C99 End
"Pa!" Another crisp sound was heard. This time it was Mu Ruqing.
Eldest servant girl pulled Mingdie who was running out and Mu Ruqing called her over with a slap. Her sad expression could not hide her anger, "Who do you think is the cause of being conflicted!? Who is it? !"
Mingdie covered her face as tears flowed out of her eyes. She was stunned for a while. I was the one who asked them to come here. I was the one who told them not to light candles. It was me... She stared blankly at Mu Ruqing and after a while, two words popped out, "I... I..."
"It's a thief who entered the house! It was the thief who caused his sister to be like this. Right now, only the four of us know about this. If you talk too much and tell Grandma... That is to tell the world that tonight, my sister's innocence has been sullied by the bandits! What exactly do you want? " Mu Ruqing stood upright with a dignified air. Mingdie lowered her head. Lowering her posture.
Mu Ruqing turned around and had her back to Mingdie, "Quickly bring over your younger sister's clothes and let her change! To the public, she only said that when her sister went to the toilet and came back, the room was turned upside down by the thief. You went with your sister! Did you hear it clearly? "
Mingdie nodded as tears streamed down her face. eldest servant girl stood up and said, "I will go with Miss Liu."
"Then thank you elder sister. Except for the four of us, no one else is allowed to know about this!"
"Fourth Miss is too serious." eldest servant girl blessed herself.
Lingyue picked up the clothes from the ground and passed it to Mingdie, "Quickly put it on for Miss Liu!"
Mingdie's hands were shaking so hard that they moved the clothes up and down. She cried a few times, "Miss... Little... Sister..."
Lau Fenglan was still in a daze as she mechanically turned her head to look at Mingdie. In an instant, her entire body went crazy and she pounced towards Mingdie.
Mu Ruqing grabbed her bruised arm and coldly asked, "Do you really want everyone to know?"
Lau Fenglan grabbed the cup to death and covered under her eyes as she trembled, "No, no, no."
"Then obediently put on your clothes. You have one night to accept this matter. If you reveal any flaws tomorrow, no one will be able to help you!" Mu Ruqing let go of her and ordered Mingdie, "Quickly put on your family's young mistress's clothes!"
"Yes." Mingdie did not dare to raise her head to look at Lau Fenglan and kicked the small steps on the bed. Her figure swayed, "Young... young mistress, put on clothes..."
Lau Fenglan also did not resist and put on her clothes and just sat there blankly.
"Miss, the shopkeeper is here. He is outside the door." Lingyue heard the commotion at the door and guessed that the shopkeeper was here.
Mu Ruqing flung her skirt and angrily walked out.
"Miss, I deserve to die ten thousand times for my crimes!" The shopkeeper saw Mu Ruqing and knelt down. His tone was filled with guilt and sincerity!
Mu Ruqing looked down at him from above and said angrily, "Do you know that the big fire almost took my life! Grandmother was frightened again and now there are bandits who broke into sister's room to steal. If not for my sister going to the toilet, what would have happened? Why are there so many strange things in your villa? ! Is this how you treat your guests? I think you don't need to continue driving this villa! Save yourself from harming others and harming yourself!"
" Miss, spare this lowly one! This is the foundation of this little one's ancestors. I have both old and young people. If not for this property, this lowly one would not have any other business! Young miss, please do me a favor!" The shopkeeper spoke in such a manner that tears and snot flowed down from his nose.
"Hmph! If you have difficulties, then what about my grandmother and sister? " Mu Ruqing lightly snorted and did not appreciate it.
"Miss, please spare this little one this time. This little one will compensate Miss and Madam!" The shopkeeper paused and thought of only one solution.
"What do you think I lack?" Mu Ruqing said it casually. The shopkeeper thought about it and indeed, what would the Prime Minister's daughter lack?
"Please, Miss!" The shopkeeper could only kowtow and plead.
