After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

Aunt Hong whispered to Yan Mingjue what happened a few days ago:

"Master, you know this servant."

"If I hadn't really received Madam's order, I would never dare to deduct anyone's share."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Yan Mingjue say:

"So, you mean that Madam deliberately harmed you?"

There was no emotion in Yan Mingjue's voice, but Aunt Hong had been with him for many years and knew that he was angry.

She was startled and quickly knelt down and said:

"The slaves dare not!"

"I have never thought of this."

"There must be a misunderstanding here. I only ask for justice."

"Otherwise, how will everyone in this mansion view me?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red:

"Mother was also framed and driven out of the house before."

"I don't want to end up like this."

Yan Mingjue looked down at Aunt Hong, and after a long while he said:

"I will check this myself."

"It's very humid this morning, you should go back and rest first."

After saying that, he walked towards the study.

Watching him leaving, Aunt Hong bit her lip unwillingly.

Zhou Shan had already been waiting outside the study door. When he saw Yan Mingjue approaching with a frosty face, his heart skipped a beat.

After entering, without waiting for Yan Mingjue to speak, he asked for punishment first.

"Master, please punish me."

He quickly told the story of the grudge between the two concubines, of course including the part involving Su Qingwan.

After listening to this, Yan Mingjue only asked one question:

"What about the maid?"

“Not yet.”

As Zhou Shan spoke, he was sweating all over, and the maid seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Do you think it has anything to do with the lady?"

Yan Mingjue's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armchair.

Zhou Shan shuddered all over. He didn't know why his master asked this question. Was he testing him or did he just want to hear his opinion?

After thinking for a while, he said carefully:

"I think it has nothing to do with Madam."

"Madam has been busy with the affairs of several shops recently. She goes out early and comes back late every day and is rarely at home."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Mingjue:

"She's rarely been home recently?"

Zhou Shan: “…Yes!”

He glanced at Yan Mingjue, somewhat confused about what this gentleman was thinking.

"continue!"

Yan Mingjue moved his fingers, and Zhou Shan said:

"Besides, I think Madam is too disdainful to do such a thing."

"Besides, with Madam's wisdom, if she really did such a thing, no one would notice it, let alone be splashed with dirty water."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Mingjue's expression.

He didn't know whether what he just said was in line with his master's wishes.

Yan Mingjue did not say a word. For a moment, the study was extremely quiet.

Zhou Shan's forehead was covered with more and more cold sweat. Fortunately, Yan Mingjue finally spoke at this time.

"What is the background of the servant that Madam bought?"

Zhou Shan didn't know why the topic changed so quickly, but he responded quickly:

"I checked with the servant and found that it was bought from the Madam's dental clinic. There is no problem with the source of the goods."

"I heard that he was drugged and brought here from far away. He is not from any family in the capital."

"But that servant is very difficult to discipline."

Speaking of this, Zhou Shan felt a headache.

That day, Su Qingwan brought the man back and only asked him to teach him the rules of the other party's house.

However, that person insisted on doing what he wanted and would not listen to anyone.

Because he is Su Qingwan's man, he can't use any tricks on him, resulting in that person still being idle in the mansion.

Yan Mingjue glanced at him and snorted:

"You are really going backwards as a housekeeper."

This means a rebuke.

Zhou Shan couldn't stand anymore and quickly knelt down.

"Where did Madam go yesterday?"

Yan Mingjue suddenly asked again.

He recalled Su Qingwan's gorgeous attire yesterday, and the faint fragrance on her body. He could vaguely smell some fruit wine, and it was obvious that she was going to a banquet.

He was a little curious about who could make her dress up like this.

Zhou Shan didn't know what Yan Mingjue was thinking, so he quickly said:

"Yesterday, Madam went to the Lotus Banquet at the Yongning Marquis's Mansion."

With a sound of "crack", Zhou Shan looked up and saw that the cup in Yan Mingjue's hand had cracked.
