Shen Mingzhu didn't say a word. After her maid pointed out the problem and those people knelt on the ground, she took them away.
At this moment, listening to Taoyuan, from inside to outside, everyone who Mrs. Cui arranged to come in was as frightened and trembling.
They were afraid of being kicked out, and Mrs. Cui would blame them for their inability to do things well, and would even demote them to the village to work as coolies, or even send them out to be sold.
Most of these slaves were born at home, and a few were purchased from outside.
For aristocratic families, unlike those new officials or nouveau riche, all the girls and servants in the family are bought.
The Duke's mansion like theirs has been prosperous for several generations, and the servants have already married and raised children, so many young girls and servants also have children in their families.
If they were to be kicked out, their families would probably take them away and they would not sell them.
But this is even more embarrassing than those who were sold, because even their parents, brothers and sisters are naked, and they will be laughed at by other slaves, and they will not be able to hold their heads up.
Therefore, they don't want to be kicked out even if they live or die.
After a round of inspection, Shen Mingzhu took people back to the sleeping room specially prepared for her by Wen Songzhi, located in the east wing of the middle courtyard.
Shen Mingzhu has a rule in running the house. When he returns to the rest room, he will not deal with things. It is time to rest. No matter what happens, no matter who comes.
But the servants of the Wen family didn't understand, and they tried their best to talk to the girls and women around her, asking them to help and beg for mercy.
They know that anyone who can go out with their master is a person who is discerning and valued by his master.
But they were also very disappointed. No matter where they asked for help, they refused to help. They only said that they were just third-class girls and women. They were not even qualified to serve tea and talk to the princess, so how could they dare to ask for mercy.
Shen Mingzhu was leaning on the couch reading a book. After reading a few pages, she heard noises coming from outside the yard.
Biyun immediately ordered people to go and see what was going on.
Soon, Biyun came over and replied: "Miss, these are the young masters and ladies of the Wen family. They are making trouble outside, saying that we have stopped feeding the dogs the food provided in the kitchen, and they are going to starve to death."
Shen Mingzhu smiled, these people are also interesting.
In the morning, when the meal had just been cut off, they made no noise or made any fuss. Now it was almost noon, and they thought about breakfast again.
It's better to have lunch together.
She smiled and said: "Let someone send a message to the kitchen. Since the kitchen utensils are not ready yet, the prince will not have food to eat, and others will not have food to eat. Except for Mrs. Cui and the Duke of Guo, no matter who wants to send food
, they will all be snatched and fed to the dogs.”
She just wanted to teach them that in the Duke's Mansion, besides the Duke, the Crown Prince has the most honorable status.
If they thought they wanted to bully him for not being able to take care of his own mother, and now being ignored by the queen, then they had made a wrong calculation.
And her people were guarding the courtyard gate. As long as she didn't give the order to release them, those servants couldn't come in at all and could only make noises at the door.
Soon, they realized that they wouldn't have any lunch, and complaints started to spread.
"She wants to starve us to death. Why should she? She is the oldest and she is not from our Wen family."
"Let's go and ask Madam for comment."
"But Madam said she has a headache and no one wants to see her."
