Chapter 454: Improper Housekeeping!
"Yangyang girl, how do you talk like that?" Lin Qingshan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
But he started to teach Lin Yangyang a lesson as soon as he opened his mouth, which was quite surprising.
Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then her face smiled like a flower:
"My Lord, Miss Yangyang is young and naive. She must have been provoked by someone else to act so aggressively."
"Aggressive?" Lin Qingshan smiled.
"Tell me, who provoked the girl Yangyang?"
"Oh, isn't it obvious?" After saying this, Mrs. Zhou looked at Lin Zhiqing with a thief crying "stop thief" and covered her mouth.
Seeing her acting so pretentiously, Chao Yan couldn't help but take a step forward:
"Just talk if you want to. What are you looking at our lady doing?"
Those people who had just been instigated by Mrs. Zhou could no longer bear it.
"My Lord, Miss Zhiqing is young, and it is really too much for her to manage such a large Lin family."
"If the matter of a bowl of ginger soup causes conflicts among everyone, then Miss Zhiqing is not fit to be a housekeeper."
"That's right, what can a little girl do?"
Hearing these words, Chao Yan was extremely angry, and even Lin Yangyang couldn't stand it any longer:
"Have you women forgotten that the Lin family withheld your monthly salary?"
"Mrs. Zhou, you are an old woman now. You will never forget what happened back then."
"Who worked so hard to earn money to pay you and even top up your previous wages?"
this……
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "Miss Yangyang, Jianxin Hall is still the Lin family's property no matter what."
"If Miss Zhiqing gets married in the future, she won't be able to take him with her. So, it seems that the Lin family was able to pay her wages in the first place."
"The old marquis has returned now. No matter what Steward Quan says, it's not Miss Zhiqing's turn to come."
Mrs. Zhou became more and more excited as she spoke. Seeing that Lin Qingshan didn't say anything, she blurted out all her thoughts.
Seeing this, the people around him echoed.
Lin Zhiqing curled the corners of his mouth. It turned out that he was coming for the housekeeper Quan.
When the Lin family fell into decline, no one said anything.
Now that the Lin family has risen again, with Lin Qingshan in charge of the Lin family and Lin Shian becoming a new noble in the court, the people below have become active.
Take that old lady Zhou for example. She simply wanted to use her status as an old lady and the ginger soup as an excuse to condemn Lin Zhiqing for his incompetence.
If Lin Zhiqing no longer manages the household, the management power will be in the hands of those men, and the servants will be able to gain greater benefits.
This was the situation of the Lin family in the past.
Lin Zhiqing has been the housekeeper for so long that he is of course very familiar with the people who came to cause trouble today.
Every month, the Lin family sends a list of rewards to servants to Lin Zhiqing's desk.
These people in front of me have never received any rewards, but have been punished several times.
If it weren't for the fact that they were old and had never left the Lin family, Lin Zhiqing would have taken action long ago.
She didn't expect that by raising them like this, she would actually cultivate greed in those people.
Since the housekeeping power is not in Lin Zhiqing's hands, there is a way to cancel the reward and punishment system.
In this way, the treatment of those who took advantage of the situation, led by Mrs. Zhou, and other people who worked hard was not much different.
Lin Zhiqing understood these evil thoughts clearly.
She looked at Mrs. Zhou and said:
"Jianxin Hall has been mine from the beginning to the end. No matter what happens in the future, it will be under my name."
"How is this possible? If it weren't for the sign of Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion, who would come to see a doctor there?" Mrs. Zhou was a little excited.
"Miss Zhiqing, you can't take all the credit for yourself like this, right?"
Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when he saw Lin Qingshan waving his hand.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, and her expression was very flattering: "Old Marquis, don't you agree?"
"Qing girl, you are indeed wrong!" Lin Qingshan frowned and looked at Lin Zhiqing.
Mrs. Zhou was secretly delighted. It seemed that the old marquis couldn't stand a maid being in charge of the family and wanted to take this opportunity to kick her out.
Then could she get several more taels of silver every month like before?
She took a step forward:
"Miss Zhiqing, as a woman, you're clinging to the power you hold. This is truly against the ethics of a woman!"
"Old Marquis, look, Miss Zhiqing did something wrong!"
"Yes, I did make a mistake." Lin Qingshan's tone gradually became stern:
"Come here, drag Mrs. Zhou out and give her fifty lashes!"
"Yes, beat her!" Mrs. Zhou immediately agreed.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
What's the meaning?
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Qingshan.
Lin Qingshan gritted his teeth:
"You old bastard, you keep saying that you want to change the head of the family. Who do you think you are? How dare you say such a thing to Tong Zhiqing?"
"Qing girl, you made a huge mistake in doing this!"
"People like this who are treacherous and repay kindness with enmity should be kicked out of the Lin family as soon as possible. You have always been soft-hearted, and you have made these people think of you as your master for no reason."
As he spoke, he ordered the guards to lift Mrs. Zhou up.
“Bang!”
When the first board fell, Mrs. Zhou instantly let out a pig-slaughtering scream.
After the two boards fell, Mrs. Zhou finally reacted and begged for mercy:
"I was wrong, old marquis, I was wrong! Ouch!"
"My old bones can't stand such a beating. I was wrong. I shouldn't have slandered Miss Zhiqing. Ouch!"
"Let me go, or someone will die!"
Her reactions before and after were very different, but Lin Qingshan never stopped.
This scene frightened the people nearby. They were trembling and didn't dare to speak at all.
Lin Zhiqing continued to sip his tea as if nothing had happened.
Fifty boards fell down mercilessly. At first, Mrs. Zhou still had the strength to scream, but in the end she had no strength to speak at all.
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Lin Zhiqing clapped his hands and stood up.
She didn't look at Mrs. Zhou, but looked at Mrs. Wu who was hiding aside and said:
"You, come up."
Mrs. Wu swallowed her saliva and knelt down on the ground:
"Miss, what do you want?"
"Let me ask you, what do you think about this ginger soup?" Lin Zhiqing opened his mouth.
"I, I, I think there's no need to disturb Miss Zhiqing and the Marquis for such a trivial matter."
"It's Mrs. Zhou who overestimates her own abilities and wants to cause trouble for me."
"Old thing!" Hearing this, Lin Yangyang pouted at Mrs. Zhou:
"I've never seen such a self-righteous servant. We're both servants, so why would you embarrass others?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou pointed at Mrs. Wu, but she was so weak that she couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu felt relieved.
But the next moment, Lin Zhiqing waved outside:
"Come here, give Mrs. Wu fifty lashes!"
These words were so powerful that Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, and so were the others.
This old lady Wu is clearly the victim, so why should she be beaten too?
