Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 47: A Servant Must Be a Servant
The servants in Shen Xuanlin's yard were escorted over without interrogation at all, and Shen Dong was already furious.The faces of the servants were drunk, exuding the smell of alcohol, they clearly looked like they hadn't sobered up yet.

Xiao sneered: "I have never seen such a bold slave, who actually lives a more nourishing life than the master."

Shen Dong slapped the table violently, the teacups on the table were shaken, and there was a loud noise: "Okay, you brave slaves, I really dare you! Come here..." He wanted to drag all these people away. Go out and kill.

"Father," Shen Ninghua interrupted Shen Dong's words, "Grandmother is in poor health, it's better not to see her yard dirty with blood, so as not to be bumped into."

Shen Dong frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Xiao Shi: "Mother, how do you think these people should be dealt with?"

Xiao's eyes swept over Shen Ninghua: "It turns out that you handed over the backyard to me, but you have also seen that my body is getting worse day by day, so it's better not to take power. I want to hand over the power of the housekeeper to you. For Mrs. Su, she is quick-witted and won't be tempted. As for these servants, let Ninghua handle it. Ninghua is the most kind-hearted. Seeing her younger brother being treated harshly this time, she must have a lot of anger in her heart. "

When Shen Dong handed over the power of the housekeeper to Xiao Shi, he just didn't want people from the second and third rooms to interfere, but now that Xiao Shi opened his mouth to bring up Su Shi, he couldn't refute anything publicly, so he could only grit his teeth and agree. It came down: "Everything is arranged by the mother."

Xiao nodded in satisfaction: "Ninghua, take these people down and deal with them."

There was a trace of coldness in Shen Ninghua's heart, and she nodded respectfully: "Father, the actions of these servants are arrogant, and there may be someone who will go too far than them in the future. Since we want to deal with them, why don't we make an example of them and kill all the servants?" Are they all called to observe the sentence?"

"Well, yes, you can look at the arrangement." Shen Dong felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded indifferently.

"Then please father to order the servants in your yard to come over later."

Shen Dong hesitated for a while, thinking that Shen Ninghua wanted him to show his support, so he didn't object: "Okay, don't make too much noise."

"Yes, Ninghua is leaving." Shen Ninghua got up, turned around and told Qingque, "call all the servants of the Shen family to the edge of the garden pond, remember, everyone, even if they broke their legs, if they have a breath Now, carry it over for me too."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua raised the corners of her lips, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Xiao Shi whose expression froze suddenly, and smiled coldly in her heart. Xiao Shi must have guessed that all of this was planned by her behind her back, so she handed over those servants to She disposes.It was just to make things difficult for her.

If she punishes her too severely, then the kind image she deliberately created will disappear. A person who is ruthless and good at disguising will naturally not be filial, and the previous efforts will be in vain.If she treated her lightly, let alone whether Shen Xuanlin would resent her, those servants might think that she was weak and deceitful, and she would not even think about having a say in the Shen family in the future.

Xiao's calculations are very good, but she made a mistake in one point, and now she has no ability to make arrangements.If she was doing well, after she finished dealing with those servants, she might really succeed if she took the initiative to guide the rumors.But now she can't take care of herself, how many of those people really support her?

When Shen Ninghua's order was spread, all the upper and lower members of the Shen residence became active, and when they learned that the news came from Shen Xuanlin's Yecui residence, they immediately became angry and angry.They knew how those slaves behaved, but they didn't expect to be caught by the master, and they were afraid that they would hurt themselves at this time.However, they didn't dare to delay too long, and ran to the garden pond one after another.

Cushions were placed in the pavilion by the pond, and Shen Ninghua was sitting on it drinking tea. Bai Ping and the other four stood behind Shen Ninghua, their eyes full of seriousness.After everyone arrived, they didn't dare to make the slightest noise, and they all stood there concentrating and holding their breath.

Shen Ninghua drank half a cup of tea before turning her head to look at the people standing neatly under the steps.

"I've met the eldest lady." Everyone knelt down and saluted.

Shen Ninghua didn't cry out, looked around and turned to ask Bai Lu: "Is everyone here?"

"Miss Hui, the servants around Da Furen and Second Miss have not come yet."

"The people around mother didn't come?" Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Then just wait."

Shen Ninghua picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea, but the people below were dissatisfied.They are all on their knees!Many of these people are decent slaves beside their masters. It has been a long time since they knelt down and waited. Now that Shen Ninghua has wiped their face, how can they accept it?

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Ninghua frowned and put down the teacup in her hand: "Hongling, please go and ask, everyone in father's yard has arrived, why are mother and second sister so procrastinating?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua got up and walked to the steps, looked at many people on the ground whose faces turned pale, and said: "I know that many of you are very respectable, even more respected than my master. "

Someone couldn't help being angry: "A master is a master, we as slaves dare not compare ourselves with the eldest lady."

Shen Ninghua turned her head: "You are the maid in the third sister's yard, you look familiar." It was the big maid beside Shen Yulan who spoke.

