Chapter 138: Struck by Thunder



Xiao Tao hurried to the front to stop them, "My young lady hasn't even finished dressing yet, it's against the rules for you to barge in like this!"

The nanny in front looked at Xiao Tao with a cold expression, "It's the old lady who invited us today! We don't have that much time to wait outside!"

Come on, the nanny with a face full of flesh looked at Su Jinyue lying on the bed, "Miss, please follow our servant for a while!"

Su Jinyue rubbed her eyes and sat up calmly, "Grandmother wants to see you, what's the urgent matter?"

The nanny showed disdain and said, "Miss, you should go ask it yourself. We are just following orders."

Xiao Tao anxiously handed over the coat, "Miss, be careful not to catch a cold."

Su Jinyue put it on casually, but looked directly at the nanny, "Since it is grandma's order, I will go with you."

"But you barged into my yard without permission. Can you bear the responsibility?!"

Mammy was startled, her expression changed slightly, but she still said with gritted teeth: "Miss, you'd better hurry up, we'll talk about our guilt later, the old lady is waiting for you!"

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly gentle but with a bit of pressure, which made her lower her head.

"very good."

She looked at Xiao Tao calmly, "The maid who first broke into my room will be flogged five times, Xiao Tao, you will do it!"

"Everyone else, follow me to the front hall to look for a place to rent."

The maid was about to explode on the spot, "Miss! You have no right to treat your servant like this!"

Su Jinyue looked at her coldly, "If you dare to resist today, I will punish you with ten more lashes when I come back!"

"Yes, miss."

Surrounded by a group of maids and nannies, Su Jinyue came to the old lady's flower hall.

In the hall, the old lady was sitting at the top, holding a rosary in her hand and looking into the distance.

"Jin Yue! I can let bygones be bygones, but your second uncle went to give you gifts yesterday! But the things he took out of your yard were all fake! What the hell is going on?!"

Yesterday, Liu couldn't wait to take a lot of things from her.

Today I found out it was fake. It seems that those counterfeits they made can't fool people at all.

Today, Liu treated Su Jinyue like a nobody!

She slammed her hands on the table and glared at Su Jinyue with her eyes wide open. "I thought you were a good person! You let me take things from your warehouse so easily!"

"I thought you were really helping your second uncle! I didn't expect you to use such a vicious method to plot against your second uncle!"

Old Lady Su was also very angry and looked at Su Jinyue with a gloomy look, "You disappoint grandma so much!"

Su Zhiyao, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw this scene and became happy in her heart.

She held Jiang Caiping's arm and said innocently, "Mother, yesterday my sister stopped giving away the treasures in the storehouse. What happened today?"

"What's wrong?" Liu squeezed out a sound from her nose, "She pretended to be generous and gave me a fake imitation! Qiaoshan was scolded so much that he is lying in bed today and can't get out of bed!"

Su Zhiyao pretended to be surprised and covered her lips, "Sister, this is what you are wrong about. You have already promised aunt, so why are you doing this?"

"It's all because of her things. I can't bear to give them away but I want to pretend to be generous!" Liu said.

Jiang Caiping frowned and looked at Su Jinyue, "Is what your aunt said true?"

After everyone finished speaking, Su Jinyue immediately bowed, "Grandmother and aunt, I don't know about this!"

After Su Jinyue bowed, she looked at Old Lady Su and said, "Grandma, I don't eat anything that Aunt would borrow from me in the storehouse."

"I said I would lend it to my aunt that day, and she went to get it then. How could I have the chance to give her a fake?"

Old Madam Su was stunned, as if this was really the case.

Su Jinyue continued to explain: "As for what my aunt said, that I deliberately plotted to harm my uncle, that is nonsense. How could I, the legitimate daughter of a marquis, do such a thing?"

Jiang Caiping immediately said: "Although Jinyue has a strong temper, she is a filial and sensible child and will never do such a thing."

Liu snorted coldly: "Sister-in-law is really protective! Then tell me, what are those things about!"

She pointed at the two boxes of counterfeit antique jades and said angrily, "Don't tell me that they became counterfeits for no reason just because they were placed in your warehouse!"

Su Jinyue took a look at the two boxes and said, "These are the gifts from His Majesty and His Majesty. I don't normally use them."

"All the things are locked in the warehouse. Xiao Tao and Lan Shao are in charge of the warehouse. Why don't you call them both over to ask what's going on?"

Suddenly, Old Lady Su hesitated.

Lan Shao is her person. If her people cause trouble, it will probably not end well.

However, she guessed that Lan Shao didn't have the courage to do so. Old Lady Su raised her chin to Nanny Song beside her and said, "Go and call those two maids over!"

"Yes." Nanny Song immediately bowed and took people to Wangyuexuan to bring Xiaotao and Lanshao over.

In less than half a cup of tea, Nanny Song led Xiaotao and Lanshao into the house.

After Xiaotao and Lanshao paid their respects, they stood respectfully at the foot of the hall.

Nanny Song reported to the old lady: "Old lady, I have brought them here."

Old Lady Su looked at Xiaotao and Lanshao, and seeing that they looked frank, her doubts gradually disappeared.

"Do you know what's in those two boxes?"

Xiao Tao looked at the box next to her and nodded calmly, "Reporting to the old lady, the things in this box are from my young lady's storeroom."

Bang!

Liu suddenly slammed the table and said, "Knowing that these are things from your young lady's storeroom, did you servants replace the real things with fake ones?!"

Su Zhiyao was also fanning the dark wind and lighting the ghost fire beside her, "Sister, you better be careful."

"Although Xiaotao is your personal maid and is the one you trust the most, you would not suspect that she was the one who stole the things."

Without waiting for Su Jinyue to speak, Xiao Tao fell to her knees with a thud. She knocked her head down with a thud!

"Old Madam, please understand! I have never touched anything in the storehouse. If you accuse me of touching anything in the storehouse, I swear to be struck by lightning!"

Hearing Xiao Tao's powerful tone, Old Lady Su's expression finally relaxed, but she still had a gloomy face and did not speak.

Liu sneered, "Who would believe you?"

"Then tell me, where did the things in your lady's storeroom go?!"

Xiao Tao raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Sister Lan Shao and I are the ones who look after the things in the warehouse."

"Besides, I usually serve the young lady and rarely go to the warehouse to check. The things in the warehouse have always been managed by Sister Lan Shao."

Lan Shao was shocked and immediately knelt down, "Old Madam, I am innocent!"

Before she could even say why she was wronged, Su Jinyue interrupted her coldly.

"What are you accusing of?"

Su Jinyue looked down at her with disdain, "I didn't say that you stole the things. The warehouse was originally guarded by the two of you. How could I wrongly accuse you?"

Lan Shao suddenly became a little flustered, "This servant... this servant means..."
