Chapter 186 Thinking Xu Muhua is a soft persimmon

Xu Muhua finally pushed away Huzai who was clinging to her, picked up the thing Huzai threw aside, looked at it for a while, and asked uncertainly: "Is this a key?"

"How should I know!"

The grandfather replied.

It looks like a key, but not quite.

"Are you sure this is what Qiu Shuang hid in my room?"

The grandfather looked at her sideways, "Sure!"

Xu Muhua took a closer look, and finally felt that this thing should be a key. It's just that it's different from the common keys. The shape of this key is too strange.

According to the previous incident, this key should be the key that Li Gang's people bribed Qiu Shuang to hide in her room. If the people in Jingzhao Prefecture find the key, they can prove that they are related to what happened last night.

That is to say, Li Gang should have prepared some "gift" for her, just waiting for the people in Jingzhao Prefecture to find the key, and then use it to open something, so that the incident last night can be smoothly pinned on the Chengguo Mansion.

Where is the thing that this key can open?

Xu Muhua set her eyes on the master, with a smile on her face, "Master, you see, things have come to this, why don't you help me to the end and help me find the box that this key can open?"

The master looked at her with a haughty look, "I knew you would come up with this idea! Don't worry, this master has already arranged it!"

Xu Muhua happily hugged the master and ravaged him, sucking him hard! Huzai watched from the side and wanted to join in without saying anything. One man, one cat and one tiger rolled into a ball on the couch, making a mess of the things on the couch. Huzai even accidentally swept all the porcelain bottles on the low table to the ground.

After playing with the eldest master and Huzai, Xu Muhua remembered to deal with serious matters.

Qiu Shuang was brought in by Nanny Qian and knelt on the ground. Xu Muhua sat on the wide chair and looked at Qiu Shuang with cold eyes: "Tell me the truth, who told you to hide these things in my room."

She threw the key in front of Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang's expression froze, and panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, looking innocent, "Miss, what are you talking about? I don't understand. These things of yours are not my business! You should ask Shi Liu."

She used to be in charge, but ever since the young lady fell from the attic, she gradually distanced herself from her after she recovered. In the end, she was demoted in name only, and completely excluded her, so that she could only do the work of a low-level maid outside.

Thinking of these things, Qiu Shuang felt wronged and full of resentment.

"You're talking nonsense to me? Do you think I won't do anything to you? Just don't admit it."

Xu Muhua didn't have so much free time to listen to her excuses.

Qiu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of pride flashed in her eyes.

She knew that as long as she didn't admit it, the eldest lady couldn't do anything to her and wouldn't do anything to her!

She had been serving the eldest lady for several years and thought she knew her very well. Because they were not biological daughters, the eldest lady seemed unaffected on the surface, but in fact, the eldest lady cared about this matter very much.

The eldest lady didn't dare to make a single mistake, for fear that the people in the mansion would blame her and be disappointed in her. Even when the servants serving in the yard were not attentive, she would tolerate it and never mentioned it to the lady and the old lady. On the surface, she would pretend that nothing had happened.

The eldest lady felt that she was not a biological daughter of the Xu family, and the servants were all servants of the Xu family. She was lucky to enjoy the treatment of a lady in the mansion. How could she be qualified to be the same as a real lady?

This is one of the reasons why Qiu Shuang didn't take Xu Muhua seriously from the bottom of her heart.

She felt that Xu Muhua was a soft persimmon, no matter how others squeezed her, she would not resist, let alone complain.

As time went on, Qiu Shuang became arrogant. With Xu Jinyu supporting her from behind, she looked down on Xu Muhua even more.

But she didn't know that the current Xu Muhua had already changed his mind.

"Madame Qian, you used to work in the palace, you must know a lot of torture methods that people outside the palace don't know. Madam Qian has been here for quite a while, but I haven't had the chance to see your abilities! Let me open my eyes today!"

Madam Qian understood, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Qiu Shuang suddenly became meaningful, and she was eager to try.

Yes, she hadn't used her hands for a long time, so her hands were itchy.

"Don't worry, young lady. I know a lot, but I haven't used them for a long time, so I'm afraid I'm a little rusty. But it will only take a while to practice. I guarantee that Qiu Shuang will get a taste of it and will tell you everything she knows."

Qiu Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then she finally understood something after a slow reaction. She immediately panicked, "Young lady, what are you going to do? You can't do this to me! I didn't do anything!"

Xu Muhua was too lazy to listen to her yelling, so she waved her hand and asked Madam Qian to drag her away.

Qiu Shuang wanted to scream, but Wu'er quickly blocked her mouth. In the end, she was dragged out with a horrified look.

Madam Qian was really amazing, and she came back soon.

"Miss, that damn girl Qiu Shuang confessed. She said that it was the gatekeeper Mama Zhang who found her and gave her 100 taels of silver, and told her that as long as she hid the key in the lady's cabinet, she didn't have to do anything else. She agreed without asking what the key was for."

Xu Muhua sneered, "100 taels of silver is indeed a lot of money, no wonder she did it without asking. What's the matter with this Mama Zhang?"

"According to Qiu Shuang, she usually has a good relationship with Mama Zhang. Some time ago, she complained that she didn't have enough money to spend, so Mama Zhang came to her. As for the details, Qiu Shuang doesn't know."

"Miss, do you think you should call Mother Zhang over to ask?"

Xu Muhua hesitated for a while and said, "Call Mother Zhang quietly, and don't alarm the Madam and the old lady first."

"Don't worry, Miss."

Mother Zhang came over quickly. She was probably nervous all the way because she felt guilty.

After entering Fenghua Garden and knowing Qiu Shuang's fate, she knelt down with a plop and explained everything clearly without Xu Muhua's interrogation.

Mother Zhang said that it was her fellow villager who took the initiative to find her, and her fellow villager happened to work in the Li Mansion. The fellow villager said that he wanted her to do a small favor, and as long as she was willing to help, she would help solve her grandson's schooling problem. When she heard this, even if she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't resist the temptation!

She had been a slave for others all her life, and she hoped that her grandson would have a bright future.

Who wouldn't want to change their fate through this path, whether they were scholars, farmers, merchants or artisans?

There are many schools and academies in Beijing, but she wanted her grandson to go to a good one. But money alone is not enough, you also need connections. Just when
