He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.
Chapter 105: Buying and Selling Servants, Qingzhu is Pregnant
After a long silence, Mu Xueliu slowly stood up, looked at Shen Qing's calm eyes, and broke the silence first, "Shen Qing, I don't want to be your enemy."
After saying that, she walked straight out of the door.
The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yining, the most valued granddaughter of the imperial merchant Yun family, what a noble status... Mu Xueliu knew that if Shen Qing could be used by her, then she would be able to compete with Jiang Li in the Prince's Mansion, and Shen Qing's position in the Marquis of Yangling would be more stable. It should have been a win-win situation, but in the end, it was counterproductive.
Now that the window paper has been broken, Mu Xueliu does not expect Shen Qing to stand on her side, but only hopes that Shen Qing will not stand on the opposite side of her.
Looking at Mu Xueliu's straight back, Shen Qing's eyes flashed with admiration. Such a smart woman is no less than the famous Shengjing Shuangshu. If the Mu family is not holding her back, she will definitely shine. However, with the addition of the Mu family, it is unknown what the result will be.
Not long after Mu Xueliu left, Mu Jin sent a message saying that the wife of Yangling Marquis had sent someone to invite the matchmaker over, and there were nearly a hundred servants behind her. Now they were all gathered in the yard, and it was a huge crowd.
Shen Qing smiled, "Mother is really hardworking. I have to go and see this excitement."
...
When Shen Qing walked to the backyard, she saw the wife of Yangling Marquis picking the kitchen maids. Lin Xuefu stood beside her and made some suggestions from time to time. The wife of Yangling Marquis accepted them all.
Seeing the close appearance of the two who were obviously not mother and daughter but better than mother and daughter, Shen Qing was a little curious. If one day Mu Xueliu and Lin Xuefu stood on the opposite side, which one would the wife of Yangling Marquis help?
Ignoring the displeasure on the two people's faces, Shen Qing smiled and said, "What is mother doing?"
The wife of Yangling Marquis was upset because of Mu Xueliu's matter. Just when Lin Xuefu coaxed her a little, she saw Shen Qing, whom she didn't want to see the most. Her face immediately sank, "Of course, it's to buy and sell servants. What are you doing here?"
Ignoring the inquiry of the wife of Yangling Marquis, Shen Qing looked puzzled, "Many servants in the mansion are old people who have been in the mansion for many years. Mother sold them casually like this. Aren't you afraid of hurting people's hearts?"
The wife of Yangling Marquis was full of disdain, "They are just a group of slaves. I buy them when I want to buy them, and I sell them when I want to sell them. Who dares to stop me?"
Shen Qing didn't say anything else, but walked to the stone bench beside and sat down, quietly watching the wife of Yangling Marquis and Lin Xuefu tossing around.
Shen Qing was so easygoing that Lady Yangling was a little scared. She quickly looked at Lin Xuefu and whispered, "Xuefu, Shen Qing is not normal today. Is she going to do something weird again?"
Lady Yangling clearly remembered that the last time Shen Qing was so easy to talk to was when they were poisoned collectively.
Lin Xuefu glanced at Shen Qing and said firmly, "No, she just had a fight a few days ago. She shouldn't do anything else in the short term. What's more, didn't my aunt say that the concubine had just warned her? No matter how arrogant she is, she dare not openly oppose the concubine."
Although Lin Xuefu didn't like Mu Xueliu, she had to admit that Mu Xueliu's name was indeed useful in many cases.
For example, to deal with Shen Qing.
Hearing this, Lady Yangling felt relieved and continued to select servants with Lin Xuefu.
Of the nearly 100 servants, Lady Yangling finally kept one-third and asked the matchmaker to bring another batch over in the afternoon.
The matchmaker laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter, and she kept praising the Yangling Marquis' generosity. The Yangling Marquis's face immediately became flattered, and she gave the matchmaker two hundred taels of silver without saying a word.
The matchmaker took it, put it in her arms, and hurriedly left happily with the remaining servants.
Because the problem was in the kitchen, the first thing the Yangling Marquis prepared to tidy up was the kitchen.
