All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 6 Learning to Do the Rules
His attitude looked respectful, but what he said sounded very yin and yang.

Shen Lingxi usually followed Ah Weng to do errands for others, and many of them were invited by high-ranking and wealthy families to come to the door. This kind of servants and maids who praised the high and trampled the low were seen a lot.

Usually, she would be rude to say a few words.

Now thinking of Ah Weng's instructions before he left, he didn't bother to argue with this person, so he said: "I still have some things to do here, I can't leave until I finish them, you go and wait outside first."

Her voice was naturally soft and clear, like spring water.Coupled with the beautiful appearance and clear eyes, it makes people feel as weak and deceitful as a dodder flower.

Mama An came today under the orders of her master, and seeing Shen Lingxi's appearance of collapsing when the wind blows, how could she be polite to her.

Pi smiled and said without a smile: "Before the servant came, Master Hou explained that the fifth girl grew up in the countryside and was not disciplined. She must not understand the rules. Master Hou asked the servant to mention more girls. The rules of the house. If there is any offence, I hope the girl will forgive me."

He turned his head and gave an order to the four strong servants behind him, "Go, 'invite' the fifth girl into the car."

The four strong servants are all familiar hands in the back house, so they know how to handle a little girl without breaking the skin, especially when dealing with this "little white flower" in front of her.

They rolled up their sleeves and surrounded Shen Lingxi.The first two servants pressed Shen Lingxi's arms from left to right without any effort.

Shen Lingxi's right shoulder was pinched tightly, and there was a dull pain.

She frowned.

Mama An stroked the handkerchief in her hand leisurely, walked up to her, and smiled lightly, "Oh, I want to teach Fifth Miss that the first rule of our Xuanping Hou Mansion is to listen to the elders and not to behave inappropriately." Humiliation. Dealing with dead people is the most unworthy job, and you can’t do it again after you return to the mansion. If you don’t obey, you have to be punished. This is called making rules, understand?”

"Oh..." Shen Lingxi dragged her voice and understood, "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This is the rule of Xuanpinghou Mansion."

Seeing that she was neither crying nor fussing, Mama An looked up to her a little bit.

Just as she was about to speak out and teach her to be good again, she saw that the delicate girl in front of her suddenly became shorter, she deftly broke free from the hands of the two maids, turned her white wrist backhand, pinched the onion-like fingers on the elbow joint of the maid on the right, The hands are staggered up and down like holding flowers——

Only two crisp joints of "click, click" were heard.

"Ah! Ah!!!" The maid immediately screamed like a pig being killed.

The pain was excruciating, big beads of sweat came out from the servant woman's forehead, and she plopped to her knees on the ground.

The other three had never seen such a battle before, so they retreated subconsciously.

Mother Ann was shocked.

She never expected that a little girl like a dodder flower would be so ruthless.

Shen Lingxi turned her wrist, with an innocent look on her face, "I like the rules of the Xuanping Hou Mansion very much. Look, mom, how do I learn the 'rules'?"

"well……"

Seeing that the maid hadn't slowed down for a long time, Mama An feared that her arm might be broken, so she took two steps back, her voice trembling, "Forgive me, Miss Wu, this old servant also listened to Master Hou's orders... just, just... "

"Since the rules are established, then act according to the rules, it doesn't matter if it's the orders of Lord Hou." Shen Lingxi took two steps forward, and asked by analogy: "Is this the truth, mother said?"

Mother An pressed her back against the door, "Yes...Yes..."

"Since my mother called me 'Five Girls', she respected me as the master of the Hou Mansion. Just now I said that I would leave later, but my mother wanted someone to arrest me. Is this not listening to the master?" Shen Lingxi's hand, Gently put it on Mama An's shoulder, and asked earnestly: "According to the rules of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, how should I be punished?"

Mother An only felt that what was placed on her shoulder was not the little girl's hand, but a life-threatening knife.

If she followed the method just now, her shoulder might be useless.

Mother An was frightened and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Crack! Crack! Crack!" She slapped herself hard and begged for mercy, "Five girls, please forgive me. It's the old slave who didn't know how to measure and bumped into the girl. Please forgive the old slave." This time."

"Since Mom knows she's made a mistake, for the sake of Master Hou, let's forget it this time."

Shen Lingxi withdrew her hand, with regret in her eyes, and said considerately: "If there is another time, the arms and legs should be relaxed. I am a girl who grew up in the countryside. I don't care how serious I am. I did it on the corpse. If the work is placed on a living person...at my mother's age, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong." Mama An kowtowed, "Thank you, Miss, for your mercy. I'll go out and wait, and I'll go back to the house after the girl is done."

After finishing speaking, he led the four servants out of the main hall.

Shen Lingxi picked up the booklet that fell on the floor just now, and dusted off the dust on her head, she didn't care at all whether the maid had really received Xuan Pinghou's order to treat her like this.

I just thought to myself, this should be regarded as their first move, not breaking their promise to Ah Weng.

We will follow this standard from now on.

After thinking this through, she walked out slowly.

As soon as he walked out the door of the main hall, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.

At some point, the courtyard was full of solemn servants, staring at her mightily.

Shen Lingxi blinked, and estimated the distance between the main hall and those clerks in her heart.

I don't know if the Yachai heard what she said in it just now.

If you hear...

After that, her appearance as a "weak orphan girl" will not be easy to continue acting.

"Shen Lingxi, Yaoniang's body is stored with you, was it your fault last night?" a voice asked in a deep voice.

Shen Lingxi raised her eyes, and saw the magistrate Zhao Cheng, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, looking at her with an angry face.

Next to Zhao Cheng stood a tall man in a vermilion official gown and a gauze cap.

The man stood with his arms around his chest, looking at her for a long time.

He has a very handsome appearance, with a pair of eyes full of affection. When looking at people, the tails of his eyes are slightly raised, and there seems to be endless affection in his eyes.

Mu Huai'an, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

A person who gave Shen Lingxi a headache.

She hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects, her clear eyes were full of blankness, "What does the Master mean by this? Isn't Yaoniang's body kept in the ice cellar? Last night? What happened last night?"

With the status of the Xuanpinghou Mansion, Zhao Zhifu must respect him three points, his tone is so impolite, he must have not heard the commotion in the main hall just now.

Mu Huai'an sneered, looking like he was watching the show.

Zhao Zhifu didn't have that much patience, "Hmph, the corpse exists here, if you don't know, could it be that Yaoniang really cheated the corpse and ran to Niujiao Lane! Playing tricks, I think you are tired of life." He waved, "Come here, go and carry Yaoniang's body out, and do an autopsy on the spot!"

The Yacha listened to the order and immediately rushed into the main hall.Three gangsters carrying wooden boxes also came in from the courtyard door.

A corpse, brought three forensics for examination.

This is clear, and the matter of "Yao Niang's fraudulent corpse" must be thoroughly investigated.

Shen Lingxi's indifferent expression made her "panic" visible to the naked eye.
