2665 Did Not Get Scared
“I planned to call over a procuress in two days to sell that servant girl plus several other worrisome servants, and then buy several quick-witted servants to replace them.”
Mu Qingya quickly explained, “I, I truly don’t know why it turned out like this?”
“Oh?” Qiao Mu’s expression showed that she didn’t really believe her. She swept her gaze over Mu Qingya. “From what you say, you didn’t check on her after throwing her into the woodshed?”
Mu Qingya nodded. She was anxious, but she was afraid that explaining too much would incur Qiao Mu’s annoyance.
She clenched her fists, and her breathing was also unsteady.
The middle-aged man behind her, Mu Liang, couldn’t stand it anymore. He creased his brows and said, “Crown Prince Consort, Madam manages the household affairs of the entire Mu Clan. There are many miscellaneous matters to attend to every day. Xiaoxing is but a mere servant girl. How could Madam keep watch over the woodshed the entire time?”
“Some kind of mistake must have happened here.” Mu Liang cupped his hands and said, “If the crown prince consort trusts this subordinate, allow this subordinate to go investigate the woodshed.”
This Mu Liang was one of her father Mu Jingfeng’s people, and he spoke right to the point.
Qiao Mu was not one to be deliberately provocative. Without proof, she was not going to wrongly accuse Mu Qingya.
She nodded after hearing this. “Madam Mu does not need to take it to heart. You can investigate if you like.”
In any case, the result would probably be that nothing could be uncovered.
No matter who it was that made the move, they definitely weren’t going to leave any traces.
“Qiaoqiao.” Mu Qingya’s expression was hesitant and sorrowful. “You can actually let down your guard a little and look at the people around you.”
“What happened.” Mu Xingchen strode into Magnolia Court with Mu Jingrui and Mu Jingyuan following behind.
The three of them were originally on the way to Magnolia Court. After hearing such a large commotion, they hastily picked up their pace and rushed over.
Mu Qingya quickly walked over and took the initiative to recount what had happened.
Mu Xingchen and them hastily walked over and flipped Xiaoxing’s body over.
When they saw the abnormal appearance and the portion of the zombie’s tongue that had been cut off, their hearts shook.
How could this still be considered a human?
“Mu Liang, did you search the woodshed yet?”
“This subordinate will be going right now!”
“Qiaoqiao.” Mu Xingchen walked over next to her. “You must have suffered a fright.”
“There wasn’t fright, just annoyance. I’m disappointed in the Mu Clan.” Qiao Mu spoke coldly, “I’ve just only been here for one day, yet my maidservants nearly got scratched by a zombie. I am doubting the security of your Mu Clan’s rear court.”
“If you do not welcome me, you could say it straight. I don’t have to stay and not refuse to go.” Qiao Mu spoke coldly, “No need to utilize such underhanded methods.”
Mu Qingya’s personal maidservant, Conglu, truly couldn’t tolerate it anymore. She stood up and chastised, “Crown Prince Consort, what do you mean by this? Mu Liang had already explained earlier, yet you still suspect our madam??”
“Madam is treating you well from the bottom of her heart. Upon living in Magnolia Court, she has been busy preparing this and that for you. She is afraid to slight you.”
“Shut up!” Mu Qingya berated. She turned to look apologetically at Qiao Mu. “Sorry, Qiaoqiao, my maidservant lacks etiquette. Please do not stoop down to her level.”
Qiao Mu nodded. “I of course will not bicker with her on small things like this.”
Everyone twitched their mouths and mused that she truly knew how to take full advantage of free services and items!
