The silence of Zhang Da and others made Su Jian's anger grow stronger. She said with a cold face: "I remember you told me before that there was no management in the house before I decided to take charge. In other words, everyone is the same."
"yes."
"In my appointment as steward, I never said that my things can be handled at will!"
"yes"
Su simply looked at Zhang Da, the head nurse of the General's Mansion: "The General's Mansion is different from other places. The rights of being a slave are greater than those of me, the mistress of the house. The rights of those who are not slaves are even greater.
Me, the mistress of the house?”
Zhang Da's expression changed, and so did Xiong Xiong's expression. They all bowed to Su Jian, and they said almost at the same time: "A slave is always a slave, and the lady is the master."
Su Jian finally felt a little better after hearing their words. It seemed that someone still cared about her words. If Zhang Da and Xiong Xiazi were perfunctory and disapproving after she questioned them, then she should re-examine the general's mansion, and she should
Worried about her own personal safety.
"Mr. Song directly bypassed me and gave away my things. This idea is already bigger than me, the mistress of the house."
"lady……"
Su Jian looked at Zhang Da who was speaking with sharp eyes: "Do you want to speak for Song Siqi?"
"I don't dare." Zhang Da said quickly.
Upon seeing this, Blind Xiong hurriedly agreed: "Mr. Song's move is indeed inappropriate and should be punished."
Listening to their statements, the anger in Su Jian's heart dropped a little. She was very dissatisfied with Song Siqi's self-assertion and generosity to others. But after being dissatisfied, her rationality gradually returned. Maybe she could use this matter to accomplish something.
, identify something.
Zhang Da and Xiong Xiazi waited for Su Jian's rebuke and action, but Su Jian remained silent.
Zhang Da quietly glanced at Su Jian. She didn't look good, and her eyes were heavy, which made people palpitate. She had been silent, and he couldn't figure out what her next step was. But Song Siqi's punishment was foreseeable. However,
The same goes for Song Siqi. When Song Siqi sent fertilizer, he even advised him that it belonged to his wife after all, but what did Song Siqi say?
He said that he could understand the madam's thoughts. The madam just wanted a good reputation and gave the fertilizer to the farmers. For Su Jian, who already had a certain reputation within the mansion, the praise from outside the mansion was the icing on the cake, but now... I'm afraid it's just the icing on the cake.
Added white frost.
"Gather everyone in the house to come to Zhuangzi."
After a long silence, Zhang Da suddenly heard Su Jian's words and quickly said yes.
A quarter of an hour later.
In the open space of Zhuangzi, except for Xu Qiang and others, as well as the people in Zhan Lei's yard, everyone who could be called over was called over. Dozens of people stood in rows next to each other in a huge and spectacular manner.
Su Jian sat on a chair, looking straight ahead without saying anything. Song Siqi gave away the fruits of her labor, which was really disgusting, but why did Song Siqi do this? Try to figure out what she meant? She didn't want to let the crops of the General's Mansion go to waste.
Is it a good harvest or is it to make profits? There are many speculations, but the only thing that is certain is that Song Siqi did this, which proved that Song Siqi was not afraid of her in his heart.
Too.
She only had the title of being the mistress of the house, and the actual rights... She thought about it, and it seemed that she had nothing. Although the people in the mansion called themselves slaves, they did not sell themselves... In other words, she had nothing to do with them, so they
Don't be afraid of her. Now you are using the fruits of her labor without authorization. What will happen next?
Su Jian felt frightened for no reason.
If her career develops more and more, she would not dare to think that these individuals would still say one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes.
Su Jian's heart palpitated. She didn't want to use the contract of betrayal, but now...
Zhang Da caught a glimpse of Su Jian's face and his heart trembled. He had always had speculations about Su Jian's behavior. He had just talked about the fertilizer. Su Jian asked him to inform everyone in the house and asked everyone who could come to come.
The record list is prepared to use Song Siqi to establish his power in front of everyone.
But is it really just about establishing prestige?
Xiong Da and others looked at each other. At this time, everyone should patrol the land, and the guards should also patrol around. Everyone has their own work. Su Jian called for them to come, but when they came, Su Jian didn't say anything.
Looking at them like this... they had a premonition that something was going to happen.
"Madam, I wonder what the purpose of calling the slaves here is?" Liniang saw that Su Jian had not spoken for a long time, so she boldly asked.
Su Jian glanced at Liniang coldly. Liniang always knew how to behave. She might not appear when she should appear, but she would never appear when she shouldn't. In the same way, she said the same thing: "Let you come.
I just want to ask you a question. Only after I finish asking you will I know how I should deal with myself in the future."
Should he leave the General's Mansion directly? Or should he continue to stay?
Leaving may be difficult, but staying is not necessarily easy.
Liniang's heart trembled: "Madam, it's serious. Just ask, madam."
"The master of the general's mansion is naturally the general. But now that the general is away at war, who is the master in the mansion, and who should you take orders from?"
Liniang's expression changed. Su Jian's question directly revealed the fear deep in her heart. She knelt down towards Su Jian and said, "Madam is naturally the master of the General's Mansion."
Su Jian heard this and scanned the people standing in front one by one: "Where are you."
"Madam is naturally our master."
"We only follow our wives' lead!"
…
Su Jian's face turned pale, and she suddenly raised her hand to stop them from continuing: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you don't recognize me as your master in your heart, stand up consciously and I won't embarrass you.
On the other hand, if you don’t stand up, I will think that you have recognized me as your master. Since you have recognized it, you must listen to me how to deal with you!"
As soon as Su Jian finished speaking, everyone present had different expressions. Some were nervous, some were frightened, and some were disapproving.
"Since no one has come forward, I think you all recognize me as your master. Since I am your master, I have the right to reward and punish you." Su Jian paused, then turned her eyes and looked straight at Song Siqi.
: "Mr. Song is a scholar, better than many people in the house."
"Madam, you are so complimentary." Song Siqi didn't quite understand why Su Jian suddenly mentioned him, but now that he was mentioned, he would wait and see what happened.
"If the master's private property is secretly given away or sold at a low price by someone who treats it as a slave, what should be done with it?"
"The lightest ones can range from thirty to fifty sticks, and the more severe ones can be beaten to death with random sticks."
Su Jian looked at Song Siqi and did not miss the expression on Song Siqi's face. He was calm: "What about being generous to others regardless of the interests of the family, or even sacrificing the interests of the people in the family?"
"Be sold or beaten to death with sticks," Song Siqi said.
Su Jian looked at Song Siqi, her eyes flashed, and she said coldly: "Then Mr. Song, will you choose to be betrayed or beaten to death with a stick?"
