The family banquet ended early, the food tasted normal, Yan Qingge didn't eat much, after she went back to Qingxingyuan, she didn't fall asleep immediately, but sat in the warm room to drink tea and eat snacks.

"This chestnut cake is well done." Yan Qingge smiled and said to Ruyi: "It's hard for them to work for me on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people in the kitchen will each be rewarded with two taels of silver." ”

Ruyi smiled: "Yes!" I'll give them that. ”

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside, and Ruyi said, "I'll see, what's going on." ”

After a while, Ruyi led two maids in, one was disheveled, with a few piercing flesh wounds on his face, and the other was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the two maids were full of tears, I don't know what happened.

Ruyi had a look of sympathy on her face, and saluted Yan Qingge: "Miss, I made my own decision and let them in." It's just that today's New Year, I thought that if I could save two lives, it would be considered a wealth for the eldest lady. ”

"What's going on?" Yan Qingge sat up straight, interested.

When the two maids heard this, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, choking with tears and choking, "Kowtow to the eldest lady." My name is Caizhu, her name is Jing'er, and we are the maids of Mingxinzhai. Tonight, Aunt Shanghai came back, called us seven sisters, and asked us what we had done wrong, and I couldn't say anything, and I wanted to strip the sisters naked and throw them in the snow to freeze all night. Later, the second lady came and said that this was not good, just ask Aunt Hai to ruin our appearance. We were so scared that we ran out. ”

Yan Qingge saw that they were crying and trembling, the fear on their faces must not be faked, and there were still a few obvious scars on Jing'er's face. In addition to them, there are five maids who don't know where to run, so they know that this must be true.

Yan Qingge can be regarded as well-informed, but he has never heard of anyone's maids escaping en masse.

If it was placed before Yan Qingge's rebirth, Aunt Hai was successfully corrected, as the housemother of the Yan family, she killed a few maids, it was nothing, at most she was said to be narrow. But now she doesn't have that kind of life, and she wants to lose this kind of temper, so that the maids actually run away and resist.

Yan Qingge sorted out the cause and effect, and asked, "Do you know where the remaining five maids went?" ”

"The slaves and maids looked at the direction of their escape, some of them seemed to have gone to the master's side, and some of them went to the Jewel Jade Courtyard." Caizhu replied.

Yan Qingge nodded: "I'm afraid this matter can't end well." Ruyi, you arrange for the two of them to stay, lock the door outside, if Aunt Hai comes to ask for someone, just say let me come again tomorrow. ”

Ruyi nodded yes and left with Caizhu and Jing'er.

After more than two quarters of an hour, Ruyi came back, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't take so long to settle the two little maids to live.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Miss, those two maids said a lot about Aunt Hai, which is really chilling." Aunt Hai had tortured two subordinates to death before, but she didn't ask them to talk outside. The people in our yard are glad to follow the eldest lady, if they follow Aunt Hai, they will have a lot of hardship. ”

Yan Qingge smiled and tapped her head: "Just you're smart." Okay, I'm sleepy and going to sleep. ”

The next morning, Yan Qingge got up early in the morning, dressed up, and sat in the main hall waiting for people to kowtow. On the first day of the new year, in other houses, the servants were asked to go to see the old lady together, and then receive a red envelope for money. But the Yan family is different, since the death of the Le, the Yan family has not had this custom. However, in the past few years after Yan Qingge's rebirth, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she would give a red envelope to the people of Qingxingyuan, and she had a time in Heshan last year, so she sent it in advance.

The subordinates of Qingxingyuan were beaming, and lined up one by one to kowtow to Yan Qingge and say auspicious words, and after a round, Yan Qingge took out two red envelopes and asked, "What about Jing'er and Caizhu?" Although they are not in our yard, today is the New Year, so let's give them joy. ”

Ruyi smiled: "I'll ask them to kowtow." ”

Jing'er and Caizhu walked in in with trepidation, and kowtowed a few sturdy heads to Yan Qingge before accepting the red envelope. Compared with Aunt Hai and Yan Qingge's attitude towards their subordinates, they couldn't wait to tell Yan Qingge that they would stay in Qingxingyuan to serve in the future. But they knew in their hearts that by doing this, it was Yan Qingge who was looking for trouble, and it was okay to take them in for a while, and if they really left them to serve in Qingxing Garden, they were forcing Yan Qingge and Aunt Hai to fight against each other and make enemies. This kind of thing that kicks their nose and face, they dare not do it and can't do it.

As soon as the two maids took the red envelope, a few mothers-in-law and maids hurriedly stopped outside: "Aunt Hai, our eldest lady didn't say she wanted to see you, wait for us to inform you before going in." ”

Aunt Hai's sharp voice came: "Today is the first day of the new year, everyone opens the door of the house, and when others come to visit the New Year, the rules in your yard are strange, and others are not called in." ”

As she spoke, Aunt Hai walked in in a hurry, her palm-sized face was full of tiredness, her eyes were red and bloodshot, and she didn't sleep well at night.

