Chapter Twenty-Seven: Bullying the Master
Le Xilan paused, turned to look at Shi Dusk, and his expression was obscure.
"What is the general going to do?"
Twilight slowly put on her clothes, "Although I have a lot to ask him, it is inconvenient for me to show up. ”
"So, I'd like to ask him a few questions from you."
Le Xilan frowned slightly, "Why doesn't the general let Du Zhong do it for him?" He was the general's lieutenant and knew the art of interrogation. ”
"Although Jun Xiushan is a straw bag who can only sound dogs and horses, he also knows the people around me." Twilight looked at her, "Du Zhong came forward, maybe he would guess something." ”
Le Xilan was helpless and knew that he had to go.
She nodded reluctantly, "I'll come back to the general tonight." ”
Shi Du watched Le Xilan's back disappear, and his tense body relaxed.
Du Zhong came out of the shadows, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.
"Madame has changed a lot."
"The general has been in a coma for all these years, and his subordinates have been secretly observing her, hoping that she can help the prince, I thought it was delusional, but now it seems that my subordinates are still too one-sided."
Twilight sat up slowly and took a sip from the teacup.
"I have been married to her for many years, and I only got to know her today."
"She is extremely stable under the plate, and the hem of her skirt moves slightly when she walks, which shows that she not only knows medical skills, but also martial arts."
Du Zhong was slightly surprised, "My subordinates have never seen Madame do ......"
Shi Du said lightly: "I'll see it one day." ”
His intuition told him that Le Xilan would be a big help to him in the future.
Le Xilan, who returned to the courtyard, took the hot tea handed by Songmi, raised his head and poured a sip, but he still couldn't suppress the grievances in his heart.
Songmi felt her displeasure, and couldn't help but wonder: "The lady went to see the general for a while, how angry was she when she came back?" ”
When Youru, who was waiting on the side, heard this, she immediately came to Le Xilan's side, raised her eyebrows and said, "Who made Mrs. angry?" What a guts! ”
"Madame told the slave maid, and the slave went to him!"
Looking at Youru's indignant appearance, Le Xilan chuckled, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot.
"Now that the whole house is in charge of me, who dares to do this?"
"It's just that when I came back, I was frightened by the wild beavers passing by."
Youru breathed a sigh of relief, "The weather is getting colder, and the wild beavers want to find a warm place to spend the winter, and now the warmest place in the house is in our yard." ”
Le Xilan smiled.
She looked at the brazier in the center of the room, where the silver bone charcoal burned quietly, making the room as warm as spring.
She wouldn't have dared to think of such a thing before.
"When I came back, I heard a noise, what's wrong?" Le Xilan asked.
It was not close to the old lady's yard, and even if they wanted to make trouble, she would not be able to hear it.
Songmi pursed her lips, "Didn't you send a lot of people today?" Some black-hearted people were reluctant to have oil and water in the general's mansion, so they made a fuss in the front yard. ”
"Madame don't have to pay attention to it, let them make trouble!"
Le Xilan frowned slightly, "How long have they been making trouble?" ”
Youru thought for a while, "It's going to be half an hour, and I originally said that I would give them a sum of money to settle in, but suddenly my face changed, and I didn't leave in the front yard." ”
Le Xilan got up with a calm face, "You shouldn't let them make such trouble. ”
With that, she walked out of the room quickly.
Songmi and Youru glanced at each other, their faces full of puzzlement, and hurriedly followed.
When Le Xilan arrived in the front yard, he saw seven or eight people sitting on the ground crying loudly, and many people outside the general's mansion stopped and whispered when they turned around.
With a faint expression, she slowly walked up to them.
"Why are you crying?"
The people who couldn't stop crying saw Le Xilan coming, and their voices became louder.
"Madam, we have served in the General's Mansion for many years, but now we have been sent away at will like this, we are really wronged!"
"Yes, if we were lazy, Madame would have dealt with it casually, but, but we have done everything with all our hearts, and we have never made a mistake!"
Le Xilan looked at them coldly, "So you're making a lot of noise here, wanting to get justice?" ”
The servant immediately nodded along with her words.
"Even if the prisoner wants to kill his head, he must be convicted of a crime!"
"Madame, please be kind to Madame, and leave us! I have been serving by the old lady's side for three or four years, and the old lady always praises me for my ability! ”
Le Xilan was silent and fell his gaze outside the general's mansion.
The passers-by all frowned when they saw her, and their expressions were full of reproach, and they couldn't imagine that they would let Mrs. Shi take advantage of this loophole.
Because the old lady was sick for several days, it was rumored everywhere in Beijing that she did not respect her elders and treated her mother-in-law harshly.
She wanted to slowly reverse these comments, but now the old lady instructed these "henchmen" to cry here, which not only confirmed her unfilial piety, but also made her bear the vicious reputation of driving away the old slave who had served for many years.
Le Xilan's eyes were filled with coldness, it seemed that there were still many people in the general's mansion.
She should thank Mrs. Shi for reminding herself that there are still people who have not cleaned up.
Songmi and Youru behind Le Xilan listened to their noise, and stepped forward and scolded loudly: "You untrustworthy dogs, what dirty water do you want to pour on your lady?" ”
"That is, Madame is magnanimous, even if she dismisses you and gives you a large sum of money to live in, you are making noise here, looking at Madame and bullying you?"
A little ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the crying subordinate.
"Although Madame now has the right to stewardship, she can't act recklessly!"
"That's right, what is the reason for the two girls to rely on the power of their wives? We're the old people in the house! ”
Songmi and Youru blushed, wanting to have a good argument with them, but were stopped by Le Xilan.
"What do you want?" Le Xilan said lightly.
She knew very well that the noise of these subordinates was for outsiders to see, so that outsiders could see how she, the master of the General's Mansion, treated her mother-in-law and subordinates harshly.
Discerning with them is a waste of time.
Several subordinates glanced at each other, and a little smug flashed on their faces.
"Madame is also a sensible person, all we want is to stay and continue to serve the old lady." One of them said.
When the man had finished speaking, the rest of the people chimed in.
Le Xilan listened, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, "It's just like this?" ”
A few subordinates nodded hurriedly, as if the goal had been accomplished.
"Someone." Le Xilan spoke, "Drag it outside and beat it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people were stunned.
Before they could come back to their senses, several powerful guards stepped forward and grabbed their hands and dragged them out.
"Madame, what are you doing!"
Le Xilan followed out of the general's mansion, watched the nursing home pick up the stick, and when the stick fell, she said in a small voice: "You caused the old lady to fall ill, and you still have the face to go back to serve the old lady." ”
"Not only that, but they also tried to threaten me, I should be beaten!"
