The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The moon sneaked up above people's heads when they weren't paying attention to it. The night was still warm. A breeze blew, and the candlelight moved with the wind, blowing into the clothes with a gust of coolness, making people shrink their necks.

The body lying in the middle of the room, with its clothes slightly moving, gave people a creepy feeling.

"It's too late, everyone should go back." Hu Yu had the body carried back to the morgue in the government office. He told Cao Jun'an his request, "Qing Huan Ju will be closed for a while, Master Cao..."

"No." Cao Jun'an walked up to him and stared into Hu Yu's eyes with a sullen face. "Do you know how much money Qing Huan Ju makes every day? Why are you going to close my territory with just one word from you?"

He flicked his sleeves and ordered them to leave. "If you want to investigate the case, we will fully cooperate at any time. But it is impossible to seal off Qing Huan Ju."

He looked at Tang Zhongbai, rolled his eyes at him, and left angrily, leaving Miss Liu alone to deal with the government officials.

After being scolded by Cao Jun'an, Hu Yu just smiled indifferently and did not take his insolence to heart.

Liu Xuer looked at Tang Zhongbai eagerly for help.

Tang Zhongbai sighed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Master Hu, how about sealing off the crime scene and trying not to affect the normal reception of Qinghuanju? Do you think it's feasible?"

Liu Xuer quickly agreed, "I promise to cooperate with Lord Hu's investigation and wait for your orders at any time."

"Okay." Hu Yu gave Tang Zhongbai enough face and left with his men.

It was almost midnight, and they had been out for quite some time. The two left Qing Huan Ju and headed home.

On the second floor of Qing Huan Ju, a window was slightly opened, revealing a pair of eyes that were staring at their every move. She let out a weird smile that made people's hair stand on end, and after the people walked away, she slammed the window shut.

He squeezed out a sentence, "You two can wait to go to hell and become a pair of miserable lovers."

She clenched her right hand hard, and the cup in her hand shattered. When she opened her hand again, only a pile of dust was left in her hand.

"Oh, you're finally back." The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and Tang Zhongbai stood under the carriage and reached out to help her.

Jiang Muxia took his hand, jumped down, and landed steadily on the ground.

Tang Si drove the carriage towards the side door very tactfully.

Tang Zhongbai led her back to the Bamboo Grove Garden and stopped outside the door.

"You should go back and have some rest. Tomorrow your father will invite officials from the government to our house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. You have to help your mother entertain their wives."

"Don't worry, I can do it."

Jiang Muxia pushed open the door. Under the dim light of the lantern, she saw two figures kneeling in the corridor. Opposite them sat a solemn-looking nanny, holding a ruler in her hand and standing straight, staring at them intently.

When the nanny heard the door open, she immediately stood up and walked towards the door in small steps.

He bowed to the two of them and looked at Tang Zhongbai, "Madam asked the Second Young Master to come to the room to chat after he comes back. Please go quickly, Madam is still waiting for you."

Tang Zhongbai smiled, responded with a relaxed breath, and told Jiang Muxia in a gentle tone to rest early, then left and headed towards Guizhiyuan.

She could guess why the lady wanted to talk to him about this. It was natural for a mother to lecture her son, so she was not worried.

What she needed to deal with now was the matter of the two maids kneeling in the yard. She was the one who took them out, so she should be punished, and she couldn't just stand by and watch.

"Mammy, can you please let them get up? I need their help to entertain the guests tomorrow."

The nanny knelt down and bowed to her, then said with a smile, "Madam, you are joking. They are being punished only because they did something wrong. They have to do their work tomorrow, and they have to complete the punishment for their mistakes today. Madam, please don't make things difficult for me." After saying that, she went back to the opposite side of the maid and stood beside the chair.

Jiang Muxia knew that the family had strict rules and requirements. Today's incident was their fault, so she couldn't plead for mercy. She walked to Qinghong, lifted her skirt and knelt down next to her.

The maid screamed, "Madam, why are you doing this? Where do you put me?"

She went forward to help the person up, but saw Jiang Muxia laugh softly and raised her hand to stop her.

"Don't worry, Mammy. Today's incident was caused by me. As slaves, they just followed my orders. I should be punished first, and then they."

"This..." Mammy was choked by her reason and didn't know how to respond. But she knew one thing: there was no master in the world who would be punished together with his servants.

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, she had no choice but to leave in a hurry and report to her wife.

"Madam, isn't this inappropriate?" Caiyun asked her cautiously.

"It doesn't matter. We just have different divisions of labor. There is no distinction between high and low. It is unfair for you to be punished because of me. It is only right that I accompany you in the punishment."

Qinghong looked at her curiously, but Caiyun was so moved by her words that her eyes were filled with tears.

After saying this, Jiang Muxia straightened his back and closed his eyes to take a nap.

The courtyard was quiet, the leaves of the trees rustled in the wind, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers inadvertently entered their noses. Except for the soreness of their knees, they felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

After a while, Tang Zhongbai came running over with his nanny.

"Hurry up." Tang Zhongbai pulled her up with force. "No matter what happens in the future, you can't kneel down casually in the Tang family."

There was some pain in his eyes, and he was secretly annoyed at himself for being useless. He was punished on the first day he came to his house. Although she did it voluntarily, it was ultimately because he had not arranged things well.

"You two should get up quickly. Madam has spared you for my wife's sake." Nanny excused Qinghong and the others from punishment and warned them sternly, "But as servants, you should have tried your best to persuade your master when he behaved inappropriately. If persuasion failed, you should have reported it to Madam. But not only did you not persuade him, but you followed your master in making trouble and caused such a big mess. If you do it again, you will be kicked out of the house."

After the nanny finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.

Jiang Muxia smiled bitterly. Her outrageous behavior today was probably known to everyone in the mansion. She was born in a humble family. If this happened, even the servants in the mansion would only show respect to her on the surface, and look down on her in their hearts.

She smiled and shook her head. What had happened was over. No matter what.

Qinghong and Caiyun supported each other to stand up and thanked her.

"You guys should go and rest. You will be the only ones around me to help me tomorrow."

The two men left, leaving only her and Tang Zhongbai in the courtyard.

Tang Zhongbai brushed the dust off her clothes, put his hands on her cheeks, and stroked her skin with his fingertips. His eyes were full of tenderness, and the next moment he held her in his arms.

"You have been wronged."

"Silly boy, I am willing to do this. They are my people now, and I should protect them."

The wind picked up and the gate creaked.

Her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered something. She broke free from his arms, looked at him seriously and said, "I forgot to tell Cao Jun'an to pay attention to Ji Di. Let him know tomorrow when you have time. There must be something wrong with this person."

"Do you still doubt her?"

"That's right, my brother said that there are many strange methods in this world that can change a person's appearance. The King of Lingnan has many extraordinary people under his command, so it's no problem for him to be able to do this."

"Well, it's better to believe it than not to believe it."
