I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

After hearing what Cui Shuyan said, the maidservant couldn't even stand up straight with laughter: "Young Madam is really ignorant, don't you know that the indentures of all the servants in the mansion are kept by the housekeeper? This is the Xie Mansion, everything is done according to the rules. Do you really think that this is a small family like your Cui Mansion?"

Cui Shuyan smiled and said, "Just wait and see."

After saying that, Cui Shuyan looked at Shi Liu with a smile.

Pomegranate understood and went out immediately.

Indeed, according to the rules of the aristocratic family mansion, the indenture contract is kept by the housekeeper.

Naturally, the steward only has the power of storage, not the power of decision.

Whether the servants in this mansion are sold out is decided by the master.

However, now that Madam Xie has guessed that she wants to replace the people in this courtyard, how can she feel at ease leaving the servants' indentures with the housekeeper?

As for why she let Shi Liu go instead of others, she naturally had her considerations.

After what happened today, she could see that Shi Liu had undergone rigorous training, so it would be no problem for her to get a few indentures from the women in the inner house.

Furthermore, even if the pomegranate cannot be taken by wits, it is not a problem to rob it by force.

Therefore, Cui Shuyan was not worried.

But the maids watching didn’t think so.

Especially the maid who was sweeping the floor. Seeing Cui Shuyan's calmness, she couldn't help but sneer, "Young Madam, you don't think you have really won the battle, do you? Your people are destined not to get their indentures back."

"Really?" Cui Shuyan smiled mischievously and said nothing else.

It must be said that these maids are indeed quite rampant.

Judging from their attitudes, Madam Xie really didn't take her seriously.

Otherwise, these maids would not have been instructed by Madam Xie to speak so rudely.

"Of course. If you want to take our indentures, the young lady is really not qualified."

At this time, the people standing behind Cui Shuyan could no longer stand, especially Aunt Nian.

She came forward and said, "Young Madam, do you want me to slap her a few times?"

"No need." After saying that, Cui Shuyan turned around and saw that except for Aunt Nian, Chunyu, Xiahe, Qiuxi and Dongxue all looked indignant. She knew that she had made the right decision by buying these maids.

Unexpectedly, after seeing this scene, the maid who was sweeping the floor thought that Cui Shuyan was afraid of them, and raised her chin a little higher: "Madam, it's windy here. In my opinion, you should go back and have a rest. Otherwise, the strong wind here will bite your tongue."

After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

The four seasons people behind Cui Shuyan were so angry that their eyes widened, wishing they could kill the maid sweeping the floor with their eyes.

Cui Shuyan was not in a hurry.

Just then, Pomegranate came back.

She handed a stack of indentures to Cui Shuyan and reported, "Miss, the indentures of these people are all here."

Cui Shuyan took it with a smile, then looked at the maid sweeping the floor: "Your name is Liu Meng, you are from Longxi, and you are eighteen years old this year, right?"

After hearing what Cui Shuyan said, the sweeping maid Liu Meng's face turned pale. She stretched her neck to look at the indenture contract in Cui Shuyan's hand, and found that the indenture contract was indeed hers, and her face turned pale immediately.

She quickly dropped the broom in her hand and knelt down in front of Cui Shuyan: "Madam, I was so outspoken that I offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."

At this moment, Liu Meng kept a very low profile.

After Liu Meng knelt down, the others also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Cui Shuyan remained calm and said casually, "Who poisoned my herbal tea when I was away today?"

Liu Meng immediately pointed at a maid with a pointed chin and said, "It's her! Madam, it was the Madam who ordered her to poison you!"

The pointed-chinned maid immediately shouted angrily, "Liu Meng, you are betraying your master!"

Liu Meng glared at her: "What do you know? I am a man of insight!"

The pointed-chinned maid sneered and ignored her.

Seeing this, Cui Shuyan smiled faintly and ordered Shi Liu: "Go guard the door and don't let anyone in, no matter who comes. Also, find someone to tell Zhou Chengdong to get someone to come over."

Pomegranate responded and immediately went to guard outside the door.

Find a human trafficker to sell these people out.

Cui Shuyan looked at the maids in the courtyard who were still in shock and smiled faintly: "I believe you have heard that the traffickers will be here soon. You are the eldest lady's people, and you can't hide this from others. However, before the traffickers come, if you can give me some information that interests me, I can return the indenture to you. With your own indenture, you can be free from slavery."

Once a person becomes a slave, even the children they give birth to will be slaves.

But if you were to escape from slavery and become a free citizen, that would be a different story.

To a certain extent, this is a world of difference.

After all, if they were slaves, if they were beaten to death by their masters, it would be fine, and the government would not pursue the matter.

But if a good person is beaten to death, the government will intervene and, if necessary, pay with a life for a life.

Therefore, few people dare to harm the people of good status.

After Cui Shuyan threw out the bait, the maids who originally obeyed Madam Xie were in an uproar.

If they were sold again, their fate would be uncertain.

In the Xie Mansion, they were maids, who were well fed and well clothed, and received monthly wages.

However, if she were sold, she might end up in a brothel.

That place is the real place where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind.

This unknown fate is terrifying enough.

Soon, someone took the lead and began to tell some secret news.

Although they were slaves, they knew a lot.

Especially regarding the owner's privacy.

Normally they wouldn't dare to say it, but now they have no scruples.

In just a short while, Cui Shuyan learned a lot of interesting things, for example, Madam Xie was stingy and loved to withhold the monthly wages of her servants.

For example, Madam Xie was very strict with Xie Liang. Once, Xie Liang looked at a maid and the maid was beaten to death by Madam Xie.

For example, Lin Xinrou sneaked into Tingfengyuan at night to find Xie Shaohang, but was thrown out by Xie Shaohang.

……

All I hear is this news.

Cui Shuyan lost interest for a moment.

She thought she could get some important news, but all she heard was insignificant stuff.

At this moment, seeing that Cui Shuyan had no interest in listening, Liu Meng suddenly came forward and lowered her voice and said, "Madam, I know a piece of news about the master."

"tell me the story."

"Madam, if I tell you, can you return the contract of sale to me?"

Cui Shuyan glanced at her and asked casually, "Liu Meng, are you bargaining with me?"

Liu Meng was startled, and immediately knelt down again: "I dare not reply to the young lady's words."

"It's good that you don't dare. Understand your current situation."

Liu Meng nodded repeatedly.

Only at this moment did she have to admire Cui Shuyan's methods.

This young lady, who originally seemed to be weak-willed and could not even fart even if beaten with three sticks, was actually a powerful person.

But now, the young lady is the knife and they are the meat on the chopping board, and they have no right to bargain with her at all.

After thinking it over, Liu Meng crawled forward a few steps on her knees and said in a low voice, "Madam, the eldest master has a mistress outside."
