Chapter 59 She dared not

Xu Yuan narrowed her eyes and asked Chun'er meaningfully, "Chun'er, what do you think I should know?"

Chun'er was a little unsure about Xu Yuan's ambiguous attitude. If the lady knew about Lu Rou's existence, why didn't she hide it since there were no outsiders here?

If she said she didn't know, what was the purpose of her move today? Could it be that she was deliberately testing herself?

For this reason, Chun'er became more cautious, "Madam, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"Really don't know?"

"Chun'er, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

Xu Yuan's words made Chun'er's heart skip a beat.

Cui Liu stood up at this time and said to Chun'er, "Chun'er, do you think the lady doesn't know where you have been during this period? The woman's surname is obviously Lu. What is your intention in colluding with her to cause trouble in the Marquis' Mansion and making a rumor that a concubine is going to enter the mansion!"

"Miss, in my opinion, this kind of maid who betrays her should be sold as soon as possible to avoid bringing trouble to our Marquis' Mansion in the future!"

Cui Liu's words were sonorous and powerful, and Chun'er trembled all over.

"Chun'er, is it really as Cui Liu said? Did you and a woman named Lu make up the rumors about the aunt?"

"If you don't tell the truth again, I will sell you out now. If you do something that damages the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, even your mother-in-law can't protect you."

"Madam, please spare my life. I didn't collude with Lu Rou. As for the rumors..."

Chun'er knew very well that the Marquis almost wanted to kill her just because he heard about Lu Rou that day. If the old lady knew that the lady knew about Lu Rou's existence and was related to her, she would never let her stay in the mansion.

What's more, she has already angered that person, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

Comparing the two, the lady in front of her seemed to be her life-saving straw.

"Madam, please don't sell me out. I am willing to tell you everything I know."

Chun'er, who figured this out, spoke with urgency in her voice.

Cui Liu snorted coldly, "Why don't you tell me now! Don't think that you can be fooled by Madam's kindness. Chun'er, if you dare to tell a lie, you will not be allowed to show up in the mansion tomorrow."

"The things about the aunt are just what I said casually. The old lady and the marquis don't know about these things at all. I am vain, but I don't know how it got out."

"As for the woman surnamed Lu, her name is Lu Rou. I also suspected her identity before. In a later conversation between the old lady and the marquis, I learned that Lu Rou was the marquis's concubine. Not only that, she also gave birth to a child for the marquis."

"Madam, this is all I know. Please don't tell the marquis and the old lady about this. Otherwise, I will die."

Chun'er knelt directly in front of Xu Yuan, trembling with fear. Where is the previous arrogance?

"Was the slap mark on your face caused by Lu Rou?"

Xu Yuan asked.

"Yes." Chun'er nodded. She didn't expect that the lady would notice the condition on her face at this time. Thinking of Lu Rou, Chun'er's eyes were filled with resentment.

"Madam, Lu Rou is extremely arrogant. She relies on the favor of the Marquis to do whatever she wants. I don't know how she heard these rumors and beat me like this."

"Madam, you must make the decision for me."

Chun'er kept observing Xu Yuan's expression. "Madam, I say that Lu Rou is not even one thousandth of you."

Xu Yuan's expression was calm. He was not as angry as Chun'er thought. His eyes showed a little contempt. "Chun'er, you don't have to use these words to provoke me."

"If you think you want to use these things to make me come forward to expose Lu Rou's existence, then you are wrong."

Chun'er, whose thoughts were seen through, lowered her head and said no more.

"I am a little tired today. You can leave first."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and turned to walk into the house.

Chun'er was anxious when she saw this scene. She told the lady everything, just wanting her to be her future protector, but now the lady knew all this, but she didn't react at all.

What if Lu Rou did something to her again...

Chun'er couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She tried to get up and chase after her, but she was stopped by Cui Liu just after she stood up and took two steps.

Cui Liu scolded Chun'er with a cold face, "Chun'er, didn't you hear the lady say that she was tired and needed to rest?"

"But..."

"But what but, the lady didn't punish you for doing this, which is kind. Don't be ungrateful. If you really make the lady angry, the old lady may not be able to protect you."

"Hurry up and leave."

Although Chun'er was unwilling, she knew that Cui Liu was telling the truth. If it were the lady in the past, she would never do anything that would displease the old lady and the marquis, but since she gave birth to the little son, her temperament has changed drastically.

It's really hard to figure out.

Looking at the face of the marquis that day, I'm afraid that even he doesn't dare to easily annoy the lady.

Chun'er could only leave helplessly.

Cui Liu saw the people walking away, secretly said that she deserved it, and walked into the house quickly.

"Madam, you are still too kind to Chun'er. You don't know how many bad things she said about you in front of the old lady."

"It's just..." Although Cui Liu felt relieved, she couldn't help but worry about Chun'er's temper.

"Madam, since Chun'er told you all these things today, will she go back and tell the old lady and the marquis? If they know that you know about Lu Rou's existence, wouldn't it ruin the plan?"

"She dare not." Xu Yuan replied.

"The reason why Chun'er said these things, you can see from the slap marks on her face. She must have no way to survive in Lu Rou's place, otherwise she wouldn't say those words later."

"As for Shen Yun'an and my mother-in-law, they are most worried that I will know about the substitution. I'm afraid they have warned Chun'er long ago."

"Then why did Madam call Chun'er here? Did she just let her tell the story and leave it at that?"

But Madam knew about these things a long time ago.

Seeing Cui Liu's doubts, Xu Yuan simply explained it to the end.

"Chun'er thought that I knew all this, and would definitely pull Lu Rou out and use me to get rid of Lu Rou's existence, but the more I didn't give her an attitude, the more she didn't know what to do."

"At this time, she is probably like a headless fly, flying around everywhere. We just need to wait and make a move at the critical moment."

"This Chun'er is a key chess piece. Only if it is used well can it play the greatest role."

"I understand, do you want to use Chun'er to attract Lu Rou to appear?"

Cui Liu looked at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan nodded, his tone full of praise, "Our Cui Liu is getting smarter and smarter."

"It's the madam who is amazing. What I have learned is just some superficial knowledge."

Cui Liu was embarrassed by Xu Yuan's praise. Chun'er,

who left Xu Yuan, felt more and more uneasy.

Now that the madam also knows these things, the old lady and the marquis will definitely not let her go.
