Chapter 23: A Dismal End
Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Shao Ziqing and Mama Li, although she hated these two people, but looking at the tragic situation of one master and one servant at the moment, she was a little unbearable, and said: "This matter has reached such a point, it has become well-known throughout the house, and it will spread in a few days, and it will definitely cause some rumors." ”
Jiang Zuiyao looked at Shaojiang's face and rippled with these words, and then said in an accentuated tone: "If my father kills Mama Li and injures the eldest young master today, what will outsiders say?" People are terrible, father thinks twice! ”
This sentence can be regarded as waking up Shaojiang, it doesn't hurt to kill Mama Li, no one will care about the life or death of a subordinate, but after all, this matter involves Shao Ziqing.
What will others say if they know about it?
will say that the Shao family is rich and rivals the country, even if Mama Li is greedy for a thousand taels of silver, but it is also a life, but the official yamen is beaten to death in her own courtyard like this, which is indeed cruel. The eldest son of the Shao family disregarded his own safety and protection, which shows how loyal Mama Li is to Shao Ziqing on weekdays, but Shaojiang sits idly by and lets Shao Ziqing be injured, Shaojiang will definitely have a reputation for being ruthless.
But if Shaojiang stops today, what will others say?
Then the result will be different, it will be said that the Shao family is rich and rivals the country, and it is not bad for the silver that Mama Li stole privately, the family business is huge, and it will be earned back in less than ten days, beaten and beaten, scolded and scolded, and drove people out, keeping the life of the old woman and son, it is also the kindness of the Shao family, all the infamy will fall on Mama Li alone, and the Shao family can leave a good name.
Shaojiang thought about it inside and out, and the anger on his face faded a lot.
Jiang Zuiyao saw that Shaojiang had changed, and added: "Even if my father beats Mama Li to death today, she can't pay back the money she was greedy for, and she can't get back this money, so my father should dissipate his anger." ”
Shao Jiang glanced at Shao Ziqing, and said coldly because he couldn't say anything, and said coldly: "Pull Mama Li out, and don't enter the door of Shao's house again in the future!" Shao Ziqing stayed, and everyone else went out! ”
An order was given, and those who should carry Mama Li should be carried out, and those who should go out walked out, and after a while, only Shaojiang and Shao Ziqing were left in the front hall.
Jiang Zuiyao walked to the east courtyard, and Linghui followed behind her and said, "Thank you for saving the young lady." ”
Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Linghui, her crying eyes were slightly red, and asked, "Why do you care so much about Mama Li?" Is she gracious? ”
Linghui nodded: "The slave almost starved to death on the street earlier, and it was Mama Li who brought the slave and maid to the Shao family to be a subordinate, and the slave maid was given by Mama Li." ”
Jiang Zuiyao didn't reply, and walked straight forward, Linghui said again: "Actually, Mama Li is not a bad person, but she will treat you harshly after listening to the words of the eldest young master, Mama Li is loyal to the eldest young master, and she must obey the words of the eldest young master." ”
Jiang Zuiyao frowned slightly: "Don't say it again, how Mama Li has treated me this year, you have also seen it, it's not that I can ignore the past with a few words from you." ”
Linghui pursed her lips with an ugly face: "The slave knows that you can come to help Mama Li intercede, which is the greatest forgiveness." ”
Jiang Zuiyao didn't want to say any more, and ignored Linghui anymore.
After walking a few steps, I saw a little guy running over and said, "Young lady, Mama Li has something to say to you." ”
Jiang Zuiyao replied without any interest: "I'm not going." ”
The little guy replied, "The person is not far away." ”
Jiang Zuiyao looked in the direction pointed by the little girl, and saw that Mama Li was placed around the corner, which was inconspicuous.
Jiang Zuiyao walked over impatiently, looking at Mama Li, who was beaten for a long time, Jiang Zuiyao didn't pity it at all, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?" ”
Mama Li gasped weakly and spit out such a sentence: "Don't be taken advantage of by that slut in the North Courtyard. ”
Such a sentence made Jiang Zuiyao's eyes light up, she knew that Feng was fanning the flames, but she was also curious why Feng did this?
Mama Li continued: "That slut of the Feng family has always been at odds with the eldest young master, and she is secretly staring at the East Courtyard and not saying anything, but whenever there is a chance, she will harm our eldest young master, I used to keep an eye on it, and I stopped this slut many times, she is borrowing your hand to get rid of me!" ”
Jiang Zuiyao's heart trembled, Feng still had this thought?
Mama Li said again: "Are you kind enough to help you when Feng's family?" She sees that you are weak, and she has a chance to take over the East Courtyard. ”
The servant on the side looked at the sky, and said impatiently to Mama Li: "Have you finished speaking, we can't afford to blame the master for delaying for too long!" ”
After the servant said this, he took Mama Li and went to the direction of the mansion gate, and Mama Li shouted loudly: "Young lady, you have to be careful of the North Courtyard!" She didn't have any good intentions! ”
Jiang Zuiyao stood in the corner, looking at Mama Li who was dragged away, with a complicated gaze.
On the way back, Jiang Zuiyao kept thinking about this in her mind.
Mama Li came to such a field, but whenever she had a chance to turn over, she would not say these words, this was because her road in Shao's house was completely broken, and she said it to her for Shao Ziqing.
After entering the East Courtyard, the hot water for bathing had already been prepared, soaked in the warm water, Jiang Zuiyao leaned on the pool wall tiredly, thinking about what happened today, a Mama Li was involved in so many intricate things, how many grievances and grievances did the Shao family have?
And herself, this helpless young lady, how should she deal with herself?
After bathing, Jiang Zuiyao had just changed her clothes when she heard a noise outside: "Young Master, you can't go in, Young Lady is bathing!" ”
"Big young master! Stay! ”
Immediately afterwards, there was an unstoppable sound of pushing the door, a cold wind blew in, and Shao Ziqing walked in with a gloomy face.
The subordinates were embarrassed and said to Jiang Zuiyao: "Young lady, if the young master has to break in, the slave and maid can't stop him." ”
Jiang Zuiyao replied: "Got it, you go out." ”
The servant answered, raised his hand and closed the door, and went out.
With the sound of the door closing, almost instantly, Shao Ziqing hurried towards Jiang Zuiyao like a gust of wind, held her head, and pressed her into the bath.
Jiang Zuiyao was pressed into the water like that, unprepared, and made a splash between his arms struggling to break free, but fortunately, Shao Ziqing's strength was not great, and he choked on a few mouthfuls of water to break free of Shao Ziqing, and pushed him away.
"Ahem, cough ......", Jiang Zuiyao choked and coughed a few times, glared at Shao Ziqing angrily and shouted, "Are you crazy?" What are you doing! ”
Shao Ziqing glared at Jiang Zuiyao viciously, her eyes seemed to contain fire, and it seemed that she would erupt at any time, which was extremely terrifying.
Jiang Zuiyao knew what Shao Ziqing was angry about, and shouted: "Mama Li deserves it, you can't blame me!" ”
Shao Ziqing pointed at Jiang Zuiyao and said angrily: "I told you, if you dare to touch Mama Li, I will not tolerate it!" ”
