After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 561 Audacious

Qiudong went to see Aunt Liu and found that she was indeed sick and her condition was very serious. She had not gotten out of bed for nearly a month. Now Layue was the only elderly person in the mansion, so Layue had the final say on all matters in the mansion.

In fact, when the owner of a mansion is often away from home, all his work becomes relatively easy.

After all, the master didn't live here often, so the servants only needed to focus on guarding the mansion. Most of the daily affairs were trivial matters, and there were almost no major events.

Since the master was not at home, the rules and order in the mansion were relatively relaxed. The servants did not have to worry about the master's various requests and tempers all the time, and could arrange their work time and tasks more freely.

Of course, this does not mean that they can slack off. After all, maintaining the safety and cleanliness of this mansion is still a vital responsibility.

However, even so, there are still some minor troubles occasionally, such as damaged facilities in a corner that need to be repaired in time, or flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard that need to be pruned and watered regularly.

But these are just minor issues, and as long as the servants work together and do their respective duties, they can be quickly resolved.

It was in such a relaxed and free environment, like warm and moist soil, that continuously nourished Layue's already restless heart, making his ambition grow even more.

For Layue, who had always been a maid, this was an unprecedented new experience - for the first time in her life, she tasted the wonderful feeling of having "power".

So, driven by desire and ambition, Layue began to play tricks carefully behind the back of Aunt Liu, who cared for her so much.

She quietly increased her daily expenses, squeezing out more from her already limited money. Then, she used the extra money to quietly recruit some people to the mansion.

As time went by, Layue carefully planned and gradually implemented her plan.

Those who were secretly bought into the mansion by her gradually became her loyal followers and helpers. In this way, in this seemingly peaceful mansion, a "small world" that completely belongs to La Yue is quietly forming...

Not only that, when the news that Qian Duoduo was the biological daughter of the Yang family first spread in the capital, those who were good at scheming and wanted to cling to the powerful and wealthy were like sharks smelling blood, and they all moved in.

They racked their brains to find out the location of the Qian Mansion, and then couldn't wait to come to their door, trying to establish a relationship with the Qian family so that they could climb up to the high branch of the Yang Mansion.

Among these people, there are naturally some with evil intentions.

On the surface, they fawned and kowtowed to the people in the Qian Mansion, but secretly they were making all kinds of wishful calculations. In such a chaotic situation, Layue saw the opportunity.

She knew these people's thoughts and intentions very well, so she cleverly used this to seek personal gain.

She thought that since her master didn't come here often, no one would know even if she did something.

Afterwards, La Yue found the right time to secretly contact those people who came to establish a relationship with him, and hinted that as long as the other party was willing to pay a certain amount of money, he could help them to build a bridge between the Qian family and the Yang family.

Faced with such tempting conditions, many people were tempted and generously donated piles of silver to Layue. In this way, Layue quietly accepted the ill-gotten gains one after another. . . . . .

After listening to Qiu Dong's report, Qian Duoduo was extremely angry.

But more of it is sadness.

The skinny maidservant had turned into a fraudster for money.

"Layue, do you have anything else to say?"

"Miss, Miss! You must believe me!" Layue knelt down and ran to Qian Duoduo's legs, hugged Qian Duoduo's thighs and cried:

"I am so wronged! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty to the Qian family. How could I possibly do such a heinous act as betraying the Qian family?

I was just deceived for a moment and accepted the small amount of money they gave me, but I can swear to God that I have never revealed any confidential matters of our house to anyone else.

Miss, please be discerning and clear my name! If I am deemed a traitor, I will have no way to defend myself, and I will never be able to clear myself of this injustice even if I jump into the Yellow River! Woo woo woo..."

"Oh? There is something confidential in the Qian Mansion? What is it? Tell me about it! Hmm? I have been in this mansion for so long, how come I didn't know there is such a thing as a confidential matter?"

Qian Duo's originally gentle voice now seemed to be soaked in frost, so cold that it made people shudder.

Her beautiful eyes no longer had the gentleness and agility of the past, but were replaced by deep sadness and disappointment. She tightly grasped the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.

She has always believed that she treated Layue well and never treated him unfairly in any way.

But now, she heard from Layue that there were important secrets in the Qian Mansion that she was completely unaware of. How could she accept this?

The feeling of being betrayed by the person she trusted the most was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart and making her heartbroken.

However, rather than simply feeling sad and upset, at this moment, she felt a chill that penetrated her bones, which was constantly surging from the bottom of her heart...

"Ah? No, no, absolutely not. There is no secret in the Qian Mansion. There is really nothing. I just made it up. It's all my fault. I just made it up!"

When Layue heard the familiar Qian Duoduo's voice become so cold and scary, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

She knew very well that her usually gentle and kind young lady actually spoke to them in such a harsh tone and was obviously really angry.

Thinking of this, Layue couldn't help but panic, and his face turned pale in an instant.

She waved her hands in panic, denying incoherently what she had just said; at the same time, as if she suddenly came to her senses, she began to slap herself in the face desperately.

Each hit was extremely heavy, and the crisp sound of the slaps echoed in the air, as if to slap away the mistakes he had just made.
