After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

After Liu Dan finished speaking, she muttered under her breath, "It must be because she doesn't treat her maids very well, that's why people exposed her!"

After saying that, realizing something, she quickly looked at Lin Hao, her expression anxious: "Madam, this servant didn't mean that!"

Lin Hao waved her hand dismissively: "It's okay, I know."

She wasn't a particularly sensitive person; she didn't overthink things. Being a servant was already difficult enough; having a sensitive and suspicious master on top of that would be the death of her!

"Go on, what happened next?" She turned her attention back to the original topic.

"Later, Boss Liu discovered that the adulterer was none other than his trusted butler, and he was so angry that he fainted!" Liu Dan's attention was indeed diverted, and she began to speak with great interest again.

Lin Hao felt a little sorry for this Boss Liu. Being betrayed by both his beloved concubine and his trusted housekeeper was truly too tragic!

However, if Boss Liu falls, won't the Liu family be thrown into chaos? Thinking this, Lin Hao asked the question.

"That's right. As soon as Boss Liu fainted, everyone panicked. Even the adulterer tried to escape! There was no other way but for Madam Liu to step in and take charge. She settled Boss Liu down and imprisoned all the culprits!"

At this point, Liu Dan sighed, "I never expected that in the end it would be the honest Madam Liu who had to take the blame!"

“They might not necessarily be honest!” Fu Cui interjected from the side.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Liu Dan was taken aback.

Fu Cui explained her opinion in detail: "Think about it, everyone was terrified in that situation. If someone were truly honest, they would definitely be even more so! But Madam Liu stepped forward before anyone could react, which shows that she is shrewd and capable. How could she be an honest person?"

"That's right! If it were me, I would have been stunned. I wouldn't have been able to react so quickly! So, Madam Liu was pretending to be weak to take advantage of the situation!" Liu Dan's eyes widened, clearly shocked!

"It's probably true!" Fu Cui nodded confidently.

"Madam, what do you think?" Liu Dan looked at Lin Hao, wondering if she was the only one who couldn't see through Madam Liu's scheming.

"I also think Fu Cui makes a good point!"

In emergencies, a person's true character is revealed. Madam Liu's resourcefulness was something that the honest person she usually appeared to be would not possess.

"So it turns out I'm the only one who's this stupid!" Liu Dan smacked her head in frustration, sighing repeatedly.

Lin Hao was speechless. Was her question just now meant to see if she was as stupid as her?

Looking at the expressions of the master and servant, Fu Cui couldn't help but smile.

Lin Hao decided not to argue with Liu Dan and instead asked, "Then how did these things get out?"

"Oh, this seems to have been spread by the servants. Their servants aren't as well-behaved as ours; news travels really fast!" Liu Dan guessed, she hadn't really noticed this.

"Madam, do you think it might be something Madam Liu did on purpose?" Fu Cui asked, looking at Lin Hao.

“It’s not impossible!” Lin Hao agreed.

With Madam Liu's wit, it wouldn't be difficult for her to give an order for the servants to shut up!

But judging from the current flurry of rumors, either someone is stirring things up, or it's something Madam Liu did intentionally.

They didn't know the actual situation, but it wasn't really their problem, and Lin Hao didn't want to delve into it.

However, Liu Dan's next words made her shudder!
