Chapter 279
~ PUNISH THE SERVANTS ~
Meng Yu left in a fit of anger . Meng Yanran, who was behind him, lowered her head, but the palm imprint on her face was too apparent for others that it was hard not to notice .
The servants lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe . They quickly recalled if they had offended Madam Su Qing and Young Madam Biao for some reason . After discovering that there was no such thing, they heaved a sigh of relief .
Mu Yunyao moved her finger lightly . The strength that had been used in that slap just now was not small, and even her palm still faintly ached now .
Su Wenyuan’s expression was cold . The lively atmosphere caused by Mu Yunyao’s reward just now had disappeared without a trace . “Everyone disperse . ”
“Wait a minute . ” The moment Mu Yunyao opened her mouth, everyone felt their scalp go numb . They all turned their heads to look at her, especially the Eldest Madam . Her gaze was even sharper than a sharp blade .
“Yunyao, what else do you want?” Wasn’t beating Meng Yanran enough to humiliate her and the Meng family’s face? What else do you want to do?
Mu Yunyao walked up and slightly bent down in a bow: “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, everyone who was present, heard what Miss Meng said just now . She said that she deliberately framed me that day, and it had nothing to do with me, which means I am innocent . Aunt should understand this logic, right?”
The Eldest Madam gritted her teeth and forced herself to keep the expression on her face, “Yes . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled in satisfaction . “Since it’s like this, then shouldn’t some debts be settled already?”
How to settle debts? What does she want to rectify?
The Eldest Madam looked at Mu Yunyao in bewilderment, her eyes carrying a strong sense of admonishment . “Yunyao, who do you want to count with?”
“Naturally . . . The servants who hurt me? Whom does the Eldest Aunt think I will count with?” Mu Yunyao looked at her with a smile .
The Eldest Madam was so furious, but she couldn’t get angry . When Mu Yunyao came out of the Palace, the Meng family came to apologize . There must be some reasons they didn’t know . Before they made it clear, they couldn’t casually make a move on Mu Yunyao . “Fine . Someone, bring up the two old maids who beat up Young Miss Biao that day!”
Soon, the old maids, who were carrying the court stick that day, were forced to kneel on the ground . “Mercy Old Madam, mercy Eldest Madam…”
The Old Madam, who had been silent all this time, rubbed the Buddhist beads in her hand . “I’ve just received the imperial edict from the Emperor . It’s so noisy, and it really doesn’t seem right . Stuffed their mouths shut . ”
“Old Madam … Woo woo …” The two old maids’ faces looked frightened . They wanted to say something, but they were stopped . Their mouths could only groan as they continuously kowtowed in the direction of the Old Madam .
The Eldest Madam’s cold gaze looked at Mu Yunyao, “Yunyao, they’re here . How do you plan on dealing with them?”
“As servants, they have always obeyed their master’s orders . On that day, they also followed Miss Meng’s orders to beat me . Logically speaking, even if they are not punished, it would still be reasonable . ”
The fear in the eyes of the two old maids had just faded a little when Mu Yunyao continued .
“But as a servant, they could not forget their roots . They also could not forget which family’s residence this was, which master’s orders should they obey? This place is the Su family, and you dared to lay your hands on me after hearing what Miss Meng had said . If someone else puts down their words in the future, would you dare to deal with the honorable Lord of the residence?”
After hearing this, the Eldest Madam opens her mouth to stop Mu Yunyao . What she says is too harsh, and she secretly insinuated that the Meng family dared to command the servants to do whatever they wanted in the Su family . Although she knew that it was due to her deliberately conniving that day, in the ears of the Old Madam and the Master, she was afraid that they would assume too much about it .
“Yunyao, they are just rough and tumble servants who don’t have the chance to see their master, so they are timid and don’t know what to do after being threatened by others . However, you did remind me that even the most inferior servants should teach them the rules well in the future . Eldest Aunt also has responsibilities . ”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly shook her head . “What are you talking about, Eldest Aunt? You usually manage the affairs of the residence, and you must be extremely busy . How can you worry about everything? Si Qin, Si Qi, you two bring the court stick here, each of you takes one of these two maids and plank them ten times, then drive them out of the residence . Grandmother, Eldest Aunt, are you okay with me doing this?”
The Old Madam nodded her head, “Ten plank punishments are too easy for them . But you are kind-hearted, that’s not bad . Just do as you say . ”
Mu Yunyao smiled as she looked at Si Qin and Si Qi, who stood behind Su Qing . The two of them hurriedly nodded at Mu Yunyao before finding someone to take the court stick, detained the two ruthless women on the ground, and beat them directly .
The Eldest Madam and the Old Madam calmly withdrew their gazes . Si Qin and Si Qi were slender, and even if they used all of their strength, the ten planks would not hurt people too badly . Furthermore, seeing how light they raised the stick, it’s only strange if something happens .
After the two frightened old maids on the ground got two blows, they felt that their strength was not heavy . They couldn’t help but relax a little, and their heart began to develop a bit of hatred towards Mu Yunyao . If it wasn’t for Meng Yanran’s disturbance back then, the two of them might have definitely crippled Mu Yunyao . Did she still have her turn to show off her power today?
The ten planks were quickly finished . Si Qin and Si Qi stood behind Su Qing .
The Old Madam raised a hand and held her forehead . “Throw these two people out of the house . ”
Looking at the Old Madam’s expression, the Eldest Madam hurriedly went forward to support her arm . “Mother, are you suffering from a headache again? Your daughter-in-law will send someone to get the post, asking the imperial physician to come over and take a look . ”
“Nothing, merely rest for two days, and I will be fine . You can disperse now . ”
“Grandmother … “Mu Yunyao was not prepared to give up . The Meng family and the Eldest Madam’s face have already been beaten, and the Old Madam should have paid some price too . ” Previously, Doctor Lin, who helped Miss Meng frame me, was serving in front of you . I am really concerned . The woman has a deep mind . She was able to help Miss Meng to frame me before, then who knows what she might use in the future?”
The Old Madam Sun turned her head, “Lin Yurou’s grandfather is old friends with your maternal grandfather . Although her identity is that of a medical girl and a servant of the Su family, you can’t treat her like an ordinary servant . I had punished her, but if you still felt angry in your heart, you can punish her again . However, our Su family has always been kind to our servants, so we cannot spread our bad reputation . ”
“Grandmother, you’re overthinking about the matters . I’m just reminding you . Since you’ve already punished Doctor Lin, this matter is naturally over . The Emperor’s gift still needs to be worshipped, so Mother and I will be busy . ”
“Yes . ”
The people in the front yard gradually dispersed, but the atmosphere in the Su family’s residence changed . In the evening, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao went to the kitchen to ask for food . The kitchen maids and others in the kitchen treated them with exceptional enthusiasm, not daring to delay in the slightest . The situation is very different from the previous two days .
After returning, Jin Qiao sighed in her heart, “Miss, those servants really know how to flatter someone . Today, you’ve just established your strength, and their attitudes have turned upside down . ”
Mu Yunyao carefully rubbed the ointment on her face in the bronze mirror, “This time is only a small place . I still have more in the future!”
