After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

"You will find out if you call her over!"

After saying this, Li Qingwan strode to the armchair that only the mistress of the house could sit on and sat down. Seeing her so imposing, Su Xiaoyue began to have some ideas.

How could her sister be suppressed by Li Qingwan? No, she has to help her!

Sima Guling and the old woman looked at each other, "Sister-in-law, what did Xiuhe do wrong?"

"Ling'er, do you know where she is?"

"I……"

"Someone, go get Xiu He!"

Xiuhe is the personal maid in the old woman's room, and is of the same kind as Nanny Li. Now Nanny Li has been beaten with fifty boards by Li Qingwan and is half dead, but Xiuhe is still with the old woman. Before she had time to find any handle on Xiuhe, she didn't expect that she would come to her door herself.

Soon, Xiuhe came trembling with fear. As soon as she arrived, she felt the pressure from the mistress of the house, but she was smart and knelt down immediately, "Greetings, Madam!"

"Xiuhe is here, Qingwan, what do you want to see her for?"

The old woman still had some opinions about Li Qingwan. She had someone replace Li Ma, and she beat her so hard that she had to get out of bed. When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner. Today, she wanted to see what else Li Qingwan wanted to do.

"Since everyone is here, I'll just say it straight."

She slowly stood up, walked directly to Xiuhe, and then took out the double-sided brocade from her sleeve, "Xiuhe, do you know her?"

When Xiuhe saw the brocade, her face suddenly darkened, but she shook her head, "Madam, isn't this cloth?"

"Cloth?"

Li Qingwan laughed evilly, "Yes, this is cloth, and it's double-sided brocade!"

"Double-sided brocade? Qingwan, has our workshop woven it?"

"No, this is not made in our workshop. This is fabric from the Su family. In other words, the Su family has now mastered the method of making double-sided brocade!"

"Su family?"

"impossible!"

The old woman insisted that this was impossible, "Qingwan, mother personally handed the cloth to you, how could the Su family have it?"

"Sister-in-law, you wouldn't become friends with Madam Su and give her all the secret craftsmanship of our Sima family?"

"presumptuous!"

Li Qingwan shouted, "How is it possible, Ling'er, you don't need to use your smart brain to think about it. This is a secret craft of the Sima family. How could it be our mortal enemy?"

"Sister-in-law, can you explain what this cloth is about?"

Although Sima Guling didn't know what Li Qingwan wanted Xiuhe to do, now that the cloth had fallen into the hands of the Su family, things were troublesome. The Su family also mastered the manufacturing method, so their Sima family would have no advantage in the future. How could they occupy the cloth market?

"Qingwan, please explain yourself clearly!"

The old woman was angry, but Li Qingwan was calm. She glanced at Xiuhe coldly and said, "Mother, you should ask Xiuhe why she revealed our weaving secrets to the Su family?"

"what?"

Was it Xiuhe who did it?

The old woman immediately looked at Xiuhe. This was the girl who had been with her for more than ten years. How could she betray their Sima family?

"Xiu He, explain this to me!"

"Madam, calm down. Xiuhe is innocent. Xiuhe doesn't know anything about fabrics, and she doesn't know anyone from the Su family. How could she..."

"You don't admit it? Someone saw you draw the weaving process on paper and went to the Su family's housekeeper, and you got a hundred taels of silver. How can you quibble?"

"I don't have any!"

"Mother, Xiuhe had been eyeing this cloth before you gave it to me. Now I have found out that she was the one who betrayed us!"

"Madam, I didn't, I really..."

"No, you still dare to quibble in the face of evidence. Someone, go search her house. The hundred taels should not have been spent yet!"

Soon, Ah Qing took people to search the house, but Xiuhe was kneeling on the ground trembling, and the old woman was so angry that she almost couldn't stand.

"Xiuhe, you..."

"Qingwan, please don't slander Xiuhe. Xiuhe is the dowry girl your mother-in-law brought with her!"

"So what if she's just a dowry girl? In the face of profit, people can sell out their relatives, not to mention their own masters!"

"Sister, I don't believe Xiuhe would do this. Li Qingwan must have deliberately slandered her."

"I don't believe Xiuhe would do that. She's my aunt's..."

"In fact, I don't want to believe it either. After all, she is a girl brought by my mother-in-law, but what I found out is the truth!"

"Sister-in-law, could you be mistaken?"

Sima Guling always felt that Li Qingwan was deliberately targeting everyone in the Sima family. First, something happened to Nanny, and now, it was Xiuhe. If Xiuhe also got into trouble, there would be no one close to her aunt!

"I don't believe she did it, but the facts are before us."

"It's right in front of us, Li Qingwan. If you slander Xiuhe, I'm afraid you will have to replace the mistress of the house."

"Substitution?"

Li Qingwan laughed evilly, "Who does cousin want to choose as a wife for A Yue?"

Su Xiaoyue: “…”

"Okay, stop arguing!"

The old woman now has a splitting headache and she doesn’t know what’s going on. The headache comes and goes, making it impossible for her to live a normal life.

"Xiu He, you and I are master and servant. Tell me the truth. Did you do it?"

"Madam, it's really not me, it's Madam who slandered me!"

"How dare you be so stubborn even when death is imminent?"

"Ma'am, I found it!"

When Ah Qing brought people in from outside, she immediately looked at Li Qingwan, "Madam, the one hundred taels of silver has not been touched yet?"

When Xiu He saw that the one hundred taels of silver had really been found, she almost fell to the ground...

how come?

She did it so secretly, how could anyone find out?

"Mother-in-law, cousin, Ling'er, look at what this is. How could a maid like her get so much silver?"

"Xiu He, you are so bold!"

The old woman was so angry that she suddenly vomited blood, and spit it on the ground with a puff, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

"Old lady..."

"Why did you betray the Sima family and me?"

The old woman could not accept the betrayal of her subordinates and she was so angry that she vomited blood. When Li Qingwan saw her vomiting blood, she felt so relieved.

Old woman, can’t you bear this?

Li Qingwan had the old woman sent back, and Xiuhe admitted in the face of evidence that she did it. After this admission, Sima Guling and Su Xiaoyue, who had just pleaded for Xiuhe, immediately shut up.

Li Qingwan began to fight back, "Ling'er, do you believe it now?"

Sima Guling originally wanted to protect the maidservant beside her aunt. After all, in her opinion, this might be a trap set by Li Qingwan, but now...

"Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. Ling'er misunderstood you. I didn't expect Xiuhe to really do such a thing of betraying her master for fame and fortune!"

"Madam, what are you going to do with Xiuhe?"
