Chapter 346 Did he do something wrong back then?
"This job is good, it really broadens my horizons! You don't understand, by the way, where's Dad?"
He'd been back for quite a while, so why hadn't his father come out to question him? There was nothing new going on in the village. In the past, whenever he came back from a trip to the city, his father would surround him and interrogate him. So why hadn't he come out today?
"Oh, Dad and the village team went to Chenzhou to deliver goods. It will take more than ten days for them to come back."
Feng Meng: ...The sky is falling!
Damn officials, he doesn’t want to see them at all!
What's the point of talking? It won't make you grow any more flesh.
Give him back the chance to go to Chenzhou. He missed out on more than ten days away from home~ Woo woo woo~
At night, in the Jincheng mansion.
Rows of candles lit up the room as bright as day. Song Shu sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, and his expression could not be seen in the flickering candlelight.
Nanny Lai and Liu Sheng, who were kneeling on the ground, were trembling all over and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Qiu Yi, who came from behind, saw this and bit her lower lip. She walked forward and hugged Lai Ma Ma directly, asking in confusion, "Ma Ma, what are you kneeling for?
You came all the way here to find the young lady. Even if you haven't done anything great, you've worked hard. It's not your fault that she doesn't want to go back with you. How can you be blamed?"
Nanny Lai was stunned, her mind racing.
Song Shu, who was sitting in the main seat above, slammed his teacup down and said coldly, "She's already admitted it. You asked her to come here, and you don't care whether Ah Bing lives or dies!"
Qiu Yi turned to face Song Shu, blinked, and tears fell like beads from a broken string. She said aggrievedly: "Master, she is the nanny who serves me personally, of course I asked her to come here;
But I also felt sorry for you, Master, because you missed your daughter so much that I asked her to come here. What do you mean by life or death? I clearly said that once we found the young lady, we must bring her back safely!"
Her eyes fell on Liu Sheng beside her and she said hatefully, "It must be this group of villains. They know we are a wealthy family and that we value Ah Bing, so they have evil intentions!
They must want to capture Ah Bing and extort money from us. They will only tell the truth under severe torture!
Master, for the sake of my innocence, please torture him severely."
Liu Sheng: .....Why torture me for your own innocence?
Lai Ma Ma kowtowed, her nose bubbling with tears, and wailed, "Master, Auntie is right. I clearly ordered you to bring the young lady back safely, but somehow these evil people turned it into a matter of life and death!
They must have wanted to take advantage of the young lady, but when that didn't work out, they took advantage of the old slave. Master, look at how they tortured the old slave.
This old servant is worried about the safety of my aunt and does not want her to be in danger. I think that you, my lord, are resourceful and powerful, and only you can suppress them!
Master, you really didn't disappoint me, but please don't let these evil people blind your eyes. And my aunt is devoted to you, so don't wrongly accuse her and let her down.
Qiu Yi was originally just crying silently, but as soon as Nanny Lai finished speaking, she burst into tears. She shrugged her shoulders and choked with sobs, "Nanny, don't say anymore. For the sake of the master, what does it matter if I suffer a little?
Originally, I learned about the whereabouts of the eldest lady by accident. I was afraid of being disappointed, so I thought of you coming in person to bring the eldest lady back as a surprise for the master. However, I never expected that poor and remote areas would produce unruly people. Our good intentions were trampled upon by these evil people!
Master, I have no other request but to severely punish these evildoers and give justice to the young lady and me~"
Liu Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked and stared at the master and servant talking back and forth in unison!
No, this means that there is nothing wrong between them, and it was all his own will and greed. Doesn't it mean that he took the silver and wanted to kidnap Huo Bing to get more silver?
Now they are even turning around and saying that they were behind it?
God, he really understands Dou E's feelings now!
"Master, I feel wronged! I just did it for money. If you don't believe me, you can ask others!"
"You are the one who hired those people, so naturally they will do whatever you say. If you let them kidnap the eldest lady right away, won't they think it was the nanny's idea?" Qiu Yi said first.
Nanny Lai immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right, he picked all the people, and they are not good people! No wonder I was wondering why he picked so many people to bring back to the young lady. It turns out he has bad intentions. Fortunately, the young lady didn't let them succeed in the village!
It's just a pity for me, an old slave, to be captured by them and asked to pay the ransom money."
Things have come to this point, and what happened that night must never be told. Anyway, it was all done by these evil people.
Liu Sheng said angrily, "You, you are talking nonsense! It was all your orders."
Only now did he realize that after what they said, he had no way to prove that he was following orders.
He could only swear to the heavens: "Master, I swear that if I tell a lie, I will die childless!"
Qiu Yi hurriedly said, "Master, I can swear as well! If I ordered it, I will die without a son!"
At her age, the doctors have said there's little hope. Besides, it's enough to be comfortable while alive. Why would it matter if someone is there to see her off after death? We can't bring her back to life!
After saying that, she quickly winked at Nanny Lai.
This time, Nanny Lai cried sincerely.
Liu Sheng was not lying. Aunt Qiu was childless, but she was different. She really had a son!
She made up her mind, closed her eyes, and swore the same oath.
Liu Sheng: ...Are they so cruel to themselves, no, to their sons?
Even the most powerful oaths and curses are useless, so how else can he prove it?
He knelt on the ground in dejection, witnessing the methods used in the harem for the first time.
Zhenzhen tells lies with open eyes and does not change his expression, and confuses right and wrong without feeling guilty at all...
Song Shu glanced at the three of them and waved to the side, "Take them away. We'll talk about it when we see Ah Bing tomorrow."
A servant immediately came forward, picked up the two people on the ground and took them away.
Qiu Yi's eyes were filled with tears, but they were about to fall. Her lips trembled slightly, and she felt extremely aggrieved. "Master, I have been with you for more than 20 years. Don't you know how I feel about you? Of course, your children are my children."
Song Shu's brows furrowed slightly, and for the first time, he felt hesitant.
Only the mistress of the house is worthy of being the mother of all children, because they come from noble families and have learned and seen since childhood how to manage the household business and raise children. It has never been heard that a concubine treats the mistress's children as her own.
Qiuyi is very beautiful, with a good figure, gentle and considerate, and she is very good at serving him.
But can she really treat his children as her own?
No wonder his colleagues doted on their concubines, but the money, children's upbringing, and interpersonal relationships were all managed by the mistress of the house.
Did he do something wrong back then?
Huo Qinglin took the position of the mistress of the harem, asking her to take care of the harem and raise his children. He and Qiu Yi were having a happy affair, so he should not let her find out.
