Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The old housekeeper smiled and changed the subject, looking at Caiwei, whose cheeks were red from crying: "After all, this girl committed the crime of stealing and behaved uncleanly."

The word "stealing" gave Wan Shufang a headache, but seeing Caiwei was about to beg again, she waved her hand and said, "I'll go talk to my father. Caiwei, come with me."

"Yes, thank you, Second Miss!" After successfully staying, Caiwei burst into tears and kowtowed to Wan Shufang several times before standing up and following her timidly.

Looking at the two people walking away, the housekeeper shook his head, but still said nothing and went directly to the main courtyard to report. At this time, Wan Shufang also brought Caiwei back to her own courtyard.

Looking at the little girl's timid expression, she sighed and said calmly, "From now on, you will be responsible for the flowers and plants in the yard and live in the yard next to mine."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Caiwei was very obedient and bowed obediently. After receiving the errand, she was about to go out to work, but was suddenly stopped by Wan Shufang: "Wait a moment."

She paused, her heart instantly flustered. She turned around and knelt on the ground. Seeing her kneeling, Wan Shufang did not stop her. She opened her red lips and said, "Caiwei, let me ask you, why did you steal?"

"You know, if you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to explain to my father."

Hearing this, Caiwei panicked a little, her delicate lips reddened from biting. She clutched her sleeves tightly, thought again and again, and then slowly let go: "Miss, this servant...this servant has his own difficulties."

"My mother is sick, and my salary isn't enough for her medical treatment. The doctor said she'll die if she doesn't get treatment, so I have no choice but to...steal."

The word "steal" seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She stretched out her hand and secretly wiped away her tears: "Mother needs medicine and still needs me to earn money. I dare not lose this job."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wan Shufang understood instantly, that's why she begged the housekeeper to take her in in public, just so that she could continue to stay in the Su Mansion and earn a monthly salary.

Wan Shufang felt sorry for Caiwei's filial piety, and quickly stood up and helped her up.

"I'm just asking. Don't worry. Here's some money. Take it and use it to pay for your mother's medical treatment." As she said that, she stuffed a bag of change into Caiwei's wallet.

Feeling the weight of the bag, Caiwei looked terrified and refused to accept it: "Miss, how can this be allowed? I cannot accept it."

"Take it. Tell me when you need money next time. Don't take it from the mansion again, or you'll be caught and it will be difficult for me to rescue you."

Wan Shufang used some strength and placed the purse steadily in Caiwei's arms.

Caiwei was deeply moved by her determined eyes. Perhaps thinking of Wan Shufang's bad situation in the Su Mansion, she accepted the purse.

Her knees softened and she knelt down again, thanking her: "Thank you very much, Second Miss. I will never forget your kindness."

"From now on, I will do anything for you, even at the cost of my life..."

"Okay, okay, you're always risking your life. How can I be that dangerous?" Wan Shufang waved her hand, interrupting her before she finished speaking, and helped the person up.

Looking at her own face in the bronze mirror, Wan Shufang suddenly became curious and asked, "Caiwei, you grew up with me, so you should know me best. What kind of person was I in the past, and what did I like?"

Hearing this, Caiwei paused and lowered her head slightly to hide the complex emotions in her eyes. Although she had doubts in her heart, she did not say anything, but just answered her doubts.

"Although the young lady had a strange temper before, she was also very kind. Her favorite thing was corn cakes."

"She likes to be alone, doesn't want to talk to people, and rarely goes to family gatherings." Caiwei said as she looked at Wan Shufang's expression and saw that she looked completely clueless.

She was even more confused and didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing her stop, Wan Shufang was tired of listening and sighed deeply: "What a strange person. By the way, Caiwei, isn't your mother sick?"

"It would be difficult for you to take care of her outside. I will send someone to bring her into the mansion. Once you finish your errand, you can take care of her."

Hearing this, Caiwei's eyes lit up, and all her doubts were thrown behind her, leaving only gratitude.

"Thank you, miss!"

"Go ahead, work quickly, and don't let anyone catch you with something."

After saying that, Caiwei hesitated and finally left the room. After she left, Wan Shufang asked someone to pick up Caiwei's mother, while she went to talk to Su's father and left Caiwei behind.

A long quarrel broke out in the main courtyard, but in the end, Su's father could not persuade Wan Shufang, so he chose to give in and drove her out of the main courtyard in a rage.

Back in her own courtyard, Caiwei's mother was also brought in. Seeing her mother safe, Caiwei was very excited. She looked at Wan Shufang, suddenly moved closer and lowered her voice and said, "Miss, you have to be careful of the master."

This incoherent sentence made Wan Shufang frown and waved her hand to send others away.

"Caiwei, do you know something?"

"Miss, the master..." Caiwei paused, and when she saw that no one was around, she continued, "The master was originally left-handed, but now he's suddenly free. We servants didn't dare to say anything."

"My lady is kind-hearted. I told you this because I didn't want you to be in danger for no reason. I wanted you to take precautions against the master in advance."

These words stirred up a storm in Wan Shufang's heart. Doubt flashed in her eyes. After pondering for a long time, she looked at Caiwei and asked, "Could it be that the current Father Su is a fake?"

"Miss." Caiwei nodded and didn't say much, but it was more than a thousand words. Now, Wan Shufang could hardly hide the shock in her heart.

She murmured and took several steps back, which scared Caiwei so much that she quickly supported her.

"Miss, you need to cheer up. Besides, the current master and his men are all spies planted by the eldest prince in various places. I guess they are trying to seize power and gather the powerful."

"Is this true?" Wan Shufang suddenly raised her voice. Seeing Caiwei's fear, she quickly suppressed her emotions and said, "Caiwei, how did you know all this?"

Caiwei was just a maid, and logically, she wouldn't be exposed to such deep-level political secrets.

Hearing this, Caiwei smiled embarrassedly, scratched the back of her head and said, "This servant... This servant eavesdropped."

After she finished speaking, Wan Shufang did not ask any more questions. At this moment, she became more suspicious that Su Qingqing's body in the secret room was also related to the eldest prince.

It is even possible that Su Qingqing was killed by the eldest prince.

But no matter how many guesses she had, Wan Shufang did not dare to jump to conclusions because she had no evidence. She continued to talk about the details with Caiwei. After they chatted for a long time, Wan Shufang sent Caiwei away.

It was late and she lay in bed, tossing and turning.

"The eldest prince, could he be the one who manipulated all this and killed Su Qingqing?"

She was murmuring when suddenly there was a strange noise outside the window. Then, the window that was originally closed suddenly opened and the wind rushed into the room.
