24. Helping my sister-in-law to rule the wicked 5
Also, since I am the head mother of this family, why should I not take care of her food and clothing expenses myself?
She is just holding the dough between her fingers. She has the final say on how to make it round and flat. The little bitch is showing her kindness.;;
Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang felt relieved and said coldly to Mother Gu.
"Why don't you hurry up and fetch that slave Huang Zhong and ask him to hand over his concubine."
Mother Gu wiped away the cold sweat and hurriedly went.
After a while, the second steward came, and before the fight started, the man confessed that he really had a concubine, and she was still working in the main courtyard.
Huang then brought the second manager and the woman into the yard and punished them in front of everyone.
If the servants were granted amnesty, they would no longer have to be silenced.
Seeing that the matter was figured out, Grandma Wang took her leave and An Xiaoqing politely asked to see her off. Grandma Wang said with a smile:
"Fourth girl is moving house today and has a lot to do. There is no need to send the servant off. Just remember what you promised me before."
It was to remind herself to go to the old lady to pay her respects. An Xiaoqing smiled and said:
"Please also ask Mammy to say hello to the old lady on behalf of Xiaoqing. Once Xiaoqing has settled down, she will go and say hello to her."
This incident greatly changed Pei Jinhui's attitude towards An Xiaoqing. She personally sent An Xiaoqing to the west wing. Seeing that the furnishings in An Xiaoqing's room were too shabby, she also brought a lot of things from her own room.
It can be regarded as repaying An Xiaoqing for resolving the crisis.
Before leaving, An Xiaoqing asked Pei Jinhui: "Are there any books in the eldest sister's room? Lend a few books to my sister to read. She will go to the palace tomorrow and she wants to enrich herself."
Pei Jinhui still didn't believe that she could read and write, "Fourth sister, tell the truth, are you really literate? Can you still read?"
"That's natural. When you and your second and third sisters went to school, I followed you secretly, hiding under the window and eavesdropping. Now, although I'm not as knowledgeable as my elder sister, I can still read a few articles."
"So it turns out that the fourth sister has good intentions. What happened today is all thanks to the fourth sister, otherwise..." Pei Jinhui thought about it and was still scared for a while.
"It's not a big deal. Sister, you were scared and panicked." An Xiaoqing comforted her with a smile, then frowned and said:
"But then again, if a wife is concerned, she will be confused, and sometimes she will be confused for a while.
Mother Gu is usually a shrewd person, but why is she making such a big fuss today, putting everyone in the courtyard in danger?
Something that originally had nothing to do with you, eldest sister, has been covered up by her, and those servants may have speculated wildly in private."
Hui Jinhui frowned and said, "You are right, my mother and I were frightened for a moment. We didn't expect how to deal with this kind of thing. Mother Gu is usually the safest..."
"Don't you think it's strange, eldest sister? The second steward is quite famous in the house. You tied him up from the house, stripped him clean and hung him up on the eaves of your house without disturbing the people in the courtyard. After doing this series of things,
I'm afraid it won't be possible without two or three strong men.
...The person behind this is not an ordinary person. If he doesn’t have some connections and power in the government, I’m afraid he won’t be able to do it.”
