Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 80 Night Trial (2)

She thought for a while and frowned slightly: "Nurse Li, you have always been very clear about rewards and punishments, why did you become confused when it was spread on yourself? If someone does something wrong, they only need to apologize and make up for it. After all, what rules do we need in this world?"

Nanny Li raised her eyes and looked straight at Shen Yuechen, her expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish, she felt ashamed and angry for a moment, and she said indiscriminately: "You really dare to hit me? I have worked hard in the Zhu family for decades, and there are hardships without credit." Lao, even the eldest and young master were brought up by me personally... You should not take care of me, you should also take care of your wife and the old lady..."

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen immediately felt that it was a very clear decision that she hadn't softened her heart just now. She smiled lightly, then stopped her smile, and asked seriously: "Mother, take a good look, I am the eldest mistress of the Zhu family, It's not a little maid that you can control. A dignified master, who is the servant in this yard that I can't beat? Who can I touch? You are just a servant of the Zhu family. When you are old, you shouldn't rely on the old Don't worry, I don't care about your lives, I just tell them to fight slowly."

The board was beaten down one by one, and soon saw the red.The person under the board screamed in pain from the beating, and was quickly covered by the servant next to him.

There was a cold light in Shen Yuechen's eyes, without any sympathy or pity.

For the first time in her life, she experienced what it was like to be a hard-hearted person.She has always been able to endure, what should be tolerated and what should not be tolerated, she has endured it all.But this time, she didn't want to bear it anymore, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

Even after the incident happened, Nanny Li and Zhu An immediately kowtowed and pleaded guilty, but she didn't intend to forgive.Because they are basically harboring ulterior motives, one is greedy for money, the other is greedy for power...Since they all have their own schemes, why are they not intentional?
In this world, there has never been any unintentional fault. If it is unintentional, it is intentional.Therefore, she will not soften her heart to them. Her kindness is not a cheap item, and she can give it to others casually, especially evil slaves like them.

This time is an excellent opportunity, she must be ruthless, and use this opportunity to shock everyone in the courtyard.Let them know that she, Shen Yuechen, is not a weak and incompetent master as she appears on the outside, nor is she a bodhisattva with a soft heart.But anyone who provokes her and schemes against her will never end well.

Sure enough, looking at Nanny Li and Zhu An who were beaten to death, the maids standing around froze in fright, including Qin Taoxi, everyone was stunned.No one expected that the eldest young mistress, who was always gentle and kind, would be so ruthless at times, as if she had completely changed herself.

It is impossible for people outside to know that something like this happened in the west courtyard.

The first lady to arrive was Li Shi, who hurried in with a group of maidservants herself.

When Mrs. Li first heard the news, she still didn't quite believe it. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw many people surrounded by the courtyard. The person who was beaten had already been beaten to the point of immobility, and his body was stained with blood.

Surprised in Li Shi's heart, she immediately stopped her and said, "Stop it!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down in Li Shi's direction to salute.

Shen Yuechen also stood up to greet him, with a calm expression, looked at Li Shifu without changing his expression and saluted, "Greetings to Da Furen."

She had expected that someone would come, either Li Shi or Chai Shi, and it was very likely that even the old lady would be alarmed.

Li Shi glanced at the people on the ground seemingly unintentionally, and found that besides Zhu An, there was Nanny Li, and her heart suddenly turned upside down.

Nanny Li has been in Zhu's family for decades, and she is a decent person anyway, even the old lady has never touched her, but now Shen Yuechen gave her a hard time.

Li Shi glanced at Shen Yuechen with displeasure on his face, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? It's so late at night, you need to use such a big battle?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an inarticulate voice: "Madam, help..." Although Nanny Li is a little older, she can hold on better than Zhu An. After hearing Li Shi's voice, she dragged her blood With a muddy body, she slowly crawled towards her feet, tremblingly grabbing the corner of her skirt, as if she was grabbing her last life-saving straw, with tears streaming down her face, she begged: "Help... ...Madam, save me..."

Seeing Nanny Li's unsightly look, Mrs. Li nodded lightly, looked up at Shen Yuechen again, and said with a bit of anger: "Nurse Li is already over half a hundred years old, why are you making such a move on her? ?”

Hearing the words, Shen Yuechen was blessed again, and said calmly: "Madam, please move to the house to rest for a while, and I will explain the reason to you personally in a while."

Li Shi was startled when he heard the words, and said in amazement: "What do you mean? Is it possible that you want to continue fighting here?"

Shen Yuechen lowered his eyelashes and chose to remain silent.Such silence is equivalent to acquiescing.

In front of so many people, Shen Yuechen dared not listen to her, Li Shi was a little annoyed immediately, and his voice became cold, he said: "What? You haven't made enough noise yet?"

Shen Yuechen had already made up her mind. Seeing that Li Shi was angry, she still said in a calm voice: "Madam Li and Zhu An conspired to deceive the master, and I will punish them according to the family law. After finishing this matter, I will slowly explain the ins and outs to you."

Li Shi raised her eyes and looked at her steadfastly, feeling that she would be very different this time, the docile energy she had when they met during the day suddenly disappeared.

