Chapter 153: Borrowing a knife

"Let's go, it's time to say hello to the eldest lady." Gui Mingyue instructed: "Find someone to take a good look at, don't let her look for death and life." ”

"Yes!" Grandma Jiang took the order.

When Gui Mingyue arrived at the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion, several aunts were waiting for the eldest lady with a playful look on their faces, especially the third aunt, who was even more eager for her to be reprimanded. The second aunt who sat on the top of the third aunt was still so wooden with a trace of mournful expression, seeing her like this, the third aunt couldn't help but sigh with disdain, the slut who couldn't get on the stage actually sat on top of herself.

The eldest lady hasn't come out yet, Second Lady Ji is not embarrassed to sit on the upper seat on the left, Gui Mingyue greeted her calmly, Second Lady Ji hurriedly responded, and was about to talk a few more words, Gui Mingyue turned her face away.

Second Mrs. Ji had no choice but to stop talking, Gui Mingyue did not cause her harm to her, and tried to pretend that the general illusion had not happened. This kind of person is pitiful and hateful, his position is not firm, neither side dares to offend, and both sides want to please, how can there be such a good thing in the world!

Everyone arrived, and the doctor Shi Shiran came out of the screen from the big girl and the Lian family, and since the old lady went to Yuntai Mountain, she became the only hostess in this house.

"Sit down," the eldest lady said in a light tone, when she looked at Gui Mingyue, her face was smiling, and she said for a while: "Your yard was lively yesterday, but you caught the thief who stole it?" ”

"Eldest lady, the concubine heard something," Before Gui Mingyue could reply, the third aunt stood up and hurriedly said, "Early this morning, there is a maid in the West Courtyard......"

"Third aunt, do you know very well about the matter of the West Courtyard? I'd rather say it. Gui Mingyue interrupted the words of the third aunt in a cold voice, the third aunt was glanced at by her coldly, her heart trembled, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back, and she stomped her feet angrily and went back to sit down.

Gui Mingyue didn't bother with her anymore, got up and went to the middle of the hall to face the eldest lady above, then knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "The daughter-in-law is incompetent, and I ask the eldest lady to be the master of the West Courtyard." ”

"Oh? Tell me, what's wrong? Mrs. Ji didn't expect her to soften first, and her shrewd eyes rolled and said.

"Because the maids and daughters in the West Courtyard are all given by the eldest lady, and the daughter-in-law has always trusted them," she was too lazy to control before, and let these subordinates be powerful, and the entire Hou Mansion also knew about it.

"It's just that they are carrying the eldest lady behind their backs to do such stealing and bullying things, yesterday the daughter-in-law punished them a little, but a maid named Hongluan was not convinced, and she was going to commit suicide in this Hou Mansion early this morning. The daughter-in-law thought that she slapped the eldest lady in the face with this action, and also touched the moldy head of the Hou Mansion, because the daughter-in-law did not dare to be self-conscious, and asked the eldest lady to call the shots. Gui Mingyue said.

The aunts looked at each other, when did this Gui Shi become so incompetent and weak, the last time he went toe-for-tat with the eldest lady at the banquet, and he didn't give an inch, he still vividly remembered it.

The eldest lady didn't expect her to suddenly put on such a weak posture, and she used a lot of tricks she had made in advance.

"Please also ask the eldest lady to make decisions for her daughter-in-law." Gui Mingyue continued to urge.

"As a subordinate, you dare to make a big mistake that violates family rules, such as suicide by hanging a beam, so let's kill it." Mrs. Ji said helplessly again, this idiot, he committed suicide without making any trouble, and lost his face.

"This ......" Gui Mingyue said hesitantly: "It's a life after all, wouldn't it damage Yin Virtue to kill like this?" If you find someone to sell it, it can be regarded as out of sight. ”

"Heh, when did the young grandmother become so merciful." Mrs. Ji didn't expect this Gui to be so shameless, and the hot potato was thrown to herself, but she put on a bodhisattva heart to show her?

borrowed his own knife to punish the disobedient maid and didn't say anything, and set up a good reputation for himself, but Mrs. Ji couldn't help but do it, and she was very depressed.

"Do whatever you want." Mrs. Ji didn't bother to entangle with her here anymore, and waved her hand irritably to let everyone disperse.

"Big lady, there's one more thing, please ask the big lady to call the shots......" Gui Mingyue immediately said again.

"What's the matter? I can't manage things in my yard well, I think you, a young grandmother, are also in vain! The eldest lady said dissatisfied.

Gui Mingyue said: "This matter can be managed by the daughter-in-law, but it is just that some things that were lost in the warehouse of the West Courtyard were found from a few slave rooms with unclean hands and feet." ”

"What? What did you find? Mrs. Ji's heart sank and she couldn't help asking. These idiots, don't you know how to get rid of them quickly.

Gui Mingyue said a few things.

"No Night Pearl?" Mrs. Ji couldn't help but blurt out. Although Gui Mingyue later took out a night pearl, some people below reported that it was not the one in the warehouse.

