At this time, I only looked at a person walking in from outside the hospital. I took a closer look and saw that it was Shao Ziqing's mother, Mrs. Jiang, with Rushuang following behind her.

Ms. Jiang is a woman who is nearly forty years old. She still looks more charming under the slight application of powder. She is wearing a rich and embroidered dark purple silk skirt, covered with a layer of gold gauze. There is a string of exquisite and exquisite necklaces hanging around her neck, and she is wearing a flying cloud bun.

An exquisite hairpin with engraved gold and emerald beads is inserted diagonally above, making the whole person look jewel-like and quite noble.

She walked into the room slowly, looked at the mess in front of her, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Zuiyao stepped forward and replied politely: "My daughter-in-law is disciplining a servant, which makes her mother laugh."

As if seeing a life-saving straw, Grandma Li shouted for help: "Madam, please save this slave, the young lady wants to beat this slave to death!"

As the mistress of the family, Mrs. Jiang was in charge of the huge Shao family. She had never seen anything like this before. When she sat down calmly, she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Feng and Shao Heng. She looked down upon them and ignored them. She asked Jiang Zuiyao: "

I heard Rushuang say something happened to you, so I came over to take a look."

Everything was in Jiang Zuiyao's plan. At this time, Mrs. Feng stepped forward and interjected: "I asked Rushuang to report it to you. I saw that Aunt Li was too domineering, so I asked you to make the decision."

Ms. Jiang gave Ms. Feng a cold look and said with disgust in her heart: "I am talking to the young lady, do you have the right to interrupt?"

A question was enough to make Ms. Feng dare not speak again, and she even lowered her head and did not dare to look at Mr. Jiang's face.

Jiang Zuiyao signaled the person who was holding Grandma Li to let go. Grandma Li was already in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. She suddenly fell to the ground, her body was in burning pain. The pain made her shed tears of grievance, and she rolled and crawled to her knees.

At the feet of Mrs. Jiang, she cried out: "Madam, you have to make the decision for me! I have done nothing wrong, so the young lady will beat me to death."

The Jiang family doted on Shao Ziqing, so she rarely interfered with the affairs of the East Courtyard, letting Shao Ziqing make the decision. Even though she heard that the East Courtyard was controlled by Grandma Li, she never took any part in it.

But since he came today, Mrs. Jiang asked: "Zui Yao, why did you hit Nanny Li?"

Jiang Zuiyao's anger was still lingering, and she said arrogantly: "As the eldest young lady, am I not allowed to even punish a servant?"

Jiang's face darkened: "Mother Li is Ziqing's nanny."

With such a sentence, Grandma Li's status was suddenly raised. Grandma Li took this opportunity to add jealousy and said: "Madam, I have been in the Shao family for so many years, but I have never suffered such grievances. Please be my slave."

Make the decision!"

Jiang Zuiyao gave Nanny Li a contemptuous look and said coldly: "What's wrong with the wet nurse? The wet nurse is also a servant."

Grandma Li grabbed the hem of Jiang's skirt and cried pitifully: "Madam, listen, the young lady is so mean. She beat the slaves indiscriminately with a feather duster. Look at the beatings she gave to the slaves.

, if you had come a step later, I am afraid that this old slave would have been carried out of the Shao family sideways."

Jiang frowned slightly: "Zui Yao, there must be a reason for beating someone."

Jiang Zuiyao glanced coldly at Nanny Li, who was kneeling on the ground in tears, and said directly: "Nanny Li embezzled money from the east courtyard. Shouldn't she be beaten?"

As soon as these words came out, Nanny Li shouted almost instantly: "I have been in the Shao family for more than 20 years. I am loyal and serve you wholeheartedly. Don't spit on me with your blood!"

Jiang Zuiyao smiled coldly: "What a loyal word, let me ask you, your son got married a while ago, bought ten acres of fertile land, a house, and hired many people to take care of him. You are just a housekeeper, where did you come from?

Rich?"