Mother Li finally waited for the savior, unwilling to miss the opportunity like this, she hugged Li Shi's leg tightly with her hands, and begged desperately: "Grandma, please be kind... Madame save me..."

Seeing that Nanny Li's card was full of tears, she couldn't bear it after all, and said: "If you keep beating, you will be killed again, just take it easy. Come in with me!"

Li Shi couldn't let her continue to make trouble, so she just led her into the main room.

Shen Yuechen hesitated for a moment, then turned around and told Mama Wu, "Mom, take care of this place for me." After she finished speaking, she scanned the crowd again, and said, "No one of you is allowed to leave until the eldest lady and I come out. "

The crowd answered in unison.

Now, even the eldest lady Li Shi was alarmed, the bloody example was right in front of them, and no one had the guts to do it again.

Shen Yuechen followed Li Shi into the room to talk, and before she could speak, he knelt down directly.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Li just pretended not to see her, sat down slowly, only looked at her and said, "You really can't be judged by appearances. I didn't expect that at such a young age, you can be ruthless when doing things. Madam Li They are all very old, if you punish her like that, if you beat her to death, how will you explain to the old lady?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Shen Yuechen calmly told her what happened in detail.

After Shen Yuechen finished speaking, Li Shi was speechless for a long time.First, I was shocked, and second, I felt difficult.

It is also common for the maids and servants in the inner courtyard to let people in for a little money. They have never done anything too outrageous. However, it is the first case in the mansion that the inner courtyard and the outer house colluded to plot against the master. .Although the Zhu family's family law is strict, but this matter is not small, and Zhu An is involved, so the old lady must be informed first.

Although Shen Yuechen was not fully prepared, she was [-]% sure in her heart that Zhu An's theft of the account book was not a trivial matter. In addition, Madam Li accepted him as implicated, so she couldn't argue with it. She is not afraid either.

The family law punishes domestic slaves, but she just acts according to the rules, reasoning and reasoning, without bias.

Shen Yuechen continued: "Although I don't understand the way of business, my eyes are still bright, and I can vaguely see that there is something wrong with the account book. I always have doubts in my heart and want to find out for myself. Who knows, Zhu An pressed the patient I can't stop, I'm afraid someone will see something, find out his flaws, and block his way of making money."

"Zhu An was guilty of being a thief, and secretly used Nanny Li to plot against the concubine, and even wanted to take the opportunity to steal the account book. If the maids around the concubine were not vigilant, once they got their hands, I don't know what would happen."

Shen Yuechen said softly, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.Fortunately, it's just that Zhu An is greedy for money, and he only cares about the account. If he had some crooked thoughts and ordered someone to poison her, wouldn't it be impossible to guard against... Li Shi's expression changed slightly after listening to her words, and his eyes gradually changed. Gathering a sense of coldness, he thought for a while and said, "This is not a trivial matter. It involves too much. You and I alone can't make decisions. You have to ask the old lady to come forward." The people around the wife, she committed such a thing, it is impossible to keep the old lady from knowing.As for Zhu An's muddled account, let alone forget it easily.

Shen Yuechen hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does the concubine want to invite the old lady in person now?"

Li Shi looked out of the window and shook his head: "It's getting late, and this matter won't be over for a while, so let's wait until tomorrow morning."

For the sake of two unworthy slaves, there is no need to make trouble for the two ancestors to sleep well.

Li Shi glanced at Shen Yuechen.Seeing her kneeling on the ground with her back straight, her eyes lowered slightly.

"Get up. Stop kneeling, the ground is cold."

Shen Yuechen got up slowly after hearing the words.

Li Shi said again: "You can deal with them according to the family law, but this matter can't be rushed, don't really beat people to death, lest the old lady will pursue them later, and there will be no one who responds. Even if you want them to die , I need the old lady to nod and give them the last share of decency."

Shen Yuechen nodded after hearing Li Shi's words: "Yes, ma'am."

Immediately, Li took a sip of tea, moistened his lips and said, "You are tired after a night of trouble, you should rest earlier. Tomorrow, I will go to see the old lady with you."

Shen Yuechen nodded again, slightly bent his knees and saluted her.He knew that Li Shi would not be annoyed by himself anymore.

With the support of Shen Yuechen, Li stood up, Chunming quickly walked a few steps, opened the curtain, and sent her out respectfully.

Everyone was still waiting in the yard, looking at the mess on the ground one by one, whispering to each other, discussing.

"Mrs. Li is afraid that it will fail. The eldest young mistress is going to punish her to death. I really can't see that the eldest grandma usually looks weak and kind, but she is so fierce when she loses her temper!"

"Hey, the clay figurines still have three parts of earthy nature. What's more, the grandma is from an official family, so how can she not have a temper. Speaking of which, they are all self-inflicted. They usually domineering in and out of the courtyard, but now they are arrested by the grandma. If you have a sore foot, even if you don’t die, you’ll have to shed your skin.” They discussed in low voices while secretly watching the movement in the room.Seeing Shen Yuechen personally helping Li Shi out, she immediately shut up.
