The group of people looked at each other in confusion, with some annoyance on their faces. They didn't expect Cuiwei to leave Tingxiaoyuan so quickly.
They originally thought that Cuiwei would serve by Su Qian's side, so they dared to gather together to discuss. Now they were caught by Su Qian's personal maid, and their faces looked unhappy.
"I'm asking you! Why, you dared to speak ill of the goddess behind her back, but now you don't dare to say anything?"
A woman in yellow muttered, "We were telling the truth. When His Highness left Tingxiao Courtyard, his face was very grim. Perhaps... it was the goddess who angered His Highness, and that's why he was angry."
With one person taking the lead, the others quickly chimed in, saying, "Yes, and besides, the war really only started after the goddess arrived."
"Didn't they say that after the goddess was shot dead by General Lu Huan, she turned to ashes? Not even a corpse was left behind."
"She can't really be a demon, right? If we live in the same house with a demon, what if she wants to eat human flesh and blood one day?"
The more they talked, the more outrageous it became. Cuiwei was furious and pointed at them, saying, "You...you! You are making false accusations!"
"Open your mouth, do you have any evidence?"
The yellow-clothed woman who spoke first looked at her with disdain and said, "Evidence? Isn't General Lu Huan, who came earlier, a witness? These rumors all came from him."
Cuiwei looked at her carefully and found that she was the maid who led Su Qian to the banquet hosted by the judge that day.
At that time, she felt that the woman had been taking a detour. It happened that she had just arrived at Tongpan Prefecture at that time and was not familiar with the place.
Even though she had some doubts at the time, she couldn't say anything without evidence.
Now it seems that there is indeed something wrong with her!
I just don't know whether she is the maid of the magistrate's wife or the maid of the two young ladies.
There were so many people and so much gossip, Cuiwei knew that she couldn't argue with them, let alone beat them, but fortunately, her daughter still had someone to back her up!
She immediately turned around and walked out of the room, heading towards the front yard where Yan Xuanye was.
She only had one mouth, but they were talking at the same time. Since she couldn't win the argument with them, she went to find the prince to deal with the matter.
When the maids saw that she was heading towards the front yard, they were a little flustered.
Seeing this, the woman in yellow immediately said, "Quick! Stop her! Don't let her go to the front yard!"
Then everyone rushed out of the door to catch her. Cuiwei saw them chasing her and ran away in a panic, but she could not defeat them because of their large numbers and was dragged back into the room.
A group of people led by the woman in yellow surrounded her and imprisoned her in a human-shaped cage they had built.
"I'm warning you, this is the Tongpan Mansion. Don't bring up the fact that you were once the prefect's maid. Now that your mistress is ill and no longer favored by His Highness, I think she'll be kicked out sooner or later. And you, if you still want a place to go in the future, you better behave yourself, otherwise..."
The woman in yellow pointed her finger at Cuiwei's nose and said harshly, "I'll make sure your life in this Tongpan Mansion is a living hell!"
The woman next to her was even more cunning. "Chun Tao, what's there to say to her? She wasn't a maid in this Tongpan Mansion to begin with. Just tie her up and call the matchmaker tomorrow morning to sell her off."
"Anyway, there's a sickly girl in that room who can't get out of bed, and His Highness is mad at her. Who's going to care about the life or death of this little maidservant?"
Chun Tao seemed very satisfied with her method. "Lian Xin's method is still the best. Let's do this. Tie her up first. Call Mrs. Zhang tomorrow morning and sell her off."
The other two maids immediately went to look for the rope to tie her up, while Chuntao and Lianxin held Cuiwei's hands to prevent her from moving.
"Let me go! My daughter freed me from slavery a long time ago. I am now a good citizen. How dare you sell me out? Not only the government, but even my daughter won't let you go!"
Su Qian has always wanted to remove Cuiwei from slavery, but unfortunately, Zhiyi City is no longer under the jurisdiction of Nanchang State. Even if she does it, it will not be of much use because Nanchang State will not recognize her as a good citizen.
Another thing is that Cuiwei is now with Su Qian by Yan Xuanye's side, so it doesn't matter whether she does it or not. After all, Cuiwei is Su Qian's personal maid, and her position is there, so no one dares to offend her.
As long as Su Qian said that she was not a slave, then she was not. After all, everyone in Fengyuan Kingdom obeyed Yan Xuanye, and Yan Xuanye was very considerate to Su Qian.
Although Cuiwei's slave status had never been removed, Su Qian did not treat her as a slave, which was why Su Qian let her call herself by her own name.
Cuiwei said this to warn them. After all, according to the laws of Nanchang State, no one is allowed to sell innocent people privately, otherwise they will be sent to prison.
The two people who brought the rope were a little afraid to touch her after hearing what she said. "Why not just forget it? What if what she said is true?"
Chuntao pressed Cuiwei's arm and urged them loudly, "What are you afraid of? Our Zhiyi City is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Nanchang Kingdom. Are you afraid of the laws of the Nanchang Kingdom?"
"But...what if that witch seeks revenge for her? I see Lu Feng is still stationed in her courtyard with those female guards. I think His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan hasn't abandoned her yet. Otherwise...it won't be too late to take action after that witch is completely despised."
Chun Tao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She ordered Lian Xin to hold Cui Wei down, then walked up to the maid who had spoken and fiercely snatched the rope from her hand. "You useless thing, you are as cowardly as a mouse, and you will never accomplish anything."
Seeing Chuntao go to get the rope, Cuiwei kicked Lianxin in the abdomen with all her strength, kicking her far away, and Lianxin hit the table frame directly.
Taking advantage of the moment when no one reacted, Cuiwei immediately opened the door and ran out...
Lianxin clutched her abdomen, gasping for breath in pain, "Chuntao! Quickly... catch... this bitch!"
Seeing this, Chuntao took the other two and chased Cuiwei. Because it was night and there were people chasing her, Cuiwei ran a little faster and stepped on a bluestone and fell down.
Chun Tao saw that she had fallen and was too lazy to chase her. She slowly walked over and squatted in front of her, patting her cheek with her right hand, "Run, run again..."
"Let's take her back and leave her to Lianxin to deal with. Lianxin must hate her to death, so there's no need for us to take action."
Chun Tao said to the other two, "This way you won't be afraid anymore, right?"
The other two smiled and said, "Sister Chuntao is absolutely right."
Cuiwei used up all her strength in that kick. Although Lianxin can sit up now, she still can't walk.
She massaged her abdomen again and again, cursing all the time.
"You little bitch, you bitch, I'll make you pay when I catch you."
Chun Tao and the other two pushed Cui Wei back and threw her to the ground. "Lian Xin, we've captured this bitch for you. What are you going to do?"
