When the maid heard what Wen said, her face suddenly turned pale, and she suddenly looked at Shen Yunchu with pleading eyes. Shen Yunchu's heroic eyebrows frowned, "Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This maid She was just forced by Liu’s mother to give false testimony. The crime is not punishable by death. It would be cruel to beat her to death. How about leaving her in Wutong Garden and letting my daughter slowly educate her?"
How could Webster allow things to get out of her control? She righteously rejected Shen Yunchu's request, "There are state laws and family rules. If she makes a mistake, she will be punished. Our Shen Mansion cannot afford to keep such a wicked person." , let alone encourage the bad habits of deceiving the master and slandering the master. If you spare her today, you will have to spare others tomorrow. How will you convince the public in the future?"
"Does Mother Meng also want to be beaten to death with sticks?" Shen Yunchu's immature face was full of doubts. The innocent look of a little girl who was not familiar with the world and asked her mother a question made Webster choke. After all, there was more than one person who deceived the master, and Mother Meng knew her henchmen, so she always wanted to protect Mother Meng.
"The law is nothing more than human feelings. The Shen Mansion has always paid attention to clear rewards and punishments. Mother Meng has worked in the Shen Mansion for many years and has never made a big mistake. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. Moreover, the sage said that if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no such thing as kindness. She must have been confused this time, so just fine her three months of regular money and let her make up for her mistake." Wei Shi took advantage of the situation and put his hand on Shen Yunchu's little hand, pretending to be a loving mother teaching her.
What a favor within the law!
The girl from Lifengyuan was about to be beaten to death with sticks, but Mother Meng only fined her three months of regular silver. This is the so-called clear distinction between rewards and punishments. However, her intercession on behalf of the maid in Lifengyuan was just to test Webster, and Webster She would rather leave a trail than spare someone's life. Shen Yunchu became more and more certain that there was something fishy about this matter.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunchu took out his hand and took Wen's hand, looking at her with a pitiful expression. Wen said: "Since we want to punish her severely and scare the monkeys without harming her life, it is better to punish her." Sold."
Wei Shi secretly thought that the maid in Lifengyuan had heard something she shouldn't have heard from the corner, and she must be silenced. However, Wen's husband was the most powerful general under General Shen, and she always had to be treated a little less favorably, so why not spare her first? He then cut off her tongue and sold her to the shady land of smoke and willows, where she would never be able to speak again, thus allowing her to keep the secret.
After thinking about this, Wei Shi smiled at Wen Shi and said, "My brothers and sisters are very considerate. We will take this naughty slave who deceived his master and keep him under guard. Tomorrow, we will find Ren Yazi and sell them together. As for Meng." Mom, you go down too and serve me wholeheartedly from now on. If you make another mistake, you will not be leniently punished."
Webster was such a hypocritical person in her previous life. Shen Yunchu naturally understood all her sinister methods, but she did not have the kindness to care about the life and death of others. As for the maid who listened to the corner, Webster was The Shen family had everything covered, so naturally she couldn't directly disobey Wei's wishes for a little maid. However, if she wanted to get the news she wanted from the maid, there were many ways, so Shen Yunchu decided to remain silent.
After everyone left, Webster's majestic eyes glanced at Mother Liu who was kneeling in the corner and did not dare to say a word. After a few words of greetings with Mrs. Wen, she changed the subject and asked the mother-in-law next to her, "How is Fourth Aunt doing now?"