"Fourth Miss, the madame is also a kind person. Why don't we spare him this time?" eldest servant girl walked up and pleaded on behalf of the shopkeeper.
Mu Ruqing hesitated for a moment and walked back and forth a few steps. She let out a sigh of relief, "Alright, I'll spare you for my grandmother's sake. It's just that I want the young lady Mei in your manor. It was all thanks to her that I saved you this time. Lingyue and I will not stand here either."
"Many thanks, Miss. I dare not forget Miss's kindness! Not to mention a maid, even if you want a few dozen, you will have to give them to Miss unconditionally." When the shopkeeper saw Mu Ruqing loosen her grip, he became happy. He could finally protect this property!
"I am not greedy. I only want that one. There is one more thing. My sister and I can no longer stay in the room. Clean up a new room and let my sister stay in it."
"Okay, okay, okay. Miss, follow me. I've already prepared a good private room." The shopkeeper stood up and led the way.
Mu Ruqing let Lingyue go inside to help Lau Fenglan out.
When Lau Fenglan went out, her clothes were neatly dressed and her expression was much better. At least she did not see any clues. She even bowed and called out, "Big sister."
This made Mu Ruqing look at her in a new light and thought that she would not be able to walk out. Now it seems that I was overthinking, "Little sister, the shopkeeper has prepared a private room. You go and rest first. We will return tomorrow."
"Okay." Lau Fenglan replied in a soft voice and walked side by side with Mu Ruqing behind the shopkeeper.
The private room was not far and they arrived in half a quarter of an hour. A group of people entered the room.
"May I ask what else does Miss need?" The shopkeeper bowed and asked respectfully.
"No need." Lau Fenglan said lightly, "You can leave!"
"Yes!" The shopkeeper stood at the door and closed the door.
"You rest, I'll go and see Grandma." Mu Ruqing said and left without waiting for Lau Fenglan to reply.
Lau Fenglan looked at Mu Ruqing's back and bit her lips. Both of her hands were tightly clenched and her nails cut the flesh and dripped a few drops on the floor.
Mu Ruqing did not care that much. Today's disaster could only be considered as her own suffering. The shopkeeper was still at the door and when he saw Mu Ruqing come out, he asked again, "Does Miss want to stay in the room?"
"No need. Tonight I will accompany grandmother. You can go down." Mu Ruqing did not say much and walked back with a dark face.
"Yes." The shopkeeper did not dare to say anything. If Mu Ruqing went back on her word, he would really be destroyed. Fortunately, no one was injured tonight...
Eldest servant girl had long returned to serve the old lady. When the old lady asked Lau Fenglan, eldest servant girl answered what Mu Ruqing said.
"Oh, it's still okay. Nothing happened. Money is an external object, there is no harm." The old lady leaned on the pillow and placed her hands on the blanket. She said with some relief, "Then what about Qing?"
"Fourth Miss sent Miss Liu to another room. She should be back by now." Just as eldest servant girl finished speaking, Mu Ruqing came in and sweetly called out, "Grandmother."
"You lass, you just went to the gates of hell and didn't have a good rest. What are you doing here?" Even though the old lady said so, she still wanted her to come.
"If it wasn't for Qing making grandmother worry tonight, how could grandmother be so angry? Of course Qing has to accompany grandmother properly to atone for my sins." Mu Ruqing went up and tucked the old lady under the blanket.
" This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the shopkeeper for not being strict with his management and today's trouble. " Once she said this, the old lady got angry, "This manor is still..."
"Grandmother, the shopkeeper was only careless for a moment, and it wasn't easy for him either. I'm not in a big deal either. Qing knew that her grandmother was compassionate, so she might as well let him off this time. " Mu Ruqing by the side acted coquettishly," Qing knows that grandmother was also frightened and that I am always by grandmother's side. Grandmother will let him off, okay? "
"Okay, okay, okay. You are the most annoying..."
" Qing, I like Grandmother the most... "
