After sending Chen Ying in, Feicui found another room, tied up Nanny Zhang, and stuffed a piece of rag into her mouth.
Afterwards, she found Xiaoxi, the maid who had gone to deliver the message to Shen Yue, and whispered to her, "Go and tell the Madam that this is done."
Xiaoxi looked at Feicui in surprise and disbelief.
Jadeite coughed lightly and said, "I am also the eldest lady's person, you go quickly."
Xiaoxi had been serving in Beiyuan and was unfamiliar with the people in the mansion. She had no idea that Feicui was Su Qingyu's personal maid. After hearing Feicui's words, she didn't doubt it and turned to report the news.
After sending Xiaoxi away, Feicui took Shenyue to secretly look for Su Qingyu. This matter still needed Madam's decision, as the eldest Madam must have a trick up her sleeve.
Su Qingyu was currently in the west courtyard corridor, meeting with the various managers one by one. Anything the managers could not decide, or anything controversial, they would report to her for the final decision.
Zhenzhu quietly walked to Su Qingyu's side and said, "Madam, Feicui has come with the third young lady. They are waiting in the backyard room. It seems that they have something important to tell you."
Su Qingyu's eyebrows raised slightly. She couldn't be careless about Shen Yue's matter. Seeing that the stewards had said everything they needed to say, she dismissed everyone and walked towards the backyard.
When I walked in, Shen Yue was pacing back and forth on the ground, looking panicked. Feicui beside her was calm, standing aside with her hands hanging down.
Seeing Su Qingyu coming in, Shen Yue seemed to have found her backbone, and she walked forward and threw herself into Su Qingyu's arms.
"Aunt San, I was scared to death."
The little girl was obviously pretending to be calm just now. Now she threw herself into Su Qingyu's arms, her voice trembling.
Su Qingyu gently stroked Shen Yue's back and asked softly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Although he was asking Chen Yue, his eyes were looking at Feicui.
Jade walked closer and whispered what had just happened.
After hearing Feicui's words, Su Qingyu remained silent for a long time. Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint. The Chen mother and daughter had actually done such a heartless thing.
She was angry and scared. Fortunately, she let Feicui go, otherwise who knows how big a mess would have been today.
Su Qingyu felt a chill down her spine when she thought of how Shen Yue was almost thrown onto the bed of that old man, Prince Duan.
Feicui hesitated and asked Su Qingyu, "Madam, if we get angry and throw the second young lady in, won't that cause trouble for you, Madam?"
She felt relieved when she threw him away, but on the way back she felt a little regretful. The affairs of the Shen family were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, and it was not easy for the lady to gain a foothold in the Shen family step by step.
She was afraid that her impulsiveness would cause trouble for the lady.
After hearing what Feicui said, Shen Yue obviously thought of all this. She looked at Su Qingyu and asked in a tearful voice, "Aunt San, have I caused you any trouble?"
Su Qingyu reached out and wiped the tears from Shen Yue's face, comforting her: "You did the right thing. If I were there, I would have been even more ruthless."
"I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied. Don't worry about it, leave it to me."
In her previous life, Shen Yue was the second wife of Prince Duan. In this life, she wanted to make Shen Ying a lowly concubine and let her taste a taste even worse than Shen Yue's previous life.
Su Qingyu looked at Shen Yue and said softly, "Just stay in the West Courtyard. You don't need to interfere with what happens next."
Then he ordered Feicui, "Go call Jinping and Yinping who are by Chenying's side, and also bring Nanny Zhang over."
Su Qingyu had been in charge of the inner chambers for over a month, and not a single servant in the various courtyards had been moved. However, she had thoroughly investigated the people in each courtyard. She already knew who could be moved, who could be moved, and how to move them.
Jin Ping and Yin Ping are second-class maids in Shen Ying's courtyard, and they are sisters.
When they were brought in, both of them looked stunned, not understanding why the Third Madam called them in on such a day.
Su Qingyu sat at the main seat.
Jin Ping and Yin Ping knelt in the middle of the hall and said, "Pay your respects to the Third Madam."
Su Qingyu glanced at the two of them and spoke.
"I called you here to tell you something. You need to betray the Second Young Lady. Once you have thought of it, give me your answer."
"After this is done, I will give you one hundred taels of silver, allow you to return home, and return your indentures."
Jin Ping and Yin Ping were from Baoding Prefecture, and Jin Ping had been engaged at home, but because she had sold herself to the Shen family, the marriage had been delayed.
Jin Ping once said that her greatest wish was to become Chen Ying's first-class maid, so that she could ask Chen Ying to let her leave the house.
The conditions proposed by Su Qingyu were undoubtedly a huge temptation for the two sisters.
The two looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.
They were not that loyal to Chen Ying to begin with. No matter what they did, it was worth it as long as they could go home and get a hundred taels of silver.
Jin Ping said, "Please give your instructions, Madam San."
Su Qingyu called the two people forward and whispered a few words to them.
Jin Ping didn't expect the matter to be so simple, and pressed on, "Are you serious about what the Third Madam said? As long as we make these two statements clear, you will let us leave the house and return the money?"
Su Qingyu smiled faintly, "Don't question what this lady says. I can still do this. But you also have to do what I ask of you."
Jinping and Yinping nodded heavily. This was their chance.
After the two of them left, Feicui came in with Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang knelt politely and said, "Greetings to the Third Madam. The Third Madam asked me to come here. Is there something?"
Su Qingyu looked at Nanny Zhang steadily. This person was not like the two sisters just now. She was Chen's dowry nanny. It would be a bit difficult to get her to betray Chen, but there was a way.
"Madam Zhang, I called you here today because I want you to help me with something."
"Third Madam, you are joking. I am an old servant with clumsy hands. How can I help you?"
Su Qingyu snorted, "Madam Zhang, I haven't settled accounts with you for what you did to the Third Young Miss yet. If you continue with this attitude, we have to talk it over."
Aunt Zhang was clearly prepared. "I don't understand what Third Madam said."
She didn't know that Shen Ying had been thrown into Prince Duan's room. She thought Shen Yue and Feicui had just knocked her out and brought her here for the Third Lady to interrogate.
She had also made up her mind to say she knew nothing. Without substantial evidence, the Third Lady wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Su Qingyu knew she would react like this, and said with a smile, "Madam Zhang, what would my eldest sister-in-law think if she knew that the second young lady was currently serving Prince Duan?"
"Will you blame me for not doing my job well?"
