After Xie Shi, Ye Qiong, and Ye Jin returned home from prison, they took a nap for a while, and then talked to Mrs. Shen about the situation of the two in prison.

Mrs. Shen picked out the best ointment to put on Ye Qiong's face, and while listening to Xie's report, she couldn't help nodding: "You guys did a good job, in this way, I can also be a little more relieved." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Shen took Ye Qiong's hand and patted it again, saying, "This is all the credit of our family." ”

Ye Qiong shook her head and said, "Grandmother, I'm not good enough. ”

Ye Yao joked on the side: "Qiong'er is so good, so good that I won't eat your grandmother's vinegar!" ”

Mrs. Shen laughed, grabbed Ye Yao, and said with a smile: "It's all my heart!" ”

Ye Jin also shouted: "Grandmother, and me!" ”

Xie Shi also laughed, but there was still a sad look between his eyebrows: "Mother, I'm thinking if we should go and see the Queen Mother again, with the relationship between Mother and Queen Mother, it is unreasonable not to go......"

Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "That's what I mean." The only ones you have befriended in Beijing are the Xie family in the capital and the daughters of a few Wenchen families, all of whom are heartless and unreliable. I thought to myself, why don't we go to a few of the world's friends outside the capital, and wonder if we can ask them to help talk......

Ye Jin pondered for a while and said, "Grandmother and Auntie, I also want to go to live in the big house for a few days, I'm worried that Cousin Lang can't be busy alone, if I can, I will hire a famous doctor for Brother Po'er, and see if I can connect with Shaodan by the way." ”

Xie Shi nodded and agreed: "Be careful, don't implicate the son of the Lu family." ”

Ye Jin responded and hurriedly went out.

Xie served Mrs. Shen and stood up, but Mrs. Shen took her hand and looked at her two granddaughters: "Daughter-in-law, give the big key to Yao'er and Qiong'er, we are not here for a few days, we should let them take care of the house, and I can trust my two granddaughters." ”

Xie Shi was stunned, nodded, and asked Feng's mother, who followed, to take the big key and give it to Ye Yao, and then took off a small tooth card from her waist and handed it to the two of them: "Needless to say, the tooth card is the certificate of the Xie family in Jiangnan, and it has nothing to do with the Xie family in the capital. Mother Feng also left it to you. ”

When Feng's mother heard this, she immediately curtsy to the two sisters and stood behind them.

Ye Yao, as the eldest sister, took it for the two sisters, and only felt that the two small objects in her hands weighed a thousand catties.

Mrs. Shen said to the maid beside her, "Go and call the egret to come over." ”

Xie Shi's eyes widened: "Mother? ”

Mrs. Shen waved her hand, Ye Qiong and Ye Yao glanced at each other, and they didn't know who this person was.

After a while, the egret came over. This person is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a straight posture, slender legs, wearing a plain power suit, and the lower plate is extremely stable.

The egret knelt down and saluted Mrs. Shen, who personally helped her up, but asked Ye Qiong and Ye Yao to salute: "This person is your fifth uncle's biological cousin, and he is the daughter of Aunt Bai's sister, you have to call your cousin." She has practiced martial arts with the maid I brought from northern Xinjiang, and her martial arts are excellent, and your fifth uncle's martial arts are taught by her. ”

The egret denied it with a serious expression: "Mrs. Shen has praised it falsely. ”

Mrs. Shen smiled, pointed at Ye Qiong and Ye Yao, and said, "After you were widowed, you shouldn't have bothered you anymore, but now you also know the situation of the Ye family." I beg you to protect my two granddaughters, would you like to? ”

The egret hugged his fists at Ye Qiong and Ye Yao, and behaved in a faction: "Mrs. Shen has helped me for many years after I was widowed, how can I refuse?" ”

Ye Qiong's eyes were bright, she didn't know that there was such a character in the Ye family in her previous life, the fifth uncle's martial arts were so good, and the martial arts of Aunt Bai were even better!

Mrs. Shen nodded with satisfaction, and with the support of the Xie family, she put on her imperial clothes and went to the palace gate to ask to see the Queen Mother.

On the third day after Xie and Mrs. Shen left, there was an accident in the inner courtyard of the Ye family.

Steward Ye in the outer courtyard asked to see a maid with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, saying that the Jinyi guard guarding the gate of the inner courtyard found that this person had a suspicious appearance and handed it to him, and he checked and found that this maid had actually taken Mrs. Shen's belongings and wanted to escape.

Ye Qiong was so angry that she immediately dropped a tea cup.

Regardless of this maid's stealing behavior, Jin Yiwei still dares to play this set under his nose, this guts is really fat enough to swallow the sky! What kind of person is Jinyiwei, listen to heaven!

If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely feel that the Ye family's housekeeper was not strict.

