"Grandmother, don't be angry, I don't think my second sister will do such a thing." Li Tingyu opened his mouth to comfort the old lady.

Li Tingxuan didn't expect Li Tingxuan to speak for her, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly echoed: "What the eldest sister said is, how could I do such a thing." ”

Liang was also quite surprised.

Qingzhu hasn't been out of the house for the past few days, but the rumors outside the house have caused a lot of trouble. I think the one who should be punished the most is the person who handed the news out of the house. ”

The old lady nodded when she heard this, I am afraid that someone is deliberately targeting their Li family.

Qingzhu didn't expect the eldest lady to help her speak, and glanced at Li Tingyu gratefully.

"Yu'er is right, but this girl can't stay. The master of the arrangement must be sold after 30 boards. ”

Although the old lady agreed with Li Tingyu's statement, she did not relax her punishment of Qingzhu.

Qingzhu listened, and in an instant, it seemed that his whole body strength had been drained, like a lifeless puppet, and he collapsed to the ground.

After hitting the 30 boards and selling the mansion, is she still alive? Qingzhu's eyes were hollow, and he couldn't see any anger at all.

Seeing this, Li Tingyu leaned into the old lady's ear and whispered a few words. The old lady frowned and thought for a while, then finally nodded.

"In this way, you go to Pinglan Yuan to be a sweeping girl for the eldest lady. Without the consent of the eldest lady, you are not allowed to leave the house for half a step. ”

As soon as the old lady said this, Qingzhu's eyes gradually returned to light, and she immediately cried with joy.

I didn't expect the eldest lady to be so embarrassed in front of the old lady, and if she opened her mouth to persuade her, she wouldn't have to be sold out of the house.

"Nope." Liang and Li Tingxuan spoke at the same time.

The old lady didn't speak, but her face was full of displeasure. She looked at the two of them with stern eyes, waiting for Liang and Li Tingxuan to give her a reasonable explanation.

Liang's face did not change, but Li Tingxuan was a little weak and did not dare to look directly at his grandmother.

"If this kind of tongue-chewing subordinate stays in the mansion without any punishment, won't everyone dare to follow suit in the future? If you don't take the rules of the house seriously, won't this family have to be a mess in the future. "Liang said that it is called a great righteousness.

Li Tingxuan hurriedly echoed: "Mother is right. I can't just because Qingzhu is my personal maid, so I can't open up to her. Thirty rods are necessary, and there are no rules. ”

The maid she trusts the most on weekdays is Qingzhu, but she can't let Qingzhu go to Pinglan Garden.

She panicked at first, and when she saw Qingzhu kneeling on the ground, she subconsciously denied everything and did not excuse Qingzhu.

It's too late to intercede now. In that case, then she will cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Qingzhu must not be left behind, it must be sold.

"Second Miss." Qingzhu's terrible screams sounded in the inner hall, and everyone was startled. Li Tingxuan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, didn't dare to look directly at Qingzhu's vicious eyes, and quietly hid behind Liang.

If the eyes can kill, Qingzhu's eyes at this moment are afraid that they can cut Liang and Li Tingxuan with a thousand knives.

Obviously, the eldest lady has already let her go, why does the lady and the second miss just refuse to let her go, and they must put her to death.

At this time, Li Tingyu spoke.

"The second sister is really righteous and killed her relatives, didn't she do something wrong, so she was in a hurry to kill people and kill her mouth."

Looking at Li Tingxuan's smiling face, Li Tingxuan's anger was like a cannon, rushing straight to the Tianling Gai. She really wanted to catch Li Tingyu's nasty face on the spot. That smile was a slap in the face.

"Big sister, don't spray people with blood." Li Tingxuan blurted out.

"Yu'er, Xuan'er is your sister, how can you make fun of this." The Liang family was in a hurry, as soon as Li Tingyu's words came out, how many people had to think about Xuan'er in a bad way.

Li Tingxuan's good reputation can't be ruined by Li Tingxuan.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Li Tingyu put away his casual smile.

"If Qingzhu is killed, how should this account be calculated? What if she sells it and she talks nonsense outside? ”

"It's just thirty rods, how can it kill her. She dared to talk more, and poured dumb soup over there and then sold it. I don't think anyone dares to talk too much. "Liang didn't care about the life or death of a subordinate at all.

She glanced around, and the people around her who were still whispering suddenly didn't say a word. It seemed that her words were still very intimidating, and Liang smiled with satisfaction.

"But the green bamboo sign is a living deed." Li Tingyu kindly reminded.

Liang and Li Tingxuan were speechless for a moment, they forgot about it.

Qingzhu's family has been a slave of the Li family since her grandmother's generation, and later to Qingzhu's generation, Qingzhu's younger brother is a studious child, and he is very hopeful to be admitted to Tongsheng.

But slaves are not allowed to participate in scientific expeditions. The old lady gave grace and exchanged the living deed for their family, who are now only working as helpers in the Li family.

In short, the Li family can't decide Qingzhu's life and death now. Only a slave who has signed a death contract can be left at the disposal of his master's family.

"As for the thirty boards, I don't bother the grandmothers to do it. After all, if I hurt her, I still have to spend money to hire a doctor for her, wouldn't I lose a lot? ”

Without waiting for Liang and Li Tingxuan to speak, Li Tingxuan stood up and walked to Qingzhu: "Leave you in my courtyard, and you will not be allowed to go out for half a step without my order from now on." The sweeping maid who has been demoted from the big girl to the third class will not be given a lot of money this year. Would you like to? ”

Qingzhu looked at the eldest lady in front of him, and felt that she was like Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved her life, Qingzhu knelt down at Li Tingyu's feet, and replied without hesitation: "I am willing." ”

"Even so, you can go back to Pinglan Yuan with me."

Listening to Li Tingxuan's words, Li Tingxuan was annoyed why he didn't speak earlier. At this point, I'm afraid it won't help to struggle no matter how much I struggle.

Li Tingxuan's eyes glanced back and forth a few times before Li Tingxuan and Qingzhu, and finally wanted to fight for it.

"Grandmother, Qingzhu is my person, if I take her back and discipline her well, I won't trouble my eldest sister."

Li Tingxuan took out her usual pitiful eyes and looked at the old lady.

"It's okay, I'm not too troublesome, the second sister didn't teach a good subordinate, I'll be a sister to teach you." Li Tingyu wouldn't give her this opportunity, and directly cut off what she was going to say later.

"Grandmother, don't forget that. As for the person who sent the news to the teahouse, it was up to you and your mother to catch it. Li Tingyu gave the old lady a salute and prepared to retreat.

That thing? What's that going on?

Liang and Li Tingxuan glanced at each other, what else did they not know.

The old lady looked at Qingzhu who was kneeling on the ground, her heart was troubled, and she waved her hand to ask Li Tingyu to take people away quickly.

As soon as she is old, she wants to watch the whole family and be kind, how to give her a moth one by one.
