Chapter 229: Little B*tch, Evidence (6)
“Go through the back door. Next to it is the first room on the right at the end of a long hallway.”
Lu Manman walked down the corridor.
There was a row of rooms at the back, which were probably reserved for the servants.
She followed the instructions the servant had given her and knocked on the first door.
Silence.
She knocked twice more.
There was still no sound in the room.
She held the doorknob and pushed open the door.
The room was empty.
She was shocked for a moment when she felt a murderous intent behind her.
She hurriedly turned around and saw that woman named Xiao Juan, who had been carrying Daisy’s body this morning, holding a mallet to her head.
“Xiao Juan, stop!” Lu Manman hurriedly called out to her.
Xiao Juan seemed to pause for a moment, and her hands were shaking.
She was probably shocked as well since she had not done this before.
“Put down that thing first. I know you’re innocent. I’ll help you,” Lu Manman said.
“What do you know?!” Xiao Juan was shocked.
“Calm down first,” Lu Manman said. “I know you’re upset because Madam scolded you. Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you. I know it has nothing to do with you.”
Lu Manman spoke quickly and anxiously.
She had almost exposed herself just now.
She quickly changed the topic, pretending not to know anything.
Xiao Juan looked at Lu Manman and the mallet in her hand.
“If you hurt me, do you think you can leave the Mo family’s home safely? Murder is a crime,” Lu Manman said as gently as possible. She saw a small suitcase in the room, and it was obvious that she had been packing.
Xiao Juan was shaking uncontrollably.
Lu Manman went up to her gently and held her hand. Then, she took the wooden mallet from her.
Tears rolled down Xiao Juan’s face. “I’m sorry, Young Madam. I’m really scared. I’m scared that Madam will get someone to hit me again. I didn’t do anything wrong!”
“Mm-hm, I know.” Lu Manman comforted her gently.
“I’ve been here since I was eighteen, and I’ve been serving Miss. It’s been six years now. Madam slapped me in front of so many servants. I really don’t know what I did wrong.” Xiao Juan cried very hard.
Lu Manman kept comforting her.
As she comforted her, she scanned her surroundings.
She scanned the room slowly.
The room was very simple. There was only a bed and a book stand. There were a few books on the table, and they looked a little messy at this point. She must have been in a rush to leave earlier, and that was why it was like this. She looked down and saw some traces of white hair on the bright floor. In the Mo family’s villa, only Daisy would have this kind of hair.
So Daisy came here often?!
Lu Manman’s heart skipped a beat. She helped Xiao Juan, who had calmed down, to sit on the bed. “Are you packing up and preparing to leave?”
“Yes, I don’t want to stay here anymore.” Xiao Juan nodded.
“I know the Mo family has always been generous with their employees. You should be earning more money here than anywhere else. Why do you want to leave?” Lu Manman asked her. “Just because you were hit by Madam today? Actually, Madam only slapped you because she was too angry and couldn’t find a place to vent her anger. It would have been the same for other people. You don’t have to be so calculative.”
Xiao Juan lowered her head. “I don’t want to leave either. My two younger brothers are about to attend university, and I have to support them, but…”
