Chapter Eighty-Seven: Man Is Not a Sage
Seeing that the words just now had taken effect, Mu Ningxuan picked up the tea bowl on the stone table on the side and took a leisurely sip of tea.
Yutang, who was standing behind Mu Ningxuan, took a step forward and said loudly: "Chunhui! ”
The maid named Chunhui instantly shook her head when she heard her name, and responded, "The slave is here." ”
"Come out!" Yutang took out a washed and somewhat whitish baggage, "This is yours?" ”
Chunhui saw the burden in Yutang's hand, and was suddenly too frightened to speak.
Yutang opened the baggage, and inside the baggage were some jewelry such as hairpin rings, which Mu Ningxuan rarely used, and placed them in the cabinet next to the dressing table on weekdays.
"County master, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid will never dare again." Chunhui cried and begged for mercy.
Mu Ningxuan said quietly: "It is known that it is a thief's plan, not for the good people." I have always punished the thieves severely, and the stolen goods were full of five times, and they were put to death. These hairpin ring jewelry are enough to make you die several times when you enter the yamen! ”
Mu Ningxuan waved her hand, Yutang understood, and said sharply: "Pillar, send Chunhui to the yamen." ”
A small guy who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly stood up and pressed Chunhui up.
"The county lord spares his life! The county lord spares his life! ”
Chunhui shouted, and Aunt Su directly stuffed a ball of cloth into Chunhui's mouth.
Mu Ningxuan's face was expressionless, and she only drank tea lightly.
After solving Chunhui, Yutang continued: "Qiaoyi, come out." ”
The maid named Qiaoyi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she knelt in front of Mu Ningxuan, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave is here." ”
Mu Ningxuan glanced at Qiao Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Do you know how many things you have broken in the past few months?" ”
Qiao Yi was stunned for a moment, immediately blushed, and whispered: "The slave didn't mean it. ”
"And whether you mean it or not, if you smash it like this, the things in Liujutang will be smashed by you in a few months." Mu Ningxuan was not angry, but only looked at Qiao Yi quietly.
Qiao Yi was very panicked by Mu Ningxuan, in fact, it was Guo Xiaoniang who asked her to do this, Guo Xiaoniang asked them to block Mu Ningxuan from time to time. Qiao Yi whispered: "Our Hou Ye is so big, just buy it again." ”
Aunt Su immediately took two steps forward, slapped Qiao Yi is face, and scolded: "Hairy things, dare to talk back to the county lord? It's a small matter to smash something, if you accidentally hit the county lord, it's a big deal, and it's not too much to kill you! ”
Mu Ningxuan said slowly: "Since you can't be a slave, then sell it." ”
As soon as she heard that she was going to be sold, Qiao Yi immediately panicked and hurriedly said: "County master, the slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid will definitely not break things in the future." ”
"Zhurui, drag Qiaoyi out." Yutang said to another little guy.
After processing two in a row, they were sent to the yamen and sold, and the other maids kneeling on the ground were so frightened that their backs were sweating.
People are not sages, who can do nothing, even the most cautious and proper female envoy maid, there have been times when the bowl and the wrong thing were taken, and the maids buried their heads in their hearts, and their hearts rose to their throats, not knowing what their turn would be next.
Mu Ningxuan didn't know who the person who stole the jade pendant was, and she didn't care which one it was, today she was going to send everyone Guo Xiaoniang sent away, leaving no one.
But you can't really find fault one by one, it's too tiring.
Mu Ningxuan put down the tea bowl and said in a soothing voice: "For the sake of your service, I won't take them out one by one today, but you have to know it in your own heart." ”
Hearing the county lord say this, the maids kneeling on the ground suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Ningxuan said again: "Although I won't punish you, I don't want to use some of you anymore." It just so happens that Princess Gao Rou recently said that she wants to reduce the amount of money in the house, and if any of you want to go out of the house and go home, you can take this opportunity to get your deed of sale back. ”
Mu Ningxuan pointed to the plate in Xiaofu's hand and continued: "In addition, you can also take a piece of silver back, which can be regarded as a reward for serving in Liujutang in the past few months. ”
The maids sent by Guo Xiaoniang looked at each other, knowing that the county lord in front of them could not tolerate them.
If they don't leave, the fate in the future will definitely be the same as Chunhua and Qiaoyi.
But if they leave now, not only will they have the silver, but they will also be able to get back the deed of sale, and they will no longer have to be slaves and maids to listen to Guo Xiaoniang's dispatch.
Even fools know what to choose, not to mention that they are not stupid.
