After being summoned, Liu'er felt a little uneasy. She was playing with a beautifully crafted hairpin in her small room when she heard a knock on the door, and immediately hid the hairpin under the pillow. Then he straightened his clothes and went to open the door.
The person who came was the most useful Madam Hua by the original owner's side. She had a serious face and was usually unsmiling. Those little maids were most afraid of her.
Nanny Hua passed through Liu'er who was blocking the door, glanced casually at the furnishings in the room, and then said to Liu'er: "Princess summons, remember to be vigilant later, don't think that the things you did Nobody knows."
Liu'er's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help clenching her handkerchief tightly, not daring to show the slightest strangeness, so she could only follow Nanny Hua respectfully away.
Su Li was sitting at the top of the main hall, eating a plate of bird's nest cakes that were still hot just out of the oven, and only put down the half-eaten cakes when she saw Madam Hua bringing someone with her.
Jin'er helped her clean her hands, and she took another sip of almond milk before shifting her gaze to Liu'er who was kneeling below with her head bowed.
"Liu'er, are you convicted?" Her voice was a little careless, but there was a sense of dignity.
"I don't know what mistake I made, please help the princess!" Liu'er kowtowed several times, the sound was so loud that Su Li felt pain when she heard it.
Su Li frowned slightly, this reaction was indeed a bit big. She was suspicious of Liu'er from the beginning, because when she and the guards found her, she saw the flash of surprise in Liu'er's eyes.
What is she astonished about
Ordinary servants would probably only feel relieved after their master disappeared and was found. After all, if something happens to the master, the servants will have a hard time. And Liu'er's behavior was too abnormal, especially when she tried to keep Su Li in the market, which was even more abnormal.
Therefore, Su Li felt that although the heroine Lin Ruxue had planned this incident, Liu Er must have known about it, and she was even one of the promoters.
It has been more than three years since Lin Ruxue was reborn, and it is not impossible for her to bribe the people around the original owner during these years. After all, with the aura of the protagonist, she can easily buy people's hearts. Like Liu Er, there must be more than one around her.
"Guide? Nanny, you can give her some advice." Su Li motioned to Nanny Hua beside her.
Nanny Hua nodded, walked up to Liu'er, raised her face and slapped her, "His Royal Highness treats people generously, but she is not here to support you thieves with dirty hands and feet! Someone told me a few days ago I, you actually hid a lot of money privately. At first, I didn’t take it seriously. Until two days ago, Miss Jin’er discovered that Her Royal Highness was missing a pair of Dongzhu earrings. Those earrings were a gift from Her Highness the Crown Prince on Her Highness’s birthday. , Priceless, you dare to put your mind on this!"
After being slapped, Liu'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately struggled after hearing Madam Hua's words, "Your Highness, this servant did not steal from you, please trust your servant! Your Highness, please trust this servant!"
Su Li looked at Liu'er coldly, "This princess has her own judgment on this matter, just wait."
At this time, there was a notification sound from outside the hall, and the chief steward under Su Li came in with a rosewood box in his hand. Liu'er suddenly stopped talking when she saw him, and just knelt down on the ground dejectedly.
Su Li opened the red sandalwood box, took a look, and said, "Liu'er, what else do you have to say?"
