Chapter 1124: Was Mu Jin Really Wronged?

Wang arrived at a private room called Fengyu Ge.He knocked on the door, "Young master, Miss Zong has arrived."As soon as Fang Jinshu heard the word "young master," she instinctively felt a shiver down...Chapter 1124: Could Mulan Really Be Wronged

Xiaoyue opened her mouth to explain to Mujin, "Madam, it's impossible for Mujin to seduce the Marquis. You know her character."

Fang Jinshi frowned, "Mujin has only been by my side for a short time, and I can't fully trust her yet."

Even if she didn't truly intend to seduce the Marquis, her honesty and recklessness would surely lead to trouble in the capital sooner or later.

After all, the capital is not a village. As the wife of Marquis Wuding, one inevitably has to deal with various gatherings of dignitaries. With her personality like Mu Jin's, how dare she take her out and rely on her

That's why she only took Xiaoyue out, leaving Mujin at home to guard the house.

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment. The madam's words were too complicated, but overall, the madam still believed in Mu Jin, didn't she

Seeing the emotions of the people below being incited by Qin Qianqian to directly attack Mulan, Fang Jinshi had to appear to stop it.

Enough.

Mu Jin was so frightened that her face turned pale. She still underestimated Qin Qianqian. She didn't expect so many people in the Hou Mansion to believe her so much and speak up for her.

No matter how I explained it, they just wouldn't believe me.

These people are insane, haven't they forgotten that their master is the Madam and the Marquis, not Qin Qianqian!

Thankfully, the madam returned at the crucial moment.

As soon as Fang Jinshu appeared, the expressions of all the servants changed. Some bowed their heads, and some even tried to sneak away.

"Halt, since you're all so curious about what happened in my and the Marquis's courtyard, I might as well explain everything to you."

Everyone quickly made way for Fang Jinshu, who walked to the front of Mu Jin and Qin Qianqian.

Mu Jin was both delighted and annoyed that Madam had saved her. She had wanted to help solve the Madam's problems, but instead she had messed things up and added more trouble for Madam.

Qin Qianqian was feeling guilty, her eyes darting nervously back and forth as she studied Fang Jinshi's expression, hoping to glean something from her face.

I don't know how much of the conversation between her and Mujin, Fang Jinshu heard. Who would she believe

"My lady."

Just as Mulan was about to speak, Fang Jinshi raised her hand to silence her, signaling that she didn't need to say more.

Then Qin Qianqian seized the opportunity to speak.

"Madam, I was merely going to bring a pot of iced tea to cool the Lord's throat. For Mujin's sake of vying for favor, she won't allow anyone besides herself to approach the Lord."

"I saw with my own eyes that she followed the Marquis into the room and was driven out by the Lord."

"Actually, it doesn't matter who brought the tea to the Marquis. It was clearly Mu Jin who wanted to seduce him, but she poured this dirty water on me instead."

"I was only doing my duty as a servant, madam. Even servants have dignity, I beg you to show me some mercy!"

After she finished speaking, Qin Qianqian knelt on the ground with a thud. The others were also moved by her words. The fear they had felt when they first saw Fang Jinshi disappeared, and they started to speak up for Qin Qianqian in twos and threes.

Qin Qianqian is indeed the daughter of Mr. Qin, with such eloquence, she can twist black into white and make it sound reasonable. Even if she were in her shoes, she wouldn't be able to prove her innocence without evidence.

How much better, let alone someone as tongue-tied as Mulan! How could she possibly compare to Qin Qianqian

Mu Jin was afraid that Fang Jinxiu would believe Qin Qianqian's words, so she knelt down with a thud.

"Madam."

She wanted to explain, but Fang Jinshu raised her hand to stop her. Xiaoyue pulled her up and whispered.

"Rest assured, madam, I have everything under control."

This matter originated from Zong Yu's side. Mu Jin didn't catch any concrete evidence of Qin Qianqian trying to seduce Zong Yu, so she slapped the other person instead and gave the other party a handle on her.

The matter of seduction is currently unprovable, but whether she seduced Zongyu's reputation can be easily resolved. As long as Ah Yu steps forward and says a word, he can clear Mujin's name.