She asked Zhang Mama to go to the kitchen to call all the original servants, and at the same time ordered the servants she had just selected to stand in a row, as if she was going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Looking at the original servants in the kitchen, the Yangling Marquis's face instantly sank. There were a total of twenty-two of them, all of whom were ungrateful, so the Yangling Marquis didn't plan to keep any of them.
"You, go back to your rooms and pack your things now, and leave the mansion in the afternoon."
The Lady of Yangling Marquis made the final decision, and everyone's faces turned pale instantly. After they reacted, someone immediately pleaded: "Madam, I have worked in the mansion for fifteen years. I have no merits but I have worked hard. Madam, you can't treat me like this!"
"Madam, I have been in the Yangling Marquis Mansion since I was a child, and I am loyal to the Mu family. Madam, you can't be so cold!"
"Madam,..."
Listening to more and more voices, the Lady of Yangling Marquis felt that her head hurt again, and said sternly: "Giving you a few hours to pack your things is the greatest kindness I can show you. If you want to blame someone, blame some of you for being disloyal. You clearly took the money of the Mu family, but worked for others."
The Lady of Yangling Marquis spent so much effort, not only to replace the servants, but also to shock Shen Qing, and the Lady of Yangling Marquis was also ready to take the opportunity to knock the new servants.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
Seeing the crowd gradually quiet down, Madam Yanglinghou showed a hint of pride on her face. She would let Shen Qing know that she was the real master of this family.
Turning her head to look at Shen Qing's position, Madam Yanglinghou thought she would see Shen Qing's face full of anger, but unexpectedly, the latter's eyebrows were gentle, and when he met her gaze, the corners of his mouth even raised a faint smile, as if he was looking at an extremely ridiculous clown.
The smile on Mrs. Yanglinghou's face froze for a moment, and she felt like a breath was stuck in her throat and she couldn't let it out.
Shen Qing couldn't do anything, so Mrs. Yanglinghou vented all her anger on everyone in front of her, "What are you doing standing still? Go pack your things quickly and get out of the Yanglinghou Mansion this afternoon!"
Everyone's face was full of sadness, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion. Although their hearts were full of unwillingness, they could only leave in despair.
No matter how long they stay in Yanglinghou Mansion, they are just slaves. As long as the master is not happy, they can be sold at will.
Mother Liu glanced in the direction of Hongyantang, with a bit of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but she still followed the crowd towards the courtyard where the servants lived.
It doesn't matter if she is bought or sold, as long as Qingzhu can be well, she will feel at ease.
"etc!"
At this moment, a familiar female voice sounded from behind everyone, and Liu's mother subconsciously turned her head, just in time to meet Qingzhu's anxious gaze.
Mother Liu's heart sank when she saw Qingzhu kneeling in front of Madam Yanglinghou, pleading, "Madam, my mother is an old man in the Hou Mansion. I have been serving the young master for more than six years since I was ten years old. Madam, please remember the old love and keep your mother as a slave."
Seeing Qingzhu, Lin Xuefu had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mu Ziqian's voice was heard not far away: "Mother, Qingzhu is mine, and Mother Liu has been serving her in the house all her life. For my sake, just keep her. "
Lin Xuefu pursed her lips slightly and secretly tugged on Madam Yanglinghou's sleeve.
Qingzhu has been so popular with Mu Ziqian recently that Lin Xuefu is not ready to keep her anymore.
Mrs. Yanglinghou understood and immediately refused to say anything: "No! Since Mother Liu is the person in the kitchen, she must treat everyone equally."
Mu Ziqian frowned, "Mother, you are just a slave, why do you care so much."
Seeing this, Lin Xuefu walked up to Mu Ziqian, stood on tiptoes and whispered something in his ear.
Mu Ziqian nodded, leaned on his shoulder and stopped talking.
When Mu Ziqian defected before the battle, Qingzhu looked at Lin Xuefu with hatred in her eyes. She knew that Lin Xuefu's gentleness and kindness on the surface were all fake!
Seeing Liu's mother walking away again, Qingzhu became anxious and dropped a bombshell, "I'm pregnant!"
