Chapter 2899: Counterattack in the palace: Revenge of the little maid (Part 7)

With Wang Zhong’s words, before Maid Li or Rong De Sheng could say anything, there was gossip that came from around her.

“Yo! So she seduced a guard.”

“Ze, ze, ze, why don’t you think about it. She used to be a first class maid of Concubine Li and now that she is sent to the clothes washing department, naturally she can’t accept it.”

“Shameless, vixens are all like this.”

The comments around her were very unpleasant, but that was natural.

The previous host had been punished and sent to the clothes washing department. There were many people that she had offended in the past.

In the palace, it was easy to pile things on and hard to send coal when needed. In this situation, people would naturally stay away from her and look down on her.

“Luo Qing Chen, is what Wang Zhong said true?” Maid Li knitted her brows and looked at her with a sharp gaze.

Luo Qing Chen instantly kneeled down and said, “Of course it’s not true.”

“You liar!” Wang Zhong gritted his teeth, “You lured me and wanted to kill me with a sword, a woman like you……”

“Humph……” Luo Qing Chen gave a soft snort. She revealed a cold smile as she cut Wang Zhong off.

Rong De Sheng looked at her and said, “What are you smiling at?”

“Not to mention if a woman like me can struggle with a man.” Luo Qing Chen coldly narrowed her eyes that had a faint glimmer in them. She looked at Rong De Sheng and said, “Ladies in the palace are not allowed to carry weapons, but Guard Wang Zhong said that I pulled out a sword to attack him. Doesn’t Manager Rong find this laughable?”

“Sir……” Wang Zhong immediately knelt down, “This servant promises that everything I said is true. As long as you search this lowly servant’s belongings, you will definitely find the sword!”

“If you don’t, what will Guard Wang Zhong do?” Luo Qing Chen coldly looked at him, “Slandering an innocent maid, that is a serious crime.”

“Enough.” Rong De Sheng narrowed his eyes, “If you go back and forth like this, who can I trust?” Luo Qing Chen, do you dare let us search your belongings?”

Luo Qing Chen lowered her head and said, “If Manager Rong wishes to search this servant’s belongings, this servant naturally doesn’t dare object. But what if there isn’t a sword like Guard Wang Zhong said?”

“I will punish him severely for slandering a maid.”

“Alright.” Luo Qing Chen suddenly looked up and her cold eyes fell onto Wang Zhong, “Let’s search then!”

Want to find the Phoenix Dance Sword among her belongings? What kind of a dream was that?

A quarter of an hour later, the guards came out of the room and said, “We haven’t found any weapons such as a sword.”

“Impossible.” Wang Zhong desperately shook his head, “This maid……Yesterday…..She brought out a sword with a red tassel yesterday and put it on my neck……”

“Wang Zhong, I have no grudge against you, why are you slandering me?” Luo Qing Chen looked up slightly with faint tears in her eyes, “I’ve heard that you locked the shed from the inside and Maid Li sent people as soon as you called for help, but you were alone in the room. How can you still frame me like this?”

“I……” Wang Zhong desperately gritted his teeth, “She’s clearly……”

“Enough.” Rong De Sheng said with a straight face, “Someone, take Wang Zhong down and give him fifty paddlings. Then remove him from his position as a guard.”

“Sir……This servant was wronged, sir……”

Luo Qing Chen kneeled and said, “Thank you for giving justice to this servant.”

“Alright, what are you standing around for?” Maid Li waved her hand, “Go do work.”

“Yes, miss.”
