章節 194: Chapter 194: Investigating One by One How did Qing Yan recover??
"This is the truth you wanted." Qing Yan clicked on 3x speed playback.
At half-past five in the afternoon, a truck stopped at the gate. Zhang Ma, accompanied by several servants, went to unload things from the truck.
Sitting on the sofa, Song Qiaoying remembered that in the middle of every month, there would be a dedicated driver delivering rice, oil, and salt to the doorstep.
From the surveillance footage, the truck's doors opened, and several servants carried numerous items into the house. There were bags of rice, various seasonings, and buckets of edible oil...
Zhang Ma carried two buckets and accidentally tripped on the doorstep while entering. She fell forward, spilling the oil all over the floor.
The servants walking ahead heard the sound and wanted to come and assist, but Zhang Ma stopped them. From her actions, it was easy to guess that she was indicating there was oil on the ground, warning them not to come closer to avoid slipping.
One of the servants pointed at Zhang Ma's clothes, as if saying, "Your clothes are all dirty. Quickly go inside and change."
Zhang Ma lowered her head and looked at her clothes, then called the truck driver over, seemingly asking why the two buckets of oil weren't tightly sealed.
After a while, Zhang Ma took a detour to change her clothes inside the house.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, she forgot to call someone to clean the floor.
At first glance, everything seemed to happen by chance, but Qing Yan still noticed a clue.
Firstly, Zhang Ma was responsible for taking care of Li Yusha as her personal nanny, so there was no need for her to help carry things.
Secondly, she waited until all the servants had entered the house with the items before going to the truck alone to get the oil...
While retrieving the oil, she hesitated for a while, as if it took some time to twist open the bottle cap. At that moment, the truck's door obstructed her actions, and only her feet could be seen standing there for a while.
As an elderly person in the house, she knew exactly where the surveillance was directed. So, when entering the house, she deliberately stumbled over the doorstep, pretending that everything happened unintentionally...
"Master, Madam, it's all my fault! I was idle and decided to help carry things, but I didn't expect the two buckets of oil to be poorly sealed. Li Yusha and the others asked me to go inside and change my clothes. Just as I finished changing, Miss Yusha called me to have some snacks. I didn't dare to refuse her kindness and momentarily forgot about the oil on the floor. I didn't ask someone to clean it properly. It's all my fault!"
As Zhang Ma spoke, she pretended to be full of remorse and was about to get up to apologize. However, the pain in her body caused her to fall back onto the sofa again.
"Why wasn't the lid tightly closed?" Song Qiaoying asked the others in a cold voice. "And no one cleaned up the spilled oil from the floor? Zhang Ma, when you and Sasa fell, you should have remembered this, but when I asked you why you fell, you didn't even mention it! And when you saw Xiaoqin insinuating and falsely accusing Yanyan, you didn't stand up to help and speak up!"
"Mistress, I'm sorry! I was in so much pain from the fall, my mind was filled with the sensation of bones and nerves hurting. I didn't think about it at that moment, and on top of that, my old age affects my thinking. Please punish me!" Zhang Ma pleaded.
"Mistress, it's all my fault. I was anxious when I saw Miss Yusha getting hurt, so I misspoke. Please forgive me!" Xiaoqin also apologized quickly.
One of the servants was also quick to explain, "When we finished moving things in, Miss Yusha said we had worked hard and offered us some snacks. We got caught up in eating and forgot..."
As she said this, she lowered her head.
"The truck driver said it's possible that they didn't check properly before delivering. The same thing happened last year..."
"Mistress, it's all our fault. Please punish us!" the servants pleaded, trembling in fear.
"Punish?" Song Qiaoying looked down at them with superiority. "Of course, there will be punishment! If it weren't for Yanyan restoring the surveillance, how would she have been wrongly accused by you all? She wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Qing Yan!" Several servants trembled and quickly knelt down. "Mistress, we're sorry, Miss Yusha, we're sorry, it's all our fault..."
It was all because they were greedy and, coupled with Miss Yusha always caring for them, chatting with them about various things, they forgot about this incident.
"Zhang Ma, your responsibility is to take care of Sasa. Although you had good intentions in helping with the items, when the oil spilled, you should have at least called others to clean it up. I understand that you're old and forgetful, but considering you've taken care of Sasa for eighteen years and now you're injured like this, I will deduct one month's salary as a punishment, not to be repeated."
"Thank you for your mercy, Mistress!" Zhang Ma expressed gratitude, but her gaze challenged Qing Yan, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
Qing Yan lightly curved her lips, as if everything was within her expectations.
"As for the rest of you, you forgot to clean the floor after eating the snacks, causing Sasa to fall and almost falsely implicating Yanyan. I will deduct two months' salary from each of you!"
"Thank you for your mercy, Mistress!" the other servants expressed their gratitude, relieved that they weren't being fired...
After all, the treatment at the Li family was among the best in the country!
"And you!" Song Qiaoying's gaze turned to Li Yi. "You said something just now, you know what it was!"
Aunt Li hurriedly knelt down, "Madam, it's all my fault. Miss Yusha has been very good to me all these years. I was too anxious and misunderstood Miss Qing Yan. I apologize to Miss Qing Yan!"
She had just said that if she really misunderstood Qing Yan, she would kneel down and apologize!
Now, she knelt in front of Qing Yan, "Miss Qing Yan, it's all my fault for speaking without thinking due to my impatience. Please forgive me! I'm from the countryside and uneducated! I beg you, considering the twelve years I have devoted to this family, spare me this time? I kowtow to you!"
Aunt Li actually bent down and knocked her head three times in a row!
In any case, keeping her job was the most important thing.
Qing Yan's gaze calmly fell upon her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Aunt Li, when you were deleting the surveillance footage, did you ever consider that I would be misunderstood, disliked, and looked at with strange eyes?"
Everyone looked at Aunt Li in shock!
She was the one who deleted the surveillance?
Aunt Li was also stunned for a few seconds. How did this girl know??
"Because, with such high-end surveillance equipment, in order to prevent someone with ulterior motives from deleting the footage, the front camera automatically takes a photo and saves it when deleting. You deleted the half-hour surveillance footage but forgot to delete your own photo."
Aunt Li was completely dumbfounded. She didn't expect such a slip-up would ruin her!
"Miss Qing Yan, I was wrong. I lost my senses for a moment. Please forgive me..."
Mrs. Zhang anxiously thought to herself that there was no front camera on the surveillance equipment at all. Qing Yan was bluffing. However, Aunt Li was naive and frightened, and she inadvertently confessed!
"At this point, aren't you going to reveal who orchestrated all this from behind the scenes?" Qing Yan's expression was calm, and her voice sounded indifferent.
But Aunt Li was already sweating coldly, and she instinctively looked at Mrs. Zhang and Li Yusha...
Both of them also looked at her nervously, as if saying, "Don't speak up, don't betray us!"
