The rules are weird, I bribed weird people in the copy

Chapter 214 Lin Mansion 9

Hearing the little maid's exclamation, Jingyue hurried forward to her side, and indeed saw the lost pair of jade bracelets in her hands.

"Where did you find it?"

Jingyue took the jade bracelet from the little maid and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the pair that belonged to the lady.

The little maid pointed to the bed.

"To answer Sister Jingyue's question, I found it from the bed leg. There was a hole dug at the bed leg, and the jade bracelet was hidden in the hole. It was also close to the wall. If I hadn't looked carefully, I might not have found it."

Jingyue moved closer to the bed leg and saw a very hidden hole there.

Ding You thought he had hidden it very well and probably thought everyone else was a fool.

Now that there is evidence, Ding You has nothing to say no matter how tough he tries.

Jingyue returned to the main hall with the jade bracelet she found.

The eldest lady sat in the main seat, holding a cup of tea.

The person standing behind him changed from Ding You to another maid.

Ding You stood in the middle of the main hall, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.

She was definitely nervous, but not as much as at the beginning.

She hid the jade bracelets in a very secret corner of her bedroom. She knew they would be easy to find in an ordinary cabinet drawer.

So she dug a hole at the bed leg and hid the jade bracelet in it, so that no one would find it.

However, just when she was hoping she wouldn't be discovered, Jingyue walked into the house.

She placed the jade bracelet she found on the table next to the eldest lady.

"Ma'am, the things were found in Ding You's bedroom."

Ding You looked up suddenly and stared at the pair of jade bracelets on the table in disbelief.

impossible!

She was hiding so well, how could she be found!

Ding You's heart was in an unstoppable state of collapse.

The system gave her two tasks. One was to steal the jade bracelet before 3 pm.

The other was to not be discovered before midnight tonight. As long as she survived today, her mission would be accomplished.

She had clearly completed half of it, but she was discovered at this moment.

If it weren't for the little maid from the kitchen bringing a bowl of mung bean soup to ask for credit, the lady wouldn't have thought of rewarding her.

Thinking of this, Ding You looked hatefully at Yun Chu who was almost ignored.

Of course Yun Chu hadn't left yet. Since the eldest lady hadn't said anything, she would continue to stay here shamelessly. It was a good opportunity to see how Ding You would handle the matter.

It also makes it convenient for her to observe the situation on the eldest lady's side.

Yun Chu naturally noticed Ding You's gaze. No matter how angry or resentful she was, there was nothing she could do. It was her own fault for not being able to hide her emotions well and thus being suspected.

Yun Chu looked at the eldest lady. It would depend on how she would punish Ding You.

If you get caught stealing from the master's house, you will not have a good ending. If the eldest lady was a little more ruthless, Ding You would probably end the dungeon directly.

I don’t know whether Ding You can turn the tide and escape from this dangerous situation.

The lady took the jade bracelet and examined it carefully, confirming that it was hers.

She put the jade bracelet back on the table and looked at Ding You with disappointment and coldness.

"Ding You, there are witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to say?"

Ding You was already panicking at this moment, his mind was blank and he couldn't think of any way to deal with the situation.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the eldest lady stood up from her seat with a sullen face and walked towards Ding You step by step. Every step seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

Madam rarely gets angry. Sometimes when servants make small mistakes, she just asks them to be more careful next time, but she won't punish them.

They themselves also felt that they were really happy to be able to work in the Madam's room. At least it was much better than Aunt Hua's.

However, they only dared to say such things in private. Everyone in the mansion knew that Concubine Hua had a domineering personality. If she knew what they talked about in private, they would probably be beaten with a stick.

The eldest lady walked up to Ding You and looked down at her with a cold expression, none of her usual gentleness and easy-going nature.

Ding You's face turned pale instantly. She was shaking all over, her lips trembling but she couldn't speak.

The eldest lady looked at Ding You, wondering why she did this.

In terms of status, she was already a very glorious maidservant beside the mistress of the house. She didn't have to do any heavy work and there were a bunch of maidservants vying to please her.

Her food, clothing and daily expenses are even better than those of ordinary ladies out there.

The saying that it is better to marry a maid from a rich family than a girl from a poor family is not just talk.

In terms of money, she, a first-class maid, received a monthly salary of one tael of silver, which was more than that of a laborer outside, not to mention the rewards during festivals and so on.

The eldest lady really couldn't understand why Ding You stole her things. If she told her her reasons, she wouldn't be so cruel as to ignore her.

She looked at Ding You disappointedly, then turned back to the main seat.

"Madam, how should we deal with Ding You?"

This was also the first time Jingyue encountered such a situation. As Ding You was a first-class maid, she couldn't deal with him casually.

You'd be crazy to waste your good life stealing things.

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, "I can't possibly keep her after she made such a big mistake. Take her indenture and let her leave the house. Whether she finds another master or marries someone else in the future is none of my business."

She was really a little sad. She thought she had done her best to treat the girls around her.

When they get married, she will prepare a fairly generous dowry for each of them.

Now that Ding You did this, she began to wonder if it was because she didn't discipline her subordinates well enough.

But after all, it was a relationship between master and servant, and she didn't want Ding You to be beaten and thrown out of the house.

So from now on, let’s just leave the bridges as bridges and the roads as roads.

However, the lady's kindness was like a bolt from the blue to Ding You.

Leaving the house?!

She couldn't be kicked out. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she left the Lin Mansion.

It would be fine if he could enter another copy, but what if he lost his life after leaving the Lin Mansion?

So she had to stay here no matter what.

In order to stay, Ding You fell to his knees, hugged the lady's legs tightly with both hands, and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

"Madam, I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please forgive me this time. I will never do it again!"

Ding You's voice was filled with despair and regret. Her tears rolled down like beads that had broken off a string, soaking the hem of the lady's skirt.

She hugged the lady's legs tightly, as if this was her last straw.

As long as I can stay, I don't mind kneeling.

"Madam, please don't kick me out of the house!" Ding You's voice was trembling with endless pleading.

"I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to make up for my mistake. As long as you don't drive me away, I am willing to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. I am willing to do anything!"

She held onto the lady's clothes tightly with both hands, as if she could grasp a glimmer of hope.

This was the first time she lowered herself so low.

There were so many maids and servants around looking at her in such a state of disgrace. She no longer looked as quiet and elegant as before.

But she can't care so much, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions.

The most important thing now is to convince the eldest lady to let her stay. She doesn't ask to continue working for the eldest lady, as long as she can stay, it will be good enough.

Ding You's eyes were filled with fear and despair. She begged the eldest lady desperately, praying that she could forgive her this time.
