Chapter 73 Lying
Butler Wang is a man in his early forties and has been a butler in Guoan Hou Mansion for many years.
He was invited over in the middle of the night and saw Jin Sheng busy and bowed properly: "Miss Sheng, please come to me."
Jin Sheng sat down, glanced at him, and asked, "Butler Wang, how many years have you been in the mansion?"
"Miss Sheng, it's been ten years."
"How many years have you been a butler?"
"Miss Sheng, it's been eight years."
Jin Sheng nodded and said, "Butler Wang has been in the mansion for so many years. I believe he has regarded this place as his home. If he leaves the Guoan Hou Mansion that day, Butler Wang will probably be reluctant to leave it."
Butler Wang was shocked and hurriedly said, "Of course I can't bear to leave."
Jin Sheng smiled at her and said, "I have a few words to ask you, you have to answer truthfully, it is related to your future."
"Miss Sheng, just ask."
Although he was surprised, he was not in a hurry.
Miss Sheng is only fourteen years old. She was so fussy some time ago that she was like a child who had never grown up. Why did it suddenly make people feel a little scared?
"Where did Zheng Cheng come from, and who brought him to the mansion?"
Butler Wang hesitated for a moment. It turned out that he was asking Zheng Cheng about it. He had known about it before. Zheng Cheng asked Master Hou to kill him, but now he has been thrown out.
In the mansion, it is nothing to die a servant, and he is not willing to die, so he dares to get involved in Aunt Zheng.
Even though it was a matter of a short time, everyone knew it in private. How could such a thing really be suppressed? Even if Master Hou didn't let him say it, there were always people who would say it, and there were always people who wanted to know such a scandal, the better.
"Miss Sheng, when Zheng Cheng was recruiting long-term workers in the mansion, he saw that he was quite clever, so he recruited him in."
"How long has Zheng Cheng been in the mansion?"
"Miss Sheng, it's probably one or two months."
"Where is Zheng Cheng's contract to sell his body?"
“It’s all in the warehouse.”
"Then you go and bring me Zheng Cheng's body sale contract."
Butler Wang hurriedly said: "Miss Sheng, the warehouse is not something that can be accessed by the small ones, but as far as the young knows, the contract for selling the body is in the small warehouse, and the key to the small warehouse is in the Hou Ye's place. The small ones dare not disturb him."
Jin Sheng was in a meditative state and seemed to be unsure of this matter.
At this time, Madam Chang said to her: "There are two warehouses in the mansion, one is a large warehouse to store all kinds of food. The keys to the large warehouse were in Mrs. Hou's hands and Aunt Zhou's hands."
Jin Sheng knew this naturally. Later, her mother passed away. Because she had taken over half of the Lord's gifts during the time when Aunt Zhou was sick, the key to the large warehouse left by her mother was in her hands.
Madam Chang naturally knew that the key was in her hands, and just pretended to explain: "There is another small warehouse. The small warehouse stores all kinds of cloth, precious ingredients, rare treasures, fine jewelry, calligraphy, antiques and other devices, as well as real estate deeds, as well as slaves' body deeds. In the past, the wife also had the keys in the small warehouse, but later the wife passed away, and now only Mr. Hou has the keys in the small warehouse."
Madam Chang used to serve her wife and was very clear about this matter.
The small warehouse is not as good as an ordinary warehouse. Even Aunt Zhou is in charge of many affairs in the mansion, she does not have the key to the small warehouse. Her wife has just passed away, so she has not been helped as a main house. Such a key will not be handed over to her.
Jin Sheng nodded in a clear way and stood up: "Butler Wang, go back and wait, I will send you over at any time."
Butler Wang responded repeatedly and stepped back.
When Butler Wang left, Jin Sheng called Bo Ye and said to her: "Bo Ye, you have followed Butler Wang carefully. Don't let him find out. Report his whereabouts at any time."
Thin leaves should be laid.
Jin Sheng also walked out, and the other servants who often served each other closely followed each other.
The wet nurse followed her and said, "Miss, do you suspect that Butler Wang is lying?"
"There are indeed lies. A month or two ago, the mansion was driving people. When will the long-term workers be hired? Zheng Cheng may have been involved in the mansion."
The wet nurse said angrily: "These slaves really deserve to be cured. I see, everyone is full of Aunt Zhou's people."
Jin Sheng sneered: "Yes, Aunt Zhou is indeed a lot of people, and even Butler Wang listened to her."
Madam Feng said: "Butler Wang naturally listened to her. Butler Wang was invited by Aunt Zhou. It is said that he was a distant cousin of Aunt Zhou. He is very good at making accounts and is flexible. Master Hou asked him to do the management in the mansion."
There is actually this layer.
There were no such things in her previous life, and she had no contact with Butler Wang on weekdays, so she didn't know about these things.
After hearing that Madam Chang said this, she already knew about it eighty or ninety-nine times.
Jin Sheng believed in Aunt Zheng's words. Since she believed in Aunt Zheng, she had reason to suspect Zheng Cheng. He was just a long-term worker. How could he have such thoughts about Aunt Zheng and do such things to Aunt Zheng when all his servants were there? It must have been instructed by someone.
