The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 553: Regret for life
Chapter 553 Regret for Life
“Go back and see if there’s anything missing…” Bai Qingyan looked at the shirt in Chuntao’s hand, “Give me this shirt first!”
Chuntao bit her lip, stood up, handed her undershirt to Bai Qingyan, and left the upper room.
Dong Qingyue sat calmly on the mountain, without saying a word, and left everything to Bai Qingyan to handle.
Old Lady Dong understood what Bai Qingyan was planning, so she picked up the teacup in her hand and asked casually, “Since you said that this undershirt was left by Chuntao, then Chuntao has given you other tokens of love. It’s impossible that Chuntao has only been in our Dong Mansion for a few days… and has inexplicably reached the point where she can’t control her feelings with you.”
Luo Fugui said hurriedly, “I don’t have any other tokens of love, but Chuntao did say that she admired me and wanted to marry me. I didn’t dare to deceive Old Lady Dong. This undergarment was not dropped by Chuntao, but I was afraid that she would take advantage of me and deny it, so I hid it secretly.”
Cui sneered, “When the Princess came to Dengzhou, she only brought Chuntao, her personal maid, with her. Chuntao served her almost every day. I don’t know when Chuntao actually went to see you.”
Luo Fugui seemed to be waiting for someone to ask him when he met Chuntao, and said hurriedly: “It was August 20th. On that day, Princess Zhenguo went to Lord Dong’s study. Chuntao asked Qiuhuan to come and call me. When I arrived… Chuntao came up and seduced me.”
Nanny Wang’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if her niece had really done something with Luo Fugui to plot against the maidservants around Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan narrowed his eyes, Qiu Huan…
That day, Chuntao told Bai Qingyan Qiuhuan that she had been called by Nanny Wang, her grandmother’s side, and had tricked Chuntao into a remote place. She had also sent away the two maids who were following her, and had knelt down to apologize to Chuntao.
Bai Qingyan still held Chuntao’s undershirt in his hand, and said with a half-smile: “Then let’s ask Qiuhuan over here!”
Nanny Wang tightened her grip, and went out in person to call Qiuhuan, intending to warn her.
Aunt Luo, who was kneeling in the courtyard and feeling dizzy from the sun, saw Nanny Wang coming out from behind the curtains. She straightened her back immediately and said, “Nanny Wang!”
Nanny Wang walked out of the courtyard without even looking at Aunt Luo.
Soon, Nanny Wang found Qiu Huan who was looking out of the door of Old Lady Dong’s courtyard and hurriedly shouted, “Qiu Huan! Come here!”
When Qiu Huan saw Nanny Wang coming out with a pale face, she knew that Nanny Wang was looking for her, so she hurried forward and asked, “Aunt, is there a commotion in there?”
Nanny Wang grabbed Qiu Huan’s arm and pulled her aside, gritting her teeth and asking, “Tell me the truth, are you involved with that useless brother of Aunt Luo to plot against the personal maidservant of the Zhenguo Princess?”
Qiu Huan’s palms tightened, and she said guiltily, “No! How could I do that!”
“The Princess Zhenguo wants to summon you for questioning. You’d better behave yourself. Otherwise…if the Princess Zhenguo wants your life, I will never save you! Do you understand?” Nanny Wang warned solemnly.
Qiu Huan became more and more unsure, but then she thought, since Princess Zhenguo had called her to ask, she probably didn’t trust Chun Tao that much.
Especially now that Luo Fugui has announced that everyone in the Dong Mansion knows that Chuntao is Princess Zhenguo’s personal maid. If Chuntao does not marry Luo Fugui… even Princess Zhenguo’s reputation will be damaged!
Qiu Huan didn’t believe that Princess Zhenguo would disregard her own reputation for the sake of a maid!
Qiuhuan felt happy when she thought of Chuntao’s pitiful appearance in the future when she married Luo Fugui. She had always been arrogant in Dong’s house since she was a child, and no one had ever embarrassed her so much. She must make Chuntao regret it for the rest of her life.
“Madame Wang!” Dong Changlan called out when he saw Madame Wang and Qiuhuan.
Qiu Huan quickly turned around and stood beside Nanny Wang, and bowed to Dong Changlan and Dong Changmao together with Nanny Wang: “Eldest Master, Second Master!”
Dong Changmao saw his aunt kneeling under the scorching sun, his fists tightened slightly at his sides, his expression becoming more and more embarrassed, and he asked, “Madame Wang, what’s going on in there?”
“Luo Fugui said that it was Qiuhuan who helped to pass on the message that day, and the cousin is calling Qiuhuan in for questioning.” Nanny Wang said as she glared at Qiuhuan.
Dong Changlan’s eyes fell on Qiu Huan, who lowered her head and dared not raise it. “Chun Tao follows me around. I know exactly what kind of person she is. Qiu Huan… when you go in later, you must think carefully about what you say. If you say anything untrue, even if Nanny Wang is here, I will definitely sell you out. Do you understand?”
Dong Changlan’s voice was clear, and a chill slowly climbed up Qiuhuan’s back. She bowed quickly in response.
“Come in!” Dong Changlan turned around and patted Dong Changmao’s arm gently, then took the lead and walked inside.
Dong Changmao followed Dong Changlan into the courtyard of Old Lady Dong. Looking at his aunt who was crying so hard that her makeup was ruined, he clenched his fists at his sides.
“Changmao…” Aunt Luo burst into tears as soon as she saw Dong Changmao, shedding tears of grievance.
Dong Changmao hardened his heart and refused to look at Aunt Luo, and followed Dong Changlan into the upper room.
It’s not that Dong Changmao doesn’t appreciate the kindness that Aunt Luo gave him, but Aunt Luo has always helped Luo Fugui without any principles over the years. Dong Changmao has said it many times… Aunt Luo always says that she will not help him anymore, but she still helps him without any bottom line every time.
That’s not all. Luo Fugui bullied the villagers everywhere and claimed that he was Dong Changmao’s uncle. Dong Changmao also covered up for Luo Fugui, so Dong Changmao was often ridiculed outside.
This time, Luo Fugui even dared to set his sights on Princess Zhenguo’s personal maid. I don’t know what role Aunt Luo played in this. If Aunt Luo was also involved, then Dong Changmao would be completely disappointed in Aunt Luo.
Dong Changlan, Dong Changmao and Nanny Wang brought Qiuhuan in first, and Chuntao came back with her things right after.
Chun Tao knelt at Bai Qingyan’s feet and choked up, “Miss, I also lost a pair of earrings that you gave me, and a jade pendant that my cousin gave me!”
The jade pendant was given to Chuntao by Chen Qingsheng on her birthday. It was of excellent quality. Chuntao was afraid that it would be too ostentatious, so she put it in her purse. She only took it out to look at it when she missed Chen Qingsheng, but she didn’t dare to carry it with her. Unexpectedly, it disappeared.
Qiuhuan’s palms tightened and her throat churned. She had stolen the jade pendant and earrings and took them back, and had not yet had time to give them away in exchange for silver.
“I have seen that jade pendant. It is of excellent quality. It is not surprising that such a good thing is coveted by others!” Bai Qingyan looked at Nanny Wang, “Madame Wang, Qingyan trusts you, so please ask you to go to Qiuhuan’s room and check if Chuntao’s jade pendant and earrings are in Qiuhuan’s room. Nanny Wang is Qiuhuan’s aunt, so I don’t think she will frame Qiuhuan.”
