Chapter 57 Killing Chickens and Monkeys
After Granny Wang knelt down, Xiaolan did not hesitate at all, shook her hand and slapped Granny Wang's face, leaving no emotion at all.
The crisp slap was extremely clear in the quiet courtyard, and at first she wanted to scold Xiaolan intermittently, but soon her mouth was swollen and she couldn't speak at all.
Some of the subordinates who had coaxed with Granny Wang gradually opened their eyes, and felt that their cheeks hurt a little.
Xiaolan counted silently in her heart, and didn't stop until she finished fighting twenty, no more and no less.
When she walked away, Granny Wang knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and two teeth that had also fallen out.
"Master, twenty slaps have been completed."
"Okay, what's next?"
"Back to the master, I have to fine her for another five months."
Hearing this, Granny Wang's eyes, which were already a little godless, widened again, and she pleaded indistinctly.
"Master, master, I was wrong, you spare me, the old slave has no children and no daughters, so he lives on the monthly money, you punish me for the monthly money again, how can I live!"
The sorrow between Granny Wang's expression and words looked miserable.
"No money? But how did I hear, Granny Wang, you still don't like the food in our house, go out twice a day and come back to open a small stove for yourself, if the monthly money is not enough for you to spend, then where did you get this money? ”
Granny Wang's heart was shocked, and her voice was a little weak, "This, who must have said this nonsense, where will the slave have that money." ”
Lin Xiaojiu looked at Xiaolan, and Xiaolan understood: "How can Granny Wang have no money?" Look at the bracelet and ring on this hand, even if you have saved some money for a long time, there are not so many, right? ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Granny Wang and looked at it, only to find that although Granny Wang was also wearing plain clothes, the clothes were obviously new, and there were some new tricks on them.
There are also two golden hairpins in his hair, and he also has a gold bracelet in his hand, not like a subordinate at all, but like an old lady in an ordinary family.
After perceiving the abnormality, a few people inevitably whispered, Granny Wang's face turned blue and white, and she quickly pulled down her sleeves to cover her hands, she didn't know that this action was even more controversial.
"Speaking of which, when I went to look for Sister Xiaolan this morning, I also saw Granny Wang sneaking into the master's house, and I don't know what she was doing."
A little maid Yue'er, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke timidly, Xiaolan also found out when she was looking for Yue'er at that time this morning.
After listening to Yue'er's words, the discussion around him was louder. Granny Wang couldn't wait to faint.
hurriedly shouted: "You little, don't spew blood!" When did I sneak into the master's room? You must be trying to frame me. ”
"Master, you must administer justice for me, don't listen to this dead girl's one-sided words!"
Yue'er hurriedly knelt down, "Master, what Yue'er said is true, and she will never dare to arrange it at will." ”
Granny Wang was even more angry, struggling to stand up and beat Yue'er: "You dead girl......"
But the little guy on the side looked at her, so that she couldn't move at all.
"That's it!" Lin Xiaojiu, who had watched the play for a long time, finally spoke: "Is it not, send someone to search Granny Wang's house to see if there is anything that shouldn't appear?" ”
"Steward He, you take a few people to search. Xiaoyue, you also go to my house to check and see if there is anything missing, I don't often pay attention to the things in the house but I don't notice anything. ”
The two of them took their own orders, and Granny Wang was already about to faint, and her face couldn't hide her nervousness and anxiety.
Seeing her like this, Lin Xiaojiu suddenly felt bored, compared to some people in the capital in the previous life, the subordinates in the Liu Mansion were still not enough to see, everything was about to be written on their faces, and they wanted to deceive the master.
After a while, Steward He brought someone back: "Master, I didn't find anything else, but I found a box, and there were some things in it that the old slave didn't look like a subordinate could have." ”
The box was presented, Lin Xiaojiu took a look, and Xiaolan also came back at this time.
"Master, the slave and maid were negligent, and after careful inspection, there was really something missing, two jadeite gold-inlaid bracelets, a white jade bracelet, and a jasper butterfly hairpin."
Lin Xiaojiu laughed: "It's a coincidence, you see if it's these." ”
As she spoke, she pushed the box over, Xiaolan stepped forward to look at it, her face changed, there was also a jadeite inlaid gold bracelet in this box, a white jade bracelet, plus two silver tickets and some broken silver.
She couldn't help but have a serious face, "Back to the master, these are exactly these two things, but there is still a jadeite gold-inlaid bracelet and a jasper butterfly hairpin." ”
Lin Xiaojiu didn't have any surprised look on his face, "Then it seems that I have to ask Granny Wang." ”
Xiaolan looked at Granny Wang with an angry face: "Bold, dare to steal the things in the master's house!" What about the other two things! ”
Granny Wang lowered her head and was terrified, and now she knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, so she had to mutter: "It's all done." ”
"Presumptuous! You dare to steal the master's things, and you dare to take them! ”
Granny Wang has already lost her arrogance at the beginning, and at this moment she just wants to get through it quickly, lying on the ground and crying bitterly: "Master, the old slave is dizzy for a while, please spare the old slave......"
Lin Xiaojiu propped his head, "That's it, for the sake of your age, I won't toss you." ”
Xiaolan was a little anxious, Granny Wang was full of joy, and just about to thank her, she listened to Lin Xiaojiu again.
"But people like you who don't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, slaves and bully the master, we can't keep them in our house, so let's pack up your things and leave today, as for the monthly money for five months, and you don't think you have the money to be my jewelry, so leave all the gold and silver on your body to pay."
"What! It's not ......."
Lin Xiaojiu was too lazy to waste time with her, waved his hand impatiently, and the little guy on the side found a rag to block Granny Wang's mouth, took off all the things, and left with her.
"Xiaolan, go and report to the official, you can't leave such a misbehaving person out, what if you steal someone else's things?"
Xiaolan happily left.
After Granny Wang's matter was resolved, the courtyard was quiet again, and everyone's faces were sweating, but no one dared to move.
At this moment, no one dares to have half a contempt because of the friendly face of the master sitting on the top position, and they can't be more respectful.
Lin Xiaojiu was satisfied when he saw this, "I know that some of you are also old people in the house, so you rely on your identity as a patriarch to rely on the old man to sell the old." ”
