Jing Zhuozhuo held the tortoise shell tightly and shook it with her hands. Her eyes were red and she had yet to open her mouth. Jing Tiancheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy as he glared at Mingyue, who was kowtowing.

Mingyue was a maidservant sent by Concubine Hui. How could Jing Tiancheng not know her intentions? However, Jing Tiancheng didn't pay attention to it because he felt it was irrelevant. If it wasn't for Jing Zhuozhuo, who had to protect him, Jing Tiancheng would have at most handed the Bright Moon over to Concubine Hui to punish.

At that time, Mingyue would probably make an appearance and then arrogantly return to Jing Zhuozhuo's side to monitor the situation as a maidservant. Jing Zhuozhuo was planning this show to pull out Concubine Hui's spies in her yard. It would be too much of a loss if the plot developed that way.

Actually, when Jing Zhuozhuo and Banna saw Brightmoon coming out of her room at the Zhaoge Garden entrance, they had arranged for her to do two things. One of them had already been completed, and the other was the matter of Brightmoon.

According to the information in Jing Zhuozhuo's previous life, she knew that every time Mingyue stole something from her room, she would hide it well and then find a pawnshop she was familiar with to sell it at a fixed time. Coincidentally, today was the fixed day. Jing Zhuozhuo had expected Mingyue to leave the house with something in her arms, so she had asked Banana to secretly put the Bu Huang that Jing Tiancheng gave to her into the ornament that Mingyue had stolen. Then, she had asked her to capture Mingyue through the delivery of medicine.

With the drama just now that was even more important than his own life, Jing Tiancheng would naturally be angrier towards Mingyue than towards Jing Zhuozhuo. Thus, he would definitely hand over the authority to handle this matter to Jing Zhuozhuo. At the same time, it would also make Jing Tiancheng feel that Jing Zhuozhuo respected his father, giving him a feeling of being needed.

This method could be said to be both beautiful and beneficial to Jing Zhuozhuo.

As Jing Zhuozhuo expected, Jing Tiancheng didn't say a word as he watched Mingyue break the skin on her forehead, while enchanting red roses bloomed on the shiny black marble floor.

The room immediately quieted down. Only the sound of his forehead hitting the ground could be heard.

Jing Chuchu stood at the side, looked at Jing Tiancheng and then at Jing Zhuozhuo. She felt that everything in front of her was very inconvenient. Mingyue was Concubine Hui's woman, yet Jing Zhuozhuo dared to insult her in such a manner. She really didn't put Concubine Hui in her eyes. So what if he had Jing Tiancheng's backing? He still didn't have the title of a direct descendant.

"Dad, since Concubine Hui is in charge of the backyard, why don't we leave Mingyue in Concubine Hui's hands?"

Brightmoon was still useful as a spy for the time being. If Jing Zhuozhuo chased her away because of what happened today, it would be difficult for her to get another one in the future. Hence, Jing Chuchu opened her mouth and said.

Hearing Jing Chuchu pleading for her life, Ming Yue tried even harder. A few more drops of blood appeared on the ground.

"Father, your daughter knows that Mingyue was a servant sent over by Concubine Hui. She should have given Mingyue to Concubine Hui to handle the matter that had happened. However, it was not good for Brightmoon to steal something, but she had to steal Bu Fang, who had always treated his daughter as a treasure. This was a gift from his father on the first day his daughter returned home. His daughter especially cherished this gift. Originally, her daughter didn't want to heavily punish Mingyue, but when she thought about how she stole her daughter's treasure, her daughter's heart ached. "If my daughter doesn't punish Mingyue severely today, then First Daughter of Jing Family will be in even more of a waste."

Jing Zhuozhuo's every word was filled with respect for Jing Tiancheng. She didn't even want to punish Mingyue, but she was angry because she touched her treasure, so she wanted to punish her. The reason why she started everything was all because she valued Jing Tiancheng's step shake. This way, Jing Tiancheng would agree without any hesitation.

