On the night she was trapped in the backyard of the Shen family, Shen Moci learned from the nail placed in the main courtyard that her mother-in-law intended to mobilize the backyard manpower, and several housekeepers who had close contacts with her on weekdays were called in, and they had not come out after a while.

Hearing this, Shen Moci knew that it was going to be bad, and she couldn't know what virtues those mothers-in-law had. She didn't have much gold or silver in her hands that day, and when she bought it, she mostly started with small things. For example, the mother-in-law on the stove was greedy for a cup, and cooked the mother-in-law's soup too much. At that time, she was still playing the role of a obedient kitten in front of her mother-in-law, and she was quite popular, and she coaxed her mother-in-law not to care about it in a few words, and then she used this matter to threaten her mother-in-law.

She knows how to be in a good way, and what she asked someone to do at the beginning was very simple, just to send some good food to her aunt's courtyard and inquire about Daddy's whereabouts. But once they do it, even if they are in the trap, they do more and more things one by one, and finally they have more and more handles in her hands, and they can only willingly obey her.

With this method, she has accused many subordinates over the years, and most of those who may have fallen into the trap because of trivial things are not determined people.

Relying on Daddy's support and her own good reputation in the front, she is also a big tree in the back house, and she can still shock those people. But after the farce in front of Hu's house was reversed, now rumors are spreading, not to mention losing Daddy's support, and he is trapped in the backyard and embattled.

Now in this situation, how can those subordinates who step on the low and praise the high continue to obey her. She knows her mother's methods very well, she is more rigid and less soft, and she is accurate to deal with these soft bones.

This time he was probably going to break his muscles and bones, lying on his side on the bed, and Shen Moci stared at the pillow of the first class height. Above the pillow, at eye level, there is a white silk cloth with a portrait painted on it. With a few brushstrokes, she sketched a smiling girl's face, and her facial features were the same as Ah Yao's.

His gaze slid to the lower right corner of the white silk cloth, where the square vermilion seal was stamped with the words of Song Qinwen. This portrait was exactly what she saw when she first met Song Qinwen, and later snatched it as a trophy after she subdued his heart.

The long, slender nails of the proudly maintained nails were fiercely cut into the eyes of the person in the portrait, and two deep sockets were cut out on the soft pillow, until the pain of the nails breaking came, and she was finally relieved.

Tear off the broken nails and play with them in the palm of your hand. The corners of her lips raised in a strange arc, but there was determination in her eyes.

Over the past few years, there have been more and more people around her. But not more is better, just like this nail, if it is too long, it is easier to break. The uneven manpower also caused her a lot of trouble, such as the belly pocket of the college, which she checked after returning home that day, but it was because the maid who took care of the clothes was negligent in her duties and lost a belly pocket.

Although her mother-in-law's move was unexpected, the sudden attack caught her off guard. But thinking about it the other way, she just used her mother's hand to squeeze out some tumors openly.

"Someone, wait for freshening."

At her command, a maid came in the door. Squinting slightly, Shen Moci remembered that this was not the Qingyu who was demoted to a third-class maid by her after the belly pocket incident.

"How are you, their people?"

After stealing the girl's belly pocket that day and handing it to her sister Qingshuang, Qingyu was worried for a long time, and when she returned to the carriage to wait, she saw an identical belly pocket in the cage where the spare clothes were placed. Before she could figure it out, the boy in the dark clothes appeared in the carriage ghostly.

It turned out that stealing underwear was just a trigger, and the key was that she betrayed the girl because of this. Xuanyi Gongzi pointed to his belly pocket and said that he had settled the matter for her as promised. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, he raised another layer of concern. Shen Moci is ruthless and suspicious, and he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly when he goes back. If she can't find evidence from elsewhere, sooner or later she will be suspicious, and then her fate can be imagined.

Qingyu understands Shen Moci's temperament and knows that what the young man in Xuanyi said is very likely. As the eldest sister in the family, she has a steady temperament, and after the initial panic, she quickly understood that the only person in front of her could help her.

