Chapter 66 Killing the Monkey to Honor the Chicken
"You guys were all waiting nearby. Didn't you see that Sister-in-law and Miaomiao got lost here? What are you doing here?
If you treat the distinguished guests in your house like this, you will be held responsible if anything happens to your sister-in-law and Miaomiao.
Hurry up and send the eldest lady and the eldest daughter back to their courtyards. For this offense, you will all be fined three months' salary. If you do it again, you will be expelled from the mansion as a warning to others."
The servants all looked pale when they heard this.
Three months' salary!
His resentment towards Zheng's mother and daughter deepened.
The look in his eyes was like a knife, darting towards Zheng's mother and daughter.
Yu Zihuan, who was standing aside, subconsciously stepped back.
General Chu is really good at calculating.
On the first day, the eldest wife of the Chu family was cut off from any chance to win people's hearts in the mansion.
Look at these servants in the general's mansion, they want to kill Madam Chu and Miss Chu with their eyes.
General Chu knew how to find the weak spot in people.
Chen Zhao glanced coldly at the servants who were waiting not far away. She heard exactly what Zheng's mother and daughter said just now.
The servants in their house are really ungrateful and can never be tamed.
When Zheng first entered the mansion, she bribed someone to reveal her whereabouts.
If she gave them enough silver, they would dare to harm her in the future!
Among these people, there must be someone who has benefited from Zheng, and maybe more than one person.
The servants' faces became more and more uglier, and the sharp eyes were not enough to express the anger in their hearts.
He stared at Zheng's mother and daughter with anger.
What had they done to deserve being implicated by this mother and daughter for no reason?
The mother and daughter were talking and laughing here, but who knew they were lost.
He's such a grown-up, yet he still gets lost. Who does he want to kill?
Why don’t you stay in Jinzhou and come to Kyoto to cause trouble for them!
The expressions of two of the maids were different from the others. They looked at Zheng nervously, then quickly lowered their heads.
Shen Zhao had been observing these servants and easily caught sight of these two unusual old women.
This is a guilty conscience.
She recognized these two people. They were the old men of the Chu family who had been serving in the Chu Mansion. As Chu Mu's position rose higher and higher, these people also moved their mansions several times.
They also considered themselves as the heroes of the Chu family and had been disrespectful to her in the past, even though the salary they received was her money.
Still not taking her seriously.
Now he has been easily bribed by Zheng family. If we don’t kill him now, when will we kill him?
While warning Zheng not to extend her hands too far, she also made an example of someone to scare the ungrateful people so that they would learn their lesson. If killing one didn't work, she would kill a pair.
If one pair doesn’t work, then destroy them all!
He extended his hand and said, "You still have you. Go find the housekeeper, settle this month's salary, pack up your belongings, and leave the General's Mansion."
Since these people are impossible to tame, why should she keep them? She should start with these two old women.
The two old women lost their color in an instant and their faces turned pale.
The one with an even uglier expression than the old woman was Zheng's.
It was through these two old women that she learned that the third brother would pass by here every day.
The third brother definitely didn't point out these two women unintentionally.
He would not drive the two old slaves of the Chu Mansion out of the general's mansion for no reason.
The third brother was warning her.
I felt a chill on my back. Has the Third Brother’s control over the General’s Mansion reached such a terrifying level?
Before she even returned home, she knew about her little move.
Then, were the things she said to Miaomiao also reported to the third brother by his people?
That's why the third brother is disrespectful to her and hates Miaomiao.
No wonder... No wonder the third sister, who has always protected her own people, would be disrespectful to her, the elder sister-in-law, and belittle her niece Miaomiao because of an outsider.
Anyone who is plotted against by their loved ones will feel resentful.
What's more, they are separated from the third brother by a layer.
The third brother is still the third brother, but she and Miaomiao have crossed the third brother's bottom line.
The two old women trembled, and everyone else froze and held their breath.
He even wanted to cut Zheng's mother and daughter into pieces.
The general is well-known for protecting his subordinates. Now that Madam Chu and Miss Chu are left out here, the general must be extremely angry.
But they are also very wronged.
The general not only fined them their salaries, but also made an example of them to scare the monkeys.
But maybe the general killed the wrong chicken.
These two old women are the elders of the Chu family. They should be of the same status as monkeys. They are the ones who should be killed.
Could it be... Could it be that the general is killing the monkey to scare the chicken? If he treats the old man like this, how much more so to them? He might be even more cruel to them and even sell them to human traffickers again.
Thinking of this, everyone became even more panicked. They had to tell their fellow townspeople, their good friends, and their cousins in the mansion.
You must stay away from Madam Chu and Miss Chu, and never get close to them, otherwise you will be slaughtered!
The two old women's hearts almost jumped into their throats. The general's eyes were so scary.
It seems like he can see through everything.
General...why would the general single out these two people?
They must also be driven out of the general's mansion.
Maybe the general knew that they had accepted money from the eldest lady and revealed his whereabouts.
Or... or Madam Chu deliberately came to bribe them and test their loyalty.
The two of them knelt down towards Shen Zhao in panic.
They are the elders in the mansion and have been slaves in the Chu family. The general's mansion treats servants kindly, except for the servants in the second house and the old lady's courtyard.
Servants working in other places can feel relaxed and comfortable, and don't have to worry about being punished by their masters.
Ever since the general got married, Mrs. Shen...bah, Madam, has raised their salaries several times.
The salaries they receive now are higher than those of many servants in dukes' and marquises' mansions. Unless they are crazy, no one wants to be kicked out of the general's mansion.
They are now at this age, and once they are kicked out, that mansion will still want them.
Even if they were accepted, no mansion could offer them such a high salary, and they could never live such a comfortable life again.
With a thud, he knelt down in front of Chen Zhao and begged for mercy: "General, please forgive us. We two old slaves have been blinded by greed. We hope that the general will consider that we are the elders of the Chu Mansion and forgive us this time. We have been slaves in the mansion for decades. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard.
General, I know I was wrong, and I beg for your forgiveness."
Chen Zhao's eyes suddenly turned cold as she looked at the two old slaves who were taking advantage of their age and seniority in front of her.
She is not Chu Mu and has no feelings for them.
"What did you do wrong? Do you need me to tell you clearly? Have you forgotten who the master of this general's mansion is?"
The two old women shuddered. It seemed that the general knew that they had accepted money from the eldest lady to reveal the general's whereabouts.
How could...how could this happen.
If I had known that, I wouldn’t have accepted the five taels of silver.
Because of his momentary greed, he was driven out of the General's Mansion.
The other servants were all confused. The general was so scary.
They must do their duty and not be caught by the general.
Shen Zhao's trick of killing the monkey to offer the chicken was very effective. In less than an incense stick of time, all the servants in the mansion avoided Zheng's mother and daughter.
Shen Zhao leisurely led Yu Zihuan straight to Chu Mu's study.
As soon as he walked into the yard, he met Chu Mu who came out of the study with a frown.
"A Zhao..." Before he could finish his words, Chu Mu widened his eyes in shock and pointed at Yu Zihuan behind Shen Zhao and said, "He... who is he?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
