Chapter 19 There are so many people.jpg
Jiang Zhiyu found something wrong after she finished washing up. With a dessert in her mouth, she said vaguely: "Where are the others?"
"Except for those who grew up in the prime minister's mansion and know each other well, everyone else has been called away by the madam to be reprimanded."
Zhuying poured her tea and couldn't help saying: "I heard that the prime minister and the old lady had a big fight last night. The prime minister ignored the old lady's obstruction and snatched the account book and the list back. The old lady was so angry that she scratched the prime minister several times!"
"This old lady is quite strong in fighting." Jiang Zhiyu clapped her hands: "Let's go and take a look."
A crowd of people knelt in the backyard. Jiang Zhiyu stood at the back and couldn't help but think of that emoticon pack:
[There are so many people.jpg. Xu Youran, who
was sitting and turning pages, suddenly paused and raised her head. She saw Jiang Zhiyu at a glance. When their eyes met, Jiang Zhiyu waved at her.
Xu Youran: “…”
This is just right. She can use this as an example in front of Zhiyu so that when Zhiyu gets married in the future, she won’t be confused.
“Chunxiang, Chunhe.”
The two maids stood up hesitantly. Except for their clothes, no one could tell the difference between them.
Wow, these are the two concubines that the old lady gave to dad, right? Twins. The old lady still knows how to play.
But these two are also restless and want to seduce the eldest brother! Xu
Youran's eyes narrowed: "Who brought them in? Go and accept the punishment, and you two can leave on your own."
Chunxiang and Chunhe knelt on the ground: "Madam, please raise your hands. Madam is wise. We sisters have been homeless for a long time."
The two cried, tears slowly falling, looking pitiful.
Nonsense! The old lady gave them a lot of money, and their parents bought a house in a nearby town.
The list only recorded when the two of them entered the prime minister's mansion, and did not mention their family background. It was for this reason that Xu Youran mentioned their names.
I didn't expect there would be a matter about the old lady.
Xu Youran waved her hand, and the two servants standing beside her lifted up the two sisters and dragged them out.
Daughters are more useful than lists. Xu Youran drew a few lines on the list, turned it over again, and began to read out the names one by one.
Every time she read out a name, she would listen to Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice. The good ones would stay, and the bad ones would be dragged away directly.
But after half a day, only half of the people were left kneeling, and many of them were children of clean families recorded in the list!
Xu Youran was furious.
Her thundering methods also shocked everyone. The servants kneeling on the ground trembled, fearing that they would be the next one.
After Xu Youran took the opportunity to beat them up, she let them go back to the master's yard to serve. Jiang Zhiyu walked over and poured her a cup of tea personally.
[Mother finally woke up! Great, now I don't have to worry about Song Shiwei buying the servants in my sister's yard to poison my sister! 】
Xu Youran: "Puff——"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xu Youran was snorted and kept coughing, Jiang Zhiyu hurriedly helped her to calm down.
After she recovered, the palpitations still made Xu Youran a little scared.
Before this, she was quite fond of the adopted daughter her husband took in, and she often wondered why her own Zhiyu could not be as well-educated and worry-free as her.
When she first heard that she was involved in poisoning, Xu Youran's first reaction was disbelief.
But thinking of Jiang Zhiyu's previous thoughts, Xu Youran fell silent.
She wanted to find out more information, so she said: "Zhiyu, let's have lunch at mother's place today, okay?"
Jiang Zhiyu nodded naturally.
[Hehehe——delicious food——hehehe. ]
...
Song Shiwei held the handkerchief, Yun Shu stood beside her tremblingly, not daring to say much.
Seeing that it was already time for dinner, and the servants in her courtyard had not returned yet, Song Shiwei finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Go and check the situation in other courtyards."
Yun Shu ran out in a hurry, and a few minutes later, she came back with an ugly face.
"Miss, the other people in our courtyard have been sold out by Madam!"
"What?!" Song Shiwei frowned. Over the years, the confidants she had cultivated with great difficulty were sold out by Xu Youran? !
When she heard the news of the change of ownership of the account books and the list in the morning, Song Shiwei was panicked in her heart. Now that it has become true, she is even more angry. When
beating a dog, one must look at its owner. All the servants in her yard were sold out without asking her a single question...
"What did father say?"
"The prime minister said nothing, and the old lady didn't go either. They all seemed to have tacitly approved of Madam's actions..."
Song Shiwei bit his back teeth: "Didn't Madam Du say anything either?"
"The people over there were all those who came in with Madam Du. Madam never let them come."
As she was speaking, the woman in a green skirt, Yi Qiao, the eldest maid who served Xu Youran personally, stood in the middle of the yard with a dozen little maids, bowed slightly and saluted.
"Miss Song, Madam said that the people who served you before were not of clean background, so they were all sold out just in case. These ones are of clean background, so you can use them without worry."
The maids behind her saluted one by one.
Song Shiwei was so annoyed in her heart, but she had to greet him with a bright smile: "Thank you for your trouble, my small courtyard doesn't need so many people. Just keep a few." If
she kept so many people, wouldn't her every move from now on be under Xu Youran's eyes?
"Miss, don't refuse. You are also a lady of the prime minister
's mansion. What are these servants?" Yi Qiao bowed again: "Madam also said that you are old enough to get married. The third son of the Shangshu family is about the same age as you. What do you think?"
Song Shi's smile froze on his face.
The third son of the Shangshu family? He is plain-looking and talented, and there is nothing outstanding about him. Xu Youran wants to marry her to such a person? !
She secretly hated him, but she forced herself to raise the corners of her mouth: "It's all up to you, Madam. However, I have never met the Third Young Master..."
"Miss, don't worry. Tomorrow there will be a banquet at the Shangshu Mansion, and all the young masters and young ladies will be there. Of course, everything depends on your wishes. In that case, I will take my leave first."
Yun Shu, who was standing next to Song Shiwei, bowed and said, "Goodbye, sister."
After Yi Qiao left, the other little girls started to work spontaneously. Song Shiwei looked around coldly, took Yun Shu into the room, and closed the door tightly.
She is now fifteen years old, and she hasn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet. Xu Youran can't wait to get her out of this mansion?
No, she has to think of a way. She hasn't explored the secret door in Jiang Zhaorong's study yet, and she doesn't know how her biological father died. She can't just get married now!
…
"Blind date? How old are you to have a blind date?" Jiang Zhiyu was still chewing a chicken leg, with a few grains of rice on her face, her eyes full of disbelief.
Although she knew that people in ancient times got married early, she is only 12 years old now!
This is really a punishment!