"This kind of bold and lowly slave should be taught a lesson and punished severely. "Zhuozhuo, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Thank you, Father."

When Jing Zhuozhuo heard this, she was delighted. She looked at Jing Tiancheng with a little more respect and worship in her eyes. That god-like gaze made Jing Tiancheng feel like he was floating in the air. He felt that even though they had been separated for eight years, Jing Zhuozhuo still had deep feelings for him, her father, and her daughter.

Jing Chuchu's expression immediately changed when she heard Jing Tiancheng leave this matter to Jing Zhuozhuo. She said anxiously, "Dad, it's better if we leave this matter to Concubine Hui. She is, after all, in charge of matters in the backyard, and you are busy with matters in the backyard. Furthermore, elder sister is not in a good condition right now. If a maid was angered and hurt her body, it would be a big deal. "

Hearing Jing Chuchu's words, Jing Zhuozhuo couldn't help but lower her head to cover the mockery in her eyes.

She was so stupid that she didn't realize Jing Tiancheng was so despotic and dared to talk about Concubine Hui running the backyard. He was only a bit smart, yet he thought he was smarter than others. He didn't know that he would only do some disgusting things.

Even if she was really thinking for Jing Zhuozhuo's sake, she had put Concubine Hui in front of Jing Tiancheng. That would be slapping Jing Tiancheng's face.

This time, she wanted to see what trouble Jing Chuchu would bring her.

"You can't even discipline a servant properly, and you still have the nerve to call yourself the manager of the backyard? I think Concubine Hui is becoming more and more exhausted. She needs to find someone to help her deal with the matters at home. "

Jing Chuchu didn't dare to speak again after hearing Jing Tiancheng's words. Even if she wasn't willing to lose the chess piece, Ming Yue, she wouldn't let a chess piece ruin the impression Concubine Hui had of Jing Tiancheng. He lowered his head and bit his lip in anger, standing to the side and not saying anything.

Brightmoon had thought that she could survive this ordeal. But now, the sounds of her kowtowing grew even louder.

However, this time, no one pleaded for her sake.

Jing Zhuozhuo stared at Mingyue's figure that was kowtowing nonstop with a cold expression, feeling that her anger had been greatly relieved. Thinking about how she could easily use him in her previous life because of her cooperation with Jing Chuchu, she felt a sense of hatred, and wished that she could kill Mingyue as soon as possible.

"Since father has already given Mingyue to daughter to handle, then daughter will make the decision to ask Mingyue to go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment of thirty strokes, and then sell her to a tooth grandma to not be allowed to step into the Jing Family from now on. Father, do you think it's okay for your daughter to do this? "

Jing Zhuozhuo raised her head and looked cautiously at Jing Tiancheng with a hint of desire in her eyes.

Jing Tiancheng had already said that he would leave this matter to her, so there was no reason for her to do so. He smiled and nodded without saying anything else.

"Miss, please ask Mingyue to go and receive her punishment, but if we sell her, we don't have enough helpers in our Zhaoge Garden. "My lady is still sick, what would it be like if I let an accident happen to the banana?"

"Aiya, I forgot about that."

Jing Zhuozhuo exclaimed in a slightly vexed manner after hearing the words of the banana. Looking at Mingyue's troubled expression, she knew that staying was not for sale. Her thin white teeth bit her pink lips, looking as pitiful as they could get.

"Zhuozhuo's courtyard doesn't have any maidservants other than the bananas?"

Jing Tiancheng couldn't help but ask as he saw their expressions. In Jing Family, even a servant girl like Jing Chuchu would have two first-rate maidservants, four second-rate maidservants, ten coarse maidservants, and some other women.

However, after hearing the meaning behind her words, Jing Zhuozhuo's courtyard only had her and Mingyue as her maidservants. Jing Tiancheng couldn't help but furrow his brows. He then remembered that the one in charge was Concubine Hui, so he shifted his gaze towards Jing Chuchu.

