It seems that my previous plan is not going to work. I wanted to use this old woman to expose the affair between the two, so that they would clash with the county governor and die at the hands of any of them.
I didn't expect that they would play it first.
This dog official cannot die in his own hands. To be more precise, he cannot let the county governor's death have anything to do with him.
Otherwise, it will harm the villagers. It seems that we have to find another way.
When he was about to turn around and leave, he found someone behind the tree. He looked around and quietly walked over.
Seeing a girl wearing clothes similar to her own, but with a more refined style, Mu Jin guessed that she was a maidservant of one of the masters in the mansion.
I can eavesdrop here, I don't know if it's accidental or following here
Mu Jin looked at the person in front of her and saw tears in his eyes. She must have followed him here. It looked like her lover had been robbed.
My lover, it can't be the one inside, right?
Mu Jin immediately came up with another plan.
"Sister, I don't know why I'm crying here."
Hibiscus asked softly
Hibiscus put on a human skin mask, not ugly, but also hard to remember
The maid glanced at Mu Jin, said nothing, and turned away.
Hibiscus followed closely
"Don't get me wrong, sister. I just came to the housekeeper to ask for something. I didn't expect to encounter this. Oh, look at my mouth. I've stained your ears. Pah, pah, pah."
The old woman's voice was no longer under control in the quiet night.
The people outside the courtyard heard it clearly, and the servants who had been in this mansion for many years knew what was going on.
Mu Jin speculated that the relationship between the maid and the man might be useful, so she deliberately said
"You look unfamiliar. Which courtyard are you from? Why are you looking for the housekeeper so late at night?"
The maid is very good at talking.
"Don't blame me for misunderstanding you, sister. I just arrived at Madam Liu's courtyard not long ago. The master asked me to come find the housekeeper, and I didn't realize what was going on. As a servant, how dare I ask about the master's affairs?"
Aunt Liu is the concubine, who was vaguely guessed from the conversation between several people.
"Hmph, it's definitely not a good thing for Aunt Liu to visit the housekeeper at night. I must inform Madam about this."
Oh, so it's from the county magistrate's wife's courtyard.
Hibiscus pretended to be frightened
"I was wondering why your sister's demeanor was so different from ours. Turns out she's from the Madam's courtyard."
The maid was proudly complimented by Mu Jin.
"The voices in that courtyard don't sound like the housekeeper's. I don't know who is in that courtyard."
Mu Jin brought the topic back to the topic
Seeing the maid's face change in the dark night
"I don't know when my sister came. I vaguely heard the conversation inside when I came."
Mu Jin paused, and saw that the maid didn't say anything, but was obviously waiting for Mu Jin to continue.
"It seems like something like a monthly salary, but how can a maid compare to a lady's? I was far away and didn't hear it clearly, so I don't know what it means."
Except for the monthly salary increase, the rest is all made up by Mu Jin. It is wrong for bad people to marry, but it is better not to have a man who climbs into bed for money.
After Mu Jin finished speaking, the maid turned around and said to Mu Jin
"If you want to live, stay away from here"
After saying that, he left quickly
Mu Jin followed quietly as if she was watching a fun event, and saw the maid enter the courtyard of the county magistrate's wife.
A quarter of an hour later, a large group of people came to the housekeeper's courtyard.
Mu Jin, who had already changed into a servant's attire, mixed in the crowd and watched the housekeeper's old woman and a young man being held naked on the ground.
"Where's the housekeeper?"
At that time, the county magistrate also arrived at the courtyard of Mujin. After entering the house, he found one dead and one mad. The beauty was gone, and he was so angry that he screamed like a pig.
The people who followed him were too angry to speak and hurried to find the housekeeper.
