The Regent's Tender Darling

Perhaps what Xuemei said worked, Ping'er began to raise her head little by little, and then lowered her head in fear after taking a look at Lin Jiaojiao.

"My slave... my beloved... my beloved is in trouble..." Ping'er's tone was still trembling, and she finally gritted her teeth and said in one breath: "My slave didn't want my beloved to be beaten to death, so I stole the money from the house!"

After the words fell, Ping'er directly knocked her head on the ground and said: "I know my mistake, and I am willing to be punished."

"The one you love?" Lin Jiaojiao asked, glancing at Chen Luo who was holding her hands tightly next to her, and she immediately noticed the clue.

She didn't want to expose anything, and said to Ping'er: "Tell me, why does your beloved want you to spend so much money to save him?"

"I have a sweetheart who is a scholar. His brother ran away because of gambling debts. He couldn't even pass this year's imperial examination. He paid off the debt every day but couldn't pay it off. Those people said they would beat him to death if he didn't pay back the money." I couldn't bear it, so I made this move..."

Ping'er kept talking one sentence at a time, and it seemed to make sense, and it didn't look like she was just making it up on the spot.

How true is this story? How fake is it? It was hard to tell for a while.

Ping'er's mood gradually calmed down, and after saying this, she felt much better.

She took this crime on behalf of her girl, and the worst she could do was die. But her girl would never admit it. Once she admitted it, she would be beaten, and Mr. Ma would not be able to survive.

Mr. Ma is dead, and her girl will not be able to survive.

Chen Luo stared at Ping'er's trembling back, as if his heart was being pierced by the tip of a knife. Ping'er was trying to save her face at this moment, but she... didn't dare to admit what she had done.

She had been threatening to be brave every day, but now she was afraid. Once she admitted it, Brother Ma was afraid that she wouldn't be able to save her...

But Ping'er was her best sister, how could she bear to watch Ping'er being punished for her sake?

I was in a dilemma for a while and couldn't find a good solution.

"What about the money? Did it all go to your beloved?" Lin Jiaojiao continued to ask.

Ping'er nodded like a fool, but she was afraid that the princess would go to Mr. Ma for trouble, so she quickly said: "I gave him all the money, but he was a heartless man. He took the money and left Hangzhou."

"Leaved Hangzhou?" Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but chuckle and asked: "Since you have left Hangzhou, why are you still stealing money today?"

"My slave..." Ping'er panicked for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "My slave is angry and wants to steal some money so that I can go find him."

At this time, Qingtao came back. After coming in, she subdued herself to Lin Jiaojiao and Chen Luo, and said with a straight face: "The slaves have searched Ping'er's room. There is nothing special."

"Yes." Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly, continued to look at Ping'er, and said: "Since you have given away the money, I, the princess, have no way to get it back. The slave who stole the master's money should be killed. "

"Thank you, Princess." Ping'er kowtowed to Lin Jiaojiao again, with no intention of defending herself.

Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh and looked at Chen Luo. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Luo Luo, this is your maid, but she made such a big mistake. You are also responsible. The princess will punish you for counting the boards for Ping'er." Well, it can stop when the person dies."

"Third sister..." Chen Luo's hands were shaking badly, his eyes were moist, and his face was filled with fear.
