Need for money

Aunt Wan stood on one side, her eyes flicked back and forth between Tang Yuxiang and Aunt Yu, and her heart was extremely nervous. Although Tang Yuxiang looked calm and Aunt Yu did not make a sound, the hostile aura of the two made the atmosphere in the entire hall extremely tense. She was bored, and she really wanted to go up and persuade her, but Tang Yuxiang was a regular wife, and it was only natural for her to ask her concubine to serve tea to her, while Aunt Yu was withdrawn and didn't like to talk. On the way here, she loved strangers at all. It's useless to talk and ignore.

The hall was surprisingly quiet at this moment, and the servants held their breaths, not daring to let out a breath. After Tang Yuxiang and Aunt Yu looked at each other for a while, they suddenly remembered something, and told Zhichun, "Go and get Rou Auntie and Aunt Shuang are also here, and I want to ask them if they have ever been made things difficult by this evil slave."

Although Zhichun was also frightened just now, she was timid and didn't dare to go up. At this time, her legs and feet were neat, and she responded and ran out of the hall like flying.

As Tang Yuxiang spoke, the dull atmosphere in the hall eased, and all the servants breathed out a long breath, feeling much better.

A flash of sadness flashed in Aunt Yu's cold eyes, she bit her lip, walked forward slowly, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Tang Yuxiang respectfully.

Aunt Wan at the side was relieved when she saw that Aunt Yu had finally given in. To be honest, she was really afraid that the two would start a fight. If a wife and a concubine with a lot of power started fighting, the wife would definitely take over. It's not cheap, but if the concubine beats the main wife, the matter will not be settled, and neither of them will be able to please!

Gently stroking her heart with a jade hand, she picked up the warm tea she had just poured and handed it to Aunt Yu.

After three knocks, Aunt Yu's eyes were dimmed, and she no longer had the slightest momentum on her body. She took the tea cup numbly, raised it above her head, and said, "My concubine greets the second grandma, and I wish the second grandma a long life." .”

Tang Yuxiang did not expect that Aunt Yu would give up so quickly. After taking the teacup, she saw that Aunt Yu's eyes were slackened, her forehead was bleeding, and she no longer had the slightest arrogance. She felt a sudden pain in her heart and regretted it. Come out, this Aunt Yu, just like her, is a proud person.

For an arrogant person, being humiliated in public is even more uncomfortable than killing her!

"Get up." The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it any more. Tang Yuxiang knew that the relationship between the two of them was settled.

Aunt Wan has a soft temper and is a few years older. She unconsciously regarded Aunt Yu as her younger sister. After hearing what Tang Yuxiang said, she hurried forward to help Aunt Yu up, and then stood behind Tang Yuxiang together.

Although Zhidong and Zhiqiu are Tang Yuxiang's close maids, they can only step back and give up their positions now.

"Second Mistress, do you want to bandage Steward Li's wound?" At this moment, a woman in coarse clothes with black ash on her face suddenly stepped forward and asked.

The rough envoy also moved her hand just now and helped a lot.

Hearing the reminder from the rough envoy, Tang Yuxiang remembered that Guanshi Li had just been slapped hard, and blood flowed all over his face. At that time, the chair fell apart in an instant. It can be seen that Aunt Yu killed decisively and was surprisingly powerful. Well, if it was her, let alone hitting people, even if she wanted to use two hands to lift the chair above her head, it would be difficult to do so.

Thinking that she was going head-to-head with such a No. [-] person, and Aunt Yu was standing behind her, she felt a chill behind her and couldn't help shivering.

Li Guanshi was dizzy from being hit just now, and almost thought he was going to die, only then did he realize that he was afraid, he knew Aunt Yu, and he had suffered from this woman before, if he had known that this woman would come, he would not The one who dared to yell, lying on the ground, he secretly looked at Aunt Yu, and saw that although she was like an iceberg as usual, but there seemed to be something missing.

Tang Yuxiang just saw with her own eyes that Guanshi Li was seriously injured, bleeding from her head. Originally, she wanted to have someone bandage her, but when she looked at Guanshi Li, Guanshi just averted his gaze from looking at Aunt Yu. looked at her.

The originally timid eyes stared at Tang Yuxiang, and immediately became extremely resentful. Li Guanshi hated this woman for breaking all his decency, and let the servants in the hall see him change with their own eyes. So embarrassed!

Tang Yuxiang was startled at first by this venomous look, and then furious. It seems that she is still too weak. Otherwise, why would Guanshi Li be afraid of his Aunt Yu, who he had a crush on, and not be afraid of her, the second grandma of the Lin family? !

Thinking of this, Tang Yuxiang narrowed her eyes slightly, and covered Guanshi Li with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "No need, Guanshi Li is too strong, I'm afraid I'll bandage him up, and I'll slow down later Come on, hit me again."

Li Guanshi felt a tightness in his chest when he heard the words, but after weighing it up, he finally didn't dare to refute.

