Qiu Ting shuddered, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the second lady again.

I could still touch that piece of jade when I touched my clothes in the morning, who would have thought that it would have been dropped by Shen Shuzhao a long time ago! The more Qiu Ting thought about it, the more scared she became, the third lady promised to let her go home to see her seriously ill grandmother, she didn't want to miss her grandmother's last face.

Everyone in the lobby did not speak, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

And the eldest lady who couldn't bear it on the side finally broke everyone's silence, she coughed in hiding, and then coldly glanced at all the maids behind Shen Shuzhao, and said sternly: "Is this how you serve your master?" ”

Several of the maids buried their heads lower and lower, not daring to answer.

At this moment, the eldest lady took out the style of being the lady of the Shen Mansion, and scolded: "It's all a bunch of foolish things!" can also let a little maid wronged her master, and all of them will go back to the second lady's courtyard and be confined! ”

After speaking, the eldest lady's tightly locked Yan Sù frowned, and she changed to Shen Shuzhao and said softly: "Pity you have been wronged, these servants are useless, and I will order someone to choose someone for you again in a while, so as not to have some unclean hands and feet." ”

Shen Shuzhao gently bowed sideways, expressing her gratitude to the eldest lady for her kindness: "I'm tired of my mother, the little girl thinks that Qiu Ting and the others are still loyal, Bi'er just served as my personal maid not long ago, and she really can't be compared with others." ”

"Then add more people, anyway, it doesn't hurt to have a few more people to serve," said the eldest lady kindly, "good daughter, today Mrs. Mo will take things to heart." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Shuzhao couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to thank him.

But at this time, she had fully thought about the advantages and losses in her heart, and the first thing was not to change everyone around her, in order not to make enemies among the people who were replaced; Second, it doesn't hurt to add more people, but a few more eyeliner from the eldest lady, anyway, how many of them are not planted by the eldest lady?

At this time, the old lady next to her also spoke: "Your mother-in-law is right, I also have some redundant servants here, my hands and feet are clean and diligent, I can just come over to serve you, and by the way, I can help you be careful of those who are not right-minded." ”

The old lady is always reminding something, intentionally or unintentionally, which makes the eldest lady look a little embarrassed, not to mention that the essence of what the old lady did is naturally different from the eldest lady, Shen Shuzhao immediately thanked him after hearing it, but this time he was much more sincere than the eldest lady.

Shen Taisheng, who had witnessed the farce of the women in the mansion from beginning to end, looked at Shen Xiaozhao with an angry face at this time, his eyes were full of disappointment for her, and he shook his head silently.

This is just the eldest lady from the concubine who died early in childbirth took the initiative to raise the daughter, when the eldest lady doted on her in every way, this move I don't know how many people praised the eldest lady for having the demeanor of a mother, who knew that this excessive love actually raised her daughter more and more delicately, and now she will squeeze her innocent second sister for a piece of jade, it is really a sentence, a loving mother is a loser.

I don't know what kind of incident will happen when this temperament enters the palace?

He looked at Shen Shuzhao next to him, he had heard what the eldest lady said yesterday that moved him, which made him feel that it was better to choose a concubine to enter the palace, and he was originally scheduled to come to discuss with the old lady today, but what happened today made him unable to speak to the old lady.

Shen Taisheng had no choice but to scold sternly: "It's good that such a farce is making trouble in the Shen Mansion, if you enter the palace tomorrow and have such a thing, it will really lose face as a child of the Shen family." ”

Despite the vicious tone, the four words of entering the palace tomorrow instantly attracted the minds of the women of the Shen Mansion, and the Queen Mother finally decided to set the exact date!

The stone in the eldest lady's heart was also put down, and it seemed that the news she heard from Shen Taisheng not long ago was correct.

"Can you set the hour?" Only the old lady could speak at this time.

Shen Taisheng replied to his mother's words: "Yes, it will be tomorrow at noon." ”

Hearing this, the old lady took a sip of a cup of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Since the palace will send someone to pick it up tomorrow, then you all go back and prepare first." ”

Shen Taisheng said "yes" first, then saluted and left. Watching his rapid departure, the eldest lady's heart was extremely uncomfortable, and it seemed that all the words she had tried to say to her husband yesterday were useless.

The old ancestor's eviction order, everyone didn't dare to stay for a long time, they all hurriedly got up and saluted the old lady and left one by one, no one wanted to stay here for a second longer when such a thing happened, especially this time the eldest lady took Shen Zhuangzhao and others to walk very fast, no longer like in the past, always have to take a cadre to walk slowly and majestically.

