The pretty mistress of Hou Ye's family

Chapter 23
Listening to the cynicism, Yao Yao calmly drank a cup of tea.

The moment she put down the teacup, Yao Yao raised her head and said to He Lanyu, "Then Polygonum multiflorum, how much did the second lady spend?"

"The money is not much, 3000 taels of gold, but the key is a matter of human affection. The medicinal materials of the Miracle Doctor Valley are hard to buy. Even if my sister wants to buy it, I probably don't have the face. Listening to my sister asking this, it shouldn't be, my Polygonum multiflorum is really good. Was it lost by my sister?"

Yao Yao laughed and said, "Second Miss, don't worry, I can give you an explanation if you lose the medicine. Meng Tao."

"exist."

"Make a list of last night's patrol and hand it in. Pack up all the people and send them to the gate of the Hou Mansion. Each person will have twenty boards."

He Lanyu frowned, "Why is my sister so vicious? Do you need to be so cruel to manage a house?"

Yao Yao took a sip of tea, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "How do you want to housekeeper, Miss He can't get in the way, you just need to rest assured and wait for me to deal with it. I'm going to the door, Miss Second can follow me to watch the show .”

watching a play?Definitely want to watch the show!

How many servants were beaten and released at the gate of the Hou Mansion?Making such a big fuss is embarrassing to Lord Hou, and Lord Hou will definitely scold her when he comes back.

Thinking of this, He Lanyu chased after him to see what he said.

When several people rushed out of the house, a large group of people crowded at the door, almost all the housekeepers of the Hou Mansion were watching and persuading, and there were a bunch of people crowded around to watch the fun, and the water was blocked in an instant.

Qin Yilan and Prince Yuwenhong, just when they were about to arrive at the Hou's mansion, they encountered such a grand scene. They were terrified. They quietly pushed aside the crowd, hid in the crowd and looked around secretly. They saw Yao Yao in front of a group of servants, waiting for them to be killed hit.

Yu Wenhong blinked in shock, "Third brother, what is your wife doing? Punish the servants in public, why don't you do things behind closed doors? Isn't she too crazy?"

Qin Yilan seemed to be able to imagine that when he came home later, the group of butlers would join hands and kneel down to give him a small report, with a lot of bad things in their mouths and so on.

Yu Wenhong pushed Qin Yilan, "Aren't you going to stop it?"

Qin Yilan shook her head, "Take it easy and see the situation."

Yu Wenhong couldn't help laughing and said, "Heh... Fortunately, this woman didn't choose me at the beginning, otherwise I would be the one who is humiliated now!"

Qin Yilan didn't make any rebuttal, just quietly...peeking.

Yao Yao patiently stood by the side and waited for them to finish.

The ten servants wailed non-stop, and several stewards beside them complained, "Madam, the treasure in the treasury is lost. If you don't report to the police to find out the real culprit, why are you angry with these servants?"

Yao Yao said with a cold smile, "What official do you want to report to? Isn't it just that you lost a medicinal herb? There are a lot of precious medicinal herbs in the Hou Mansion. I don't feel sad if one or two trees are missing, but if the medicinal materials are lost, it's not good for you to take care of them." Question. The warehouse is very important, the treasure was stolen, and there are so many people patrolling, but no one was found? You really work together!"

The housekeepers all turned green, "Madam, are you accusing us of guarding and stealing?"

"I don't know if it's true, but obviously, I called people to 'serve' you, and all of them were my natal family's thugs."

"..."

There were whispers all around instantly, "Then Mrs. Hou just entered the door, and she can't order the servants of the Hou Mansion!"

"It seems so. The servants of the Hou's Mansion are so proud and arrogant. I really feel sorry for the lady who just came in."

The housekeepers blushed when they heard these broken words.

"You have to understand one thing. It is true that I, Yao Yao, are not in charge of stealing the treasures of the Hou family, but the lost treasures can be made up with money. But... the servants of the Qin family who are not in charge, as the head of the family, Mother, it’s shameful. I, Yao Yao, are not the only ones. How can the facade of the Yao family be trampled by servants of the Qin family? Cough, cough..." Yao Yao covered her mouth and said, "Everyone knows that I am seriously ill. , Time is not long, but don't really treat me as a sick child. Don't worry, I can still deal with you in my lifetime. Keep fighting."

clap clap-

The surrounding crowd murmured again, "Miss Yao's body is weak, but her temper is really tough."

"Speaking with a bayonet? I really saw it today."

"She is the mistress, so she won't even be able to tame Lord Hou?"

After hearing this, Qin Yilan couldn't help snickering twice.

I don't know why, but a strong pride ignited in my heart.

Inadvertently, he secretly glanced at the elder brother of the prince beside him, and he clearly saw a trace of surprise and speechlessness on the elder brother's face, mixed with a little bit of annoyance and jealousy.

Behind the crowd, Zhang Huiyi and her father rushed out and shouted, "Stop beating! Stop beating!"

Manager Zhang appeared to speak, "Madam, please be merciful. What's the matter, can we go in and talk about it?"

Yao Yao turned her head and looked at him coldly and asked, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it here. It's fair to talk about it. If you talk about it, you can talk about it. If you close the door, the news will be difficult to control. If it gets out, some people will say that I don't know right from wrong." , What should I do if I am arrogant and unreasonable? Manager Zhang, you don’t have the ability to protect my reputation, do you?”

"But what about Lord Hou's reputation? Don't you need to think about it? With such a big disturbance, how do you let our Lord Hou step down?"

"Master Hou has a good reputation, and I reprimand you, it is also fair and aboveboard, and it is rare to touch Master Hou."

Zhang Huiyi suddenly stood up and said, "What's fair and aboveboard? Ma'am, you are beating and bullying people indiscriminately! You say that the guards are not good, it is obvious that you two are guarding yourself. I went to the warehouse to check. The door lock of the warehouse has not been pried at all." traces, and the key is in the hands of your master and servant, it must be..."

"Huiyi, don't talk nonsense!" Manager Zhang's face was livid with fright.

His daughter is in a daze, no one wronged her, but the madam?

Next to it, Meng Tao immediately knelt down, "Miss, I haven't left my key for a moment. I really didn't steal that treasure."

"Heh—" Yao Yao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't be nervous, Mengtao, you can't be blamed without evidence or evidence. And as I said, I won't pursue whether the treasure is stolen or not."

Zhang Huiyi scolded angrily, "What do you mean you don't pursue treasures? You don't pursue treasures stolen, but here you punish servants who are not good at guarding them? Is this justified?"

"It makes sense!" Yao Yao laughed, "Because I used the dowry to fill in this treasure, and I couldn't lack half a copper coin from Lord Hou. To put it more harshly, I spent my mother's money to buy your lessons, so even now At this moment, Master Hou can't stop me even if he comes back. Keep fighting—"

Zhang Huiyi yelled angrily, "Ma'am, don't be shy. There is no sign that the warehouse door lock has been pried. I bet Mengtao stole it. The good show you two masters and servants sang is lost." Medicinal materials also intentionally punish us servants, you are being unreasonable!"

Yao Yao snorted and said, "Miss Huiyi really likes to be entangled. If that's the case, then show me the lock of the warehouse and show everyone. Meng Tao, bring the lock of the warehouse."

"Yes."
