Duke Jing's younger sister

A hint of surprise flashed across Mother Wang's eyes, which was accurately captured by Shen Li.

She sneered in her heart. Such a big thing happened in Wanhua Tower. How could Mother Wang, as the boss, not notice it at all?

Even when Wanhua Tower was closed down, she was still dressed up beautifully, without any sign of anxiety on her face. Instead, she was able to stand here and deal with things with her painstaking efforts.

Or maybe the person behind this made some promise to her.

Either this person is the owner of Wanhua Tower, otherwise why would he go to Wanhua Tower when there are other places for him to go?

Because only in Wanhua Tower can he act without restraint. It doesn't matter even if he is discovered. He is not afraid that anyone in Wanhua Tower will betray him.

Because the servants who were sold to Wanhua Tower had signed a death contract and their lives and property were in the hands of others, they naturally knew how to control their mouths.

Shen Li didn't expect that Mother Wang would reveal the name of the mastermind behind the incident. If she pushed too hard, it might backfire.

She then smiled, a genuine smile.

"Actually, I don't want to know who your real boss is. My family just lost a slave. It's just a worthless life, and it's not a big deal."

Yao Ziqian, who was standing nearby, suddenly turned pale. Even though he knew that what he said was not credible, he still couldn't help but feel sad for his sister.

Shen Li walked a few steps closer to Mother Wang and said softly,

"The bad thing is that the maidservant and my Shen family had signed a white contract, and she was not a slave. Now the maidservant's parents have come to our house to demand justice, and they can't send her away with money. They just want justice for their daughter, otherwise they will go to Jingzhao Yinfu to beat the drum to complain."

"You also know how that servant died. It is really hard to talk about. If it goes to court, it will be known to everyone and it will ruin the reputation of my Shen family."

Shen Li smiled faintly, and looked at Mother Wang with a slightly meaningful look.

"Besides, this incident happened in your Wanhua Tower. If it really goes to court, your Wanhua Tower will not be able to open for business until the case is cleared up. By then, the reputation of my Shen family will be ruined. Do you still want to continue to operate your Wanhua Tower?"

Mother Wang gradually understood what was going on and asked in a low voice, "What does the girl mean?"

Shen Li smiled, "My meaning is very simple. Pick two tight-lipped, insignificant people and push them out. I'll give them justice, and the matter will be settled. Your Wanhua Tower can also reopen. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"this..."

Mother Wang was still a little hesitant, and Shen Li continued to strike while the iron was hot, "What are you worried about, mother? Do you think that I, the great Miss Shen, would seek revenge for a mere slave?"

Mother Wang knew that what the girl said was indeed somewhat credible.

She was just a slave. Even if she was tortured to death, her masters would mostly send her away with silver.

Even in her Wanhua Tower, there were often slaves being carried out. Among the various noble families in Jiangdu City, which one did not beat a few slaves to death every year?

Thinking of this, she felt a little shaken in her heart.

Even though the Dong family is wealthy, they cannot compare with the Shen family of Duke Jingguo. If it is true as this girl said, and Duke Jingguo is angered, it would only take a word for him to close the Wanhua Tower.

When that time comes, I'm afraid even the boss will be helpless.

No matter how you think about it, throwing away two lives is the most cost-effective.

She vaguely remembered a few of the people that night, including a few poor folks with unknown backgrounds.

Push them out and give them a good beating. For the sake of their family's lives, they will certainly not dare to reveal the name of their boss.

Seeing her frown gradually relax, Shen Li knew that she was wavering in her heart, and immediately ordered Xingping to take the banknotes on the table.

She slowly sat back in her chair, smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt, and raised her hand to pour herself a cup of tea.

"Hey, I came here today to find Mother Wang, hoping to find a way to get the best of both worlds, but I never thought that Mother Wang would be so ungrateful. In this case, I don't need to talk to you any more, just wait and see!"

Appeal to their emotions, move them with reason, lure them with benefits, and threaten them with force.

Shen Li didn't believe that she could not resist.

As long as she could spit out one or two names, she could grab this thread and entice everyone little by little, without leaving anyone behind.

No matter who is behind them, even if we don’t kill them, we must teach them a painful lesson.

After walking out of the restaurant, Shen Li felt inexplicably depressed and walked slowly along the lake.

The green willows swayed in the breeze and the sun was hot, but she felt a cool chill on her back.

She was afraid, but not really afraid.

She has always known that this is a dark world, and she has been able to maintain a kind heart because she has always been well protected.

A true noble lady in Jiangdu City, even if she dislikes her or looks down on her, will always be more lenient towards her for the sake of the Shen family's face.

Therefore, she always thought that she didn't need to become a scheming and vicious person.

But now that Ziyuan is in trouble, if she doesn't step forward, who in the Shen family will be willing to stand up for Ziyuan?

After all, she was just a servant of the Shen family. Who would make enemies for her?

She had even thought about how she would deal with the three people the madam mentioned after catching them.

She seemed to be able to see them rolling on the ground in agony, and just thinking about that scene made her feel happy in her heart.

But then, she was extremely surprised by her own vicious thoughts.

Why did she become like this?

She felt that she seemed to be slowly changing.

It makes me feel strange and scary...

"Girl, you don't look very well, why don't we go back home and rest for a while."

Xingping sighed. The girl's complexion had not been good since this morning, and now exposed to the sunlight, she looked even paler, even her lips were bloodless.
