CHAPTER 429

"I believe in Madam Hu..." Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

POW!

A resounding slap landed on her face, shutting her up, involuntarily. This time, Li Jing ensured that the slap was hotter and louder than the first.

"I love that confidence," Li Jing suddenly said. "But perhaps I may have to keep giving you to correct your brain since the first one I gave you only stirred up the trash within."

"Young miss, please. I am ready to talk and tell you everything but please do not take me to jail."

"You have the nerve to negotiate with me. Even if we do not make the deal, I would get it all out of you, understood? So I suggest you be a good girl and remain silent."

"Young Miss! Please."

"Hahhaaa..." A sinister smile appeared on Wang Ju’s face after Li Jing spoke."You see, what did I tell you? You cannot trust her but Madam would..."

POW!

Another resounding slap landed on her cheeks, interrupting her next set of words. "I see you haven’t learnt a thing or two. I am not a weak girl mind you and watch as I bring even your madam down. Thank goodness she picked a blabbermouth as her spy, now I have more evidence."

Before they knew what was happening, tears began to flow down Wang Ju’s face. It wasn’t like she was actually a very strong girl. No... all she was trying to do was to put on a façade just so that she could cripple Li Jing’s resolve and she would not be sent to jail.

But right now, she could see the seething rage deep within Li Jing’s eyes and knew that there was no hope.

The young miss was determined to see this through to the end.

"What are you waiting for?" She asked the bodyguards. "Take them away, now!"

The guards did not waste another minute and quickly grabbed the girls but Bei Ai was determined to plead her way out of this one. "Get up."

"No, let me be. Young miss, please. I swear I would not do it again."

"Of course you won’t, that is why you must serve your time in prison so that the lesson would be well engraved into your heart and mind." She looked up at the guard still waiting for Bei Ai to get up. "And what are you still doing? Get her off me."

Even after giving her order, she did not wait to be helped. She leaned down and yanked, Bei Ai’s hands away from her body, quickly stepping away and exiting the room for them.

"Young Miss, please..."

****

Right after she was done with Bei Ai and Wang Ju, she called for a meeting with all the workers in the house.

By the time everyone finished assembling there, Li Jing made sure that the traitors were brought to kneel before the house as she addressed them.

"I know we just briefly spoke, but it calls for something important," Li Jing began. "I know you all may be wondering why I have these two kneel down before you here. Worry not."

No one spoke but she could read it in their eyes. They were confused as to why they actually knelt down. Was it that they fought because of Alix’s issue and it ended up pissing Li Jing off or what?

"Kneeling before you here are the actual traitors in this house."

GASP!

"I know you may not believe me, but it is the truth and just to prove my point..." she turned towards the kitchen and smiled. "Come out please."

Soon they all heard the door open and close but they did not turn their heads as they feared to do anything that would annoy Li Jing.

But when the person began to walk closer, they could not resist it anymore as all of them were eager to know who it was.

Was it the patriarch or was it someone important?

All heads turned to the side and the second they laid eyes on her, their mouth hung agape as they stared disbelieving at the person present.

"Welcome, Alix. As you all know, this morning, I told you all that there was a traitor in our midst."

"Yes, ma."

"Great, Most of you here thought it was Alix but no. That was just a strategy to catch the true culprits and make them bring themselves out on their own. Kneeling before you here is Wang Ju and Bei Ai, the real traitors of my grand auntie, Hu Qi."

Instantly, murmurings arose amongst the maids and men serving.

"Silence," she ordered before she continued. "As I said earlier on, the perpetrators would be sent to prison. I wasn’t bluffing when I made mention of it. As of this moment, Bei Ai and Wang Ju are no longer workers of this household and they would be made to face the consequences of their actions. All I await is the police."

The murmurings ensued again, as all the girls aired their views amongst themselves.

"You see her... look at that Wang Ju."

"I understand. She was the one who was attacking Alix more earlier on."

"Isn’t it obvious now? Even then it was obvious. I could smell something fishy about the way she was defensive and attacking."

"Trust me, I saw it too but I did not want to voice it out to prevent young miss from suspecting me wrongly."

"To think that even Bei Ai was in cohort with her. Wow!"

"True, she on the other hand played her role very well. No one would even notice her."

"Hmm, what wouldn’t we see? I am glad though, happy that the truth has been exposed. Fu Wei was right along. This really is an eye-opener."

Li Jing smiled. She could have stopped them, but she intended on letting them voice out their opinions to the hearing of the traitors.

What could hurt more than hearing your friends say that about you, especially when it was true and there was nothing you could say to defend yourself.

"Let this be a warning to you all.. My eyes are everywhere and I would be watching."
