"No, no, Sixth Miss! I know I was wrong, sob sob sob, please don't take me to Madam's courtyard! If Miss finds out I failed, she'll definitely beat me to death, sob sob sob~~"
Tao Xiang cried with tears streaming down her face. As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a series of bruises and welts underneath.
"What? Your young lady actually hit you like that?" Zi Mu gasped, his body trembling as if he were the one who had been hit, not Tao Xiang.
Zisu was also terrified and speechless with shock.
The two maids breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, their young mistress was the sixth young lady; otherwise, they might have been the ones getting beaten.
The thought that their young mistress would soon be leaving the manor filled the two of them with worry.
What if they were sent to Miss Wan'er's courtyard?
Su Wanwan had no idea what the two were thinking. She felt some sympathy for Tao Xiang being beaten, but...
This is no reason for Taoxiang to frame her!
If she hadn't transmigrated, the original owner would have been framed by Jiang Wan'er.
In ancient times, a woman's reputation was of utmost importance, especially for the original owner of this body, who was once a favored daughter of heaven.
If Jiang Wan'er searches the original owner's body in front of everyone, and rumors spread outside the mansion, how will the original owner survive?
Could it be that Tao Xiang doesn't know how important a woman's reputation is?
No! She knows!
However, she still chose to obey Jiang Wan'er's words and sacrifice the original owner's reputation to avoid Jiang Wan'er's punishment.
Those who commit such acts are truly pathetic and lamentable!
Su Wanwan's gaze sharpened, a cold smile playing on her lips. "I sympathize with you because your master hit you. But you're afraid of being punished, so you steal things and conspire with your master to frame me. Is my life worthless, and only yours is?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two maids, Zisu and Zimu, felt that it made a lot of sense and immediately put away their sympathy.
"That's right, you are innocent, you were forced into it, but my young lady's life is also a life! Tao Xiang, don't you know that a woman's reputation is very important? Yet you conspired with your master to make my young lady lose all face and reputation. How vicious you are!" Zi Su glared angrily at Tao Xiang.
"Zisu, stop wasting your breath on her. Let's do as Miss says and take Taoxiang to Madam's courtyard so she can judge for us. Besides, Taoxiang keeps saying she didn't steal the things, so how did those jewelry disappear? Could it be that my Miss is crying wolf and deliberately framing you?" Zimu put her hands on her hips, spitting everywhere, and pointed at Taoxiang's nose, cursing fiercely.
Su Wanwan felt a little guilty and touched the tip of her nose with her right index finger. "Let's go to Mother's yard."
So, Su Wanwan, accompanied by several maids and with Tao Xiang in tow, went to Linqing Courtyard.
It was only the fifth watch of the night. Everyone in the mansion was still fast asleep.
The gates of Linqing Courtyard were also tightly shut. But Su Wanwan didn't care. Since she couldn't sleep and people were bothering her, she was going to bother others in return!
"Zisu, go knock on the door."
Following Su Wanwan's instructions, Zisu knocked hard on the door.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A series of dull knocks sounded, particularly clear in the quiet night, impossible to ignore.
Soon, the lights were turned on in Hu's room.
Not long after, the gate to the courtyard was opened.
The maidservant glanced at Su Wanwan, then at Taoxiang, her eyes filled with disdain and annoyance. Her tone was harsh, "May I ask, Sixth Miss, what brings you to disturb our peaceful sleep in the middle of the night?"