The maid raised her face, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Shen Ninghua walked up to her and looked down at her: "Since you know you can't compare with me, you shouldn't refute it."

"Miss doesn't even let the servants say a word, so what is there for us servants to survive?"

Shen Ninghua sneered, pulled the hairpin from the top and threw it into the pond: "Qingque, let her go down and help me find the hairpin. If you can't find the hairpin, you really have no way out."

"Yes, Miss." Qing Que immediately stepped forward, picked up the maid with a blank expression, and threw it towards the pond.

The servant girl's eyes widened in horror, she didn't expect Shen Ninghua to do this: "Ah, help, woo..."

Everyone was stunned by Shen Ninghua's actions. They didn't expect Shen Ninghua to have such courage. The original anger and contempt in their hearts slowly dissipated, and they knelt on the ground tremblingly.These slaves are like this, when the master is weak, they will be arrogant, if the master is tough, they will immediately start to worry about their lives.

Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at the maid who was struggling in the water, her eyes were full of indifference: "Since the slaves in the courtyard of the mother and the second sister are not coming, then we don't have to wait anymore, Qingque, and bring those people in the courtyard of Xuanlin together. Throw it down and wake up the bar."

"Yes, Miss." Qing Que moved so fast that the slaves who had drunk had no time to resist before being kicked into the lake.

Shen Xuanlin stood close to Shen Ninghua, his face tensed.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head and asked him: "Xuanlin, are you afraid?"

Shen Xuanlin shook his head: "Not afraid."

Shen Ninghua smiled: "That's the way to look. You are the master, and those people are slaves. If you are comfortable serving you, don't be stingy to give them some face. Those who do not serve well and show the face of the master will be beaten to death To vent your anger, you have to sign the deed of selling yourself, with this piece of paper, you won’t be afraid of any troubles.”

"Sister, I remember." Shen Xuanlin's eyes were bright, and his dark eyes stared coldly at the servant in the lake, with a gleam of eagerness to try.

Shen Ninghua nodded: "Okay, since you understand, then I will keep these slaves alive, and how to deal with them is up to you."

"Okay, thank you ma'am."

"You don't need to thank my family." Shen Ninghua smiled at him, then turned her head to look at the servants kneeling on the ground again, but her face sank, "Xuanlin wants to deal with those slaves personally, you send some people down to arrest them Pick it up."

The servants kneeling in the middle looked at each other, got up regardless of the pain in their knees, and jumped into the pond to catch people.

Those people drank a lot of alcohol, but when they woke up in the water, they were completely weak. Finally, someone came to rescue them, and they immediately entangled them tightly to prevent them from moving.It took almost a quarter of an hour to drag everyone ashore.

The servants who went into the water to fish for people were lying on the ground gasping for breath, and it took a while for them to recover.

Shen Ninghua scanned the crowd with different expressions, and said, "Qing Que, go get the silver. A few people who jumped into the water to save people just now will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. After taking the silver, go back and rest."

100 two?

"The servant thanked the eldest lady."

Many people regretted it too much, why didn't they go into the water to save people obediently just now?If they also jumped into the water, they can take the money to rest now. 100 taels of silver, but they have to save it for several years.

The servant who went into the water to save people left happily, and he was no longer dissatisfied with Shen Ninghua in his heart. Instead, he mocked the servants around Shen Xuanlin in his heart. A servant should look like a servant. Why did he lose his status and make the eldest lady unhappy? So-called!
Hong Ling came over: "Miss, the servants from Chunhuayuan and Qinxueju are here."

Shen Ninghua looked at Nanny Qin who was the leader: "Nurse Qin came a bit late, and everyone in father's yard has been waiting for a long time."

The first time she came here and saw the scene here, Nanny Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she found that among the people kneeling on the ground were the servants from Shen Dong's yard, her bad premonition became even more serious. Hearing what Shen Ninghua said, she quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Miss, the servants and others are late, please punish me."

Shen Ninghua didn't care about her blunt attitude, and when she heard her admitting her mistake, she didn't make things difficult: "Get up, it's good to be here. It just so happens that the matter has been dealt with, and I hope everyone will learn from it. I don't want to deal with slaves in front of so many people. It's all gone."

Nanny Qin raised her head abruptly: "Miss, servants and others feel uneasy, please..."

Bai Ping interrupted her: "Nurse Qin, you have already admitted your mistake just now, and the lady didn't pursue anything. You can just thank the master, needless to say anything else. You have worked hard to serve the lady, so naturally you can't compare with others."

Qin Nanny choked in her heart, if Shen Ninghua made things difficult for them like just now, that would be easy to talk about, but after Shen Ninghua punished everyone and just bypassed herself, then people like herself might have enough hatred.

Shen Ninghua didn't even turn her head, and took Qingque and others back to Yingyue Residence.

As soon as she changed her clothes, Hong Ling rushed in: "Miss, just now there was news from the young master Ye Cuiju that those slaves were beaten to death with random sticks."

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes: "An order from Xuanlin?"

"Yes."

"Well, I see." Shen Xuanlin was really a wolf cub.
