Chapter 100 The General's Cannon Fodder Wife Turned Dark 5
Su Li sat elegantly on a chair beside him: "Xiao Cui!"
"Madam, what do you want to ask me for?" Xiao Cui lowered her head and looked submissive for a rare time. The old lady had fallen ill, and the lady would be the head of the house from now on. Of course, she had to serve her carefully.
"What are you doing, little maid? Can't you see that I haven't had breakfast yet?"
After all this time, I haven't even had breakfast! This bunch of tactless people will all be replaced sooner or later.
"I'll ask the kitchen to bring up the food right now!"
After Su Li had eaten and drunk his fill, Xu's medicine was brought up. Su Li took the medicine and asked someone to leave.
I pinched Xu to wake her up personally, and then gently fed her the medicine. Drink it, no matter how much you drink, it won't get better.
Su Li has been very busy these days. She has to take care of her paralyzed mother-in-law, handle the funeral of Wu Yong who just died, and receive guests who come to visit.
After a few days, Su Li looked pale and haggard. Everyone who came to her house would comfort her and ask her to take care of herself.
The ladies who came to visit said that Mrs. Wu was worthy of being the daughter of the general who protected the country, and was truly virtuous and filial.
It's not easy for a woman to support a family. Now she has to take care of Mrs. Wu who is paralyzed in bed. Sigh! Mrs. Wu doesn't even have a child. I don't know how she will live in the future.
——
Su Li washed off the powder on her face at night and happily enjoyed the service of Xiaolian and Xiaoqing. She no longer looked heartbroken, pale and haggard as she did during the day.
Su Li pretended to be weak during the day and meditated at night. When she had time, she would go and annoy the old witch. After a few days, Wu Yong's funeral was handled and Su Li no longer needed to deal with those who came to her house.
Su Li sat lazily on the chair, looking indifferently at a group of servants whispering to each other below.
Although the Wu Mansion was once a marquis's mansion, it was just an empty shell, extremely poor and could barely afford to support the servants.
When the original owner married into the family, she not only supported Wu Yong and his mother, but also this group of servants. As a result, these people took the monthly salary given by the original owner and looked down on her in their hearts.
After Wu Yong died in his previous life, the old witch's true nature was exposed. She made things difficult for the original owner and cursed him, but the original owner endured it submissively.
These servants also followed the trend and had no respect for the original owner. They were extremely perfunctory. Some of Xu's confidants were even worse and dared to lecture the original owner in a sarcastic tone and did not take the original owner seriously.
Now, Su Li doesn't plan to keep these people.
A group of servants saw the lady calling them over and stood there for a long time without saying anything, their faces looking a little unhappy.
But now the old lady is paralyzed in bed, and they are in a panic and dare not show it too obviously.
"Xiao Lian, has the boy arrived?"
"Miss, Uncle Zhou is waiting outside with his men!"
"Well, let Uncle Zhou lead it in!"
When the servants heard about the boy, they all stopped talking, wondering why the Madam had called him here. The clever one's expression changed again and again, and he looked at Su Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, with complicated eyes.
The butler had been waiting for a long time and was already getting impatient. He had always looked down on this lady who had a noble status but was controlled by Xu.
He took two steps forward and asked with a fake smile: "Madam, I wonder why you called us all here? We all have things to do, you see..."
Su Li looked at him with a smile, meaning that this fairy is very idle, right?
"Why, can't I order you around anymore?"
The housekeeper said perfunctorily, "I dare not, madam. There are indeed many things to do in the mansion. If this delays for too long, everyone's work will not be completed by then."
"Since your efficiency is so low, there's nothing I can do!" Su Li sighed and shook her head.
The housekeeper thought she had compromised, and felt disdainful, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Then Su Li said again: "Then sell them all!"
Wow... When the servants heard that they were going to be sold, they were so scared that their faces turned pale.
If they were sold out by their master, where else would they go? Although the male owner of the Wu Mansion was dead, his wife was the daughter of the general who protected the country and was usually generous to them. If they were sold out, would they still be able to meet such a good master?
The housekeeper's face was also unhappy, but then he thought, he is the old lady's man, I don't think the lady would dare to sell him out. He gave himself a reassurance and felt that it was time to improve his reputation.
The housekeeper said righteously, "Madam, how can you sell out servants so casually? They are all elderly people in the mansion and have done nothing wrong. How are you going to explain to the old lady if you sold them out?"
Su Li glanced at him curiously. How did this guy become the butler? He is so stupid. Doesn’t he see that many people in the mansion are obedient now?
The butler is only about forty years old and looks decent. It seems that he has a complicated relationship with the old lady?
Su Li touched his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right. This man must be having an affair with that old hag.
The original owner had seen him coming out of the old woman's room several times in his memory. The old woman's face was glowing. Could it be that she was being nourished?
Wow...you're quite good at having fun!
"Miss, Uncle Zhou is here."
"Miss."
Su Li withdrew his thoughts and looked at the middle-aged man who was bowing respectfully below.
Uncle Zhou was the man given to the original owner by Father Su, and he was Father Su's confidant. In the previous life, Xu said that it would be inconvenient for Uncle Zhou, a middle-aged man, to stay in the mansion, so the original owner let him return to the general's mansion.
Not only him, but most of the people the original owner brought with him were sent back to the general's mansion by the original owner. Otherwise, how could the old woman dare to humiliate the original owner so easily? It was impossible for the original owner to be killed by a scumbag so easily.
"Uncle Zhou, you don't have to be so polite."
"The main reason I called Uncle Zhou here today is to ask him to sell off these servants."
Uncle Zhou knew that the young lady had asked him to bring the servants here to sell off the disobedient servants, but he hadn't expected them to be sold off altogether. These people were sold off to the innocent and kind young lady, and it seemed these evil slaves had bullied her a lot.
Uncle Zhou glanced sharply at the group of pale servants.
"Madam, you can't sell us out. We are the old lady's people."
"Yes, Madam, why would you sell us out?"
"Aren't you afraid that the old lady will blame you when she wakes up?"
"If the old lady wakes up and can't see us, she won't let you go."
Uncle Zhou's face looked grim. It seemed that these people often relied on Madam Wu's power to bully his young lady.
"How dare you threaten the master."
Uncle Zhou's face was dark, and murderous aura was about to overflow from his body. The group of servants were frightened into silence in an instant.
Uncle Zhou followed Su's father to the battlefield, and the murderous aura on him was not something that these people in the inner house could bear.
The housekeeper who had just dared to question Su Li was frightened like a quail when he saw Uncle Zhou coming. He shrank his neck and dared not say a word. Now seeing Uncle Zhou getting angry, he quietly took a few steps back.
"Madam, please consider that I have served you for a long time. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please don't sell me out."
Xiao Cui ran out from somewhere and knelt in front of Su Li, kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying loudly!
