Jiang Wu was shocked. She covered her face and looked up. Jiang Qingshan had already walked down and was standing in front of her, looking at her coldly.
"Did I say you were allowed to get involved in these things?"
Jiang Wu covered her face, and the pain on her face suddenly started to burn. Jiang Qingshan's slap was not light, and there was no force at all. She had no doubt that the wound would swell tomorrow.
Seeing her being beaten, Jiang Xuelan became even more frightened. Jiang Wu became angry and sneered: "Did father ask why? Did he ask what happened? I was just standing there, why did you say I was causing trouble outside?
And you slapped me for no reason?"
Jiang Qingshan snorted coldly: "I only care about the reputation of my Pingxuanhou Mansion."
Jiang Wu was thinking, what does it have to do with me?
So, she simply stood up, patted her butt, and saluted, "So, father, have you finished your punishment?"
Jiang Qingshan frowned: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Wu also followed his example and frowned: "I just followed what you said, father. You said you didn't care about the truth of the incident and just wanted to protect the reputation of Pingxuanhou Mansion. I don't think it's better than this. Since you have already
After you slapped me, it would be better to tell the outside world that you would ground me for another month, which would also protect the reputation of the house."
"So..." She looked Jiang Qingshan up and down, as unfamiliar as when they first met, "So let's just settle this matter today. I have something to do later. Goodbye."
"You——!" Jiang Qingshan was so angry that he picked up the tea cup and wanted to smash it, but Jiang Wu said coldly: "The housekeeper told me that this tea cup was given by the Royal Censor last year. It is said that it is very difficult to get. You
Are you sure you want to smash it first?"
Jiang Qingshan's hand just froze in mid-air.
Looking again, Jiang Wu was gone.
…
In Fuqu Pavilion, Mo Hua and Yi Lan stood cautiously. Jiang Wu knocked on the table, "Father came back suddenly, how could he know that Jiang Xuelan and I had left the house? Besides, my father had not stopped us from leaving the house before. This time
The response was so big, why?”
She lowered her eyes and said, "I initiated the one-month grounding."
Yilan considered her guess and said: "But the time when the master will return to the house has always been unpredictable. Usually... usually when there is only the second lady in the house, the second miss is more well-behaved, so nothing happens. The master has always had a bad temper.
"
When Mo Hua heard this, he frowned secretly and gently tugged on Yilan's sleeve, thinking what did you mean by that? What does it mean that the second young lady is more well-behaved? Doesn't it mean that the eldest lady is not well-behaved?
You can hear Mo Hua, so why can't Jiang Wu? She looked at Yilan with a half-smile, "Yilan, which courtyard are you originally from?"
Yilan rolled her eyes and said, "To tell you what Miss, I used to be a servant of Zhuyuan and served the master."
"Oh..." Jiang Wu touched his nose, "So you think that because you were once my father's son, I will be afraid?"
When Yi Lan heard what she meant, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, but she still had the courage to kowtow: "The eldest lady has misunderstood. What I mean is that I can answer whatever the eldest lady asks."
"So that's it." Jiang Wu nodded, "Okay, it's okay. You can go down."
Yilan and Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They both stood up. When they were about to retreat, Jiang Wu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Yilan can stay."
Yi Lan froze. She was thinking just now that the eldest lady often went out and was very lenient with servants like them. Even if something like this happened today, she would not be angry. However, it turned out so quickly that the eldest lady called to stop.
She did.
What does she want to do?
Jiang Wu's face was expressionless, and then he gave a cold smile: "Mo Hua, go and summon all the maids and women in this yard, including the concierge."
Yilan swallowed her saliva and immediately knelt down, "Miss, please have mercy!"
Jiang Wu shrugged, "So what if I don't open it?"
Yilan: "Ah?"
…
At noon, Jiang Wu moved a chair and sat at the door, while the servants in the yard, Wuyang Wuyang, stood in several rows.
Jiang Wu held his chin and crossed his legs lazily, "I discovered today that there seems to be someone who doesn't want to stay in my Fuqu Pavilion."
Although these were servants, they were working in the Marquis' Mansion and had no ability to observe people's emotions. When they heard Jiang Wu's words, they all knelt on the ground.
Jiang Wu didn't like to beat around the bush, so he spoke very directly: "I've thought about it. Since I returned home, I sometimes run between Fusi and Houfu in Beizhen. I'm not often in the yard. You see that I'm not here, so I'm a little lazy.
Actually, it doesn’t matter to me.”
“In some cases, the weeds and fallen leaves in the yard were not swept away, the shelves were covered with dust, or the dishes in the small kitchen were not prepared in time, and even... even after I made it clear that I would get a rash after eating fungi, I still put them in the dishes.
Ding mushrooms, there are countless such things.”
The servants were all sweating after hearing this. At first they thought this young lady was very beautiful, not rude, and somewhat treated her as their master. However, within a few days they discovered that she often went out and was not interested in eating.
, I don’t really care about the environment. I guess my life is rough and I don’t care about these trivial things.
I just discovered it today. It turns out that it’s not that they didn’t notice it, they were just too lazy to tell me.
Jiang Wu looked at Yi Lan, and although his tone was very cold, he still had a smile on his face: "I originally thought that it would not be easy for you, you work hard every day, but the wages are not very much, but today I found that just
Even if I make you lazy and relaxed, you will not be satisfied and you still want more silver."
"Today, I will stop talking. Anyone who has given information about my whereabouts to the second lady or the main hospital should come forward now. I will not punish you, and I will also turn over this month's monthly payment.
I'll give it to you twice as much, regardless of whether you signed a death contract or not."
The servants were a little hesitant and began to whisper to each other. If they left, where else could they find such a good job? The money given by Pingxuanhou Mansion was much more than those given by those outside, and even the food and clothing were better than those outside.
People who work hard are much better. Jiang Wu has a good temper and doesn't put on airs. Look at those big maids who always have cheerful faces.
The servants thought, after all, Jiang Wu was young, how could he really be cruel enough to do anything to them?
After much nagging, no one wanted to leave.
Only Yilan opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't speak.
Jiang Wu said: "No one is willing to stand up, right?"
The servants kowtowed together to show their loyalty.
Jiang Wu sighed, people will never give up until the last moment.
She said: "Well, since no one is willing to stand up, you have to bear the consequences. The concierge went to the warehouse to report the situation and asked two young adults to come over."
Mo Hua boldly asked: "Miss, what do you want?"
Jiang Wu smiled: "Of course I beat Yilan to death."
