Aunt Wan stood aside, her eyes darting back and forth between Tang Yuxiang and Aunt Yu. She was extremely nervous. Although Tang Yuxiang looked calm and Aunt Yu did not make a sound, the two people's mutually hostile momentum made the atmosphere in the entire hall tense.
They all became dull, and she wanted to go up and try to persuade her, but Tang Yuxiang was the official wife, and it was only natural for her to ask her concubine to serve her tea, while Aunt Yu was withdrawn and didn't like to talk. On the way here, she didn't even like strangers.
It's useless to ignore him or persuade him.
The hall was eerily quiet at this time. The servants held their breaths one by one, not daring to take a breath. After Tang Yuxiang and Aunt Yu looked at each other for a long time, they suddenly remembered something and ordered Zhichun: "Go and get Rou."
Auntie and Auntie Shuang are also here, I want to ask them if they have ever been made trouble by this evil slave."
Although Zhichun was frightened just now, she was timid and did not dare to move forward. Now her legs and feet were sharp, so she responded and ran out of the hall like flying.
As Tang Yuxiang spoke, the dull atmosphere in the hall eased. The servants all let out a long breath and felt much better.
A trace of sadness flashed across Aunt Yu's cold eyes, and then she bit her lip, slowly walked forward, knelt down, and then respectfully kowtowed to Tang Yuxiang three times.
Aunt Wan on the side saw that Aunt Yu finally gave in, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. To be honest, she was really afraid that the two of them would have a fight. A wife and a concubine with great strength. If a fight started, the wife would definitely take over.
It's not cheap, but if the concubine beats the wife, the matter won't be over, and neither of them will be able to reconcile!
Gently stroking her heart with a jade hand, she picked up the warm tea she had just poured and handed it to Aunt Jade.
After Aunt Yu kowtowed three times, her eyes were dim and she no longer had any aura on her body. She took the teacup numbly, raised it above her head, and said: "My concubine, please give my regards to Second Grandma, and wish Second Grandma a long life."
.”
Tang Yuxiang didn't expect that Aunt Yu would give in so quickly. After taking the tea cup, she saw that Aunt Yu's eyes were distracted, her forehead was bleeding, and she no longer had any pride. She felt a sudden pain in her heart, and she immediately regretted it.
When she came out, this Aunt Jade was just like her, a proud and arrogant person.
For an arrogant person, being humiliated in public would be even more uncomfortable than killing her!
"Get up." The matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting it. Tang Yuxiang knows that the relationship between the two has been forged.
Aunt Wan had a gentle temperament and was a few years older. She unconsciously regarded Aunt Yu as her younger sister. After hearing what Tang Yuxiang said, she quickly stepped forward to help Aunt Yu up, and then stood up behind Tang Yuxiang together.
Although Zhidong and Zhiqiu are Tang Yuxiang's personal maids, they can only step back and give up their positions now.
"Second Grandma, would you like to bandage Steward Li's wound?" At this moment, a woman wearing coarse clothes with black ash on her face suddenly took a step forward and asked.
This rough lady also helped a lot just now.
After hearing the reminder from the rough lady, Tang Yuxiang remembered that Manager Li had just been hit hard and his face was covered with blood. At that time, the chair fell apart in an instant. It was obvious that Aunt Yu was decisive in killing and her strength was surprisingly strong.
, if it were her, let alone hitting people, even if she wanted to lift the chair above her head with two hands, it would be difficult to do it.
Thinking that she was actually going head-to-head with such a powerful figure, and that Aunt Yu was standing behind her, she felt a chill on her back and couldn't help but shiver.
Manager Li was so dizzy from being hit just now that he almost thought he was going to die. Only then did he realize that he was afraid. He knew Aunt Yu and had suffered from this woman in the past. If he had known that this woman would come, he would not have
Dare to yell, lying on the ground, he secretly took a look at Aunt Yu, and saw that although she looked like an iceberg as usual, she seemed to be missing something.
Tang Yuxiang had just seen with her own eyes that Manager Li was seriously injured and his head was bleeding. She originally wanted to have someone bandage it, but when she looked at Manager Li, Manager Li just retracted his gaze from sizing up Aunt Yu.
looked at her.
His eyes, which were still timid at first, immediately became extremely vicious after staring at Tang Yuxiang. Manager Li hated this woman for destroying all his dignity and letting the servants in the hall see him change with their own eyes.
So embarrassed!
Facing this resentful look, Tang Yuxiang was startled at first, and then got angry. It seemed that she was still too weak. Otherwise, why would Manager Li only be afraid of hitting his Aunt Yu, but not the second grandma of the Lin family?
!
Thinking of this, Tang Yuxiang narrowed her eyes slightly, and covered Manager Li with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "No need, Manager Li is too strong, I'm afraid I'll bandage him, and he will calm down in a while.
Come on, hit me again."
Manager Li felt a tight feeling in his chest when he heard this, but after careful consideration, he finally did not dare to refute.
