"No need for that. The people of the Pei family will be taught by our Pei family. If anyone of the Pei family betrays us, we will take care of them." Xia Mianwan's voice was not loud, but the coldness was enough to penetrate the hearts of the two maids.

The two maids kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shiver.

Qin Qinqing had no choice but to leave. She just hoped that the two maids would be more tactful and not expose her.

There was still something Xia Mianwan couldn't guess, so she shook her head secretly and then looked at the two maids.

"Madame Zhang, Madame Gao, you are the elders of the mansion, right?" Xia Mianwan said.

"I...I am indeed an old lady in the mansion." At this point, Nanny Zhang even straightened her back. Yes, she and Nanny Gao were both old ladies in the mansion. What was the difference between them and the wet nurse who took care of the young lady? The young lady was still new, and she was just fooling around. How could she compare to the deep affection she had with her young lady?

Xia Mianwan found it quite funny to see that Aunt Zhang straightened her back.

"Hey, wasn't your back bent just now? How come it suddenly stood up? Do you think you can fool me because you have a deep relationship with your elder sister?" Xia Mianwan asked indifferently.

Nanny Zhang never thought that Xia Mianwan had exposed her secrets, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Young Madam, you are overthinking. Why would I think so?"

Xia Mianwan was too lazy to pay attention to her and was helped by Ruzhu to sit down. "Ruzhu, help me get a storybook."

"Yes!"

Ruzhu took out a notebook that Xia Mianwan had been writing recently and presented it to Xia Mianwan.

Xia Mianwan picked up the pen and began to think, ignoring the two maids completely.

Nanny Zhang and Nanny Gao looked at each other, but they had no idea what Xia Mianwan was trying to say, so they had to continue kneeling.

However, if the two of them relaxed a little, Rumeng would come closer to them and look at them, so Nanny Zhang and Nanny Gao did not dare to relax either.

Xia Mianwan was concentrating on writing the storybook. This time, the name of the storybook was "Drunk Spring". Anyway, he owed the script to Mr. Hua Si, so he might as well coordinate it with the new wine from the winery.

This took half an hour. Xia Mianwan put down his pen and rubbed his sore neck.

Seeing this, Ruzhu hurried forward to help Xia Mianwan press the button.

When Nanny Zhang and Nanny Gao saw Xia Mianwan put down her pen, they both perked up.

"Young Madam, please have mercy on me." Grandma Gao kowtowed three times.

Xia Mianwan looked at Grandma Gao and said in surprise, "Grandma Gao, this is strange. What have you done wrong? Why are you begging me? Although I am in charge of the Pei Mansion, I am not unreasonable. Grandma, please be careful with your words."

Xia Mianwan's words choked Grandma Gao again. Grandma Gao didn't know how to step down for a moment, so she had to lower her head again.

Aunt Zhang finally got smart for once and understood what Xia Mianwan meant. She kowtowed three times and said, "Madam, it's our fault. We shouldn't have taken the cousin's money and chosen inappropriate clothes for the girl."

Hearing this, Xia Mianwan put down the pen he had just picked up.

"You are a very understanding person."

"Young Madam, it's all our fault. We shouldn't have done this. We will never do this again. Please have mercy on us this time." Grandma Gao seemed to understand and hurriedly followed Grandma Zhang to say.

Xia Mianwan sighed and said, "Madame Zhang, Madame Gao, it's not that I'm cruel, but there are no rules without them. I'll take the blame for your mistakes this time, but what if this happens outside and affects the two girls? This is just carelessness and greed on your part, but it's treason on the part of the master. How can I let you off so easily?"

"Young Madam, we will never dare to do that again!"

"Please spare my life, Madam!"

After all, they were the madams of Pei Yanqi and Pei Yanyue, so Xia Mianwan naturally couldn't just kick them out, but killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was also necessary, so Xia Mianwan said: "For the sake of your girls, I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't recognize who your master is, I'll sell you all out there."

The two maids were relieved to see Xia Mianwan give in. They were about to thank her when Xia Mianwan said, "But your mistakes today are real. I can't let you off lightly. Otherwise, there will be no rules. You guys go down and each of you will receive twenty strokes of the cane!"

Twenty boards?

Both Nanny Zhang and Nanny Gao were panicked. After these twenty strokes of the board, wouldn't he have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month?

"Young Madam, spare my life!"

"Young Madam, spare my life!"

"If you beg for mercy again, you will receive forty strokes of the cane!"

Nanny Zhang and Nanny Gao didn't dare to plead anymore, so they had to stand up and go out to accept the punishment.

……

Leaning on the plum garden.

Qin Qinqing panicked when she learned that Xia Mianwan had beaten Nanny Zhang and Nanny Gao.

Seeing her daughter so flustered, Mrs. Qin was a little worried that her daughter would offend Xia Mianwan again, "Ah Qing, what on earth did you do?"

"Mom, I didn't do anything."

"Why are you so panicking when I didn't do anything?" Mrs. Qin obviously didn't believe it.

Qin Qinqing said, "Mother, I just wanted to stand out a little, so I gave some money to the two maids and asked them to dress my sisters in a more plain way."

Qin Qinqing only said plain but didn't say how plain it was.

Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but blame her daughter, "Ah Qing, don't be too outrageous when you go to the banquet tomorrow."

Qin Qinqing didn't understand why her mother always said this, "Mom, I just want to marry someone better. Look, after Xia Mianwan married my cousin, won't she be able to take charge of the Pei family? I'm much better than Xia Mianwan, so I should behave myself."

"Aqing, there will never be another cousin like yours in the world. Don't say such things again." Mrs. Qin said helplessly.

Qin Qinqing couldn't listen, "Mother, please don't block my future. Xia Mianwan deserves it, and so do I."

"Aqing, do you know how much dowry your cousin-in-law brought?" Mrs. Qin couldn't help but say when she saw that her daughter was stubborn.

Qin Qinqing knew that Xia Mianwan’s dowry was quite a lot, but she didn’t know the exact amount.

Madam Qin said, "You think your cousin's wife is just a divorced woman, but the dowry she brought in was as much as 72 pieces of money, not including the land and shops. Not to mention her property in Yanzhou, she also has a building in Hengyang Street."

Qin Qinqing couldn't believe that Xia Mianwan would have such a large dowry. "Isn't the Xia family just a poor family?"

Madam Qin said unhappily, "Don't you know that 'Gu Meng' and 'Zhe Gui' are your cousin's own property?"

Qin Qinqing looked at Mrs. Qin in surprise. She really didn't know.
