Chapter 1052 Careful Design
Li Tonger's complexion changed.
In fact, she came to look for Lu Liangwei for another reason.
Because Lu Liangwei already knew about her commitment here, no matter what happened to this matter, the steward Yu who took her in could not stay out of it, and would even be convicted of it.
But steward Yu took good care of her, she couldn't drag him down.
She had lived a bad enough life, why bother to implicate the innocent?
She couldn't think of any other way to do this matter, so she could only come over and admit her mistake first, hoping that Lu Liangwei would not blame him for his anger.
"Please don't punish him, Ma'am. He only took me in because he saw me as pitiful. I am willing to bear all the guilt." Li Tong'er was a little hesitant at first, but when she said it, she realized that it was not so serious. Disaster. And after she finished speaking, she felt more at ease than ever before.
Lu Liangwei was also a little surprised, she would plead for a manager and was willing to bear all the consequences, which made her a little impressed.
At this time, Zhao Gan arrived with Steward Yu.
When Steward Yu saw Li Tonger kneeling there, his expression changed slightly, he hurried over, knelt down in front of Lu Liangwei, kowtowed, and said nervously: "Mother, Miss Tonger is new here. I am not yet familiar with the rules, if there is a conflict, please forgive her."
Lu Liangwei's eyes fell on him.
The chief manager of Huangzhuang is an eunuch, but the few stewards below are not.
The steward in front of him, in his thirties, looks a bit bookish, not like a steward, but a scholar.
Moreover, according to what he said, he didn't know Li Tong'er's identity.
"You recruited Li Tong'er?" Lu Liangwei asked.
Steward Yu nodded, "It's the little one. A month ago, the little one met her on the road and saw that she had nowhere to go, so he recruited her to work."
Lu Liang said playfully, "How did she tell you?"
Li Tong'er lowered his head when he heard this.
Steward Yu looked at Li Tong'er, and said truthfully: "At that time, she told me that she was abandoned by her husband's family, and her mother's family refused to take her in, so she had nowhere to go. Feeling complacent and addicted, it happened that there was a shortage of manpower in Huangzhuang, so I recruited her to work in Huangzhuang." Speaking of this, he added, "Miss Tong'er is very diligent. During this period, she worked diligently. , never lazy, I implore the empress, give her one more chance."
Lu Liang gave Li Tong'er a slightly surprised look.
She doesn't think it's like lying because she is in charge of things. Then, during this period of time, Li Tong'er really worked as a handyman in Huangzhuang for a month?
Li Tong'er's face turned red, and she was extremely ashamed, because she had lied to Steward Yu.
It's true that she was abandoned by her husband's family, but it's not that she has nowhere to go. It's because she wants to enter Huangzhuang, so that one day she can get close to the emperor.
Everyone present except Steward Yu knew that Li Tonger's entry into Huangzhuang was due to impure motives, and it was probably her deliberate design to meet Steward Yu by chance.
However, Lu Liangwei did not expose her.
"Yu Guanshi, as the steward of Huangzhuang, if you call people in so hastily, if it's an assassin pretending to be you, do you know the consequences?" Lu Liang said in a low voice.
Regardless of whether Guanshi Yu took in Li Tong'er out of good intentions or not, she and Long Yang would often come to this Huangzhuang, so it was inappropriate for him to call people in so hastily.
Steward Yu was full of shame, and lowered his head in fear, "It's a little dereliction of duty, and I ask the queen to punish me."
