Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"You're right. What she did has nothing to do with me. But I'm afraid that the copper pea in Jingzhao Prefecture is not easy to deal with. If the case is brought to him, I'm afraid it won't work if he doesn't come to a conclusion."

"Even if there is a result, it is that Xu Xiucai failed to complain and was beaten up. Isn't this just right?" Huixiang said with a flattering smile, which made Gu very unhappy.

She knew that this girl was taking advantage of every opportunity to gain advantage of others, but in the past two months, Nanny Gu had become somewhat distant from her, and there were some things she didn't want her to do.

There just happened to be a sensible maid around, so Gu was happy to share power, to avoid Nanny Gu's family being the only one in power, and she had to give her some power.

"Alas... Nanny Gu is someone I brought with me from the mansion, how could I not miss her?"

"Madam is nostalgic, but I heard that she is not very loyal to you..."

"How dare you!" Gu's eyes narrowed and she became fierce. Even if she and the nanny had a grudge, it was not the turn of an outsider to instigate!

Hui Xiang knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and looked at Gu Shuang: "Madam, I dare not say anything nonsense. But I serve you, so I naturally worry about you day and night, so I can hear some rumors."

"Oh?" The frost on Gu's face melted away, and she asked with a fake smile, "What are you talking about? I want to hear it, just to relieve my boredom."

"It's, it's about the previous incident at the stables... Although Cai was beaten, she still secretly told the people in the mansion afterwards that it was Madam Gu who asked her to do it, to reduce the amount of concentrated feed. She was acting as a shield for Madam Gu."

When this matter was mentioned again, Gu was really unhappy. In fact, she had doubts before. Why would Cai touch the feed so casually when she was fine? But she would listen to Madam Gu without hesitation.

"Haha, Huixiang, everyone has to have a reason for doing things. It's unacceptable for Madam Gu to do this." This is Gu's usual style. The more suspicious someone is, the more they will show trust on the surface.

"I have heard that Madam Gu has gained a lot of benefits from the account office in the mansion. I am afraid that reducing the amount of concentrated feed is also for the purpose of making money."

Gu knew Madam Gu's methods. Most of the money she made went into her own pocket, and became her own private treasury. She was happy to let Madam Gu drink the remaining money, so that she could last longer.

Is she so short of money that she should also deduct the cost of the horse?

"Madame Gu is someone close to me. She has never been short of money. This reason is obviously not true."

Huixiang was a little anxious. She had already fallen out with Nanny Gu today. If she didn't make sure she completely lost the lady's trust, how could she still live a good life?

He crawled a few steps on his knees and came to Gu's bedside: "Madam, actually...actually, your water flow has decreased in the past two months, I'm afraid it has something to do with Nanny."

Gu Shuang frowned. This damn girl really dared to say that. I could just tell you about my private vault, and you dare to use this as a bargaining chip to complain?

Huixiang looked sincere because she had indeed "seen" the evidence, but she just had no way to prove it.

A few days ago, she delivered something to Nanny Gu's room, but Nanny was not there. Huixiang saw what seemed to be an account book on the bedside.

So he bravely checked it and was shocked when he saw it: Huh? Why is the amount on it different from what the lady said? Could it be that the account book in the lady's hand is fake? Mrs. Gu was so bold that she dared to make false accounts to deceive the lady!

Huixiang didn't dare to stay for long, but she didn't dare to take the account book away either. She could only quietly write down a few numbers and leave.

"You said."

"I have seen an account book, and the numbers on it do not match the numbers you told me earlier."

It was not until this time that Gu's family really took it seriously. She knew that Madam Gu was embezzling money and lending money, and she condoned it, but if Madam Gu was cooking the books, she might not be able to tell.

"Where have you seen it before?"

"It was next to the pillow on the bed in Nanny Gu's room, but I don't know if it's still there now." What if Nanny Gu had destroyed it long ago? He couldn't be too sure about what he said.

Gu Shuang stood up and did not ask Huixiang to get it. Instead, he called the servants outside the yard and asked them to search the room.

She also knew that after this search, no matter what the outcome of the nanny's life was, her relationship with her would never be the same after she came back.

She is just angry!

I can accept any way you make money, as long as you tell me. Even if it is a murder, I can pretend not to see it.

But if you betray me, lie to me and harm me, then I will never tolerate you!

The servant was gone for a while and indeed brought back a book.

Gu didn't rush to get it, but asked first: "Where did you find it?"

"Madam, there is a mechanism in the floor tiles under the bed. We pried open four tiles before we could get it out."

Humph, good! It's so well hidden that it's somewhat believable even if it's not true!

"Bring it to me and see."

Gu only flipped through a few pages and immediately realized that this was definitely not the same thing as what she showed her!

"Bold!" Gu's heart was bleeding. Is this what it feels like to be deceived by your own people?

Huixiang quickly stood up, helped the lady sit down, and helped her tidy up the tassels on her hair.

"Madam, please don't get angry and get sick..."

Before he could finish his words, a report suddenly came from outside the door: "Madam! There is news from Jingzhao Prefecture that our Nanny Gu has been accused of murder and wife-stealing and has been imprisoned! Nanny Gu asked me to report back, please try to rescue her!"

"Ah?" Gu was still a little confused. The charge of murder was decided so quickly?

"The wife is not involved, right?" Huixiang asked outside with her neck stiff.

"No, Nanny Gu later insisted that Madam knew nothing about this matter, so Lord Shen never pursued the matter."

Although Gu Shuang was angry, she softened her heart after hearing this.

"You heard me. Even if she really cheated on me, I couldn't help but save her."

"Madam! This is a crime of murder, how can you save her? She should bear the consequences of her own mistakes, why bother getting involved in this mess!" That's right, if I save her, will she come and deal with me later?

"Shut up! Come in and tell me in detail what happened in Jingzhao Prefecture today!"

Gu Shuang listened to the servant's retelling, feeling panic in her heart. Xu Yixing was playing with the flower rope in the yard. The New Year was coming soon, and it was very boring, so he could only come here to kill time.

"Miss, do you think the account book Huixiang saw is real?"

"Of course it's true." If it was false, why would he let Ying Jiu search for it for half a day and then deliberately put it on the bed for her to see it?

"If the lady sees this, she will definitely not protect her anymore, right?"

"How is that possible? He will definitely save her." While basking in the sun, Xu Yixing took the rope from Siqin and started again. She was too bad at this and she would die within seven steps.

"Then our efforts have been in vain?" Siqin was very unhappy. After going through such a big circle, all she got in return was a sentence saying that they would definitely save her?
