No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

When the Fourth Master received the report from the Sticking Rod Office saying that the Concubine was killing people in the main courtyard, his eyebrows raised.

Chacha?

Killing everyone?

Is it so majestic?

A few days ago, he knew that Fu Jin wanted to ask people to resume paying respects, and he wanted to persuade Fu Jin to give up.

But when they got to the main courtyard, they had another quarrel and left. Her armpits were swollen and painful with anger, but she still couldn't give up the idea.

The Fourth Master felt that he and Cha Cha had done their best. Isn't it better for them to stay out of each other's way and not interfere with each other?

But Fu Jin is in poor health but has a big heart. If you take good care of her, she can live another twenty years.

If I continue to do this to you every day, you will die.

Today he wanted to go to the main courtyard with Cha Cha, but Cha Cha said no and got up early and went there by herself.

I didn't expect it to be called so soon?

The Fourth Master stood up, threw the book in his hand onto the table, and walked towards the main courtyard with his long legs.

.

In the main courtyard, Lin Mingyan sat quietly, which was inconsistent with the legendary image of "killing everyone".

Two little maids were kneeling in the middle of the room, trembling so much that they were almost crawling on the ground.

Geng sat next to her, and Zhuqing stood behind her, looking proud and confident, like a victorious rooster.

Lin Mingyan didn't touch the two maids at all, because she knew they were also following orders.

The reason I brought him here at this time was to see what kind of medicine the lady was selling in her gourd.

If you really want to challenge her, then do it!

After a while, Zhang, Liu and Wu also arrived. When they saw this scene, they hurriedly greeted her and sat aside like quails.

Zhang is now content with having a son. She and her son have enough food and drink, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the backyard.

Wu didn't know what Fu Jin was going to do, but she had to support Hongyan now, and it was impossible for her to be a pawn that could be pushed out at any time. She could only protect herself.

Liu was frightened by the last incident. After her confinement period was over, she didn't dare to step outside and stayed in Libaiyuan every day to eat and drink.

Fortunately, the Fourth Master is not short of money now, and the maids in charge of the mansion are also good at managing things, and they have never deducted her food.

She felt that her life was very good now, but coming out to pay her respects to the Lady today actually scared her.

Now seeing this Shura-like scene, I wish I could be like a turtle and retract my neck into my shell.

But no matter how hard you try to hide, you can't, because the people kneeling below are crying.

Lin Mingyan didn't say a word, neither cursed nor hit anyone, but she made everyone else present feel completely oppressed.

A maid came out from inside, stood straight and bowed, saying, "Oh, how did these two little ones offend the concubine? I'd like to trouble you to go over the concubine and discipline them."

"Hiss~~" Someone took a breath of cold air.

This means she is overstepping her bounds.

Lin Mingyan slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and threw it on the table: "It's hot~"

"Why don't you go and change a cup for the concubine?" Nanny Wu gave a glare, and someone took the tea away and replaced it with a new one.

Lin Mingyan did not move. It was too cheap for her, a master, to argue with the maid in the main courtyard.

If a young maid like Dujuan argued with the nanny, she would not be in any good situation.

So Lin Mingyan had already prepared for this and brought along the person given by Concubine De - Little Nanny Gao.

Little Aunt Gao is Aunt Gao's adopted daughter. She is in her early thirties, has a neat bun and a gentle expression.

She spoke softly, pointing at the little maid, and said, "The Concubine has been in confinement for a long time, and the servants in the main courtyard have become much lazier."

"Can't we rely on the doorman, the tea maker, and the manager?"

"The concubine is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes. She saw it but couldn't just ignore it, so she had no choice but to let them wait for their punishment."

"Madam Gao, you're joking. The little maids are naughty, and it's only right that the concubine punishes them to kneel," Madam Wu said calmly.

Grandma Gao smiled and said, "It's not the concubine who disciplined them. The two little ones knew they were wrong and knelt down consciously to reflect on themselves, right?"

Geng chimed in perfectly, "That's right. Concubine Fujin didn't say a word the moment she entered the room. The two maids knelt down on their own, which probably means they really knew they were wrong."

"Madam, please don't punish me too harshly. A maid this old is bound to be naughty."

Geng was only thirteen years old, and her face still looked childish. When she talked about the mischief of the two maids, who were fourteen or fifteen years old, she could actually describe them in detail.

Seeing that she had no way to put the label of "usurpation" on Nianhulu's head, Nanny Wu raised her hand and slapped the round-faced maid.

He pointedly cursed: "It's all because Fu Jin spoiled you too much. You all don't know what's good for you."

"If you dare to be so disrespectful and disobey your superiors again, I will peel off your skin!"

These words seemed to be scolding the two little maids, but every word was directed at Lin Mingyan and others.

She is here today just to establish the authority of the concubine!

Everyone was shocked: Oh no, they said that the concubine neglected the wife, which was a rebellion?

Lin Mingyan stretched out her hands and clapped: "Pa pa pa~~"

He also added a compliment: "Mammy taught you a good lesson~"

Then he asked Grandma Gao, "Grandma Gao, the rules in our house are very strict, right?"

"Look, Ma'am, if a little maid makes a mistake, she will be slapped in the face."

People live with dignity, even slaves need dignity. People at that time considered a slap in the face to be a very severe punishment.

When the servants make mistakes, they would rather be beaten with a stick than be slapped in the face.

The round-faced little maid who was beaten by Nanny Wu had half of her face swollen and looked ashamed and angry.

Grandma Gao couldn't help but frown and said, "Concubine, this isn't the way the rules are set."

"Madame Wu is right. The concubine is too indulgent towards her servants!"

The look he gave to Nanny Wu's hand seemed to be saying that Nanny Wu had been spoiled too much.

Nanny Wu's eyebrows shot up, and she was extremely angry: "Nanny Gao, please be careful with your words. It is not for you to judge the wife!"

"Oh? But you said that?" Lin Mingyan threw the teacup to the ground. "How come your Madam Wu said that, but Madam Gao, given by the Empress, can't say it?"

"Even the current emperor is willing to open up the channels for public opinion and allow censors to speak out boldly."

"What? Madam Wu wants to have the final say?"

Isn't it just talking nonsense?

Who can be afraid of whom?

In her previous life, she had never lost an argument with anyone. Even the old lady at the village entrance couldn't beat her in an argument.

"You...you..." Nanny Wu had never seen anything like this before.

Of course, she was always successful in the Nara Mansion, because the only power in the backyard of the mansion was in the hands of the wife.

But wanting to be the boss in the backyard of the Fourth Master's mansion is just a pipe dream!

Grandma Gao even stepped forward and said, "A servant is so polite to the mistress, Concubine, what a good family tradition!"

Everyone knew that Madam Wu and Madam Rong were sent from the Nara Mansion, and now their entire family was scolded and imprisoned.
