"Gulp... Gulp..." The child panted and swallowed, as if the drink was endless.
Yan Zhuo's ears turned red. He didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but the stone table was outside the door and the yard was extremely quiet. There was not even the sound of servants moving around, so he listened unconsciously.
Moreover, the brain quickly transforms what is heard into images, without any control over the words or will...
The familiar erotic scene made every cell in his body feel like it was being licked. In an instant, his clothes stuck to his body as if soaked through, and a certain part of his penis was tense and stiff. Yan Zhuo could feel the tingling there without even lowering his head!
Yan Zhuo stood up suddenly, ignored everyone, and walked out with a sullen face.
Qi Ren, who was standing at the foot of the wall holding a sword, followed 껀 a beat slower in confusion.
"My Lord, why are you leaving so suddenly? I haven't even picked up the medicine you bought yet."
Although he was far away just now, he saw it clearly. The prince gave away all the jade pendants of the late princess. He paid such a high price for those few medicinal stones. How could he not take them?
Even if the prince doesn't feel sorry for the jade pendant, he still feels sorry for the medicinal herbs!
Yan Zhuo continued to stride forward, his voice extremely dull, "Go back and get it."
Being so stimulated, all the procedures and words about taking concubines during the wedding were thrown out of his mind.
When Jiang Ying came out after feeding, there was no one in the yard. She was confused, "Mother Chen, what's going on? Where is everyone?"
Mother Chen had just finished cleaning up the chicken and was wondering if the prince was going to have dinner here tonight. She was dumbfounded when she saw this.
"I don't know. Is it because of an emergency that you left first?"
Jiang Ying is not the kind of person who seeks trouble. She can't ask the reason for the time being, so she doesn't ask. On the contrary, she really doesn't want to argue with Yan Zhuo.
As for taking a concubine or not, it is impossible even if the sun rises from the west.
Duke Jiang's Mansion——
The old lady showed her former decisiveness and ruthlessness, and scolded Luo Xiao harshly. In the end, Luo Xiao not only failed to save the two women, but was so angry that her face turned blue.
To be honest, Lian Rui's seniority is there, and she is the one who has been in control of the Duke's Mansion for many years. When she is willing to let it go, others can still take advantage of the opportunity, but if she is not willing to do so, it would be like a frog jumping onto a hot pan - to die!
In front of all the servants, the old lady did not give Luo Yu any face at all, "As the mistress, you are arrogant to the servants and fail to discipline them, which is dereliction of duty!
"As a mother, if you complain that your son is too picky and can't give equal weight to your daughter, then you are unbalanced!
"Not to mention that you chose a marriage like this for Sister Lin!
"From now on, the housekeeping power will be handed back to me, an old lady. If you are dissatisfied, just write a letter to my son over there. I don't believe that he can rebel!"
The old lady didn't give Luo any time to react after she finished speaking, and asked someone to bring Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu to the scene.
The two had been beaten with dozens of boards before, their lower bodies were bloody and their legs were broken.
The old lady had a solemn expression and said to the ground, "Everyone in the mansion, please watch carefully! Our Duke's Mansion is not a place for casual behavior. The country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, but correspondingly, you will also be rewarded if you do well.
"Today, Wang Pozi and Liu Pozi have committed crimes, offended distinguished guests, and abused private punishment. They are to be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and expelled from the government, and will never be employed again!
"And Xuezhi, for taking good care of the young master and protecting him loyally, was promoted to a first-class maid, and was awarded ten taels of silver and ten days of vacation. After her injuries are recovered, she can go back to reunite with her family."
hiss--
The old lady's words caused a great shock among all the servants.
Everyone whispered to each other in fear and joy.
Mainly the ridicule towards Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu, and the envy of Xuezhi for not only being able to upgrade but also getting rewards and vacations.
Someone couldn't help but say, "It's what they deserve! They should have done this a long time ago. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu relied on the fact that they were brought back from the border by the Madam, and they have been showing off in front of us for many years!"
"That's right. The old lady has been away from work for nearly a year. The old people in our mansion have been sent to do laundry or gardening, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work for the least pay!"
"Xuezhi looks so pitiful. She has been serving Master 괗 with all her heart and soul, and yet she is still bullied by his wife. Now, she has finally gotten her reward for all the hardship 괗…"
Except for a few maids and old women who were close to Luo, no one else had any objection to the old lady taking back the housekeeper's power.
Seeing this, Luo 꿻's face turned even more pale and indignant, "Mother, aren't you going too far? I've never heard of an old lady from an aristocratic family giving out and then taking back the power of a housekeeper."
Those years at the border were not considered a big deal, as she was out of reach. But when she returned to Beijing, she had a capable husband, a happy belly, and filial children. Why shouldn't she be the head of the household?
Because of this, she was laughed at by many people behind her back when she first returned to Beijing.
So when the two sons got into trouble and the old woman became disheartened and refused to hold on to power any longer, the happiest person was Luo 꿻.
And the first thing she did after taking on the job was to replace important positions such as the kitchen and small storeroom with her own people!
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu were just small stewards in the inner courtyard. It didn't matter if they were fired. The key point was that the old lady killed the chicken to scare the monkey and took back the housekeeper's power. How could she gain a foothold in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing in the future?
"Humph!" The old lady sneered, "Why, do you want to accuse me of being an old fool and going back on my word?
"Do you think an old woman like me would mind this?
"Luo, if you hadn't managed the mansion so badly, Brother Yi and Brother Chen, as masters, would have been humiliated by the servants. How could I, an old man with almost no feet, be so bad?"
The old lady slammed the table and stood up. "This is how it's settled! If you feel wronged, unwilling, or even hate me, go ahead and make a fuss. I'm waiting for someone to come and ask me for justice!"
After saying this, he walked straight out. His aura was so strong that everyone present was silenced.
Luo bit his nails tightly for a moment, his face pale.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that the Duke's Mansion had never really belonged to her.
"Mother!"
Even so, Luo Yu still hated him in his heart. He couldn't help but stand up suddenly with an unprecedented determination on his face.
He looked as if he was ready to settle accounts with the old lady.
But when the old lady turned her head, she was pulled by Grandma Jiang beside her and staggered to sit down again.
Grandma Jiang bowed and saluted, smiling and saying, "Madam, you are outspoken. Please don't mind me. I will wait for you on your behalf. May you have a safe journey."
Look at Grandma Jiang and Grandma Tang, they are a little nervous about being nice to the old lady.
The latter glanced at Grandma Jiang quietly for a while, snorted softly, and then walked downstairs slowly with Kangjitang.
As soon as the talent stepped out of the door, Luo couldn't help but smashed a cup.
"She, she is really going too far!"
