The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Chapter 57 World 2: Hoi An Snitch

Not long after the two returned to the Marquis' Mansion from Prince Rong's Mansion, Xiao Cele was summoned into the palace by the Emperor.

Just as Wu Li was boredly looking through the account books of the Marquis' Mansion, Hui An, who was standing beside her, said with a frown, "Madam, there is something I want to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it." Wu Li continued to flip through the account book in his hand without raising his head.

"Today when we were at Prince Rong's mansion, the way Prince Rong's staff looked at you was...! If the Marquis knew about this..." Hui'an carefully observed Wuli's expression.

"Hmm?" Wu Li stopped what he was doing, looked up at Hui An, and jokingly said, "Why? Is it that my natural beauty shouldn't be taken a second longer?"

"That's not what I meant, ma'am. It's just...it's just that the aide's eyes are really not right, and I'm worried that he has some intentions towards you." Hui'an hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, what kind of trouble can a mere staff member stir up?" Wu Li sneered, "I am upright and honest, and I am not afraid of anyone coveting me."

"But..." Hui An hesitated, "If he really has any feelings for you, it will probably cause you a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry, Hui'an, I know what I'm doing." Wu Li put down the account book and stood up. "Besides, I believe the Marquis will not easily believe those rumors."

After much hesitation, Hui An finally said, "Please punish me, Madam!"

"What have you done to offend me? Stand up and answer." Wu Li looked at Hui'an who was kneeling on the ground, put down the account book in his hand, and said softly.

"When I left, I saw that staff member secretly handing silver to Dong Fan."

Hearing this, Wu Li frowned: "Did you see it clearly?"

Hui'an nodded: "My lady, it is absolutely true!"

Anger flashed in Wu Li's eyes. "How dare you accept bribes right under my nose! Bring me that servant named Dong Fan immediately!"

The servant beside him quickly took the order and left.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do after I pay you the money?" Wu Li asked coldly.

Dong Fan, upon hearing Wu Li's words, trembled all over and slowly stood up. He replied tremblingly, "Madam, this servant...this servant dare not hide anything from you!"

She knew that this man must have done something wrong, but she still wanted to hear him admit it himself.

Wu Li frowned, feeling a little impatient. She patted the table lightly and said sternly, "Tell me, what happened?"

Dong Fan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down again and said in a trembling voice, "When we were at Prince Rong's mansion, the aide gave me a silver ingot and asked me to record the lady's diet and daily life and tell him every detail. He also said that there would be a generous reward later."

After saying this, Dong Fan's whole body trembled, his face lost all color, and he instantly turned as pale as paper. A dense layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

He was filled with regret. He should not have concealed the truth earlier. Now that his master had discovered him, he knew he had made a big mistake. If he did not confess, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, his legs began to weaken and he almost couldn't stand.

"How dare you!" Wu Li shouted angrily, "Do you know how great a sin you have committed?"

Dong Fan kowtowed repeatedly, "Madam, please spare me, please spare me! I was blinded by evil and accepted the silver. Please give me one more chance, I will never do it again!"

Wu Li pondered for a moment, "Well, considering this is your first offense, I'll forgive you this time. If there's a next time, I won't let you off easily!"

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!" Dong Fan burst into tears of gratitude.

"But..." Wu Li changed the subject, "Since you have accepted money from them, you naturally have to do things for them. If Prince Rong's staff wants to know about my every move, just tell them."

"Ah?" Dong Fan was stunned for a moment, then he understood. "I understand. I'll do it right away!"

Wu Li's lips curled up slightly, and she had something in mind. She wanted to see what Prince Rong was planning.

"Madam, it's better to be careful," Hui'an said. "After all, you can only see a person's face but not his heart."

"I understand." Wu Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention. By the way, don't tell the Marquis about what happened today."

"Yes, ma'am," Hui'an responded.

Wu Li thought to herself that she had to find an opportunity to test the aide's abilities. If he really had any ill intentions, she would be rude.

"However, since Madam already knows all these things, what should we do next?" Hui'an looked at Wuli, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

"I want to observe the other party's actions first to see if there is anything unusual. If they really want to harm me, I will take corresponding measures." Wu Li said calmly, without any sign of tension on his face.

"Well, that's fine. Madam is really smart." Hui'an nodded in agreement, then stood up and prepared to leave the room with the servants.

"Wait!" Just as Hui'an walked to the door, Wuli suddenly called him.

"Madam, is there anything else?" Hui'an turned around and looked at Wuli with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Thank you for telling me these things." Wu Li said softly, with sincerity in his voice.

Hui'an smiled slightly and shook his head: "Madam, you're welcome. This is what I should do." After that, he opened the door and left the room.

Wu Li was the only one left in the room. She sat quietly in the chair, thinking about her next plan of action.

the other side.

"Huian, you actually complained!" Dong Fan glared at Huian fiercely, "I think you don't want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore!"

Hui'an spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm doing this for my wife's safety."

"Don't bring up my wife!" Dong Fan shouted angrily, "It's obviously you who's trying to take credit for it!"

"I don't have such thoughts," Hui'an argued. "Besides, I'm only following my wife's orders."

Dong Fan knew he was in the wrong, but he was unwilling to accept it. "Then you can't just report me to the Madam!"

Hui An smiled and said, "I'm helping you. If the lady finds out, you'll end up in a much bigger situation."

Dong Fan was shocked. He knew Hui An had a point. "Forget it this time. If you need anything next time, please discuss it with me first."

Hui'an nodded, "I understand. By the way, my wife asked you to do what the staff member asked. What are you going to do?"

Dong Fan scratched his head. "What else can I do? I can only do as I'm told."

"That's good." Hui'an patted Dongfan's shoulder. "But you still have to be careful and don't reveal any flaws."

Dong Fan nodded and turned to leave. He secretly groaned inwardly. This was really troublesome. He had to obey his wife's orders, but he couldn't offend the staff. It was not easy to survive in this difficult situation.
