Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 77
Du Heng said indifferently: "Today, the chief housekeeper was invited to rearrange the servants in my Xiyuxuan. I just counted them, and it turns out that there are as many as 44 servants in my Xiyuxuan, and how many errands they have. Overlap, so cleanup arrangements are needed."

Du Zhong hurriedly stood up and bowed his body and said: "What the eldest girl said is that the old slave didn't take good care of her, and the old slave is guilty."

Du Heng said with a slight smile: "The chief steward is serious. These people entered Xiyuxuan before you returned home. What did you do wrong? Qingfen, give this list to the chief steward." The 26-man list was handed out.Qingfen quickly took both hands and presented it to Du Zhong. Du Zhong took the list and looked at the eldest girl in puzzlement, and asked suspiciously: "Eldest lady, this is?"

Du Heng said indifferently: "These are people that Xi Yuxuan can't use. The housekeeper will take them away and arrange new assignments." Du Zhong nodded, and replied: "Yes, the old servant will obey the order of the eldest girl."

The sharp-eyed servant noticed that the list in the butler's hand was obviously very long, and he couldn't help but groaned inwardly. Here, Du Zhong's slightly hoarse old voice rang out in the hall, "Bitao, Chunhua, Mrs. Chen..." Those who were pointed out by Du Zhong were all servants who voluntarily downgraded their ranks and reduced their monthly payment to stay in Xiyuxuan.

Bi Tao's face turned blue, and the faces of the other people who were named were not much better than hers. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally fell to their knees with a plop, begging repeatedly Said: "The servants serve the girl wholeheartedly, please forgive me and don't drive us out."

Du Heng looked coldly at them without saying a word, and Du Zhong immediately shouted loudly after seeing them: "Bold, you can do whatever the girl asks you to do, how dare you talk too much."

When Bi Tao thought of the terrible fate she would face after being kicked out of Xiyuxuan, she didn't even care about the big housekeeper's scolding, she just kowtowed desperately and begged the girl to stay with her.Seeing this, the faces of the eighteen maidservants who did not want to be lowered turned green, and they thought to themselves, since the girl drove away those who were willing to stay, then those who were unwilling to stay would have to stay. It was impossible to do this anymore, thinking of staying, the monthly money would be lost, and the faces of those eighteen people were all dark, as if they were covered by dark clouds all over the sky.

Du Heng looked at the 26 people kneeling below, raised his voice slightly and said coldly: "You don't need to kowtow anymore, the reason why you are asked to leave Xiyuxuan, you should be clearer than anyone else, and this girl is also It's like a bright mirror. Does it have to tear your face and smash it to make you happy?"

Hearing the girl say such words, the 26 people were all stunned, and a layer of gray gradually appeared on the faces of everyone. Listening to the sound, they knew that the girl had already known their secret identity.Even if they insist on not leaving, it is impossible for them to get any useful news for their master.

The 26 people headed by Bitao stood up in a daze without even knocking their heads. Du Heng naturally didn't care, but Du Zhong didn't agree. How dare you not let the girl kowtow to say goodbye."

Everyone's hearts were full of anger, resentment, anxiety and fear, how could they care about this, after being shouted down by the big steward, they just knelt down again reluctantly.

Du Heng waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's a good job for you to lose your position. You must feel uncomfortable. It doesn't matter if you don't kowtow. Butler, they have left me Xi Yuxuan, and they still have to be arranged according to their original grades. embarrass them."

Du Zhong hurriedly stood up and said yes, and the 26 people were stunned. They never thought that they would speak well of themselves when the girl already knew that she was a secret agent, and ordered the housekeeper to settle her down.After a while, the 26 people sincerely kowtowed three times before standing up and stepping aside.

Du Heng ordered again: "Mammy, everyone who leaves will be rewarded with five hundred qian per person, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the love of a master and servant. You two should help Mammy carry the money basket." 26 I have thirteen slings of money, which is not light, so Du Heng couldn't bear to let Madam Liao suffer, so he sent Qingfen and Qinfang to help.

Nanny Liao had survived the hard times, and when she heard the girl's generous rewards, and the ones she rewarded were those carefully crafted with a single heart, she felt a little reluctant in her heart, so she responded sullenly, with a refreshing smile. Fang walked down slowly.

Du Heng can be regarded as the person who knows Nanny Liao best. Seeing Nanny Liao's obvious passivity, she can't help shaking her head slightly, with a slight smile on her lips. Now that life is getting better, Nanny Liao has also gained some childish temper , it is much more interesting than before.

Du Zhong saw a slight smile on the corner of the girl's lips, her expression was very similar to that of his wife back then, his mood was agitated, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of old tears, what a wonderful lady, no matter how you say it, it will be gone, if the lady is still there, How can the girl be so cold and cold like now, I think the girl loved to laugh when she was young, when she smiled, there were two lovely dimples, really like a little fairy in the sky.

"The butler?" Du Heng called in surprise when he saw Du Zhong burst into tears.

Du Zhong hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face, and said with a choked voice, "Young lady really looks like Madam when she smiles."

Thinking of her innocent mother who died tragically from poisoning, the faint smile on Du Heng's face immediately disappeared. She bit her lips tightly, and after a while she said in a harsh voice, "Mother used to really love to laugh."

Du Zhong felt sad again. In fact, he was also full of suspicions about his wife's sudden death, but before he could take any action, he had already been kicked out of General Jianwei's mansion. Even if he wanted to investigate something, he had nowhere to start. Going back to the General's Mansion this time, things are already different, even if you want to investigate, there is no trace to be found.

Taking a deep breath, Du Heng forced himself to stabilize his emotions, and said to Bitao and the others: "You go and pack your luggage first, and come back here to collect the money."

Bi Tao and the others bowed their knees and saluted in a low voice, and they all retreated with dejected expressions. Although the girl had something to say, but Xi Yuxuan, their real master would not easily spare them who did not complete the task.

After Bitao and the others left, Du Heng asked Hong Ling and the other 18 people, "Would you like to stay and serve?"

Those 18 people looked at me and I looked at yours. After a while, they pushed Hongling out to speak, "If you want to return to the girl, the servants are willing to serve the girl, but if they want to be demoted to a lower level, the servants... Reluctantly."