Someone promised him good, and this person was Aunt Zhou.
Jin Sheng also thought of what Xiangjun said to her. The second uncle next door once favored a concubine very much. Later, the concubine was found to be incompatible with the long-time worker in the mansion and was dealt with.
How similar things are!
After all the precautions, he fell into Aunt Zhou's conspiracy.

Jin Sheng came over again. Gu Caihua had a headache. When he heard the guard's notice in the study, he refused: "Just say I'm asleep, let her go back."
Jin Sheng was rejected, so she rushed over. Since she was the wife of the mansion, the guards didn't dare to stop her. After all, men and women were also guarded.
Jin Sheng came directly outside the study and could see it from the outside. There was a light inside, so where did my father go to bed?
I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep tonight if something like this happened.
"Dad, I have something urgent to come to you, I'm going to come in." Jin Sheng shouted outside.
Gu Caihua was a little angry and said nothing. She even came over and treated his words as if they were not done.
Gu Caihua was so angry that the door was pushed open, and Jin Sheng walked in. Gu Caihua saw her angry. He knew that she must have been pleading for Aunt Zheng, so he blurted out: "Don't mention this woman again. This woman did this thing, and I didn't kill her on the spot..." Gu Caihua was so angry that his chest was fluttering.
He didn't kill her on the spot, he was already very kind.
Jin Sheng closed the door and turned to him and said, "Dad, the thing is not what you think. I just asked Aunt Zheng and my servants. They didn't know what was going on. They only knew that the long-term worker and Aunt Zheng were originally fellow villagers. They only met more than a month ago. The long-term worker recognized Aunt Zheng and also mentioned her hometown. Later, he sent Aunt Zheng several pots of flowers. I had just asked Mr. Wang, who said that Zheng Cheng had hired a long-term worker in the mansion a month ago, but I thought about it carefully. Many people in the mansion a month or two ago were driven out. When did they hire a long-term worker?"
Jin Sheng stopped talking here, and Gu Caihua didn't know what she meant, so he looked at her.
His mind was very confused, except for anger, but also sadness.
Jin Sheng sighed. He knew that his father would not go deeper, so he said again: "Zheng Cheng suddenly touched her by the purpose of delivering flowers to Aunt Zheng. She was frightened at that time, but you were just here. Huamei was so scared that she had no idea. She just wanted to avoid letting others look at her, so as not to humiliate Aunt Zheng's innocence. But you happened to come. Didn't you say that all this was a coincidence?"
Gu Caihua didn't want to hear her nonsense, so he said to her: "If I'm still deceived by her by chance, you can go out for me."
"Dad, take out this slave's contract to sell your body and give me a look. This slave's contract is the key to proving Aunt Zheng's innocence."
"Look at how useful these are?" Gu Caihua was so angry that he didn't know what secrets he had hidden in a contract for selling his body.
"Of course it's useful. Dad, the sixth brother is still young. If you can't give Aunt Zheng a cleansing, it will become a stain on the sixth brother's life." Jin Sheng insisted on his tone.
Gu Caihua's heart moved slightly! Thinking of the child who looked very similar to him, he felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a child prodigy. He could remember any book after reading it at a glance, and he could also speak very well. He had deliberately tested him several times, and he loved it very much.
Over the years, the Gu family has never had a great knowledge. Although Yanjing has achieved success, it is a military general.
He felt more than once that Xiang Yun would be very knowledgeable in the future and would not be worse than Lord Su now.
"You can give her a clean promise after watching the contract of sale?" He naturally hoped that Aunt Zheng did not betray him and was a clean person. After all, he really liked her.
"Of course, dad, go to the warehouse and find this slave's body sale contract."
Gu Caihua nodded, turned around and took the key from a secret secret space in the study, and walked out.
Jin Sheng followed him to the warehouse, and the contracts of the slaves under the master were all in the hands of the master himself, but the contracts of the long-time workers and servants in the mansion were all in the hands of Gu Caihua.
He quickly carried a small box out of many boxes of sizes.
The group walked out of the warehouse, returned to the study again, and then Gu Caihua opened the contract one by one to find Zheng Cheng's contract.
There are many contracts for selling body in it, and he didn't know everyone in the mansion, so he searched for a while and finally found that Zheng Cheng's contract was not available.
"No." Gu Caihua was a little confused. How could he not have Zheng Cheng's contract to sell his body?
Jin Sheng sneered in her heart, this was exactly what she wanted to see.
It’s right if there is no one. The person was found by Aunt Zhou. Even if there is a contract to sell his body, it should be in the hands of Aunt Zhou.
"Dad, it was Mr. Wang who told me that Zheng Cheng's contract for sale was on your behalf. He said that Zheng Cheng had recruited it in one or two months, but the contract for sale is not on your behalf now. This means that Zheng Cheng was not recruited in formally through the mansion, but why did Mr. Wang lie? There are many doubts about this matter. You should call Mr. Wang over and interrogate it strictly."
After this incident, Gu Caihua believed her.
Close the box of the contract, Gu Caihua walked out and ordered the guards: "Go and call Butler Wang here." He was now full of anger.
