[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life
Chapter 144 The culprit
"You are slandering me!" Xiao Huan pointed at Liu Qing and cried, shaking all over, "Butler Liu, how can you put all the blame on me just to save your own life?
"I am just a second-class maid in the mansion! Not even a head maid, how can I be worthy of you becoming the housekeeper!?
"What's more, my life was given to me by the Fourth Madam. I have been so grateful to her that I can't even wait to repay her. How could I turn around and repay her with hatred by asking you to deal with her and the people around her?"
As she spoke, Xiao Huan knelt down in front of Rong Enqing, kowtowed, looked at Rong Enqing with a wronged face and said, "Madam, I have always remembered what you said to me. After I moved to this house with the Fourth Madam, I have always been loyal to her and never disobeyed her. The Second Miss and the Fourth Master can testify to this! Please understand, Madam!"
Looking at Xiaohuan's aggrieved and pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, Rong Enqing suddenly understood what a white lotus was.
Rong En glanced at Xiao Huan calmly, and before he could say anything, Er Yue suddenly walked over to Xiao Huan and knelt down, saying firmly, "Madam, I can vouch for Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan will never do anything to let down the Fourth Madam. She will certainly not do anything to the Fourth Master and the Second Miss."
Rong Enqing's eyes were slightly cold, and he frowned and looked at Er Yue, "Do you know what you are doing?"
Not only did he follow Steward Li and others from the Marquis' Mansion without her permission, but he was also pleading for Xiaohuan in front of so many people.
She was her maid! Not only did she not help her out, but she was also actively causing trouble for her!
These are not the key points. The key point is that the chaos in the Yun Mansion today is obviously caused by Xiaohuan. As her eldest maid, Eryue has no ability to distinguish right from wrong and can only act on emotion.
If she remembered correctly, when the Marquis' Mansion held a flower banquet, Xiao Rong and Yun Hai broke their promise at the last minute and were unable to go to the Marquis' Mansion to help. She had asked Er Yue to come here in person to inquire about the reason.
As a result, the tone of her reply was full of accusations against Xiao Rong and sympathy for Xiao Huan.
At that time, she felt that what Er Yue said seemed a little inappropriate. But at that time, she was mainly angry at the behavior of the fourth room and the couple who did not consider the overall situation, and did not pay attention to the details about the fourth room and Xiao Huan.
If she had paid more attention to the affairs of the fourth room at that time, perhaps the situation would not have turned out like this.
"Madam, Xiaohuan and I entered the mansion together. After so many years, I think I know Xiaohuan well enough. In my opinion, Xiaohuan has always been a simple and kind girl. I believe that she would never do the things that Butler Liu said."
Er Yue kowtowed to Rong Enqing and begged, "Madam, please consider my loyalty and dedication to you and believe me and Xiao Huan. She is really not a bad person!"
"Are you done?" Rong Enqing glanced at Er Yue coldly, "When you're done, stand aside."
"Madam..." Eryue wanted to say something, but Xiaohuan, who was kneeling beside her, quickly tugged at her clothes, shook her head at her, and whispered with tears in her eyes: "Eryue, don't beg for me. Don't let Madam hate you because of me. You have worked hard to become a first-class maid beside Madam, and good days are still to come. Don't worry about me."
After Xiaohuan's considerate words, Eryue became even more determined to plead for her.
"No, I must help you today!" Er Yue resolutely pulled Xiao Huan's hand off, looked at Rong Enqing with a resolute expression and said, "Madam, I beg you!"
Then he began to kowtow to Rong Enqing, one, two, three...
In the blink of an eye, he kowtowed more than a dozen times.
Rong Enqing's face turned pale.
When she was jointly forced by the Second House, Jiang Family, and the elders of the Yun Family, Er Yue was able to keep her original intention and not be bribed by the Second House, and she was loyal to her.
But now, Eryue is forcing her like this for Xiaohuan, who is obviously not a good person, and for her so-called sisterly love!
"Er Yue, what are you doing? Do you really want to embarrass the Madam for an irrelevant person? You are the Madam's personal maid! How can you put the Madam's reputation aside by doing this?"
Seeing Rong Enqing's face becoming increasingly ugly, Xiu Zhang hurriedly walked to Er Yue and reached out to pull her, but Er Yue fiercely shook her hand away.
"I know what I'm doing! You don't need to meddle in my business!" Er Yue didn't appreciate it at all. She continued to kowtow and shouted stubbornly: "Madam, Xiao Huan is innocent! Please believe me!"
Seeing Er Yue's stubbornness, Rong Enqing suddenly smiled. She waved her hand and said to Xiu Zhang, "Xiu Zhang, step aside. This is none of your business. Don't interfere."
Xiu Zhang looked helpless, agreed respectfully, and stepped aside.
Rong Enqing then looked at Eryue, her eyes full of disappointment. If it weren't for Xiu Zhang, she would have let Eryue take over Meixiang's position after she got married. Unfortunately...
"February, I'm giving you one last chance, just stand aside."
His tone was cold and his eyes were sharp. This was Rong Enqing's last chance for Er Yue. Should he choose her or should he choose Xiao Huan stubbornly?
"I don't!" Er Yue gave her answer, "Madam, Xiao Huan is really innocent!"
"Oh, really?" Rong Enqing's tone returned to calm. "Since you are determined to plead for your good sister, then kowtow a hundred times first. Let me see your determination. Remember, it's kowtow! Otherwise, it won't count!"
Rong Enqing emphasized the word "kowtow", and it was obvious that he wanted Er Yue to kowtow hard, to death.
How can you make a sound if you don't knock your head hard? How can you say that you are making a sound if you don't knock your head hard?
The floor beneath my knees is made of bluestone tiles. If I bang my head a few times so loud that people can hear it, my head will definitely be broken and bloody! A hundred times... even a hundred times would kill me!
Er Yue, who was still kowtowing, froze after hearing Rong Enqing's words, and looked up at Rong Enqing in disbelief. Seeing her calm expression, which didn't seem like she was joking at all, her heart immediately sank to the bottom.
"Ma'am, Madam..."
She looked at Rong Enqing with a trembling voice, her expression slowly changing from disbelief to grief, anger and unwillingness.
"Why, you can't do it?" Rong Enqing sneered, "I thought your sisterly love was so strong, but it seems that it's just this good."
At this moment, Xiaohuan on the side suddenly pulled Eryue, and then quickly moved to stand in front of Eryue.
"Madam, please don't force Er Yue. It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I kowtow to you on behalf of Er Yue!"
As he spoke, he knocked his hands heavily on the bluestone ground with "bang bang bang".
After a few hits, blood started flowing from Xiaohuan's forehead.
Rong Enqing's eyes darkened. She thought that appearance was Xiao Huan's weapon to provoke Xiao Rong's sensitive nerves, and was also the culprit for stirring up trouble between Yun Hai and Xiao Rong. However, looking at Xiao Huan, it seemed that she didn't care at all whether her appearance would be disfigured!
Er Yue came to his senses and quickly grabbed Xiao Huan, then without saying anything, he began to kowtow loudly, one louder than the other. After several kowtows, blood appeared on Er Yue's forehead.
