After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Ever since Qiuyan came into contact with the brothers of the Zong family, she no longer behaved like a maidservant of the marquis's mansion.

She had an impatient temper to begin with, and after hearing some of the foul language, she became a bit rude.

Chunlan was unhappy after hearing this, "Qiuyan, look at you, are you still... the same as before? How can you be so rude and have no manners at all?"

Qiuyan refused: "How am I rude? Can you just call me Miss?"

Chunlan was not one to be trifled with. "What did I say? Isn't that what you think?"

Qiuyan also thought so in her heart. After all, the eldest lady was the kind of person who wouldn't even step on an ant.

But even so, she couldn't let Chunlan speak ill of the eldest lady behind her back.

Qiuyan couldn't win the argument, so she had to take action.

Dongmei and the others were listening to the eldest lady's words attentively at first, but when they turned around, they saw the two people behind them fighting.

Dongmei: "Hey hey hey...what are you doing?"

Several maids were in a mess, and Dali and others could only watch and not dare to try to persuade them.

The others noticed them.

Shen Jinyao heard the sound and looked over, shouting, "Stop!"

Her voice was cold but filled with anger, which was very frightening.

The maids quickly let go.

Shen Jinyao came up to them.

"Tell me, why are you fighting?"

The others also looked over. Chunlan's hair was already a mess.

There was a very obvious red mark on Qiuyan's face.

The other maids were not much better.

Shen Jinyao shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Do you think you're on a picnic?"

Qiuyan shed tears of grievance and whispered, "No, Miss..."

Lan Xing covered her head and quickly lowered it. She was very afraid that Qiu Yan would tell others that the eldest lady was cruel.

She was shaking with fear.

Shen Jinyao asked, "Qiuyan?"

Qiuyan raised her head and was about to speak when Dongmei pulled her sleeve.

She shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Lan Xing glanced at Qiu Yan secretly, but she didn't expect that she didn't say anything.

Shen Jinyao's voice came from above her head.

"Lan Xing, what do you say?"

Lan Xing was still shaking. She said, "Nothing."

Shen Jinyao looked at the maids who lowered their heads, as well as Dali and the other three.

"Okay, since you guys have nothing to do, just fight. I think you guys just have too much free time."

"I've always felt so sorry for you. Starting tomorrow, follow Zhiyong and the others in practicing martial arts. You can't stop until they do."

"Also, you must not do any less work than you are supposed to do."

"Do you guys recognize it?"

Chunlan originally wanted to resist, after all, it was Qiuyan and Lanxing's fault.

It had nothing to do with the three of them, but she glanced at Dongmei and Xiazhu, and they both didn't say anything.

She had no choice but to give up.

"The five of you are a team. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment together. I don't care what the two of them are arguing about. Infighting is wrong."

"If you want to argue, wait until we get to Quzhou and do it."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get to Quzhou smoothly."

Shen Jinyao's words were convincing, and Dongmei apologized for the two sisters.

Mrs. Shen tried to smooth things over: "I guess they are too young. They have been out for so many days and have suffered a lot. Let them vent their anger today."

The eldest lady: "Yes, yes."

Nanny Li smiled and said, "They all seem easy to talk to, but I didn't expect them to be so energetic."

Le Yao joked, "This is the only way to defeat the bad guys."

"Hahaha."

This time, even Qiuyan and Lanxing laughed embarrassedly.

As for what the two girls were arguing about, anyone who heard it would naturally know the answer.

Just like the reason Qiuyan didn't want to say it, they were just afraid that such words would chill the eldest lady's feelings.

Shen Jinyao didn't want to waste any more time on this matter. Seeing that several people shook hands and made peace, she changed the subject.

She said, "As for our supplies, they are all placed in my carriage. I will take good care of them."

Everyone nodded.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere just now was a bit solemn. After all, this was the first time that a disagreement arose between the Shen family and Shen Jinyao.

It was also the first time that the Shen family had a fight.

The brothers of the Zong family wanted to ease the atmosphere.

Zongshi said, "Come on, everyone, have you seen what we've harvested today?"

The others asked, "Yes, what did you do all day in the mountains?"

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zongshi pushed Meng Da out.

"Let Brother Meng tell everyone."

Meng Da is not a wooden man, he knows that he is trying to change the subject.

He smiled and said, "Today is our first day on the mountain, and we have gained a lot."

"Those of us who practiced archery have all made some small progress."

Meng Er received Meng Da's gaze and continued, "We hunted and got a lot of good things."

Le Yao held up the rabbit tied to the side and said, "Look, we caught two rabbits and three pheasants."

Mrs. Shen laughed heartily, "Wow, that's quite a lot indeed."

The eldest lady also laughed. "There was movement in that bag just now. I was wondering what it was. This pheasant is really fat."

Shen Jinyao didn't expect that they would have such a great harvest on the first day of going up the mountain.

She said, "We'll eat one pheasant and one rabbit. Would it be better to pickle the rest or make bacon?"

"I bought a lot of salt."

At this point, Meng Si jumped out and said, "Stew the pheasant and roast the rabbit. Knead the rabbit skin and dry it. The rest can be made into bacon so that it can be stored for later use."

The eldest lady looked at Meng Si and couldn't help but praise him, "Oh, I didn't expect Meng Si to know so much."

It's obvious from these words that he cooks often.

Meng Da laughed and said, "My fourth brother cooks all the meals at home, so he knows a thing or two."

Mrs. Shen also smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's try Meng Si's cooking today."

Meng Si said embarrassedly, "Okay, please bear with me if it doesn't taste good."

Meng Si is not sure about his martial arts, but he is very confident about his cooking skills.

But it was always the wife who cooked at the Shen family, and she didn’t dare to do it because she thought about the food shortage.

But he still has experience in handling wild game.

He believed that the wife of the Shen family would definitely not handle it as well as he did.

Meng Si continued, "We picked a lot of wild vegetables and fruits, some of which can be kept for a long time."

"The winter plum sisters picked a lot. If it wasn't dark, they would have wanted to pick more."

Anyone smart enough would know that Meng Si was praising the maids.

The farce just now was exposed like this.

Shen Jinyao looked at Zhixin and saw a sack next to him.

Zhixin saw it and said to Jinyao proudly, "Sister, look how many herbs I have collected."

Shen Jinyao smiled and nodded.

After a while, everyone became busy.

But no one expected that what was said today would come true.

Shen Jinyao sat alone, emptying her mind.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
