The childe's attitude was gentle, and even his words seemed to be unintentional. However, he had revealed the most important part of the matter.
In an instant, both Steward Qin and the servant girl, who had accused them of stealing, darkened their faces.
The Young Master looked at the two of them thoughtfully, but a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"Since it's her one-sided story, you only kidnapped my servant. I don't know if this is your way of doing things, or the Gong family's way of treating guests. "
Steward Qin frowned. Now, he not only resented this person for being a busybody, but also wondered why the useless servant girl was so careless.
But soon, he thought of a solution.
He calmed himself down and spoke very politely.
"This is all my fault, and I've embarrassed myself in front of you. In fact, I just want to bring the two ladies to be interrogated. You're right, to catch a thief, one must catch the stolen goods. At this moment, I won't cover up for anyone. Men, bring the servant girl to be interrogated. I wonder if you'll allow this? "
Steward Qin was quick-witted. Seeing that he had blocked the childe's words, he was about to bring the servant girl away, but the childe blocked their way with a smile.
"In this case, all the more reason for me to go and have a look. After all, it's possible that I'm not strict enough. If it's really my servant who did this, I'll have to apologize to Lord Tu. "
Seeing that this person did not know how to appreciate favors and was not willing to give him any face, Steward Qin came up with some sinister ideas.
But on the surface, he was still very respectful to the childe.
"Are you worried about the Gong family, young master?"
"Yes, why would I think so? In fact, it's because we're used to indulging them. If I'm not here, I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything out of them. "
Lin Mengya secretly raised her eyebrows. Why did this person's words seem to have a deeper meaning?
Although it was not clear whether he was a friend or a foe, he seemed to be unscrupulous. She was afraid that Steward Qin would not be able to deal with him.
It seemed that she should take the opportunity to leave.
"There's no need to trouble Young Master. As long as you hand her over to me, I'll make her tell the truth!"
Seeing that Steward Qin was about to use force, she, who had kept her head down, suddenly rushed to her young master's side and sat on the ground. She tugged at her young master's clothes and cried loudly.
"Young Master! This servant is not going! They're probably coveting this servant's beauty, and once this servant goes, I'm afraid I'll lose my chastity! "
As she cried, she purposely winked at him.
At that moment, both Butler Qin and the young master were dumbfounded.
What was this all about? Where did this come from?
"Young Master, if it wasn't for the fact that they wanted to harm this servant, why would they disregard your face and refuse to release her? This servant knows that it is this servant's fault for being too beautiful, but what can this servant do? Do I have to be judged guilty just because I'm too beautiful? "
Uh …
Even someone as powerful as that young master couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times.
This was a little different from what he knew. Could it be that he had encountered a fake?
At this moment, Butler Qin subconsciously denied it.
"I'm not, I'm not, she's lying!"
Speaking of Lin Mengya's face today, although it wasn't very beautiful, she had cried without caring about her image just now, and her facial features were all wrinkled and ugly.
Coupled with her words just now, even that young master couldn't stand it anymore.
This pot was too heavy, wasn't it?
"Young Master, I don't want to!"
She clutched her chest tightly, as if she was afraid of being violated by others.
That emotion was so real that even Butler Qin's companions looked at Butler Qin, who was "worse than a beast", with condemning eyes.
"I …"
"You're still denying it! If you didn't have such unbearable thoughts about me, why did you hold on to me so tightly? "
Lin Mengya took advantage of the chaos and questioned loudly.
This time, Steward Qin received even more looks of disdain towards his aesthetics.
It was as if he had suddenly become a lecher who would do anything for beauty.
Moreover, that "beauty" was really full of snot and tears, and he was as ugly as he could be.
As a man, he could not be doubted about his ability, but he could never be doubted about his taste.
At that moment, his head heated up, and the words that he hid the deepest part of his heart blurted out.
"That's because I want to hold on to you to claim credit! I don't like you, so you should just give up on this idea! "
"Oh! All of you heard it, right? He wants to hold on to me to claim credit. Let me ask you, apart from that maid, no one else knew about the incident of losing the bracelet. What kind of credit do you want by holding on to me? "
She grasped the right opportunity and instantly made Steward Qin reveal a flaw.
Butler Qin's expression changed slightly. Only now did he realize that he had fallen into her trap.
What was done could not be undone. He wanted to explain, but the more he tried, the more he made things worse.
