"I planned to call over a procuress in two days to sell that servant girl plus several other worrisome servants, and then buy several quick-witted servants to replace them."
Mu Qingya quickly explained, "I, I truly don't know why it turned out like this?"
"Oh?" Qiao Mu's expression showed that she didn't really believe her. She swept her gaze over Mu Qingya. "From what you say, you didn't check on her after throwing her into the woodshed?"
Mu Qingya nodded. She was anxious, but she was afraid that explaining too much would incur Qiao Mu's annoyance.
She clenched her fists, and her breathing was also unsteady.
The middle-aged man behind her, Mu Liang, couldn't stand it anymore. He creased his brows and said, "Crown Prince Consort, Madam manages the household affairs of the entire Mu Clan. There are many miscellaneous matters to attend to every day. Xiaoxing is but a mere servant girl. How could Madam keep watch over the woodshed the entire time?"