Immediately, she pleaded.

The boy only had a cold sentence at that time, "Why should I help you." ”

After being stunned for a long time, all kinds of thoughts crossed her mind, and finally she mustered up the courage to say boldly: "Our girl has been angry with the Hu family girl, I am her maid, I can know a lot of things, I can help the Hu family girl." ”

She didn't say such a sentence for no reason, she knew about the girl and Song Qinwen, and she knew about the relationship between the Hu family girl and Song Qinwen, and she knew something about her sister Qingshuang, and it was the Hu family girl who was obviously beneficial in the belly pocket matter. Since the young man did this, he must be towards the Hu family girl.

And she is a maid, she is soft-spoken, in addition to this point can help, what else can be valued by the high-ranking and powerful young man in front of her.

She could only gamble before the crisis, and it turned out that she was right. The boy promised to help her solve the matter, and would give his sister Qingshuang a fortune. It's just that whether Qingshuang is rich or poor depends on her appearance.

Qingyu understood that he was taking Qingshuang as a hostage, but she had no second way to choose. What's more, she and Qingshuang are sisters of the same mother, and Qingshuang has remembered when she was sent out in infancy, and she always feels guilty about this sister. When they met by chance a few years ago, Qingshuang not only didn't blame her, but called her sister very affectionately. The Hu family has a high monthly income, and knowing that she is not doing well, she took out the monthly money she saved to help her without thinking about it.

For such a sister, she is looking forward to her good. If a little bit of her own contribution can make her live a better life, of course she will not refuse.

Without much thought, she agreed to the boy's request. After returning home, as the boy expected, the girl was furious and strictly investigated the matter of her belly pocket. When she heard that the maid was not well kept and that one of the belly pockets in the cage was missing, she finally let go of her hanging heart, and the young man did not lie to her. The maid who was disposed of was a child of the family, she was lazy and lazy, and she relied on her identity to bully them, who were bought from outside, and she couldn't afford any guilt about this person.

But what she didn't expect was that even if she found the "culprit", the girl still didn't change her cautious nature. She changed the people who went to the academy with her, and she was demoted from a second-class maid who served closely every day to a third-class maid, responsible for sprinkling and sweeping in the courtyard.

She has nowhere to start these days, and just when she is getting more and more impatient, lest the teenager do something to her sister, she finally finds an opportunity.

Kneeling in front of Shen Moci, Qingyu calmed down.

"When I returned to the girl, the maids of the first and second rank in the courtyard were called to the main courtyard, saying that the lady had something to order. The slave had served in the room before, and the girl could tell her if she had anything. ”

Shen Moci looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, there was already chaos outside, but at this moment, she rushed over, her big braids were still oily and slippery, and she didn't see the slightest panic when she was luggage.

In my memory, this maid is diligent and neat, and she will catch her eye, and the most important thing is that she doesn't talk much, and she usually stands on the side when she finishes things, and never runs around casually. After the belly pocket incident, she secretly checked it several times, and the one in the carriage cage was indeed the spare one at that time, and she should not be suspicious.

"So many people were called, aren't you afraid?"

"The slave and maid are a little afraid," Qingyu raised her head slightly, and lowered her head after seeing the master's knee in front of her, "Just thinking that there is a girl, the slave and maid are not afraid." ”

Shen Moci's face softened slightly, and he said helplessly: "But I'm just a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and it's hard to protect myself." ”

With her shoulders shaking, Qingyu couldn't hide her surprise.

"The slaves and maids don't understand the affairs of the masters, and since the slaves and maids have been assigned to the girls' courtyard, they should listen to the girls' orders in everything."

After a pause, Qingyu hesitated a little, "But ......"

"But what?"

