Qing He came quickly. She knelt down as soon as she entered the room and cried loudly: "Madam, Second Madam, I didn't do anything. I..."
"Have you been to my place just now?" Qu Moying glanced at her coldly, interrupted Qinghe's crying, and asked straight to the point.
"Fourth Miss, this servant..."
"Just answer yes or no!" Qu Moying's face was cold.
Yu wanted to speak, but saw the lady's cold gaze sweeping over her. She immediately lowered her head and dared not interrupt anymore. She was filled with resentment.
"Your servant..." Qing He wanted to explain.
"Slap him!" the lady said angrily.
A middle-aged woman came up and slapped Qinghe hard on the face, causing her head to tilt and her face to swell immediately.
"Did you come to my place just now and give me a box of cakes, saying that it was sent to me by my third sister?" Qu Moying asked again in a deep voice.
She had already gone to bed at this time, but because Qinghe came to see her, she thought something important had happened, so she got up to see Qinghe.
"Yes... yes." Qing He no longer dared to argue, and her voice trembled.
She was fearless when she came here originally, but now seeing Qu Moying approaching calmly step by step, she couldn't help but become afraid.
When did the fourth young lady become so powerful
"After you came, you accidentally knocked over the pastries and said they were inedible, so you sent Yuchun to the kitchen to get another plate, right?" Qu Moying asked again.
"Yes, it is!"
"After that, you deliberately helped me into the inner room and let me rest. But when you walked outside, you knocked over the oil lamp, set the outer room on fire, and then left!"
Qu Moying continued to ask with a firm tone.
Yu's face changed drastically, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly into a ball. She had a bad feeling in her heart, but because the lady was here, she didn't dare to say a word to remind Qinghe.
"Miss Fourth... No, I left early. I was fine when I left.
I didn't knock over the oil lamp. I really didn't know that the fire started here, Miss Four..." Qing He didn't dare to respond. She cried out loudly, "Even if Miss Four wants to kill me today, I won't say a word, but you can't pour all the dirty water on me!"
"Do you think that since you tricked the gatekeeper away so early, no one would know about this?" Qu Moying sneered, "It was only evening when you came here, and it was not time to light the lamps yet. Where did the smell of the oil lamp come from? Not only on your hands, but also on your clothes. There are a few oil stains on your cuffs. Didn't you notice? Another thing, the lamp oil at Third Sister's place is different from the lamp oil here. You don't have to say that you lit the lamp for Third Sister before you came here!"
Qu Moying sneered, destroying Qinghe's self-righteousness with every word.
They are both masters, but the lamp oil she uses is the one used by the servants in the mansion. The lamp oil used by the third lady Qu Qiuyan is the lamp oil used by the masters in the mansion. Not only is it brighter, but the smell is also not as pungent.
Her eyesight was poor but her nose was very sensitive. As soon as Qinghe entered the room, she smelled the scent on her body. After a quick review of the cause and effect, she understood it very clearly.
She didn't have evidence before, but she had long guessed that Qinghe must have it. That's why she asked the lady to find Qinghe without saying a word.
A servant who plots to murder his master is always panicking, so it is normal for him to accidentally splash oil on the ground, not to mention the smell of lamp oil.
After hearing her analysis and seeing Qing He trembling and unable to utter a word, what else could the people present not understand
The lady was so angry that she shouted, "Come here, beat this bitch who harmed the master to death!"
Murdering the master is a serious crime in any family or government!
"Second Madam, help me, Second Madam, help me!" Qing He's face was pale and she slumped to the ground. She looked at Yu pleadingly and shouted. At this point, she knew that the evidence was irrefutable and she could only place her hope on Yu.
"You...how dare you, how dare you do such a thing, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to your parents!" Yu took two steps forward and shouted loudly with a serious face.
Qing He's body was trembling. She knew that Yu was hinting at her, so she didn't dare to refuse. Her teeth were chattering, but she couldn't say a word. She just looked at Yu with pitiful eyes: "Save this slave... Save this slave."
Two old women came over and tried to drag her away.
"Wait, grandma! Since it's your birthday, please spare her life to accumulate merit for grandma. Just sell her and her whole family off! Out of sight, out of mind. I don't want to hear anything about Qinghe anymore, and I don't want to see any of Qinghe's family members!" Qu Moying said suddenly.
No one expected Qu Moying to plead for Qing He.
Yu shuddered and her brain reacted quickly. Qu Moying wanted to save Qinghe's life and sell out Qinghe's family. He would not be able to control Qinghe in the future. This would leave a hidden danger.
When did Qu Moying become so scheming
"Mother... this evil slave who harmed her master cannot be allowed to stay." Yu tried to stop him. Only when Qinghe died could everything be resolved.
"That's it. Qing He will be severely punished with 20 strokes of the cane, and the whole family will be sold out!" The old lady thought for a moment and ignored Yu. She said in a gentle voice, "Ying girl can't live here anymore. You should live in grandma's warm room first. When the courtyard over there is decorated, you can move in!"
The phrase "do good deeds" made the lady feel more sympathetic towards Qu Moying. She wanted to do good deeds for herself and for the child so that her eyes could truly get better!
Qu Moying's words were very well-crafted.
"Everything is up to grandma's instructions!" Qu Moying said softly. He looked at Yu's face which was almost unable to hold back her anger, sneered in his heart, turned around, supported the lady and slowly left.
"Master, it's almost time." The scene below had already dispersed, and the guard on the roof reminded.
"Take another look!" The handsome man curled the corners of his thin lips, raised his sleepy eyes with a hint of nobility, and looked at Qu Moying's receding back with a smile.
This girl is not bad. She looks delicate but acts ruthlessly and decisively. She meets the conditions he is looking for. However, this matter is serious, so he needs to wait and see...
