Chapter 15 Aunt Liu is wronged
Seeing that the stone she threw did not stir up any waves, Aunt Li lowered her head unwillingly. Aunt Liu was too slippery. If this continued, when would she be able to replace her and be the manager of the kitchen?
Just as Aunt Li was feeling down, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Cui busy in the corner. Xiao Cui was a newcomer to the kitchen, and had always been unknown. Aunt Li came up with a plan and decided to start with Xiao Cui.
She walked over to Xiao Cui and asked with pretended concern, "Xiao Cui, are you used to being here? Is there anything I can help you with?" Xiao Cui was flattered and quickly said, "Thank you, Aunt Li. I'm fine."
Aunt Li smiled and lowered her voice, "Actually, I've always been optimistic about you. If you can do me a small favor, I can guarantee that you'll get more opportunities in the kitchen."
Xiao Cui's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she asked, "What's the matter?"
Aunt Li leaned close to Xiao Cui's ear and whispered her plan...
The open and secret struggles in the kitchen continued. Cui'er came back with a lunch box. As soon as she came back, she told Meng Kexin everything that happened in the kitchen.
"Miss, Chun Xing, who is beside the Madam, went to the kitchen to show off again today and scolded Aunt Liu."
Meng Kexin frowned slightly when she heard this. She had known for a long time that the people on her second aunt's side often bullied others, but she didn't expect them to go so far.
"It seems I have to find an opportunity to teach Chun Xing a lesson." Meng Kexin thought secretly.
She glanced at Cui'er and instructed, "If you encounter this kind of thing again, ignore them and just come back and tell me. You can take the food in first."
Cui'er nodded and turned to go into the room.
Meng Kexin recalled the times when Aunt Liu and Cui'er had protected her from the wind and rain. She remembered that Aunt Liu had once contradicted the Second Madam because of her and was punished by not being allowed to eat for three days.
Another time, Meng Keqing was looking for trouble and bullying Meng Kexin. Cui'er was so angry that she talked back to Meng Keqing. Then she was punished to go to the lake to wash clothes for the whole family in the middle of winter. Cui'er's hands were frozen and swollen.
……
The more Meng Kexin thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. It seemed that her plan really had to be brought forward.
As for Aunt Liu, Xiao Cui, under the instruction of Aunt Li, secretly hid some ingredients in Aunt Liu's cabinet, and then pretended to have discovered the lost ingredients and shouted loudly.
The other servants rushed over after hearing the noise. Xiao Cui pointed at Aunt Liu's cabinet and said, "Look, I found the missing ingredients here. Aunt Liu must have stolen them!"
Aunt Liu was stunned by this sudden accusation. She quickly defended herself, "I didn't steal it. I was working in the kitchen the whole time and never left."
But Xiao Cui refused to give in and insisted that it was Aunt Liu who stole her money.
Aunt Liu's face showed an expression of grievance and helplessness, tears flashed in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly. She tried to explain again, but Xiao Cui didn't listen at all, just kept blaming and scolding.
People around began to gather around. They looked at Aunt Liu and Xiao Cui with expressions of confusion and bewilderment on their faces.
Some people began to whisper, while others pointed and talked. Aunt Liu felt that her dignity was greatly hurt. Her face turned pale and her body began to tremble.
At this moment, Aunt Li came over. She looked at Xiao Cui and said calmly, "Do you have any evidence to prove that Aunt Liu stole your money?"
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, then said, "I had a stomach upset today and kept needing to go to the bathroom. You were all busy at the time, and when I came back from the bathroom, I saw Aunt Liu stuffing things into her cabinet. I couldn't bear to see Aunt Liu take away things from the mansion like that, so I told her."
Aunt Li pressed on, "Xiao Cui, can you guarantee that what you said is true? If Madam finds out you're lying, the consequences won't be something you can bear!"
Xiao Cui couldn't help but shudder, but she said with a firm look in her eyes, "I swear, everything I said is true. I dare to testify in front of the lady."
After saying this, Aunt Li looked at Aunt Liu with pride and said, "Liu Guihua, you usually look quite honest, but I didn't expect you to dare to steal things from the mansion. Let's go and see the lady!"
Aunt Liu's face turned pale when she heard this. She said with trembling lips, "I...I didn't steal anything. This is slander!"
Aunt Li sneered, "Slander? Do you think I would wrongly accuse you for no reason? Last night I saw you come out of the storeroom with a package in your hand. If that's not stealing, what is it?"
Aunt Liu hurriedly explained, "Those are the clothes I made for my son. My son is sick, and I wanted to make him a new piece of clothing."
Aunt Li said disdainfully, "What does your son's illness have to do with me? You stole it, so don't try to argue!"
Aunt Liu sighed helplessly: "I really didn't steal anything. You can ask the storekeeper. He can prove my innocence."
What Aunt Liu didn't know was that the current manager of the mansion was the Second Madam's brother. He had already colluded with the Second Madam and was determined to find a way to drive Aunt Liu out of the mansion, and then find a way to get rid of Meng Kexin. Then the General's Mansion would belong to the Second Madam's world.
Aunt Li thought about it and felt that what Aunt Liu said made sense, so she decided to go to the warehouse with Aunt Liu to find the manager.
Arriving at the warehouse, the steward saw Aunt Li and Aunt Liu and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Aunt Li pointed at Aunt Liu and said, "She stole things from the mansion. Arrest her now!"
The steward looked at Aunt Liu, then at Aunt Li, and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Aunt Li recounted what she had seen last night. The steward frowned as he listened, "A package was indeed lost from the warehouse last night. Could it really have been stolen by Liu Guihua?"
Aunt Li was delighted when she heard this: "It must be her!" I saw her coming out of the warehouse.
Aunt Liu really had no way to defend herself at this moment. It was like yellow mud falling into her crotch. It was shit if not shit.
As the group arrived at Second Madam Lan Meiling's place, she asked a few simple questions before sternly shouting, "Liu Guihua, I trusted you and gave you the kitchen to manage, and this is how you repay me? Come on! Drag this traitor away, give him 50 lashes, and then kick him out of the house."
The guards outside the door rushed into the room, grabbed Aunt Liu and dragged her out. Aunt Liu quickly said, "Madam, please investigate. I am innocent. I didn't steal anything!"
But in her heart she was crying out, "Madam, I'm so sorry for not taking good care of the young lady. I have no face to see you again!"
