Su Yiqian could never let the housekeeper say her name. If this matter was known to the public, what would happen to her reputation?
When the housekeeper heard that Su Yiqian had pushed all the blame onto him, his expression changed. Though he was being glared at by Su Yiqian, he was not afraid. The punishment for stealing from the royal family was execution after all! If this matter was to escalate any further and he was the one who was blamed as the culprit then he was sure that he would be killed on the spot.
In the face of death, how could the housekeeper worry about petty things like benefits and fame? He looked at Su Yiqian and then turned to look at the head officer before saying, " If I tell the truth will my penalty be light?"
The head officer already had a suspicion that something was wrong after all how could a small housekeeper do something as shocking as stealing from his master? There must be some inside secret that they were not aware of at the moment.
He ruled out Su Bai and his family along with Lin Ze because they looked like honest villagers. They did not look like someone who would want to find trouble like this.
Instead, he turned to look at Su Yiqian who seemed to be panicking. He had experienced storms and fire for years what was there to not understand? He knew that this matter was related to Su Yiqian.
This imperial concubine was not a good person.
Su Yiqian could sense that the gazes directed at her were not good. She was so angry that she almost fainted, why was it that she could not get rid of these people even after taking a re-birth? Why were they pestering her so shamelessly?
Many people were watching the drama, including those who have been eyeing Lord Su for a long time.
Therefore, when the matter was exposed they all turned to look at Su Yiqian.
Though his son would suffer, Housekeeper Liu firmly believed that even a hundred years were not too long for a gentleman to take revenge. If he stayed silent then his family would suffer, if he exposed Su Yiqian then at least his family would survive.
Thus when the officers turned to him, housekeeper Liu gritted his teeth and then said grimly, " All the treasures are hidden in the manor of second master Su! If you don't believe me you can take the officers to check it, head officer! This matter had nothing to do with me, it's all concubine Su!
She was the one who wanted to harm these commoners and asked me to help her, I am just a small housekeeper. How dare I go against her ?"
"You...what nonsense!"
Her second brother was going to be a scholar in the future, he was about to enter the exams of the High-grade scholar. If this matter was known by his academy then she would be bringing great harm to her second brother!
When the nobles heard that Su Yiqian had actually moved the treasures to the manor of the second master they were really shocked. So the second master was in this scheme too? Usually, the second master looked kind and generous but behind everyone's backs he looked down on the commoners.
If not why would he help his sister harm commoners like this?
Bah, such a person wanted to become a scholar? Was he not afraid of ruining the names of the scholars?
Old Madam Su who heard that this vixen actually moved the entire treasury to her brother's house was really furious. The one who was Su Yiqian's blood brother was Su Yu Cheng and not that bastard who lived in the Su mansion but this phoney would rather trust that man instead of helping her brother!?
How could she not teach her a lesson?
