C30 Lee Was Punished

Su Peisheng was truly worthy of being Fourth Master's trusted aide. Based on the clues and investigation, he found the culprit in one fell swoop.

The killer was Inferior Baroness and Mrs. Lee's close grandson, Li Zhu.

This pearl was the maid Mrs. Lee had brought with her from her family, and was Mrs. Lee's number one confidante.

When Mrs. Lee first entered the mansion, she was just a lowly person with a low status, so she could only bring one maid with her to accompany her in marriage.

Later on, because of her determination, she was able to ascend to the rank of Inferior Baroness. There were many people attending her, but the one she trusted the most was still this escort she brought from her parents' home, maidservant.

When Fourth Master heard that the culprit was Pearl who was standing beside Mrs. Lee, his face darkened and his eyes turned deep.

This action of the pearl must have been under the command of Mrs. Lee.

What had Mrs. Lee done to make the pearl shameful?

In order to protect this secret, he actually killed his way through?

Fourth Master ordered Su Peisheng to dig the truth out of the pearl's mouth no matter what.

He had already checked all the servants around Honghui. Although he didn't find the person who poisoned her, he found one of the servants was related to Mrs. Lee's family.

Although there was no evidence, it didn't stop Fourth Master from suspecting her.

After all, only Mrs. Lee had a son in the mansion, and she was the one with the most reason to harm Honghui.

"..."

"Miss Pearl, how is it? Have you decided? My house is advising you. Su Peisheng looked coldly at Pearl.

"What?" This servant doesn't understand what Manager Su is saying? This servant did not kill anyone! "

Pearl's eyes were filled with despair. Now she was begging for death!

It's been a long time, and this little hoof still isn't admitting it. I'm still waiting for him to report back!

"Have you not eaten your fill? You don't even have the strength to wait upon a servant? Hurry up and put in more effort, making this lady feel better! "

Su Peisheng cast a glance at the few executioners and snorted.

The few of them were so scared that they trembled. Their hands hurriedly increased their strength, and the pearl let out a blood-curdling scream as it fell unconscious from the pain.

Su Peisheng frowned, "Wake her up!"

"Yes sir!" A young eunuch added a handful of salt to the water, raised it, and poured it over Pearl.

Pearl groaned in pain and slowly came to her senses.

"Still no admission?" Fourth Master was getting impatient and directly came over.

Everyone hurriedly saluted. When Pearl saw Fourth Master, she was so scared that her face turned pale.

She dared to be stubborn in front of Su Peisheng, but she didn't dare to be stubborn in front of Fourth Master.

"Pearl, why did you kill Bi Yun? Was it ordered by someone else? "If you speak the truth, I can spare your life and grant you some silver taels so that you will have no worries for the rest of your life." Fourth Master looked at Pearl coldly. The dignity in his eyes made people not dare to look at him directly.

Pearl's face showed a painful struggle, but in the end, a look of determination flashed through her eyes.

"Master, this servant doesn't know what you're talking about!" This servant really didn't kill anyone. If you don't believe me, then this servant can die with my will! "

The pearl face was filled with determination.

Pearl used all her strength and slammed into the pillar. Blood splattered on the spot.

"Stop her!" Unfortunately, Fourth Master's words were a step too slow.

Blood gushed out, dying the pearl's eyes red. She thought of how the little miss, dressed in a bright red jacket, had saved the whole family from starvation, like a goddess who had descended to the mortal world.

"Miss, Erya's family owes you a favor, and they've already used their lives to repay you." Pearl said in her heart.

She slowly closed her eyes, revealing a relieved smile.

Fourth Master looked at Pearl's corpse with an ashen face. What exactly was this secret Pearl had to protect, even at the cost of killing herself?

Could it really have been Mrs. Lee who poisoned Honghui?

Although there was no evidence, Fourth Master still wrote it down for her.

"Su Peisheng, Mrs. Lee didn't discipline her well. She was punished with imprisonment for half a year and a hundred scrolls."

Ever since Pearl was taken away, Mrs. Lee had been in a state of panic and absent-mindedness.

"Bang!" Your servant deserves to die! This servant didn't do it on purpose! I beg Inferior Baroness to forgive me! "

Peach accidentally broke the teacup and was so scared that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Inferior Baroness Lee's bad temper was well-known. Moreover, she was not in a good mood at the moment. If she didn't die today, she would at least be skinned alive.

"Brute little girl, get out here to receive your punishment!" Mrs. Lee waved her hand impatiently.

Xiaotao retreated as if she had received an amnesty.

Mrs. Lee looked around. This room was the one she moved into after rising to Inferior Baroness's level.

The room was spacious and tasteful.

I didn't expect her to be so lucky as to be able to enter a prince's mansion, give birth to a grandson, and then ascend to Inferior Baroness.

Everything she had worked so hard to obtain might soon be lost.

Her only hope now was that Pearl would remember her kindness and be loyal to her, and never say anything that she shouldn't have said under the severe punishment.

While Mrs. Lee was still uneasy, Su Peisheng arrived.

Mrs. Lee immediately came forward to greet him. She had always been a proud person, and even if Su Peisheng was a popular person beside Fourth Master, she would only show affection and despise him as a eunuch.

Su Peisheng looked at Mrs. Lee with a deadpan expression. He said lightly, "Yes, my lord. Inferior Baroness Lee is not strict with her discipline. The punishment is imprisonment for half a year and the punishment is to copy a hundred books."

"Yes, I will obey." Mrs. Lee heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like Pearl had nothing to do with it. Otherwise, Fourth Master would not have punished her so lightly.

He had passed this trial.

"Eunuch Su, it's my fault for angering me. I'll have to trouble you in front of Fourth Master and ask for your kind words. I definitely won't forget your contribution."

Mrs. Lee took off a pure gold jeweled bracelet and stuffed it into Su Peisheng's hand.

Su Peisheng glanced at her and said with a smile: "This servant thanks Inferior Baroness Lee for her reward. Don't worry, if there's a chance, this servant will definitely call you wrongdoings in front of me."

After Su Peisheng left, Mrs. Lee's legs went soft and she fell onto the chair.

This trial had finally been passed!

She reached out to touch her belly. Forbidding her to take a walk at this time might not be a bad thing.
