Concubine Allure: Pick up a prince and grab the country

Chapter 98 Chapter 114
No wonder it was rumored that there was an evil disease in the residence of the Marquis of Yongding, and the corpses of six or seven maidservants were dragged out to the Yizhuang in the suburbs.

It turned out that those maidservants were killed by sticks. As for who killed them, everyone would understand after a little thought.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wenshuang, who looks elegant, virtuous and virtuous on the surface, is actually so cruel and ruthless.

Seeing that the scapegoat was taken by Yun Xi and stopped by Yan Qingcheng, Steward Lu couldn't help feeling anxious, fearing that Master Hou would continue to investigate the matter, he hurriedly persuaded Qingcheng in a low voice.

"Miss, the mansion can't tolerate people betraying the master, you still—"

Yan Qingcheng suddenly turned her head and gave Steward Lu a cold look.

The steward Lu who stared at him suddenly became dizzy, as if he was attracted into the vortex by some mysterious force, and his mind was completely out of his control.

"Steward Lu, are you sure that on the fifth day of every month, you gave Yunxi 50 taels of silver." Yan Qingcheng stared at Steward Lu and asked word by word.

Steward Lu replied obediently as if being deceived: "The bill was indeed 50 taels, but I embezzled it privately, and then sent Yunxi away with only two taels of silver."

There was a sudden sigh in the audience.

"Who made you confiscate the property of the princess's pavilion?" Yan Qingcheng asked again.

"It's two—" Butler Lu had just opened his mouth to speak, when Ji Wenshuang suddenly shouted at Butler Lu.

"Steward Lu, think about it before you speak, don't talk nonsense in front of the big guys."

Steward Lu suddenly woke up with a start, and looked blankly at everyone staring at him with contempt and anger, but he didn't understand what he said just now that caused public outrage.

He turned to look at Ji Wenshuang begging for help. Ji Wenshuang stared at him coldly and said nothing, the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Steward Lu obviously had a premonition that he said something that shouldn't be said just now. He was flustered and afraid of what happened just now. He just felt his head was blank and dizzy. He couldn't remember anything else. He recalled it carefully, vaguely I remember that I seemed to say that he had embezzled the moon silver...

Steward Lu's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he knelt on the ground in panic, trying to defend himself.

"Lord Hou, I..."

Yan Aoxiong interrupted his words impatiently by throwing his hands away, holding back his anger, and said:

"Steward Lu, you have been in my Yan family for more than 20 years. Considering that you have worked hard in the Yan family, you will be punished with twenty sticks and get out of the house immediately."

Steward Lu was frightened out of his wits. After [-] sticks, it is unknown whether his old bones can survive. Plus he got out of the mansion. He is used to enjoying the good food and drink of the housekeeper of the Houmen, and he doesn't want to leave at all. Not open.

He repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Master Hou, please forgive me, Lord Hou, this old slave, this old slave was wronged."

Yan Aoxiong's face was frosty, and he turned slightly to avoid Steward Lu.

Seeing that Yan Aoxiong was unmoved, Steward Lu hurriedly knelt and turned around to kowtow in Ji Wenshuang's direction, shouting:
"Madam, madam, save this old slave, save this old slave."

Ji Wenshuang couldn't protect herself at this moment, so how could he keep him, not to mention that he himself admitted that he had withheld the moon silver from the Princess Pavilion, so many ears listened to her, and she was too weak to recover, so she had no choice but to abandon the car to protect the handsome man.

Seeing Ji Wenshuang, Steward Lu was also indifferent, knowing that Ji Wenshuang had already abandoned him, and that after working so hard for Ji Wenshuang's mother and daughter in vain, he chose to play wisely to protect himself and let him be the scapegoat.

He was naturally dissatisfied, and stared at Ji Wenshuang with resentment on his face, "Ma'am, you are so ungrateful, you ordered this old slave to do these things, how can you refuse to save me?" Since he was going to die, he would not let Ji Wenshuang better off.

Ji Wenshuang paled in panic, pointing at Steward Lu and trying to defend herself, "Master, don't listen to this old bastard's nonsense, he's just jumping over the wall to frame his concubine—"