"What's wrong with your aunt? Doesn't she know that there are only two maids in Zhuozhuo's courtyard?" Is this how my direct daughter of Jing Family was defiled by an aunt? "

Looking at how Jing Tiancheng questioned Jing Chuchu righteously, Jing Zhuozhuo only felt that it was funny.

She had already said yesterday that she did not have a servant girl in her courtyard. Although he had promised to find a maid for her in front of a few princes, Jing Zhuozhuo knew that her father had already forgotten about it. Now it would seem that her guess was true. Fortunately, she was prepared. With the timely reminder from the banana, Jing Tiancheng would definitely get Concubine Hui to send a few servant girls over.

She, Jing Zhuozhuo, also happened to use the matter of the bright moon to blatantly reject the person she sent over. When the time came, she would find another group of innocent ones. She could just choose a few among them.

"Dad, don't blame Concubine Hui. Maybe the family's affairs were too busy that they were forgotten."

"Hmph, it's just some minor matters. How complicated can it be?" If she can't handle it, she can just get someone to help her. "

Jing Chuchu originally wanted to speak up for Concubine Hui, but once again, she coincidentally bumped into Jing Tiancheng's anger. Hearing him mention asking someone to help Concubine Hui, Jing Chuchu was anxious and scared, but she didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid that if she angered Jing Tiancheng, Concubine Hui's authority would be lost.

"Father, since Concubine Hui is busy, why not let your daughter buy some maids herself?" If your daughter were to personally see it, she would know the truth and you wouldn't have to worry about your father losing the treasure that he sent. "

Jing Zhuozhuo spoke in a timely manner, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness. There was also a rare mischievous look in her eyes. Liu Zhen Wei nodded in agreement with her.

After that, Jing Tiancheng left. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Jing Chuchu to make medicine for Jing Zhuozhuo.

Jing Zhuozhuo did not expect Jing Tiancheng's order. However, since this was an opportunity to defeat Jing Chuchu's spirit, she was very willing to do so.

Not long after Jing Tiancheng left the Zhaoge Garden, the butler, Jing Fu, brought a few servant girls, who were carrying some accessories, saying that they were given to Jing Zhuozhuo by the master. The maidservants placed all the items on the table in the room. The rows of items were glittering with golden light. It was obvious that they were extremely expensive.

Coincidentally, Jing Chuchu walked in with a gloomy face and a tray as soon as these items were put down. When she saw the high-end goods on the table that she didn't even have in her hands, she was so angry that her entire body trembled. She fiercely placed the tray on the table and turned around to leave.

"Miss, you see, the master has given you many things. He even said that if you lack money, you can go to Concubine Hui and get as much as you want, as long as you can find a few trusted maids. Miss, this is the first time Master has been good to you. "

The banana was full of joy as she looked at the piece of gold jewelry on the table. Her eyes were filled with joy.

However, Jing Zhuozhuo didn't reply her words. Instead, she narrowed her eyes in a slightly absent-minded manner as she looked at the pile of treasures on the table. She only felt that it was extremely dazzling.

These things didn't come because Jing Tiancheng was good to her, they were brought in exchange for her worshipping and worshipping him all the time today. Jing Tiancheng was the Patriarch of Jing Family, and his Jing Family was the number one family in Dongding Country. What he lacked the most was a sense of superiority. The people around him flattered him, and they were obedient in front of him. That was why he felt comfortable and didn't ignore them.

However, that was not what Jing Zhuozhuo wanted. She wanted to live freely without fawning over anyone.

In his previous life, he had done too many stupid things, and after so many years of hard work, he had finally died miserably. In this life, every step she took, she had to meticulously plan out a path for herself. Step by step, she had to carve out a solid piece of sky for herself. Without any helpers, she would nurture them herself.

"Big sister, are you resting?"
