Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 262 Shuntian Mansion Visits

When everyone at the scene witnessed this scene, the timid ones began to tremble involuntarily.

The man and woman were tortured like blood gourds, and their moans were so weak that they were almost inaudible.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the leader Zhou Ruijia. It was she who brought the men and women here.

It's too cruel.

But there were also people who hated Miss Deng and spit at her.

"You should have died a long time ago, little whore."

Some people, out of sympathy or some other purpose of cherishing women, stared at Zhou Rui's wife and muttered, "Zhou Rui will be in big trouble if he marries you."

Zhou Ruijia turned his head suddenly and looked at the man with knife-like eyes.

"Do you know anything?"

The man shrank his neck and dared not speak.

The air around seemed to freeze, and everyone's heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

……

"Let me ask you one more question, where is Qingwen hiding?" Zhou Ruijia lowered her head and asked Miss Deng.

"If you tell me, I can ask my wife to spare your life."

Miss Deng glanced at him and saw that although she had suffered a lot, she was still charming and graceful.

"Pooh" sounded.

"You bitch!"

Mrs. Wang on the stage looked at the people below.

No matter how noisy the people below were, she didn't care. She was just puzzled that Qingwen had not shown up for two or three days.

Is he really dead?

I also heard from Zhou Rui's wife that this cousin has no roots in this mansion.

After Qingwen was bought, she won the favor of Nanny Lai and begged her to buy her cousin in to enjoy the life.

Now that I'm dying, you just give up and don't care?

Unless you're really dead,

If he really died, Mrs. Wang would be a little disappointed.

Now that he couldn't find out who was against him, he secretly rescued Qingwen.

Then we have no choice but to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Thinking of this, she loudly ordered,

"Beat him! Beat him until he's dead!"

After giving the instructions, Mrs. Wang sat on the chair and held up the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Behind her, several maids she brought from the Wang family were staring at the people below with eager eyes.

Several strong executioners came up and pressed Qingwen's cousin and his wife to the ground.

Just use the stick.

Everyone closed their eyes unconsciously.

Just wait and listen, the "Puff! Puff" sound of someone being beaten to death.

I dare not look at the bloody scene.

……

But there was no sound of sticks, but the voice of the old woman.

"Spare his life!"

"Spare his life..."

"Finally here!" Mrs. Wang opened her eyes wide and looked carefully. It was Nanny Lai, the old fox.

is her?

Could it be that she really saved Qingwen?

This old fox is actually an ungrateful person who can never be tamed?

She stood up suddenly, "Madame Lai, what do you mean?"

"Do you think you are the master?"

Her eyes were like knives, staring straight at Nanny Lai.

"Or do you think that your servant stole something and I can't punish him?" Mrs. Wang asked sternly.

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. Are the two masters going to fight?

"Oh! You have wronged me. I don't think I am the master. My family has been servants of the Jia family for generations."

"I bought the servant, so Madam can naturally deal with it." Nanny Lai patted her thigh to express her opinion.

Only then did Mrs. Wang feel relieved. She was afraid that this old man would offend her in public.

Arguing with a servant in front of so many people lost her dignity as the lady of the house.

Mrs. Wang said calmly, "Since these two people hid the stolen goods."

"I should also deal with them as I should."

"Why did you come to stop it?"

Nanny Lai hurriedly took a few steps forward and walked up to Madam Wang, saying sincerely, "Madam! If they were my servants, of course you could do whatever you wanted with them."

"The point is that they are no longer mine."

"I sold them a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang glared and said, "You old thing, you have learned to play tricks on me."

"Do you think I can trust you?"

"You didn't tell me earlier or later. The key is that I'm going to execute you before you tell me."

"Is there any ghost here?"

The smile on Nanny Lai's face faded, "Second Madam, it's my fault for not telling you earlier."

"But we needed someone to help out in the kitchen during the New Year, so I kept him for a while longer, planning to send him to his new master's house after the New Year."

"In theory, even if I sold them, they stole things, and you insisted on beating them to death, I would not say anything. I just spent a few taels of silver."

"So I heard about it these past few days, but I didn't care. He deserved death if he made a mistake."

"But who would have thought that their new owner, who was in such a bad situation, would directly sue me."

As she spoke, Nanny Lai pointed outside the crowd.

"Look, the two people behind me are from Shuntian Prefecture. They said that I withheld the servants and framed them."

"Now I have so much pain that I can't express it."

"I have to hand in a living person to prove that I am not framing you."

"Madam! Now that their stolen goods have been found, let's put them in Shuntian Prefecture Jail!"

"Letting them die in prison won't hurt our family's fortune, right?"

As soon as Nanny Lai finished her call.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhou Rui then looked outside the crowd that Nanny Lai was pointing at.

Lai Da arrived late with two yamen runners.

When the two yamen runners arrived, they saw two people lying on the ground.

"Is it just the two of them?"

“Can I take it away?”

"Why is he like this? Is he dead?"

"You guys killed someone else's slave. The two families have to confront each other in court." The bailiff asked Lai Ma.

Nanny Lai smiled bitterly, "Madam? Look at this..."

Madam Wang said coldly to the yamen runners, "You are under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, you are quite courageous. Do you know where this place is?"

"This is the Duke's Mansion. How dare you come here to arrest someone?"

When the guards saw that Madam Wang was bullying others, they glared at Madam Lai and spoke in a mocking tone.

"What? Didn't you say it was okay?"

"We can't afford to offend this Duke's Mansion. Old Madam, Housekeeper Lai, should we go to your house and wait?"

"Is your mansion also a Duke's mansion that we, as little yamen runners, cannot go to?"

Lai Ziran didn't dare to say that, he hurriedly explained to the yamen runner,

"Of course, you are here to do your job."

After saying this, he winked at Nanny Lai and led the runner away first.

The bailiffs left so quickly that Mrs. Wang had no place to vent her anger.

She looked at Madam Lai and whispered to her, "Madam Lai, tell me the truth."

"Qingwen, is it hidden at your place?"

Mrs. Wang's cold words frightened Lai Ma.

She thought to herself,

Heaven and earth, I have no choice.

Qingwen really didn't hide herself. When she appeared in front of him, he was also startled.

But for people like them who have made it to the top after generations of slaves, faking one's mistake is a natural ability to make a living.

"Madam! Isn't Qingwen dead?" Nanny Lai pretended to be surprised.

"I heard about her death a long time ago. At that time, I thought she was okay and the old lady liked her, so I took her away. I don't know how she turned bad."

Hearing this, Madam Wang was startled and looked at Nanny Lai's expression.

Nanny Lai looked calm, and Mrs. Wang asked again,

"Then may I ask who bought these two useless servants?"

Madam Lai sighed, "Madam! Can I ask what they stole?"

Madam Wang's face was gloomy. "Madam Lai, you know that your Lai family has been in the palace for too long."

There was a hint of threat in her voice, which made Nanny Lai feel nervous.
