Jin Linlin snorted coldly: "We can't just let the matter of there being a traitor in the mansion go like this. We have to find him out and punish him severely." There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in her voice.
Jiang Shiwei nodded quickly and said: "Second sister-in-law is right, we must punish him severely and never tolerate him."
Not long after, Chunxue and Qiuyu brought Luzhu in. As soon as she came in, she fell to her knees, trembling as if she was terrified.
Seeing this, Jin Linlin's eyes widened with anger and she shouted, "Lüzhu, why are you such a traitor? Speak!" Her voice was like thunder, echoing in the room and shocking everyone.
Luzhu lowered her head, not daring to look Jin Linlin in the eye, and replied in a trembling voice: "Slave...slave doesn't know..."
Jiang Shiwei turned to look at Luzhu, and suddenly remembered something. He said to Jin Linlin, "Second sister-in-law, I remember the people down there found out which village her parents were from."
When Luzhu heard this, her face turned pale instantly, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. With a thud, she kowtowed to Jin Linlin and Jiang Shiwei, crying and shouting:
"Second Madam, Second Miss, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again!"
"Second Madam, Second Miss, please spare me. I'm from Duke Mu's Mansion. The people over there are threatening me with my parents. I really can't do anything about it!"
Jin Linlin frowned, her eyes filled with disgust. "Hmph, so you were a member of Duke Mu's Mansion from the beginning?"
"Yes, the Duke's wife asked me to observe you at all times and report anything that happens to her."
After saying this, Luzhu fell limply to the ground, crying uncontrollably.
Jin Linlin and Jiang Shiwei looked at each other. They never expected that the traitor was actually behind the Duke Mu's Mansion!
Jin Linlin's expression instantly darkened. She snorted coldly, her voice filled with anger and dissatisfaction. "How dare the Duke Mu's Mansion be so bold as to reach out to our Zhenguo Mansion!"
Jiang Shiwei's brows furrowed tightly. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"Second sister-in-law, although Duke Mu has fallen, his influence may not be completely eliminated. Since Lu Zhu belongs to Duke Mu's mansion, we must not let her live."
Jin Linlin nodded in agreement. She swept a cold gaze over Luzhu and said sternly, "Chunxue, Qiuyu, drag this slave away and punish her according to the rules of the mansion!"
When Luzhu heard Jin Linlin's words, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and she kowtowed desperately for mercy, muttering, "Madam, spare me, Madam, spare me!"
However, Chunxue and Qiuyu were not moved at all. They coldly dragged Luzhu up from the ground and pulled her out without mercy.
Seeing Luzhu being dragged away, Jin Linlin's mood did not ease much. She frowned and said thoughtfully:
"Second sister, this time, Butler Liu has found four servants who betrayed their master. You should deal with them. As for Butler Liu, although he was not directly involved, he is also responsible for poor supervision. Although he cannot be dismissed, he must be taught a lesson so that he knows his responsibilities."
Jiang Shiwei quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away." After that, she turned around and left quickly, ready to deal with the servants who betrayed their master and Butler Liu.
