Abandoned woman has love

Chapter 40 Li Wei 1
Mother Wu stood by Li Qingya's side, Qingya didn't speak, and she couldn't say anything.There was a stalemate in the chamber for a while.A few bold women in charge began to secretly look at Mama Wu's eyes, but they didn't see anything on Mama Wu's calm face after watching for a long time.However, Madam Wu didn't speak, and no one dared to speak.

After about a quarter of an hour, Qingya felt that the time was almost up.When the stalemate continues, she will not end well.She knew that it was not her who these women were really afraid of just now, but Madam Wu.She was just taking advantage of Mama Wu's influence to give her a powerful blow.

"Mother Wu, it's getting late, let's start!" Qingya said in a deep voice while sitting on the main seat.

After hearing Qingya's words, Mother Wu couldn't help but quietly sighed.Back when the eldest lady Yin was just taking care of the housekeepers, she left them in charge all morning!Up to now, some housekeepers still have complaints about Mrs. Yin.

Mother Wu began to arrange things in the house in an orderly manner.Qing Ya just sat there, listening quietly.She would interject a few words from time to time, but the questions were all trivial matters.Madam Wu's work efficiency is very fast. In less than half an hour, more than half of the women in charge in the meeting hall left.Qingya took a look, the last women in charge left behind by Mama Wu happened to be the ones who had just slandered her, Qingya understood what Mama Wu meant, Mama Wu wanted to leave these women to her alone .

Qing Ya looked at the women in charge and smiled noncommittally. She looked at the women in charge with a smile and asked, "Where are you all in charge?"

One of the daring women raised her head to look at Qingya and replied: "Returning to Madam, the old slave's surname is Yin, and he is the steward of the sewing room, Mrs. Yan is the steward of Da Furen's yard, and Mrs. Qi is the steward of procurement. Yes,,,,,,." Mrs. Yin pointed to the women who were left in the meeting room and replied with a straight face.

Qingya nodded, and she looked at the stern-faced Mrs. Yin and asked, "If I'm not wrong, you should be Mother Yin, mother's dowry! You are the steward of the sewing room, right?"

"Yes!" Mrs. Yin raised her head and gave Qing Ya a bad look, and replied bluntly.She is indignant towards Qingya.If it weren't for Qingya, the eldest lady would not have been put under house arrest by the old lady in the ancestral hall.As the eldest lady's confidant, she doesn't have the slightest affection for Qing Ya.She straightened her back and continued to confront Qing Ya.

Qingya looked at the wary old lady Yin with a broken smile, facing her unkindness and provocation.She didn't show any displeasure at all.On the contrary, she admired Mrs. Yin's loyalty and fearlessness.As long as anyone with a clear head knows that this time the eldest lady entered the ancestral hall, it will be very difficult to have a chance to stand up again in the future.Even so, Mrs. Yin still chooses to stand on Yin's side, which can be described as courageous!Loyalty is admirable!But no matter what they do, they have committed a serious crime of slandering their master. If Qingya doesn't punish them today, it will show that Qingya is weak and deceitful, and has no dignity at all.If they are severely punished, they will be said again, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds, and they are disrespectful to mother-in-law.Therefore, Qing Ya can neither handle these women lightly nor severely punish them.This is why Mama Wu left them until the end.

Qingya squinted her eyes and looked up and down the women. If she guessed correctly, not all of them were Yin's confidantes.According to Yin's scheming, he would rather have a direct conflict with her than go around these detours with her.It seems that behind these women are masters who are manipulating them.

"Who said that I'm just a chicken that can't lay eggs?" Qing Ya looked at the women and asked kindly.Although she is smiling, her smile makes people not feel her smile.

After looking at each other, Mrs. Yin and those women all lowered their heads at the same time and stood there without saying a word.

Qingya looked at them who were silent, and knew that it would not be easy for them to speak up.

"Mother Wu, what is the crime of slandering and despising the master in our house?" Qingya looked at her palm and asked slowly.

"Mrs. Hui, there are slaves who dare to slander and despise the master in the mansion. The light ones will be punished with the cane, and the severe ones will cut their tongues." Wu Mama said without any thought.

"Cutting off the tongue, I heard that after cutting off the tongue, it is easy to lose your life if you are not careful. Do you think it is Mama Wu?" Qingya said with a smile.She had to give herself an explanation for this matter today, otherwise she would not be able to stand in the mansion at all.Although the verbal dispute is not a big deal in Qingya's view, this is not a modern society with freedom of speech, but an ancient time where the master is the sky.Therefore, the disrespect of a servant is the greatest insult and shame to her.

"Yes, the key depends on the executioner's skills. If the technique is skilled, the person can survive. If the technique is not skilled, it may not be possible to get out of that room alive." Mama Wu looked at Qingya and answered kindly.

"Really? There's so much knowledge in it!" Qing Ya said with a faint smile.Mother Wu also nodded along with Qingya and agreed.The two of them asked and answered, as if they were talking about the nice weather today.It's just that what they said made the women standing in the conference hall break out in cold sweat.Several women began to wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads non-stop, and inadvertently, they all quietly stepped back a few steps.

Mrs. Yin pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, she turned her head and stared fiercely at those women who flinched back.

In this way, Qingya clearly discovered that the people in the conference room began to divide into two groups.One group is the hardline faction dominated by Mrs. Yin, and the other group is the neutral faction dominated by Mrs. Qi.Qingya felt that it was time to add fire.

"Mother Wu, what kind of punishment should I receive if I don't report what I know?"

"Not reporting what is known is the same crime as those who make mistakes."

"Do you want to cut your tongue too?" Qing Ya asked slowly.

"Yes, ma'am." Mother Wu replied more respectfully.

"Plop!" With a plop, Mrs. Li behind Mrs. Qi fell to her knees with a plop. She said tremblingly, "Mrs. Atonement! I didn't say anything! The words just now were  …."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Yin turned her head and looked at Mrs. Li angrily and shouted.Mrs. Qi looked at Mrs. Yin as if she was sifting through the chaff, and then tightly closed her mouth.

Qingya glanced at Mrs. Yin with cold eyes.She looked at Mama Wu with displeasure and said, "Mama Wu, is this the attitude of your disciplined slaves towards their masters? Hmm,,,,,,,!" Qing Ya asked in a long nasal voice.
