Seeing that Mammy Luo was scared and about to tell everything, s.h.i.+ Juncai was also terrified that his legs became weak for a while. He said in advance, "Luo Song, my mother sent you to guard the ancestral hall. How do you dare to neglect your duties? Do you still want to quibble?"

Mammy Luo became a little more conscious with his yell, and her original confession was swallowed back under s.h.i.+ Juncai's glaring.

All the lives of her family were in s.h.i.+ Juncai's hands. If she dared to drag him into this mess, he could ruin her with one finger!

"It's all my fault. I hated the first madam's partiality and canceled my salary this month, and I made such a mistake. Your Majesty, please forgive me this time, regarding that I've been cautious and conscientious these years!" As if she suddenly understood, Mammy Luo burst into tears, and had a good att.i.tude of confession, but she did not mention who directed it.

"You! You're being stupid. Even if Dong Hui is biased, you can't make such a mistake!" s.h.i.+ Juncai reprimanded with pity.

Then he turned to Mo Shujun and sighed, "Mother, Luo Song is guilty, but she has been with you for so many years. You see..."

s.h.i.+ Juncai and the servant talked without a break, and they worked perfectly together. In the end, s.h.i.+ Juncai actually wanted to settle this matter with some small punishments and serious criticism.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue sneered, "Third Uncle, Mammy Luo burned the ancestral hall secretly, slandered my mother, and desecrated my grandfather's tablet. Would you still like to let these things pa.s.s?"

s.h.i.+ Juncai's thought was revealed straightforwardly. He choked up and his shame turned into anger, "Isn't it unsuccessful anyway?"

"Huh! If she really had burned Grandpa's tablet, I would have sliced her alive!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't hide her hatred for Mammy Luo at this time, and the grief in her eyes seemed to really peel and swallow her alive.

It was exactly this old woman who had burned the ancestral hall and maliciously framed her mother. As a result, her mother's power to be in charge of shrine and accommodation as the wife of Duke was taken away. And s.h.i.+ Junhe, the Duke s.h.i.+, fought in the warfare all year round, so he had no chance to protect his wife.

When s.h.i.+ Qingxue was not married yet, Mo Shujun at most disliked Dong Hui regarding her, but she never was mean or blamed Dong Hui. However, after she married to the fourth prince, even if she wanted to help her mother, she couldn't reach her.

Later, after s.h.i.+ Junhe died in the battlefield, Dong Hui's status in the s.h.i.+ Family was not even as good as a concubine!

She couldn't tolerate such grievance anyway!

Fortunately, she knew it in advance in this life. Even if she couldn't remove these evil people in her third uncle's family immediately, she had to kill this executioner who slandered her mother!

Obviously, Mo Shujun was also not satisfied with s.h.i.+ Juncai's wrong remark, and stared coldly at s.h.i.+ Juncai before asking Qingxue, "Qingxue, how do you think is appropriate to deal with Luo Song?"

This was to give s.h.i.+ Qingxue the right of punishment.

"Mother! Qingxue is still a child, how could she..." s.h.i.+ Juncai just weakened but couldn't help protesting when he heard the words. However, before he even finished the words, Mo Shujun gave him a cold glance, he had to shut up unwillingly.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue quietly looked at Mo Shujun's gracious gaze with encouragement, and then lowered her head after a moment, and said with a flat tone, "Mammy Luo is not a servant in my family. How do I dare to cross the boundary? It would be more appropriate to let my mother deal with this. Grandmother, you make my mother in charge of shrine and accommodation, so of course you believe that my mother is capable of handling this matter."

After Mo Shujun heard this, she turned to Dong Hui, the Duke's wife. After a while, she nodded and said in a casual tone, "Since this is the case, this matter is all yours to handle. The family of third master should return to the backyard with me."

Although s.h.i.+ Juncai was unwilling to let Dong Hui pa.s.s this time, it was definitely not good for him to delve into the arson at the ancestral hall.

He grinned, and secretly said, "Even if you happened to catch Mammy Luo, I don't believe you still have such good luck later!"

When everyone was gone, Dong Hui was relieved and silently wiped the sweat on her forehead.

She was almost driven to the corner by those of the third master's family. She did not only suffer from chagrin, but also was slandered. It was really dangerous.

Had s.h.i.+ Qingxue not refuted for her with her smart words, how would Mo Shujun have given her the power to deal with Mammy Luo. So now she also paid much attention to s.h.i.+ Qingxue's opinions.

"Qingxue, what should I do with this evil servant? Mammy Luo is experienced in this family, and has served the princess royal for so many years. She..."
