ng her to quickly play the role of the pitiful...Ke'er's appearance was pitiful enough, so she only needed a look to evoke sympathy. So... Ke'er looked at Rui Tianyu with pleading eyes."Why did you ha...Minister Murong turned his head to look at her...
Her face stiffened, then she smiled gently...
“I said how come I couldn't find my jade bracelet lately, it turned out to be on your hand. This is really finding a needle in a haystack, effortless!” Murong Yue stared fixedly at the maid’s face, signaling her not to speak out of turn.
"Oh, how amusing! This jade bracelet has sprouted legs and eyes, hasn't it It simply wandered into the hands of this lowly maidservant. And now she brazenly accuses me of owning that token... This is a curious coincidence indeed... I wonder if someone deliberately orchestrated this..." Murong Rou spoke with veiled sarcasm, her eyes glittering with triumph.
Murong Yue chuckled softly: "Hee hee, that's really a coincidence, isn't it, Third Sister"
Murong Rou was asked this way and didn't know how to answer, so she simply remained silent...
I won't speak, so I won't fall into your trap. Let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve, hmph!
Murong Yue walked before Murong Rou, looking down at her condescendingly...
This cat-and-mouse game is always most interesting when the mouse thinks it can escape, or even turn the tables on the cat...
Murong Yue pulled out a silk scarf to cover her mouth, giggling...
Murong Rou frowned, "You, you laugh at what What's so funny! Hmph, I say elder sister, this maid isn't yours, is she You actually let someone frame me! How can your heart be so cruel! I am your third younger sister! Blood thicker than water! You treat me like this... Father... You must do justice for Rou'er..." Murong Rou crawled to Murong Xiang's side and pulled his sleeve, "Father... This token has nothing to do with your daughter. Nothing at all..."
Minister Murong looked at Murong Rou, saying nothing and offering no help...
Murong Yue revealed a satisfied smile...
Sister Three, you act so well. How could elder sister waste your talent
Murong Yue raised an eyebrow at the maid and nodded slightly.
"Miss, Miss, please don't slander Young Mistress like this... She treats you so well... This servant, this servant may be just a maidservant, but I still have a conscience. I don't want to help the wicked! This jade bracelet was clearly stolen from Young Mistress's room by Third Miss, and she also stole her other jewelry. Lord Chancellor, if you don't believe me, you can search Third Miss's room…" The maidservant started shouting loudly upon receiving Murong Yue's signal.
"What" Murong Rou stiffened, looking at the maidservant in disbelief. Just now, when she was grabbing her hand, she had already threatened her life. How dare she…
The maidservant dodged her eyes, not daring to look directly at Murong Rou...
Third Miss, I'm so sorry. It's not that I want to do this, but ever since the eldest lady picked me, my entire family's life has been in her hands. I had no choice. Third Miss, I also want to live, but I even more want my whole family to live...Third Miss, you are after all the Prime Minister's own daughter. The Prime Minister certainly won't treat you badly...
Murong Rou rushed over, wishing she could tear the maid's mouth apart: "You better tell me the truth, or I'll drag you out and feed you to the dogs!"
“Slave, slave, slave... I dare not! What this servant just said is not true, it's not true! Miss Third, please spare my life, please spare my life! This servant will never speak recklessly again, please, Miss Third, don't kill me, I won't dare again..." As she spoke, the servant’s whole body began to tremble...
As soon as the maidservant spoke, Murong Rou's face became even more discolored....
Such words, such expressions, such actions all point to Murong Rou...
"Sister, please stop threatening your maidservant. You see, even though she's a maidservant, she was also born and raised by her parents. Even though she came to our Prime Minister's residence as a maidservant, she still has parents, and her entire family depends on her. Third sister, how could you be so heartless To bring this whole family to ruin Father... You say isn't this maidservant a little too pitiful..." Murong Yue wept softly for the maidservant...
This maid heard Murong Yue say that the whole family, her entire body stiffened. She lowered her head, her face ashen...
Murong Rou narrowed her eyes, looking at Murong Yue's hypocritical appearance, she wished she could rush up and slap her twice...
The Third Madam grabbed her, shook her head and said, "It seems the eldest daughter of our esteemed Prime Minister Murong is truly remarkable. Even a lowly maid like her understands…"
Murong Yue stopped her crying: "Third Aunt, I respect you as an elder, and have always pleaded for Third Sister. I don't understand what you mean by this..."
"Miss, you don't understand Hee hee, that's strange. How do you know so much about a maid's background, yet you can't understand what I, Sanniang, am saying"
"San Niang, what you're saying is too far-fetched. It's well known that I, Murong Yue, show compassion to the common people. What's strange about knowing the background of a maidservant Besides, my mother handles the trivial affairs of the Murong family, so Yue'er would naturally know some things and learn from her. This is only natural. San Niang, please forgive Yue'er for being rude. I truly don't understand what you mean, San Niang. Please enlighten me."
"Murong Yue, I ask you, how did you know that this maid's entire family relies on her alone The Prime Minister's Mansion always investigates thoroughly when buying maidservants, but the records only list the maid's name and address. Unless there are special circumstances, they wouldn't put a maid's background in the record. Even if you helped the mistress with housework, with your current status, it would be impossible to know this maid's background. Did you secretly investigate her Or is it that you already knew her before today Every word she said today has flaws, and you keep defending her. Could it be that everything she did today was at your instigation" The Third Madam pressed Murong Yue back step by step as she spoke...
Muran Yue's face was a little unsightly...
She… she hadn’t expected Third Madam to be so shrewd. It seemed that her disguise in everyday life was too good, even fooling her. Now, now, what should she do!
Murong Yue's palms were sweating nervously. She could already feel the suspicion in the Chancellor's gaze...
What should she do! this is bad... Damn it, why is this woman still alive! How is she still on the Fifth Prince's carriage! How can she be on the carriage of the god-like Fifth Prince! No, I must find a way to get rid o...
