Chapter XXIX: Punishment
Mrs. Wei's face was also very ugly, this Wu Niangzi was her former dowry maid, and now she has become one of the stewards in the house, but she didn't expect to become a steward, so she made such a fuss, and it was in front of the old lady, which made her lose face.
"What the hell is going on? Don't hurry up yet. Mrs. Wei looked at Mrs. Wu with a serious face.
Wu Niangzi's mind suddenly cleared up a lot, so that if she caused trouble for her wife, she would definitely cause disgust, she sued first, pointing to Xiaocui's bitter look: "Madam, she was the first to speak disrespectfully, if it wasn't for this little maid who hurt the slave maid, the slave and maid would not have scuffled with her." ”
As soon as Xiao Cui heard this, all the dirty water was splashed on herself, and it would only be more unfavorable when the time came, she covered her face scratched by her nails, and said in a sad voice: "Mrs., Mrs., this matter was not provoked by the slave maid, the slave maid came here to get charcoal, but Wu Niangzi not only did not give the charcoal fire to the slave maid, but also said a lot of words that hurt Miss Cousin, and the slave and maid couldn't bear it anymore and argued with her. ”
The two sides fell into a stalemate, Mrs. Gao's maid slipped out quietly and told Liu Yingxue about the matter, she was the last to learn about it, with a shocked look, she knew that Xiaocui was not a trouble-provoking character, and the reason why she fought with Wu Niangzi must have happened other things.
When she came to the door of the stove room, she saw a group of people surrounded inside, she walked inside, and saw Xiaocui kneeling on the ground at a glance, her whole body was very messy, and her hair was scattered, she suddenly felt distressed, but she couldn't say anything more for Xiao Cui on such an occasion, there was Gao Mingxuan by her side before, and the people in the mansion at least respected her, and now it seems that the only respect is gone.
Liu Yingxue saw that the faces of Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Wei were ugly, so she had to take the initiative to admit her mistake, knelt on the cold ground, and said with a guilty face: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Wei, Xiaocui is my maid, I didn't discipline it well, it was my mistake, if I want to punish, I should bear this punishment for her." ”
Things took a turn for the better all of a sudden, Xiao Cui's eyes were shining with tears when she looked at her, how could there be a reason for the master to be responsible for the slave and maid, she just wanted to say something, but she withdrew her words under Liu Yingxue's eyes.
The stove room became very quiet, and after half a ring, the old lady Gao spoke, waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Wei, you can deal with this matter, but this young lady is a guest of our Gao family, and the guest must not be held responsible, otherwise it will become a joke if it spreads." ”
Mrs. Wei is a smart person, so she naturally understood what Mrs. Gao meant, and cleared her voice and said: "You two slaves and maids are really not doing right, if the mansion is like you, then you have to fight every day, Xiaocui is indeed Miss Biao's maid, but you are a person from our mansion, and you have nothing to do with Miss Biao, and if you want to punish you, you two will be punished." ”
"Madam, the slave knows that she is wrong." Xiao Cui sobbed under her breath.
Seeing this, Wu Niangzi also echoed: "Madam, the slave and maid are also wrong, and they will definitely not make trouble in the future." ”
Seeing that the two were no longer arguing, Mrs. Wei said in a relaxed tone in line with the principle of turning big things into small things: "You two can't just admit your mistakes, you have to deduct half a year's salary, and if you make trouble again, you can only leave the mansion." ”
"Yes, ma'am." The two said in unison.
