Chapter 573 Your Witness
Chapter 573 Your Witness
Gong Yimian had a gentle face and didn't mind Gu Qingyi's indifferent expression, and explained:
"Qing Yi, why do you think so, even though I haven't held a wedding with Shi Feng yet, I can still be regarded as the eldest mistress of the Zhan family.
Oh, I know why you are upset, you think the punishment I just said to them is not enough, right?
Well then, you should deal with these two servants yourself. "
After Gong Yimian finished speaking, she took a step back and said to the two servants:
"Look, I can't help you, you should kneel down and beg Second Young Mistress to forgive you."
Both of them had a bit of panic on their faces, Zhan's family fortune was so powerful, if they really wanted to investigate the mistakes they almost made today, they might really have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
The two were about to kneel down when Gu Qingyi said coldly:
"Don't kneel to me, I know you've tried your best."
The two of them didn't know what Gu Qingyi meant by saying this, and their faces became even more frightened:
"Second Young Mistress, please don't drive me away. I got this job with great difficulty. My younger brother is still studying, and my mother is not in good health. My family relies on my income as a servant in the Zhan family. I just really Do your best, please..."
"Second young lady, we really didn't mean to..."
Gu Qingyi was a little helpless, the two of them were scared out of their wits by what Gong Yimian said before, she could only say:
"I didn't blame you, and I didn't intend to drive you away. In the future, you just need to do your best to take care of your mother-in-law and do your job well. Don't be so afraid."
Gong Yimian's eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips twitched:
"Qingyi, you are really kind. You can let them go when such a big thing happened today."
Gu Qingyi glanced at Gong Yimian, saw that the two were still a little anxious, and said:
"I have some questions for you now, can you answer them truthfully?"
The two exchanged a glance and nodded:
"What does Second Young Mistress want to ask?"
Gu Qingyi glanced at the messy scene on the first floor below:
"Have you ever been in charge of cleaning? Several people are responsible for such a cart."
"Usually there is only one person. There are rollers under this kind of cart, and the transport is also some daily necessities or garbage, so it is not heavy, and it is enough for one person to handle."
After listening to their explanation, Gu Qingyi nodded and was about to speak when Gong Yimian interrupted:
"I see, Qingyi, you want to find the person who is in charge of the cart today, right? Indeed, the person in charge of the cart is the culprit today. If it wasn't for her dereliction of duty, it wouldn't have caused such a serious situation. s consequence."
After Gong Yimian finished speaking self-righteously, she said seriously to the two of them:
"Quickly tell me, who is in charge of this cart today?"
The two shrank their necks in shock from Gong Yimian's tone, and pointed at a girl in the crowd not far from the corridor:
"Yes...it's Xiao Zhang..."
Gu Qingyi looked over and found that the person they pointed at was the girl who brought her juice yesterday with trembling hands.
Xiao Zhang had already placed the order and his whole body was stiff. Now that he heard that the owner was going to hold him accountable, his face turned pale with fright, and his lips trembled:
"I... I don't know why the cart moves by itself... I obviously parked it..."
Xiao Zhang's explanation was intermittent, Gong Yimian walked towards her, raised his hand and gave her a slap:
"You're still making unreasonable words here. Do you know that Second Young Mistress almost died today, and you're still saying that it's not your responsibility. If it wasn't your fault, why would the cart hit Second Young Mistress?"
Half of Xiao Zhang's face was swollen by the slap, and tears burst out of his eyes instantly:
"I... I didn't. I got the wheels stuck. It's impossible for the car... to run into the Second Young Mistress by myself..."
Gong Yimian raised her hand and was about to slap her:
"You still quibble..."
However, this slap did not have time to slap it down, because it was grabbed by Gu Qingyi.
Seeing that it was Gu Qingyi, Gong Yimian's stern expression faded away, and she immediately put on a gentle smile. The speed of changing her face was rare:
"Qingyi, I know you have a kind heart, but such a servant will cause serious trouble in the future if you don't teach him.
She is new here, knowing that she made such a big mistake today, she will definitely say that it was not her fault, but this matter is not because of her fault, but it can be because of someone, right?
I hit her for her own good, to let her have a long memory, so as not to make this mistake again in the future. "
Gu Qingyi looked at her rhetoric, and said lightly:
"Xiao Zhang, let me ask you, even if you did forget to lock the wheels of the cart today, can the cart move by itself?"
Xiao Zhang cried, covered his face and shook his head:
"No, even if the wheels are not locked and the corridor is carpeted, the cart won't move unless you push it."
Gong Yimian's face changed slightly, but she was still puzzled:
"Qingyi, are you asking this question because you suspect that the cart bumped into you today because someone did it on purpose?"
Gu Qingyi pursed her lips, watched Gong Yimian continue to play tricks here, and shook off Gong Yimian's hand:
"Yes."
Gong Yimian rubbed her wrist, seeing Gu Qingyi's determined expression, the smile on her face faded a bit:
"But the castle is only equipped with surveillance cameras on the outside, and the second floor is the owner's residence. For the privacy of the owner, it seems that there is no surveillance system installed on the second floor. It's hard to check."
Gong Yimian had been to the castle many times before, so she didn't know exactly which places in the castle were monitored.
Gu Qingyi had already seen this.
"What does it matter? I still have witnesses without surveillance."
"Witness?"
Gong Yimian's eyes flickered, but she quickly calmed down, it's impossible, no one saw her when she did it, Gu Qingyi now said that there was a witness, it was just defrauding her:
"Qingyi, since you have already figured it out, why haven't you called out the witnesses? Who is going to kill you today? It's so daring."
Gu Qingyi glanced at her coldly, like a mirror in her heart.
She looked at the Zhan family servants crowded in the corridor, and said loudly:
"During this half hour, you are the ones working on the second floor of Zhan Family, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding their heads, Gong Yimian asked amusedly:
"Qingyi, is your witness one of them? Or, do you suspect that the person who is against you is among them?"
Gu Qingyi did not answer Gong Yimian's question, but continued to ask:
"Since you both work on the second floor, you should all be able to testify for each other.
In the 10 minutes just now, you told each other what the other was doing, where it was done, where it stood, and what it said. Is this a problem for you? "
As soon as Gu Qingyi finished speaking, Xiao Zhang, who was crying while covering his face, immediately raised his hand and said loudly:
"I have a witness. I was with Xiaohui just now, cleaning up coffee cups in the tea room. Xiaohui can testify for me."
