Facing the aloof and powerful Madam Wu, Zi Mi felt somewhat timid.
"Madam, please, please do justice for Madam Gu! She was pushed into the water..."
Zimi started crying as soon as she started talking.
Xu asked again, "Who pushed you into the water? Did you see it clearly?"
Purple Rice suddenly looked gloomy again.
It was a man, and he moved with incredible speed; she could barely see him clearly.
Madam Xie also said, "Think about it carefully. This matter concerns the life of your Madam Gu, as well as the life of Young Master Shao."
Zimi's face was as white as paper.
"It wasn't just me who saw it! The wet nurse, Young Master Shao's wet nurse, saw it too!"
What good would it do to see the wet nurse?
She was still holding Ah Shao tightly in that room, her teeth clenched.
No one is allowed to approach at all.
Asking this question yielded no results.
Instead, it caused widespread panic within the household.
The situation was reaching a stalemate.
Pearl's face already showed a smug look.
Even Qiao Jingjing, who was just listening in, noticed the unusual look on Pearl's face.
Not to mention Madam Wu.
Madam Wu scolded, "Your master has fallen into the water, what kind of expression is that?"
Madam Xie also joined in the scolding.
"You silly girl, are you getting arrogant and conceited just because you happened to pass by and discovered your merit?"
Madam Xu also said, "Even though you're now following Madam Qiao and are doing a bit better, you're still just a servant. If you can't even handle these things, what use are you?"
The mother-in-law and her daughters-in-law grabbed Qiao Jingjing's maid and started scolding her.
Qiao Jingjing remained unmoved.
Pearl had been smug, but as she was being scolded, her face fell.
She turned around in front of everyone, looking at Qiao Jingjing with a resentful expression.
"Madam! The Grand Madam and the other ladies are making things difficult for me, and you won't even say a word for Pearl? Pearl was ordered by you today."
Okay, there's more to that statement than meets the eye.
The snake is about to emerge from its hole.
Qiao Jingjing is not in a hurry.
Madam Wu had already sensed something was amiss.
Madam Wu pointed at Pearl and ordered Madam Xu to interrogate her.
"Go and ask! What orders? What orders? Make this girl explain herself."
Xu did indeed go and ask.
Pearl knelt on the ground and laughed heartily.
"What orders! What more orders do you need? Our Madam Qiao is currently favored and treated like a precious treasure. Can Madam Gu compare? Madam Gu is just a stepmother to Young Master Shao. Young Master Shao wasn't born to her! Hahahahahahaha."
