zhang Hanyue stomped her feet, pouted and cried, and ran back to her yard.
She knew that there was no hope for her to marry General Xu.
Madam Zhang didn't want to see the fool Zhang Chuchu, so she waved her hand impatiently and asked the servants to tie up the man and another maid and throw them back to her yard.
Liu Xianming was also tied up and thrown into the woodshed.
"Madam, that girl?" the nanny beside her asked with a squinting look.
Madam Zhang gave the nanny a cold look, and she immediately understood what she meant.
After finding out the truth, he just beat her to death with sticks!
If you don't say it's easy to do, there are many ways in this mansion to make people talk!

In the carriage.
Song Wanrou was worried about her daughter's feet and thought about what happened before. She didn't know where to start.
Xiao Tingyun leaned in Song's arms, carefully feeling the warmth of his mother.
"Mom, I'm fine. Nothing happened. Don't worry."
Song sighed, "You, you should find a rope to tie you to me all the time, so that you can be safe."
"Hehe..." Xiao Tingyun's eyes curved, "Mother, you don't have to tie me up with a rope. I will be safe. By then, mother will have to watch my hair turn white, my teeth fall out, and my back bend."
Song slapped her in anger, "What am I now? An old monster?!"
"How can mother grow old? Mother is always the most beautiful. Go back and ask father and you will know."
"You're here again. The scar hasn't healed yet, and you're starting to act up again." Song Wanrou touched her daughter's face, feeling both angry and amused.
Xiao Tingyun felt better when he sensed that Song was slightly relaxed.
He took over her daughter's body and enjoyed all their care and love.
She truly treated them as her own parents, and understood their fear for her.
