Chapter 302 Who is stirring up the muddy water?
Moreover, it would also allow Feng to suffer the least involvement in this matter.
Xu Yan'er's face turned blue.
"Madam, I never thought of harming Aunt Dong's child!" she explained quickly.
"You didn't want to harm Aunt Dong's child, so why did you run to Aunt Dong's yard and make trouble so aggressively?" Feng asked righteously.
Xu Yan'er opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"If you have really been wronged, you can ask Madam to investigate and seek justice for you. You rushed into Aunt Dong's yard yourself. Didn't you want to take the opportunity to hurt Aunt Dong's child and find an excuse to get rid of the crime?" Feng asked again.
Xu Yan'er raised her hand and pointed at Feng, "You...you are slandering me!"
Isn’t this Mrs. Feng a rude country woman?
How can you be so talkative!
Seeing Xu Yan'er was so angry, Feng felt happy!
Aunt Dong is still the best.
It turns out that there is a way to quarrel!
She would never quarrel like this before. She couldn't help but fight. Sometimes, even if she was right, she became unreasonable and was called a savage!
"Prince, you must believe me. I really don't want to harm Aunt Dong's child!" Xu Yan'er could only turn her gaze to the prince.
"Why can't you wait for Madam to come back and deal with it?" Xiao Yan'an asked back.
Xu Yan'er immediately became obedient and stood there crying in grievance.
Just at this moment, Qingluo walked in from outside.
"Madam, we have found the woman who started gossiping."
"Did she admit it?"
"admit."
"Did Feng gossip about Aunt Xu?"
"According to what those maids said, Feng Shi did not make a sound."
Ji Chuhe looked towards Liuying with a sharp, scrutinizing gaze.
"Madam, I really didn't think too much at the time. I just wanted to vent my anger for Auntie!" Liu Ying immediately explained, and then kowtowed heavily, "Madam, I know I was wrong and shouldn't have acted on impulse. I am willing to be punished!"
Ji Chuhe retracted his gaze and instructed Qingluo, "Give the woman who first spread the gossip thirty strokes of the cane and then sell her off. Also, sell off all those who spread gossip about Aunt Xu."
The result of this treatment can be said to be very serious.
However, it is not over yet.
"When you beat that woman, have all the servants in the mansion watch! From now on, you just need to work diligently. If you spread gossip about your master again, I will pluck out your tongue and sell it!"
"Yes." Qingluo immediately went down to execute it.
Xu Yan'er was also frightened. She didn't expect Ji Chuhe to get so angry this time.
Next, it’s time for Ji Chuhe to deal with her, right?
"Aunt Xu, Feng was indeed disrespectful to you, but there were reasons for it. How do you think I should punish her?" Ji Chuhe suddenly asked Xu Yan'er.
Xu Yan'er was filled with surprise.
Why did Ji Chuhe ask for her opinion?
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "It's all up to Madam."
"Although she disrespects you, she is also doing this to protect the prince's child. If she apologizes to you, can you accept it?" Ji Chuhe asked.
"Yes." Xu Yan'er suppressed her anger and nodded.
So what if she can't accept it?
As long as she keeps biting Feng, Feng will bite her back and try to harm the prince's child.
In the end, she still got nothing good!
Feng didn't expect that the matter could be resolved so easily, and she immediately stepped forward to apologize.
"Mrs. Xu, I'm sorry. But I'm kindly reminding you that if you have any problems in the future, you must go to Madam to solve them. If you rush into Mrs. Dong's yard again without caring about anything, I will have to chase you away with a broom. I've already made it clear in advance that I won't apologize next time!"
Xu Yan'er was almost angry to death!
What kind of apology is this!
Ji Chuhe's eyes fell on Liuying, "Liuying, you are loyal to your master, your intention is good, you deserve a reward."
Liu Ying was shocked.
Xu Yan'er also quickly looked at Ji Chuhe.
Did she hear it correctly?
Everyone in the room looked surprised.
"Aunt Xu, Liuying is yours. You decide for yourself what reward you want to give her. I won't make the decision for you." Ji Chuhe turned the topic to Xu Yan'er.
Xu Yan'er was confused.
It seems that she should pay out of her own pocket to reward Liuying!
Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Yan'er gritted her teeth, took out her purse, and took out a piece of silver from it.
This was the smallest piece of money in her purse. If she hadn't received her monthly salary, she would never have had so much silver in her purse!
Is Ji Chuhe admiring Liuying?
This is a new way to deal with her!
Liu Ying took the silver and immediately thanked Xu Yan'er, "Thank you very much, Auntie, for the reward."
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Liuying, although you have made great contributions in protecting the master, you have taken the initiative to provoke trouble and will be punished accordingly." Ji Chuhe's voice sounded again.
Liu Ying's face turned cold.
"Madam, we can't sell Liuying!" Xu Yan'er said immediately.
She finally got such a loyal maid, how could she let Ji Chuhe sell her out! She must be protected!
"Mianzhu, you deliberately provoked trouble in the mansion, caused a quarrel, and a fight. How should you be punished?"
"Give him ten severe beatings with the boards, expel him from the mansion if he's in a living contract, and sell him if he's in a dead contract." Mianzhu responded immediately.
"Sell, sell, sell at every turn! Madam, your rules are stricter than those of Huaiyang Palace! How many have been sold since the establishment of the palace? The new ones have to be trained again! This time, please show some leniency and keep Liuying!" Xu Yan'er pleaded sincerely on behalf of Liuying.
"Please, Madam. I know I was wrong. I am willing to accept ten strokes of the cane. Please don't sell me out. I will never make such a mistake again!"
"Since Aunt Xu has asked for mercy, I will forgive you this time. If you do it again next time, your crime will be more severe!" Ji Chuhe said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, ma'am." Liu Ying thanked her immediately.
Mianzhu immediately waved his hand, and two servants came in from outside and dragged Liuying down to receive punishment.
"Aunt Xu." Ji Chuhe called out.
Xu Yan'er's heart couldn't help but tremble.
"The person who spread the gossip has also been found out. It has nothing to do with Aunt Dong. You ignored Aunt Dong's pregnancy and broke into her yard and had a fierce argument with her. Do you know that you are wrong?"
"I know I was wrong." Xu Yan'er didn't dare to be stubborn anymore.
"Fortunately, nothing happened to the baby in her belly. If anything had happened, do you know what would have happened to you today?"
Xu Yan'er didn't know and couldn't guess.
"I'll have someone beat you to death with sticks!"
Xu Yan'er's body trembled uncontrollably.
She didn't doubt the truthfulness of Ji Chuhe's words at all.
If something really happened to Dong Ling's child, Ji Chuhe would beat her to death, and the prince would probably not care about her.
A sense of sadness rose in her heart. She didn't know why, but she felt so pitiful.
The tears fell uncontrollably again, and this time, it was silent crying.
