My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 685 - Reorganization

Chapter 685: Reorganization

“I’m giving you all a chance to live. I’ll let off whoever steps out right now and admits their crime sincerely.” Qiao Mu shouted coldly, “Don’t wait until I ferret you out! At that time, even the Heavenly King won’t be able to save you!”
The last bellow resounded inside the courtyard, and everyone felt their chests constricting as their bodies shuddered uncontrollably.
This bunch of servants were simply idle most of the time but were still fed and clothed by her Qiao Estate. Ultimately, they even sold her out.
They were loose-lipped and told Wu Xiaosu that her Nanzhu Garden didn’t have any servants.
Wu Xiaosu was even cocksure that she would stick her nose into other people’s business and end up rescuing that woman. Thus, Wu Xiaosu had that shrew beg her in front of everyone so that she would “definitely” take her in, in consideration of her prestige.
Tsk, so delusional. You want to entrap her? Then she’ll just let these repulsive people first have a taste of their own medicine!
“Not speaking, is that right?” Seven to eight dictum talismans abruptly floated before her eyes.
Qiao Mu coldly shouted, “I’m telling you all, wait until I personally find out who sold me out! You all, will completely have no living way out.”
“Eldest Miss, spare our lives!”
“Eldest Miss, spare our lives.” The two little lasses that were hiding in the very back finally couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore and frantically scrambled to the front, bawling their eyes out as they repeatedly kowtowed.
On the side, Chang Zai was drenched in cold sweat from fright. His legs had turned as limp as noodles, and his calves kept trembling. These two insolent little lasses actually dared to beard the lion in its den!
Qiao Mu’s eyes shot out a cold glint. In her entire life, she hated betrayal the most. Even though these two little lasses’ betrayal didn’t result in any physical loss, this didn’t mean that she would easily forgive them either.
She didn’t get caught in someone else’s scheme precisely because she had a meticulous thought process and was attentive in observing people. It could be said that this was the experience she had accumulated after suffering so much in her previous life. It wasn’t because they were merciful!
These people who originally had no grudges against her completely cast aside their bottom line as human beings merely for a piddling benefit.
“Since you’re so loose-lipped, don’t speak anymore in the future. Feed them this!” Qiao Mu tossed out two medicinal pills. Two black-clothed youths immediately understood her intention and caught the pills. They stepped forward and restrained the two maidservants that were quivering in terror, forcing them to swallow the pills.
The two people became mutes on the spot, and try as they might, they couldn’t utter a word. The two’s horrified gazes fixated on Qiao Mu with a trace of unwillingness and resentment.
“You’re refusing to accept this, is that it? Then I change my mind.” Qiao Mu coldly looked at the two lasses that were glaring at her acrimoniously. “Kill them.”
The two lasses’ pupils abruptly contracted, and they opened their mouths before realizing that they couldn’t utter a sound at all. The next second, two cold gleams swept past their necks, and two patches of red spurted out.
The scene was completely silent. Every person only felt as if their hearts had been squeezed tightly by something, and they didn’t even dare take a deep breath.
“In the future, whoever dares to divulge any of my Nanzhu Garden’s trifling matters to irrelevant people will meet with this end. If you can’t keep your mouth shut, then you won’t need a mouth in the future.”
“Chunying.”
Chunying knelt on the ground with a flump and said with fear and trepidation, “Eldest Miss. This servant will definitely abide by my role and not dare be loose-lipped nor speak nonsense.”
Qiao Mu shook her head and looked at her as she said, “From now onwards, I will hand over the steward’s authority to you. Xiayun, you take Chunying’s place and wait upon my mother.”
“Starting from this month, you eight people’s monthly stipends will all double.” Qiao Mu’s words caused the eight people who had arrived first to all be taken aback.
“As for you people.” Qiao Mu gazed icily at the servants who had come late. “The airs you put on are so lofty that they’re even more arrogant than your masters’. My Qiao Estate isn’t able to provide for such people! Sell them all off.”
