"Mother Liu, you know that I have not treated her harshly in the past few years. But at the end of the day, she was lost in my hands. I didn't eat the mutton, but she got a lot of trouble.
"
Mrs. Li was angry and anxious. The most she could do was abandon the dead girl from the big house and stay in the side courtyard without any education.
It is said that over the years, that damn girl has developed a submissive temperament, and she spends most of a month in the house without going out.
It would be better now to cause such a big fuss for her.
When Dafang learns about the missing girl, will she still want to live?
After all, the person was lost from her hands.
"Third Madam, didn't I say what I said! It has been four years since Madam Jiang arrived here from the capital. As the child grows up, her appearance will naturally change. Since she is really missing, why not let us
Lady Lin dressed up as Lady Jiang, and even the people sent by the eldest lady couldn’t tell whether it was true or false.”
Hearing what Grandma Liu said, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
She knew that although the Xu family was a noble family, because Xu Hongluan was the only girl of the Xu family's generation, her dowry was so rich that it made people jealous.
If my daughter were to become Xu Hongluan's daughter instead of that dead girl, not only would she be able to marry into a wealthy family, the dowry would also be much larger than what she gave her.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li's hands trembled.
She firmly grasped Nanny Liu's wrist, raised her head and looked at Nanny Liu intently.
"Mommy, is this really feasible?"
"It's natural, Third Madam. The old servant has thought about it. Madam Jiang doesn't go out of the yard very often. There are very few servants in the mansion who know Madam Jiang's appearance. And the girl and servant who originally served Madam Jiang are cunning.
As long as they have a handle on them, they will naturally not be afraid that they will come forward to expose her. After all, they are the first to bear the brunt of Mrs. Jiang’s disappearance and deserve the death penalty."
Grandma Liu smiled proudly, looked back at Mrs. Li, and said with certainty.
"As for Lin'er, what should we do if she doesn't want to?"
"Third Madam, don't worry too much. Madam Lin told the old slave about this matter. The old servant thinks this method is very good and came here to discuss it with the Third Madam."
Hearing what Grandma Liu said, Mrs. Li was stunned and a little unbelievable.
"Is this what Lin'er proposed to you?"
"Yes, Madam Lin is very smart, so don't worry, Third Madam, she will definitely not show off her flaws."
Li's eyes flickered a little, thinking about the overwhelming wealth, she immediately gritted her teeth and gave the order.
"Go, tell me that Lin'er suddenly fell seriously ill, and have white cloth and white lanterns hung outside the house. I'm so sad that I can't get up. When the carriages and horses from the big house arrive, I will take them directly to Jiang'er's yard.
Go there and take her back to the capital! As your third aunt, I won’t send her away."
"Yes, Third Madam."
Aunt Liu stepped back with a smile on her face. Soon, everyone in the house got the news that Lady Lin suddenly fell seriously ill.
Then all the servants, maids, and servants in her yard were sold off.
Grandma Liu bought a lot of people from outside and asked them to serve Mrs. Jiang in the big house.
Among them, Caihe, the eldest maid who was originally serving Lady Jiang, and Nanny Tang, the solemn-looking servant girl, were being locked up in the woodshed by Nanny Liu, looking decadent. They didn't know that things had changed outside the Dou Mansion.
"Mother Tang, what should we do? If the young lady cannot be found, we will all have to suffer. This time, I am afraid that if I don't die, I will die!"
Caihe was so heartbroken when she thought that she was still so young and would be blamed for death and couldn't help but cover her face and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? You still have the nerve to cry? You didn't even follow the lady when she went out. Now that she's missing, what's the point of crying? I still have children and grandchildren. If the eldest lady knows about the disappearance of the lady, I'm afraid
Not only me, but my entire family must pay for the young lady’s life.”
When Grandma Tang thought of this, tears could not help but fill her eyes.
When Caihe heard what Granny Tang said, she was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground because she thought that her parents, siblings, were also in the hands of the eldest lady!
If the eldest lady wants to be convicted again, what should we do?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she cried louder.
It only made Grandma Tang cry so upset that she wanted to go forward and cover the little hoof's mouth.
Just when the two of them thought that both their families would have to pay for the young lady's life, the door of the woodshed was opened.
"Mother Liu, please help me and tell the third lady that the disappearance of the young lady really has nothing to do with me! Please spare me, the third lady!"
When Caihe saw Nanny Liu standing at the door, she immediately struggled to get up, ran towards Nanny Liu, knelt down in front of her with a bang, and kowtowed to show her innocence.
Aunt Tang had always been at odds with Aunt Liu, but now that her life was in the other's hand, she could not pick up Qiao Lai. She shed tears and knelt down in front of Aunt Tang along with Cai He.
However, she did not beg for mercy for herself. After all, it was true that the young lady was missing. It was a great kindness to just ask the third lady to spare her life.
Grandma Liu saw Caihe kneeling and crying and begging, and Grandma Tang looking decadent and crying. After admiring it for a long time, she touched her sleeves and raised her eyelids and said.
"Mrs. Jiang will disappear because you are not taking good care of her, so it has nothing to do with you. But, the third lady is kind-hearted and has come up with a best-of-two-pronged approach that can save the lives of both of you and your family. It depends on whether you want to live or not!
"
After hearing what Nanny Liu said, Caihe and Nanny Tang looked at each other and nodded without hesitation, indicating that they would definitely obey the third lady's orders.
Aunt Liu took a step forward, squatted down, and then whispered in the ears of Caihe and Aunt Tang.
"What?"
Caihe exclaimed, thinking of something, he immediately covered his mouth tightly and looked at Grandma Liu with wide eyes.
Grandma Tang also looked frightened, and her whole body was shaking.
Aunt Liu told them everything. If they didn't cooperate, they might die.
"Remember, go and serve Mrs. Jiang well and wait for Madam and the others to pick you up. If you have anything to say or something not to say, don't you need me to teach you? It's a pity that our Lady Lin doesn't have such a good life, she has a sudden illness.
Otherwise, I will definitely go to the capital with my sister, Mrs. Jiang."
Having said this, Grandma Liu pretended to raise her sleeves and pressed the corners of her eyes.
"yes."
Caihe and Grandma Tang felt chills all over their bodies, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only way to avoid being punished.
So, he quickly figured it out, leaned down and touched his forehead to the ground in reply.
Dou Lin, no, Dou Jiang is staying in his room now, looking at Cai He and Aunt Tang who came to recognize his master with satisfaction, with a proud smile on his face.
