Originally, she wanted to say she didn't know like Yun Xing, but she was so nervous that her words stuttered a little.
"Slave, slave, no, I don't know."
"Everyone knew there was something wrong, especially since he was trembling slightly."
"If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude."
"When I find out who did it, I'll make her suffer for the rest of her life. If she confesses, I'll consider whether to give her a lenient sentence."
At this time, the little maid was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. It was her first time doing such a thing, and Xie Minghui said it was a laxative.
In addition, she agreed after being coerced and bribed by Xie Minghui. She didn't want to be trapped in a state of being unable to live or die, otherwise her life would be over.
"My Lord, I'm telling you, it was Miss Xie Minghui who asked me to do this. She coerced me into giving her a laxative. Please, my Lord, spare my life."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Xie Minghui. Xie Minghui was also frightened and her face turned pale, and she shouted loudly.
"You're talking nonsense."
"How do you prove that it was Xie Minghui who did it?"
The Duke used to call her Hui girl, but now he almost doesn't want to call her that anymore.
"My Lord, I have evidence. The silver and jewelry that the young lady gave me are still in my wooden box. I haven't taken it home yet."
Go to search
"yes"
As soon as the Duke finished speaking, the butler agreed and took two maids with him.
After a while, she came back with a wooden box and handed it to the maid for her to see.
"Look carefully to see if this is yours"
The little maid looked up and saw that it was hers.
"It belongs to the slaves"
The butler opened the wooden box and saw Xie Minghui's jewelry inside. The butler had also seen Xie Minghui wearing these two pieces of jewelry.
In fact, Xie Minghui wanted to give all the money, but her life has been difficult since she was discovered after harming Xie Yun last time.
The money was not much, and her share was usually deducted by the third wife, sometimes she had nothing at all.
The master of the third house didn't dare to intervene in order to get close to the Duke's Mansion, so this time she had nothing to give. She could only give two of her own jewelry and ten taels of silver.
After the matter was investigated, the Duke directly handed Xie Minghui over to the government on the charge of plotting to murder the royal heir.
This is a serious crime, but it is also a fact. Although there is no royal heir yet, who can guarantee whether there is one in the belly now?
"The third room should all go back and pack up today. We must move out of the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and live our own lives from now on."
"Brother, we are wronged. We don't know anything about this matter."
When the master of the third house heard that they were asked to move out, he immediately became anxious and knelt down to the Duke.
"I'm already leaning towards you by not charging you with a joint offense. If you don't move out, then I'll charge you with a joint offense."
The master of the third house didn't dare to say a word. If this was a crime, their family would be finished.
The master of the third house knelt and crawled to the old lady, wanting her to speak for him.
The old lady said to him, "If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. You can't even teach a little girl well, what else can you do? In the future, stop thinking about living a life of luxury and spend more time educating your children."
The master of the third house had no choice but to lead the people from the third house back dejectedly.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the third room, the master of the third room slapped his wife so hard that her mouth bled.
"It's all your fault. How do you manage the backyard?"
The third wife also became anxious.
"Can you blame me for this? You sided with that bitch when she was here. Did you let me take care of her child? Now that something's wrong, you blame me. Go find whoever raised that bitch."
"You are the legitimate mother, who else should I look for if not you?"
As he said that, he started fighting again. The third wife was not someone to be trifled with, so she fought back immediately. The two of them started fighting, and the servants were so scared that they shrank their necks and didn't dare to try to stop them.
After fighting for a while, both of them were tired and injured, but they still had to pack up their things.
Given the Duke's temper, if he asked them to move out tomorrow and they didn't, he would throw them out, which would be even more embarrassing.
Xie Yun saw what the Duke did but didn't say anything. As for Xie Minghui, based on her understanding of Qin Minghao, Qin Minghao would definitely make Xie Minghui suffer a miserable fate. It was her fault for touching Qin Minghao's reverse scale.
The Duke felt sorry for Xie Yun. After all, his daughter's return home had caused such a trouble. So he ordered the housekeeper to open the warehouse.
She took out a lot of things and banknotes from the public account to calm Xie Yun down, and the Duke's wife didn't feel any pain even when her palms were pierced by her nails.
Her heart was bleeding because those were her son's things.
But she didn't dare to speak. After all, she was the one who organized today's event, and she would bear a great responsibility if anything went wrong.
But that was not all. The Duke took out a lot of good things from his private treasury and gave Xie Yun a silver note worth 50,000 taels.
Xie Yun's dowry alone and the things and banknotes taken this time have taken away more than half of the Duke's private treasury.
Xie Yun also felt that it was a bit too much, but she was stopped by the Duke just as she was about to speak.
"Girl Yun, just take it if I give it to you. Your parents are sorry for you and almost let you get hurt by that villain. Even if I give you everything, it won't be much. Just take this little thing and play with it for now.
If you want something in the future, just tell your father and he will buy it for you."
