Chapter III: Combined punishment for dereliction of duty
When the two mothers-in-law got the order, they immediately stepped forward, pulled Mother Qian up from left to right, and dragged her to the bench that had been prepared on the side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mother Qian!" Gu Jiaoxiang was stunned at first, but she didn't expect to hear the voice of the eldest lady after her death, and she was immediately stunned, and then looked at the battle in front of her, how could she not understand what they were going to do.
Seeing that Mother Qian was pressed on the bench by two mothers-in-law to be punished with a cane, and her memories overlapped, Gu Jiaoxiang suddenly only felt that she was dreaming, but she didn't expect that she in the dream would suddenly return to thirteen years ago.
She leisurely remembered that in the winter of that year, Mother Qian was fined 20 boards by the eldest lady because she fell into the water and died on the spot.
"Stop! Stop, don't beat mom! Gu Jiaoxiang didn't think about it anymore, and was about to get up to save Qian's mother, but her body was powerless at this time, and she knelt on her knees after stumbling, but fortunately she was helped by the maid next to her, and she didn't fall to the ground with her body full, she gritted her teeth and tried to get up, but she couldn't move at all.
In the last life, she was also lying on the ground, pulling the corner of the eldest lady's skirt and begging, but no one listened to her, watching the boards fall on Mother Qian one by one, until she was lifeless.
Is she still going to watch Mother Qian die in front of her now?
No!
What kind of wish to stay away from betrayal in the next life, to live a dull life, it's all, the enemy is current, why should she endure everywhere and retreat everywhere!
God has given her a rare chance to be reborn, how can she let the tragedy of the previous life repeat itself, and how can she let the enemy bully her and remain indifferent.
The power seemed to fill the whole body in an instant, Gu Jiaoxiang suddenly pushed away the maid beside her, stood up, squinted and said to everyone: "If any of you dare to touch Qian Mother, I will call her worse than death!" ”
The words were as cold as ice, slamming into everyone's hearts, making people suddenly afraid, and the two mothers-in-law who were originally dragging Qian's mother immediately stopped and looked at her at a loss.
Gu Jiaoxiang stood firmly in place and stared at everyone, her cold eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Zhang's body.
Obviously, he just glanced at it lightly, obviously he was just a twelve-year-old child, and he was still a wet soup chicken, but that noble and dignified, domineering posture seemed to be natural, and that kind of temperament that was not angry and self-righteous shocked everyone present.
Zhang was stared at by her gaze, and suddenly felt a stab in her back, and it was not until her eyes turned to the direction of Mother Qian again that her worried heart calmed down.
Zhang's face was suspicious, and his eyes were full of exploration when he looked at Gu Jiaoxiang, probably never thinking that he would show timidity under the gaze of a little girl.
Gu Jiaoxiang suddenly raised the corners of her lips and said to Zhang: "Since the eldest lady wants to punish Mother Qian's dereliction of duty, it is better to punish other slaves who are also derelict in their duties. ”
Zhang's brows furrowed, and he didn't like Gu Jiaoxiang to call her the eldest lady, obviously she is now the master mother of the ancient mansion, so logically speaking, Gu Jiaoxiang should call her mother. And until now, she had always called her mother.
Zhang looked at her suspiciously, and always felt that this girl was very different today, which made her feel faintly uneasy.
"What do you think, eldest lady?" Gu Jiaoxiang interrupted her thoughts.
Zhang's expression immediately increased, and the doubts and uneasiness in his heart were overwhelmed by the bottom of his heart, and he asked inquiringly: "Where are there other minions who are derelict in their duties?" ”
"Of course, it's the slave maid up and down the West Cross Courtyard." Gu Jiaoxiang raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You have also seen it, the few people present now are still serving by your side, and none of the servants and maids in this yard are there, in other words, from the time I came to this lake for a walk, to the time I fell into the water and was rescued, there is no shadow of a maid and slave in this yard, if I remember correctly, there are sixteen girls who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping here, and there are twelve people who are working hard." You say, these 28 people actually left their posts without permission together, is it considered a dereliction of duty? This kind of contempt for the authority of the master is simply not to take you as a master in his eyes, if you don't punish it severely, your master mother will be slapped in the face. ”
Gu Jiaoxiang grabbed her wet sleeves and covered her lips and smiled.
