As soon as Aunt Hong said this, the room suddenly became quiet.

Su Qingwan's heart skipped a beat. She had never expected that the fire would burn her like this.

"I ordered it. When did it happen?"

Seeing that Su Qingwan actually refused to admit it, Aunt Hong's eyes widened:

"Madam, half a month ago, you asked your maid to tell me."

"You are Aunt Huang, because she made a mistake last time, and I only locked her up for a few days. It's not a warning, so let me take good care of her."

Su Qingwan: “…”

Even the sound of breathing around me weakened.

All the maids and old women lowered their heads and dared not look at Su Qingwan, but no one knew what they were thinking.

Aunt Huang also looked at Su Qingwan in disbelief.

She had originally asked Su Qingwan to make the decision today, but she didn't expect that it was the Madam who asked people to do so.

Su Qingwan looked at Aunt Huang, then at Aunt Hong, and then at Zhou Shan, not knowing what she was thinking.

"You said that the maid beside me asked you to do this. Can you point it out?"

Miaohua and Qinshu are both here today, and she wants to see what Aunt Hong will say.

Aunt Hong looked at Qinshu and Miaohua and shook her head: "It's not them."

"It's the girl named Xiaoman in Madam's yard."

Xiaoman?

Su Qingwan had some impression that Qinshu and Miaohua were injured and had not been around to serve her for a few days, so she brought a few maids from the yard to serve her.

Later, when Miaohua and Qinshu came back, she didn't pay attention to where those maids went.

When Qinshu heard Xiaoman's name, he quickly said:

"Xiao Man asked for leave three days ago and went home, saying that his mother was seriously ill."

She was in charge of the maids in the yard. When Xiaoman came to her for help, she felt sorry for her and granted her leave. Who would have known that such a trouble would arise.

After hearing this, is there anything Su Qingwan doesn’t understand?

This is a trap, a trap for her!

During this period, the harem was peaceful, and she thought that after what happened with Concubine Liu, the concubines had all behaved themselves.

Now it seems that she was too naive!

This time, who is it?

Su Qingwan thought about the concubines one by one in her mind, and finally looked at Aunt Huang and Aunt Hong.

Although these two people are involved in the case, it cannot be said that they are completely free of suspicion.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Aunt Hong became a little anxious:

"lady?"

What does it mean?

If something goes wrong, are you going to push her out as a shield?

Su Qingwan ignored her and turned her gaze to Zhou Shan.

"Butler Zhou, is Xiaoman's indenture still available?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Zhou Shan responded quickly.

He had never expected things to turn out like this.

He knew that Aunt Hong was somewhat critical of Aunt Huang, but he did not take these little things to heart. He never thought that it would cause trouble today.

It just so happens that the master is not in the capital these days. I guess that person knows this, so he chose this time to attack.

"Find Xiaoman first!"

After Su Qingwan gave Zhou Shan her instructions, she looked at Aunt Hong and Aunt Huang:

"You get up first. After the matter is thoroughly investigated, I will give you a fair judgment on the right and wrong."

"Butler Zhou, make up for Aunt Huang's share of this month's allowance."

After the situation calmed down, Su Qingwan returned to her own yard.

After returning, Qinshu knelt directly in front of Su Qingwan:

"Miss, I made a mistake. Please punish me."

After arriving at the Yan Mansion, the young lady handed over a courtyard of maids and old women to her for management. Now that something like this has happened, she naturally cannot escape responsibility.

"Get up first!"

Su Qingwan was in deep thought.

It was obvious that this matter had been planned for a long time, and that person also knew how to choose someone, and the person he chose happened to be Aunt Hong.

Thinking of Aunt Hong's suspicious eyes just now, Su Qingwan frowned slightly.

At this time, Aunt Hong was probably thinking that this was a show she staged herself as a means to suppress them.

Or maybe she wasn't the only one who felt this way, others felt the same way.

Su Qingwan's guess was correct. Several concubines in the mansion were gathering in groups of three or four at this time.

Aunt Hong was naturally with Aunt Qin. She bit her lip and said:

“Sister Qin, you said before that the Madam is generous!”

"You are still too naive."

"Women from these aristocratic families always appear generous on the surface, but they have many tricks up their sleeves."

"I was also confused. I actually believed her words."

Aunt Hong's words were full of resentment towards Su Qingwan. Aunt Qin frowned slightly when she heard them:

"I'm afraid there's something else going on here! Someone is trying to sow discord between the lady and us!"

"It's better not to jump to conclusions, sister!"

She was trying to give advice, but Aunt Hong wouldn't listen at that moment.

She thought to herself that she would have a good talk with the adults about this matter when they came back.
