A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 164 Death with a Rod
Mr. Ma's family recalled the scene the day before yesterday when the third lady punished Bingqin with a cane, and couldn't help but panic.
If she said another nonsense, the third lady might be able to kill her with a stick, right?
"Third Madam... is... the eldest young master's subordinate Lai Shun sent a message and gave the old slave twenty taels of silver, asking the old slave to do this."
Su Qingyu knew that Laishun was now a second-class servant beside Shen Zhao. He served in Hanshuiyuan since childhood and later became Shen Zhao's confidant.
When she returned to Su's house before she died in her previous life, he was the one who followed Shen Zhao and helped Cheng Rujin hold her down in the end.
"Bring it here." Su Qingyu said coldly.
Jade said yes, turned around and went out to take the people.
Everyone, Mr. Ma, knows that things cannot go well today.
So when Feicui went to take people away, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Third Madam, spare your life. This old slave also obeys the orders of the eldest young master. Please spare my life. I will only listen to Third Madam's orders from now on."
Su Qingyu just looked at it coldly and did not speak. Shen Zhao probably thought that she would just let the matter go, so she decided to make a big fuss.
Not long after, Laishun was brought in.
"A gift to the third lady."
Laishun knelt on the ground to salute respectfully. Seeing Mr. Ma's family kneeling aside, he had a guess in his heart.
Su Qingyu picked up the tea cup and said expressionlessly.
"How about the confrontation between you and Mr. Ma? What's going on?"
"Did you say that on purpose, or did she hear it wrong?"
When Laishun saw this, his thoughts changed and he immediately said: "Third Madam, she heard wrong. I didn't mean to ask for another bed curtain, let alone that it was the eldest young master's order. Please be aware of it."
"She just heard it wrong and got involved in our Hanshui courtyard because she was afraid of being punished."
A smile appeared on Su Qingyu's face, "I haven't said anything yet, why are you talking about the young master?"
Laishun was startled, then realized that he was too impatient and said the wrong thing.
"Third Madam, I didn't mean that. I thought this woman was slandering our eldest young master."
Su Qingyu snorted, "Think? Then what you think is pretty accurate."
"I've asked you all the questions, but you haven't told the truth yet, so don't blame me for being rude."
"Come here, please pull down the stick and kill me. Mr. Ma, hit me with ten boards and throw them to Zhuangzi."
Laishun didn't expect that he would lose his life if he sent a message to the eldest young master. Why would the third lady dare to kill the eldest young master’s people with a cane?
Whose new housekeeper's wife would take action against the servants in her nephew's yard?
"Third Madam, the younger one belongs to the eldest young master, you can't do this."
Su Qingyu sneered, "The eldest young master's people? I'm not his people, so I won't move."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and ordered the person to be pulled down. She hasn't found a chance to kill anyone except Shen Zhao with one strike, so let's collect interest first.
The embroiderers in the sewing room were trembling with fear. They worked with needlework every day, and this was the first time they saw such a scene.
On the other hand, the newly promoted steward Chun Niang looked quite calm.
Mr. Ma's family was sent to work as coolies in Zhuangzi by Su Qingyu. After the matter was settled, Su Qingyu returned to the West Courtyard.
In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the Shen family's courtyards.
It is said that the eldest young master deliberately made trouble for the third lady. The third lady killed a boy in Hanshui courtyard with a cane and sent the steward who was working on the needlework to Zhuangzi.
Everyone in charge knows that the third lady has a tough temper. They all made up their minds that everything in the future would be dominated by the third lady, and they could not do anything bad for the third lady.
Not long after returning to the west courtyard, Pearl came in and reported, "Madam, the eldest young master has taken Aunt Cheng out of the house."
Su Qingyu's eyebrows moved, "Oh? Did you leave the house to see the doctor?"
Pearl nodded, "We should go see the doctor. Should we report this to the old lady? The old lady doesn't allow Aunt Cheng to leave the house."
Su Qingyu shook her head, "You don't need to tell the old lady yet. Even if you do, Shen Zhao will take the initiative to say that he took the people out. The old lady will not deny her grandson face. In the end, the most he will do is reprimand or ground him."
It's better to wait and see for two more days to see what Cheng Rujin is doing when he leaves the house. Even if you have a handle, you have to catch a handle that can be fatal.
In the afternoon, Zhenzhu came in again to report that Shen Zhao had brought people back to the mansion. His arm had been reattached, and he did not say anything about Lai Shun's death.
"Madam, this time the matter between you and the eldest young master caused a big fuss. In the end, madam won, and those stewards will definitely be more obedient in the future."
Su Qingyu snorted coldly: "It depends on whether they understand each other. If they don't, I don't mind changing them all."
She thought of Xiangdong again, "How have you been with Aunt Xiang these past two days?"
Pearl has been trying to find out the news over there. "The Master has been accompanying Concubine Xiang these past two days. I heard that the Madam even smashed the bedroom."
After saying that, Pearl sighed, "The master is so kind to Aunt Xiang. I heard from the servants over there that she would love her to the heavens."
Su Qingyu thought of Xiangdong's attitude and that in her previous life, Xiangdong took leave and went home. Xiangdong should have killed the child in his previous life.
"Okay? The great master's kindness is like honey to others, but it is arsenic to Xiangdong."
How is this good different from keeping a canary in a cage? It's just to please himself, but he doesn't care about Xiangdong's life or death.
Another day passed, Su Qingyu suddenly received a message in the morning. It was said that the third young master of the Lin family invited the third lady to Guangfu Tower, where the private room was named Man Tingfang, to discuss important matters. In addition to the message, there was also a jade pendant that Lin Wuchen usually wore.
If she went to other places, Su Qingyu wouldn't think too much about it. But Guangfu Tower...
She held the jade pendant in her hand and rubbed it. Third cousin would not ask her to go to Guangfu Tower to discuss matters.
Few people in Beijing know that Guangfu Building is actually the property of the Shen family and is also an important channel for the Shen family to obtain information.
After Lin Wuchen came to Beijing, she specifically told people not to go to Guangfu Building to discuss matters with others, it was best to discuss matters in her own shop. Even if she marries into the Shen family, she doesn't want the Shen family to find out everything about her cousin.
Just at this moment, Pearl walked in.
"Madam, Aunt Cheng and the eldest young master left the house together again half an hour ago."
Su Qingyu frowned slightly, feeling that there was something unusual about the two schedules of Rujin and Shen Zhao.
As soon as they left the house, someone deliberately lured her out, but they still lured her to Guangfu Tower.
Su Qingyu thought for a while, then went into the house and took a handkerchief soaked in potion, just in case. She also took the small sleeve arrow that Lin Wuchen had given her for self-defense. Finally, he went to Shen Zhixiu's study and got a token.
After everyone was ready, Su Qingyu left the house with only Jade.
If Shen Zhao and Cheng Rujin dug a hole for her together, she would just push them both into the hole and bury them. There are not many opportunities like this.
She went to Lin's Trading Company first, and after going in and asking, she found out that Lin Wuchen had gone out an hour ago, and the boy didn't know where he had gone.
Su Qingyu guessed that she was taken away by someone who plotted against her.
The master and servant took the carriage to Guangfu Tower again.
Su Qingyu was not in a hurry to get out of the car, but handed the token in her hand to Jade.
"Take this token and quietly ask the shopkeeper if Shen Zhao and Cheng Rujin are here and in which private room they are in."
"Don't let others see it, especially Third Master's token. Don't let any clues come out."