"Girl, don't be afraid of slaves and maids, slaves and maids often listen to the old people in the countryside, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. People can't just look at it for a while, the girl looks good and learns well, and even the master loves you, which shows that you have real skills. People who really have the ability, even if they are down, it is only for a while, and they can get up again sooner or later. Now the courtyard is just called a few people, the girl is still here, and the slave and maid really have nothing to fear. ”

The last words can be regarded as being said in Shen Mo's heart. Although she came up with countermeasures to minimize her losses as much as possible, she knew very well that she had lost this time, and she lost to Hu Yao, who was good for nothing except for her good background. She has always been jealous of Hu Yao and looked down on Hu Yao, how could she be willing to lose to such a person, deep down she has always believed that she will definitely be able to win back a city.

And at this moment, the maid in front of her explained the reason why she could get it back with the most simple truth and the most straightforward words.

She must be a loyal maid, Rao is Shen Moci is cautious and suspicious, in this situation full of rumors and embattled, she can't think of any other reason to keep a maid so calm.

"Can you comb your hair?"

"A little."

"Come here, comb my hair, and use that ivory comb."

It worked! After waiting for so many days, Qingyu couldn't hide her excitement at this moment, and the hand holding the ivory comb trembled slightly. And her actions completely dispelled Shen Moci's last suspicion.

Qingyu learned to comb her hair from her mother in the dental shop, and she was able to be sold into the Shen family, and she was also the best in the dental shop. Thinking of the current shape, she did not comb Shen Moci's usual bun, but made a large bud with her black hair coiled in the middle, and the rest of the combing was draped on her back like satin. With a slight change in this way, the originally gentle woman immediately brought out a little ability.

"Qingyu is right, it's a good comb. You will be a second-class maid and serve me to comb my hair in the future. ”

Transferring people into the room to serve closely, Shen Moci changed into neat clothes again, and cleaned up the whole person strong and capable. As soon as the lipstick was applied, the mother-in-law came to the main courtyard and passed her over on the orders of her mother-in-law.

"You also pack up a little, and let's go over together."

As soon as she entered the main courtyard by Qingyu, Shen Moci saw that many of the people she had bought looked disillusioned, and knelt tremblingly in front of her mother-in-law. The aunt stood behind her mother-in-law, silent, and the father who was sitting next to her mother-in-law had a cold face.

"Master, the eldest girl in our house is here. The big girl is really good, the backyard is full of your eyeliner, not to mention, her hands even reach the front yard. If I don't care about it anymore, won't the girl be going to stab the sky? No, the matter of you accusing the girl of the Hu family has spread a lot outside, and now how many people are poking at the backbone of our Shen family. You've already poked a hole in the sky! ”

Being looked at by the yin and yang weird grandmother and the gloating brother-in-law, Shen Moci quickly understood the point of his words. It doesn't matter if there are nails in the backyard, the most important thing is the few little guys in the front yard, which is about Daddy's trust.

The people in the mansion watched in full view, and she barely suppressed the fire on her face. With a proper salute, she changed her usual weakness and looked up at Shen Jinshan with a firm expression.

"Ah Niang lives in the back house all the year round and doesn't know much about the shopping mall. Daddy once said that people who are in business must listen to the six ways and see the eight directions. On that day, you promised your daughter that you could send the maid in the front yard and the guy in the store. ”

Compared with the eldest son who only knows cockfighting and lackeys all day long, Shen Jinshan is very satisfied with this eldest daughter who acts quite like her and can help repeatedly. It's just that today's incident is really a heavy loss to the Shen family, and there is also the fact that Hu Jiuling has not known what has gone crazy recently, and he would rather lose money than rob him of his business, and he has to show his attitude when the two things add up.

"That's the case, I did promise, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and reckless, causing uncontrollable consequences."

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Shen Moci hurriedly followed: "Daddy, this matter is not without a turnaround. ”

"Oh?"

Shen Jinshan's face was interested, Mrs. Shen frowned, and the aunt behind her suddenly raised her head, and her eyes lit up with a strong light of hope.