On the way back to the courtyard of the second lady, Qiu Ting and Luo Shui walked in fear, and the eldest lady gave an order to let them be locked up as soon as they went back, in their opinion, the meaning of confinement was obvious, that is, after the failure of this plan, the eldest lady sent people to protect them from Shen Shuzhao's punishment on the grounds of closing the black house to isolate the outside world, while sealing their mouths to the outside world.

But who knows what they'll do next?

Luo Shui thought about these things, only to feel that the hand holding the thing in her sleeve was sweating more and more, and even the palm of her hand was wet, and she had the feeling that the thing would slip out of the palm of her hand all the time.

If Shen Shuzhao went to the ear room to change clothes, Luo Shui found that the white jade inside was gone, and the piece of white jade copied by other high-level jade craftsmen in her hand now could be put in as fake, but Shen Shuzhao came and asked them to wait outside, and the fake jade in her hand would not work.

Second Miss, in the end, she is fine, no wonder the eldest lady wants to beware of her in every possible way, if such a person enters the palace with the eldest lady and the third lady, then it will be worth it!

She looked at the second lady with a slender back in front of her, she had such a good temper and had such a scheming heart, such a person was really ...... She swallowed her saliva and hurriedly followed the steps of everyone back to the courtyard, waiting for the eldest lady's people to come and take them away.

Mother Li, who had just entered the courtyard and had learned the news early that she had come early, had already brought a few people to wait there, and as soon as she saw Shen Shuzhao, she respectfully stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, the maid is acting on the orders of the eldest lady to detain Qiu Ting, Han Yan, Luo Shui and others for a day. ”

Shen Shuzhao pretended to be slightly surprised: "Mother Li is polite, although the eldest lady has an order first, Shuzhao still wants to ask what is wrong with them?" The jade was only stolen by Bi'er alone. ”

Mother Li is the dowry maid brought by the eldest lady from the Shen Mansion, and her status is very delicate, and Shen Shuzhao has to respect her a little. After hearing this, Li's mother still replied according to the standard: "Not taking good care of the house thief is the first mistake; It is the second mistake that the master did not protect the Lord when he was wronged. As the second lady's personal maid, the confinement allows them to have time to think about their mistakes, so that they can better serve their masters. ”

"Yes...... Shen Shuzhao nodded, then turned his head and looked at every maid behind him gently, "Although you are all my first-class maidservants, since the eldest lady ordered it, I won't say much, you all go in and think about it." ”

The other two replied in a low voice, although Han Yan was aggrieved, but seeing the pressure exerted by the eldest lady, he had to follow Mother Li away.

When she walked away, she glanced at the second lady aggrievedly, and regretted that she didn't protect her master well, and let Bi'er slander her.

Shen Shuzhao, who was silently watching them walk away not far away, was a little hesitant in her heart when she saw Han Yan's glance, but she still turned around and returned to her inner room.

The personal maid who was selected for six years was abandoned overnight, and she couldn't believe that one of the three was absolutely loyal.

Shen Shuzhao came to her main room alone, sitting silently on the Ivy chair, she looked at the row of maids waiting at the door with stunned eyes, how many of these people with humble expressions would be working for the eldest lady? How many are faithful to themselves?

It's pitiful, even in the family house where she has lived since she was a child, she has had such a hard time.

Just because she didn't crawl out of the belly of the eldest lady, did she have to endure all these intrigues?

Without a personal maid, Shen Shuzhao poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, the tea was already cold, and it was very bitter. Even if she could call someone over whenever and wherever she wanted, she didn't want anyone from the eldest lady to touch her things now.

"Shen Shuzhao, Shen Shuzhao, if you lose, you lose in your background." She smiled bitterly, it seemed that she had won today, but in fact it was not, and what she had lost was all the people she had cultivated. At this moment, in this quiet room, only this lonely second lady is silent, there is no pleasure after countercalculation, only helplessness.

But fortunately, she didn't lose the first battle, she could enter the palace, and she was no longer the poor person who was directly skipped in her previous life and then sent to the palace as a chess piece.

It's just that...... How many calculations await her in the future?

The sky gradually changed color, and what happened in the Shen Mansion today became a taboo in the courtyard, and even that Bi'er became a name that would make people lose color when they mentioned their names.

Within a night, this servant girl disappeared from the eyes of everyone in the Shen Mansion, and no one ever mentioned it again.