Grandma Li dared to hide it secretly, so she had already prepared a back-up plan. Her reply was extremely fast: "Although I am a servant, I am also the nanny that the young master values. During the holidays, the young master gives me a lot of rewards.

Over the past twenty years, I have saved enough money to buy these things."

"Then let me ask you again, if there is nothing fishy, ​​why don't you let me see the account books?"

"My servant has a clear conscience, and of course I'm not afraid of the young lady seeing it. It's just that I know that the young lady has no good intentions. How could I fall into your trap?"

Aunt Li was really good at confusing right and wrong. Jiang Zuiyao's eyes turned cold. She wanted to see how Aunt Li would explain herself later!

Nanny Li realized that Jiang Zuiyao was determined to kill her. If she didn't bring down this woman today, she would definitely not be able to escape. She felt her heart skip a beat and spoke again: "Madam, don't you just want to

Do you want to take charge of the east courtyard? But the eldest young master refuses, so you come to murder this slave?"

Jiang Zuiyao didn't look flustered at all, but instead smiled calmly: "Since the eldest young master does not allow me to take charge of the east courtyard, according to his temper, even if I get rid of you, the eldest young master will still find Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, and Zhang

If grandma comes to take charge of the east courtyard, not only will I not have the power to take charge of the east courtyard, but I will also make the eldest young master dislike me, so why should I bother to do this?"

Aunt Li thought that what she had just said would leave Jiang Zuiyao speechless, but Jiang Zuiyao did not answer her question directly, but bypassed the key point and said such words, but such words were more effective than a hundred sentences.

Jiang Zuiyao then faced Jiang and said solemnly: "Mother, you can check whether I framed Nanny Li or not."

Mrs. Jiang was not someone who was easily fooled. She glanced at Xue Qing, the personal maid beside her. Xue Qing walked up to her and asked, "Madam, please give me your instructions."

Jiang beckoned and Xue Qing came over. Jiang whispered a few words in Xue Qing's ear. Xue Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I will go right now."

No one knows what Jiang and Xue Qing said, let alone where Xue Qing went.

Nanny Li, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a little guilty. She knew that Ms. Jiang was not someone who was easy to fool, so she felt uneasy. She tightened the hem of Ms. Jiang's skirt: "Madam, you can't listen to the eldest young lady's slanderous words! What is she?

Everyone knows that such a bad woman, even the eldest young master has rejected her, how could she..."

"Shut up!" Ms. Jiang interrupted coldly, pulled the hem of her skirt out of Nanny Li's hand, and said seriously: "I will handle this matter impartially, Nanny Li doesn't have to worry."

These words made it impossible for others to find anything wrong, but at the moment when the words fell, Jiang's eyes fell deeply on the top of Grandma Li's head, and her dark eyes seemed to be hinting at something.

For as long as Shao Ziqing can remember, Grandma Li has been with her for more than ten years. Until Shao Ziqing was fifteen years old, the Shao family asked Grandma Li to leave the house for retirement and bought her a place.

Not to mention the property in the house, an additional thirty taels were given.

You know, although this amount of money is nothing to the Shao family, Grandma Li is just a servant. To get such a reward, I am afraid that she is the only one who can get such a reward, including all the wealthy embroidery households in Kyoto.

But Grandma Li was too greedy, and even such a generous reward could not satisfy her.

Although Mammy Li was a bit poor in character, she loved Shao Ziqing very much. She had served Shao Ziqing as if she were half a son for so many years, and she had done her best. Otherwise, how could the Shao family give her that kind of care?

Generous rewards.

People's hearts are made of flesh, and the relationship that has lasted for more than ten years is no longer as simple as master and servant. After Grandma Li cried and wiped her tears, Shao Ziqing begged her mother to keep her in the Shao family until Shao Ziqing

When Ziqing came to the east courtyard, Grandma Li naturally became the one in charge.

But having said that, Shao Ziqing's mother saw that her son valued a wet nurse so much, where would she put her?
