Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554: Chapter 551: Regret for Life_1

"You go back and see what other items are missing..." Bai Qingyan looked at the inner clothes in Chun Tao’s hand. "Give me these inner clothes first!"

Chun Tao bit her lip, got up, handed the inner clothes to Bai Qingyan, and left the main room.

Dong Qingyue sat steadily like a mountain, without any expression, completely leaving the handling to Bai Qingyan.

Madam Dong understood Bai Qingyan’s intention, picked up the teacup in her hand, and asked casually, "Since you said these inner clothes were left by Chun Tao at your place, has Chun Tao given you other tokens of love? It’s unlikely that Chun Tao has been in Dong Mansion for only a few days and already reached the point where she can’t hold back her feelings for you."

Luo Fugui hurriedly said, "There are no other tokens of love, but Chun Tao did express her admiration for me and wanted to marry me. I dare not deceive Madam Dong; these inner clothes weren’t left by Chun Tao. I hid them secretly because I was afraid she’d deny taking advantage of me."

Mrs. Cui sneered. "Chun Tao is the only close maid the Princess of Zhen brought to Dengzhou. Chun Tao serves her almost every day. I wonder when Chun Tao had the time to meet you."

Luo Fugui seemed to be waiting for someone to ask him when he met Chun Tao, and he quickly said, "It was on August 20th. That day, the Princess of Zhen went to Lord Dong’s study, and Chun Tao called Qiu Huan to fetch me. As soon as I arrived... Chun Tao seduced me."

Nanny Wang’s heart sank. She thought that her niece might have indeed collaborated with Luo Fugui in some scheme against Bai Qingyan’s maid.

Bai Qingyan’s eyes narrowed. Qiu Huan...

That day, Chun Tao told Bai Qingyan that Qiu Huan tricked her by pretending to be summoned by Nanny Wang and took her to a secluded place, sending away the two maids who were following, and knelt down to apologize to Chun Tao.

Holding Chun Tao’s inner clothes, Bai Qingyan said with a faint smile, "Then let’s call Qiu Huan over and ask her!"

Nanny Wang tightened her palm and responded, personally going out to summon Qiu Huan, intending to warn her.

Aunt Luo, who was kneeling in the yard under the scorching sun, felt dizzy. When she saw Nanny Wang coming out, she quickly straightened her back. "Nanny Wang!"

Nanny Wang didn’t even glance at Aunt Luo, crossing the courtyard gate directly.

Soon, Nanny Wang found Qiu Huan outside Madam Dong’s courtyard. She immediately called, "Qiu Huan! Come over here!"

When Qiu Huan saw Nanny Wang’s pale face, she knew Nanny Wang was looking for her and hurriedly stepped forward. "Aunt, has something happened inside?"

Nanny Wang grabbed Qiu Huan’s arm and pulled her aside, gritting her teeth. "Be honest with me, are you involved with that useless brother of Aunt Luo, scheming against the Princess of Zhen’s close maid?"

Qiu Huan’s palm tightened, she guiltily said, "No! How could I do such a thing!"

"The Princess of Zhen wants to question you. You’d better be honest; otherwise... If the Princess wants your life, I won’t save you! Do you understand?" Nanny Wang warned seriously.
