The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

"You still say no? Look up!"

The Marquis roared, and Old Dong was frightened. He quickly raised his head, then quickly lowered it.

"Why don't you dare look at me! I don't believe that such a dirty thing would happen in this mansion. If there is, it's because you didn't discipline them strictly and didn't manage them properly!"

The Marquis widened his eyes like a cow and said to Yu.

Yu was confused, "My Lord, how can this be considered my fault?"

The Marquis said with his hands behind his back, "If you had discovered it earlier, you should have stopped it in time. Instead of waiting until it happened and suddenly catching the adultery."

"You deliberately allowed this to happen. Isn't this deliberately destroying the reputation of our mansion? You are hiding a sinister intention."

Yu never expected that the Marquis would have such an argument.

She felt like her brain couldn't keep up.

The Marquis continued with a straight face, "The entire Marquisate will prosper together and suffer together."

"It's the same with you, and it's the same with the concubines and servants under my command. If concubines and servants have such things, people will say that there is something wrong with our mansion and that the master doesn't know how to manage."

"What good will it do you to make such a fuss? I think it's just a frame-up."

"Where's Zhuzi? Why hasn't he been summoned yet?"

Yu lowered her head in depression.

Aunt Zhao came in from outside, and after paying her respects to Yu, she stood beside the Marquis and said, "The Marquis is absolutely right."

"If something bad happens to the master, people will say that there is something wrong with the family tradition. If something bad happens to the concubines and servants, people will say that they are not disciplined well and it is the master's fault. There are also bad-hearted people who put the blame on the marquis, saying that the person he chose is incompetent in managing the household, which makes it the marquis' fault again."

"If we had managed it earlier, or if we had discovered the signs and stopped the two from doing this, this scandal would not have happened."

"I'm not saying this is true. The master is the master, and the servant is the servant. As a servant, how dare I easily have thoughts about the prince's concubine, and she is his only favorite concubine. Is he going to die?"

Lin Qianqian didn't expect that Aunt Zhao would stand up and speak for herself, for a servant.

She was a little confused, as there wasn't much interaction between the two of them normally.

As she looked at the gentle and considerate Aunt Zhao in front of her, she suddenly understood why the Marquis favored her among his concubines.

She would try to figure out the Marquis's thoughts and speak in accordance with his words.

To put it bluntly, it is: opportunistic and flattering.

To put it nicely: high emotional intelligence, good at dealing with people, smart and clever.

The Marquis nodded to Aunt Zhao, "Yes, the housekeeper asked you to prevent this from happening. But what are you trying to control? You actually let such a scandal happen."

"I really have to doubt the management's ability, or are they deliberately making things difficult for me?"

"No matter how you look at it, Lin is an arrogant person. How could she fall in love with a servant? And even mess around with him?"

Lin Qianqian heard what the Marquis said.

Suddenly I had the feeling of appearing in the workplace.

In modern times, if nothing happens, it means good management. If something happens, it means improper management, and the manager will be called out by the leader and criticized.

Some leaders also said something similar to what the Lord said, "We hired you to manage the company, but if something like this can happen, what are you doing..."

Aunt Zhao hummed, "This Lin Shi really doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"Although she sometimes has no point, she is not so stupid as to bring someone into her room. Isn't she afraid that the prince will find out?"

"And even if she's not smart, the prince shouldn't be unaware of anything."

Aunt Zhao's words touched the heart of the Marquis. The Marquis smiled and patted her hands, nodding at her, "Yes, that's right."

Yu stared at the hand of the Marquis that was caressing Aunt Zhao and found it particularly irritating.

The Marquis asked again: "Where is Zhuzi? Why hasn't he come yet?"

A voice outside shouted, "Here comes the pillar."

Zhuzi knelt down in front of the Marquis and said, "My Lord, Lao Dong didn't drink and didn't tell anyone that he had paid off his gambling debts."

Zhuzi's mind was still filled with the image of someone coming to him and stuffing a large ingot of silver into his hand.

Lin Qianqian had guessed it long ago and remained calm, but Gu Zhaoke went crazy.

He stood up, grabbed the collar of the pillar, and shook his body angrily: "You lie! You lie!"

"When we were working together, I heard him say that he got a lot of money! How could a person like him who has nothing left have the money to buy such expensive wine!"

Zhuzi shook his head and pushed Gu Zhao away with disgust, "Stop making trouble."

"Uncle Dong is so nice to you, are you wrongly accusing him? Could he be bribed?"

Gu Zhao laughed, "How can a gambler not be bribed by money? How noble do you think his character is!"

The Marquis asked seriously, "Zhu Zi, if there is even a single lie in what you said, do you know the consequences?"

Zhuzi said calmly, "My Lord, I didn't tell a single lie."

Would he be afraid of being kicked out of the mansion?

He was not afraid, because the Crown Prince's wife said she would do her best to protect him.

"Xiao Zhao and Uncle Dong usually have some personal grudges. I guess he mistakenly thought that Uncle Dong disliked him."

These words completely minimized the big issue.

The event that was originally intended to uncover the mastermind behind the incident turned into a personal vendetta between two people, clearing Old Dong of suspicion and smearing Gu Zhao's name.

When Lin Qianqian saw this, she couldn't help but admire the heroine's cleverness.

There are hundreds of servants in this mansion, and almost all of them belong to the mistress.

And she was alone.

1 person vs 1 team.

How to win?

Every time she encounters this kind of situation, she especially wants to knock open the head of the female supporting character Lin Qianqian in the original story to see if there is grass inside? And take away the only prince who can protect her. Isn't this what the heroine wants to see most?

Gu Zhao said unwillingly, "Besides Zhuzi, there are two other people who can testify."

"By the way, Lord, Lao Dong accepted money from others. We will definitely find it if we search his room."

When the Marquis led his men to search, they turned up the quilt and searched under the bed, but found nothing.

The other two servants were also notified in advance and had the same opinion as Zhuzi.

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?"

Gu Zhao clenched his fist and smashed it hard against the wall, making a hole in it.

"I can't be wrong."

"They must have colluded in advance, or someone leaked the information and bribed the servants."

If someone hadn't spoken up for him, and if the Marquis hadn't believed in him, he would definitely not have been able to stay in this Marquis's mansion.

In the silent and deserted late night, the Marquis found Gu Zhao, and the two talked in a secluded corner of the backyard.

"You really didn't touch that Lin?"

"No."

The Marquis said, "Don't let a woman ruin your future. When you pass the imperial examination, what kind of woman will not throw herself at you?"

Gu Zhao nodded, "My Lord, I don't quite understand. Didn't you ask me to be your stepson? Why am I different from Gu Yuan and the others?"

Lord: "You are not different from them. I value you so much that I let you start as an unknown servant in the mansion."

"If you don't even have this little bit of patience, how are you going to inherit the great cause in the future?"