This matter started because of her daughter, and it is reasonable for her wife to be angry, and her daughter is willing to admit punishment. It's just that I can't write two Shens in one stroke, and my daughter is voluntarily grounded, but I can't admit this matter anyway, otherwise it will ruin the reputation of my entire Shen family. Fortunately, A-Niang had the foresight to interrogate the people in the backyard in time. According to her daughter, some of her subordinates were favored by the Shen family and protected their hearts, so they said some gossip to slander the Hu family girl. Ah Niang had the foresight, found out the culprit after interrogation, and drove out of the house after severe punishment to make amends to the Hu family. ”

Shen Moci knew that after the news of Master Kukai and Mo Daru vying to accept Ah Yao as an apprentice spread, the matter was basically irreversible. With two backers to escort Ah Yao in the future, it will be difficult to shake it, and the only thing she can do is to launch a scapegoat and try to save her reputation.

It's just that the good reputation she has worked hard to build up for several years has made all the wedding dresses for A-Yao, and she is depressed every time she thinks of her.

But no matter how boring she was, she couldn't change the facts, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood. I hope that the helper found by King Ping can do something to the top, help her delay a little longer, and try to downplay the matter.

Shen Moci's mention, Mrs. Shen is 10,000 unwilling, she has been busy for so long not to wipe her ass for this unsuitable eldest daughter. But this matter can't stop Shen Jinshan's willingness, seeing that she can't help her husband, Mrs. Shen also understands that heroes don't suffer immediate losses. repeatedly emphasized how Shen Moci stirred up the wind and rain in the backyard, and took advantage of Shen Jinshan's guilt, she put forward three requirements.

The first of these is the future of her eldest son, no matter how he is gentle, he will always inherit the Shen family's family business in the future. is so big, he should also go to the silk village to experience, maybe he can slowly improve after a little hardship.

No matter how much Shen Jinshan loves his eldest daughter, he will not hand over his family business to a girl like Hu Jiuling. Mrs. Shen's last sentence made him moved, there was a reason to suffer a little and change for the better, and if he let it go, his eldest son would be really ruined.

Then there is Aunt Shen Moci, the concubine room has established rules in front of the main room, and this matter can no longer be wasted.

Shen Jinshan, a trivial matter in the back house, has always been the shopkeeper. No matter how much he loves the concubine, his daughter is so old, and he has no mind about it, which he promised very happily. Seeing this, not to mention that the aunt behind Mrs. Shen was struck by lightning, even Shen Moci was a little cold.

The last point is that it is up to her to decide which people will be attacked. Don't think that she didn't see the eldest daughter's thoughts, didn't she just want to use her hand to get rid of those useless ones, and she retained her right-hand man and earned her reputation. She can't take advantage of all the benefits, how can it be so cheap.

After Shen Jinshan nodded, she got up directly. First find out the big maid that Shen Moci has to use, she has a good reason, since she is complaining about the girl, of course she is the most loyal maid.

Then there is the clever little guy and the neat mother-in-law, all of them are pointed down in a circle, and the people around Shen Moci who can be used are pulled out.

Standing in the middle, Shen Moci watched as her most powerful henchmen over the years were uprooted one by one, this act was tantamount to cutting off pieces of flesh on her body, a little bit of Ling Chi made her pain unbearable, but she couldn't shout.

The nails were so hard that they were embedded in the palms of their hands, and the warmth of blood stained their fingertips until they lost consciousness. I forgot when she was back, and she was helped back to her room by Qingyu.

Ignoring the aunt who was mourning, he returned to the bedroom and pounded the pillow hard. She didn't stop until she was sweating profusely, the night wind blew, and her sweat-soaked scalp was cold, and she finally regained some calm.

"Girl, wash your face."

The first-class maid around her has been pushed out to take the blame, and now in her room, except for the people sent by her mother-in-law, the most powerful one is Qingyu, who is newly promoted to the second-class maid.

wiped her face with a cloth towel and let her medicine her palms. Staring at the crescent-shaped scar on her tender white palm, she thought repeatedly. What should she do now that she has grown more than her nails and has not been removed, but the piece of the finger that is attached to the flesh guard has been removed?

