"I'm afraid Aunt Lin has crossed the line. My mother is still here, how can you, a concubine, have the right to speak?"

Only then did Aunt Lin remember that there was still the bitch, Madam Zhou.

She smacked her lips. She was used to this over the years!

"Miss, I am also looking at Miss Three..."

"Don't bother Madam Lin. The crime of theft is a serious crime. I should have reported it to the police, but considering that it is her first offense, I will give her a lighter sentence of thirty slaps on the face and confine her to the backyard."

"Besides, these things are given to her as rewards."

Everyone followed Fang Shiwan's finger and saw that it was the half plate of pork floss dumplings with only half left.

Everyone was surprised that the eldest lady was using both kindness and force.

But Fang Zhiya had already eaten her fill, and now she had no interest in those things at all. She was only thinking about the thirty slaps in the face and the house arrest.

"It's just a few snacks, Shi Wan, aren't you being too harsh?" Although the old lady didn't have any feelings for this concubine's daughter, she was her granddaughter after all. Now that she was present, Fang Shi Wan spoke to her without even asking her a single question, which showed that she didn't take her seriously at all.

"Grandma, do you think it's better for my third sister to be called a thief, or do you think it's better to punish her?"

Aunt Hua's eyes were already red, she stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's my fault for not teaching her well, why don't you just forget it, people outside don't know who she is anyway, just say she's a maid."

After hearing this, the maids in the room moved slightly and trembled.

"Madam Hua, if the reputation of all the maids in the mansion is ruined for your daughter, who will dare to enter my Shangshu Mansion in the future? Besides, if you steal needles when you are young, you will steal gold when you grow up. Are you waiting for your third sister to get married in the future, and then steal from her husband's family?"

"In my opinion, it is your indulgence that caused her to be like this. Since you also know that you are wrong, I will follow your wishes and punish you together."

Aunt Hua was petrified. She was just pretending. She actually wanted to save her daughter, so she said it was her fault.

I didn't expect this bitch to have no respect for even her elders.

The old lady had already been living a hard life, and when she heard that it would be difficult to hire a maid in the future, how could she let herself suffer for the sake of a concubine's daughter?

"Okay, just do as the young lady says."

Fang Zhiya watched Zi Yue come forward and backed away tremblingly.

"No, wuwuwu, grandma, your granddaughter will never dare to do it again, wuwuwu..."

"Oooooh, help!"

"Yaer..." Aunt Hua cried bitterly.

Fang Shiwan sat on a chair beside her and closed her eyes to rest. When the fight was over, she stood up and left the front hall regardless of everyone's shocked looks.

Leaving everyone in the house in panic.

Some were shocked by Fang Shiwan's changes.

Some people began to fear Fang Shiwan.

Aunt Lin was inwardly resentful of what had just happened.

Fang Zhirou didn't say a word from beginning to end, and was observing Fang Shiwan from beginning to end.

She saw the situation today clearly. This elder sister has changed, which made her doubt that she was pretending before.

Being able to fake death, put oneself in a coffin, and then get out of it, requires quite a lot of scheming.

"Is this the snack that the young lady mentioned? Let me try it. I've been starving these past few days."

"Aunt Liu, give me some. I'm also very hungry."

"Don't squeeze me, I got it first."

Several concubines, without caring about their status at all, rushed forward to grab the half plate of meat floss.

Everyone was like a starving ghost who had not eaten, grabbing the food with their hands, and some people even fought over it.

"Put them all down for me!"

The old lady's angry roar startled the concubines who were about to put the food into their mouths. Looking at the old lady's angry face, they put the food back on the table guiltily.

"Everyone get out, it's so annoying."

"Yes, old lady." The concubines bowed and retreated.

Aunt Hua supported Fang Zhiya, who was dizzy and had a swollen and bleeding face, and walked out of the front hall.

Seeing this, the concubines also left one after another.

The old lady then sat back in the main seat with the help of Nanny Huang.

She waved her hand: "You can leave too."

"Yes, old lady."

Nanny Huang looked at the old lady worriedly, then left the front hall.

The old lady raised her head and watched them leave one by one. Then she revealed a greedy face and walked to the table with shining eyes.

She grabbed the pork floss buns on the table, one in each hand, and took a bite. They were soft, sweet, and salty, and tasted better than anything she had ever eaten before.

Her eyes lit up and she started to eat voraciously, not caring about her body.

.......

"Rou'er, what do you think of today's situation?" Aunt Lin asked Fang Zhirou, who was worried, on her way back to the yard.

"Mother, I suspect that my elder sister was faking her death. She faked her death and then deliberately crawled out of the coffin to scare us. Look at her today. She is so powerful that she even suppressed my daughter's momentum."

Aunt Lin ruffled Fang Zhirou's hair and said, "Rou'er, you can see it too."

"Mother, why did you go to help the third sister just now? If the eldest sister punishes her and lets them kill each other, wouldn't it be good for us to benefit?"

"Rou'er, if mother helps her, she will also be of use to us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You understand, if you help her today, she will definitely remember it in the future. Find a way to spread today's incident. By then, everyone in the imperial city will know about it. Aunt Hua will definitely think that it was done by the eldest lady. Then, we will be the ones who have the most advantages."

Fang Zhirou raised her head and said, "Mom, you are wise."

......

The concubines walked back to the yard one by one, whispering to each other. Thinking of the snacks they had just had, they felt indignant.

"Young Miss is really so partial to Concubine Hua. She slapped her thirty times for stealing something, and gave the remaining snacks to them. She never treats us like this on weekdays."

"That's right. I'm so angry. What will happen if my daughter's marriage is delayed when she reaches the age of 15?"

"No, the young lady has never read any women's virtues, so she was given such a light punishment. Moreover, she was rewarded with things and treated so well. I think we must teach her a lesson."

"indeed."

.....

"Wan'er, you did very well today." Zhou was standing aside, looking at her daughter who had changed from her previous stern attitude, and felt very relieved. It seemed that the teacher's teaching was useful. As the eldest daughter of a legitimate wife, she should have the demeanor of a legitimate daughter.

"Mom, don't you think your daughter is too harsh?"

Zhou shook her head. "If your sister's theft was known, it would affect the marriages of the sisters in the mansion, and your career as an official with your father would also be affected. It's just a slap in the face."

"Ordinary families would have long ago kicked him out of the family tree or sent him to the countryside."

It seems that she is too good to her third sister...
