That night, Su Yan slept deeply.
Two days later, when Su Yan woke up, she saw that Liu Xiang and He Xiang were not waiting in the room, so she put on her clothes and went out of the back room, just in time to hear Liu Xiang and He Xiang talking outside the door.
Su Yan had no intention of eavesdropping, but Liu Xiang's voice was really loud: "I heard from people in Da Furen's courtyard that our fifth girl looks very similar to Aunt Chen. I remember my mother said that Aunt Chen was still alive. The time when I was the most favored, the uncle almost held Aunt Chen in his palm, and even the eldest lady had to avoid her edge."
He Xiang curled her lips, and her slender eyes showed mockery: "What's the use of being favored again? It's just a concubine's room, and if it dies, it will die, but I heard from my mother that it was less than half a year after Aunt Chen left. In the first month, the uncle carried the servant girl next to the eldest lady to Tong Fang, and by the way, that Tong Fang is now Aunt Ling."
"You can't say that, girl..."
Hearing the two maids talking about her biological mother here without any scruples, Su Yan's face turned cold.
It seems that the old saying is really true, three days without a roof tile! Su Yan originally thought about cleaning up the people in her yard after she got a firm foothold, but now it seems that this matter seems to be imminent. If she doesn't move anymore, I'm afraid that the people in this yard won't recognize who is the master!
Su Yan went out with a sullen face, and scolded: "Is this how Da Furen taught you how to behave? You didn't wait by the master's side early in the morning, and you still talked about the master behind your back?"
Liu Xiang was startled, her head buzzed, and her clothes were soaked in cold sweat. Immediately her face turned pale and she knelt down in front of Su Yan and kowtowed repeatedly: "My servant knows my mistake, this servant should not talk about my master, please punish me." This was the first time she saw Su Yan's cold face, and she couldn't stop regretting in her heart Why did I follow He Xiang out to talk nonsense.
But He Xiang took a look at Su Yan before knelt down beside Liu Xiang slowly, her head was drooped without saying a word, her dissatisfaction was revealed from the puckered corners of her mouth.
Su Yan glanced across Liu Xiang's face, looked at the trembling He Xiang, and thought of all the things that happened in her previous life. She probably made up her mind, and said, "Since you know your mistake, I will punish you for twenty slaps! Do it yourself!" !"
Liu Xiang hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, raised her hand firmly and slapped herself in the face, the crisp sound could tell that she had used her strength.
He Xiang raised her head unconvinced and said to Su Yan: "The maidservant is also a person close to Madam, even if she makes a mistake, Madam should punish her! Why should the fifth girl punish the maidservant?" Her mother is always accompanied by the Madam Fang, among the servants, can be regarded as a respectable person. She is already very dissatisfied with being assigned to Su Yan by the Da Furen, this bastard who came out of nowhere dares to punish her
Hearing this, Su Yan chuckled lightly, and looked at He Xiang with a smile in her always bright eyes.
It was obviously the hot June, but He Xiang felt the temperature around her drop suddenly, and couldn't help shivering.
With such an effort, all the people serving in the yard were attracted by the noisy sound, and Zhong Ning also ran out of her room and walked quickly to Su Yan's side.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, Su Yan lowered her head and scolded He Xiang: "Why should I punish you? Just because I am the master! You are a slave!"
"No matter who your old lady is, no matter which courtyard you served in before, since you are in my courtyard, you are mine! I will reward or punish you, and no one will allow anyone to criticize you!"
While talking, Su Yan looked around at the servants who bowed their heads in the yard and said: "Zhong Ning! Tie her up! Forty slaps! Who dares to say the same for forty slaps!" She just wanted to take He Xiang, the girl with the deepest background, knocks the mountain to shake the tiger, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys.
Su Yan looked around at the servants standing in the courtyard again, her eyes were serious: "If there are any of you who don't want to serve in my courtyard, you should leave as soon as possible, so as to avoid accidents in the future and lose face in front of the big guys!"
Su Yan was born with a soft and pleasant voice. Originally, such a voice was not intimidating, but Su Yan's words just made these people feel that they dare not resist.
When Su Yan was serious, she changed from her usual gentle and quiet appearance, and her powerful words and actions shocked all the servants in the yard.
They couldn't figure it out. In the past, the fifth girl was the most peaceful and gentle. Why is it that she looks like a different person today
When He Xiang heard this, she got up and wanted to run, but Zhong Ning grabbed her back, tied her firmly to the pillar, and slapped He Xiang's face with one arm.
With a "snap", half of He Xiang's face swelled immediately, and she stared at Zhong Ning in disbelief with anger all over her face: "What are you? How dare you hit me?"
"Stare at me again and I'll goug your eyes!" Zhong Ning slapped again where He Xiang was just slapped. She disliked this lowly maid from the very beginning, if Su Yan hadn't stopped her, she would have given this lowly maid a serious look.
If it was in Medicine Valley, a girl like He Xiang would be fed to wolves, now that Su Yan has finally made a move, she can finally vent her anger.
With just ten slaps, He Xiang no longer had the arrogance just now, and begged Su Yan crying. Su Yan didn't soften her heart at all, she just watched Zhong Ning slap He Xiang forty times with a cold face.
After the beating, Zhong Ning's palms were already swollen, not to mention He Xiang's face.
After watching Lotus Fragrance being punished, Su Yan's eyes lightly swept over Liu Xiang.
"The servant girl knows, the servant girl accepts the punishment." Liu Xiang knelt, her cheeks were already red and swollen from the slap just now.
Su Yan hummed, watched Liu Xiang finish twenty slaps, and said calmly: "Come in, I have something to tell you."
After entering the room, Su Yan took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then she looked at Liu Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly: "I don't want the person serving me to be a picky eater, I remember that your old lady is also an old man of the Su family Yes, it’s all about duty. If you still want to serve by my side, I’ll take you and my wife to my courtyard to serve. If you want to leave, I’ll pack up and go back to your house in a while, and I promise Don't make it difficult for anyone in the future."
After finishing speaking, Su Yan lowered her head to drink tea, but she kept paying attention to Liu Xiang's expression from the corner of her eye.
Liu Xiang's parents are honest people, although they served in Da Furen's courtyard, they never did anything bad. Liu Xiang is actually a dutiful girl at heart, although Liu Xiang was misled by He Xiang in her previous life, but in the end she was tortured so badly that Liu Xiang desperately returned the letter to the Su Mansion and the old lady.
This family is worthwhile.
Liu Xiang almost didn't think much about it, she just kowtowed and said: "My servant will definitely serve the girl well in the future, I just hope that the girl will forgive me this time, and I will never dare to go beyond the point."
Su Yan's tactic of killing chickens and monkeys has achieved remarkable results. Not to mention that the servants in the courtyard have a lot of rules, even the weeds that have been growing wantonly in the corners were immediately removed.
It's just that Su Yan's prestige is not for nothing, after teaching Liu Xiang, Su Yan went to the old lady's courtyard.