"Are all the servants who are suing Manager Li here? If they are, let them come into the hall." Tang Yuxiang snorted coldly and stopped looking at Manager Li who was crawling on the ground like a dead dog.
"Go back to Second Grandma, they are all here. I will go and send the message right now." A maid at the door responded and quickly ran out to send the message.
In less than a moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the hall, and then a dozen servants came together. After walking into the hall, they knelt on the ground and shouted to the second mistress, Wan'an.
Tang Yuxiang nodded and got straight to the point, "What crimes do you want to accuse Manager Li of? Tell me one by one."
Gou Wa knelt at the front of a group of servants and was the first to speak. He said what he said to Lin Jingzhi last time in front of Tang Yuxiang. After he finished speaking, the servants behind him also took turns to explain what they had suffered.
The persecution was spoken out.
After Tang Yuxiang finished, her face turned green with anger, but no matter how angry she was, she still retained a trace of reason. After all, she still hadn't figured out what Mrs. Lin's plan was. "Since this matter is still involved,
As for the accountant, go and find him. By the way, there is also the chief steward, wasn't he the steward Li who interrogated with the second master yesterday?"
A servant heard the words and responded, then ran out to look for someone. Tang Yuxiang originally wanted to ask the two aunts behind him what they had suffered, but at this time, two more women dressed as young women walked in from the door of the hall.
woman.
These two people were Aunt Rou and Aunt Shuang. After hearing the summons, they rushed over.
Aunt Shuang was dressed in a white skirt, and her steps were light. As she walked, she looked like a white lotus blooming in the troubled world, holy and pure. After she walked into the hall, she saw Tang Yuxiang sitting on the main seat, so she walked directly up to her.
Then he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed three times.
"My maid wishes Second Grandma a long life."
After saying that, Aunt Shuang turned her head and looked at Zhidong. Zhidong felt that those cold eyes seemed to be able to speak, so she instinctively poured a cup of warm tea and handed it over.
Aunt Shuang reached out to take it, raised it high above her head, and stopped in front of Tang Yuxiang.
Originally, Tang Yuxiang still regretted forcing Aunt Yu to pay her respects. She thought that she should be more generous when these two aunts came, but she didn't expect that Aunt Shuang would kneel in front of her in a daze after entering the hall. She had no choice but to
, she had no choice but to reach out and take it, took a sip gently, and said:
"stand up."
Although Aunt Rou and Aunt Shuang had met Tang Yuxiang several times before, Lin Jingzhi was either sick or out of the courtyard at that time, and it was not convenient to serve tea. At this time, Aunt Rou saw Aunt Shuang offer tea on her own initiative, so she followed her.
Afterwards, he kowtowed three times and said a few words of blessing to complete the etiquette.
The accountant had already guessed that Manager Li was going to be in trouble. After all, he had offended the current head of the Lin family, so he found all the evidence against Manager Li last night and reported it to Manager Li, so that he could get rid of what happened yesterday.
The offended enemy was thrown into the abyss, so that he could never recover, and he could please the second master. How to think about this matter and how to make it cost-effective.
As the little maid came to the hall, the accounting clerk took two hurried steps and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Slave Zhu Hou, I would like to say hello to the second mistress and all the aunts."
After saying that, he kowtowed.
Seeing that the accountant was so polite, Tang Yuxiang took a deep breath. She was really afraid that all the stewards in the Lin Mansion were like Manager Li, and none of them would be obedient. She sat on the main seat and gave her a hand, saying: "Get up."
, I came to you today just to ask about Manager Li’s corruption."
Zhu Hou stood up, still leaning forward, not daring to stand upright, and replied: "Second Grandma, regarding Manager Li's corruption, the slave brought out the evidence yesterday in front of the Second Master. Manager Li cannot deny this matter."
of."
After speaking, Zhu Hou bowed his body and respectfully raised the receipt in his sleeve.
Originally, Lin Jingzhi wanted to take this receipt, but at that time Mrs. Lin sent someone to deliver the message. Lin Jingzhi could not guess what Mr. Lin had planned, so he returned the receipt to Zhu
Hou, ask him to keep it well so that he can take it out to testify when someone interrogates him again in the future.
Without any instructions, Zhidong ran forward, took the receipt, and then ran back and handed it into Tang Yuxiang's hands.
Tang Yuxiang read the receipt carefully and saw two names on it. The one who paid the money was Zhu Hou, and the one who received the money was Li Zhong. This evidence was very important to deal with Manager Li, so after reading it, Tang Yuxiang
He folded it carefully and placed it on the table.
"Li Zhong, don't you doubt the authenticity of this receipt?"
Manager Li was still lying on the ground like a dead dog, without replying and tilting his head to one side.
Zhu Hou was somewhat surprised to see that Manager Li still showed no repentance until now, and then there was a sense of pity in his eyes.
"Second Grandma, that receipt can't be fake. He can't keep it." As a male voice sounded, the butler led several servants into the hall. Immediately, he saw that Manager Li had no etiquette.