When she came in, she saw Jing'er and Caizhu holding red envelopes, and said in a sour tone: "Yo, eldest lady, I came to pay you a New Year's greeting, why did I see you sending money to the maids in my yard?" You're the one who bought them to kill me, right? ”

Yan Qingge smiled faintly: "What is Aunt Hai talking about?" Those who come to my house today have red envelopes. Come on, send one to Aunt Hai too. ”

Aunt Hai was anxious and angry, and stomped her feet and said, "I am your elder, how can there be a junior who gives red envelopes to the elders." ”

"Aunt Hai, don't forget, you are my family's concubine, according to the law of the Great Zhou, concubines are the same as slaves. I am the serious master of the Yan family. What is the problem with the master giving a red envelope to the slave and maid? ”

Aunt Hai trembled with girlishness, she was a noble concubine, she was carried into Yan's house innocently, and she also brought a dowry, Yan Qingge just said this, which made her a slave. She pointed at Yan Qingge angrily, her head was full of fire, and said, "Quickly hand over the person." ”

"Come on, tie up Aunt Hai." Yan Qingge ignored her shouting, waved his hand, and instructed his subordinates to hold Aunt Hai down.

Aunt Hai didn't expect Yan Qingge to dare to make a move. She was worried that she had a fetal gas, so she didn't resist much, and her hands were tied behind her back to restrain a few healthy women who were five big and three thick.

"Yan Qingge, don't forget, I have an unborn male from the Yan family in my belly! If you hurt me, it's a little bad, see how the master deals with you. Aunt Hai stared at Yan Qingge hatefully and said.

Yan Qingge said: "It's extreme! You've got a baby in your belly. Prepare a chair for Aunt Hai, and remember to lay a good cushion on it. After she rested for a while, her temper stabilized, and she was sent to her father. ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Qingge beckoned to Jing'er and Caizhu: "You guys go to Hanyouju with me first, and see what my father says about this." ”

Aunt Hai sent someone to pass last night, but it didn't work out, so she specially picked an early morning to come over in person today, thinking about suppressing this matter and hiding it from Yan Songnian. Unexpectedly, Yan Qingge was going to find Yan Songnian early.

She was stunned, remembering Yan Shuyu's instructions before she came, her face changed, and she whispered to Yan Qingge's back who was about to step out of the door: "Miss, don't you want to know why I want to punish them?" These two wanted to drug the child in my belly, and I found out, the eldest lady is so clean and self-conscious, don't be deceived by them and help the abuse. ”

Caizhu and Jing'er's faces turned pale, and they knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Qingge and said, "Miss, the slave has never done such a thing. ”

Yan Qingge turned around and sneered at Aunt Hai: "What do you say?" "Apparently not at all.

"I have evidence in my house! In the place where these maids lived, I searched for abortion pills and child-avoiding pills. I haven't gotten pregnant all these years because they drugged me. Aunt Hai shouted and said to Yan Qingge: "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, you can go and see it in person." ”

Yan Qingge smiled coldly: "It's been a night, don't talk about putting medicine in the place where they live, even if you put a box of gold, you can do it." Aunt Hai, don't be like your father, listen to what you say. ”

Aunt Hai was debunked by Yan Qingge, and watched her leave, her intuition was not good, and she only hoped that Yan Shuyu had already taken down the few subordinates who had fled to Hanyouju, and she had already seen Yan Songnian and told her the matter first.

Yan Qingge took a group of maids and daughters-in-law to Hanyouju.

The door of Han Youju was open, and after entering, Yan Qingge immediately saw Yan Shuyu, who was standing in the courtyard, confronting Aunt Ying.

Aunt Ying had a faint impatience on her face, and said, "Second Miss, the master is still asleep, whether you come to pay New Year's greetings, you want people too, and you have to get up all of them." The four maids and Aunt Caifeng saw each other last night, and the lord said that they should stay here first. ”

As she was talking, Aunt Ying saw Yan Qingge and respectfully saluted Yan Qingge: "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Yan Qingge looked at Yan Shuyu and didn't speak. Yan Shuyu looked at Yan Qingge and Caizhu and Jing'er behind her sadly, and blinked twice: "Sister Qingge, why did you take the two sinners in our yard?" ”

At first glance, hearing her such an affectionate title, Yan Qingge had countless goosebumps on her body, and she frowned: "What sin? What Jing'er and Caizhu said to me is not the same as what you mother and daughter say. This matter has involved a lot of lives, if you and Aunt Hai haven't had enough trouble, I'll simply report to the official. ”

Yan Shuyu's face changed greatly, Yan Qingge is the kind of person who really dares to publicize the ugliness of his family. Last time, she reported to the official to call someone to arrest Yan Songnian's nurse, but this time, of course, she dared to report to the official and call all of them to prison.

She bit her lower lip and cried: "Sister, why do you do this, I know that you are close to King Yan's Mansion, Lord Yan is in charge of the prison, and when you go inside, you have the final say on whether it is black or white." is not like a little sister, the body is like a wanderer, and there is no attachment. ”

Yan Qingge was disgusted by her disgusting attitude and wanted to vomit, and said to Aunt Ying: "It seems that my sister must find her father to call the shots, so I bother Aunt Ying to call the master to get up." ”

Aunt Ying nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Yan Shuyu saw that Aunt Ying refused to let her pass all morning, but when she listened to Yan Qingge's words like this, her heart was obscure for a while, and her jealousy towards Yan Qingge was much heavier.

After a while, Aunt Ying came back and saluted Yan Qingge and Yan Shuyu: "The master invites the two young ladies to come in and talk." ”

The corners of Yan Shuyu's mouth hooked a smile, and walked to Yan Qingge's side, even if Yan Qingge deliberately took half a step back to avoid her, she still couldn't say that she was affectionate and held Yan Qingge's arm: "Sister, let's go in together." ”

Yan Qingge's arm held by her was like being stung by a scorpion, but she couldn't push her away in front of the public, so she could only endure the nausea in her heart and walk into the main hall of Hanyouju with her.