Ye Yao also knew that the situation was serious, and asked Ye Qiong: "Qiong'er, in my opinion, we might as well kill chickens and monkeys?" ”

Ye Qiong nodded and shook her head, saying, "Chickens are to be killed, and monkeys are also to be exemplified." I'm afraid, in today's situation, killing chickens and monkeys still dares to take risks, after all, in the eyes of most people, the Ye family is in danger. ”

Ye Yao reacted and asked, "You mean, to dismiss all the subordinates who have different intentions?" ”

Ye Qiong nodded: "Exactly, take this opportunity to clean the whole house." ”

Ye Yao made a decision, and looked forward a little: "Qiong'er, should we wait for A-Niang to come back first?" ”

Ye Qiong shook her head categorically: "When A-Niang comes back, this matter will not be easy to do." ”

In the memory of Ye Qiong's previous life, after the Ye family was in trouble, the people were panicked, many people had different intentions, stealing and the like were even trivial, and even some people colluded with robbers to come in and rob the dowry of A-Niang, who was not confiscated.

Most of the subordinates with different intentions have been loyal before--------------------------, these people can't stay anymore because of such a good opportunity.

Ye Yao no longer objected, so Ye Qiong called Mother Feng and instructed in her ear: "Mother Feng, you go and gather everyone in the outer courtyard and inner courtyard to the meeting hall, remember to talk to Jiang Baihu first." ”

Mother Feng nodded, and went to inform her.

Ye Qiong looked at the egret again, and when the egret saw this, he said, "Girl, please command." ”

"What do you order, we have to ask Cousin Bai for help." Ye Qiong said with a smile, "Please also ask Cousin Bai to wish us a helping hand later." ”

The Ye family's meeting hall is located at the junction of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and it is the most spacious place in the entire Ye family, and it is now chattering and crowding people.

Ye Qiong and Ye Yao each brought their two big maids to the conference hall and sat on the chairs in the hall. There was silence in the council room, and everyone had a look of confusion or disdain on their faces, and only a few of them had bright expressions.

Outside the courtyard gate, Jiang Baihu walked in, Ye Qiong and Ye Yao were startled and were busy to greet them, but Jiang Baihu waved his hand and sat in the guest seat in the hall, saying, "Come down and listen to one or two, please don't care." ”

Ye Qiong and Ye Yao exchanged glances, feeling a little apprehensive in their hearts.

The people in the hall were still waiting, Ye Yao glanced at Feng's mother, Feng's mother clapped her hands, and Steward Ye came up with a bound maid, escorted her to her kneel in front of the two, and said, "This person is a third-class maid in the old lady's courtyard who is responsible for tending to flowers and plants, named Qian'er, and she was bought from outside." was caught by the adults of the brocade guard and rolled up the deed of sale and the old lady's set of dotted cui head to escape, dare to ask the eldest girl and the second girl how to deal with it? ”

Ye Qiong looked at Steward Ye appreciatively.

Ye's housekeeper's name is Ye Ping, who was originally an orphan, and was later adopted by his grandfather as a scholar and named Ah Ping, who saved his grandfather's life in the former palace change and was given the surname Ye, but he has been lame since then. Steward Ye is the most loyal, although he is free, he has always been a housekeeper in the Ye family. In his previous life, he and Feng's mother never left the Ye family after they were down, and they always took care of the fifth uncle and the abandoned sister, but unfortunately the Ye housekeeper died of overwork before he got married.

Ye Yao and Ye Qiong discussed in a low voice for a while, and Ye Yao came forward and said: "According to the law of Da Liang, those who have committed theft and have no wealth will have fifty rods." Naturally, the family law of my Ye family cannot violate the law of the country, so let's be executed. ”

Qian'er immediately struggled and shouted, "I don't accept it, I don't accept it!" Isn't it just a little green head, your Ye family is rich, and your daughter-in-law is still from the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, why are you stopping me from making money? ”

Ye Qiong skimmed the tea foam with the teacup, glanced at the egret, the egret nodded, immediately walked over and grabbed Qian'er's wrist and twisted it, so painful that Qian'er screamed, the egret frowned, Xu thought she was noisy, and removed her chin again.

A set of actions was so smooth that even Jiang Baihu, who was watching the play, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Ye Qiong glanced at the people in the hall who suddenly changed their faces, and said, "Qian'er reminded me, and I have to add the charge of stealing the master as a slave." Seeing that she is thin, only add twenty canes, don't worry, if you can't beat people, the Ye family will invite a doctor, and if you pass out, you will slow down, and then fight after the injury is healed. ”

The twelve-year-old girl sat on the high hall and smiled, as if she was saying that the flowers were blooming so well, but it made everyone present feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Only Ye Yao felt even more sad, and reached out to hold Ye Qiong's hand, only to feel that it was very cold.

