Chapter IV: Severe Punishment
Xiao Wanyao was imposing, and everyone looked at each other and had no idea for a while, and they all looked at Xiao Wanrou. And Xiao Wanrou was calm on the surface, but she had to admit that Xiao Wanyao's appearance did make people feel a little weak.
But she still held on, looked at Xiao Wanyao with disgust, and said, "What is the same sect and different sects?" If you don't let me go in and search, it's clear that my heart is weak, and the earrings are stolen by you! How can the Prime Minister's Mansion tolerate a person like you with unclean hands and feet!? ”
Xiao Wanyao laughed, her voice was cold: "In the end, my sister can't tolerate me and wants to drive me away, heh!" Prove it! ”
"The proof is in your house! If you're upright, let me send someone in and search for you!" Xiao Wanrou did not show weakness at this time, like an enraged little beast, roaring incessantly.
Xiao Wanyao's hand pressing the door frame did not mean to let go at all, and because of her identity as the second lady, the family members did not dare to act rashly against her.
"What are you doing there? Go in and search!? Xiao Wanrou saw that the family members did not move, and instructed angrily.
"What does it look like to be noisy early in the morning!?" The male voice not far away came from Xiao Man, who walked over quickly, frightening the family members to retreat again and again.
"Dad, my daughter's earrings are lost, they are the pair of Hetian seed jade earrings that the Queen Mother of the Mid-Autumn Festival rewarded last year, which are very precious! Some people ...... His hands and feet were not clean, and when he saw that it was valuable, he took it away! Xiao Wanrou sued first, and turned around at the right time, glancing at Xiao Wanyao viciously.
Licorice wanted to defend Xiao Wanyao, but was stopped by Xiao Wanyao, she didn't say a word for herself, just silently blocked the door.
Xiao Man did not immediately express his position, and after listening to Xiao Wanrou's words, he was silent for a moment, and then said, "Wanyao, you say." ”
Xiao Wanyao's expression was stern, and she said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with her daughter." ”
"Then you won't let my people go in and search? You are clearly a thief! Xiao Wanrou accused.
Xiao Wanyao snorted lightly and said, "I'm afraid that if I let people in, my identity as a 'thief' will be confirmed!" ”
At this point, Xiao Wanrou's face was pale: "In front of your father, if you admit it, I won't pursue it, and you will leave this house." ”
"Wanrou, let your sister finish speaking!" Xiao Man's voice was unhappy.
Xiao Wanyao raised the corners of her mouth and said coldly: "When I was a child, there was such a saying among our children, which was called, 'Whoever lies will swallow a thousand needles', now Wanyao might as well make a ruthless oath here, as long as we find out the person who took the earrings among us, we will let him swallow the needle!" ”
No one expected Xiao Wanyao to suddenly say such a thing, and with the threat in her tone, one of the family members was suddenly frightened.
Licorice quickly stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the housekeeper, and the housekeeper knelt on the ground as soon as his knees were weak, and his voice trembled like chaff: "Master...... I'm not...... It's the eldest lady...... It's ......"
Xiao Man's face was full of anger, and he said to the housekeeper beside him: "Search!" Search him for me! ”
The housekeeper stepped forward and divided five by two, and he found the seed jade earrings.
Jia Ding's face was so white that he couldn't speak, but Xiao Wanrou's face was flushed.
"Good! Who borrowed your guts and dared to steal in Xiao Mansion! Xiao Man took the earrings and said angrily, this Xiao Mansion can't find a second pair of Hetian seed jade earrings.
Xiao Wanrou slapped the family suddenly: "The Xiao family actually raised such a thief as you!" Not to mention stealing, it also caused me to misunderstand my sister and hurt our sisterhood! ”
The family only cared about crying but didn't dare to reply, and only covered his face and whimpered when he was slapped.
Xiao Man looked at Xiao Wanrou, turned his face sideways and asked Xiao Wanyao: "Wanyao, it is you who have been wronged, what are you going to do, your father will make decisions for you." ”
At this time, Xiao Wanyao put down her hand, and slowly blessed her body in front of Xiao Man, and her attitude became a lot more deferential: "Wanyao is wronged, but it is not my sister's fault, it is just a traitor framed." ”
"Then according to your previous intentions, let the jade bearer swallow the needle!" Xiao Man's face was expressionless, and the family member kneeling on the ground was already dead.
"Miss, save the little one...... Second Miss ...... Minions don't want to die! The family pulled the corner of Xiao Wanrou's skirt and begged bitterly.
"Why do you beg me for iniquity of your own making?" Xiao Wanrou pulled the corners of her skirt in disgust, and quickly cleared herself up from this matter.
The other family members were about to drag him to be executed, but Xiao Wanyao was not in a hurry to express his attitude: "Daddy, Wanyao has just arrived, and she really can't see blood, so forget the punishment of swallowing needles first!" But those who have unclean hands and feet must be punished, and they will be punished for half a year! ”
The more ruthless the other party is, the more affectionate he is, the more affectionate he is, in this comparison, others will know who to follow in the future.
Everyone present was stunned, thinking that the second lady would severely punish the thieves, but they didn't expect to set off so lightly!
Xiao Man frowned slightly and questioned, "Wan Yao, do you really want to be punished like this?" ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "Yes." ”
Since this is the case, Xiao Man didn't say more, the matter was settled, he didn't stay long, and the others dispersed, Xiao Wanrou's face was full of resentment, but she also left accompanied by everyone.
Xiao Wanyao breathed a sigh of relief, and Licorice hurriedly stepped forward to help her into the house.
"The old lady said that he wanted to call the shots for the second miss, why didn't the second miss say that it was instructed by the eldest lady?" Licorice helped her sit down, then asked.
Xiao Wanyao took a sip of warm water to moisten her dry throat, and then said: "There is no evidence, even if that family Ding doesn't dare to admit that it was Xiao Wanrou's instruction...... Besides, don't you really know that you're a father? In his words, he hoped that I would make a big deal small, and to put it bluntly, I would still protect her. ”
Licorice nodded after listening: "But it's not cheap, Miss?" What if she is still embarrassed by Miss Second in the future? ”
Xiao Wanyao sighed and only said, "It's a long time coming." ”
Licorice still wanted to say something, but it looked like she wanted to say something.
Xiao Wanyao thought that Licorice was unwilling, so she comforted: "You girl is clever, you can fully understand what I mean today, and you are bold and promising." ”
Licorice blessed the blessed body, lowered his eyes and said: "It's still the second miss who is far-sighted, and it is fake to ask the slave to guard the door, the purpose is to make things bigger, and others will definitely tell the master when they see it, and the master will definitely make decisions for the second lady." ”
Xiao Wanyao smiled: "There are some things that you can know, but don't say it, especially in a deep mansion compound like Xiao Mansion, it will be troublesome if you get into trouble." ”
"The second lady taught me that the slave maid was taught." After saying that, Xiao Wanyao let her go down, she sat alone by the window and looked at the sky, thinking that this is the official start of the battle, Xiao Wanrou and Liu Ruyun, you mother and daughter should never be above me again!