Because of the tight watch in the West Courtyard in the past few days, the night pearl has not reached the hands of the eldest lady, because she said that Gui Mingyue said that she had found something, and she was a little anxious.

"The pearl of the night, it has not been found." Gui Mingyue said.

"Oh," Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand, and said, "Since you have stolen the things in your West Courtyard, you will be killed, killed, or sold, so you will make your own decisions." Everything else comes to ask me, the Hou Mansion is so big, how can I manage it. ”

Gui Mingyue was ordered to come back to her west courtyard, and summoned those subordinates, and the news that the eldest lady was going to order the killing of Hongluan had already reached their ears by Gui Mingyue, and they were all panicked at this time, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.

Hongluan was held by Qingxiu, kneeling in front of Gui Mingyue with a "poof", crying bitterly, she didn't expect that her first play this morning would be so serious, and she almost really lost her life, she knew the cruelty of the eldest lady, but she didn't expect Gui Mingyue to intercede for herself.

"The grace of the young grandmother not to kill, Hongluan has nothing to repay in this life, and only hopes to repay the kindness of the young grandmother by being a cow and a horse in the next life."

"That's it, you and I are a bad master and servant, these words will be forgiven," Gui Mingyue instructed: "Grandma Jiang, find someone you know and find her a better person." ”

Hearing this, Hongluan kowtowed three more times.

The other maids and women below didn't expect that this young grandmother was actually a benevolent, and the rest of the criminals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, Gui Mingyue said coldly again: "Come on, take down a few thieves who steal!" ”

Wen Sheng, the guard outside the door, came in under the guidance of Grandma Jiang, twisted a few mothers-in-law and maids, including Mrs. Zhang, and found the most stolen goods from her house, she was also a greedy person, she stole things and didn't hand them over, but wanted to swallow them in private.

"Escort them all to Kaifeng Mansion, and today Lord Yin will treat them for the crime of stealing!" Gui Mingyue said sharply.

"The young grandmother spares her life, the eldest young grandmother is the bodhisattva's heart, so spare the slaves and maids." Mrs. Zhang cried and knelt on the ground.

"After committing such a big crime, you want me to spare you?" Gui Mingyue sneered: "It's okay if you don't send it to the government, return all the things you stole before to me, everything is easy to say." ”

"This ......" The slaves looked at each other, and they had either sold them or used them to please the eldest lady. What do you want to do now?

"The eldest lady has an order," At this time, Grandma Yuan came to the West Courtyard, and Gui Mingyue knew that it was the eldest lady who reacted, for fear that she would report to the official and she would be involved at that time.

"I wonder what instructions the eldest lady has?" Gui Mingyue said with a sneer.

Grandma Yuan greeted her with a rare smile and said: "The eldest lady knows that you have lost something, she must be angry in her heart, this is not to give you anger, send the old slave to deal with this gang of lawless slaves." ”

"Come on," Grandma Yuan's face sank, and she commanded fiercely: "Pull Mrs. Zhang out and kill her with a cane, and the other maids will all be sold." ”

said that the following pleading voice was not enough, and only smiled at Gui Mingyue and said, "I don't know this disposition, is the young grandmother still satisfied?" ”

Gui Mingyue said with a smile: "It's all up to the eldest lady." ”

A case of theft of the warehouse in the West Courtyard came to an end under the vigorous and resolute disposal of the eldest lady, and the people below were frightened, and they were secretly cold to the eldest lady. Especially Mrs. Cheng, she completely saw the vicious heart of the eldest lady, and only used these subordinates as tools, and when she used them, she would not blink her eyes when she killed them.

Lao Qiu's family had been lying on the hospital bed for more than a month because of Mrs. Zhang's death, and the people were completely silent, and they sternly instructed Ning Xiang not to be so arrogant and unassuming, especially not to touch the young grandmother's moldy head.

The main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

"Big lady, the gang of subordinates sent to the West Courtyard are all more than successful and more than defeated, and now there is not much left to even kill and sell, why not send a new batch of the past." Grandma Yuan said.

The eldest lady said angrily, "Are you so easy to send?" The last time I sent these to the past, the concubine was not obvious on the surface, I don't know how many stumbling blocks it secretly made to our outside business, I don't know. And eighty percent of the third aunt's money was also done by this little brute! ”

"Fortunately, this time, except for Mrs. Zhang, the rest are some rough subordinates, and the old Qiu family and Qingxiu are fine." Grandma Yuan comforted again.

The eldest lady frowned, after this incident, the old Qiu family said that she had been sick for more than a month, and she was not as attentive as before, but fortunately, she still held the man and son of the old Qiu family in her hands, and she had to do some things if she didn't want to.

As for Qingxiu, this little girl has always had a lot of ideas, and she is not so easy to handle.

The concubine got some martial arts subordinates in the West Courtyard, and the news over there was even more difficult to inquire.

"Big lady, relax, we must have a way." I don't believe that I can't cure the disobedient Gui.
