Su Wanwan buried her head in Zi Mu's arms and pretended to cry.
Hu's temples throbbed with pain from Su Wanwan's crying.
She had just fallen into the water a while ago and hadn't recovered yet. Now she was being woken up again in the middle of the night, and Mrs. Hu was practically going crazy.
"Taoxiang, you tell me!" Hu Shi glared fiercely at Taoxiang, her chest filled with raging anger.
Tao Xiang saw Hu Shi looking at her with a murderous gaze, and she trembled again in fright.
Su Wanwan lifted her head from Zi Mu's embrace and coldly looked at the trembling Tao Xiang, "Tao Xiang, why don't you tell your mother the truth!"
Tao Xiang sensed the strong threat in Su Wanwan's words, bit her lip, and confessed everything Jiang Wan'er had assigned her. "Madam, please forgive me. The jewelry that went missing from Sixth Miss's room has absolutely nothing to do with me. When I arrived, the window in Sixth Miss's room had already been opened."
When I climbed in through the window, I saw that the lock on the black wooden box where the Sixth Miss kept her jewelry had already been pried open. Not only that, the dressing table was a mess, and so was the room.
These things were definitely not done by this servant; they were done by other thieves. Please, Madam, see the truth!
Upon hearing this, Madam Hu's face darkened, and a surge of anger welled up within her. She pursed her lips tightly, gripped her skirt firmly with her hands on her thighs, and used all her strength to suppress her rage.
It's that good daughter of hers again!
Since she returned to the manor, there hasn't been a moment of peace; she's constantly causing trouble!
Just a little more patience, and I can't bear it anymore.
She wanted to frame someone, fine, but why didn't she choose a smarter girl? Why did she have to pick someone as stupid as Tao Xiang!
She's so angry!
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have sent someone to bring her back!
Despite her deep regret, Madam Hu had no choice but to clean up Jiang Wan'er's mess.
If it's not wiped clean, it might even damage your own skin.
Thinking of this, Madam Hu took a deep breath, her expression softening. "Wanwan, I already know about this, and I will definitely teach Wan'er a lesson. You should go back to your courtyard and rest. Tomorrow you will have a long journey to return to your biological parents."
Su Wanwan didn't care about the sarcasm in Hu's words. Her original purpose in coming here was not to have Hu teach Jiang Wan'er a lesson.
Rather, she wanted to let Hu know that she had something on her, so as to threaten Hu into not being too arrogant the next day.
Now, she has suddenly changed her mind again.
Su Wanwan nodded, forcing a smile. "Mother is right. I heard Father plans to give Wanwan only ten taels of silver?"
"Hehehe, yes. Ten taels of silver is enough for an ordinary person to live on for a year. When you return to the village, you probably won't have many places to use the silver." A hint of mockery flashed in Madam Hu's eyes.
"Oh, I don't believe at all that Father only gave Wanwan ten taels of silver. Tomorrow I'll ask Father in person and ask him to judge the matter," Su Wanwan said sadly.
"You!" Hu was speechless with anger.
That little slut is threatening her!
But she just couldn't do anything about that little slut.
If she were to reveal this to her husband, she would definitely be implicated.
Moreover, if her husband were to send Jiang Wan'er to the estate in a fit of anger, or if she were to fall ill and die prematurely, who would help her win favor? Who would help her bear a son?
Madam Hu took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Hehehe, don't worry, Wanwan. Your mother will give you some extra money."
"Dingxiang, go to my box and fetch one hundred taels of silver for the Sixth Miss—"
