Chapter 10: Speak no words

Go to the room.
Xie's expression was gloomy, sitting on the couch.
From time to time, there was a fierce look in his eyes.
Chunhe brought a bowl of health soup, "Madam, it's time to drink soup!"
"Let it go!"
"Yes!"
Chunhe put the porcelain bowl on the small table, then squatted down to beat Xie's leg.
Xie's eyes closed slightly, as if asleep.
Chunhe didn't dare to relax at all, the strength in his hand was not light or heavy, just right.
After a while, Xie suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Where is the master now?"
"Return to madam, the master will be in the outer courtyard study."
Chunhe carefully observed his wife Xie's expression, but the wife was overwhelmed with joy and anger, she could not see anything.
After thinking about it, Chunhe asked, "Madam, do you want to invite the master over tonight?"
Xie shook his head slowly, "Not tonight."
The master is still in anger, she must first find a way to calm the master.
Then, Xie asked, "Where is Mrs. Li?"
Chunhe whispered, "Still kneeling in the courtyard outside."
Xie snorted and made no secret of his anger, "a bunch of idiots!"
"My wife calms down her anger. Aunt Li already knows that she was wrong when she thought about it."
Xie's face was stern, "You don't need to speak for her. Is there any news from Gu Quan?"
Gu Quan took someone to copy Li's house. Xie was always worried for fear that Gu Quan would copy the prohibited items from Li's house.
In recent years, she has been indulging in Li and her gang, making her more and more courageous.
Xie has no doubt that this idiot, there must be something hidden in the house that cannot be seen.
"Go and ask Mrs. Li, how much has she been greedy for ink over the years? Are there any objects brought in from the master?"
Chunhe's heart jumped, "Is the wife worried?"
"Ok!"
Xie's face was worried, "Let Gao Sanfu stare at Gu Quan, and report it to me as soon as there is news."
Senior Sanfu is an outside manager and Xie's confidant.
Chunhe took the order, "The slave and maidservant will go and ask."
Chunhe got up and walked outside the door.
Li and the other women in the treasury were kneeling in the courtyard.
Po Li was hit by twenty boards, her skin was open and fleshy, she couldn't get a rest, she had to kneel. I was so uncomfortable to death.
She would regret and be afraid, seeing Chunhe coming out, she stared eagerly.
"Chunhe, does your wife have orders?"
Chunhe stepped forward and lowered his voice, "My wife asked me to ask you, do you have any prohibited items in your house, such as the items you brought in from the master's study?"
Lady Li's eyes were round and her face looked horrified, "What do you mean by madam?"
Chunhe stared at her, "Just answer, yes or no?"
Granny Li waved her hand quickly, "No, absolutely not."
Chun He suppressed the ridicule in his heart, and said calmly: "It's better not. You should continue to kneel, don't make any noises, arguing for your wife to rest."
"Yes Yes!"
...
Outer courtyard study.
Gu Quan bowed and handed the account book.
Behind him, several small servants were carrying the baskets, and inside the baskets were the belongings copied from the house of Mrs. Li.
"Master, everything is here, please have a look."
Master Gu flipped through the account book casually, "Did you copy it clean?"
"Yes. Copy it clean!"
Snapped!
The account books were thrown on the desk by Mr. Gu, "confiscated these."
Gu Quan hesitated.
He thought that the master saw the account book and learned that Po Li had greeted thousands of taels of property, including half of ginseng, and he would be furious.
Unexpectedly, the master was so calm.
He couldn't help asking: "Master, where is Granny Li?"
"Let the wife take care of it. This matter is with the official, and it ends here."
"Yes!"
...
Chunhe hurried back to Shangfang.
"Madam, there is news!"
Xie immediately sat up from the couch, "How is it?"
Chunhe panted, and said: "Gu Quan copied the house of Mrs. Li and copied it cleanly, with nothing left. He also specially made an account book and handed it to the master for review. The master said after reading it, saying..."
"Say what?" Xie's was almost anxious.
"Master said, this thing ends here."
"Master really said that?"
Chunhe nodded again and again, "The executive asked about it personally, it can't be wrong."
Xie was silent, his expression not relaxed.
Chunhe was puzzled, "Master said that so far, he will definitely not pursue this matter again. Why is the wife unhappy?"
Xie's laughed at himself, "You don't understand. In the master's place, the matter was over after copying Mrs. Li's house. But in this lady's place, the matter is not over yet.
The master ordered me to take care of the rest. If I don't handle it properly, what do you think the master would think?
Does he think I can't manage this family well? Would you think that I was too soft-hearted to be controlled by subordinates.
This time, if I didn't deal with Mrs. Li, there would be no way to explain to the master. "
"How do you deal with Mrs. Li?"
Xie's expression was sullen, "Go and call in Lady Li."
"Yes!"
Li and the other women in the treasury walked into the main house, saw Xie, and knelt down immediately.
"Madam, the maidservant knows wrong. Ask the wife to give the maidservant a chance to make corrections."
Snapped!
Xie smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, the teacup shattered, the tea splashed all over, splashing all of Li's face.
Mrs. Li was lying on the ground with a bad feeling in her heart.
Xie pointed at Mrs. Li and cursed: "Bane maid, I have vainly trusted you. That's how you repayed me. You made me lose face in front of the master, what crime should you be?"
"My wife is forgiving, forgive me! The slaves and maids do this in accordance with the instructions of the wife..."
Li's heart was flustered and she couldn't help but speak.
Xie's murderous heart burst, and angrily scolded:
"Shut up, maidservant! Even now, you still don't know how to repent, and you dare to pour dirty water on this lady, you it!"
"The servant girl deserves to die, the servant girl deserves to die. Please forgive me."
Old lady Li knocked her head frequently, her scalp was bleeding, and her eyes were full of chagrin. She is so stupid, how could she say that to make her unhappy.
Xie's expression calmed down, as if his anger had disappeared.
"Okay, don't knock! Let's go down to heal the injury first. Other things will be discussed after the injury is healed."
Huh?
Mrs. Li was overjoyed, but she didn't expect to pass it so easily.
"Thank you madam! Madam kindness."
Xie's waved his hand, feeling that Mrs. Li and the others were an eyesore, so they hurried down.
Li and the other women helped each other and left the upper room.
When everyone left, Xie gave a sneer.
"Chunhe."
"The servant is here."
Xie played with the Buddha beads in his hands, "Tell Gao Sanfu to take Mrs. Li and the others to Zhuangzi to take care of them overnight tonight. Don't make any disturbances and disturb the master."
Chunhe's heart jumped, a little nervous, "Madam, do you really want to send Aunt Li to Zhuangzi?"
Xie snorted, "Why, do you want to intercede for Lady Li?"
"Slaves dare not."
"Since you don't dare, then do as I tell you."
"Slaves obey orders."
Chunhe bowed his head.
"Mother, do you have anything wrong, mother?"
A bright-looking girl in a blue dress ran in.
Following her was a girl with a smaller stature.
These two girls are Xie’s biological daughters, the third girl Gu Yue and the fourth girl Gu Shan.
