I just want to rob you of your luck

When Zhou saw Lin Jiuer and Wu Gang together, a sinister look flashed in her eyes.

"Someone, come here! Capture this little bitch and her old lover, take them back and interrogate them thoroughly. When the Marquis comes, we can make the final decision!"

Lin Jiuer was speechless. She guessed that Zhou had already sent people to keep an eye on Haitang Courtyard. She didn't expect that she would wait for such a big news today.

Fortunately, she sent A Kuan to report to the Marquis just now, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.

Several maids and servants rushed up and tried to tie up Lin Jiuer and Wu Gang.

Wu Gang didn't expect this to happen. He quickly explained, "Madam, you are mistaken. I just came here to pay back the money."

A maid opened the bundle on the table and saw a pair of women's embroidered shoes inside in addition to five taels of silver.

Zhou smiled sinisterly: "Do you need to give gifts to pay back the money? Do you still dare to say that you two are not having an affair?"

Before Wu Gang could explain, a servant stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth.

Lin Jiuer originally wanted to resist, but thinking that this was also an opportunity, she pretended to be panicked and surrendered.

When she was being escorted to the woodshed, she saw Xia Liu behind the crowd.

She looked like she was gloating, and Lin Jiuer suddenly understood.

It turned out that there was a villain at work, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that the original owner had not contacted Wu Gang for a long time.

As a result, he was caught red-handed as soon as he showed up today.

Lin Jiuer sneered in her heart. Xia Liu was in a difficult situation herself and yet she still had the mood to harm her. Okay, then she didn't mind sending her off early.

Yu'er and Qiao'er were so scared that they stood in the corner. After discussing for a while, they told Agui to go and inform the Marquis.

Several people were already familiar with the situation in the Marquis' Mansion, and had also heard that the master and the mistress were not getting along.

This was clearly a false accusation, and they could only seek help from the Marquis.

Agui trotted to the Marquis' study and happened to meet Akuan who was walking back. He told him what happened, and the two of them hurried back to ask Jiang Cheng for help.

Jiang Cheng has been very busy these days, handling official business. He couldn't help but smile when he heard A Kuan's report just now.

I thought that I should go see my little concubine today.

I planned to finish the official business at hand as soon as possible and go to Haitangyuan, but I saw Akuan and Agui coming back in a panic.

"My Lord, it's bad. My Lady has just brought people to arrest the Master and her fellow villagers."

Jiang Cheng's face darkened: "What's going on?"

Agui saw the whole process and quickly told the Marquis what had happened.

"The master even specially found a pavilion in the courtyard to meet Wu Gang. We were all nearby at the time, just to avoid any misunderstanding.

Who knew that the Marquis' wife would come here so quickly and tie up the master and Wu Gang and take them away without any explanation? Please, Lord Marquis, save the master, please?"

Jiang Cheng didn't expect that even after he found a nanny from the palace to teach Zhou the rules, she was still able to find trouble.

He stood up and said, "You go back to Haitang Courtyard first, I'll go over to take a look. Don't worry, your master will be fine."

A Kuan and A Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Marquis and Master Lin were both very nice to them, so they naturally didn't want anything to happen to Lin Jiuer. Otherwise, if she fell into the hands of the Marquis's wife in the future, she would definitely have a bad ending.

In the main courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Jiuer and Wu Gang were escorted and kneeling in the courtyard.

Zhou and Deng were sitting in the shade nearby.

Wu Gang had been beaten with a stick by people arranged by Zhou, but he always insisted that he was just paying back the money to Lin Jiuer.

There is no personal relationship between me and Lin Jiuer.

This made Lin Jiuer somewhat grateful to him. If he were someone with a weak will, he would probably have been forced into confessing after being beaten with the stick.

Lin Jiuer is now the Marquis' concubine, so Zhou naturally doesn't dare to torture her casually, so she was more ruthless towards Wu Gang, hoping to use him as a breakthrough point.

Nanny Rong beside her shook her head secretly. All she had seen in the palace were high-level palace fights, so she naturally saw the essence of the matter at a glance.

This Zhou was really confused. Marquis Dingyuan asked her to teach him the rules, which obviously annoyed the marquis' wife. Yet she dared to frame the concubine so blatantly.

This will only push the Marquis further away.

But she only came to the Marquis' Mansion to teach the rules, so naturally she would not interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

Lin Jiuer looked at Wu Gang with a bit of sympathy, but today's incident was caused by him, so she would find a way to compensate Wu Gang later.

At this moment, a low, angry voice was heard: "Madam, why don't you learn the rules properly? What are you doing?"

When Zhou heard Jiang Cheng's voice, her face lit up with joy and she quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"My Lord, this Lin dared to meet with her old lover in broad daylight, and I caught her red-handed."

Jiang Cheng glanced at the two people in the yard. Fortunately, Lin Jiuer was just kneeling on the ground with her hands tied.

A man next to him was beaten and lying on the ground, covered in blood.

He frowned and looked at Lin Jiuer: "Is he the fellow villager you told me about today?"

Lin Jiuer knew it was time to show off her acting skills, and she burst into tears.

"My Lord, I am about to be wrongly accused to death by my Madam. This person is from the same hometown as me, Wu Gang, the groom of your mansion.

Wu Gang's mother has always taken good care of me. When she was sick, I lent her the silver she had saved to Wu Gang for his medical treatment. Now that Mrs. Wu has recovered, she specially made a pair of embroidered shoes for me as a thank you, and also returned five taels of silver to me.

I have never had an affair with Wu Gang. I don't know why Madam suddenly came and arrested both of us without any reason, and even tortured Wu Gang to extract a confession.

My Lord, can Madam slander others and take human life so easily? Please, my Lord, help me and Wu Gang!"

Lin Jiuer spoke with tears in her eyes, every word was precious and true.

Zhou was stunned. What did this mean? Did the Marquis know about Lin Jiuer's meeting with Wu Gang?

She looked at her daughter-in-law. Deng's face was pale. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

She looked at Xia Liu beside her again, lowered her voice and asked through gritted teeth: "Bitch, didn't you swear that Lin Jiuer and Wu Gang had an affair? Why don't you come out and testify!"

Xia Liu was trembling all over, knowing that she was finished this time. If she couldn't prove the affair between the two men today, she would be dead.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Jiuer, you are lying. You and Wu Gang have had a secret relationship for a long time. Now that you have climbed up to the high position of the Marquis, you have turned your back on him?"

Lin Jiuer was speechless. Seeing that Jiang Cheng had been moved by her and was about to speak, this little bitch Xia Liu had to step out and interfere?

Jiang Cheng glanced at Xia Liu coldly: "Who are you?"

Zhou's eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "She is the prince's maidservant. She and Lin Jiuer were both my maids. She grew up with Lin Jiuer and knows her best."

"Xia Liu, please tell the Marquis everything, how did Lin Jiuer and Wu Gang get together?"

Jiang Cheng stared at Xia Liu with his sharp eyes: "Think carefully before you speak. If you tell a lie, I will not let you off easily!"

Lin Jiuer took the opportunity to use the control talisman on Xia Liu.

Everyone saw Xia Liu tremble with fear at the Marquis' words, and suddenly knelt down and said:

"I was jealous that Lin Jiuer was the Marquis's concubine, while I could only be the Crown Prince's maid, so I was jealous and deliberately framed her."
