Zhiqi didn't expect that Wen Yao even knew about this, and had no face to defend himself. He just begged for mercy: "Miss, for the sake of my servant serving you for so many years, please forgive me."
Wen Yao just looked at her without speaking, her thoughts drifting away.
The four maids were handpicked by her and followed her all the way through the most difficult times. When they first started doing business, they followed her even when they knew how to play chess. They even dared to protect her when they encountered bandits. They were truly loyal at that time.
When did it start to change?
It was also because of this that Wen Yao did not completely give up her path to learning chess. He also gave her a contract to sell her body and gave her a dowry so that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Zhiqi knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at Wen Yao, like a prisoner waiting for his sentence.
Wen Yao let out a long breath, "How do you ask me to spare you? I have let you go, what else do you want? Is it possible that I will take you back to the palace, or even help you marry into the Li family, and then help Li
The scholar is looking for a job, would you like to help your son get settled as well?"
"Zhiqi, you also said that after so many years of friendship, I have let you go. I have not held you accountable for your fault, but I have also let you go free. If you are still not satisfied, then this little bit of friendship will be cut off by yourself.
of."
Zhiqi was silent and regretful, but finally said: "Miss, I really only have this last thought. I can't live with Li Xiucai if I can't marry him."
Zhiqin scolded her angrily: "Then you go die!"
"Don't say from now on that you walked out of the eldest lady. You are willing to die for a man. The eldest lady doesn't have a maid like you. We can't afford to lose this man."
Zhiqi just cried and had no words to reply.
Zhishu couldn't bear it and said for her: "But the eldest lady, she, she is already pregnant with Li Xiucai's child."
Boom!
Wen Yao's head suddenly exploded, like a lightning strike. He actually gave and received secretly, and had a child out of wedlock with others?
Others were also extremely shocked. She was so brave!
The maids are the same as the master's property. Only the master can decide the maids' marriages. Even the maids' families are not qualified to take care of them. How dare Zhiqi?
It spreads out that Wen Yao's reputation is not good. She is not strict with her servants and allows her maid to live with others. Her master will also be criticized by others.
Zhiqin no longer knew how to scold her, and was indescribably disappointed and angry: "Zhiqi, how dare you? Are you worthy of the eldest lady?"
Zhiqi was helpless: "I thought everything would be fine, but who knew that Zhihua would dare to betray the eldest lady? If I accompanied the eldest lady into the palace, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Zhiqin couldn't bear it anymore, raised her hand and slapped her twice: "Shut up, do you still want to throw me into the palace?"
Wen Yao was completely disappointed, "Zhiqin, forget it, they are all grown up and their hearts are wild. It was also my negligence for not settling them down earlier."
There was some hope in Zhiqi's eyes. She had followed Wen Yao for so many years, and she knew her temper best. She looked cold and ruthless, but in fact she was the most soft-hearted. This was the case with several young masters. They said they didn't care anymore, but none of them really gave up.
Pass.
Wen Yao continued: "You can leave. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with the Wen family. I have already canceled the contract of betrayal, and I have nothing to do with you."
Zhiqi couldn't believe it: "Miss, if you let me go, didn't you tell me to die? Please help me one last time, Miss. As long as I can leave the palace, everything will be fine, and my life in the Li family will be fine."
If I can survive, I will remember the kindness of the eldest lady for the rest of my life."
Wen Yao said coldly: "What do you mean, if I don't help you, you will hate me forever?"
"I don't dare, slave."
"Why don't you dare?" Wen Yao said: "You already hate me now. You have started to hate me since I didn't take you with me. Am I right?
Zhiqi, I am soft-hearted and value my feelings, but you have forgotten that I also have my own principles. Ever since you had an affair with Li Xiucai, you have already betrayed me. How can I be soft-hearted towards someone who betrays me?"
"I didn't pursue you. Isn't it enough to punish you? Since you don't appreciate it, that's fine, Zhiqin. Those shops and fields will be taken back and the money will be left to her. The relationship between our master and servant will be cut off and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on.
"
Zhiqi didn't expect that Wen Yao not only refused to help, but also took the things away. Isn't this just stealing the chicken but losing the rice?
"Miss, please..."
Wen Yao waved her hand, and several women came in, gagged them and went out, and the room instantly became quiet.
Zhishu knelt obediently, waiting for Wen Yao to give up without any excuses.
Wen Yao looked at her and said, "Zhishu, you are very smart. You are the most thoughtful among the maids. It's a pity that your cleverness is mistaken for your cleverness."
Zhishu raised his head with a calm expression: "I don't understand what the eldest lady said."
"Don't understand?" Wen Yao said: "Then I will let you understand that you used my name to send Yuan Rui a purse. Do you think I don't know?"
Zhishu looked at her in shock, his face turned pale instantly, the eldest lady actually knew?
Wen Yao continued: "It seems that you are interceding for Zhiqi, but in fact, you are telling this scandal, which has blocked Zhiqi's path. You and Zhiqi have the best relationship. She has come to this step by step. How dare you
Are you saying that it’s not due to your instigation?”
"It is true that you understand me, but I also understand you, but I treat you as one of my own and will be tolerant. Now that you have broken off the master-servant relationship for so many years, don't blame me for being cruel.
Zhiqin, take back the shop and fields in the same way and send her away."
Zhishu didn't have the face to defend herself. She thought she was doing it very secretly, but she didn't expect that the eldest lady knew everything.
Zhiqin blamed herself: "Miss, it's all slaves who are negligent. They actually..."
Wen Yao raised her hand, not letting her continue, and said: "I don't blame you, it's because I rely too much on you and leave everything to you. They are jealous, and they are too busy to think about something."
Some have no idea.
But it also has something to do with their nature. It doesn’t matter if they leave. If the old ones don’t go and the new ones don’t come, it’s enough for me to have you.
But we have agreed that if you have someone you like, confess it as soon as possible and don’t do stupid things."
Zhiqin said in embarrassment, "Miss, you are making fun of me. How could I do this?"
She is not stupid, she is unmarried and lives alone, the world does not tolerate her, her husband's family also looks down on her, so much love has no status, it is just a mirror.
Wen Yuan warned her cousins: "You are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today, remember?"
"Remember, sister, don't worry, we promise to keep it secret."
Wen Yuan was a little worried. The eldest sister was now the crown prince, and if someone knew about chess, the consequences would be serious.
Wen Yao smiled, "No need to be so nervous, it's a trivial matter, but I still hope that my sisters can be sensible and don't be confused for a moment and do some tricks behind the scenes. If I find out, our cousins' faces won't look good."
