A total of three people were caught last night, and the first two had testified that they were indeed going out for a tryst, and the population of the village was simple, so it was impossible for them to be spies sent by the He family.

Ma Bihe thought about it carefully, no wonder there were some secrets at home, including some of her privacy, when she told He Yuexiu, the other party was not surprised at all, maybe someone close to her tipped the news and mentioned it in advance.

She felt a chill in her heart, as if she didn't have a fig leaf on her body. For so many years, every detail of the family has been seen by the He family.

It's no wonder that Dad wanted to transfer the family's money, quietly, without telling her and her mother, and did it himself.

With her temperament, she concealed it from the outside world, but towards He Yuexiu, the cousin she grew up with, Ma Bihe was not defensive.

She thought about it all night last night, Xiao Zhou hated her mother, how could he let He Yuexiu befriend her? It's also because she is stupid, she hasn't found out for so many years, and she still treats her as a good sister with all her heart, and never refuses her request.

At that time, He Yuexiu had thick hair growing on her body, and it was she who licked her face and asked Li Haitang for help.

"Nurse, did you do it?"

Ma Bihe calmed down all night, and now she has adjusted her mentality. Instead of being hysterical, she asked questions in a calm manner.

"The old slave doesn't know what the eldest lady is talking about."

The nanny was a woman in her thirties, with a fair face, well-dressed, and looking very neat. She shook her head in a panic, expressing that she didn't know.

"Okay, then I'll be more straightforward. Are you going to He's house in a hurry to pack your bags at night?"

After the Ma family's wealth was gone, Mrs. Ma dismissed the servants, and returned everyone's deeds of sale, and told them that they would no longer be servants, but free agents. The helpers of Ma’s family are paid monthly.

If there are relatives and friends in the family who take refuge in them, they can leave, which is considered as the Ma family's reward for their hard work.

Therefore, the nanny can quibble, she just doesn't want to stay in Ma's house, because of her love for so many years, she has no face to say so, so she can only sneak away.

"Is that so? But I remember that you don't have any relatives in the border town."

A look of disappointment flashed in Ma Bihe's eyes. It seemed that the nanny was not going to tell the truth.

"Miss, these years, the old slave has been taken care of by you and your wife, and has no children around me, so I have accumulated some money, so..."

The nanny meant that she came to the Ma family's old house to repay her kindness, but right now, the Ma family doesn't need her anymore, so she wants to leave. She doesn't panic if she has money in her hand, she can buy a field by herself, rent it out and plant it, and there will be a harvest every year.

After the nanny finished speaking, Ma Bihe lowered her head and did not speak, while Mrs. Ma was still suffering from the blow she had suffered, distraught.

She has been kind to people all her life, but in the end, she fed the dogs with kindness, and all she met were heartbroken things!

Li Haitang didn't intend to interfere with the Ma family's housework, but this time it involved the He family, food, grass, and medicinal materials, all of which were related to the He family. She couldn't help but remind Ma Bihe to search for the nanny's package.

"Don't touch my stuff!"

The nanny struggled desperately, but it was a pity that Wu Futi slipped away her things, put them on the table, and opened them again in full view of everyone.

Two red gold hairpins, and some bits and pieces of jewelry, these are the savings of the Ma family for many years.

The Ma family is in the jewelry business, and they have never been harsh on their servants, and they often give rewards during the New Year.

The nanny took good care of Ma Bihe, and Mrs. Ma was not a stingy person. One of the red gold ruby ​​hairpins, worth several hundred taels of silver, was one of her dowry.

I rewarded the nanny, but the nanny didn't wear it. She said that she was a servant, and she couldn't break the rules, which would be unseemly.

These were nothing, but there was a purse underneath. Wu Fu opened it, and inside was a thick stack of banknotes, with a face value of roughly one hundred taels. After counting, there were three thousand taels of silver in total.

The rest are some scattered silver and copper plates, two ordinary jade pendants, purse handkerchiefs and other things.

"Miss Ma, the Ma family is indeed a rich family. Even a servant can give out thousands of taels of silver notes!"

Wu Fu looked envious, shook the bank note in his hand, and showed it to the rest of the room.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, in disbelief.

"Nurse, how do you explain these silver coins?"

Ma Bihe pressed on step by step, questioning the nanny, without giving the nanny a chance to find a reason, and said bluntly, "If it is theft, we will go to the yamen and talk about it. The family has never treated you badly."

These days, stealing is a felony. Li Haitang has been in jail for a while, and the unlucky brother next door seems to have stolen potatoes or a chicken, and almost passed through the prison.

Three thousand taels is not a small amount, if the nanny cannot tell the source of the banknote if it comes to court, she will inevitably be beaten first.

"No...not."

The banknotes are very convincing. She is a servant, and she can't accumulate so much money, so the nanny was dumbfounded. She plopped and knelt on the ground with her legs.

"Strictly speaking, you are not a servant of the Ma family, so just speak up if you have anything to say, is it a benefit from the He family?"

Ma Bihe rubbed the center of her brows, exhausted physically and mentally, but she couldn't fall down, and had to take care of everything at home.

Her father had just woken up, his condition was not good, and he might die at any time, she couldn't let her father go away with regrets.

When the nanny heard this, she was startled and uncertain. Ma Bihe was brought up by her, if there is no evidence, she would not say these words indiscriminately.

Being exposed face to face, the nanny had no choice but to tell the truth, the money was given by Xiao Zhou, and asked her to monitor every move of the house, and then went to the He family to report.

"Ma'am, miss, I'm sorry."

The nanny wiped her tears, she didn't want this at all.

About six or seven years ago, Xiao Zhou saw her secretly looking for the daughter she gave birth to at the market, so she kept it in mind and used her relationship to find her daughter first.

"Little Zhou said that he wants to make a deal with me. If I can send some news, my daughter will eat and drink well, and she will give me a sum of money."

It's easy to talk and negotiate, of course, if you don't eat a toast or fine wine, Xiao Zhou also has a trick, she plans to buy the nanny's daughter at a high price and sell it to the brothel to pick up customers!

When the nanny heard this, she was frightened and paralyzed, her poor girl!

The other party said that it was just sending news, and she would not do too much, such as murder and arson, so after careful consideration, she found that it would not have a big impact on the Ma family, so she agreed.

"That is to say, you have sent news to the He family for six or seven years."

Ma Bihe looked down, people are selfish, even though the Ma family has saved the nanny's life, and he himself promised to provide for the nanny, but it is not worth her own flesh and blood. For this reason, the nanny easily agreed to the conditions of the He family.
