Concubine Jing's chest pounded even faster due to the stifled anger. Even though the Two Guards are the Lord's Subordinate. But he was sure they had been bribed by Aunt He.
"Servant! Quickly call Kong Ying and Lian Yong!" The Great Lord certainly knew who the two Guards were referring to.
After that the room became quiet and the atmosphere felt very cold, making some people feel depressed.
Shortly after, Guards Kong Ying and Lian Yong arrived. They were two Men in their early thirties, ordinary appearance only but having a fit and muscular body structure. Moreover, their breathing was calm and a glimpse could be seen that they were Martial Masters.
"Bawahan salutes the Great Lord." Said Kong Ying and Lian Yong respectfully.
"Did you see Consort Jing holding or touching Gingseng?" The Great Lord immediately asked.
"Answer to you, Subordinate has never seen it." With a calm demeanor the two answered in unison, there were no signs of lying as if they really did not see it.
"What's? no way! That's clear..."
Aunt He and Jiang Linxin were very surprised to hear the answers of the two.
Just before Aunt He finished speaking, Jiang Linxin grabbed onto his shoulder and gestured to shut up.
"Why doesn't Second Miss let Aunt He continue speaking? what is impossible? what is clear?" concubine Jing's voice turned aggressive.
The Great Lord also glared at the second Princess then looked at Auntie. "Clearly what? say quickly!"
Now Aunt He was aware of her words. Yet not knowing why the two Guards whom he had bribed, were now acting as if they knew nothing.
Could it...
As a thought emerged in his eyes, he looked at Concubine Jing with gloomy eyes. "Previous Guards Kong Ying and Lian Yong had seen Concubine Jing go to the Warehouse to take Gingseng and give it to the Nujing Servant. Why are you not telling the truth now? or could it be that you guys have received something precious from Consort Jing?"
"We're not like that! And we're telling the truth." Kong Ying and Lian Yong denied, sincere expressions were hard to find any loopholes of lies.
"no? if not why are you claiming false evidence?" ask Aunt He.
"How do you know they're presenting false evidence? besides you didn't show up at the Warehouse from start to finish, or did you accuse me of just one-sided remarks by the Nujing Servant? if that means you really want to frame me! " Concubine Jing replied.
"You..." Now it was Aunt He's turn to not be able to deny.
"Stop! Since the party in question is the Nujing Servant, then call him now!" The Great Lord interrupted accompanied by his increasingly gloomy expression.
The Nujing waiter and the others were outside the room and of course the voices inside sounded very clear. Making the Nujing Servant rush in after hearing the Great Lord's order.
After arriving inside, he saluted then said. "Master, Guards Kong Ying and Lian Yong saw that Nubi was waiting outside the Warehouse. Concubine Jing walked in and took Gingseng herself. But now they were not telling the truth, if so weren't they siding with Consort Jing?"
"Nujing, is your brain in trouble? you obviously went into the Warehouse with me and you were the one holding the Gingseng from the start until you brought it to the East Courtyard. Oho! Could it be you who put poison on that Gingseng?" concubine Jing's speech was full of sneers.
"I don't!" The Nujing waiter immediately denied it.
It wasn't her who poisoned her, but if this matter couldn't be dealt with as planned, she was afraid that Aunt He would force her to become the Black Goat.
"You say no, then everyone will believe? did I say no earlier? but why are you still arresting me?" Concubine Jing's Reply.
"Because you're afraid that my concubine will regain Household rights after recovery, so you used a lowly way to make my concubine worse, the goal is for you to retain Household authority longer." The Nuejing waiter did not want to lose.
"Oh! Then I can also say that you set me up so that I lose this position!" Concubine Jing's words were the same as before.
"Concubine Jing, how can you say this? just to frame you, would my mother have to risk her own life?" Jiang Linxin could not remain silent anymore.
"Concubine Jing, what else can you say?" The Great Lord has a headache as this matter gets more convoluted.
"Master, the concubine is innocent!" Concubine Jing confirmed.
"The only way to prove whether Concubine Jing is guilty or not is to check her directly into Yuxiang Pavilion." Aunt He immediately said.
"No need!" Consort Jing refused.
This made some people even more suspicious that the poisoning problem of Consort Mo was indeed related to him.
"Aunt He, if it was me who poisoned your Concubine, do you think I would hide the evidence in my Pavilion and wait for everyone to come catch me? WHOOP! I'm not that stupid! There is one person who can prove my innocence!" Concubine Jing said mockingly, not as worried as before.
Hearing this made Aunt He and Jiang Linxin uneasy. "Who is that? is it Jiang Xingyu?" anxious mind both.
"Who is that guy?" The Great Lord asked.
"In reply to Mister, when the Concubine brought the Nujing Servant into the Storage Warehouse, the Chief Servant also saw her. The concubine was sure the Chief Servant would tell the truth and would not take sides." Consort Jing remained calm.
This time Jiang Linxin and Aunt He broke out in cold sweat, as they did not expect the Chief Servant to be in the Warehouse as well.
The Great Lord frowned as he said to Guard Lian Yong. "Hurry up and call the Chief Servant."
"Yes." Yeah." Guard Lian Yong rushed out after replying.
The butler knew something was wrong in the East Courtyard, so he had been waiting outside. So quickly, he followed Guardian Lian Yong in.
Without waiting for the Chief Servant to salute, the Great Lord said. "Concubine Jing said when she went to the Warehouse with the Servant, did you see her? now tell me what you saw! You can't hide anything."
"Yes, Sir. Thas right. Yesterday Consort Jing said that she wanted to see the Warehouse Accountant Book this year, so I took advantage of the free time to sort through the Accountant Book before giving it to Consort Jing and this morning I just finished it."
"I saw Concubine Jing heading towards the Warehouse with Aunt Lu and Servant Nujing. I also saw Aunt Lu waiting outside while Concubine Jing walked in with Waiter Nujing. After that the Nujing Servant picked up the Gingseng box and took it away after taking it down in the Accountant Book." Said the Chief Servant.
Accountant Room and Storage Warehouse are on the same Page. Accountant Room outside while Warehouse inside. So if you want to get into the Warehouse, you naturally have to pass through the Accountant Room. In addition, anyone who takes goods from the Warehouse, must record it in the Accountant Book and must include the name.
When the Chief Servant's Speech came out, it completely reversed Jiang Linxin's mind.
"Aunt He, do you still think the Chief Servant has received something valuable from me? Waitress Nujing came with me into the barn, do you think I'm stupid enough to do bad things in front of her?" Concubine Jing sneered again.
Of course Aunt He and Jiang Linxin did not think so. Because the Chief Servant cannot be bribed by anyone and his loyalty is only to the Great Lord. With this, they had already lost. But they won't just admit it.
Now the only way is to drag the Black Goat.
Aunt He looked at Waiter Nujing and asked along with an expression of heartache. "Nujing, it's you! Concubine Mo treated you well, why are you doing this to her?"