"Have all the servants who sued Steward Li arrived? If so, let them come into the hall." Tang Yuxiang snorted coldly, and stopped looking at Steward Li who was crawling on the ground like a dead dog.

"Go back to Second Grandma, they're all here, I'll pass the message on now." A maid at the door responded, and quickly ran out to pass the message.

In less than a moment, there was a burst of footsteps from outside the hall, and then a dozen servants came together. After entering the hall, they knelt on the ground and called out Second Mistress Wan An.

Tang Yuxiang nodded, and went straight to the point, "You all want to sue Guanshi Li for what crimes, let me listen to them one by one."

Gouwa knelt at the front of a group of servants, and spoke first, and said what he said to Lin Jingzhi last time in front of Tang Yuxiang again. After he finished speaking, the servants behind also took turns telling what they had suffered The persecution has been spoken out.

After Tang Yuxiang finished, her face was already blue with anger, but no matter how angry she was, she still retained a semblance of reason. After all, she still hasn't figured out what old lady Lin's plan is, "Since this matter is still involved The accountant is in charge, then go to someone else and find him too, by the way, there is also the big housekeeper, wasn't he the one who interrogated Li Guanshi with the second master yesterday."

A servant responded when he heard the words, and ran out to find someone. Tang Yuxiang originally wanted to ask the two aunts behind him what kind of losses they had suffered, but at this moment, two more young ladies dressed as young women walked in from the entrance of the hall. woman.

These two were Aunt Rou and Aunt Shuang, and they rushed over after hearing the summons.

Aunt Shuang was dressed in a white skirt, her steps were light, she walked like a white lotus blooming in the troubled times, she was holy and out of dust, when she walked into the hall, she saw Tang Yuxiang sitting on the main seat, so she walked up to her, Then he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed three times in a row,

"My concubine pays my respects to Second Grandma, and wishes Second Grandma a long life."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Shuang turned her head to look at Zhidong. Zhidong felt that those cold eyes seemed to be able to speak, so she instinctively poured a cup of warm tea and handed it over.

Aunt Shuang reached out to take it, held it high above her head, and stopped in front of Tang Yuxiang.

Originally, Tang Yuxiang still regretted forcing Aunt Yu to pay her respects, thinking that these two aunts had come, so she had to be more magnanimous, but she didn't want this Aunt Shuang to kneel in front of her in a daze after entering the hall, helplessly , she had no choice but to take it, took a sip, and said:

"stand up."

Aunt Rou and Aunt Shuang had met Tang Yuxiang several times before, but at that time Lin Jingzhi was either ill or out of the courtyard, and it was inconvenient to serve tea. Aunt Rou saw that Aunt Shuang offered tea on her own initiative, so she followed closely Afterwards, he also kowtowed three times, said a word of blessing, and completed the etiquette.

The steward of the account had already guessed that steward Li was going to be in trouble. After all, he had offended the current head of the Lin family, so he found out all the evidence against steward Li last night and reported it to steward Li. The offended enemy is thrown into the abyss, so that he can never turn over, and he can please the second master, how do you think about this matter, how is it worthwhile.

Following the little maid came to the hall, the accountant took two steps hastily, kneeling on the ground respectfully, "Slave Zhu Hou, send my regards to Second Mistress, and to all the aunts."

After all, he knocked his head loudly.

Seeing that the manager of the accountant was so courteous, Tang Yuxiang let out a deep breath. She was really afraid that all the managers in the Lin family would be the same as Manager Li, and no one was obedient. , I came to you today just to ask Guanshi Li about his greed for ink."

Zhu Hou stood up, still leaning forward, not daring to stand upright, and replied: "Second Mistress, the servant of Guanshi Li's greed for ink took out the evidence yesterday in front of the second master. Guanshi Li cannot deny this matter. of."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hou bowed his body and lifted the receipt in his sleeve respectfully.

Originally, Lin Jingzhi wanted to take this receipt, but at that time, Mrs. Lin sent someone to deliver a message. Lin Jingzhi couldn't guess what Mrs. Lin was up to, so he returned the receipt to Zhu. Hou, I want him to keep it safe so that he can testify when someone interrogates him in the future.

Zhidong didn't need to order, ran forward, took the receipt, then ran back and handed it to Tang Yuxiang.

Tang Yuxiang read the receipt carefully, and saw that there were two names signed on it. The person who paid the money above was Zhu Hou, and the person who received the money below was Li Zhong. This evidence is very important to handle Li Guan's affairs, so after Tang Yuxiang read it, He folded it up carefully and placed it on the table.

"Li Zhong, don't you doubt the authenticity of this receipt?"

Li Guanshi was still lying on the ground like a dead dog, without answering, and turned his head to one side.

Zhu Hou was a little surprised to see that Li Guanshi still didn't repent even now, and then there was more pity in his eyes.

