Chapter Ninety-Six: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Rose was not convinced, and she had been glaring at Cuiyun angrily from the beginning. It wasn't until after a few slaps were beaten that I knew that Cuiyun was not playing with her, but really dared to do it, and I began to panic a little in my heart.
But he still refused to give in, but instead shouted at the top of his voice, "I have served the prince in the Anping Marquis Mansion for so many years, and I have no merit and hard work, why are you beating me?!" What's more, I'm not your dowry maid from Yanjing City, my deed is in the hands of the old lady! β
The meaning of this is that she Rose is from the Marquis of Anping, and Cuiyun, an outsider, is not qualified to do anything to her. After hearing this, Cuiyun almost laughed angrily, only to wonder if this rose was sick in the brain, and she couldn't see current events clearly!
After Yuan Xiang helped Xu Jiayi into the house, she was about to pour tea for Xu Jiayi only to find that there was no water in the teapot, and secretly scolded the maid below in her heart for not knowing anything, and she didn't know how to replace it with a new one when the tea was gone. He cursed in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he went out with the teapot, beckoned a little maid on the side, and handed the teapot over, "Go and change a pot of hot tea." β
The little maid nodded, and immediately took the teapot and ran out.
Peach and Rose watched Yuanxiang come out of the house at this time, and the two little maids both set their eyes on Yuanxiang. There was a bit of pleading and begging for mercy in her pink eyes, because she wanted Yuanxiang to speak out and say good things for herself, so as not to punish them this time. After getting along in the past two days, Peach also knows that although Cuiyun has a pungent personality, Yuanxiang next to Mrs. is a gentle and talkative person.
Rose thought that Xu Jiayi didn't dare to do anything to her after listening to her, so she sent Yuanxiang out to spread the word. Immediately, he glanced at Cuiyun with a proud face, and said several narcissistic words in his mouth.
Who knew that Yuan Xiang raised her eyes slightly, looked at the little maids standing in the corner of the courtyard watching the situation, and sneered, "What are you doing stupidly, why don't you go over and plug the mouths of the two of them, and noisily tell Mrs. how to rest." β
Hearing this, Xu Jiayi in the room couldn't help but laugh secretly.
When Mama Hua hurried back to the maple garden from the kitchen in a hurry, she saw Cuiyun instructing the other little maids to palm their mouths Pink and Rose, and a piece of cloth was blocked in their mouths.
The little maids next to "Mama Hua......" saw Mama Hua coming back, and hurriedly bowed their heads to say hello. Mama Hua just bowed her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Peach and Rose.
Mama Hua listened to the voices of Peach and Rose and the red palm prints on her already swollen cheeks, and she couldn't help but show her face. Although they made mistakes, they can be regarded as growing up, and the love they have been getting along for so many years is always a little unbearable.
Mama Hua glanced at Cuiyun, who was watching the punishment there, and just wanted to go over and plead for them, but was pulled aside by Yuan Xiang with a smile and stood still.
Yuan Xiang had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Mama Hua softly and said with a smile, "Mama Hua, when Madam Hua first came, someone said some gossip behind her back, and that was when my wife was a good bully." This is the time to make face for Mrs. You have served the prince for many years, if you open your mouth to intercede, then do you say that Mrs. wants to give you this face and spare the two of them, doesn't this make Mrs. embarrassed? β
As soon as Mama Hua heard the unbearable on her face, she instantly put it away, and glanced at Peach and Rose with an awe-inspiring expression, and then turned her gaze to Yuanxiang's expression, "It's my wife who is confused, thank you Miss Yuanxiang for mentioning it." β
For some powerful masters, just based on what they said, even if they directly found the tooth woman and sold it, they couldn't find the wrong one.
Just now, she was confused and thought badly, and she was moved by the sympathy she shouldn't have.
"Mama's words are serious." Yuan Xiang wanted this result, and when the goal was achieved, he lowered his posture, and whispered to Mama Hua.
Mama Hua simply couldn't see it out of her mind and was not upset, and when she saw it here, she only felt uncomfortable, so she turned her head and walked out, planning to see if the bird's nest soup made in the kitchen was ready. Rose watched her savior Mama Hua be pulled aside by Yuan Xiang and said a few words, then turned a blind eye to them and turned her head to leave, instantly anxious.
Regardless of the recklessness, he broke free of the clamps, pulled out the strip of cloth in his mouth, and said hurriedly at Mama Hua, "Mama Hua, how can you turn your elbow out and help outsiders......
