Shen Qingwu stood up straight and looked at the five people kneeling on the ground, huddled together in tension and fear.
Three men and two women.
The conversation was quite lively, and fortunately, from listening to their conversation, I could tell that some of them were quite clear-headed.
"Why don't you say anything anymore, huh?" Shen Qingwu frowned and lowered his voice.
She hadn't come just now and was about to leave, but she heard whispers here, so she walked around and came over and listened for a while.
Several people knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to say a word.
"Otherwise, I will be vindictive and beat you all up too?" Shen Qingwu spoke again in a deep voice, with undisguised oppression in her tone.
How could the servants dare to respond to this?
"Follow me." Shen Qingwu glanced at Shen Qinglei who was still lying on the corridor in the distance, cursed him for being useless, and turned back to his own yard.
After hearing this, several people looked at each other in surprise. After a few breaths, they confirmed that they had heard correctly, and they all stood up and rushed to follow.
Even if they get beaten, they can’t let the young lady wait for them to kneel down!
…
Shen Qingwu lived in Wutong Garden, a separate courtyard on the east side of the general's mansion.
Five years ago, the emperor rewarded the construction of a mansion, a general's mansion with thirteen courtyards of various sizes.
Chen Lan received the imperial order and brought his family to the capital.
The eldest son Shen Qingfeng asked someone to look at the feng shui. Apart from the main courtyard, he gave the courtyard with the best feng shui on the east side to Shen Qingwu.
He and his twin brother Shen Qinghe lived on the left and right of Shen Qingwu respectively.
Over the years, no matter how much Zhao Qiuyi coveted this yard, she didn't dare to drive Shen Qingwu out and let others live in. All she could do was to rob and do bad things to him on a daily basis.
Today, Wutong Garden, which once had the best feng shui among the generals, is the simplest, and the servants in the garden are the most disrespectful.
Shen Qingwu walked around the screen wall. There was only one old woman and two maids in the courtyard. They were sitting under the paulownia tree, playing cards and drinking tea, looking very comfortable.
As usual, these three people didn't take Shen Qingwu seriously at all. They just glanced at her and continued to play their own games.
But before they could play the cards in their hands, they suddenly stopped moving.
After looking at each other, they turned their heads in disbelief to look at the person who had walked to the table and blocked the light.
The cards in your hand slip.
"Ghost!" the old woman screamed and slipped off the stone bench.
The maid blinked and asked Shen Qingwu in front of her, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Shen Qingwu tilted his head, curled his lips into a smile, and slapped the maid in the face, causing the maid to fall off the stool.
"Does it hurt?" Shen Qingwu leaned closer to her.
The maid was stunned by the beating and nodded subconsciously. It hurt and there was bleeding at the corner of her mouth.
"You, you are not dead?" The other maid was dumbfounded, a little confused about the situation.
"Are you hoping for my death?" Shen Qingwu suddenly turned around and looked at him coldly.
In the past, these maids ordered her to wash clothes and serve tea. They were really lawless.
Shen Qingwu took two steps forward, looked at the person still sitting on the stone bench, and lightly lifted his foot, causing the stone bench to break into pieces.
The maid fell down on the gravel and shook her head in confusion.
"After playing cards for so long, Madam Li must be thirsty, right?" Shen Qingwu picked up the teapot beside him and turned to walk towards the fallen old madam.
Under the man's horrified gaze, she easily pinched Li Ma's mouth, and the steaming tea slowly fell.
Nanny Li subconsciously tried to struggle, but she couldn't move, and her tongue was instantly burned and blisters formed.
The teapot could no longer pour out a drop of tea, so Shen Qingwu threw the teapot away and let the man go.
"Every evil person will be punished by every evil person. I have climbed out of hell and will become the biggest evil person in the world in the future." Shen Qingwu laughed.
The old woman always bullied her for being stupid and made her drink hot water. She, a grown-up girl, foolishly poured tea for them, but they thought it was too hot and deliberately knocked the teapot over on her.
Now she has only done one tenth of it, is that unbearable?
"You fool, this could cost someone's life!" The maid who was slapped first came back to her senses, looked at the trembling Li Ma Ma and suddenly pointed at Shen Qingwu and shouted.
Shen Qingwu stood up straight without even looking at her, and slapped the person who had just stood up, causing her to spin around on the spot, with her left foot twisted and her right foot slipping, and she fell to the ground.
The little maid looked at Shen Qingwu in disbelief.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Shen Qingwu looked at the maid who was still sitting on the gravel, bent down, pinched her chin, leaned close to her and smiled gently.
The little maidservant looked at the person in front of her who only looked the same as the former young lady and had no other relationship with her. She did not dare to speak.
"Will someone die?" Shen Qingwu pinched her chin and looked at the teapot on the ground, and asked gently.
The little maid's heart was beating so fast that it was suffocating. She seemed to be frightened and didn't react at all.
"Mute, can't speak?" Shen Qingwu frowned in annoyance, and the hand that was pinching her chin fell on her neck.
The little maid was forced to look up by the force, and her breathing became rapid.
The five people who followed Shen Qingwu in were all stunned. What was the young lady doing? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?
However, such a big thing happened in the front yard, but Wutongyuan has not yet received the news. These three people are indeed too stupid.
"Miss, the tea is cold. No one will die." A maid in her thirties among the five people suddenly had an idea. She took out a clean handkerchief from her arms and walked forward to Shen Qingwulin's teapot.
She asked in a servile and caring manner, "Miss, your hands are not cold, are they?"
The old woman, who was sitting on the ground and felt like her throat was smoking, stared at the man who was lying with his eyes wide open.
Shen Qingwu suddenly laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to touch the handkerchief. "My hands got a little dirty just now."
"Miss, from now on I will do the dirty and tiring work. Just give your orders." A servant about thirty years old also quickly stepped forward.
The three people behind reacted immediately, fearing that they were a step slow, and stepped forward to show their loyalty.
Another fifteen-year-old maid, relying on her female status, took out her clean handkerchief and spread it in front of Shen Qingwu, "Miss, I may not be good at speaking, but I am quick and flexible with my hands."
Shen Qingwu looked at these tactful people with satisfaction and put his other hand on the handkerchief.
Feeling the little maid kneading her wrists through the handkerchief, she squinted her eyes in comfort. This was the treatment a young lady should have.
"Can you all read?" Shen Qingwu asked a few people.
Some nodded and some shook their heads.
"I'll give you half a day to write down all the relationships around you and everything about yourself."
"Those who can read, please write for those who can't. If it's consistent with what I investigated, you will stay with me in the future. If there is any discrepancy..." Shen Qingwu glanced at several people and paused deliberately.
