Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Art of Manipulating

In the early morning, all the maids of Qinxiangju gathered in front of the main house.

There was a red sandalwood moire chair at the front of the hall, and the courtyard was silent, and a group of slaves and maids stood in front of the main room in an orderly manner.

Lin Yaoyue wore a light purple long skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with white plum blossoms. A white brocade was tied around the waist, and the jet-black hair was curled into a ruyi bun. Lin Yaoyue's face is not powdered, but her ink-colored phoenix eyes are particularly bright.

Lin Yaoyue only left Mama Gui and Mama Li by her side. Instructed Ning Xiang and Xiumei, who were transferred from her mother, to stand on both sides of the courtyard gate, and if you see a suspicious person, just call for the hospital to take it down, without informing yourself in advance.

Lin Yaoyue tapped the handle of the chair, and her ink-colored eyes looked coldly at everyone in the courtyard. As far as the eyes went, the maids and servants lowered their heads in panic, and their hearts trembled violently. Even the breathing was low, for fear of provoking Lin Yaoyue's attention.

This can be described as a situation that Qin Xiangju has never had in the past and present life. Lin Yaoyue's face was cold, and her ink-colored phoenix eyes looked at the people in front of her one by one. What Mama Gui said was true.

The little maid in front of her in front of her looked inconspicuous, she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, if it wasn't for Mama Gui to point it out to herself, I am afraid that I would not have noticed her for a while. But looking at the turquoise chain she wears around her neck, it is like a firefly, and the color is excellent, and a big girl who is not a first-class must not be able to wear it. And the current first-class big girl in Qinxiang's house is only Ning Xiang and Xi Xiang.

Lin Yaoyue pointed with her hand, "You, stand up." ”

Although the little maid was suddenly pointed out by the master from the servants, she did not have the slightest timidity, and walked generously in front of Lin Yaoyue, making a blessing, "What do you have to say?"

Lin Yaoyue smiled, "What are you doing on an errand in Qinxiangju?"

The little maid was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Yaoyue with a smile and replied, "If you go back to the master, the maid is a Qiao'er who takes care of the jewelry." ”

"Qiao'erβ€”"

Lin Yaoyue seemed to be thinking, but she was sneering in her heart.

Qiao'er thought that this was just an ordinary time to beat the maid and grandma. If that is the case, if she reports who she is, others can think of her mother who is in charge of the kitchen and will not easily beat her. But where could she have thought that today she was looking for her previous life and hurt herself, the backing maid who stole her own small jade pendant.

"Since she is the daughter of Chen's mother, the assistant head of the East Kitchen, then your cousin Huichun, do you know you?"

Hearing this, Qiao'er's face suddenly turned pale, last night, when her mother sent her a message, she said that this time is different from the past, the foundation of the Fang family in the mansion is loosening day by day, and her cousin Huichun was beaten in public yesterday, and her mother asked her to be careful and do it for herself.

But I didn't expect it to happen to me today.

Thinking about it so far, Qiao'er didn't even dare to raise her eyes to look at Lin Yaoyue, let alone answer Lin Yaoyue as easily as she did just now.

Lin Yaoyue glanced at her at this time and said, "Qiao'er, pour a cup of tea." ”

Qiao'er was stunned when she heard this,

I only heard Mama Gui, who was standing on the side, say, "You lazy girl, Miss told you, didn't you hear, don't you go quickly." ”

Mama Gui listened to Lin Yaoyue's words and saw Lin Yaoyue's methods, where would she dare to treat Lin Yaoyue like a few days ago. At this moment, since he had returned to his master and decided to pull out these eyeliners of the Fang family to show his loyalty, how could he be presumptuous in front of Lin Yaoyue now.

Now is her chance to perform.

Qiao'er couldn't help but feel a sharp jump in her heart when she saw Mama Gui reprimanding herself so sharply. How can Mama Gui, who used to be kind to herself and pleasant-looking, treat herself like this today, doesn't she want to take oil and water from her mother? Mama Gui, an old slippery head, used to be like a shrewd and calculating fox beside her master, and today, how can she be like a dog with her tongue stuck out at Lin Yaoyue's feet.

But Qiao'er didn't dare to slack off at all, she felt that her mother's words were exaggerated yesterday, but today she had to take the time to see her cousin Huichun.

After a while, Qiao'er cooked a pot of Longjing, and handed the teacup to Lin Yaoyue tremblingly. I saw the slightly hot teacup, and it suddenly poured, and the tea immediately burned on her own dress.

She couldn't help but let out a "ahhhhh

I saw that she had just jumped to leave, and she was still in shock, and Mama Gui stepped forward and slapped her loudly.

"You-"

Qiao'er looked incredulous, and covered her painful left side of her face with her left hand, which was not burned.

