Chapter 585 It is impossible to reveal it easily
Xia Ning pushed the maid who had just been brought back from the mountains to Song Yuntang, raised her hands to press her shoulders, and forced her to kneel down.
"Tell me what you were looking at in the woods just now."
The maid who had just been fished out of the water was worrying about how to find the person who had given her the silver. Now she saw that person kneeling beside her and hurriedly pointed her out.
"That's her!"
She kowtowed to Song Yuntang again.
"My Lady, it was this bitch who gave me ten taels of silver and asked me to push the young master into the water. She also told me to go back to her and get the ten taels of silver after the deed was done."
"Originally, I was reluctant to do this, but my mother was seriously ill and needed money for treatment. I was tempted and agreed to do it."
The commotion here attracted people who were coming for an outing today.
Song Yuntang looked at the two of them doubtfully.
"So you don't know him?"
The maid waved her hands quickly.
"I really don't know him."
The maid next to her looked at her with disdain, then turned to look at Song Yuntang, as calmly as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
"Princess Le'an, please don't believe her one-sided words. I don't know this slave at all, and I have never given her any money. She is completely slandering me."
"I don't have it!" she said, reaching into her bosom, "The silver is still here with me..."
Before she finished speaking, she fumbled around the place where she had put the silver and looked around the lake.
"Where is my silver? Where did my silver go?"
Seeing this, the maidservant beside her sneered.
"Didn't you say you had the silver with you? Did it fall? Did it fall into the lake?"
"In the lake." She hurriedly got up and ran to the lake. "Yes, I must have fallen into the lake just now."
Song Yuntang winked at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning understood what she meant and took a step forward to stop her.
The maid was about to cry.
He turned around and knelt down towards Song Yuntang again.
"My Lady, the ten taels of silver must still be in the lake. Please ask this servant to look for it."
Song Yuntang ignored her and looked at the maid who was pretending to be calm.
"Do you know this princess?"
The maid's eyes dodged for a moment.
"The princess is a well-known figure in the capital, so I naturally recognize her."
Song Yuntang remained calm.
"You know this princess, but this princess doesn't know you. Which mansion are you from? What's your name?"
The maidservant stood up straight, looking like someone who had nothing to fear but her white knuckles from clutching the handkerchief betrayed her inner feelings.
And her every move and every detail was seen by Song Yuntang.
"In reply to the princess, my name is Baoji, and I am a maid in the Yangdu Marquis's mansion."
She had nothing to be afraid of.
No matter what happens to the Princess of Le'an
"Marquis Yangdu." Song Yuntang murmured, looking at the woman Xia Ning was stopping, "Are you sure Miss Baoji gave you ten taels of silver?"
The maid swore solemnly.
"I am sure! If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning!"
Baoji immediately said angrily, "Don't slander me here!"
Song Yuntang ignored the angry Baoji and continued to ask, "Since you don't know Baoji, you are probably not from the Yangdu Marquis's mansion. Which mansion are you a maid in?"
Perhaps because her clothes were soaked, the mountain breeze felt a little cold on her body, and the maid couldn't help shivering.
She managed to say, "I am Cuihuan, the maidservant of the second young lady of the Fu family. Originally, the young lady had two big maidservants by her side. Recently, sister Bizhu went out of the house to get married. Today is the first time for me to go out of the house with the young lady, but I didn't expect to cause such a disaster."
Song Yuntang understood.
The second young lady of the Fu family is a concubine of the Fu family, named Fu Yunqi. When the Queen Mother held a flower-viewing banquet, she wrote a poem at the banquet and the Queen Mother also rewarded her with two gold leaves.
There are two sentences that she still remembers today.
The perfect combination of light and dark colors is stunning, and the breeze brings out the heavenly fragrance.
At that time, this poem was appreciated by talented scholars in Beijing. Although it was not as good as the works of the masters, the fact that a woman could write this poem was quite artistic.
It can be seen that Miss Fu Er is also a person with great knowledge of poetry and books.
Breguet sneered.
"Perhaps your young lady is jealous of Princess Le'an because she stole the spotlight from the Queen's flower-viewing banquet with a painting of peonies, and she is instigating you to push Young Master Xu into this?"
When Cuihuan heard that Baoji had framed her master, she was furious.
"You're talking nonsense. It was obviously you who ordered it!"
"Shut up!"
Song Yuntang stopped the two of them and turned to instruct Xia Ning.
"Find two people who can swim and look for the place where Cuihuan fell into the water to see if they can find the ten taels of silver."
It's okay if there is a mark.
If there is no mark and it has been soaked in water, it will be impossible to identify it by smell.
But there are other solutions.
Cuihuan looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. The maids in wealthy families only received higher monthly wages. Ordinary maids, especially those who were not very old, did not earn much per month. In addition, Cuihuan had a seriously ill mother at home, so it was not easy for her to save ten taels of silver.
This situation is not complicated to investigate.
Besides, she had a lot of good things in her hands and many ways to make them tell the truth.
Xia Ning nodded and pointed at the two people on the ground.
"What about them?"
Song Yuntang remained calm.
"Wencheng and I are watching you. You can't run away."
Xia Ning nodded and hurried to find someone.
Baoji of Yangdu Marquis's Mansion was a little flustered. She frowned and looked at Song Yuntang and said, "I am a maid of Yangdu Marquis' Mansion. I have to go back to serve my master. The princess cannot hold me hostage."
Although Princess Le'an and Lord Xu are valued by His Majesty, they are still inferior to the marquis's mansion that has been hovering in the capital for many years.
She was a maid in the Marquisate of Yangdu and represented the reputation of the Marquisate of Yangdu. Even if she did something wrong, it would be the Marquisate of Yangdu's business to punish her. It was not the turn of an outsider to punish her.
If she is dealt with by force, it would be a direct slap in the face of the Yangdu Marquisate.
By then, the prince and the old marquis will not let it go and will definitely go before His Majesty to seek justice for her.
Song Yuntang glanced at her.
"Why are you in such a hurry? If Miss Baoji is really innocent, this princess will personally send you to your master and apologize to him. But if you are not innocent, this princess will also personally go to the old marquis of Yangdu Marquis' Mansion to seek justice."
Now that people have extended their hands to my son, today's incident cannot be easily covered up.
We must not give the person behind the scenes another chance to strike again.
She had to get to the bottom of the matter, and after making a big fuss, she would expose the person behind it and make her receive the punishment she deserved.
As for Breguet, she was just a maid in a marquis's mansion.
If she doesn't obey and is punished, she will go and apologize to the old marquis. I don't think the old marquis will bother with her for a mere maid.
But in fact, she already had a guess in her heart about who was instructing Breguet.
