Chapter 15: Forced Confession

"Second lady, we have already said what should be said. We really didn't steal the jade pendant, and as for why it appeared in our house, I'm afraid I can't give you an explanation. Li Ma said truthfully.

"Heh~ Listening to your tone, could it be that I wronged you? Wronged you? You don't know why the jade pendant is in your house, you still have a reason? "Cuicui is aggressive.

"I was indeed wronged, and I did ignore it, but I didn't feel wronged, because I knew that the second lady would give us back a clean slate!" Mama Li's burning eyes made Zhao Yuting feel that the time had come.

Zhao Yuting understands that Mama Li is pinning all her hopes on her now, because she has not embarrassed them from the beginning to the beginning tonight.

So she gave Li's mother an illusion, that is, since the thing has been found, she will not pursue it too much, she just wants to know the truth.

She thinks that as long as I can convince me and explain it reasonably, then it is my business to clear their name.

But what Zhao Yuting has to do next is to completely destroy the hope she brought to Li's mother!

"Mama Li, I really want to return your innocence, and I don't want to believe that you stole the jade pendant. However, while you say that you are not a thief, you cannot explain why Jade Pei appeared in your house. No matter how sorry I am for the eldest lady's child, I am partial to you, and I can't be so indistinguishable from right and wrong. If it was really you who did it, and I listened to your lies this time, and you went to steal things in the future, wouldn't I help the abuse? So, since you can't explain clearly, for the sake of the peace of our Taishi Mansion in the future, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go! I can only wronged you. Zhao Yuting looked at Mama Li helplessly.

This passage was taught to her by Cuicui in advance, Cuicui's plan is to let herself pretend to be a good person first, she will play the bad guy, and Mama Li will definitely ask for help from herself.

Sure enough, everything was planned, and this Cuicui still had two hits. I thought she was just a little smart, but now it seems that she can help her do a lot of things, and Zhao Yuting is happy in her heart.

"Steward Li~"

"Madame, you say." The housekeeper turned to Zhao Yuting.

"Tell me, how does our government punish thieves?"

"Madam, for so many years in our house, there has never been a thief. However, there are family rules handed down from our ancestors, which are written in this house: Those who steal will be escorted to the yamen and expelled from the house, and they will not be allowed to enter the house for generations. ”

"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Since the family rules have made it clear how to punish them, let's follow the family rules. Zhao Yuting looked at the wonderful expressions of Li Ma and thought it was very interesting.

Especially when they heard the expulsion from the mansion, all three of them instantly raised their heads, their eyes widened, their mouths opened, and their eyes stared at the butler without blinking.

"Someone~" Zhao Yuting said faintly.

"Wait! Second lady! Wait a minute! I say! I say! I'll tell you all about it! Mama Li hurriedly climbed a few steps forward.

"I stole this jade pendant! Before I went to your courtyard, I really didn't know that this jade pendant existed, and I only saw it after I entered your house today. After you took Cuicui away, I accidentally saw that the door of your house was open, and I saw that there was no one else, so I became ill-intentioned. I asked my brother and sister to go back and get something for me, and I went into your house while I had a spare time. After entering, I was really attracted by the large gift box in front of me, but I still took a turn first. When I saw this jade pendant, I couldn't take my eyes off it, and then I didn't think about it, and immediately put the jade pendant in my pocket. When I got back from work, I hid it, and soon you came. That's how it happened, I did it alone, and it had nothing to do with the children! Mother Li said in a hurry, she was afraid that Zhao Yuting would let the brother and sister take to the government.

"It's not like that! That's not true! Mama Li, you didn't let us go back, and you didn't steal anything......" Xiao Mo said and cried.

Mama Li turned her back to Xiao Shu, he didn't know what Mama Li said, looking at Xiao Mo crying inexplicably, Xiao Shu was even more clueless.

"Second lady, what I said is the truth, I don't dare to lie to you again at this time. I was wrong, and I was so afraid of being punished that I lied. Stealing is even more wrong, and I was also confused to make such a big mistake. Madame, it's all wrong with me, you punish me! Madam, you can beat me, scold me, punish me however you want, but I beg you not to take me to the yamen, and not to drive me out of the house. Madam, slave begs for you~" Mama Li kowtowed to Zhao Yuting while admitting her mistake.

While clasping his hands together in prayer, he wept. This crying made Zhao Yuting so unhappy, she wanted to laugh out loud.

But she felt that this was not enough, she wanted to double the damage caused to her by Yang Ruotong.

"Hey~Mama Li~ It's not that I'm ruthless! It's just that if I open the net today, then how will I manage other people in the future? Everyone will think that I am easy to talk to, and they will ignore me, and they will do whatever they want, isn't this Taishifu chaotic? You say yes, right? Zhao Yuting stood up and walked in front of Li's mother.

"No, ma'am, as long as you don't follow the rules of the house, you can punish anything, and you think it's enough to keep your majesty from being violated in any way. Let me stay and be punished enough so that people will think you are both human and just. Madam, you are doing well~ I am really not afraid of other punishments! Please let me stay~ Please! Mother Li kept kowtowing in front of Zhao Yuting's feet, Zhao Yuting was in a good mood now, and she had a feeling of stepping on Yang Ruotong under her feet.
