Chapter 071: Ruthless
Without the two of them, the room was suddenly less noisy.
The little maid stepped forward and neatly cleaned up the stains on the ground, and Mengbao asked people to bring ice water to Que'er's cheeks, and asked them to invite Dr. Zhang to show her.
Although there is only one tooth that has been knocked out, there are only a few around it that are afraid that they will also be loose.
This girl has always been a delicious food, but this time she really suffered a great sin.
Mengbao frowned, and was angry and sorry in her heart, if she hadn't humiliated Su Mengwan, Old Madam Su wouldn't have come to her like this to vent her anger, and she wouldn't have been angry with Que'er because no one went to the second gate to greet her in advance, and Que'er wouldn't have suffered such an unwarranted disaster.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl is the age of Shui Lingling, but because she lost a tooth, and in this era, the lost tooth can't be replaced......
Que'er was originally very aggrieved, but seeing that Mengbao's eyes were also red, and there were tears in her eyes, she hurriedly showed a smile and said, "Young lady, the slave is fine, don't worry." ”
Because the face on the left side is swollen, this smile looks particularly weird.
Mengbao's tears almost burst out of her eyes, and she forcibly patted her shoulder: "Okay, you go back to Jingxinyuan first and wait for Dr. Zhang, take care of your injuries in the next few days, and don't do anything else." ”
Que'er wanted to say no, but she was afraid that her refusal would make her even more sad, so she nodded and retreated.
Mengbao lowered his head and quickly wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the old lady in the seat.
"Grandmother, Mengbao still has something unclear, don't vomit or be unhappy."
"You say."
"Since my step-grandmother greeted the concierge yesterday, why didn't the concierge notify Jingxinyuan? Obviously we didn't notice it, so why did they say that they had already sued us, and that we had forgotten about it? ”
The magpie is the person the old lady personally picked for her. The old lady naturally believed what they said.
Both of them insisted that they didn't know about it, and the other people in Jingxin Yuan either went out yesterday or lay in bed and couldn't get out, so where did the news go?
If you want to say that there are no ghosts in this, no one believes it, but just now Old Madam Su was coming over, and they couldn't spare time to deal with this matter for a while.
Now that Mrs. Su has been "sent" away, some accounts should be settled!
Otherwise, if such a situation occurs again and again in the future, will it be necessary for all the people in her yard to lose a few teeth?
She didn't plan to stay in this house for long. But you can't watch the people around you being bullied like this while you're still there!
The old lady lived decades longer than Mengbao. How could he not know the twists and turns in this, and he didn't even bother to judge at the moment, so he directly explained to the servant woman under his hand: "Go and sue the horse steward of the gatehouse." Let him find out who got the news from the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion yesterday, and who said that the news has been passed on to Jingxinyuan, and after finding out, he will be killed directly, and there is no need to go back and forth to me. ”
The servant woman was to do it when she received the command. When he turned around, he was stopped by the old lady: "Also, sue him." In the future, all the visitors of the concierge, big and small, as long as they enter the backyard, all have to greet the young lady, and the young lady is not allowed to come in. All refuses. ”
The servant woman replied respectfully, and when she left, she secretly glanced at Mengbao out of the corner of her eye, her eyes full of awe.
The old lady has clearly said that she wants to hand over the authority of the house to the young lady. The concierge is only the first step, and I am afraid that it will slowly come to the hands of the young lady in the future. The eldest lady is about to be set aside.
And that's not the main thing, the main thing is...... Their prince, who has never cared about the affairs of the inner house, has just personally ordered the people around him to punish a subordinate, a subordinate who provoked the young lady.
Even if she didn't have eyes, she could see that the prince was angry just now, really angry, this is really a rare event in a hundred years!
can let the two real rulers of the inner house and the outer courtyard protect each other like this, the young lady's position must be too stable to be more stable, even if the eldest lady is in charge of the housekeeper? I still can't get up!
If you mess with anyone in the future, you can't mess with the young lady! Provoking her is tantamount to offending the old lady and the prince, that's really fatal!
The servant woman remembered that Mother Gao, who was beside Mrs. Su, had three teeth knocked out in a blink of an eye, and thought that someone in the concierge was about to be killed with a rod in a blink of an eye, only to feel that the hairs on her body stood up, and when she went to pass the word, she was extremely serious, and brought the old lady's words word for word.
The steward of the porter was also a neat man, and immediately summoned the porter, and did not interrogate, but only let them stand up for themselves who caused this trouble.
A small guy surnamed Feng came out of the crowd and knelt down to admit his mistake: "It's all the villain's negligence for a while, and he ...... when he was busy yesterday."
Steward Ma directly stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, don't say anything, come on, take it down, the rod will be killed." ”
Cane to death.
The two simple words startled everyone in the porter, and their feet were weak and they almost fell down together.
It's not like there has never been a slave in the house who made a mistake and was killed with a cane, but without saying a word, asking or even listening to an explanation, he was simply and easily convicted, and he was directly about to be pulled down and killed with a cane! This...... That's really ...... It's scary!