"Let you pour tea, but you will burn the master's body. This month's reward will be deducted until you can pay for this teacup, and you will be so humble and so stupid, and then you will be locked up in the firewood room for three days, facing the wall and thinking. ”

Qiao'er still wanted to argue with Mama Gui about something, but the moment her eyes turned to Lin Yaoyue, she couldn't help biting her tongue and not letting herself speak. If he and his mother do things for Mrs. Fang again, I am afraid that the fate of Cousin Huichun will be his own fate.

Qiao'er was dragged down by the handyman on the side with a "whin".

Those few people who smelled the letter and did things for the Fang clan saw Huichun's appearance of opening his skin and flesh yesterday, and saw Qiao'er's swollen little face in Qinxiang's house today. I thought that my connections in the house were far inferior to Huichun and Qiao'er, and now I only dared to stand cautiously underneath.

Lin Yaoyue had already known who the Fang clan had arranged in her Qinxiang residence, but at this time, she quietly swept away their rules. Just ordered a mother-in-law, and two maids came out.

"What do you guys do?"

The three of them hurriedly replied, one was in charge of charcoal fire, one was in charge of flowers and trees, and the other was in charge of rough work.

"That being the case, I don't need so many people here now, Mama Gui rewarded them with half a month's monthly money and arranged for them to leave the house. ”

The three maids couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still beating fast. They have been secretly doing things for the Fang clan for a long time. Fang Cai was worried that his life would be in danger, and now the master is forgiving and does not care about the past. also rewarded them with half a month's monthly money and let them out of the house.

The three of them hurriedly thanked the eldest lady, and returned to the shop where they lived in a hurry, packed up their things, and waited for Mama Gui to arrange and leave the house together.

Lin Yaoyue looked at everyone in the courtyard at this time, and said slowly,

"I think you all know what has happened in the last few days. Compared with these maids and women who have betrayed their masters, I don't care about you when you were cheating and playing tricks in the past. But in the future, if you have two hearts in life, or are still lazy and slack, don't blame yourself for not being as good as them. ”

At this time, Lin Yaoyue's voice was not loud, but all the maids and mothers-in-law who were standing couldn't help nodding and hurriedly saluted. Lin Yaoyue waved her hand lightly, signaling them all to get busy.

Mama Li helped Lin Yaoyue back to the house, yesterday the little master's foot was injured, and he encountered so many horrific things one after another, although his right ankle has improved a little today, it is still terribly red and swollen. At this time, she couldn't help but look at Lin Yaoyue distressedly, but saw Lin Yaoyue looking out the window.

Mama Gui is instructing the maids in the courtyard to do things, staring at the little maids to prevent them from slacking off, and when needed, she will personally demonstrate. Every part of the hospital is properly maintained.

Mama Li looked at Lin Yaoyue's gaze and said with a smile,

"This is because the eldest lady knows how to make good use of people, and many things never need to be done by the master himself. The young lady is still young, but it is not easy to understand the art of mastering. ”

Lin Yaoyue smiled slightly, "Yue'er has learned the art of war with her father since she was a child, and she also often has the ability of her father and brother to dispatch troops. It's just that it's not very handy to use it now, and I hope Mama can mention one or two points on the side. ”

When Mama Li heard this, she looked at Lin Yaoyue and smiled slightly, like a clear tree standing in the middle of the water, and couldn't help but nodded,

"The old slave must do everything in his power to assist the young lady. ”

The two couldn't help but smile at each other, and at this moment, Mama Gui walked in, and the two stopped continuing what they had just said.

When Mama Gui just lifted the curtain and came in, she saw Lin Yaoyue's admiring gaze resting on Mama Li, but she didn't have time to hear what she said. Now I have to pretend not to know. I thought in my heart that although I was working hard today, it was a wrong step after all, a wrong step, and I shouldn't have done things for the Fang family in the first place, otherwise I would have had the kind of favor that Mama Li got in front of her master now.

Lin Yaoyue looked at Mama Gui with a smile, "Mama has arranged the things in the courtyard?"

Mama Gui hurriedly lowered her head and replied respectfully,

"The affairs of the courtyard are now mainly taken over by the old slave and Ning Xiang, and the rest of the people perform their own duties, and there has not been much change. As for the maid who takes care of the eldest lady's jewelry and accessories, the old slave still has to ask the eldest lady for instructions before making arrangements. ”

Lin Yaoyue lowered her head slightly when she heard this, "Since this is the case, I will hand it over to Ning Xiang to manage first, and when Xi Xiang returns, I will let her be in charge of these affairs." ”

"Yes, Miss. ”

Mama Gui hurriedly responded respectfully and stood on the other side of Lin Yaoyue, but she couldn't help but think in her heart that the master still wanted to transfer the incense back, could it be that Xiumei's matter was about to be resolved?