So he simply shut his mouth, but his face became increasingly gloomy. The way he looked at her was like a bone-scraping steel knife, which was frighteningly sharp.
Unfortunately, neither Lin Mengya nor that young master was afraid of him anymore.
Lin Mengya patted the dirt off her dress, grabbed the hem of that young master's clothes and stood up, not caring that the expensive material had become wrinkled.
"Young master, you've heard it. He wants to hold on to us to claim credit. I think it's better for us to speak in front of Master Tu, so that we can make a clean break. Otherwise, someone might want to pin those groundless charges on me. "
She spoke word by word, as if the person who made a scene and rolled on the ground was not her at all.
Butler Qin secretly clenched his fists. How could he not know that if he continued to make a mistake and alarmed Master Tu, his future would be ruined?
However, he was very unwilling to give up. If it were not for the woman's dirty tricks, he would not have fallen into her trap.
It was not easy to get such a good opportunity, and he would never let go of the woman who had ruined his plans.
After thinking for a while, he changed his expression.
"This is all a misunderstanding. I was anxious just now, so I spoke nonsense. Please forgive me, young master. "
"Well said, well said. Since it's a misunderstanding, the truth should be out now, right? I have no right to interfere in the affairs of your mansion. But can my maid … "
Steward Qin was unwilling, but he had no choice but to relent.
"You can take her away. But I don't think it's necessary to alarm everyone, right? "
The young master was a sensible man. He squinted his eyes and smiled like a spring breeze.
"Of course. After all, this is the Gong Family's banquet. I understand that guests should follow the host's wishes. "
"In that case, young master, please take them away."
Butler Qin hid his hatred in his heart and squinted his eyes. As long as they were left alone, he would definitely take revenge.
The young master nodded and was about to leave with his maid when he heard a scream from behind.
"Don't leave! They stole Miss's bracelet, we can't just leave like this! "
The maid panicked.
Gong Wu had lost her temper today and broken many things in the room, so she had the chance to enter the room to tidy it up.
Because of a moment of greed, she narrowed her eyes and took one of Gong Wu's jade bracelets.
But when she calmed down, she thought of Gong Wu's and Nanny Song's methods of conditioning people, and fear filled her heart.
She was an inferior maid, and Lin Mengwu's subordinates were strict. She was afraid that she would not have a chance to sneak in.
If Gong Wu found out, she would be in danger.
Therefore, she thought of framing them.
It was also because of a coincidence that she came up with a plan after seeing these two unfamiliar faces.
But now, if they left, wouldn't the matter of stealing the bracelet be exposed?
To save her life, she could not let them leave like this.
Butler Qin, who had just missed the opportunity, felt anger burning in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that this lowly maid was useless, he wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation.
His anger grew, and he raised his leg, viciously aiming it at the servant girl who still didn't know whether she was dead or alive.
With a "puff" sound, the maid couldn't bear the force and spat out a mouthful of blood. She was knocked against the wall behind her.
Her head was bleeding, and she collapsed to the ground. Soon, she stopped breathing.
The surrounding people were all stunned. No one expected that Steward Qin would kill a servant girl with one kick.
"What are you looking at? Get to work!"
He stared at the surrounding people coldly, and the frozen crowd instantly dispersed.
Only the childe, Lin Mengya, and Xiu remained calm.
The blood also eased the anger in Butler Qin's heart a little.
He once again put on his usual smile, but this time, there was a hint of malice that could not be concealed in it.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. The banquet outside is very lively. Please take a seat, Master."
Butler Qin had thought that the childe would at least show some fear or disgust.
But he didn't expect that from the beginning to the end, he looked as if it was none of his business.
Butler Qin gradually restrained the hostility in his heart. He was very clear that those who could come here were not simple people.
"Butler Qin is really a talent, but it's a pity. I won't hold you up. Let's go. "
Lin Mengya pulled Xiu and walked in the direction of the outer court.
Although they didn't care about life and death, it was a human life after all.
No matter how calm they looked, they were touched in their hearts.
"Did I scare you?"
The three of them walked for a long time. When they were sure that the people behind couldn't see or hear them, the childe asked.
It was just that this time, there was less cynicism and alienation, which was more in line with their relationship as strangers.
"I'm fine."
"I thought you wouldn't be afraid."
The man turned his head, and there was some disdain in his eyes.
Lin Mengya didn't get angry. She just patted Xiu's hand and told her not to be afraid.
