Chapter 25: Forcing them to fight among themselves
"Ah!" But she suppressed the urge to slap him, her face filled with shock, "It really is my second uncle! I didn't believe it at first. How could my second uncle steal something like that?"
"Sue? You want to sue me! What a joke!" Su Luo's eyes were filled with chilling fear. "As soon as the sun rises, your niece will tie you up and take you to the government office! Let's see who will sue whom!"
Mr. Su, who was half blind, was in agony. He pointed at Su Luo and cursed with gritted teeth, "You damned girl!"
"Just wait, the emperor today values filial piety. If you dare to do this to me, you will not have a good ending!"
"Why don't you help me find a doctor?" Master Su glared at Qin Shu, then turned his anger on her. "You're useless too. Your man was injured like this, and you didn't even fight back?"
Qin Shu, who was awakened, rolled up her sleeves and slapped Su Luo: "You did something to hurt your uncle, so I hit you, you deserve it! I am your second aunt——"
Su Luo grabbed her wrist and slapped her in the face: "Second Aunt? You don't deserve it! This is my General's Mansion, not your doghouse. You're crazy to come to my house and act wild!"
"Tie up these two bastards!"
The five shadow guards stepped forward together, with a stern pressure, making Qin Shu's face turn pale!
Qin Shu covered her aching cheek, feeling both fearful and angry, and trembling, she said, "You dare! You dare! How dare you!"
"I've already done it, so why shouldn't I dare?" Su Luo smiled as she looked at the newly painted hibiscus cardamom on her nails.
"Someone come here!" Master Su shouted, covering his left eye with a bloody hole.
soon--
Steward You and Deputy Steward Li from the General's Mansion came running over.
Steward You was stunned at first when he saw this situation. However, he quickly understood what was happening after seeing the glances from Second Master Su and Qin Shu. He took a few of his most capable servants and quietly stood in front of Second Master Su and his wife, smiling wryly and admonishing them:
"Seventh Miss, six of our sons have died on the battlefield, and our master has committed treason and died. The General's Mansion is in turmoil and cannot withstand any risks. The Madam has become ill from depression, and you have married into a marquisate and are now living in your husband's family. It is difficult for you to take care of your mother's family affairs in a timely manner."
"This General's Mansion still depends on Master Su to help Madam support it~"
"Butler You." Su Luo had a smile on her lips, her watery peach blossom eyes flashing with a sharp cold light. "Don't blame me for not giving you face. Do you have the right to speak here? He stole things from the general's mansion, and you still have the nerve to mediate?"
Steward You was used to being treated like a star by his subordinates. Even Second Master Su and Yun Xueya respected him very much. Being scolded in public, he felt a little angry and said sarcastically:
"Miss Seven, that's not what I meant. This old slave is doing this for your own good—"
"You also know that you are a slave!" Su Luo smiled leisurely, "Those who don't know would think you are half a master. Yun Ran, bring his indenture contract and sell him to the slave market tomorrow!"
Steward You suddenly looked up and forced a smile uglier than tears: "I have toiled for half my life in the General's Mansion, with both merit and hard work. Many servants look up to me as a role model. I just said a few unpleasant words, and you want to sell me off. Isn't that chilling the hearts of everyone in the mansion?"
"How can you convince others by doing this? You've already married into the prince's mansion, and now you want to sell this old slave off. Who will serve the lady then?"
There were about a hundred servants in the general's mansion, and more than half of them rushed over after hearing about this.
A large crowd gathered here, and after hearing these words, the servants had different expressions and thoughts.
"You're quite good at speaking." Su Luo clapped her hands. "Since you want to convince everyone, then I'll do as you wish."
"Zhihua Zhizhong, the two of you go search Butler You's residence."
"Why did the young lady search my residence?" A hint of panic flashed in Butler You's eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
"Search if you want, search if you want. What? Is there anything in this General's Mansion that I can't search?"
Su Luo looked at him coldly.
Steward You was choked speechless. He lowered his head and glanced at a green-clothed servant beside him.
The green-clothed servant quietly retreated and left silently. When there was no one around, he began to run wildly in the night path, taking a shortcut to rush to the housekeeper You's room.
"Zhijin, follow him." Su Luo curled her lips.
"No, mmmmm!" Just as Butler You was about to speak, Zhiguan stuffed a lump of mud into his mouth!
Zhijin moved as fast as a swallow and pulled Zhihua Zhizhong into the dark before the green-clothed servant arrived.
"Shhh."
Zhihua is the only female shadow guard among them. She is quiet but has great insight.
The green-clothed servant climbed into the room through the window, stood on tiptoe, and quietly pried open a wooden board under the bed, revealing a box buried in the soil.
Contains Ru kiln blue and white porcelain, a narrow bottle mouth peony gilded
A vase, a pair of gold-inlaid jade and multicolored tasseled leather belts...
There are also gadgets of all sizes.
And a pawn ticket at the bottom of the box.
He immediately scooped up the things and put them in his arms, intending to throw them into the pond in the garden.
Next moment!
Zhihua patted his shoulder: "Hey! Brother, what are you hiding?"
"Nothing hidden!" The green-clothed servant answered subconsciously, but the next moment he turned around suddenly, fell to the ground in fright, and said as if he had seen a ghost.
"When did you get here? How could you be faster than me? I took a shortcut, which saved me half an incense stick of time..."
"You don't need to worry about that!" Zhihua dragged him out brutally by the collar. "That's perfect. It saves us from searching through all the boxes and drawers."
…
When Butler You was feeling anxious and even panicked, Zhihua violently dragged the green-clothed servant here and threw him to the ground. Then she clasped her fists and said, "Miss, all the things Butler You stole are here."
"Tsk." Looking at the jade artifacts and bottles scattered on the ground.
I've fanned too many people tonight, and my hands are hurting. Su Luo said calmly, "Yun Ran."
Yun Ran pulled out her hand from her sleeve and slapped Steward You. "You lowly slave! How dare you commit such a heinous crime and still try to justify it! We found so many things in your room, it's not enough to sell the slaves. You deserve to be beheaded."
Butler You knelt straight on the ground, his body suddenly bounced to the ground, and he kowtowed continuously!
"Wrong, wrong, this old slave was wrong!" Caught red-handed, Steward You was terrified and cried, "Seventh Miss, please consider this slave's attitude towards the General's Mansion..."
"I don't have time to listen to your sophistry." Su Luo put her hands behind her waist, bent down and smiled at him.
"If there's someone behind you instigating this, I might spare your life. But if there's no one, and you're just trying to steal and get rich, I won't spare you at all!"
Steward You was stunned for a moment, then he raised his forehead, which was covered in dirt, and pointed angrily at Mr. Su and his wife, saying:
"It was them! That's right! It was Master Su and Madam Su who instigated me to steal the jade artifacts from the mansion!"
"Not only that, Second Master Su also asked me to steal a large amount of treasures from the General's Mansion and give them all to him! If I don't agree, Second Master Su will kill me!"
"You know, I'm just a small servant. How could I possibly compete with Second Master Su? I was forced into this horrible mistake. In fact, all those jade artifacts in my room were stolen by Second Master Su!"
