Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

Chen Kang sat in the house to keep warm and looked out the door from time to time.

After finally seeing Nanxi come in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, “Miss Nanxi, can I go back first?”

Nanxi smiled at him and reassured him: “Steward Chen, the medicine is not ready yet. You have to wait until you have finished drinking the medicine.”

“It’s been two hours, and the medicine hasn’t been fried yet?” Chen Kang was a little anxious, “Then I’ll go back to the room and change clothes. I’m just sweating, so I’m not feeling well.”

Nanxi opened his mouth slightly and responded, “I was negligent.”

After she finished speaking, she called out and called a servant to prepare hot water and new clothes for Chen Kang.

Chen Kang was stunned on the spot, and after regaining his senses, he quickly waved his hand to refuse: “No no no, where do I need such trouble? I’ll go back by myself…”

“Steward Chen.” Nan Xi suddenly became serious, “The princess personally ordered you to take care of you. If you catch a cold on the way back like this, how should I explain to the princess? Please be patient and don’t be impatient. After drinking the medicine, I’ll take you home myself.”

When she said this, Chen Kang knew that she could not get out of this room at this moment.

Thinking of this, he was so angry that he wanted to attack on the spot, but after all, he was worried about something, he flicked his sleeves and sat back in the chair, sneering and threatening: “Knowing that you guys are famous people in front of the princess, I don’t dare to I’ll mess with you. But Miss Nanxi, I just hope that you will always be in power.”

Nanxi ignored him and left.

It was not until the sun slanted westward that Nanxi received a new order from Cao Mi.

With her eyes, she motioned to the maid beside her to bring the medicine that had been boiled for a long time. She poured it into Chen Kang directly when she entered the door, and then took her to Cao Mi’s yard.

Chen Kang was so angry that he scolded and threatened Nanxi several times along the way.

Nanxi’s ignoring attitude actually fueled his arrogance. His mouth was spewing dirty words, as if Nanxi kneeling at his feet and begging for mercy had become a sure thing.

After entering the hall, Chen Kang realized that all the servants who could be named in the backyard were gathered in the hall. They bowed their heads, as if they were waiting for him to come.

Until this moment, his heartbeat only missed a few beats.

Nanxi took him through the hall until he came to Cao Mi and knelt down. Chen Kang raised his head inadvertently and was meeting Cao Mi’s quiet eyes. The emotion of fear finally wrapped around his spine like a gangrene.

He swallowed nervously and tasted a faint smell of blood.

Cao Mi did not attack on the spot, but waved them to get up, and asked with concern, “Is Director Chen feeling better?”

Chen Kang froze and pulled out a smile, “The villain’s life is cheap, he can’t die easily, Princess Lao is worried.”

“Well, it looks much better than in the morning.” Cao Mi nodded, “Then Manager Chen should be able to explain what is going on with these ledgers, right?”

She took a few account books from Dong Li’s hands behind her and flipped through them at will, “On the thirteenth day of July, 30 taels of silver are in the account. On the fifteenth day of September, forty taels of silver…”

The hall was quiet. For a while, there was only the sound of flipping pages and Cao Mi’s cold tone, which made Chen Kang’s ears buzz.

He froze on the spot, “This, this account book…”

Cao Mi explained with a smile, “It was when Bei Si went into the house in the morning to look for the wooden box and brought it there.”

In fact, she had already passed the air with Beisi, and after letting Beisi enter Chen Kang’s room, in addition to looking for the wooden box, she must pay attention to other important things.

Beisi tossed in the room for a long time in the morning, turning Chen Kang’s house upside down. In addition to the wooden box, he also found ledgers and some gold and silver jewelry.

It’s just that he couldn’t see the strangeness of the ledger at the time, so he didn’t take it out on the spot.

After that, Cao Mi took people away and secretly sent people to guard Chen Kang’s house, just to make a time difference so that Xia Lin and others did not know that the things in Chen Kang’s house had been searched by her.

Afterwards, Dong Li took someone to check the ledger carefully, and found the evidence of the crime. Cao Mi then asked Nanxi to bring Chen Kang over to confront him.

Chen Kang was sluggish for a moment when the matter was revealed. After he came back to his senses, he suddenly shouted in a frenzy: “Princess Mingjian, these ledgers are not from villains at all!”

Cao Mi sneered, “The things found in your house are not yours?”

Chen Kang was bitten to death, “The villain really doesn’t know! The villain is just a servant, and he has no habit of keeping accounts at all? The villain can’t understand this thing, let alone the villain’s stuff. As for why the account book is in my hands In the room…there are so many people up and down the house, as long as you have the heart, it is not difficult to stuff something into the small room.”

Chen Kang knew in his heart that once the matter was exposed, what awaited him would be an extremely tragic end, and he would never recognize this ledger!

And he also believes that as long as he doesn’t let go, Cao Mi can’t do anything about him.

Cao Mi smiled, “Yes, although the items were found in Chen’s office, it can’t prove that they belonged to Chen’s office.”

She paused, then suddenly said, “However, how should Manager Chen explain these things?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Beisi stepped forward and took out a few IOUs from her arms.

“Wang Fei, this is what the villain got from the Lai Cai casino in the north of the city. Manager Chen’s IOU in the casino this year. It not only has the signature of Manager Chen, but also the fingerprints that Manager Chen pressed.”

Cao Mi nodded, “Bring the ink pads and see if the fingerprints belong to Steward Chen.” She glanced at Chen Kang gently, and added, “So as not to wrong Steward Chen again.”

Hearing her order, Dong Li and the others acted quickly, pressing Chen Kang to press their fingerprints.

Sure enough, after comparison, the fingerprints on the IOUs belong to Chen Kang himself.

Dong Li handed the two fingerprints to Cao Mi, and said, “My lord, the account book and the IOU from the casino manager in the casino just match! These account books belong to the manager Chen!”

Cao Mi nodded, and then interrogated, “Chen Kang, what else do you have to say? This money is definitely not something that you, a small palace steward, can have. Who is it with you?”

Since Chen Kang was pressed down and pressed his fingerprints, he knew that his situation was over. At this time, he was sitting on the ground with a pale complexion. He didn’t respond when he heard Cao Mi’s questioning, and seemed to have lost all his strength.

Cao Mi didn’t need his identification either. She looked around and said, “Chen Kang, a small butler, is incapable of committing such a crime. I have already found out the whole story. If the mastermind is willing to take the initiative to plead guilty, I will I will read it in the past ten years of love, and let it go lightly.”

She said these words to everyone in the hall, but her eyes fell directly on Xia Lin, and the reminder was already very obvious.

But there was silence in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads in silence.