Lying in the middle of the hall, with a stern look on his face, he said angrily: "Li Zhong, I think you are really impatient. You dare to be so presumptuous in front of the second mistress. Someone come and pull this slave who doesn't know the rules out."
Let’s hit the twenty big boards first!”
When Manager Li heard the butler's voice, he knew something was wrong. He originally wanted to get up, but he got up so hard that his head hurt, so he lay down again. At this time, he heard that the butler was going to slap him.
His face turned pale with fright, "Butler, I realize that I was wrong. Please spare me this time."
Xu Fu looked at Manager Li's head covered with blood, and he couldn't bear it. After all, this was his subordinate who had been with him for more than ten years. But he had already made it clear that he had offended the second mistress, but he still wanted to apologize to him.
If he pleads for mercy himself, can he agree on behalf of his master? He, Xu Fu, does not have the courage.
"Do it!" Xu Fu just waved his hand, and the two servants following him rushed forward and picked up Manager Li.
Tang Yuxiang had met Xu Fu before, but in the past Xu Fu always had a kind face, just like a rabbit, without any hint of cruelty. Today she saw Xu Fu suddenly changed his face, which shocked her, although she also
I want to give Manager Li a good beating, but this villain is Mrs. Lin’s confidant. I can’t beat him at will.
So he quickly said: "Wait a minute, I have something else to ask him. Let's write it down on the board for now."
The two servants stopped and looked at the butler. Xu Fu waved his hands towards them, and then shouted to Steward Li: "You are dumb? You don't dare to thank the Second Grandma for your kindness!"
Although Manager Li was unwilling to do so, he still got up and kowtowed to Tang Yuxiang a few times, "Thank you, Second Grandma, for showing mercy."
Tang Yuxiang didn't care about the flash of resentment in Manager Li's eyes and waved his hand gently. It was only then that Xu Fu took a few steps forward and kowtowed respectfully to Tang Yuxiang, "Old slave Xu Fu, please say hello to Second Mistress.
"
First there was a steward, and then there was the chief steward of the Lin Mansion. The two of them kowtowed respectfully to the second mistress in the hall in front of many servants. This time, Tang Yuxiang's dignity was earned back.
"Butler, you don't need to be so polite. Get up quickly." Tang Yuxiang gave him a hand, then asked Zhiqiu to move a chair for Xu Fu, and then said: "Butler, I know you are very busy, so I will keep the story short. Now Li
There are witnesses and physical evidence for all the charges against the steward, and there is no falsehood. How do you think we should deal with it? You, the chief steward, know best how the Lin family handles their servants."
After Tang Yuxiang finished speaking with a smile, she felt relieved. The purpose of calling the butler here this time was to ask him to tell the family law. In this way, it would be considered as a punishment for Steward Li. The butler was standing by to support Mrs. Lin.
It’s not good to punish yourself too much.
After all, this big housekeeper has a much higher status than Manager Li.
Xu Fu seemed to see through Xiao Jiujiu in Tang Yuxiang's heart, smiled slightly, and asked: "Second Grandma, I wonder what mistakes Manager Li has made?"
"Withholding monthly quotas, uneven division of labor, bullying others with power, and being a slave who bullies his master!"
"Second Grandma, there is one more thing I haven't reported to you." After Tang Yuxiang finished speaking, she wanted to hear what kind of punishments the butler would say, but she didn't want to hear Gouwa, who was kneeling in the hall, suddenly kowtowed and interrupted.
.
"Oh? Is there anything else? Why didn't you say anything just now?" Tang Yuxiang asked doubtfully.
When Gou Wa heard this, he kowtowed a few more times. The honest young man actually shed a few tears and said, "Second Grandma, it's not that the victim doesn't want to report it, but that the victim was injured last night and can't come today."
Tang Yuxiang realized that there was something hidden in it, and she did not dare to ignore it anymore. She asked seriously: "What is going on? Please explain it clearly to me."
"That's what happened, yesterday..." Every time Gou Wa said something, Tang Yuxiang's face became gloomier. If she was just angry before, now she was filled with rage.
Embezzling money to buy medicine for a guard, kidnapping someone else's wife, and even giving someone advice to sell someone else's son. Are these things that humans do?
She personally experienced a bloody storm that day. Without the desperate protection of the guards, she would have become a dead person now!
After hearing this, how could she not be angry?
"Manager Li, let me ask you, last night, Zhang Er's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were beaten and seriously injured. Was it your instigation?" After a long time, Tang Yuxiang took a deep breath and stared at her with a pair of eyes.
Manager Li's face.
Manager Li was not afraid of this delicate second mistress at first, but this time he raised his head and looked at Tang Yuxiang, but he felt fear for no reason. He was not afraid of Tang Yuxiang's eyes, but of those eyebrows that he had never noticed.
.
picture,
So similar,
I think back then, Mrs. Lin had such a pair of handsome eyebrows!
For no reason, he shivered all over.
Okay, I admit, it finally made an appearance on the new book list, but in order not to fall off, or fall off as soon as possible, I still beg for collection and votes... dd