Zhang's secretly screamed badly, he didn't expect Gu Jiaoxiang to catch his mistake from here.
Although the people in this courtyard were not ordered by her to go out, they also knew that this matter must have nothing to do with their daughter. Now up and down the ancient mansion, through her business in the past few years, the yard has basically been replaced with her own people, if these people are really punished by her, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be disgusted with her.
Zhang raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Jiaoxiang again, he really didn't understand how a person could change so much in just one day.
It seems that she used to look away, and she originally thought that she was just a cowardly and timid girl who was useless, but she hid such a scheming.
"Since you have made a mistake, you will naturally be severely punished." Zhang only thought for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Come here, find all the people in this courtyard." ”
Although it is impossible to give up the more than 20 people he has worked hard to cultivate for the sake of an old woman, if he misses this opportunity, he will find a chance to retaliate in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult.
After the big deal is done, it's good to appease this group of people.
Gu Jiaoxiang lowered her eyes, and admired Zhang's courage and ruthlessness in her heart.
If she is replaced, I am afraid that she will be reluctant to attack the people around her.
Gu Jiaoxiang was a little anxious now, if the people in this courtyard were punished, she would not be able to stop Mother Qian from being punished.
She turned around with a pair of big black eyes, and saw the slightly familiar faces of the two mothers-in-law holding Mother Qian, her eyes lit up, and she took this opportunity to step forward and pull Mother Qian down behind her, and said to the two mothers-in-law: "If I remember correctly, the two of you were the mother's companions, from Liufu to this ancient mansion, why, the mother is still there now, you will find a new master?" What do you think I should say about you? Selfish? Stab in the back? Abandoning the Lord for glory? ”
"Miss!" Several old people were embarrassed, their faces were very ugly, and they wanted to open their mouths to defend themselves, but they couldn't say a word.
This is a void of heart.
What the eldest lady said is not wrong at all, they are selfish, obviously they are all the marriage slaves brought by the Liu family to the ancient mansion, but when the wind makes the rudder, when the Liu family loses power, they turn to the new master mother Zhang with a clear conscience.
But people don't destroy heaven and earth for themselves, they are all people who drag their families and mouths, do they really let them be like those loyal servants, because of disobedience to the new master, and finally end up with a broken family and a wife.
Besides, since the lady entered the ancestral hall, the deeds of sale of their minions have also fallen into the hands of the Zhang family, and their lives are held by the mother of the housekeeper, so what if they are disobedient?
Gu Jiaoxiang knew this, so she didn't plan to rebel against these minions in front of the Zhang family, but she could still do it if she was nailing people in their hearts.
Looking at the embarrassment on the faces of several people, Gu Jiaoxiang looked sad: "My mother was kind to you at the beginning, and she has always treated you as relatives, and Mother Qian, although I am young, I also remember that Mother Qian has always treated you as good sisters, even if you have difficulties in your family, she doesn't say a word, and she has to help you with her life savings, and this is how you will take revenge?" ”
Since she has her own purpose, she wants to expose the slightest guilt in the other party's heart to the surface, and she is also reminding them how unconscionable they are to do what they do.
"I'm just thinking, let you kill Mother Qian today, Ming'er and your family have committed something? Do you want to do it yourself? Do not think that if you do your best, you will not be punished. ”
Gu Jiaoxiang paused, raised her hand to cover her lips with her long sleeves, and poked Zhang's face with a breezy voice: "After all, serving a master who is easy to kill, even if you just make a small mistake, it may become a heinous crime that does not kill." ”
