Chapter 52 Disposal
The reward given by the Wang family?

Mrs. Wang sat up straight, and asked with a serious expression: "Be clear, what's going on?"

A sharp voice sounded in the room, and the maids all lowered their heads and kept silent.

Don't look at Mrs. Wang's good temper, gentleness and kindness now, but when she was young, she was a strong woman with strong wrists.

Mrs. Wang passed away early, and she was coveted by all wolves, tigers and leopards, and she raised four children by herself.

Among them, the eldest son won the title of Jinbang and went to other counties to be the county magistrate, the second son was a juren, the third son was in business, and the youngest daughter also married into a rich family in Fucheng.

With these actions, Mrs. Wang is not an ordinary old lady.

"It's like this..."

Xiuzhu couldn't help being a little nervous, and narrated what she saw exactly.

"boom!"

As the words fell, Mrs. Wang smashed the teacup by her hand to the ground.

It fell apart in an instant, the tea stained the ground and splashed onto the maid's embroidered shoes, but the maid did not move at all.

"Call the concierge over here!" Mrs. Wang ordered.

"Yes, old lady." A maid answered, turned and left.

After a while.

She walked into the main room with a man dressed as a servant, who was the porter of the Wang family.

"The servant has seen the old lady!"

The servant's waist was bent very low, his hanging hands trembled slightly, his heart was terrified, and he thought to himself, why did the old lady ask him to come over?

"You greeted those children who came to return the cat today?"

At this time, the servant girl had already brewed new tea and served it to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang held the teacup in one hand and the tea lid in the other, and gently stirred the floating leaves inside. Her movements were not hurried, and her tone was sparse and ordinary, as if she was gossip.

However, these light words were heard by Jia Ding, but made him sweat profusely.

"Returning to the old lady, it was greeted by the servant."

The servant's voice began to tremble, obviously nervous.

Mrs. Wang glanced at it, and she understood it in her heart.

"Crack!" The lid of the cup was buckled, and he asked straightforwardly, "They only got five hundred cash, didn't they?"

"Plop!" Jia Ding bent his knees, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang repeatedly.

"Old lady, I know I was wrong. I have lost my mind for money, and I have been greedy for money."

"I beg the old lady to forgive me, I beg the old lady to forgive me!"

Jia Ding wept bitterly and knocked his head on the ground louder and louder.

Mrs. Wang acted as if she hadn't seen her before, she said with a blank expression: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The servant stopped kowtowing and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Early this morning, they knocked on the door, claiming to see the old lady, but they were stopped by the servant, and they carried the cat out of the basket, and the servant was ecstatic..."

"Afterwards, the steward brought two taels of silver, but the slave saw that they were only three children, so he got a bad idea and only gave five hundred taels of silver."

The servant wiped his cold sweat and begged: "Madam, I know I made a mistake, so I will give them back the money they were greedy for."

"I beg the old lady to forgive me, I beg the old lady..."

Before finishing the rest of the sentence, Mrs. Wang waved her hand impatiently: "Procrastinate, the accountant sold it."

"Our royal family will not keep such evil slaves."

sale?

The servant panicked and was sold out. Who knows what his fate will be in the future, he has seniors and juniors, and he must never leave the Wang family.

"Old lady! Old lady! Please..."

Mrs. Wang waved her sleeves, and the nurses and maidservants beside her had already stepped forward, and called other servants to drag him out.

Gradually, the voice of the servant begging for mercy disappeared, and the room became quiet again.

At this time, all the servant girls knew in their hearts that this was a moment of tranquility before the storm, and the real drama would come next.

"Pass to the housekeeper." Mrs. Wang ordered.

Xiuzhu's eyebrows twitched, and she thought to herself, it seems that the old lady did not intend to settle the matter, and decided to investigate to the end.

She lowered her head, covering her eyes.

After a while, the butler came, bowed and said, "What is the old madam's order?"

"Are you greedy for eight taels of the ten taels of silver reward?"

Mrs. Wang didn't beat around the bush this time, she went straight to the point and asked the key points.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a brief silence, and a needle could be heard in the room.

After a few breaths, the housekeeper knelt down: "Yes, it's the slave who took the eight taels of silver."

This matter cannot be defended by the butler. He has been in the Wang family for so many years and is well-informed. Just when the porter was taken away, he had already received a letter from elsewhere.

It's a pity that time was too tight, and there was no time to think of a countermeasure, so Mrs. Wang called over.

The butler understood Mrs. Wang's character, denying it would only ruin him, and admitting his mistakes was the only way out.

"How long have you been in Wang's house?" Mrs. Wang's eyes were filled with memories.

"It's been 42 years." The butler couldn't help but sigh.

"The slave was sold by his family into the Wang family as a slave when he was eight years old. Fortunately, he was valued by the master and accepted as a personal servant to follow around."

The master the housekeeper spoke of was none other than Mrs. Wang's husband.

After his early death, relatives rushed in like a flood of beasts to fight for the family property.

Countless servants betrayed them, and the servants changed wave after wave, but only this housekeeper stood firmly by their orphans and widows.

Mrs. Wang also reciprocated, and supported her all the way, making him the chief steward of the Wang family, in charge of the entire front yard and backyard. Even her wife and children were properly arranged, but she didn't expect...

"42 years!" Mrs. Wang exclaimed.

"It turns out that so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Mrs. Wang shook her head and changed her voice: "I remember your little grandson was just born."

"Yes." The housekeeper couldn't figure out what Mrs. Wang was thinking, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "It was born a month ago, and the old lady even sent someone to deliver a longevity lock."

"He is a blessed child." Mrs. Wang nodded.

"You are not young at this age. It is inevitable that you will lose your energy and commit stupid things. It is time to rest and go home to entertain your grandchildren."

The housekeeper was shocked: "Yes, it's time to rest, thank you old lady for your kindness."

Soon, the butler resigned from his post, and the Wang family replaced him with a new butler.

……

the other side.

When the vegetable dumplings were sold out, Fat Miao'er, Li Xiaodao and others called Compass, and they returned to Dashi Village together pushing a borrowed cart.

After entering the house, she went straight to the main room, Liu Ye'er was worried, looked at several people and asked: "Do you think this method is easy to use?"

"What if it doesn't reach Mrs. Wang's ears?"

"What's the matter?" Fat Miao'er didn't care.

"Even if it doesn't reach Mrs. Wang's ears, it will definitely reach Mr. Wang's ears."

The Wang family's properties are all managed by the third master of the Wang family, including Fumanlou.

"Even if they don't care about it, at least we can let people know about the silver reward, and relieve their hunger."

Compass agrees with Fat Miaoer's approach very much.

when!when!when!
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
