After fast time travel, I became the favorite of the villain

Chapter 41

It wasn't until her cheeks became red and swollen that Xia Ruan said slowly, "What is the housekeeper doing? If outsiders see it, they will think that I am bullying the servants?"

What was said seemed to be an understanding, and a smug smile appeared on the butler's low face.

He has always felt that Xia Ruan is a good master since he entered the Xia Mansion, and he fooled it by selling it a few times casually. This is also the third time the housekeeper has done such a thing.

The butler's legs were numb from kneeling, and when he stood up, he was a little trembling.

Xia Ruan waited for his happiest moment, and gave him a blow to the head: "Dianzhu, clear up this month's monthly money for the housekeeper. Next month, it won't be used."

"Why...why! Miss, I have worked hard without credit! You can't drive me away..." The butler burst into tears, talking about his suffering over and over again.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xia Ruan's actions seemed too cruel.

But since the butler entered the Xia Mansion, he has been uneasy and kind, deducting wages, reselling cloth, and what's more, when the Xia family was in complete decline, he took away most of the Xia family's money.

At that time, it would be so sad for Dianzhu to be a weak woman, without any skills, but with a heartbroken and determined original body.

"I remember one or two of the credits and hard work the steward said, but I can't remember the rest. Why don't I ask other people to investigate and see if the steward's hard work is worth it in the Xia Mansion?" Stay for a while longer." Xia Ruan said casually, but every word was serious.

Little did they know, the hand she had hidden behind her back had already turned purple.

Hearing the word "investigation", the housekeeper accepted his fate. If Xia Ruan found out that something was wrong, wouldn't he be sent to the government.

He said timidly: "Miss...Miss is right. My contribution is indeed not worthy of staying in Xia's family, so it is what Miss says."

Looking at this dramatic scene, Dianzhu couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

The housekeepers in the past were all arrogant, why are they so timid now?

The butler limped out of the main hall, and Xia Ruan's nervous expression relaxed.

"Miss, why does the housekeeper listen to you so much?"

Xia Ruan walked to the crabapple tree in the courtyard, caught the petals that were falling all over the sky, and said: "The slave is bullying the master, I gave him a little prestige, and he will naturally obey."

"By the way, Dianzhu, you should pay more attention to the warehouse on the east side in the near future. If you are really too busy, call Qi Jue. There are very important things there."

The delicate petals were crushed in her hands, and the fresh flower juice covered her two fingers. When Xia Ruan thought of Su Mo, she was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.

After another day or so, there was still no movement in the warehouse on the east side.

Xia Ruan had to admire the patience of the person who secretly lit the fire.

The waning moon hangs high, and the night wind is biting.Xia Ruan took a coat casually, put it on her body, and went out.

After walking a few steps, he bumped into Su Mo in the corridor.

He was wearing the Taoist robe that he wore on the first day of meeting, his expression was indifferent, and he even greeted him very politely: "Hello, Miss Xia."

"Su Daochang, you are also good." Xia Ruan deliberately dragged out the last word "good".

However, now is not the time to worry, the warehouse is the most important thing.

No matter how unkind Su Mo was, he could hear the displeasure in Xia Ruan's heart, but he didn't know why she was displeased.

Just in case, Xia Ruan woke up the system in the middle of the night.

[Host, what are you doing, this system is having a sweet dream, halfway through, you called me up, what is your intention]
"You're playing disco in your dream. At such a tense moment, you can still fall asleep. Maybe at some point, the person who set the fire will come out—"

Xia Ruan's voice stopped abruptly, just because she caught a glimpse of a figure passing by at the corner of the wall, going in the direction of the east warehouse.

[This...isn't it out yet, I'm sleeping for a while]
"Shut up." Xia Ruan let out a cold snort, driving away the drowsiness of the system.

The man timidly walked to the storehouse, opened the torch in his hand, but he couldn't light the house no matter what, even if he took some straw from the side, it still didn't help.

Xia Ruan also quietly followed, tiptoeing, and with the help of the system, she didn't make a sound.

Seeing the man's movements clearly, Xia Ruan walked up behind him and said, "Is the fire out of order?"

"That's right! I obviously did the same thing last time—"

Suddenly, he fell silent, turned his head slowly, and shouted at the moment he saw Xia Ruan: "Ghost! Ghost... ah!"

Before he could say a few more words, a drugged rag covered his face.

Fall in response.

"It's strange, it's not too dark today, why do you feel so scared when you see me, I'm pretty good-looking, right?" Xia Ruan wiped off the drug on her hands, touched her cheeks, and there was nothing unusual.

[That is, in order to protect the host, the system deliberately changed the appearance of the host in his eyes to an ancient evil beast, thank you to the system]
"Well, the system is really kind of you." Although Xia Ruan was not stingy with praise, she didn't want to praise such a wicked system.

The people who heard the sound looked at the man who fell on the ground and Xia Ruan who was sitting aside, and couldn't figure out what happened.

But insiders Dianzhu and Qi Jue knew what to do at a glance.

Qi Jue does hard work.

He carried the man to the main hall alone, Xia Ruan and Dian Zhu walked in front without saying a word of concern.

When the man woke up, the bright light made his eyes hurt.

According to other servants, this man was originally called Wang Li, and he entered Xia Mansion as a cleaning servant three months ago.

Wang Li saw that his whole body was tied up, and immediately knew that the matter had been revealed. He looked at Xia Ruan viciously, and in the next second, he bit the poison hidden in his teeth, and committed suicide.

Blood flowed from Wang Li's mouth, and his body fell to the ground stiffly.

Xia Ruan was a little annoyed that the clues she finally found were cut off.

But who would have thought that he would hide poison in his mouth?

[Host, everything is possible, I hope the host will not take it lightly]
Xia Ruan, who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, suddenly thought of a way, and said to the others: "You have all seen it, anyone who dares to betray the Xia family in the future will end up like this."

The servants immediately lowered their heads one by one, their mood of watching the excitement was gone, for fear that if they were not careful, this natural and man-made disaster would fall on them.

The servants lined up in several rows, and Xia Ruan walked in front of them one by one, and asked the system to check if any of them were guilty or lying.

As a result, except for Wang Li, no one else was subordinate to the person behind the scenes.

Xia Ruan waved his hand and asked his servants to take Wang Li's body down and bury it on the spot.

A servant from the same room as Wang Li walked up to Xia Ruan and asked cautiously, "Miss, do you want to burn the clothes related to...Wang Li?"
