"The state has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. I gave you a chance, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it. You took me away, broke your legs, and expelled you from the Marquis Mansion. You will never be hired again."
Xiaojie instantly collapsed on the ground, "My cousin, please forgive me, my cousin, please forgive me..."
But unfortunately, Yan Mingzhu is not the kind of soft-hearted person. She is very principled. This is the way she has developed in her previous life when she led troops and fought in battles.
If you have made a mistake and given a chance to repent, if the other person still refuses to change, even if he begs for mercy later, he will never give it lightly.
The servants outside saw Xiaojie being dragged down, making begging sounds like a slaughtering pig along the way. They were so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Yan Mingzhu walked out of the house like a leisurely stroll and looked around at everyone from top to bottom.
"When I dismissed the servants, I made it clear that now is the time when the Yuan family is in crisis. Everyone is born and raised by their mothers and fathers. There is no reason to force you to die with the Yuan family. I want to
If you leave, you can take your deed and the money to break up the partnership and leave.
But no matter whether the Yuan family can get out of the predicament from now on, the servants who leave with their deeds will never be hired again. But for those who stay, I believe you are loyal to the Yuan family. As long as the Yuan family crosses this hurdle, it will be inevitable.
I won’t treat you badly.”
Yan Mingzhu paused and took in all the expressions of the servants at the foot of the steps.
"But during this process, if there is a restless person who betrays his trust and forgets his master, that will be the fate of Xiaojie who was just dragged down and had his leg broken. No matter who it is or for what excuse, as long as he offends this
The bottom line is never to be lenient,
Of course, I know that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Although the Yuan family is in a difficult situation now, if you have any difficulties, you can go to Butler Li. Those who can help will definitely try their best to help, but if there are still people who dare to play tricks
Little Clever, the next one is not as simple as breaking your legs and being kicked out of the house, do you understand?"
The servants knelt down one after another, not daring to say a word of criticism: "Yes, cousin!"
After saying what needed to be said, Yan Mingzhu waved her hand and motioned for them to go back and rest.
Turning around, he saw the senator's wife standing not far away. After meeting her eyes, the senator's wife showed a kind smile.
"Grandma, why are you up? Is it because my granddaughter's voice was too loud and it disturbed you?"
The senator's wife held her hand affectionately, "I'm old. I used to go to bed early in the morning, but now in the middle of the night, I can't sleep much. I just saw our Zhuzhu scolding the servants from a distance, and I was really surprised.
I think of Mr. Hou,
When the Marquis was alive, he and Zhuzhu had the same temperament. He followed the old Marquis to lead troops in southern Xinjiang at the age of ten and developed an extremely harsh temperament, even when it came to treating people in his family.
, and they are all selfless."
As she spoke, the senator's wife seemed to remember the happy past and laughed, "Sometimes I would tell him not to be like a father-in-law and bring the rules in the military camp to home.
But he always said,
There is no rule without rules. If the family is not strict, the children and grandchildren will inevitably learn bad things. Only by setting an example and being strict with oneself can the Yuan family be passed down from generation to generation. Among so many children, Zhuzhu is the one who is most similar to Mr. Hou.
Already."
Yan Mingzhu pretended to be flattered, "Grandma put me and my grandfather together. This is the highest praise ever, right? Tomorrow, if I want to tell my aunts, I will say that my grandma said that I am the most similar to my grandfather.
, making them all envious, jealous and hateful of me."
The senator's wife was amused, and then returned to the topic: "By the way, Zhuzhu, when did you know that there was someone who was bribed in the house?"
"Actually, before today, I didn't know that when the servants were dismissed, I believed that the remaining servants were loyal to the Yuan family. But now that the Yuan family is in turmoil, I can't take any risks.
So I asked Butler Li to thoroughly investigate the family background of all the remaining servants, and then screen them to see if there are any abnormalities. Among them, Xiaojie has a brother who is addicted to gambling.
A pile of debt,
Logically speaking, he is so short of money. Even if he continues to be loyal to the Yuan family, the monthly salary he receives is simply not enough to pay off his brother's debt. It is far less attractive than the breakup payment, so I became suspicious.
, let Butler Li keep an eye on it more."
Coincidentally, in conjunction with today's great show of inviting you to the urn, we captured both the thieves who were ambushing the house and the spies and imperial guards who were guarding outside the house.
"I see, but even though I caught a thief today, I still have to punish you."
When Yan Mingzhu heard this, she immediately stood up straight, touched the tip of her nose, and made an expression that showed she would correct her mistake after she realized it was wrong, which made the senator's wife reluctant to continue talking.
"Earlier, you swore to me that there was no danger in this matter, and you only asked me to cooperate with you in a play. But today, the assassin was caught, the assassin was silenced, and the thief was uncovered. If the assassin who came
The martial arts is higher,
How can you, a girl, protect yourself? If something happens to you, how do you ask me, the old woman... how do you tell me to explain to your miserable mother?"
As she said this, the elder lady's voice became a little softer. Yan Mingzhu hurried forward, gently caressed the old lady's back, and kept her attitude to a minimum.
"Grandma, my granddaughter is a little radical. What you are trying to teach me is that your granddaughter will be punished and go to the ancestral hall to kneel down. Don't be angry, okay?"
This girl is too smart and too sensible, which makes me feel particularly distressed.
The senator's wife glared at her strangely, "I haven't even said how to punish you yet, why don't you think about it yourself first?"
Yan Mingzhu immediately changed her tune: "My granddaughter is worried. Grandma, tell me, no matter how you want to punish me, I will hit you, scold you, and never even utter a word!"
"I will punish you by going back to your room, turning off the lights, and not being allowed to get up until three o'clock in the morning."
This isn't a punishment at all, it's obviously too late to feel distressed.
Yan Mingzhu felt warm in her heart, and coquettishly hugged the elder's wife's arm and rubbed her affectionately in her arms.
"My granddaughter has received her punishment and will go back to rest. But first, I will send you grandma back to your house, okay?"
The senator's wife gently poked her between the eyebrows, "It's only a few steps away. Old lady, I am in my own house, how can I get lost? Go back to the house quickly. If you are half a step late, you will be punished even more severely tomorrow."
.”
"Take your orders, granddaughter resigns!"
Yan Mingzhu winked her right eye mischievously, picked up the hem of her skirt and ran away quickly.
The senator's wife looked at her child-like cheerful back, smiled fondly and shook her head.
"I never expected that my cousin would be so far-sighted. She is really different from before. If my cousin were a man, her future would be limitless!"
Mother Chang on the side couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Yuan said firmly: "Even if Zhuzhu is a woman, her achievements in the future will be no worse than any man's, and she will even leave those men far behind.