Jiang Baihu touched his chin, and he was a little impressed by the little girl of the Ye family.

The egret had already escorted Qian'er to the execution bench, picked up the wooden staff and beat it down, counting in his mouth: "One, two...... Twenty-three, twenty-four......"

Qian'er couldn't even shout because of her jaw off, only the babbling sound leaking out of her throat, which made people stand on end even more.

However, just after thirty canes, Qian'er had already fainted, and the people in the hall were all like vegetables except for Ye Qiong and Ye Yao.

Ye Qiong whispered to the Liuying and Su Kite beside her to take Qian'er down for treatment, and the faces of the two were not very good, but they still nodded firmly.

Ye Yao saw that the atmosphere had arrived, so she said coldly: "We know that now that my father and uncle are in prison, many people are afraid of affecting themselves, this is human nature, and we can understand it. But the Ye family can't tolerate betrayal of the master, and now everyone has seen Qian'er's end. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Yao cleared his throat, raised his voice and said: "Except for those who are still locked up by the adults of Jinyiwei now, if anyone in the hall wants to leave, they can bring it up now, the Ye family will not stop you, and will give you a sum of money according to your position seniority." If you want to leave after this, you can't. ”

As soon as these words came out, the pot exploded at the bottom, and someone immediately pointed out: "I, I still have old mothers and children at home, I want to leave!" ”

Ye Qiong looked at it coldly, it was the subordinate who colluded with the robbers in his previous life.

Ye Yao nodded, and the eldest maid Xiang'er who followed her took notes and wrote down the person's name, and the other eldest maid Yu'er took out the silver and handed it to the person.

Seeing that they really got the silver, more people stood up, afraid that they would not be able to get the silver if they were late.

Throughout the whole process, Ye Qiong sat on the side with tea, her expression was cold, but she sighed in her heart.

The move just now was discussed by her and her sister in advance, she was younger and was responsible for the execution with a white face, and her sister was more serious about singing with a red face to preside over the overall situation, and now it seems that the effect is good.

Those who take the money and leave are those who were not faithful in their previous lives, and now they are faster than rabbits.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, and it is no wonder that they are.

Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, leaving the Ye family means losing the shelter of the Ye family, and it is difficult to say whether they can find a better home than the Ye family.

If something happens to the Ye family, they are the servants dismissed from the prisoner's family, and the better ones will not want them; The Ye family has nothing to do, they are ungrateful, and no one will want it.

In an instant, there were only about 20 people left in the noisy council room, Ye Qiong nodded, confirming that those left behind were all loyal people in the memory of his previous life, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.

These people pushed a representative out, it was Mother Fan, who was originally in charge of boiling hot water in the kitchen, and she smiled honestly and said: "Let's not talk about it, I have also done it in places like the palace before, and it is much more magnificent than the Ye Mansion." But it seems that Yefu is the most real, and the porridge sent by the porridge shed built by Yefu during the New Year's holidays is the thickest, which shows benevolence. The lady of the house is kind and generous, and the girls now have the means and courage, although the means are a little spicy, but they can calm people and set rules. I, ah, still want to stay in our Ye Mansion. ”

Ye Qiong put down the teacup and said, "You are an understanding person. ”

Several of the people who stayed behind laughed with Fan's mother, and their eyes seemed to be glowing when they looked at Ye Qiong.

They can see it really just now, this matter is obviously the decision of the second girl, with such a master, the Ye family does not worry about turning over, and they are also at ease.

Ye Yao said with a smile: "Now there is no one in the house, please follow Mother Feng to redivide the errand, this time is hard for everyone, rest assured, the monthly money will rise accordingly." ”

Everyone smiled and nodded, and went their own way.

Jiang Baihu watched a good show, and also smiled to the two sisters, especially Ye Qiong, and said: "The second girl has a good means to let Jiang watch a good show." With two girls here, it is easier for Jinyi Wei to take care of the Ye family's portal. ”

With that, Jiang Baihu took his leave.

Ye Qiong jumped down from the high chair and slapped Ye Yao's back: "Thank you for your hard work, sister." ”

Ye Yao held her hand and said distressedly: "You are, if you have to sing with a white face, several subordinates are afraid of you." ”

Ye Qiong shook her head with a smile, but Yu Guang saw that her grandmother and Xie were already standing under the council hall and looked at them with a smile.

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Xie looked at Ye Qiong, and they had a sense of pride that "my family has a girl who has just grown up", and smiled at her.

"Grandmother!" Ye Qiong rushed to Mrs. Shen's side, "How's the situation?" ”

Mrs. Shen sighed and said, "The Queen Mother is gone." I heard that the Queen Mother was gone, and the high doors in Beijing were closed. ”

Ye Qiong already knew the answer in her heart, but she couldn't help but sigh.

People are cold, but that's it.
