"Since you cooperate so well, your family will be fine."
"Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am!" The servant kowtowed in gratitude. Miao Yuan glanced at the housekeeper, who understood and ordered the people behind him, "Drag the man away."
Then everyone left the room.
Tian You went to the servant's room to interrogate him, but unexpectedly found that the servant had bitten his tongue to commit suicide, making it impossible to ask for any information.
Tian You was a little crazy, his anger rising, "This, this is murder to silence the witness!"
Then she took a few deep breaths and said, "Go see the butler!"
Although the housekeeper did not openly frame her today, she felt that the housekeeper was also one of the people who obstructed her!
In the courtyard, Tian You walked in, and the housekeeper quickly saluted her: "Greetings, Aunt Tian."
Tian You looked at him with a sinister look in his eyes: "Tell me, are you teaming up with the eldest lady to deal with me?"
"Mrs. Tian, where did you hear this information? How dare this old servant deal with you? It must be someone else who instigated this nonsense!"
The housekeeper didn't admit it, and Tian You wasn't surprised at all. She chuckled and said, "Then I'd like to ask, how did a servant like him, who was detained by the master, plant the banknotes in this lady's room? The problem lies with you guys who went to search, right?"
"Madam Tian, I have been loyal to the Prime Minister's Mansion for decades. You doubt me, and I have nothing to say. But I hope you can provide evidence as Master said. Only in this way can we be convinced."
Tian You squinted her eyes and looked at him. The current housekeeper had no respect for her at all!
She withdrew her gaze, walked away, and went to the pharmacy before leaving the house.
It wasn't until nightfall that Tian You returned from outside the mansion. He went to the medicine shop to investigate, and surprisingly, the account book only recorded 20 taels of silver...
She was so angry that she asked the pharmacy to reconcile the goods and accounts one by one for her to see. If they didn't match, she would report them to the authorities and accuse them of taking money and framing her.
If the servants hadn't stopped her in time, she might have been crippled!
She returned to the Prime Minister's residence exhausted. As soon as she sat down, a servant came to report, "Madam Tian, I just saw Mingyan enter the housekeeper's room."
Tian You was originally listless, but he immediately perked up after hearing these words.
"Are you seeing right?"
"What this servant saw was absolutely true!"
Tian You narrowed his eyes: "Great! Finally I have something to hold against you!"
She couldn't wait to stand up and take people to find the housekeeper.
In a courtyard, Tian You walked in quietly with a maid.
The housekeeper's house was not guarded by any servants. A candle was lit in the room. The two of them moved closer to the window and put their ears close to it to listen for any movement.
"It's getting late, I'll go back first." A bright voice came from inside.
Afterwards, the two of them walked outside, and the housekeeper's voice rang out: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Did you seduce me before so that I could help you deal with Aunt Tian?"
Tian You was lying on the window and eavesdropping from the corner. He immediately became alert when he heard the news.
Mingyan looked back at the housekeeper and responded with a smile: "I am just a slave. Although you are also a slave, you at least have a job. I will follow you for the rest of my life and never have to worry about food and clothing. I think it's good. So even if it wasn't for Aunt Tian, I would choose to follow you without hesitation!"
The housekeeper was not very satisfied with this answer: "Then we will get married soon, you can stay with me tonight!"
"Mrs. Tian is investigating you now. Should I stay and wait to be caught?"
Mingyan walked out, feeling a little annoyed.
The door hadn't been fully opened when the housekeeper closed it first. He was a little annoyed: "I'll let you go after I'm done with this!"
Outside the house, Tian You's eyes lit up as he urged the maidservant beside him, "Go quickly and call more people!"
The maid nodded in understanding and left.
The scene in the room gradually became lively.
Tian You poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside.
Inside the room, Mingyan was obviously a little resistant, but the butler was a man, and Mingyan had no power to fight back.
She was very excited, and today she wanted to see how Miao Yuan would explain!
The maid quickly brought people over. They were very careful and didn't make any noise, and the two people in the room were unaware of it.
Tian You ordered the others, "This concubine has been framed today. Now is our chance to turn the tables. Go in and arrest the perpetrator!"
Afterwards, the door was pushed open and a group of people rushed in.
Inside the room, the two were frightened by the sudden crash and looked outside the door. They hurriedly covered themselves in panic, but several people had already rushed in.
"You are so brave!"
He had just finished shouting when he saw Tian You walking out from behind the crowd and immediately stopped shouting.
Tian You looked at the two with disdain: "You two are really my lucky stars! Take them away!"
As it was getting dark, Ni Gaofei was about to take a rest when Tian You rushed over.
"Master, I have found a clue. Master, can I come in?"
Ni Gaofei frowned, put on a coat, and walked out. When the door opened, he saw Tian You standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.
"Master, I have been looking for clues and have discovered something."
She sighed, her face filled with anger: "Today, I felt that there was something wrong with the butler, so I sent someone to keep an eye on him. Who would have thought that the butler was having an affair with the lady's personal maid..."
She looked behind her and saw the servant coming over with Mingyan and the housekeeper.
Ni Gaofei looked at the two people who were being escorted here.
The two of them were disheveled and their hair was messy...
"Master, servants in this mansion are not allowed to exchange things privately. Moreover, I overheard their conversation and learned that the housekeeper was helping the Madam because of Mingyan and plotting against me!"
Mingyan and the housekeeper lowered their heads with panicked expressions, and both knelt on the ground.
The housekeeper started to defend himself, "Master, I did something shameful with Mingyan, but Master, I would never dare to help Madam frame Concubine Tian because of Mingyan!"
Mingyan also started to defend herself: "Master, although the housekeeper is a little old, he can give Mingyan the life she wants. All of this is just a false accusation!"
The two denied it, and Tian You was a little angry: "You are still quibbling now. I heard it clearly at your window!"
Tian You looked at Ni Gaofei again: "Master, they have an affair. It's normal for the housekeeper to help the lady. All of this is the housekeeper and the lady's conspiracy against me! Master, don't you have any doubts?"
Tian You grabbed Ni Gaofei's sleeve, hoping that he would reconsider the case because of this incident.
Ni Gaofei frowned and looked at the housekeeper and Mingyan: "Any servant in the mansion who dares to give or receive something privately will be punished according to the family law and will be drowned in a pond. Do you know?"
