Chapter 164 The slave deceives the master
Shi Yao cried, "Why do you have to hide it? I beat you so hard that your face is swollen. Just say it! I will not only beat you in front of the servants, but also in front of the old master!"
After saying that, he slapped her twice!
If her wrists hadn't been sore and her palms hadn't turned red, Shi Yao would have been able to slap him a few more times.
Ning Yuan Hou felt very happy watching from the side, as if these slaps were really slapping the old Duke and the Zhenguo Duke, father and son, in the face.
The more aggressive Shi Yao was, and the less ladylike she was, the more shameful the Shi family became.
The old Duke is indeed ashamed. How could a lady from a noble family be so tough?
It's embarrassing in front of the enemy!
He signaled Liu Hua to stop them.
Aunt Liu Hua had a wooden face and lowered her eyes, pretending that she couldn't understand the expression in her eyes - what were you stopping? You've already lost all the face you should lose!
Her teaching was in vain!
When Shi Yao was not provoked, she could still pretend to be a gentle lady from a noble family. But when she was provoked, she instantly returned to her original form - why didn't her masters learn her lesson?
Why mess with her?
How much would it cost to just say one more thing, "Don't search Guanju Courtyard?"
While everyone was flirting with each other, Shi Yao cried even more miserably than Wan Zheng's wife who was slapped: "Old Master, I admit what I did! Madam Wan said to smash it, so smash it! Yes, I smashed Eighth Brother's yard!
I was carrying out the old master's order for Miss Wan. Miss Wan was so unreasonable. Since she was going to search Eighth Brother, she didn't search Eighth Brother's yard first, but went to search other people's rooms first!
I thought, it's dark under the lamp, maybe the eighth brother is hiding in his own yard? Otherwise, if there is a turmoil outside, and Miss Wan searches the yard one by one, making everyone upset, how is it different from a house search?
After hearing this, wouldn't the aunt in Tangdi Courtyard be furious again and have to lie in bed for another ten days or half a month?
The eighth brother had known filial piety since he was a child, so how could he watch the yards of his elders and siblings being searched? How could he watch his elders get sick from anger and his sisters-in-law be humiliated?
Therefore, I boldly guessed that he must be hiding in his own yard - but who knew that he was not there? Who knew where he was hiding?
"Wow, Brother Eight betrayed my trust. I really thought he was a gentleman who respected his elders and was friendly to his siblings. Who knew... Who knew...Wow, Brother Eight is a bad guy!"
The girl cried and complained at the same time. Her last sentence was so soft and delicate, and her tone was so innocent that people just thought she was a naive child crying and feeling sad.
"Well said!" Ning Yuanhou couldn't help but applaud again, and said indignantly, "Old Duke, Zhenguo Duke, you also heard that Shi Minghui is a piece of shit.
In order to find him, the backyard was in chaos, but he never showed up, preferring his parents, brothers and sisters, and sisters-in-law to suffer injustice, or even to be criticized and pointed out by others. It can be seen that he is a heartless and cold-hearted person! "
The old Duke's face was as gloomy as water: "My Lord, be careful with your words. Don't make a conclusion about a young person easily. It will ruin their life."
The Duke of Zhenguo glanced coldly at Shi Yao, his evil niece.
Ningyuan Hou was aggressive: "He dared to do it, but he doesn't dare to take responsibility? Even if I say that he is gentle, respectful, frugal, modest, benevolent, righteous, polite, wise, trustworthy, loyal, filial, honest, shameless and brave, will anyone believe it? With all the things he has done, who would believe it? Old Duke, do you believe it? Zhenguo Duke, do you believe it?"
The old Duke and his son really couldn't say one word: believe it.
Shi Yao cried out, and waved her hands hurriedly, saying, "Uncle Ge, please don't listen to my nonsense! Maybe Eighth Brother really didn't hear the noise in the yard? I was just talking nonsense because I was sad - even if Eighth Brother really did this, it doesn't mean that he won't be a man who dotes on his wife in the future!"
