Chapter 503: Prevent someone from meddling indiscriminately!
Even though they knew Mrs. Six was not a good-tempered person, everyone was still shocked when they heard her ridiculing Wen Qiongfei like this on the spot.
Wen Qiongfei was even more embarrassed, and suddenly fell into renunciation and anger.
He has six brothers, the eldest and the second were both Jinshis. The fourth, who died young, also had the status of a scholar before his death. The fifth is a bookworm. Even the illegitimate son, the sixth, got a pass in the autumn examination.
He is the only one who has never even passed the childbirth examination.
What Wen Qiongfei hates most is that others say he is not smart and cannot compare with his brothers.
Whenever he hears someone say such a sentence, he will never take it lightly, ranging from being injured or injured, to being blamed for the destruction of his family and his family. Everyone in the house knows this taboo, so no one dares to say anything in front of him about whether he is smart or not.
words.
Now Qiao Yuyan actually said in public that he had no brains, which really put him in a minefield.
"Qiao! I can teach you a lesson just because you are disrespectful to my brother." Wen Qiongfei's face was extremely gloomy. He quickly walked up to Qiao Yuyan and raised his hand to hit her.
Who would have thought that as soon as he picked it up, he would immediately let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
Everyone heard a "click" sound and a stone rolled to the ground, while Wen Qiongfei covered the hand he had just raised and screamed.
Looking in the direction where the stone fell, I saw Qiao Yuyan's usually silent maid standing at the door with an expressionless face.
Qiao Yuyan smiled coldly and drew everyone's attention back, "I say this because I am really surprised that the third brother can say such a thing."
Even though there was no relationship between Zhou and Wen Qiongfei as husband and wife, Wen Qiongfei was so bullied by Qiao Yuyan at this time, and she was disgraced, so she ignored her husband who was still crying in pain and walked directly to Qiao Yuyan, "I
I want to listen to Mrs. Six's opinion. Our master is thinking about everyone, but he is just telling the truth. If we still care about the lives of those people, let's die together."
"Then let me ask you, Third Madam, how many people are there in the outer courtyard? How many people are there among us?"
Zhou thought Qiao Yuyan would refute her, but instead of saying so, the other party actually asked such a question in a calm tone.
She was stunned for a moment, and Qiao Yuyan answered to herself, "There are more than 200 servants outside. In our inner courtyard, including the maids and women, there are only a few dozen people. Do you think there are dozens of people?"
Among more than two hundred people, who has a better chance of winning?"
Seeing Mrs. Zhou frowning, Qiao Yuyan sarcastically said: "Sister-in-law, don't you think that these people can talk to you about the loyalty of master and servant when they are about to starve to death?"
Just now, the eldest lady did something for her son that she herself felt was despicable, so how can those subordinates outside who have children and children see that their sons and daughters are about to starve to death, how can they still grit their teeth and persist?
Be a loyal person?
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang still dare to rebel, how can you be so sure that our people will be willing to starve to death one by one just to see us eat enough?"
After hearing Qiao Yuyan's words, everyone's expressions changed. In just a few days, everyone has fallen from a life of fine clothing and fine food, and they are almost driven crazy. Just now, the third room has already done something to grab things.
How can people resist it?
The irony on Qiao Yuyan's face became even stronger, "What's more, I don't know when this day will end. The maids and women who are close to you, after seeing the fate of the people in the outer courtyard, still dare to trust you completely?
After a long time, they will be the next group of people who should starve to death. If we row them out again, how many of us will be left? Let’s look at the aunts in your house. Which group are they in? "
Everyone was completely speechless. Faced with the test of life and death, human nature cannot withstand it.
Wen Qiongfei also forgot about the pain in his hand. He had to admit that Qiao Yuyan was right. Those people outside really had to be taken care of!
But how could there be enough food for these two or three hundred people with just such a small amount of food?
Zhou didn't care about the grudge just now. She looked at Qiao Yuyan with trembling lips, "Then... what should we do? Doesn't that mean we all starve to death together?"
Old Mrs. Wen sighed softly, but didn't say anything after all.
The expression on Qiao Yuyan's face also froze, and she turned her eyes away from everyone, "Everyone was talking about the food in my house just now. To be honest, I can't take out any of it, and I can also guarantee that I will
I can live longer than you.
Because as long as I let it out casually and let you fight for it, you won't come to snatch it from me, because it's just a casual matter for my maid to take the life of any of you."
As she spoke, she glanced at Shi Ye, who understood and suddenly jumped directly to the top of the tallest tree in the yard.
There was a cry of surprise from outside, but the people inside only saw that for a moment, the girl had returned, and a large branch as thick as a bowl fell on the ground.
This is just a matter of a moment!
"You...what do you mean?" Mrs. Wen couldn't stand it anymore. Qiao Yuyan stood next to her, like a sword hanging over her head. At the moment, almost everyone was listening to her words and seemed to be accepting them.
Her call.
This made Mrs. Wen very frightened, "If you have any plans, just tell them directly. Why are you still hiding them here?"
"I just want everyone to think clearly and not to have any evil thoughts towards me."
After speaking, she turned to Mrs. Wen again, "Old lady, if it weren't for some man-made reasons, we wouldn't be in this situation now.
But what happened has already happened, and it is useless to say more, but I hope no one will interfere with what happens next."
Mrs. Wen's face paled, "Ms. Qiao, what do you want..."
Qiao Yuyan didn't even look at her. She still only faced Mrs. Wen, "Old lady, if you want me to accept this matter, that's easy. I request that from today on, everything in the inner and outer courtyards will be handled by me."
You are responsible for scheduling, and no one else is allowed to interrupt.
I alone have the final say on how to eat, how much to eat, and how to distribute it. If you can trust me to agree to this condition, then it will be a success. If not, I am really worried about another man-made disaster."
"Qiao, you..."
Mrs. Wen still couldn't finish her words, but this time it was the old lady who interrupted her, and the old lady didn't look at her, her eyes only fell on Qiao Yuyan, "If you don't say it, neither will I."
That’s the plan.”
Mrs. Wen's already pale face turned even whiter, with almost no trace of blood. She looked at Mrs. Wen in disbelief, her lips trembling and unable to speak a word.
Doesn’t this mean...
Do you want to completely take away the rights in her hands?
