Chapter 115 Pleading for the Dog
The housekeeper raised his head, glanced at the mother and daughter, gritted his teeth, and kowtowed violently.

"Madam, I admit it. I did everything by myself. My mother and daughter know nothing about it!"

The old woman's eyes were tearful and her lips trembled slightly. It was all her fault. She was too greedy. If she had accepted Madam Mu's kindness and restored her slave status, how great would that be?
But she couldn't let go of the Mu family's wealth and wanted to get some of it. As a result, now her whole family is facing the risk of beheading.

She wiped away her tears, grabbed her granddaughter's hand and stood up.

"Young Madam, Miss, I was Madam Mu's wet nurse back then. I helped Madam Mu before. Madam Mu will definitely not kill our family!"

As he spoke, he began to believe it, with determination in his eyes.

"I request to see Madam Mu. If you are willing to let my son and granddaughter go, I am willing to commit suicide to apologize!"

The second sister-in-law snorted coldly, "Suicide? Suicide is too easy for you. Just wait, the Dali Temple will have to conduct an investigation. After all, the whereabouts of so much money must be thoroughly investigated!"

The old woman's heart trembled. Dali Temple? Dali Temple is not a place for people to stay. You will be dead if you don't die.

She collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the ground.

When the girl next to them saw her grandmother and father like this, she suddenly jumped up and pointed at her second sister-in-law and cursed.

"Who do you think you are? Can you be the master of the shogunate?"

"I'm telling you, I'm the future Third Young Master's wife and the master of the shogunate!"

The girl spoke to me without thinking, completely forgetting her grandmother's instructions.

The old woman's heart trembled. It was over.

She had such a plan. Her granddaughter was beautiful, had been brought up in pampered condition, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Madam Mu doesn't care about the matching of family backgrounds, and the third young master is different from the eldest and second young masters. If the two are in love, Madam Mu might agree if the third young master asks.

Even if he disagrees, considering the looks of his granddaughter, it would be fine for her to be a concubine. In the future, he could use some tricks to make the Third Young Master's wife kill the mother and keep the son, and make his granddaughter his co-wife.

The girl was still pointing at the two people and cursing, totally unaware that her grandmother and father looked as if the sky had fallen.

Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect this family to be so shameless. It refreshed her senses.

The second sister-in-law looked at them in shock. Since ancient times, there were many mistresses who were born as peasants, but most of them had fought for the empire with their husbands. However, there were very few young masters of official families who fell in love with maids and married them. Most of them were concubines.

The second sister-in-law rubbed her forehead and carefully recalled the girl's previous appearance. She could only be said to be pretty, but compared with her sister-in-law and Miss Gao, she was still a little inferior.

The second sister-in-law snorted coldly, "Is this maid still asleep? Does she need to be taught a lesson?"

The girl shuddered and her face still hurt a lot. If she was hit again, her face would be disfigured!
She looked at the two of them with resentment. God was so unfair. Why was the other one the lady and the master, while she was born to be a slave?

The housekeeper also wanted to keep the two of them forever, but the truth will come out sooner or later.

If they wanted to escape, the mother was too old and the daughter was too young to know anything, so they couldn't get far.

If the Mu family pursues the matter, he will be caught back soon.

He could only gamble now, betting that his mother could still save face in front of Madam Mu, and with some favors, maybe she could even spare a few lives.

"Madam, I have spent part of the money I earned over the years. The rest is here. I will go find it right away!"

The manager lowered his head and spoke submissively, saying that the silver was hidden in several places, and there was some in this farm.

The numbers definitely don't match, but we'll find as many as we can. The dynasty allowed slaves to set up private businesses, but there were requirements for the number, and they had to be registered with the court.

The land and shops were in the names of the steward and his daughter, and the rest was in the name of the woman he was having an affair with.

The woman was of good origin and gave birth to a son for him. In this way, his son could take the imperial examinations and become an official in the future.

Most of the future industries will be left to sons, because daughters will get married after all.

I have to say that his plan was very good. If it was an ordinary official family, it might not be possible to find out, but the Mu family was different, especially since Mu Qingqing also had the Akatsuki organization.

There are silver notes and silver. Silver has no signs and can be used universally.

Everything was prepared. If we hadn't happened to meet the farmers today, and if Mu Qingqing hadn't brought Master Lu and the others with her, I'm afraid this matter would have continued to be concealed.

Finally, Mrs. Mu came with the eldest and second sons.

The second sister-in-law and Mu Qingqing went out to greet them. When they saw the family kneeling on the ground, their eyes were filled with confusion.

"You are Nanny Cao, and this is your son? He is already a housekeeper, right?"

Mrs. Mu looked kind at this moment, and seemed easy to talk to, which made the old woman feel relieved and she knelt down at Mrs. Mu's feet.

"I feel ashamed of your teaching. It's all my fault that I failed to teach you well and let my son embezzle the money from the farm."

"Please, for the sake of this old slave's only son, let him go!"

The steward knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. On weekdays, he was used to bullying others in the farm, but only in front of the real big shots did he realize the gap between them.

Madam Mu glanced at the three of them and suddenly snorted coldly, "I was wondering why Nanny Cao refused to remove her slave status. It turns out that she values ​​the connections in our Mu Mansion."

The voice was cold. Did he really think he was easy to bully? What a joke. The death of a betrayer was not a pity. The little kindness he had shown to his master was not a reason for his ambition to grow.

"Boss, send these three people to the Dali Temple and let the adults have a thorough trial. And those helpers, take them all away with them."

"Yes, mother!"

Mu Jingyi brought a group of people to take the three housekeepers and the group of big men away.

After a while, the farmers outside cheered loudly.

The girl was like a fool after Madam Mu appeared and dared not say a word. This was the mistress of the house. Compared with her, her grandmother was not even a little bit inferior.

Under the other party's sharp eyes, she couldn't carry out any conspiracy or trickery.

With her hands tied, the girl suddenly started to cry, "Grandma, Dad, it's all your fault. Why did you betray us? If we had stayed in the shogunate, with my ability, wouldn't the Third Young Master have taken a liking to me?"

The eldest and second young masters are both as handsome as banished immortals, so how could the third young master be any worse?
"Mom, didn't you say that Madam Mu wouldn't use our family as a target? Didn't you say that you've done Madam Mu a favor?"

The steward looked at the mother with red eyes, and the old woman shuddered all over. Back then, she was just a wet nurse and had taken care of Madam Mu several times when she was sick.

But isn't this what a slave should do? How can it be considered a favor?

When he got older, he valued that position and enjoyed the life of a master. He was dazzled and reluctant to give up the wealth and splendor he had obtained.

The old woman murmured, "I just want to be a master and live a rich life. Is that wrong?"
