"Because of a sudden change in the family, I couldn't help but cry. Coincidentally, the young miss saw it, so she called her servant over.

"Eldest Miss wanted me to pay attention to the movements of Qing An Courtyard, especially the Third Miss' movements when she was at Qing An Courtyard. She needed to report every single detail to her, so she pretended not to see me cry. She even gave me some silver taels to use at home …"

As Yu Zhu timidly spoke, Lian Yan Qing's gaze became increasingly profound. Even his mother's figure swayed slightly as she suddenly gripped her hand tightly.

"Yuzhu, you …" Lian Ruyue's face suddenly turned pale, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Eldest Miss, you actually let a maidservant spy on the madame!" Auntie Xiao said in a loud voice, her face revealing a look of disbelief.

"This, this is simply too scary. Elder sister, how can you watch grandmother? Grandmother is so nice to you, how can you do such a thing? " Lian Shiya pretended to be shocked. It seemed that Lian Shiyu's mother wasn't worth it, but a smile was already flickering in the depths of her eyes.

If it was true that Lian Ruyue was monitoring Qingan Courtyard, then her crimes could not be forgiven!

No matter if it was Yan Qing or his mother, neither of them would allow anyone to perform these petty tricks in the manor.

"When this servant told eldest miss that this servant unintentionally saw Third Miss ordering Peony to attack Little White Fox, eldest miss didn't immediately tell the madame. Instead, she repeatedly told this servant to keep this matter a secret and to not tell anyone else about it. Only now did he finally know that it was to take revenge on Aunt Xiao and Third Young Miss.

"Madame, servant, your servant deserves to die ten thousand times for her crimes. Your servant should have told Song mama the moment I discovered there was a problem with the peony, but, but …" As Yu Zhu spoke, she carefully glanced at Lian Ruyue. "But Eldest Miss has given her orders, so I don't dare to say anything."

Lian Yue and Lian Yue looked frightened and frightened at the same time, but after listening to Yu Zhu's words, they slowly calmed down. A mocking smile slowly seeped out from the corner of their lips as they quietly looked at Yu Zhu.

Yu Zhu couldn't help but shiver when he felt this gaze that was like a blade slicing through the throat. His eyes flashed as he lowered his head in a somewhat guilty manner.

"Yue Er, what else do you have to say?" Lian Yanqing's eyes were like torches as he looked at his daughter. Lian Ruyue's gaze met his — —

This father was worthy of being the Prime Minister, and was a formidable enemy.

"Father, if I wanted to wrongly accuse someone, even if I had ten mouths, I wouldn't be able to say it clearly. Yue Er is sitting right there with no guilty conscience." Lian Ruyue said.

He heard Lian Shiya say 'lightly', "Big Sister's innocent expression seems like Father was intentionally wrongly accusing you. How can you say that about Father?"

Lian Ruyue raised her eyes and calmly looked at Lian Shiya.

Lian Meng sneered mockingly and said, "Lian Shiya pretending to be innocent is also rare."

"…" When Lian Shiya heard Lian Fang's sarcasm, her mouth opened wide as if she wanted to say something. But when she saw his ice-cold expression, she swallowed the words in her mouth. This brother wasn't someone to be trifled with.

"Master, you can't listen to just one side of this servant girl's story. This lowly servant is speaking nonsense, how can it be used as evidence?" The first wife saw that Lian Yanqing seemed to have already accepted Lian Ruyue's crime and was worried that her daughter would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly said.

A slight smile appeared on the woman's face as she softly said, "Eldest madam, just now, this young maid, Peony, accused Third Miss of a one-sided matter. You all believed it. Why can't you believe a one-sided matter about Yu Zhu?"

"..." "Ai …" At this time, Lian Meng Yue sighed deeply as a look of pity appeared in her eyes. She said, "Aunt Xiao, Third Sister, Yu Zhu is just a pitiful maid with a poor family background. I pitied her for being so lonely that day so I gave her some silver taels as a family allowance.

"Eldest Miss, what do you mean by that? We don't have any dealings with Jade Bamboo. " When Aunt Xiao heard this, she immediately straightened her back. She didn't believe it …

"Big Sis, are you saying that we should lie in front of Father? How could a lowly maidservant like Yu Zhu dare to do such a thing? Your ability to turn black into white will not work this time. " Even Shiya said excitedly when she heard this.

"…" Lian Xiyue shook her head, her eyes revealing a trace of sadness. "I originally wanted to just let Third Sister and Aunt Xiao receive the appropriate punishment for the matter with the White Fox, but I didn't think that you would scheme this early on and let a maid frame me, separating father and I …"

"Eldest Miss …" Yu Zhu was startled. She looked at Lian Ruyue with frightened eyes. What did Eldest Miss mean?

"Men, go to my Celestial Lotus Courtyard and bring back the things that accidentally dropped in my courtyard when you came to thank me for the rain and jade bamboo." Lian Ruyue slowly said to the maidservants outside.

What is it? Puzzled looks appeared in the eyes of the crowd. Auntie Xiao and Lian Shiya sneered at Lian Ruyue. Since things had come to this point, what tricks could she play?

Not long later, the door curtain opened. The maid, Liu Ming, walked in with something in her hands and placed it in Lian Xiyue's hands.

Lian Ruyue lightly sighed and said, "When I discovered this secret that day, I was still thinking that this must have been a coincidence. Now it seems that isn't the case."

"Yue Er, what is this?" the First Lady asked, and at the same time asked what everyone wanted to know.

Lian Ruyue raised this money bag in her hands and looked at Yu Zhu, asking, "This money bag, is it yours?"

When Yu Zhu saw the lotus flower embroidered pouch, she was momentarily stunned. Her face paled slightly as she said with a trembling voice, "It, it belongs to me."

"That's right, this is yours, it's because you came to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard that day to express your gratitude, thanking me for giving you silver to subsidize your family, but before you left, you accidentally dropped a purse in my courtyard. You originally wanted to come back and retrieve your wallet, but I accidentally discovered the contents …"

As she spoke, Lian Ruyue took out the items from the bag. What came out was a few bronze coins and … A pair of heavy scarlet gold bracelets looked quite heavy.

Everyone was stunned. Why would this lowly maid carry such precious jewelry with her? Where did she get it from?

"What is this?" Lian Yanqing looked at the gold bracelet and asked solemnly.

And when Lian Shiya saw this gold bracelet, her expression immediately changed!

"Oh, Mother, do you remember? During last year's Chinese New Year, you took out many gold and silver items to give to your children as rewards. At that time, Shi Ya'er was very good with her, so you gave her this pair of bracelets. Mrs Liu looked at the bracelet and suddenly her eyes lit up as she shouted.