As soon as she thought of this, Zongyu appeared in her mind like a listening device, just in time.

His tall and slender frame exuded an undeniable sense of pressure. Those below him unconsciously lowered their eyes, no one daring to meet his gaze.

"I called Hibiscus in to ask her some questions, and after I was done, I let her go."

Mujin felt relieved, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders. However, Qin Qianqian's face turned pale, and her teeth were grinding together in anger.

The Marquis was always one who disliked talking much, yet today he'd actually stood up to explain Mujin's innocence. Could it be that he had taken a liking to her

Qin Qianqian's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of crisis surged in from all directions.

The commoners all looked at each other in dismay, especially those who had spoken up for Qin Qianqian. Each one wished they could bury their heads in the ground and hope that the Marquis and his wife couldn't see them.

Now that things are clear, Mojin, come here.

Mu Jin walked to Fang Jinshi's side, unclear about what the madam was going to do, and watched her eagerly.

Qin Qianqian also wanted to slip away, but under Zong Yu and Fang Jinshi's watchful eyes, she didn't dare to move at all.

"Qianqian, you just kept saying that Mujin wants to seduce the Marquis and asked me to take action. Now what do you say"

Qin Qianqian gritted her teeth. The situation was unfavorable, so she had to concede for now. But even after she apologized, Mu Jin slapped her across the face, leaving a mark that was undeniable evidence of her wrongdoing.

This is evidence of Mujin slandering and bullying her!

If Fang Jinshui does not punish Mucun, it would be seen as condoning and showing favoritism, which is unfair.

Today, both the left and right hibiscuses are destined for bad luck. Let's see if they dare to show off in front of me again.

"My lady, it was I who wronged Mujin."

"But the fact that she slandered me for seducing the Marquis and even slapped me, leaving my face swollen, is true. You see my face, it's all swollen from her slap."

Mujin couldn't stand seeing Qin Qianqian like this, acting all innocent. She was so angry she almost rushed forward to fight her, but luckily Xiao Yue pulled her back in time.

Fāng Jǐnxiù glanced at her face, “This little face, beaten so badly.”

When Qin Qianqian heard this, she was overjoyed. It seemed that Fang Jinshu would still stand on her side for her father's sake. Thinking about it, her father was the tutor of the second son of the Hou Mansion. A teacher for a day is a father for life. How dare she not give her face.

Just as she was about to gloat, a sharp slap landed on the other side of her cheek.

The commoners widened their eyes and silently covered their mouths, afraid to let out a gasp of surprise.

Fang Jinshu rubbed her aching palm, Zong Yu stepped forward and showed off their affection, his eyes full of love as he kneaded it for her.

"I'm not really cut out for this whole fighting thing, my hand hurts just from shaking it."

Zhong Yu felt sorry and said, "Next time, let them come. There's no need for you to do it yourself."

Xiaoyue cried out to heaven the moment Fang Jinshi made her move. The madam's palm strike really felt satisfying. Hearing the marquis' words, she nodded eagerly.

"As the Master said, tasks like tidying up are best left to the maidservants. There's no need for Madam to do it herself."

Mu Jin was also dumbfounded, staring at Fang Jinshu. She had thought that Madam might believe her, and she had reflected on herself too. She hadn't caught any evidence and directly hit Qin Qianqian. Being bitten back by her was indeed because she was too impulsive.

In order not to embarrass her mistress, she was even prepared to swallow her anger and accept punishment.

I didn't expect the Madam to directly hit Qin Qianqian. This, the Madam's thoughts, ordinary people really can't figure out.

It puzzled Qin Qianqian the most why Fang Jinshui would resort to violence. Originally, she already had tears welling up in her eyes, and now they were streaming down her face uncontrollably, filled with indignation.

"Madam! It was she who falsely accused me of mistreating her, why are you beating me"

Fang Jinshu turned his head to look at her, his expression instantly turning cold.

"I'll give you another chance to admit your mistake. Did Mujin truly wrongly accuse you"

Qin Qianqian was taken aback, a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes. Did Fang Jinshu know something's words seriously.However, Fang Jinshi is indeed impressive.She just never promises what she can't do.After saying that, Fu Ming himself was stunned."That's right, since you know that in your heart,...