Ning Yuan Hou sneered.
He felt that the Shi brothers doted on their sisters more than on their wives, of course, except for their sister Shi Yao.
"Our children don't have this blessing, so let's leave it to others. Old Duke, excuse me for interrupting you, please continue to take care of your household affairs."
Ning Yuanhou crossed his legs and shook them continuously, as if he was watching a show without being afraid of the height of the stage or eating a melon without being afraid of its size.
The old Duke said unhappily, "Let Wan Zheng come in."
Wan Zheng had been waiting outside. He hurried in, knelt beside his wife, and said solemnly, "Please calm down, old master, and please calm down, second young lady.
The old master trusted me and entrusted me with the task. I didn't know people well and asked this woman who is used to putting on airs to do the task. I am at fault. I beg the old master and the second lady to punish me and my wife!"
After saying this, he kowtowed three times to the old duke, and then kowtowed to Shi Yao to apologize.
Shi Yao quickly dodged, thinking to herself that this was a man who could see the situation clearly. He took all the blame and slightly restored the old Duke's dignity in front of Marquis Ningyuan, letting Marquis Ningyuan see that the Duke's Mansion was still a well-behaved family.
Seeing that her husband did not defend her, Wan Zheng's wife could only cry and kowtow to admit her guilt.
The old Duke said calmly, "You are bullying your master. You and your wife will each be punished with 15 strokes of the cane. The whole family should be driven back to the farm. Second girl, are you satisfied?"
Shi Yao burst into tears of joy and said hurriedly, "My granddaughter doesn't know anything and I just listen to you! Thank you for clearing my name! You are so wise!"
The old Duke was speechless.
Today's flattery doesn't sound pleasant at all.
Wan Zheng kowtowed to express his gratitude.
Wan Zheng's wife burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly: "Old Master, this is all my fault. I was so vain that I wanted to use the second girl as a scapegoat... I am the only one who can bear the consequences. Please forgive Wan Zheng and our child!"
When the family goes to the farm, they have to work hard every day, and their children and grandchildren will never have a chance to make a name for themselves. There is no future for them as they serve the master.
The old Duke pursed his lips and said nothing, sipping his tea with his eyes lowered.
Wan Zheng reprimanded her in a low voice: "I have often advised you to think twice before you act, but you acted arrogantly, causing a turmoil in the backyard and trying to control the second girl. How dare you ask for forgiveness from the master? I am your man, so I naturally have to bear half the responsibility. Stop talking nonsense, kowtow and thank you. From now on, remember the duty of a servant!"
Wan Zheng's wife cried and thanked him.
The couple were dragged away and beaten with sticks.
There was a moment of dead silence in the hall.
Shi Yao's knees ached from kneeling, but no one asked her to stand up.
When she looked up, she saw the old man sipping his tea, as if he had completely forgotten about her. This was really embarrassing for her!
Glancing back, Ning Yuanhou winked at her playfully.
Shi Yao shuddered. It was really greasy for a middle-aged man to pretend to be playful!
There was no other way. No one backed her up. Shi Yao coughed lightly, bowed deeply, and thanked him again: "Thank you, grandfather, for clearing my granddaughter's name!"
The old Duke still said nothing and did not call out.
This girl is too outspoken. She doesn't even consider where she is before she messes up the place. We need to teach her a lesson and make her more restrained in the future.
Shi Yao gritted her teeth, got up quickly, and trotted to the old Duke's side. She picked up the teapot and added more tea. She bent her waist, looked quite servile, and said with an apologetic smile:
"Grandfather, even though the weather is getting hot, it's not summer yet. It's better to drink hot tea to warm your spleen and stomach."
The old Duke was speechless.
This girl is so shameless!
"Ah."
He responded, which helped to ease his anger.
Now that you've coaxed him, just get out of here and don't embarrass yourself by staying here any longer.
