Chapter 15 Cleanup
Qingqing Xiaoyuan Courtyard.
Shen Mengzhi sat on the stone bench, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea in one hand and fiddling with the lid of the cup boredly in the other.
Jingnu and Mama Li stood next to each other, one left and one right, each holding a lantern in their hands.
Standing opposite the three of them was the woman who had opposed Shen Mengzhi several times.
The woman saw She's fate and was afraid that Shen Mengzhi would attack her, so she deliberately followed Shen Mengzhi all the way to Shen's mansion, intending to intercede.
The opening is, "Girl, I have eyes and don't know Taishan, I collided with you, you don't remember the villain, spare me." ”
"I don't like to push people to a dead end, but if I don't do anything, I'm afraid people will think I'm a bully...... So well, drink this tea, and I'll spare you once. ”
Shen Mengzhi raised his eyes slightly and handed over the tea in his hand.
The woman hurriedly took the tea, lifted the lid, and was about to open her mouth to drink the tea, when she saw that the tea was hot, she couldn't help but retreat, and said with a smile, "Girl, can you wait until the tea is cold before drinking?" ”
"When you tell people right and wrong, do you have the consent of people?" Jingnu snorted, "When you said my girl, I didn't see you hesitate at all. If you can't drink it, you will fall, and no one will force you to drink it! ”
The woman looked at Shen Mengzhi and tried in vain for Shen Mengzhi to open her mouth and let her go, but Shen Mengzhi looked at her calmly and did not intend to speak.
The woman withdrew her gaze, glanced at the steaming tea, bit her lip, and drank the tea.
The tea is hot, and when I drink it in my stomach, I still feel that it is still steaming, and when I go down a cup of tea, my tongue hurts, and my throat seems to have been pulled by a sharp weapon.
"Miss Shen, I've drunk." The woman endured the pain and said with a smile that the pain in her throat and tongue intensified with each word she uttered.
Shen Mengzhi nodded, "You drank the tea, and the things that talked about me before will be written off." Then let's count the fact that you broke into my yard tonight and bullied Jingnu and Mama. ”
When the woman heard this, the smile on her face froze, and she shook her ears and scrapers, and cried, "Girl, I don't dare anymore!" Please, let me live, what I did before was instructed by Mrs. Meng, as long as you spare my life, I will serve you as a cow and a horse! ”
While begging for mercy, Dong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Mengzhi three times in a row.
Xu felt that his position was not clear, and added, "Girl, it was all asked of me by the old woman of the She family, it has nothing to do with me, it was all forced by the shameless old woman!" ”
Shen Mengzhi stood up, looked condescendingly at the sincerity in the woman's eyes, and smiled.
The woman can be valued by She's weapon, and she has been reused by She's more than once, presumably because of this flattery.
It's a pity, the lackeys who can betray the She family will inevitably betray her, she can't afford to be such a snobbish.
Shen Mengzhi looked at Jing Nu, Jing Nu nodded, carried the lantern out of the courtyard, led in the dozen or so subordinates waiting outside the courtyard, and stood in the courtyard in turn.
"After listening to She's arrangement tonight, who are the people who should be with you inside and outside?" Shen Mengzhi asked the woman.
In order to protect herself, the woman did not dare to conceal it, and honestly pointed out all the subordinates of the Shen Mansion who obeyed She's dispatch, and two-thirds of this was even named.
Shen Mengzhi smiled self-deprecatingly.
Up and down the Shen Mansion, almost all of them are from the She family, and they can report the news if they take out any of them, and they can't complain that she will fold in the hands of the She family before.
If you can't control your back house, how can you control your own life?
"Packed up and left." Shen Meng knew.
Someone begged for mercy, "Girl, it's not that we are willing to betray you, but the situation is forcing us to do it as a last resort." If you have a good heart, spare us. ”
"If the situation forces him, he can betray the Lord, and in order to enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, can he not be treason and collaborate with the enemy? That's not a reason...... Don't think that anyone is kind-hearted, look at the capital, true or false, which one is kind? I don't blame you for letting you go, but I don't want to do things for the sake of my master and servant, and if you feel wronged, I can give you a ride. ”
Shen Mengzhi was smiling, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes were cold, as if they were dyed with a layer of frost, which made people dare not look directly.
She is most disgusted with the word disgusting and good in her life, it is not praise, it is not flattery, it is just the high-sounding wording when others bully her.
In the past, in order to maintain the reputation of kindness, he was bullied by the She family, bullied by Menghenan, bullied by the Shen Mansion and the people of the Mengjia, and did not dare to speak at all!
But what is the use of fame? In the end, it's just a joke in other people's mouths.
Now, she won't wronged herself because of those false things.
Others are afraid of her and know that she is not easy to mess with, so they will naturally respect her.
The weak eat the strong, the world is hot and cold, this is the way to survive in Shangjing.
She said, "Leave immediately." ”
The tone is cold, and there is no room for questioning.
Everyone wanted to say something more, but when they saw the fierceness in Shen Mengzhi's eyes, they didn't dare to mention a word, you look at me, I look at you, and went out of the yard with their heads buried, not even daring to step too hard.
They didn't understand, in fact, not only them, but even the entire people in Shangjing didn't understand, they didn't understand how Miss Shen, who had always been cowardly and easy to talk, could seem like a changed person, she couldn't say it, she couldn't be provoked.
But no matter how confused they are, no matter how puzzled they are, this is the case.
The girl of the Shen family is still the ugly girl of the Shen family, but she is no longer the ugly girl of the Shen family......
The woman was worried that Shen Mengzhi would not let her go, so she cried and kowtowed, "Girl! Girl! I really know it's wrong! I was wrong, I know I was wrong, just spare me! I don't dare anymore! Leave me alone! ”
The head was pounded hard, but in the blink of an eye, there was already blood on the forehead. But the woman did not dare to stop, and continued to knock on and on.
Shen Mengzhi asked Jingnu and Mama Li, "Can you forgive her?" ”
Mama Li nodded.
Jingnu also said, "It's just a snobbish and ignorant woman, and I don't care about her." ”
Only then did Shen Mengzhi open his mouth and let the woman go. “
The woman couldn't believe it, tilted her head, looked at Shen Mengzhi in a daze for a long time, and made sure that Shen Mengzhi really let her go, so she got up and ran away.
ran to the door, only to hear Shen Mengzhi say, "When you see someone from my Shen Mansion in the future, remember to take a detour." ”
"Yes, yes!"
The woman turned around, answered respectfully, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Shen Mengzhi looked at the few remaining people in the courtyard and said to Mama Li, "Mama, they will be arranged by you, there are not enough people, or they are on the side, they can add how they want, and the affairs of the back house will be handed over to you from now on." ”
Mama Li seemed surprised that Shen Mengzhi gave her power so easily, and her eyes were both stunned and surprised, as well as a little self-satisfaction in being trusted.
bent his knees to thank Shen Mengzhi for his salute, but he was not so happy that he was out of proportion, and took the initiative to propose, "Thanks to the girl's trust, the old slave will do his best to do what the girl arranged, but the old slave is lacking in skills, if the income and expenditure of the silver taels are handed over to Jingnu, and the two of us will take care of it together, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort." ”
Shen Mengzhi nodded, more and more satisfied with Mama Li's actions.
One person is in power, the other is in charge of money, supervising each other, cooperating with each other, not elevating anyone, nor snubbing anyone, this is what she wants.
