The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 139 The unfamiliar white-eyed wolf

Shi Yao smiled: "It must be that the eldest sister didn't like it and gave it to Fourth Madam's person, and Fourth Madam's person deliberately embarrassed me and gave it to the little maid.

Sister Muxiang, Sister Rendong, you two go and make a scene, and ask the Third Madam to make the decision for me. I want to see if the Third Master dares to ask the eldest sister for justice, or ask the fourth sister-in-law for justice! "

There was no need for her to personally show up and scare the maids. Muxiang and Rendong would be enough.

After giving the instructions, Shi Yao only took Aunt Liu Hua with her, leaving the rest to them. She went back to Guanju Courtyard to continue learning embroidery.

Muxiang and Rendong do not quite agree with Shi Yao's approach. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

The things intended for the eldest girl ended up in the hands of the maids, and it was actually Shi Yao who was embarrassed.

Of course, Shi Mingzhu inevitably got a bad reputation for being cold and heartless and despising her sisters.

But think about it, if they don't make a fuss and just keep silent, the servants will become even more unscrupulous.

The two maids waited until Shi Yao had walked some distance before they stepped forward and shouted to the maids, "Where did you get the shuttlecock?

We remember clearly that these two shuttlecocks were given to the eldest daughter by our daughter yesterday. How did they end up in your hands? Tell me, did you steal the eldest daughter's things?"

The maids were terrified. If they stole their master's things, they would be beaten with a stick. If they stole Shi Mingzhu's things, they would be sold at the very least, and beaten to death at the worst.

Everyone talked at once and said that it was given by Sister Zhirou.

Muxiang had Lianqiao as an insider. She knew that it was Shimi who sent the shuttlecock. She and Rendong used this as an excuse to go to the Shenmao Pavilion to look for Zhirou.

"The eldest girl cherishes her reputation the most, and she treasures the affection between brothers and sisters the most. Although the shuttlecock is a worthless little thing, it is also a token of our girl's heart. It must not be given to the little maid by the eldest girl. It must be you, Zhirou, who took the initiative to take the second girl's things!

You are good at provoking the master's daughter! The fifth young master cried and asked for a chicken feather shuttlecock, and you didn't obey the master's order to give it to the eldest girl, but you didn't even give it to the fifth young master, and instead used the girls' things to buy people's hearts. You are blind and have no conscience!"

Muxiang and Rendong dragged and twisted Zhirou who was crying out for justice. They did not listen to her explanation and went straight to Fusuiyuan to ask the third wife Rong for justice.

Rong's face was as gloomy as dark clouds.

For a chicken feather shuttlecock, they quarreled again and again, and repeatedly implicated Fan Ge'er. The third branch was really embarrassed.

Fourth grandmother Gong Xuan had heard the news that her father-in-law had sought justice for Fan Ge'er but not only got her justice, but also got into trouble. She had been feeling uneasy and hiding in her room, saying that she was taking care of her pregnancy.

When she heard that Zhirou was taken away outside, she hated Shi Yao for not giving her any face. She hated and complained, and then she sobbed and cried, and asked someone to send a letter to the camp in Jingji, asking her husband Shi Mingkui to go home to support her.

At this moment, Rong sent someone to invite her to Fusuiyuan, but she was too embarrassed to go.

A group of people were crying and quarreling, and Fusuiyuan was as lively as a vegetable market.

Shi Mi was summoned again for a confrontation, and the whole cause and effect was finally explained clearly. Zhi Rou also repeated every word of Shi Mi's arrogant words.

After hearing this, Rong felt mixed emotions and suddenly felt that all these years had been wasted. Her grandson had suffered so much!

Unfortunately, his son's heart is tied to Shi Mingzhu, and his daughter-in-law's heart is also tied to Shi Mingzhu and Zheng.

She was so heartbroken that she almost cried.

She also loves Shi Mingzhu, but it depends on who she is compared with.

In her opinion, her favor for Shi Mingzhu is in contrast to that for Shi Yao.

Of course, her favorite people are her own sons and grandsons.

