Chapter 413
Now that the second wife came out to seize the power of the middle minister, Mrs. Liu couldn't sit still.
Just now, when the Duke took back the power of the middle fund from the eldest lady, she thought that she was annoying the old lady, and the old lady would definitely not hand over the power of the middle fund to her, so she did not say anything.
But when the second wife came out to seize power, Liu thought that the Duke of Guo was the most just person, not to mention that the Duke of Guo was the one who made the decision now, so he might give the money to her.
Mrs. Liu stood up and walked to Cui Hengyue's side. She first looked at Cui Hengyue kindly, and then said to the person sitting on the upper seat: "Master, Madam, Yuanniang is young and has a simple mind.
"I have just returned home not long ago, how could I have expected that someone would be so bold as to sneak into the mansion?
"Yuan Niang is not at fault for this matter. Please forgive Yuan Niang, Mr. Guo and the old lady."
When something goes wrong, someone has to take responsibility. Since it's not Cui Hengyue's responsibility, it must be the eldest lady's responsibility.
Mrs. Liu thought that saying this would not only show her concern for Cui Hengyue, but also make the Duke determined to take back the eldest wife's power as a middle-income earner.
Mrs. Cui Er saw through Mr. Liu's little thoughts at a glance, but at this time she and Ms. Liu had the same purpose, so they could cooperate for once.
Then Mrs. Cui Er agreed: "Young Yuan Niang is in trouble. You can't blame her for this. Moreover, she is injured now and cannot be punished. I think we should just let her meditate on her past in her room."
Meditate on your own mistakes?
Cui Hengyue glanced at Mrs. Cui Er. She was doing herself a favor by saying this. She could just meditate on her past in the room and take the opportunity to recover from her injuries. She could also...
She quietly looked at Cui Yongxuan again, and was disappointed when she saw that he was just sitting and drinking tea.
Although she knew Cui Yongxuan didn't like her, she was still his biological daughter, so he actually ignored her?
Feeling a dull pain in her back, Cui Hengyue looked away, feeling even more disappointed.
"Father, mother."
Cui Yongwang suddenly interjected: "Although my sister-in-law was negligent in this matter, she has never made any mistakes before. She has no credit but hard work.
"Besides, there has been a lot of turmoil in the house recently. At this time, someone is changing to be in charge of Zhongfu. If something unexpected happens, it is better to let my sister-in-law continue to be in charge of Zhongfu."
Mrs. Cui Er glared at her fiercely.
Cui Yongwang didn't see it. He and Cui Yongzong looked at each other and smiled, their brotherly love was beyond words.
"Ahem——"
Mrs. Cui's cough suddenly sounded in the room. Cui Yongxuan looked at his mother and saw her winking at him.
He woke up suddenly. He was the only one in the room who had not spoken, something seemed wrong.
"Father, mother..." Cui Yongxuan stood up and said: "I think Yuanniang really doesn't know about this, and she doesn't know anything. Why don't we let her rest early."
Seeing Cui Quan's tense face relax, Mrs. Cui showed a satisfied look.
A father is kind and his son is filial, and brothers and sisters are respectful to their brothers. This is what the Duke of the country likes to see.
Cui Quan glanced around the room, looked at Cui Hengyue intently for a moment, and finally announced: "You are right, Xie's punishment is indeed a bit severe.
"The middle fund is still handed over to the Xie family, but this time the matter must not go unpunished. From today on, the Lu family and the Liu family will help the Xie family in charge of the affairs of the mansion.
"As for Yuanniang, she will reflect behind closed doors for ten days."
It's not too long either.
Cui Hengyue weakly saluted: "Thank you, grandfather, thank you grandma."
At this time, Zhu Lin's voice came from outside: "My lord, I have something to report."
Cui Quan got up and walked out, and the others followed.
"Take good care of yourself." Mrs. Cui told Cui Hengyue and left in a hurry.
Cui Hengyue hurriedly chased her out, only to hear a faint sentence: "...Ms. Wen and her accomplices were rescued..."
Rescued?
Very good!
Cui Hengyue couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Fu and Shui Rong took a long breath, looked at each other and smiled.
"Yuan Niang——"
Orange walked over with a worried look on her face: "How is your injury?"
As soon as she appeared, Cui Hengyue remembered what happened before, and her tone softened: "It's just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days. Come in with me."
Shui Furong and Shui Rong made a tacit agreement to leave one person to guard the door, while another person went in to serve Cui Hengyue.
"Sit down." Cui Hengyue asked Juhong to sit down and asked, "I remember you were not far from Mrs. Wen at the time. Why did you lie to Commander Bai?"
Juhong had just sat down, but after hearing this, she stood up again, looking uneasy: "I...I felt that Yuan Niang didn't want to hand over Mrs. Wen, so I... said that.
"But later I heard that Mrs. Wen had hurt Yuan Niang, and I realized that I had done something wrong. It was my fault. It was me who caused Yuan Niang to be hurt..."
Cui Hengyue couldn't help but feel moved, and stepped forward to help her up: "This is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself.
"At that time, Prince Changshan was embarrassing Lady Wen, and then Commander Bai came. I thought they also wanted to embarrass Lady Wen, so they didn't want to hand her over.
"However, I made a mistake. Madam Wen and the coachman Wang Balang both had fake identities and were not worthy of my trust at all..."
It turned out that the other person was Wang Balang. Orange listened carefully.
"You did a great job this time. Starting from tomorrow, you will take over Madam Wen's errand and be promoted to second-class maid."
Juhong was overjoyed and immediately thanked her: "Xie Yuanniang, I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations of me."
"I believe you." Cui Hengyue paused and then ordered: "By the way, the servant who told Bai Qi about Madam Wen's whereabouts will be left to you."
Juhong was stunned for a moment. She wanted to ask how to deal with it, but then she thought that Yuan Niang was probably testing her, so she changed her mind: "Yes, I'll go right away."
As soon as she walked out of the door, Orange was knocked to the ground.
"Ouch......"
Orange rubbed her forehead and looked at the person who hit her angrily: "How do you walk?"
"Right..."
The apology was suddenly stuck, and Yao Shisan was lost in thought while looking at Ju Hong's half-exposed arm.
Seeing the man looking at her with a squinting look, Orange stood up and slapped him: "You're a scumbag."
When she raised her hand to hit someone again, Juhong suddenly remembered the errand Cui Hengyue had given her and ran away.
Shui Fu, who had been watching the excitement at the door, covered her mouth and snickered: "I didn't expect that Yao Langjun, who has always been upright and upright, would be scolded as a disciple. It's really strange."
Yao Shisan ignored her, put away his thoughts, and walked into the room quickly: "Yuan Niang, Mrs. Wen and Su Biwen were not rescued, they were robbed."
What?
Cui Hengyue stood up in shock: "Who robbed them?"
Shui Rong was shocked, and even Shui Fu who was guarding the door changed her face when she vaguely heard it. She wanted to go in and listen carefully, but she thought she had to guard the door, so she stood outside the door and pricked up her ears to listen.
Yao Shisan lowered his voice and replied: "I don't know who kidnapped them, but I just overheard Zhu Lin's men saying that a group of men in black originally rescued them, but they didn't escape far.
, and was robbed by another group of men in black.
"It seems that the two groups of men in black are not traveling together..."
Cui Hengyue's face darkened: "No, I have to save them."
Seeing that she was about to change clothes, Shui Rong quickly grabbed her and said, "You don't know who the person who robbed them is. Where are you going to rescue them?"
