Chapter 638: Confusion (Part 2)
"What kind of scholarly family do you come from to make you so arrogant and proud?!"
Qingwen had originally focused all her attention on Sun Shaozong, but when she heard these words, she looked at Caixia in horror.
She never expected that Caixia would first firmly refuse, and then suddenly come up to her and change her words. Her purpose was to frame her in front of Sun Shaozong!
And he was trying to harm her to death!
In fact, Qingwen was deceived by Caixia's submissive attitude in the past two years, and completely forgot that when she was in Rongguo Mansion, she was also the head maid beside Lady Wang, and her status was higher than hers.
How could anyone who could reach such a position in a big mansion be a timid person?
He stared at Caixia in shock for a while, and saw that she was still kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, with no intention of interrupting or saying anything.
Qingwen then turned around and bowed solemnly: "Master, please understand, my brother and his wife have received a lot of help from you. Even if I am a ruthless and heartless servant, I can't say such arrogant and rude nonsense!"
This was similar to what Sun Shaozong thought, but he did not say anything. He just shifted his gaze to Caixia.
That gaze, as if it were real, pressed down on Caixia's shoulders like a mountain, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
But now that things have come to this, there is no reason to retreat.
Therefore, she finally mustered up her courage and said, "Master! If she didn't have such intentions, why would she let me take her place?"
These words touched Qingwen's soft spot. Although she did not mean to despise Sun Shaozong as a crude warrior, she had never thought of entrusting her body to him - the impulse she felt when she was filled with sorrow was not her original intention.
Now that Caixia has tied the two things together, it is really difficult for her to defend herself.
But now, no matter how difficult it is, we have to say something. Otherwise, wouldn't it be tacitly admitting the fact that we look down on Sun Shaozong?
You know, if this is confirmed, even Xiangling will not protect her!
"I just..."
Qingwen bit her lips until they turned white, and then she managed to force out a sentence: "I just don't want to lose my innocence in a muddle, so how could I underestimate a hero like the master?"
"clean?"
But Caixia caught the flaw in this statement, and she sneered, "If it was Yuanyang who said this, I would believe it - but everyone in this mansion, including the Rong and Ning mansions, knows that you were driven out of the Rongguo Mansion because you seduced the master."
As she spoke, Caixia raised her head and asked aggressively, "She threw herself into the arms of Master Bao, but when she came to our master, she even avoided serving him and washing his feet. How else could she be so disrespectful to him?"
"you!"
Being driven away from Jia Baoyu by Lady Wang on the grounds that she was too charming to be seduce her master can be said to be the biggest scar in Qingwen's heart. When Caixia revealed this to her in front of her, she was so angry that her body trembled and she could hardly utter a complete sentence.
She dug her green jade fingers deep into her palms, and finally she felt relieved. She said word by word, "My innocence is proven by heaven and earth! How can you discredit it with a few dirty words?!"
Caixia was initially afraid that Sun Shaozong would favor Qingwen, but now that she saw that he remained silent and let her take the initiative, she couldn't help but feel active.
Thinking that Qingwen originally tried to seduce him with money just to avoid serving him in the emperor's bedchamber, and thus used the trick of using someone else as a substitute, he thought he had guessed Sun Shaozong's intentions.
He secretly thought that if he could fulfill Sun Shaozong's wish and ruin Qingwen's body, it would be the best of both worlds for him - he could take revenge on Qingwen and get out of the predicament at the same time.
So she immediately retorted: "What guilt has the heaven and earth shown? You have used them to trample upon for no reason! If you really have any innocence, you don't need the heaven and earth to prove it. You can just try it and you will know!"
"you……"
Such remarks immediately made Qingwen so angry that her eyes were about to burst into tears. She stamped her feet and said, "Such shameless words, you..."
"alright!"
At this time, Sun Shaozong finally spoke up, and said with a cold face: "I am too lazy to ask which of you two is lying - but you secretly asked the kitchen maid to replace you to serve, it can't be false, right?"
"Since you once served Brother Bao, I thought I had taken good care of you. I never thought you would still be so disloyal."
"Well, I don't think my house can accommodate you. You should pack your bags and take your indenture with you to find another job tomorrow!"
As mentioned before, Sun Shaozong was originally quite dissatisfied with Qingwen's behavior.
And just now, after hearing Caixia's details, she actually wanted to force Qingwen to sacrifice herself as a witness, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
But seeing Qingwen's harsh words, all those expectations naturally turned into disappointment.
This dissatisfaction and disappointment combined together made him completely lose interest and patience, and he simply sent Qingwen away.
After all, his current way of thinking is no longer the same as when he first traveled through time. How could he have the patience to be attentive and attentive to a mere maid?
But to Qingwen, these words were like a bolt of thunder!
Nowadays, slaves who were kicked out by their masters were generally considered to have poor morals - and those who were kicked out twice in a row were basically like rats crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat them!
What's more, her brother and sister-in-law had just found a way to make a living thanks to Sun Shaozong. If she were kicked out again, the whole family would be in danger!
“I, I…”
Thinking of this, she opened her cherry lips tremblingly, but in the end she couldn't utter a soft word - when she was driven out of Rongguo Mansion, she still refused to bow to Mrs. Wang, so how could she change her rebellious temper now?
Finally, she gritted her teeth and decided to pack her luggage.
Fortunately, Caixia saw this and thought that Sun Shaozong was playing hard to get, so she hurriedly said, "You must think it over carefully. You already have a bad reputation in Rongguo Mansion. If you are kicked out of the mansion now, which family will dare to employ you? And your sister-in-law is also famous for being mean and absurd. If things go wrong, you may end up falling into prostitution!"
After a pause, she sneered maliciously and said, "If you are innocent by then, you can still sell it for more money!"
As Qingwen took a step, she was nailed to the ground by these words.
Although she didn't want to admit it, but considering her sister-in-law's character, Caixia's threats might very well become her nightmare come true!
Just when she was feeling panic-stricken, half of her delicate hand was pinched in someone's palm.
Qingwen's delicate body trembled, and when she tried to struggle free, she found that the person standing next to her was not Sun Shaozong, but Caixia who had quietly stood up.
So I couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
During this moment of hesitation, Caixia dragged her in front of Sun Shaozong and pressed her to sit on the bed.
Caixia took a half step back, bowed and said, "Master, whether she is doing this for the sake of innocence or because she despises you, you will know the truth once you test her - I will not disturb you for now...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Sun Shaozong pulled her into his arms and sneered, "If she is really innocent, then the term 'vulgar warrior' must have come from you. Why don't you stay here and wait for me to examine her clearly before making any decisions!"
