After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 75 The Evil Slave
Qi Tanying looked at Xiangzhi carefully under the light, and saw that she was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round oval face, and her appearance could only be considered delicate.

At this moment, her left cheek was swollen very high, and there were five very obvious red marks on it. It could be seen that she had been beaten.

Thinking of the previous applause, Qi Tanying's face became very ugly. This Du Yu usually looked upright, but who knows that he molested the maid at home while he was drunk, and even became angry and beat others in anger when he failed to moleste.

Is it true that the rules of the Yan family are decorations?

Qi Tanying said to Xiangzhi: "Go back and rest first, I will seek justice for you tomorrow."

Xiangzhi couldn't believe it, and knelt down in front of Qi Tanying with a plop, kowtowing non-stop, "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie."

When Qi Tanying heard her kowtow, she knew that she was sincere, "You will follow Ting Lan to get a bottle of anti-swelling ointment in a while, and go to the inner courtyard to wait on the face after the swelling subsides."

Go to the inner courtyard to serve?Xiangzhi was stunned, was this a blessing in disguise?
Just when she was dazed, Qi Tanying had already taken Ting Lan away.

Early the next morning, Yan Li woke up from his drunkenness, subconsciously hugged him with his long arms, but found nothing.After opening his eyes and seeing the furnishings in the house, he remembered that he was drunk last night, so he rested in the study for fear of disturbing his wife.

He sat up from the couch and rubbed the sore brows, and when he was about to go to bed, he suddenly remembered that someone had come to deliver hangover soup last night.

The person who came seemed to be a woman.

Yan Li's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly checked his clothes.Then he breathed a sigh of relief, except for the outer clothes and shoes and socks, the rest of the clothes were on well, but they were a little wrinkled and had a slightly sour smell of sweat.

At this moment, Qi Tanying opened the door and came in, holding a change of clean clothes in his hand.

Seeing his wife, Yan Li didn't even care about wearing shoes and socks and walked in front of her barefoot, "A Tan, did you come to bring me hangover soup last night?"

Qi Tanying wanted to tease him, so she shook her head.

Disappointment flashed across Yan Li's face, and he asked again: "Or did you ask Ting Lan to deliver it?"

Qi Tanying shook her head again.

After hearing this, Yan Li frowned and muttered, "Could it be that I'm dreaming?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Qi Tanying couldn't help but burst out laughing, and gave him a reproachful look, "You, don't get drunk in the future, otherwise I really can't stand it."

Then he told all the good things he did last night.

Yan Li heard that he was drunk and playing crazy, so he smiled uncomfortably, "Fortunately, only A Tan saw it."

Qi Tanying asked him: "Do you remember what I said last night?"

Yan Li was dumbfounded, what did he say last night?No impression at all.Qi Tanying couldn't help but glared at him, and she really refused to admit it after waking up.

She threw the clothes into his arms, "You can wear them yourself."

Seeing that she was annoyed, Yan Li quickly pulled her and said, "A Tan, although I can't remember what I said last night, I can assure you that what I said are my truest thoughts."

He still knows himself better, and he will never say something sad while drunk.

Qi Tanying didn't really want him to admit his mistake, she glanced at him, "Okay, I won't bother with you this time."

Then he talked to him about Du Yu molesting Xiangzhi after drinking.

Yan Li's face darkened when he heard this, and he wanted someone to call Du Yu over immediately.

Qi Tanying hurriedly stopped him, but Du Yu was not stupid. If Yanli asked him directly, he would definitely not admit it, and maybe he would beat him up, saying that Xiangzhi seduced him on his own initiative.

She said: "I have already transferred Xiangzhi to the inner courtyard, so it's fine for him to behave well in the future. If he is not honest, don't blame me for disregarding relatives."

Seeing that she had already made a decision, Yan Li nodded, "Let's leave it at that." He will strictly restrain him in the future.

After Xiangzhi was transferred to the inner courtyard for a while, Qi Tanying asked Ting Lan about her, and Ting Lan had a good impression of her, "She is hardworking and capable, not only good at embroidery, but also cooking medicinal food, but she is a little timid. "

"She can cook medicinal food?" Qi Tanying was curious about this.

Ting Lan said: "His father was a doctor, but he became addicted to gambling, so he sold her for a few taels of money from gambling. Our family wanted to buy a maid last year, and the matchmaker brought people to the door, and the madam chose her right away. Knowing that she can cook medicinal food, I asked her to accompany her as a dowry to Yan's family."

Qi Tanying frowned, "Then why was she assigned to the third hospital?"

Ting Lan told the whole story.

It turned out that Madam Zhuang, who was next to Mrs. Yan, had always been responsible for the deployment of maids and servants.Nanny Zhuang is an old man who has been with Mrs. Yan for many years. She looks kind and amiable on the outside, but she is actually greedy for money and mean on the inside.

If the maids and servants below want to be assigned easy tasks, they must please Zhuang Nanny.As Qi Tanying's dowry maid, Xiangzhi was assigned by Madam Zhuang to the third courtyard as a rough envoy because she had no money to take care of it.

What is even more irritating is that Mother Zhuang not only accepted bribes herself, but also arranged her son and daughter-in-law in lucrative positions.His son, Liu Zhuang, who didn't know how to read, was in charge of purchasing, and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bao, was in charge of the kitchen and beat and kicked the girl who set the fire at every turn.

Because Nanny Zhuang was behind them, no one dared to resist.

Qi Tanying was displeased when she heard this, she didn't expect that Nanny Zhuang was actually a loyal outsider and a traitor inside.It's also because of her negligence that she let that old guy's family of three dominate the house.

Qi Tanying asked Ting Lan to take the previous account book, and looked through her purchase bills before she married.It's okay not to watch it, but after reading it, I was annoyed and laughed.

"Eggs cost one liang of silver each, tofu costs [-] yuan a piece, and even green vegetables cost [-] yuan a piece. Are they willing to offer such a price?"

Ting Lan found it inconceivable after hearing this, but after a little thought, she understood the key point.

Before my wife married in, although Mrs. Yan was the housekeeper in name, Nanny Zhuang was actually in charge.If the madam hadn't suddenly wanted to check the previous account books, I'm afraid no one would know that the price of the purchased goods would be so outrageous.

When Qi Tanying first took over as the housekeeper, Ting Lan also helped with the calculations.

The bill from the Liu Zhuang newspaper was very clear. Eggs cost fifteen yuan each, and the prices of tofu and vegetables were ten yuan and five yuan respectively. Although they were a bit more expensive than the street vendors outside, they were barely normal.

The water was so clear that there were no fish, Qi Tanying thought that as long as she was not too greedy, she would turn a blind eye and not pursue it.Unexpectedly, they were afraid of her new official appointment, so they didn't dare to do it so blatantly.

Such a family thief and evil slave must not be condoned and raised.

But Nanny Zhuang was close to Mrs. Yan, no matter how angry Qi Tanying was, she couldn't get past her mother-in-law to deal with her.To deal with such tricksters, one must grasp their criminal evidence, so that they can no longer make trouble.

She made a list of the normal prices she inquired from outside, and made a comparison booklet with the bills from Liu Zhuang's newspaper, and then continued to let people stare at Nanny Zhuang's family of three.

Nanny Zhuang has helped Old Madam Yan manage the house for so many years, so there must be a lot of money that has been corrupted. To catch thieves and seize stolen goods, one must find the silver taels that were corrupted by them.