"Then use them to continue to protect the tender meat."

"What is the girl talking about?" Qingyu's face showed worry at the right time.

Looking up just in time to see her undisguised concern, the bloody heart was greatly comforted. Now she has no choice!

Standing up and looking at her at eye level, Shen Moci said solemnly: "Qingyu, I have something I need you to do." ”

After listening to her finish the matter in a few words, Qingyu was secretly happy in her heart, but she bit her lip on her face, and said uncertainly: "Girl, but I have never done it before, can I really do it?" ”

"Now I have only you by my side, and if you can't, then our master and servant will be doomed. Qingyu, I know you do things steadily and neatly, you just need to do your best. Shen Moci looked at her with demagogic eyes.

Under her trusting gaze, Qingyu's frowning brows stretched out, and she nodded solemnly.

"Girl, I'll do my best."

The details were discussed again and again, and the next morning, the sky was bright, and Qingyu went out through the corner door. Following the messenger who sold her subordinates into the tooth shop, she followed the instructions of the young man in black clothes and came to a dilapidated door.

This place is specially used to deal with disobedient subordinates, and there are all kinds of torture and detention such as leather whips and soldering irons, and the painful wails of the tortured people have been heard early in the morning. Most people walk around this place because it is sparsely populated in front of the door. Although there were few people, the voice was very noisy, and it was completely inaudible when you spoke in a low voice two feet away.

After waiting in front of the door for a moment, someone tapped her on the shoulder. Seeing that the person who came showed her waist card, she hurriedly whispered Shen Moci's plan.

The person who came was Lu Ping, thinking of the little marquis's advice to "let her make a big deal", and after listening to it, he instructed Qingyu to act according to the plan.

Although she didn't understand what kind of medicine these people were selling in their gourds, she should have said that she could not go against the girl's wishes, and it would be easy to deal with them over there.

After passing the word, she went to see the person who was betrayed, the Shen family nursing home had already left, and she stuffed the silver ticket into the hands of several second-class maids who knew each other.

"You saw what happened last night, the girl is really powerless. She has been thinking about you, and last night she pulled me to keep saying that you are good, and she didn't sleep all night. ”

Qingyu rubbed her blue and black eye circles, in fact, Shen Moci fell asleep after discussing it last night. Only she, the colleague who had rethought how to behave, had to think about how to tell the young man in Xuanyi quietly, and what to do if the young man disagreed with her. There are so many problems, but she really hasn't slept all night.

Staring at the dark circles like this, Shen Moci looked at her with a soft gaze. Even now, it is very convincing to the Shen family who was sold to the tooth shop.

After speaking, she took out a few silver tickets from her arms: "You take these, and quickly redeem yourself." After going out, help say more good things about the girl, and treat her well in the future, and I will definitely find everyone again. ”

These people were locked up in firewood houses, and some of them were punished, and they were sold to the tooth shop at a time when the future was uncertain and panicked. And the girl who can't protect herself still thinks about them.

Someone immediately recognized that what Qingyu gave was the private money that the girl had worked so hard to accumulate.

"Girl, this is taking out all the silver at the bottom of the box, we can't stand the girl."

After learning of this fact, these people were even more grateful to Shen Moci. After the rapid ransom, they scattered around the city, confusing the public everywhere.

The reputation that Shen Moci has accumulated over the years cannot be destroyed overnight, and some insiders will say that it was done by the Shen family, and many people believe it.

After the news spread that the girl of the Hu family was apprenticed and put on a big flowing water banquet, the Shen family severely punished the subordinates with broken mouths and publicly apologized. For a while, everyone knew that the girl of the Hu family was really wronged, but who was behind the scenes was confusing.

All kinds of speculations emerged one after another, and there were different opinions and arguments, and soon it was the Shangsi Festival.
