She originally wanted to use this method to destroy those precious flowers and trees, and then make the lady furious because of these damaged flowers and plants early tomorrow morning, and then put the blame on Wen Zhu.
In this way, the lady's anger will naturally reduce her trust in Wen Zhu; however, things don't always go as planned...
Generally speaking, in such situations, Wen Zhu would skillfully use his keen observation and scheming, deliberately exaggerating the words and taking the opportunity to extract more useful information from the confession of the offender.
In this situation, the person who did something wrong often says things that he shouldn't say because he feels uneasy or is afraid of being punished more severely.
"Gag her and tie her up tightly. We'll wait until daybreak and hand her over to Madam."
Facing the woman who was caught red-handed, Wen Zhu calmly and decisively gave orders to her men.
After hearing Wen Zhu's instructions, the woman called Yu Lu collapsed instantly, and big tears fell down one after another like pearls from a broken string.
"Oh, Miss, what you said is really interesting. It almost woke me up from my sleep."
Yu Ning, who heard everything clearly, commented sarcastically, her voice full of disdain.
"Your performance this time was truly remarkable. Tomorrow morning, when I report to my master, I will definitely secure a well-deserved reward for you. What do you think?"
Seeing that his friend was willing to help him, Wen Zhu asked Yu Ning for her opinion with a smile.
"Forget it, I can't accept such kindness. It would be more practical for me to go back early and continue sleeping."
As soon as she said this, Yu Ning decisively turned around and quickly left the place.
Afterwards, out of a high sense of responsibility for the things he was in charge of, Wen Zhu once again earnestly instructed all the managers present to closely look after all the plants in the chrysanthemum exhibition hall to prevent any further accidents.
Finally, after confirming that all arrangements were correct, he returned to his room to rest with peace of mind.
After entering the room, Wen Zhu carefully got on the bed and lay down, covering himself with warm and comfortable bedding, preparing to enjoy a good sleep.
But just when she relaxed for a moment, a strong hand suddenly appeared in mid-air and quickly pressed against her abdomen: "How do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
The deep, magnetic male voice asked with full of concern.
Feeling a familiar and friendly aura approaching, Wen Zhu sighed helplessly and replied, "I guess a few of the ten-foot-long curtain trees are at risk of withering..."
After hearing this seemingly insignificant answer, the man named Fu Yu stroked her hair gently and lovingly. "It's okay. If the situation really gets worse, I will find a way to borrow some money from others as soon as possible to make up for the loss. Don't be sad, understand?"
He comforted her patiently.
Hearing this, his originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot: "Can it really be done like that?"
She asked, looking at him expectantly.
"Of course it's no problem. Just wait patiently. Now you should close your eyes and go to sleep."
While speaking, Fu Yu also patted the woman next to him gently, just like parents used to do to comfort their children.
Deeply moved by such caring behavior, Wen Zhu turned over and offered a kiss full of gratitude: "Thank you very much for taking such careful and thoughtful care of my daily life..."
Fu Yu smiled gently, hugged Wen Zhu's thin body, and the two slowly fell asleep.
Surrounded by the night, their breathing became softer and the whole room seemed exceptionally quiet.
The next morning, the morning light filled the earth. Wen Zhu got up and hurried to find Zhao Manxiang to report what happened last night.
"Have you found out?"
Zhao Manxiang turned her head and looked at Wen Zhu with her sharp eyes.
"Yes, it has been confirmed without a doubt. The man himself admitted it."
Wen Zhu answered firmly.
After hearing this, Zhao Manxiang smiled slightly and said, "Humph, how audacious you are to do such a thing in the garden. Go and ask the Duke's wife to apologize. This is a serious matter."
Although her words were calm, they revealed an unquestionable power.
I thought Yu Lu would be more restrained after the last lesson, but I didn't expect her to do such a thing.
This banquet is of vital importance to the Duke's wife. Yu Lu's disturbance may cause Wen Zhu to suffer severe punishment.
Thinking of this, Zhao Manxiang couldn't help but feel a little proud - this matter might be able to further highlight her importance and irreplaceable position in the Sheng family.
Thinking of this, she smiled in front of the mirror.
Seeing this, Wen Zhu, who was standing by, asked softly: "Madam, regarding how to deal with Yu Lu..." She hoped to get clear instructions from Zhao Manxiang.
"Give her thirty lashes as punishment, then send her out of the mansion and arrange for her to live in the farm to the west."
Zhao Manxiang stated her decision calmly and decisively.
The farm was actually assigned to the Zhao family for management as part of her dowry property.
After explaining all this, Wen Zhu came to Xuanheyuan.
She explained the whole story to everyone in detail and bravely took her own responsibilities.
Finally, to dispel everyone's concerns, she added, "In order to ensure that tomorrow's flower viewing event will not be affected in any way, the prince specially borrowed ten pots of precious flowers called 'Shizhang Chuilian' from the Prince of Runan, and personally supervised that they were properly placed in the hall."
"What did you say? Huai Jin even went all the way to the Prince of Runan's Mansion to borrow a huge curtain that was ten feet long?"
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's it."
In response to the Duke's wife's question, Wen Zhu nodded vigorously, with a firm and complex light flashing in his eyes.
After a while, the Duke's wife stared at Wen Zhu, her eyes revealing a hint of seriousness and scrutiny. "Although you bear some responsibility in this incident, you were able to identify the root cause of the problem in a timely manner and find a way to make up for the losses. This attitude is still commendable. Therefore, I have decided to deduct three months' salary from you as punishment. Do you think this is fair?"
"I agree to accept this punishment."
Wen Zhu lowered his head and answered calmly.
Now she knows very well that compared with losing her job or other more severe punishments, a few months' salary is not a big deal. After all, she still has some other businesses running that can make up for this part of the financial loss.