The little guy surnamed Feng was so frightened that he couldn't kneel steadily, and he climbed forward two steps before grabbing the foot of the horse steward: "It's the people in the Yuanhou Mansion in that town who don't post and only pass on the words verbally, and the little one is just negligent and forgetful, and the crime is not to death...... Steward Ma...... You ......"
Steward Ma kicked the little guy in the heart and snorted, "What about verbal transmission? There are so many things going back and forth every day in this porter, how can everyone hand over the post? How many things in the inner house and outer courtyard are not the masters' words? Is it difficult for the master to explain what to do, and you have to give you a post before you can remember it? ”
"A moment of negligence? Forgot? So you don't have to be punished? Or did you think it was a trivial matter because you forgot about the young lady, and it was not worth the big punishment? Then I will tell you a word, let you die clearly, today's punishment was set by the old lady herself, and the prince was also present, and there is no room for change. You just said that if you break the sky, you will inevitably die today! ”
The little guy who sat on the ground with his heart covered his face was pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. When two big men came to drag him away, he struggled violently.
"It's not me! Not me! My brother-in-law did it! I'm just helping him take the blame! I'm just helping him take the blame, Ma Steward! Steward Ma!! ”
"Wait," Steward Ma took a sip of tea, slowly stopped the two big men, looked at the little guy, and asked, "You say...... Are you helping people to take the blame? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing that there was hope for survival, the little guy hurriedly broke free from the two big men, and said in a loud voice: "Yesterday, it was my brother-in-law Liu Cai who received the news from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. I didn't know about it. It was he who told me later. He shouldn't be on duty today, he's already made an appointment to go out for a drink, and if anyone comes to the porter and asks about it, let me stand up. said that he forgot for a while and didn't send the news to Jingxin Garden. ”
"I originally refused, thinking that this matter is easy to find out and easy to fall behind. But he said that this matter is a trivial matter, as long as someone recognizes it, they will not investigate it again, and at most I will be fined for two or three months after a few strokes. When the time comes, he will make up for me. He also said that if I do well, I may be able to get appreciation from above. That's when I answered. ”
"But who knows...... I don't know this is a terrible thing! If I had known, I wouldn't have stood up to help him take the blame! The steward of the horse is discerning! The steward of the horse is discerning! ”
Steward Ma took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, I know." Someone, go and arrest Liu Cai back and kill him with a cane. ”
What the?
The little guy screamed out. The crying man was dragged down, and the other people around him were also frightened. The face is very ugly.
It is just that the person who directly committed the crime was killed with a cane, and the person who was obsessed with helping others to bear the sin for a while did not escape, which is a more severe matter than the cane.
Steward Ma put down the teacup in his hand and looked at everyone: "Don't think that I punished me harshly, since this Feng Mao originally knew about this matter, but he didn't report it, he was guilty of the same crime as Liu Cai." ”
"Deliberately concealing the news of the master, how much of a crime this is for the sect, you don't know, such a minion is not wronged at all!"
"I know that as a subordinate of the house, you will inevitably get closer to the people around this or that master, and I don't care about these things, and I don't bother to take care of them."
"But one by one, you also have to distinguish what you can do and what you can't do! What benefits can be taken and what benefits cannot be taken! Wipe your eyes off me! Don't offend some people who shouldn't be offended just to please them! When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, but don't blame me for not interceding with you! ”
A group of people under the concierge hurriedly responded, where did they dare to have half a point of disobedience.
Today's first unhurried questioning, originally everyone didn't take it too seriously.
But then came the sudden capital punishment, which frightened everyone.
Later, there were sharp twists and turns, and the person who made the mistake said that it was the top bag.
I thought that this bag could be punished a little lightly, but who knew that he still didn't hesitate to kill the cane.
This back and forth tossed back and forth, a heart up and down a few times frightened, it is difficult for them not to remember!
Here, the steward Ma explained the old lady's words clearly and let everyone disperse, and Mengbao in Shoufang Garden also walked out with Shen Nanzhu.
It was a hot summer day, but she was holding one hand on her arm, looking a little cold.
From the moment the old lady said the word cane just now, her face was a little bad, and she originally opened her mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it back and kept silent.
There are rules of this era, she is not used to it, but she must adapt to it.
She may be able to intervene a little bit in the slaves in Jingxin Garden, but the other slaves in Dingnanhou Mansion are not up to her.
Not to mention...... If she pleaded, where would she put the injured magpie?
If it weren't for the porter's deliberate concealment of the news, how could Que'er suffer this flying disaster?
In this world, there is a cause and an effect, and if they do not knowingly break the rules for their own benefit, they will not be punished.
Although according to her usual way of thinking, she felt that this kind of deadly punishment was indeed too heavy, but ...... This isn't the world she's in...... Here, the life of the slave is in the hands of the master, and whether he lives or dies depends on the master's words.
Originally, those subordinates would even look down on the people around her because they looked down on her, if she repeatedly softened, it would only confirm her impression of being a bully, and others would not only be grateful, but would also look down on her more.
Then the next time the person around her may not just be a slap and lose a tooth...... Maybe they were the ones who were killed......
So......
Be ruthless!
Be ruthless!
Be ruthless! (To be continued) R655