Shi Mi had already reported to Shi Mingzhu what happened in Ganlu Hall at noon and had taken remedial measures early on.

He opened the storehouse, dug out the dusty box, took out ten beautiful and exquisite chicken feather shuttlecocks, packed them into two boxes and gave them to Brother Fan, and the other young masters also got two.

But this remedy cannot save anything.

In order to avoid getting involved with Shi Mingzhu, Shi Mi had to grit her teeth and accept that she had made the decision on her own and gave the gift from the second girl to the eldest girl to Zhi Rou.

Zhirou did not dare to blame her master and just said that she did not tell Fourth Madam and that she had made the decision on her own to give the chicken-feather shuttlecocks to the maids. In fact, Gong Xuan knew everything and in order to save Shi Yao's face, she personally instructed Zhirou to give the chicken-feather shuttlecocks to the maids.

They had not expected that Shi Yao would not care about her face and would make a scene, tearing off everyone's fig leaf.

Rong's heart ached, her head ached, and she ordered in a cold voice, "Come here, Shi Mi and Zhi Rou took the master's things without permission, which is equivalent to stealing the master's property. Give them ten strokes of the cane each, and deduct half a year's salary!"

The beatings in the Duke's Mansion were different from those in other mansions, because the Shi family was a military family, and the beatings there were harsher than in other families. Ten beatings on a delicate and weak maid would be enough to take half of their lives!

And they had to take off their pants and beat them. How could they face people and get married in the future?

They are all the head maids serving the young lady's grandmother. How will the younger maids under them be managed in the future?

Shi Mi and Zhi Rou begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare us! We will never dare to do it again!"

Isn't it just a feather shuttlecock worth less than half a penny? How could it be so serious that he got beaten?

It was common for the personal maids and respected servants in the Duke's Mansion to make decisions on behalf of their masters and reward the maids and old women under them.

Rong was feeling sorry for her grandson, and was too lazy to listen to their cries. She threw away the sign and waved her hand: "Shut their mouths, drag them away and beat them! The shuttlecock is a small matter, but provoking the master is the biggest mistake you have made! Others should take this as a warning!"

Everyone bowed in response.

Shi Mi and Zhi Rou covered their mouths and were dragged away crying to be beaten with a stick.

Muxiang and Rendong were filled with gratitude and thanked Rong for his wise thinking. Then they went back to tell Shi Yao the result.

Rong's eyes were gloomy, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and ordered: "Where is Brother Fan? His mother is pregnant, so bring him to Fusuiyuan to take care of him for a while.

Find the person and bring him to me directly. Then tell Fourth Grandma and ask her to have someone pack up Fan'er's daily necessities and send them over."

The maids and servants hurriedly agreed.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a maid came in in a panic and reported, "Madam! The eldest madam sent someone to take Shi Mi away, saying that Shi Mi was a beautiful girl and that she was going to be the maid of the future eldest son-in-law. It would be a pity if she was beaten to death. Please show some mercy and forgive her this time."

Rong's trusted confidant, Nanny Wang, quickly asked, "You didn't stop them?"

The old woman said awkwardly, "We stopped them and explained the whole story. There were so many of them. They just said it was the eldest wife's order and they didn't dare to disobey the order. They just snatched the person away."

He didn't even send someone to Rong to explain, and didn't take Rong seriously at all. Nanny Wang was furious and turned to look at Rong's face.

Rong's face turned completely gloomy.

Another maid came in and whispered in Rong's ear, "Madam, it was the eldest daughter who sent Lian Qiao to ask the eldest lady to intercede for her. The eldest lady did not say a word and immediately sent someone to our Fusuiyuan."

Rong closed his eyes slightly.

An ungrateful person who can never be tamed! If Shi Mingzhu had someone come to her to plead for mercy, she might not be unwilling to let Shi Mi go for her sake.

After the whole incident, only Gong Xuan's maid was beaten, and the eldest house completely suppressed the arrogance of the third house.

The man was not ambitious enough. Rong had never thought of competing with Zheng, and this result was like a slap in the face.
