Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 76
Standing at the head of the two rows of servants are two pretty maidservants, one of them is wearing a long green gauze skirt with an emerald green bijia, and the other is wearing a three-rolled and three-embellished paddy field bijia and a red cotton damask skirt. Wearing a pine flower sweater, when the two heard that the girl's voice meant something wrong, they immediately stepped out and knelt up and said: "Young lady is the eldest daughter of our general's mansion, so she is naturally extremely honorable, and besides, she is a delicate guest in the mansion. It is also reasonable to use a few more people."

Du Heng saw that the two maids jumped out to talk to themselves without the master's consent, the expression on his face became lighter, and the expression in his eyes became colder. When Liaomao, who was standing beside the girl, saw the two maids jumping out to speak, her expression turned pale. Yi Shen shouted: "Bold, is the girl asking you? Who allowed you to speak? Do you really think you are the deputy lady?"

Those two servant girls were scolded mercilessly by Madam Liao, their faces were already flushed, and even the rims of their eyes were so red that they were almost bloodshot, and the teardrops were rolling in their eye rims. The two of them were promoted last year Waiting for the maids, they can be regarded as vice-misses in the mansion, and because they are serving the eldest girl who has just been favored in Xiyuxuan, although they have never been allowed to serve the girl, people outside of Xiyuxuan don't know the truth , so they came out of Xiyuxuan, and none of the servants in the mansion gave them a little face. Even in Xiyuxuan, although the girl only asked Liao Momo and Yangmei to serve them, she didn't care about them, so the two I lived a happy life in Xiyuxuan, and I never suffered any grievances.

Du Heng knew that the one wearing the emerald green bijia was named Bitao, one of the eyeliners sent by his stepmother Liu to Xiyuxuan, and the one wearing the paddy field bijia was named Hong Ling, who had gone through the way of the old lady's capable mother. Presumably, Xi Yuxuan also expressed his loyalty in front of the old lady.Bi Tao must not keep it. As for the Hongling, I have to take another look.

Deliberately groaning, Du Heng intentionally left these two first-class maids to see what would happen to them, Bi Tao was smarter than Hong Ling, although her face was flushed, she quickly fell to her knees with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly: : "I know I'm wrong, please punish me." But Hong Ling was full of resentment, although she didn't dare to say it, but everything was clearly written on her face.Seeing Bi Tao kneeling on the ground, Hong Ling had no choice but to kneel down, kowtowed and said, "Your servant is guilty, please punish me."

Du Heng said indifferently: "Since you ask for punishment, I will give you two choices, first, stay in Xiyuxuan and demote the third-class maid, and second, leave Xiyuxuan without downgrading."

It was Bi Tao who took the lead to answer again, she kowtowed without even thinking about it and said, "Reply to the girl, the servant knows his mistake, and is willing to be demoted to the third-class maidservant."

Hong Ling was different from Bi Tao, she bit her lip and thought for a while before she said in a low voice, "Back to the girl, slave... slaves are not blessed and unworthy to serve girls, please drive them out of Xiyuxuan." There is a full month's money of a dime a month, and from time to time you can get extra rewards from the master. If you are demoted to a third-class maid, you only have four hundred coins a month, and there is no oil or water at all. Normal servants would not be willing to demean themselves and would stay and serve.

So when Bi Tao said that she was willing to be reduced to the third-class maidservant and stay in Xiyuxuan, all the servants looked at her changed, and everyone couldn't help guessing that Miss Bi Tao's brain would not be squeezed by the door.Bi Tao also secretly groaned in her heart, just now she was afraid that she would be kicked out of Xi Yuxuan and spoil his wife's affairs, so she asked to stay regardless, but forgot about human nature. Everything is exposed.

Du Heng just said lightly: "Both of you, stand aside." She ignored the two of Bi Tao and Hong Ling, and she looked at the 42 maids standing below and said in a cold voice: "Xi Yu Xuan is not big, there is no need to use it." Of these many servants, more than half of you will leave Xiyuxuan. Those who leave will not change their ranks, and those who stay will be demoted to use. Discuss among yourself, those who are willing to leave can register with Yangmei, and those who are willing to stay Report to Nanny Liao."

Hearing what the girl said, all the servants below were dumbfounded. What kind of a thing is this? If you want to stay, you have to be downgraded. How difficult it is for them to go up to the next level. Dropped?Those maids who don't have a backstage still point to the monthly money to help the family, and when they go on errands, they are not errands, why do they have to stay in this Xiyuxuan, and they don't invite girls to see them, and they lose hundreds of money for nothing .

It didn't take long, the servants who voluntarily downgraded to stay and those who left voluntarily were divided into two groups again, and went to sign up with Yang Mei and Madam Liao respectively.Nanny Liao and Yang Mei quickly registered their names, 26 people were willing to stay, and only [-] people were willing to leave.Du Heng looked at the two teams with obvious differences in length, and secretly sneered in his heart. It seems that her grandmother and "good" stepmother really put a lot of effort into it!

Nanny Liao sent the two rosters to the girl, her eyes were full of admiration, she really didn't expect her girl to be so easy-to-use when she usually doesn't show off the mountains and don't care about things, just try such an extremely simple method The details of Xi Yuxuan's servants were revealed, which was completely consistent with the results of her secret investigations these days.Eighteen of those who were willing to stay were inextricably linked to the step-wife, and eight were related to the old lady. Those who were willing to leave, on the contrary, had no backstage background and were purely for the sake of A person who earns monthly money to support his family.

Nanny Liao went up to the girl and whispered something in the girl's ear, Du Heng nodded lightly, and said loudly: "Yang Mei, quickly invite the head manager to Xiyuxuan." Yang Mei responded and ran out quickly, But during tea time, the head manager, Du Zhong, was invited to Xiyuxuan.

Du Zhong is already over sixty years old, because he has suffered a lot in the past few years, his hair and beard are all white, and his body is thin and tight, but he is in good spirits, his eyes are very bright, and he is not like an old man at all. His eyes are dim and he looks old.Du Zhong quickly walked into the hall, bowed his head in front of the eldest girl, and said: "The old slave Du Zhong kowtowed to the eldest girl."

Du Heng respected that Du Zhong was the old housekeeper who had been with his mother, so he didn't accept his full salute, but sat on his side and said lightly: "The big housekeeper is free, Yang Mei, quickly help the big housekeeper up, Qingfen Set up a seat, Qinfang to watch tea." Qing Fen who had been standing behind the girl responded crisply, and quickly moved a red sandalwood gourd-shaped drum stool to Du Zhong's side, Du Zhong thanked the seat again, just now He signed and sat down.Qinfang also delivered a cup of hot tea to Du Zhong's hand.

"I don't know what orders the eldest girl passed on to the old slave?" Du Zhong smiled, his eyes slightly lowered, only looking at the position under the eldest girl's feet, not looking directly at his master, and asked obediently.