"Second Mistress, that receipt will not be fake, he won't be able to deny it." Following a male voice, the butler led a few servants into the hall, and immediately, he saw that Manager Li had no manners. Lying in the middle of the hall, with a serious face, he said angrily: "Li Zhong, I think you are really impatient. In front of the second mistress, you dare to be so presumptuous. Come and pull this unruly slave out. First hit the top [-] boards!"

After Li Guanshi heard the voice of the chief steward, he knew something was wrong. He originally wanted to get up, but he got up suddenly, and his head hurt, so he lay down again. His face turned pale with fright, "Boss, this servant has made a mistake, please spare this servant this time."

Seeing Guanshi Li's head covered in blood, Xu Fu couldn't bear it. After all, he was a subordinate who had been with him for more than ten years. If he pleads for mercy, can he agree on behalf of his master?Xu Fu didn't have the courage.

"Do it!" Xu Fu just waved his hand, and the two servants who followed behind him rushed forward and put Guanshi Li up.

Tang Yuxiang had met Xu Fu before, but before, Xu Fu always had a kind face, like a rabbit, not even the slightest bit fierce. Seeing Xu Fu's sudden change of face today shocked her, even though she also He wanted to beat Guanshi Li severely, but this villain is the confidant of Mrs. Lin, so how can he beat him as he pleases?

So he hurriedly said, "Wait, I still have something to ask him, so I'll write it down for now."

The two servants stopped their hands and looked at the big housekeeper. Xu Fu waved his hands at them, and then shouted at Li Guanshi: "Are you dumb? Don't worry about it. Thank you, Second Mistress, for your kindness!"

Although Li Guanshi was unwilling, he still got up and kowtowed to Tang Yuxiang a few times, "Thank you, Second Grandma, for your kindness."

Tang Yuxiang didn't care about the resentment that flashed in Li Guanshi's eyes, and waved his hands lightly. Only then did Xu Fu take a few steps forward and respectfully kowtow to Tang Yuxiang, "Old slave Xu Fu, please greet Second Mistress. "

First there was a steward, and later a big butler of the Lin family was added. In the hall, in front of many servants, the two respectfully kowtowed to the second mistress. This time, Tang Yuxiang's face was earned back.

"The housekeeper doesn't need to be so polite, get up quickly." Tang Yuxiang gave Xu Fu a hand, then asked Zhiqiu to move a chair for Xu Fu, and then said: "Boss, I know you are very busy, so I will make a long story short. There are witnesses and physical evidence for all the crimes of the steward, and there is no falsehood, so how do you think about it? The Lin family's family law in dealing with servants, you are the chief steward, you know best."

Tang Yuxiang finished speaking with a smile, and her heart was relieved. The purpose of her calling the big housekeeper this time was to ask the big housekeeper to tell the family law. In this way, even if Guanshi Li was punished, the big housekeeper stood by to support her. Mrs. Lin It's not good to punish yourself again.

After all, the chief steward has a much higher status than Steward Li.

Xu Fu seemed to have seen through Tang Yuxiang's little Jiujiu, smiled slightly, and asked, "Second Grandma, what mistakes did Guanshi Li make?"

"Deducting monthly regulations, unequal division of labor, bullying others, and, slaves bullying the master!"

"Second Mistress, there is one more thing that I haven't reported to you." After Tang Yuxiang finished speaking, she wanted to hear what kind of punishment the housekeeper would say, but she didn't want Gouwa, who was kneeling in the hall, to kowtow suddenly and intervene .

"Oh? Something else? Then why didn't you say it just now?" Tang Yuxiang asked suspiciously.

Gou Wa kowtowed his head again after hearing the words, this simple and honest young man actually shed a few tears, "Second Grandma, it's not that the sufferer is unwilling to report, but that the sufferer was injured last night, so he can't come today."

Tang Yuxiang realized that there was something hidden in it, and she didn't dare to underestimate it anymore, and asked in a serious voice: "What's going on, please tell me clearly."

"That's what happened, yesterday..." Every time Gouwa said something, Tang Yuxiang's face darkened. If she was just annoyed before, she was already full of anger now.

Greedy money for the guards to grab medicine, kidnapping other people's wives, and even giving them advice to sell their sons, are these things people do?

She had personally experienced a bloody storm that day. Without the desperate protection of the guards, she would have become a dead person now!

After hearing this, tell her not to be angry!

"Officer Li, let me ask you, last night, Zhang Er's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were beaten and seriously injured, is it your instigation?" After a long time, Tang Yuxiang took a deep breath, and her eyes were fixed on him. Manager Li's face.

Li Guanshi was not afraid of this delicate second grandma at first, but this time he raised his head and looked at Tang Yuxiang, but he was afraid for no reason, not because he was afraid of Tang Yuxiang's eyes, but because of the eyebrows that he had never noticed .

picture,

so similar,

Back then, Mrs. Lin had such a pair of handsome black eyebrows!

For no reason, he shivered all over.

Okay, I admit that I finally made an appearance on the new book list, but in order not to fall off, or to fall off as soon as possible, I still ask for collections and votes...
