"Bitch, you will die a miserable death."
Speaking of dowry, Wang thought of the several dowry shops that had been taken away by Aunt Xu before, and she wanted to bite her to death.
When Wang reminded her of this, Aunt Xu also remembered this. When she thought about how she had become more financially comfortable by taking over Wang's two shops and also saved a lot of dowry for her daughter, the smile on her face became more sincere when she looked at Wang.
At this time, Cui Liu, the personal maid, came to report, "Auntie, we have searched the entire house but couldn't find the servants' indentures."
Hearing this, Aunt Xu put away the smile on her face and frowned, "Are you sure you've looked everywhere?"
Cui Liu nodded with a grim expression. She was bought into the mansion after Concubine Xu entered the mansion, and the indenture was also in Wang's hands.
If they cannot get the indenture contract this time, and if Wang retaliates and secretly sells them to a brothel, they will be doomed.
Seeing the solemn expressions of the master and servant, Wang's ferocious face relaxed instantly.
"Why, can't you find what you want? Maybe if you kneel down and beg me, I can be merciful and give you a hint."
Ignoring Wang's pride, Aunt Xu had Aunt Zhang brought in.
She was Wang's personal nanny and was the one Wang trusted the most. Wang had just moved to a new courtyard and was lying on the couch unable to move. It must have been this old woman who hid the things, so it would be right to ask her.
Nanny Zhang was quickly brought in. As soon as Cui Liu took off the dirty apron that was blocking her mouth, she started cursing at Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu was unhurried. She let Cui Liu slap her ten times first, and then waited until she had calmed down a bit before she said, "Tell me! Where did you put the indentures of the servants in the mansion?"
"Bah!" Nanny Zhang snorted at her, staring at her with vicious eyes. "You're just a lowly concubine, and you're dreaming of replacing Madam? Just give up on this idea! I won't tell you even if you kill me."
"Really? Since Madam is enjoying it so much, Cui Liu will work hard and give Madam ten more slaps!"
The sound of slapping people in the face continued to be heard, and Wang Shi kept cursing Aunt Xu with vicious words, asking her to let go of Aunt Zhang.
However, although he screamed loudly, he had no intention of using the indenture to save her.
Soon the ten slaps were over, and Aunt Xu asked again, "Can Aunt Zhang tell me this time?"
Nanny Zhang still had some courage. Her hair, which had been combed meticulously, was now disheveled. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, but she still clenched her teeth tightly.
Just when Concubine Xu was about to ask Cui Liu to take action, Chi Wei, who had been leaning against the door, spoke up, "Concubine Xu, why don't you let someone take a look at the bed again?"
Aunt Xu was stunned. Chi Wei had not spoken a word since he arrived here, and she almost forgot about him.
But, the bed?
Although she had been talking to Wang, she saw the servants search the bed from top to bottom, left to right, and the only thing left was the area where Wang was lying.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing Aunt Xu staring at her, or more precisely, staring at the area below her, Wang suddenly became furious. "I'm warning you, you'd better not do anything rash. This lady is still sick!"
Seeing her reaction, Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. We just want you to move a little and give us some convenience. We won't do anything rash."
Ignoring Wang's shouting, he immediately had her carried off the couch.
Cui Liu went forward to check personally, starting with the sheets, quilt covers, and pillows, opening all the things with interlayers, but still found nothing.
At this time, the bed was empty. Seeing this, everyone looked at Chi Wei.
Where no one could see, Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Wei squinted his eyes and looked at the bed.
As soon as he entered the room, he observed the beams. There was no sign of movement, which meant that the thing could only be underneath.
But the servants had already searched everywhere they could, except the bed.
Can……
After looking around the room again, he walked straight towards the bed.
No one noticed that Wang and Zhang were also staring at the bed nervously.
Coming to the bed, Chi Yong took off the sword from his waist without hesitation and slowly knocked on the bed with the sword.
When he knocked on the middle of the bed, he suddenly paused, then knocked twice again.
Then he exerted force with his hands, and everyone heard a "click". The bed that was originally fastened together was actually made into a hole by his sword.
"this……"
Seeing this, Cui Liu hurried over to check, and sure enough, she took out a small locked box from inside.
Aunt Xu ignored Wang's struggle and personally found the key from her. When she opened it, she found the indenture they had been looking for for a long time.
No wonder everyone couldn’t find it, it turned out that there was a secret compartment on the bed.
Seeing Wang and Nanny Zhang looking as if they were all finished, Aunt Xu felt secretly happy.
"Thank you very much, ma'am."
After mocking Wang, he was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of Nanny Zhang with disheveled hair standing beside him.
She paused, walked over to Aunt Zhang, turned her head to look at Wang, and said with a smile, "Didn't Madam just say that she wanted to sell my maids to brothels?
Madam also knows that I, the housekeeper, have no experience and really don’t know where to send those evil slaves who are disloyal!
However, I think your suggestion is a good one. Why not let Aunt Zhang go and explore the route first? When your trusted aides go there later, they will have someone to look after them."
"Xu Hongwei, you will not die well." Aunt Zhang was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Aunt Xu.
Unfortunately, he was held down by two old women and couldn't move at all.
Aunt Xu turned around and looked at her with a smile: "Don't worry, Ma'am. You are already so old, it shouldn't be a case of losing your integrity in your later years. At most, you will be tired and have to do some rough work."
"Xu Hongwei, you damn bitch, I curse you..."
The two maids beside her saw that she was swearing, so they quickly grabbed something from the ground to cover her mouth and dragged her away.
At this time, Wang finally reacted, "Xu Hongwei, you let Fu Yu go, and if you dare to touch her, just try it."
"Just give it a try."
Aunt Xu didn't think twice and immediately found the indentures of Aunt Zhang Fuyu from the thick pile of indentures and handed it to Cui Liu. "Aunt Zhang is a capable person by Madam's side. I think she should do more work and find a bigger brothel for her."
He no longer paid any attention to Wang, who was lying on the ground like a mad woman, and left with his servants.
After going out, I saw the little girl who had just been scolded by Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Xu took a subtle glance at the scars that were barely visible under her sleeves, and immediately promoted her to be the head maid in the courtyard.
"You must take good care of Madam and don't let her get too seriously ill."
What this means is, don't treat her too well.
