Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Chen Shao looked at the two of them coldly for a moment before he said, "Get up and talk."

The two refused to get up and continued crying and shouting those words.

Chan Yi was so angry that she wanted to go forward to pull the two people, but Chen Shao stretched out his hand to stop her and said calmly: "Since you like to talk on your knees, then tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Wang Su knelt on the ground several times as if she was mutilating herself, and cried, "We were originally daughters of a good family, but our brothers were bewitched by Master Luo, and we were abducted and sold to that beast Luo Zhengxin. We thought that this would be our life, but Master rescued us from that beast Luo Zhengxin, and even found servants to serve us. He also asked Miss Chanyi to treat us, and after we recovered, he even asked Miss Quan to find a place for us. We will never forget your kindness, and we only hope to repay you in the next life by working like slaves."

As he said this, he kowtowed vigorously several times.

Xu Chengmei followed suit and kowtowed several times.

Listening to the people around her praising Chen Shao, Wang Su cried even harder: "But you don't know, Miss Quan, Miss Quan..."

Chen Shao cooperated and asked, "What happened to Miss Quan?"

Wang Su burst into tears and said, "Miss Quan has been following the instructions of the adults and taking care of us with all her heart. But no matter how hard she tries, she can't stop the instigation of people with ulterior motives. The adults clearly told Miss Quan to arrange a good place for us to ensure that we have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives, but Zheng Hua took advantage of the fact that we are not as good at making silk flowers as she is, and secretly instigated Miss Quan to assign us to another place. Miss Quan didn't listen to her instigation, and she secretly instigated Mr. Luo to say something in front of Miss Quan. As a result, Miss Quan also took it to heart. When arranging our place this time, she completely ignored the instructions of the adults and our pleadings, and forcibly arranged us in Jinxiufang."

As he spoke, he fell to the ground and burst into tears.

After Xu Chengmei kowtowed at the right time, she continued, "We originally thought that Jinxiufang was also very good. As long as we worked hard, we would be able to make it one day. But Zheng Hua didn't want to let us go. She relied on Miss Quan's trust in her and secretly used Miss Quan's name to not only instruct the manager of Jinxiufang to make things difficult for us, but also wanted to drive us out. It would be fine if only we suffered, but we really don't want the master to be deceived by a villain like her, nor do we want the master's reputation to be ruined by a villain like her!"

Listening to the excited people, Xu Chengmei fell to the ground with satisfaction, crying.

However, they cried for a long time, but did not receive any order from Chen Shao to arrest Zheng Hua, and did not even hear her speak.

Both of them raised their heads in confusion and looked secretly at Chen Shao.

Seeing that Chen Shao was also looking at them, she hurriedly fell back to the ground.

Chen Shao raised his lips slightly and said slowly: "I have never told Miss Quan to arrange a good place for you to live that will ensure you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Wang Su and Xu Chengmei looked up suddenly.

Chen Shao continued: "I just asked her to arrange a place for you. As for whether you can stay, it all depends on your own ability. In addition, I did ask a few aunts to take care of you, but they are not servants. They just pity you and follow your will. They don't bother with you about big and small things. And Zheng Hua... Before I saved you, I promised Erya that I would find her a master who can make silk flowers. When I asked Miss Quan to do this for me, she happened to know that Zheng Hua could make silk flowers, so she recommended her to me. After I saw the silk flowers made by Zheng Hua and specially examined her character, I let Erya worship her as my master. As for the matter of sending you to Jinxiufang, it was also my arrangement."

Wang Su's face turned pale and he said, "No, impossible, impossible!"

Chen Shao looked straight into her eyes and said coldly, "I arranged for you to stay in the east wing of Chengfeng Courtyard because I was saddened by your experience. Do you think that after I arranged for a few aunts to take care of you, I will ignore you?"

Xu Chengmei collapsed on the ground in fear, his face looking deathly pale.

Wang Su still struggled and said, "It is absolutely true that Zheng Hua and Mr. Luo instigated Miss Quan. Not only did I hear it with my own ears, but Xu Chengmei also heard it with her own ears!"

Chen Shao sneered twice: "If you say that Zheng Hua instigated Miss Quan, I have never been with her day and night, so I can still believe you a little. You said Master Luo... There are many corpses in those gardens, and even the reason why you two ended up like this is all his fault. I let him live, just because he still has some value. In other words, his fate was determined as early as when he abducted the first boy or girl. Miss Quan can work with me, and the reason I admire her, in addition to her outstanding ability, is that she knows my bottom line very well. You said that Master Luo instigated her, but he just instigated her to arrange a bad place for you. What did Master Luo ask for? Isn't it enough to ask him to die quickly? What did Miss Quan ask for? She asked that she was living too happily now and wanted to go back to suffer again?"

Chan Yi said coldly: "Girl, why bother talking so much nonsense with them!"

Chen Shao calmly glanced at the two people, then at the people around him, and said slowly, "I don't want to waste time talking to them, but they deliberately chose this time and place to stop us and appeal for justice. They just want to instigate the uncles, aunties, and aunties who are not aware of the situation to join them in a common hatred and frame Miss Quan and Zheng Hua. Naturally, I have to explain everything clearly so that the uncles, aunties, and aunties will no longer be deceived by them!"

Having been hit on the target, Wang Su could no longer hold back and began to cry and beg for mercy.

When the people around them learned that they had been cheated, they became even more indignant, but this time the target changed from Quan Shuyu, Zheng Hua and Luo Ye to the two of them.

Chen Shao let them vent for a while before he waved his hands to ask them to be quiet. He then looked at the two of them coldly and asked, "Tell me, who instructed you to use Master Luo to frame Miss Quan?"

Wang Su and Xu Chengmei, who were still begging for mercy, stopped crying instantly. Wang Su even screamed immediately, "It was the steward of the Ren family. He ordered us to do this. He said that if we stop the road to redress our grievances and say that Mr. Luo and Miss Quan were secretly colluding, he would give us 100 taels of silver each. We were bewitched by him. Yes, we were bewitched by him to risk our lives and make mistakes. We already know we were wrong. We will definitely do our best and be obedient in the future. Please spare our lives, sir. Please spare our lives!"

Xu Chengmei also came back to his senses and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, it was the steward of the Ren family. He was the one who said that there were too many people in Huimin Pharmacy and asked us to come here to complain. He was also the one who said that as long as we involved Master Luo, the adults would definitely believe us!"
