Chapter 20: Punishing spies without mercy
Qin Hanzhang's eyes turned cold and he narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't look at Su Geng.
"Su, the maids in this courtyard should learn some rules. You can discipline your eldest maid, but next time you interrupt the master when he is talking, don't blame me for not giving them face."
[The first shock was actually given by the Marquis? What a waste of my design! 】
Su Qianqian looked embarrassed, and looked at Su Geng, whose face turned pale. "Su Geng, even if I spoil you, how can you be disrespectful in front of the Marquis? Since you can do this, go to the yard and kneel down to guard the spider box. If you can't make the roundest web tomorrow, I will hold you accountable."
"Su Ye, go watch Su Geng release the spider and beg the Weaver Girl on Su Geng's behalf. I will be heartbroken if it doesn't work."
"Yes, Madam!" Su Ye's eyes lit up instantly. He took the Xizhu box and pulled the dazed Su Geng out.
Su Mu, who was standing with his hands hanging down, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes. He went over, picked up the fan, and slowly fanned Su Qianqian.
Qin Hanzhang sighed inwardly: Playing the role of a pig to eat the tiger, killing someone with a borrowed knife, Su Qianqian can enter the court with all these tricks.
"Thank you very much for these little gadgets, my lord. I am sorry to have embarrassed you with my stupidity." Su Qianqian thanked Qin Hanzhang, asked the maids to help Qin Hanzhang bathe and go to bed, and then went back to her own bedroom.
[Tell me quickly, what’s going on with their love triangle? 】As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Su Qianqian called the system to continue eating melons.
[Chun Tao is a young girl, but very smart. She started out as a maid in the laundry house, and because of her hard work and ability to read people's expressions, she worked her way up to become a second-class maid in the inner courtyard.
Chuntao is not good-looking, but she is obsessed with faces. Fu Mo, the servant of the Sixth Young Master, is handsome, and Chuntao can't forget him since she saw him. Every time she finds an excuse to go to the Sixth Young Master's courtyard to borrow or return something, it is just to take a look at Fu Mo and say a few words.
Fu Mo is different from Chun Tao in that he values promising people. The Third Miss is favored in our house, so her eldest maid Qingyu will naturally be favored as well. So Fu Mo took advantage of the closeness between the Third Miss and the Sixth Young Master's siblings and tried to find a way to get close to Qingyu.
However, Qingyu had been learning martial arts with the Third Young Miss since she was young, so she liked people who knew Kung Fu. The Fifth Young Master's servant Qingfeng was good at Kung Fu and was a man of few words, so Qingyu liked this type of person.
But Qingyu didn't know that before Chuntao entered the Marquis' Mansion, the little beggar she saved was Qingfeng. After Qingfeng entered the Marquis' Mansion, he accidentally recognized Chuntao when he went to the laundry house. He has been paying attention to her and was gradually attracted by Chuntao's tough and cheerful personality. He fell in love with Chuntao, and thus a love triangle began. 】
[Hahaha, fate is really unsolvable. Let's not worry about their love triangle for now. Since Chuntao is smart and useful, why not promote her from the second-class maid to the first-class maid to replace Su Geng's position. Of course, this promotion should be done secretly to confuse Su Geng to reveal his true identity, and at the same time give Chuntao tasks to see how she performs. 】
Su Qianqian lay on the bed, crossed her legs, and studied the plan with the system.
[This is a decision that you have to make yourself. As a system, we can only provide appropriate suggestions and cannot make decisions for you. 】The system immediately corrected its identity.
[Go to sleep. You have to perform a play early tomorrow.] Su Qianqian turned over and lay down. Su Mu gently covered her with a thin quilt, put down the tent and walked out.
After hearing this, Qin Hanzhang fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, Su Qianqian got up and went to the yard, tiptoeing like a thief to the side of the staggering Su Geng.
"Su Geng, I'm sorry to have wronged you. You know it's hard for me to work in the mansion. If the Marquis is not happy, I can only punish you for show... Is the spider web formed?"
Su Geng: You call this appearance?
"Young Madam, it's...it's done..." Su Geng replied weakly.
"Then go back to your room and rest. You'll be busy today..." Su Qianqian picked up the Xizhu box and kindly drove Su Geng away.
Su Geng: Are you afraid that I will faint and be unable to work?
Unable to express his pain in words, he could only get up tremblingly, thank Su Qianqian, and drag his stiff legs back to his room.
After the hour of Chen, the backyard of Wuning Marquis's mansion became lively.
The girls first dried their books and clothes, and then took out their spider boxes to compete. Su Qianqian, who usually hid far away, was pulled over by Qin Yuzhuo to join everyone today. Unexpectedly, her spider webs were so numerous and round that she won the prize awarded by Old Madam Qin.
[The fifth lady got up several times in the middle of the night and thought her web was not round enough, so she secretly replaced the fourth lady's spider box. 】The system quietly feeds melons.
[Hahaha, I was a little scared and didn't cover the box properly, so I squeezed the spider to death. I found it this morning and quickly caught another one and put it back in. This is why the spider web is so sparse. 】
All the girls and wives of the Qin family, except the Fifth Miss, were trying to hold back their laughter. The Fifth Miss was so embarrassed and angry that she was about to cry. Her spider web was the worst, but she didn't dare to say a word for fear that Su Qianqian would find out.
[However, the Happy Spider Box that the Fourth Miss took was not the Fifth Miss's, but her maid Cui Liu's. She secretly changed it without letting the Fifth Miss know. She tied brocade on the outside of the box to cover the pattern, and gave Cui Liu a string of money as hush money. 】
[Hahaha, it turns out that these two sisters are cheating! 】
Su Qianqian was enjoying the melon, while the two sisters over there changed their expressions, knowing that their past secrets had been exposed by Su Qianqian and they would become laughing stocks in the future.
Old Madam Qin and her daughters-in-law who were watching the fight nearby couldn't help laughing. They found that with Su Qianqian's melon, there was obviously more laughter in the Marquis' Mansion.
Everyone was talking and laughing when Nanny Cheng came in. The Qin family wives secretly looked at Su Qianqian with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
While Su Qianqian was dealing with the situation, she listened to the system say with great amusement: [Nanny Cheng went directly to the young widow's house next door yesterday. The two were busy trying out new positions. Nanny Cheng, who was kicked in the door, was so scared that she paralyzed. She was beaten up while naked and kicked in the crotch. I'm afraid her man is really not going to be able to take it this time.
Nanny Cheng was straightforward and asked the man to write a divorce letter. It was useless for the man to cry and beg. The family's money and house were all earned by Nanny Cheng. The man was almost left with nothing and had to leave the house. 】
[Madame Cheng is quite a woman of courage. This decision was not an easy one, after all, it was common for men to have concubines and mistresses. 】Su Qianqian sighed.
Old Madam Qin and her daughters-in-law looked at each other: You deserve it! However, Nanny Cheng also learned her lesson and will probably not be curious about what goes on in other people's rooms anymore.
Seeing that Nanny Cheng was in a bad mood, Su Qianqian dealt with the matter and said a few more words: "If Nanny Cheng is tired, I will allow you to go back and rest for three days. There is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome by sleeping. If there is, then sleep twice."
Nanny Cheng was stunned for a moment, her eyes gradually turned red. She held back her tears, thanked Su Qianqian, and left.
There was a short interlude, and the girls continued to throw needles to pray for wisdom, and this time it was the young lady Qin You who got the first one.
[My lady, there is something wrong with this young lady...] The system's voice sounded strange at this time, and the Qin family members were all worried.
