The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 624 The Concubine is Very Easy-going
Probably what Xuemei said was effective, Ping'er began to raise her head little by little, and after glancing at Lin Jiaojiao, she lowered her head again in fear.

"Slave... Slave... Slave's beloved is in trouble..." Ping'er's voice was still trembling, and she finally gritted her teeth and said in a breath: "Slave didn't want her beloved to be beaten to death, so she stole the money from the house!"

After the words fell, Ping'er directly kowtowed her head on the ground, and said: "I know my mistake, I am willing to be punished."

"Beloved?" Lin Jiaojiao asked, and glanced at Chen Luo, who was holding his hands tightly beside her, and she immediately noticed the clue.

She didn't try to expose anything, she said to Ping'er: "Tell me, why did your beloved ask you to spend so much money to save him?"

"My servant has a good friend outside. He is a scholar. Because his elder brother owed a gambling debt and ran away. He can't even pass this year's imperial examination. He pays the debt every day but he can't finish it. Those people say that if they don't pay back the money, they will kill him. I couldn't bear it, so I made such a bad move..."

Ping'er kept saying one sentence, but it was fluent, not like something made up at the scene.

How true is this story?How false is it?It's hard to tell for a while.

Ping'er's mood gradually calmed down a bit, and after saying this, the whole person felt much better.

If she bears this crime for her own girl, she will die at worst, and her girl will never admit it. Once she admits it, even if the girl is beaten, Mr. Ma will not be able to live.

This young man is dead, and her girl can't live anymore.

Chen Luo stared at Ping'er's trembling back, her heart seemed to be pierced by the point of a knife. Ping'er wanted to save her face at this moment, but she... dared not admit what she had done.

She clearly said every day that she must be brave to be a human being, but now she is also afraid. Once she admits it, Brother Ma is afraid that she will not be able to save her...

But Ping'er is her best sister, how can she bear to see Ping'er being punished for her?

I was in a dilemma for a while and couldn't find a good solution.

"What about the money? Is it all for your beloved?" Lin Jiaojiao continued to ask.

Ping'er nodded, but she was afraid that the concubine would cause trouble to Mr. Ma, so she hurriedly said: "The slave gave him all the money, but he is a heartless man, so he took the money and left Hangzhou."

"Leaving Hangzhou?" Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help chuckling, and asked, "Since you have already left Hangzhou, why do you want to steal money today?"

"Slave..." Ping'er panicked for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "Slave is so angry, I want to steal some money so I can find him."

At this time, Qingtao came back, and after coming in, she subdued herself to Lin Jiaojiao and Chen Luo, and said with a straight face, "Ping'er's room has been searched by the servants, nothing special."

"En." Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly, continued to look at Ping'er, and said: "Since you have already given away the money, there is no way for the princess to get it back, and the slave who stole the money from the master's house should be beaten to death. "

"Thank you, Princess Wang." Ping'er kowtowed to Lin Jiaojiao again, not intending to defend herself at all.

Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, looked at Chen Luo, and said lightly: "Luo Luo, this is your maid, but she made such a big mistake, and you are also responsible, so the princess will punish you to count the boards for Ping'er Well, when people die, they can stop."

"Third Sister..." Chen Luo's hands were shaking badly, his eyes were moist, and his face was full of horror.