Mama Hua was still a little guilty and didn't have the intention of saving them, but after hearing this, she disappeared without a trace in an instant, and looked back and glared at Rose angrily, "I think you haven't been punished enough, just by what you just said, it is enough to sell you, you really think you are a character." β
"Miss Cuiyun, you don't have to give me the face of this old woman, you can punish you as you want." After Mama Hua finished speaking, she thought about it, and simply knelt on the ground with a "poof", which frightened others. Even Cuiyun and Yuanxiang were taken aback, and looked at each other with some surprise.
Yuan Xiang glanced at Cuiyun, and she was going to help Mama Hua up, "Mama Hua, what are you doing, how do you kneel down, doesn't this embarrass me and Cuiyun, get up quickly......"
"Let the slave and maid kneel." Mama Hua refused Yuanxiang's support, and raised her hand to avoid her outstretched hand, "The slave failed to discipline the people below in this matter today, and the slave and maid are also at fault, and they should be punished." The lady is considerate of the slave and maid, but the slave and the maid cannot ignore the rules, so that others feel that the lady is unjust. β
Seeing this, Yuan Xiang also went with her, and she went into the house to tell Xu Jiayi the news. Xu Jiayi rubbed the teacup and responded slowly, "Hmm."
"Madam, do you really want Mama Hua to kneel outside all day? Wouldn't it be too good......"
"If you let her get up now, she will feel uncomfortable, just let her kneel for a while to show her attitude, and you can go and help her up in a quarter of an hour."
Yuan Xiang nodded suddenly in understanding, "The slave understands." β
The two little maids who had just held the rose turned white with fright when they saw the rose break free, and they were in a hurry to plug the cloth back, but they saw Cuiyun wave their hands and let them retreat. Cuiyun looked at Rose's unconvinced face and sneered, "What's the matter, you still don't know what you did wrong?" β
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll make it clear to you at one time today, so that everyone in the courtyard can listen, and I won't say it a second time."
"All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. There are some ugly things I want to say in advance," Cuiyun said bluntly with a serious face, "It's true that Madame is married from afar, but this doesn't mean that Madame's maiden family is gone." Before leaving, Lord Shangshu and the eldest princess specially explained that if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Mrs., they don't have to endure it, just kill it, if something happens, they will resist it later. β
"Madame is easy-going and easy to get along with, we slaves and maids just have to serve with all our hearts, even if we have any thoughts in our hearts, we don't have to hold back and endure it, we can talk to me and Yuanxiang. But these two girls chew the root of their tongues behind their backs, but they are the most disdainful of all the houses, and you are lucky to sell them in Yanjing City, according to the rules, you will be killed directly! β
When they heard the word "cane death", the maids in the courtyard couldn't help but tremble, and their faces turned pale.
"You also steal the master's food, your courage is really not small, I see that you are more arbitrary than my big girl. This is the first time this is the case, and I hope it's the last time in our yard, if I catch it next time, it's not just a slap in the face. β
At this time, Cuiyun made this clear in front of the big and small maids and women in the courtyard, which is to make it clear, what is right and wrong in this matter today, and Mrs. wants to punish her for roses and rosΓ©s, and the reason is ten out of ten.
If you can't say it, there is no reason, when the master wants to punish the slaves and maids under him, the slaves and maids also need to be beared. How dare you choke with your master like this. It's just that such a master who beats and scolds him at every turn regardless of the reason is unpopular.
"I see that you do not have the sincerity to serve in the presence of Madame, and I have fulfilled your wishes, and I do not force you to stay here. Since you are in the hands of the old lady, I will go and ask the lady, and tomorrow I will send you to the old lady to serve. Cuiyun said and glanced at the crowd, and said, "If you also have this idea, you can also say it now, and Ming'er can take each other and send it over together." β
Although Cuiyun said it well, all the maids shook their heads like rattles and rejected the proposal. Just kidding, their deeds were pinched in the hands of the old lady, but when they were sent back like this, it was not a slap in the face of the new lady, but a shameless old lady. It would be good if the old lady didn't drag them out to sell, and it would be hard to leave them in the house to serve.
After killing the chickens and making an example of the monkeys, Cuiyun asked Peach and Rose to kneel in the courtyard, and went into the house to return to Xu Jiayi. After greeting Xu Jiayi, Cuiyun was still a little uneasy on her face, "Madam, the slave didn't say anything wrong just now, right?" β
"No, that's good." Xu Jiayi responded with a smile, and praised Cuiyun a few words by the way. In fact, she had just listened in the room, and some of Cuiyun's words were a little inappropriate, but after all, she was young and had never really taken charge of herself, so it was great to be able to do this.
"Ming'er will do what you said, and send people to Rongyang Hall."
