Chapter 12: Arguing with Reason

"Dare to quibble? If it weren't for your instructions, would she dare to burn down the Shen family? Cheng Yizhi snorted coldly, "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info coming! ”

Second Master Shen opened his mouth to stop at this time: "I'm going to be punished after just asking a few words, isn't it too hasty, Steward Cheng?" ”

Cheng Yizhi's cheeks moved slightly, as if he was holding back his emotions, he gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Then according to the second master's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"As a housekeeper, you must do your best to deal with the affairs of the inner courtyard of the house for the master, Zhaoyan has been outside for a long time, you still haven't done things well, since Zhaoyan has returned, it is natural to let him, the head of the family, deal with it, we can only supplement." Second Master Shen said unhurriedly.

"The second master also saw it, these people have just arrived, and when they are not there, how can I interrogate?" Cheng Yizhi said angrily.

"Didn't you just try an old man? There are still two women left who don't ask, what is the difference between them arriving and not arriving? ”

Second Master Shen made things difficult everywhere, and he was very faceless, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two of them did not agree.

And the two main protagonists sitting at the top are like watching a boring drama, sitting expressionlessly, not interjecting or stopping them, and they can't see a trace of emotion at all.

When Zhong Liyue's gaze swept over them, she couldn't help but tremble, this mother and son are both masters who are deeply hidden, compared to Second Master Shen and the big housekeeper, they are the focus, and their attitude is incomprehensible, so it makes people feel even more scared.

"Granny Liu, I heard that you were often abused and beaten by your master before you left the house, but is there such a thing?" Second Master Shen looked at Liu Po and asked.

Liu Po hurriedly bowed her head and kowtowed and shouted: "The old body is wronged, second master!" This matter has nothing to do with the old body. ”

"That is, to admit it, you were indeed abused and beaten when you were in the Shen family?" Second Master Shen deliberately glanced at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yizhi pursed his lips, and his face turned blue. Second Master Shen dug up a big clue in one sentence, doesn't it make it clear that he is not capable of being a housekeeper? !

"The second master is wronged! The old body made a mistake, it is right to be beaten, the Shen family took in the old body, and was as kind to the old body as a mountain, how could the old body take revenge on the Shen family in his heart? Liu Po explained desperately.

"This girl you brought here almost burned down the Shen family, didn't you hold a grudge and instruct her to do this on purpose?"

"But you can be wronged, big butler! The old body saw that their family was pitiful, so he dared to protect it. The boss of their family broke the appearance more than half a year ago, and he had no money to compensate, and he was injured and had no money for treatment, so Zhong Laosi went to ask the old man to give their second girl a guarantee, and sold it into the Shen family for some money. Otherwise, this big girl would have died a long time ago. ”

Shen Zhaoyan suddenly raised his eyes and swept past Zhong Liyue as if out of nowhere.

"Nicely said? Looking at her fierce appearance, will she be hurt? "Cheng Yizhi is furious, it is these people who make him angry with Second Master Shen, Second Master Shen can't deal with him, aren't they easy to deal with?" Come on, deal with it in the family law, see if she is still hard-mouthed? ”

"Who dares?!" Zhong Liyue suddenly screamed and stepped forward to protect Liu Po.

The crowd was stunned. This man with a dirty face who had barely spoken since he came in suddenly shouted imposingly, and suddenly frightened everyone at once.

Cheng Yizhi was even more angry in his heart, Second Master Shen came to embarrass him, and these subordinates didn't even take him in their eyes one by one. "What a big breath! Did you command this fire? ”

"Great steward, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you casually wronged people? You have no basis to make accusations, first of all, it is not right, not to mention, except for the second girl, several of us are not from the Shen family, why do you use the Shen family's family rules to deal with us? Zhong Liyue argued unhurriedly.

"You, good little girl!" Cheng Yizhi glared angrily, what kind of bad luck did he hit today, why did everyone go against him? "Your sister is a descendant of the Shen family, and your whole family is it."

"It's so immoral to say such a childish curse from the mouth of the big butler, and," Zhong Liyue said sarcastically with a provocative look: "The butler should also be regarded as a subordinate, right?" are all under others, and don't even think of themselves as individuals? ”

Cheng Yizhi was choked speechless, he felt that he had lost face in front of the Shen family, especially Second Master Shen, who had never wanted him to sit in this position.

Sure enough, Second Master Shen laughed and looked at Zhong Liyue with admiration. But on the surface, he still said: "Little girl, this is the big housekeeper of the Shen family, you should pay attention to proportions when you speak." ”

Zhong Liyue really wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate the big housekeeper and kill his sharpness, but considering the situation of the second girl in the future, she held back. Let him know that the Zhong family is not so easy to bully, and he has moderately curried favor with Second Master Shen, it should be fine. Zhong Liyue said: "We can also understand the responsibilities of the big housekeeper, and my second girl is indeed at fault, so please let go of the anger in your heart first and talk about the matter!" ”

Cheng Yizhi suddenly snorted coldly: "Just talk about things? Good! You can go to the official mansion and follow the official master! ”

"What's going on?" Second Master Shen immediately interrupted, "I just said that as a housekeeper, you have to convince people with virtue, why did you send it to the government again?" ”

"This time, does the second master know how much the Shen family will lose? Regardless of whether they planned arson, just this loss will have to be judged and compensated by the official master! Is that all? ”

"Naturally, not. But you can't send all of them to the official, right? ”

"Why not?"

Zhong Liyue saw that Second Master Shen was talking to them, and knew that she had bet on the right treasure, so she hurriedly echoed him and said, "First of all, how did this fire start, have you found out?" ”

Cheng Yizhi pointed to the trembling second girl and said coldly: "She personally admitted that she did it herself." ”

The tears that the second girl had just held back suddenly fell out again, "I'm sorry eldest sister, I'm sorry Dad, it's all my fault, I accidentally fell asleep when I was burning the fire." Then he kowtowed and prayed to Cheng Yizhi: "This matter is all the fault of the slave and maid, and it has nothing to do with the slave's family, please let the big housekeeper let them go!" ”

"Erniu, don't beg him. I haven't figured out what happened! Zhong Liyue hugged Erniu's body, wiped the tears on her face, and didn't let her kowtow. What if you burn it? To err is human? It's a big deal to compensate them. ”

Cheng Yizhi suddenly sneered and said: "Hehehe, a country girl, if she really hasn't seen the outside world, she is left with hard bones!" If your family can afford to pay for it, do you still need to sell her as a slave? ”

"As long as it is the mistake of our second girl, smashing the pot and selling iron, and being a slave to your family for the rest of our lives, we will also compensate you." Zhong Laosi was very distressed when he saw his daughters being humiliated, and gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "We also have two daughters and a son in our family, and I will be the next person to your family for the rest of my life." ”

Cheng Yizhi sneered and continued to sarcastically: "Just based on the mistakes she made today, who would dare to ask you?" Not afraid to burn down the entire house?! ”

Just then, two men came in from outside. One was in his thirties, wearing a dark brown dark striped robe, with a goatee, looking shrewd, he had been with Master Shen since he was a child, and after Master Shen died, he began to assist Shen Zhaoyan, and his status in the Shen family was very high, and everyone called him 'Rong Sixth Master';
