Chapter 450: Teaching the Slave a Lesson
Xu Zhichun's outburst finally frightened these people. Everyone was trembling with fear and dared not breathe.
I can’t say that I have completely subdued them from now on, but at least at this moment, they don’t dare to act like trouble again.
Whether their old habits will return in the future depends on how Xu Zhichun behaves. If someone sees their loopholes or they do something wrong and suffer losses, these people will definitely retaliate brutally.
But if there is no opportunity to find fault and cause trouble, then they will naturally be completely quiet.
Xu Zhichun glanced at everyone and asked, "Did you hear everything?"
“Yes, yes.”
"I heard it clearly."
"Get up and take out the people who need to be taken out."
"yes."
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and gave a wink, then hurriedly took Qinghe and the others away.
Qing He couldn't help but look at Madam Qi in fear and pity. She moved her lips but didn't dare to say anything else.
Xu Zhichun looked at Madam Feng and said, "Madam, please go and do your work. If you need my help, please come back."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Feng was tactful and quickly left with her people.
Xu Zhichun took Nanny Qin Qing, Muxiang, and Chunfen and turned back into the house. "Xiaoyuan and Xiaozheng, go do your own things. Dongxiang and Chunnan, come in too."
Madam Qi tugged at the corner of her clothes anxiously, hesitated for a while, and then hurriedly followed him in.
She forced a smile but before she could say anything, Xu Zhichun yelled, "Did I ask you to come in? Who allowed you to act on your own? Get out!"
Madam Qi froze in disbelief.
Xu Zhichun laughed out loud. How dare she say "I can't believe it"? How confident she is!
Why?
"go out!"
Madam Qi's face immediately revealed an expression of humiliation. She suppressed her anger and fought for justice for herself: "I don't know what I have done wrong to make Madam so angry. Although my honest advice may be unpleasant to the ear, it is also for Madam's own good. Madam, aren't you afraid that this will chill my heart?"
Just now, in front of so many servants, Madam Qi was the lady in charge of this courtyard, so Xu Zhichun couldn't do anything to her, otherwise the servants in the mansion would talk about her being mean and ungrateful as a master - so she used the lady in charge to show her power.
Perhaps this is why Madam Qi is so bold at this moment.
There are no outsiders here at the moment, so it would be strange if Xu Zhichun was polite.
"Don't you always talk about rules? I don't know the rules, so it's understandable. Don't you understand them either? Let me ask you, is it insubordination, disrespect for the master, and arguing with the master? Is this the rule you've learned?"
Madam Qi blushed. "How about this? It's the same. This servant is doing this for Madam's own good—ah!"
Xu Zhichun didn't slap her in the face, but he kicked her to the ground and sneered, "You're doing this for my own good? Who are you? You say you're doing this for my own good and I should be grateful and obey you?"
Madam Qi was ashamed, angry, shocked and indignant, and her whole body was trembling: "Madam, you, you..."
"Know your place. This mansion doesn't need you. How capable do you have to act so arrogantly in front of me? What's the matter? Do you think I don't have the ability to deal with you, or that you are so important that I dare not touch you? Then tell me, who is your backer?"
Madam Qi opened her eyes wide, gasped for breath, and trembled even more violently.
I am so ashamed and angry that I want to die.
It's so embarrassing.
Madam, you are tearing off her face and stepping on it.
Xu Zhichun looked at him with contempt. "Get out! If even a single word of what happened just now gets out of your mouth and I get angry, even the gods can't protect you. Remember? You don't have to look at me. There are only a few of us in this room right now. If anything gets out, I will seriously trace the source and won't wrongly accuse anyone."
"Listen carefully, everyone! Don't spread this."
"Yes, ma'am."
Muxiang's face was full of admiration, while Dongxiang and Chunnan's faces turned slightly pale.
Madam Qi no longer dared to be arrogant, and she swallowed her anger and walked out with her head down.
Xu Zhichun asked Chunfen to go out as well and sit at the door to guard.
Madam Qi slowed down her pace after leaving the house. It seemed she was planning to sneak back and eavesdrop, but it was obvious that she didn't dare to eavesdrop at this moment.
Xu Zhichun sat down and said to Nanny Qin Qing, "I don't know what evil things this Madam Qi is up to. I don't think she's a good person, and I will definitely not allow her to be in charge of my courtyard. Nanny, you will have to take care of her from now on. I will send her away after a while. In the meantime, please keep a close eye on her and don't let her enter my room."
Nanny Qin Qing: "Yes, Madam, don't worry."
When Xu Zhichun said this, he did not avoid Dongxiang and Chunnan at all, and the two of them felt a little uneasy.
Xu Zhichun glanced at the two of them and smiled. "Since I've kept you here, it means I trust you. I hope you won't let me down. In the future, you will have your share of benefits and will be indispensable."
Dongxiang quickly knelt down and said, "Yes, yes, this servant will be loyal to you, Madam, and will never have second thoughts."
Seeing her kneel down, Chunnan also knelt down quickly, "I am the same."
"Get up."
"Mrs. Xie"
Nanny Qin Qing smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If it weren't for that cunning servant trying to bully her, our Madam would have been the most kind-hearted. Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have given her the title of Madam Shanci, and the Marquis wouldn't have loved her so much. In the future, you'll slowly understand."
Regardless of whether Dongxiang and Chunnan believed what Nanny Qin Qing said or not, they felt a little relieved and nodded in agreement.
Xu Zhichun said, "I have something to ask you. Tell me what you know, but don't talk nonsense if you don't know. I have a vague feeling that Madam Qi has ill intentions towards me, but I can't have a grudge against her, can I? I can't possibly have offended her either. Do you know why?"
Nanny Qin Qing was stunned. How could this happen? She hadn't noticed it at all.
However, since Madam said so, it must be true.
Dongxiang and Chunnan were also surprised. They obviously didn't expect Xu Zhichun to be so perceptive. They looked at each other, and the expressions they revealed subconsciously said it all: Xu Zhichun's guess was correct.
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we are family. Go ahead and talk."
"yes"
Dongxiang knelt down and said hesitantly, "Madam, you don't know, but Madam Qi has a niece named Qi Xiu. She's quite pretty and gentle, and she's said to be able to read and write, do math, and look at account books. Madam Qi originally wanted to have Qi Xiu follow the Marquis as a concubine to help Madam with the household, but the Marquis ignored her several times when she met him. Later, when she showed up again, he disliked her for getting in the way and scolded her a few times, so Madam Qi gave up the idea. Perhaps, perhaps that's why..."
Xu Zhichun: “.”
She said, there really is a reason!
Mu Xiang couldn't help but spit out angrily, "How shameless! The Marquis despises her niece, yet she dares to take her anger out on the Madam? And yet she dares to be sarcastic and bully the Madam. It's true that people are from the same family."
