The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much
Chapter 74 Confusion
"It was Madam, it was Madam, it was Madam who sent us here to keep an eye on you."
Chu Xiao looked up and down at the little maid and found that she was really different from the little maid just now.
"Spy on me? Spy on me for what?" Chu Ci continued to ask.
The little maid glanced at Chu Ci and didn't dare to say anything else.
Chu Ci slammed her palm on the table. "If you don't tell me that I will hand you over to my mother right away, then let's see if my mother will still protect you."
The little maid crawled in front of Chu Ci, hugged Chu Ci's calf and began to explain, "Miss, Miss, please don't hand me over to Madam. Madam really just asked us to monitor you. I don't know anything else."
Chu Ci pointed outside at the tree and asked, "Why is that person there?"
The little maid shook her head. "I don't know either. I still think that little maid has betrayed Madam. I want to take a sneak peek and report to Madam when I come back."
Chu Ci observed carefully and thought that maybe this little maid really didn't know.
Qiuyue asked doubtfully, "Master, what does this lady mean? She sent in several maids, but why are their duties so different?"
Chu Ci knocked on the tea table next to him and fell into deep thought.
In the blink of an eye, she raised her head. "Or maybe, those were all smokescreens. Maybe they were just scapegoats, trying to confuse the audience. The real protagonist is the one digging the dirt."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the big tree. He pointed to the place he had just been at and said, "You two should dig this up. I want to see what surprise she has prepared for me."
Qiuyue went to find a small shovel, and the two of them quickly dug up the soil again, revealing a relatively valuable wooden box inside.
Qiuyue dug the box out of the soil and held it in her hand.
She glanced at Chu Ci and slowly opened the box. Suddenly, a little doll with silver needles stuck all over its body was lying in the wooden box.
"Ah!" Qiuyue screamed. The frightened Qiuyue threw the wooden box in her hand directly to the ground. The two little maids took several steps back in fear, their faces turned ashen. Only Chuci was still watching calmly.
The little baby was wearing a snow-white satin dress with an unknown birthday written on its body with a pen, and blood was all over its facial features.
Chu Ci carefully looked at the birthday on the doll and thought about it. It was her father whom she rarely saw. Since it was his, there was no need to change it.
Chu Ci took the rag doll and threw it back into the wooden box. "Qiuyue, close the box and bury it. As for the follow-up."
Chu Ci looked at the little maid, "You have to testify for me when the time comes, otherwise--" Chu Ci threatened.
The little maidservant subconsciously knelt down and shook her head anxiously at Chu Ci, "No, Master, I really can't."
Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your family is in her hands?"
The little maid still shook her head, "No, it's my brother. Madam promised to give me a hundred taels of silver to treat my brother."
"What disease does your brother have?"
The little maid bowed her head and cried bitterly, "It's a hereditary disease, Miss. I don't know if I will get this disease, and I don't know how long I have left. Miss, I'm sorry."
"I took my brother to many doctors and spent all my money, but none of them could help him. Until we came to Huichuntang, they said they could cure him, but the cost was huge. Miss, I really have no other choice."
Chu Ci glanced at Qiu Yue. Qiu Yue helped the little maid to stand up. Chu Ci said, "Alright."
She took out a jade pendant and handed it to Qiuyue. "Tomorrow, find an opportunity to take her to see her family off. We can stay at Huichun Hall for treatment. Find the manager and tell him I told you to do it. Remember not to come out. It would be bad if someone spots you."
"Master! Thank you, Master. Your kindness is great. I will do my best to serve you." The little maid said with tears streaming down her face.
She was not stupid. She knew that the lady was lying to her. As for her brother's illness, she had no intention of treating him. But she had no other choice. This was her only hope. Now, the master sent him directly to Huichun Hall, and he would definitely be cured.
The next day, Qiuyue found an opportunity to send her maid away early in the morning. They did it very well and no one knew about it.
At lunch time, Chu Ci was just thinking about what to eat when she saw a large group of people pouring into her yard.
Chu Ci looked at them coldly, but finally came.
She stood up, straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, walked into the yard, and bowed to greet her. "Chu Ci greets mother. I wonder what brings you to my yard today?"
Li looked at Chu Ci, slowly took a step forward, walked in front of Chu Ci, raised her hand and slapped him. The slap was extremely loud, as if Li had vented all her recent anger in this one slap.
Qiuyue stepped forward to stop them, but was stopped by Mu Qiran with a look. From the current perspective, she was the mother and she was the daughter. No matter what she said, she was not in the right. If Qiuyue took action, she might not be able to save herself.
"I don't know why my mother beat me." Chu Ci covered his face and looked at Li with a wronged look.
"How dare you curse your father, you unfilial little bastard."
When Li said this, Chu Ci's father, the Marquis who had not been seen for many years, also appeared.
"What are you doing?" He looked at the crowd standing in front of him with a puzzled look. He had just finished dealing with some matters after leaving the court when he was called over and was told that something very important had been discovered.
Li Shi seemed to have found someone to back her up. She threw herself into the arms of Pingyang Hou and started cursing at Chu Ci, "Master, it's all that little bitch's fault. A few days ago, I knew her courtyard was short of people, so I found her a few maids to serve her."
"But after only two days with the little maid, she came to me and said she had discovered some witchcraft and had buried it under this big tree."
Marquis Pingyang glanced at Chu Ci, then looked at the soil which was obviously a different color from other places. It was obvious that this place had just been dug.
Marquis Pingyang glanced at the servant beside him and motioned him to go forward and dig it up.
When the servant dug it open, a wooden box appeared in front of everyone.
When Li saw the wooden box, her eyes lit up. She didn't believe that Chu Ci could get away with it after this incident.
Marquis Pingyang glanced at Chu Ci, took the wooden box, slowly opened it, and when he saw the rag doll with bleeding facial features, he subconsciously threw it away.
Marquis Pingyang opened his eyes wide and looked at the doll lying on the ground. He could even feel immense fear.
His body was stiff, and he looked at Chu Ci with wide eyes, pointing at the doll on the ground. He could be felt trembling all over as he spoke, "Are you crazy? If this gets out, the entire Chu family will be buried with it."
