Chapter 215 Before fighting against the outside world, one must first settle down at home.
"Mr. Zhang, the one named Zhidong is also Wu Meiren's slave. Should he be released together?"
"Huh? Wu Meiren also has a palace maid? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Let it go, let it go, let it go! Hiss~" Zhang Defa lay on the bed and dried his buttocks. Hearing this, he was so excited that he suddenly touched the wound and gasped in pain. p>
When Zhichun was carrying a basket and going out of Tingli courtyard to get the meat, he happened to meet two eunuchs escorting Liu Sanzi back, with Zhidong following behind obediently.
Liu Sanzi expressed his grievances with runny noses and tears: "That bag of silver really does not belong to the slave. I don't know why it is in the slave's place. My father-in-law should be aware of it."
"If I want to leave Tingli Courtyard, I will ask Master Wu and get permission before leaving. But if I let my servant steal money, I will not dare even if I have ten brave men..."
Zhichun's face was grim, and he immediately stopped going to get the meat and hurried back to the West Side Hall to report to Lihua.
Soon Liu Sanzi and Zhidong were brought back to the West Side Hall.
The two eunuchs kicked Liu Sanzi to the ground, presented him with two bags of silver, and said to Lihua: "My lord Wu, Eunuch Zhang personally ordered us to hand over this slave with double-mindedness to your disposal. This is what we found last night."
Please take a look at the two bags of silver as evidence."
"Thank Eunuch Zhang for me." Lihua smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Zhichun..."
Knowing that spring was coming, he first stepped forward to take the two bags of silver, put them on the table next to him without ordering them, and then took out two purses and prepared to reward them.
The two eunuchs refused to accept her, and when the matter was done, they simply left.
Lihua praised: "The people under Eunuch Zhang are indeed noble and upright."
But this gesture of goodwill came too late. She remembered how Zhang Defa treated her, and she also remembered the special "preferential treatment" Zhichun received last night.
Zhidong knelt down beside Liu Sanzi automatically and waited for the two eunuchs to leave before saying, "Master, are you okay?"
Lihua said with a smile: "We are all innocent, so how can anything happen? I know the spring, help me know the winter, and let Eunuch Liu go."
Zhichun helped the person up as instructed and went to untie Liu Sanzi, when he gave him a fierce look.
Liu Sanzi was filled with surprise when he saw that Lihua was unharmed. He also saw that his life had been handed over to Lihua. He immediately became quiet and his eyes rolled around.
When he was let go, he immediately wailed and rushed over: "Master, it's so good to see you. I thought I would never see you again..."
Zhichun was afraid that he would offend Lihua, so she tripped her leg. Liu Sanzi said "ouch" and fell to the ground.
Lihua got straight to the point: "I heard that Eunuch Liu has found another job. I don't blame you for this, but thank you for not doing other unnecessary things."
This is Lihua's honest truth. Her expectations for Liu Sanzi are extremely low. He has not been bribed to frame her, which has exceeded her expectations.
What's more, Liu Sanzi disturbed Xiao Junzi's sight, which invisibly made a meritorious deed.
She can understand if people feel that there is no future in Tingliyuan and want to move to higher places.
Lihua stood up and walked to Liu Sanzi, condescendingly continuing: "Now I give you two choices, one is to continue to stay in Tingli courtyard, the other is to go to where you plan to work. I will also reward you with a bag of silver.
Our friendship is that of master and servant."
Liu Sanzi thought it was Lihua testing him, and cried like a dog chewing shit: "I was confused for a moment, please forgive me. I will stay in Tingliyuan to serve you, and I will not go anywhere."
She turned around and said: "Zhidong, the same goes for you. I'm afraid life in Tingliyuan will not be very peaceful from now on. If you want to leave at this time, I won't blame you. In addition to rewarding you with a bag of silver, I will also try to help you."
Find a decent job."
Zhichun came over with the two bags of silver and showed them to Liu Sanzi and Zhidong.
Liu Sanzi's heart moved slightly, thinking, isn't this a test?
Zhidong was stunned and quickly knelt down and shook his head: "Master, I don't want to leave. I want to stay in Tingli Courtyard."
"Huh? Why?" Lihua asked.
Zhidong murmured for a long time, and then said honestly: "You will have meat to eat, and the slaves next to you can't tell."
Lihua's smile did not change: "You have to think about it, you still have a choice now. If you choose to leave, the past will be wiped out, there will still be money to take, and there will be no consequences."
At this point, Lihua's voice suddenly turned cold, and her words were filled with murderous intent: "If you choose to stay, you will never have second thoughts in the future, even if you have thoughts, otherwise..."
Otherwise, Lihua didn't finish what she said later, but Liu Sanzi understood the chill in her words, and Zhidong also understood.
The palace became quiet again.
After a while, Zhidong kowtowed and resolutely chose to stay: "Master, in the past, no one cared where my slave was, but in Tingliyuan, both you and Sister Zhichun have gone out of their way for your slave. If I don't leave, if there is someone else in the future,
With two hearts, this slave will kill you first."
Lihua and Zhichun looked at each other and smiled a little.
The two of them had been observing this girl Zhidong for a long time. She was someone who repaid her kindness and had a loyal personality, but she was not stupid.
The most important thing is that it is inconspicuous and has no sense of presence, so it is easy to be ignored.
Take this interrogation as an example. Zhidong is honest and honest, and his words come across as honest and inconspicuous. He is not the focus of the interrogation.
The Criminal Division, Zhang Defa and others only focused on interrogating Liu Sanzi and Zhichun, and almost ignored Zhidong.
Zhidong was taken to the back of Jinghong Hall and locked in a small room. Only a person in charge of the punishment department asked him a few questions. He was kept locked in the back room and no one cared about him again until he was released today.
Lihua listened to her talk about these experiences and sighed. There are such strange people in the world, and even the interrogation can be ignored to the end.
This was not a good thing for Zhidong herself in the past, and she suffered a lot of unfair treatment because of it. For example, she was assigned to Tingliyuan and was picked up as leftovers. It was only thrown to her when she suddenly remembered.
But it is a great advantage for Lihua. This shows that Zhidong cannot arouse the wariness of others and is not a threat in the eyes of others.
If used properly, it can unleash huge potential. The most important thing is to be loyal and not stupid.
You can’t even find a girl like this with a lantern!
Lihua is very satisfied and feels that her luck is not too bad. Of the three people who were assigned to the palace for the first time, it is worth it if one of them can be used.
As for Liu Sanzi, after he discovered that what Lihua said was true, of course he took the silver and left happily.
In his opinion, Tingliyuan has bad feng shui and almost suffered a disaster within a few months of arriving. It is not a good place.
Moreover, following Wu Meiren doesn't seem like a promising future, and after staying, no matter how hard or tired you are, you won't be able to leave again.
So it is not difficult to choose the right Liu Sanzi.
He left happily, and he sincerely praised Lihua for his kindness. He was glad that his service was not in vain, and he had made such a large amount of money in a few months.
In the long years that followed, Liu Sanzi regretted this choice all the time. He was so heart-burning with regret that he beat the wall with hatred.
After a long, long time, he wished for countless times that he could turn back time and choose him again. He always dreamed that if he chose to stay, would the future position of the Queen's father-in-law be his?
