Chapter XXVI: The Just Lady
Looking at the few people kneeling by the door, Mrs. Gu was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, slammed the tea pot in her hand on the table, gritted her teeth and said, "It turns out that there are still such things that are too short-sighted, it should really be cleaned up!" ”
She glared at Gu Mingzhu, her eyes were almost on fire, and she decided that Gu Mingzhu had deliberately come to touch her moldy head.
Looking at Gu Mingzhu's luxurious dress again, and seeing Gu Mingyue's simple dress and supple appearance on the side, he felt that Gu Mingzhu was a scourge, if it weren't for the fact that she was born to that woman, her status was precious and she couldn't be easily taught, otherwise she would have been cleaned up a long time ago!
Luo Che sneered on his face, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Where is this, it was also because there were not enough people in the house over there before, so I picked a few from here and sent them over." Originally, they all looked clean and honest, how could they ......?"
She turned her face to the kneeling maids and rebuked, "What the hell is going on? You are so bold that you dare to do such a thing! ”
She could see that these were all specially selected by her at the beginning, all of them were smart and eye-catching, and they were the most suitable to put in the East Mansion, and any news could be sent over quickly, but all of them were brought over by Gu Mingzhu.
When the handmaidens heard Luo's question, they were so busy that they stepped forward to cry and complain about their wrongs, with a look of grievance.
It's just that before the words came out, Gu Mingzhu had already put down the tea pot and said unhurriedly: "What Madame said is that you are really bold, you dare to steal even the jewelry given by the emperor, I don't know if this is a big crime, even Madame can't protect you, not to mention that if you do such a thing, Madame will be the first to cure your sin, after all, you were picked by Madame and sent to the house over there!" ”
The handmaids' faces were even paler, and they dared to say anything more, but they just kowtowed: "The maids don't dare, they don't dare to ......."
Luo's eyes tightened, and she turned her head to look at Gu Mingzhu with confusion, she didn't understand what this eldest lady was going to do, and why she was making such a fuss.
These handmaidens were all sent by her, and they would never be so shallow as to steal the jewels given by the emperor, not to mention that destroying the gifts is a big crime, even if the jewelry is stolen, there is no way to sell it, who would be stupid enough to do such a thing.
"What the eldest lady said is true, if they do something like that, I will not be the first to spare them, and I will definitely not spare them." Luo looked at Gu Mingzhu with that kind of speculative gaze, "It's just that this matter hasn't been asked clearly after all, so it's better to ......."
She wanted to say that it was better to leave it to her to deal with, and she couldn't let Gu Mingzhu mess around and figure out what the hell was going on.
Gu Mingzhu grinned: "The stolen goods have been obtained, what else is not clear." ”
She looked at Roche: "Could it be that Mrs. Cheng thinks I have wronged them?" ”
She is the only master in Dongfu, and the jewelry is hers, and she said that whoever stole it was who stole it, and who could say anything.
Luo Shi choked, couldn't speak for a while, and then said softly for a while: "Naturally this is not what you mean, what is the eldest lady going to do?" ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at Luo with a smile: "What does Madame think?" ”
Luo Zhi felt that her bright smile was a little oozing, this big lady was really unusual these days, her speech and demeanor were very different from the past, and she couldn't guess the big lady's mind now.
"Since they have done such a bold thing, I naturally can't tolerate them, so I will punish them well, and send them to Zhuangzi, and the Dongfu side can't have a short time to serve, so I will pick someone to send it over." Luo said and looked at Gu Mingzhu.
Sure enough, I had a good plan to change these people back, not to mention that it was still her people who sent them over, but these few people were only afraid that the so-called punishment was also thunderous and rainy, and it was still in her hands to send it to Zhuangzi, and who knew if she would enter the house to serve after a while.
Gu Mingzhu glanced at her stepmother, Luo is really a shrewd person, she can make the whole house respect her over the years, and they all feel that she is kind and kind, even the old lady Gu is so picky and difficult to serve is very trusting of her, and she can't be underestimated with this alone.
At the beginning, Gu Mingzhu was not wary of Luo, and lived step by step according to her arrangement.
She shook her head, her smile unchanged: "Madam misunderstood, since they have already been sent to the East Mansion and have done such things in the East Mansion, there is naturally no reason to send them back." ”
She leisurely played with the Buddha's hand on the desk: "I brought them here to ask Mrs. to help punish them, and there is no need to avoid it, just punish them here, so as to teach others to understand that Mrs. has always been fair and selfless, and will never let others come nonsense." ”
Old Madam Gu and Luo Shi's faces changed, staring at Gu Mingzhu: "You said you were going to punish them here?" ”
It's just a few handmaidens, and it's up to her to punish her, but she wants to bring people over, and she wants Luo to deal with them!
Gu Mingzhu looked at them very reasonably: "The old lady and the lady both know, I am still a lady who has not left the cabinet, where can I be heavy-handed, not to mention the person who was sent by the lady, of course, it is most appropriate to bring it back and ask the lady to punish it." ”
said so calmly, with her most delicate and benevolent appearance.
Luo Zhi was completely speechless, she could see that Gu Mingzhu was giving her a problem, and asked her to deal with her own people, but she couldn't say anything when she was alive, and if it was spread out, people could only blame her for any resentment.
But now that she has been forced by Gu Mingzhu, there is no other way, if she refuses to agree, she is afraid that people will suspect her intention to cover up.
"What the eldest lady said is that there are rules in the house, and since something like this happens, it naturally can't be spared." Luo said in a deep voice, "Come on, drag them out for fifty walks." ”
She said, turned her head away from the aggrieved and pleading eyes of the servants, at this time only ruthlessness can clear up the involvement.
Several maidservants cried and begged to be dragged out by their mother-in-law, they didn't expect the lady to be so ruthless, and they didn't even leave the slightest affection.
Gu Mingzhu nodded with a smile: "It is said that Mrs. is the fairest, and this is true." ”
She glanced at Abi: "If something like this happened in our house, you are my personal maidservant, after all, there is something wrong, punish you to look at the walking stick, so you can know that it is powerful." ”
Abi had already received the order, and retreated in a low voice, and followed them into the courtyard to watch them perform the cane execution.
Luo was so angry that he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and after eating several mouthfuls of tea and soup, he stabilized his face, and said to Gu Mingzhu: "It's just that I'm afraid that there will be fewer people to serve in the Dongfu, so why don't I pick a few more useful ones and send them over." ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head, with a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "Don't worry, I'm the only one in the mansion over there, and those people are enough to serve." It's just that after these few canes, what is the lady going to do with it? ”
Luo Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Send it to Zhuangzi, you can't stay in the house to serve." ”
Gu Mingzhu's face was solemn: "Madame is careless, although she doesn't stay in the mansion, it is not appropriate to send it to Zhuangzi." ”
"In the house over there, even the royal gifts dare to steal, it is already a thief's courage, if it is sent to Zhuangzi to cause trouble again, how good is it, not to mention teaching others to know, I am afraid that there are no rules in our house, and even such servants are still kept, isn't it a joke."
Roche already felt his hands tremble: "Then sell them?" ”
She was forced by Gu Mingzhu to speak, and today's affairs are completely out of her control.
Gu Mingzhu smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I just said that Madam is fair, and she couldn't be fairer, Mingzhu is really convinced." ”
Roche's heart was full of blood, and he was completely speechless.
