Chapter 254: Strange
Taifu Xie really didn't treat Xie Fengyue badly. When she arrived at the Xie Mansion's courtyard, it was all equipped according to the specifications of Xie Fengyu, a direct descendant. There were as many as fifty or sixty servants in the entire courtyard. The noise outside spread to the inner room, giving Xie Fengyue a headache. .
With a beep beep, the eldest girl Chunshui knocked on the door and asked: "Girl, madam asked your slave to come and ask you if you need to bring over all the people you are used to in the princess's mansion."
Xie Fengyue pinched her eyebrows. She didn't need anyone to do what she wanted to do, and she wouldn't implicate anyone.
"No, just wait for me to rest for a while and let Butler Xie come to me. I need to deal with those servants."
Chun Shui had just come to this courtyard, and he didn't understand the temperament of the moon girl. He didn't dare to reply to those who had something or not, so he could only reply respectfully: "I understand, I will wait for the girl to wake up in a few minutes, and I will go find the housekeeper." ~”
The night gradually fell, and the lanterns hung one by one in five steps prevented the entire huge Xie Mansion from completely falling into darkness.
As soon as Xie Fengyue saw Butler Xie, she seemed hesitant to speak. She gritted her teeth and finally spoke: "I'd like to trouble the butler to go to the princess's mansion tomorrow and expel all my personal servants from the mansion and sell them to Official teeth.”
Butler Xie was shocked when he heard this. He had never heard of a house in Shengjing where a young man would sell his personal maidservant. He asked curiously: "Why is this? That's a personal servant." Yes, you know they are not ordinary slaves who don’t know anything.”
Xie Fengyue hesitated, as if it was too twists and turns to express.
Seeing this, Butler Xie continued: "If the girl can't give a serious reason, I won't dare to do this."
Xie Fengyue sighed: "The housekeeper doesn't know anything. My adoptive father died in my princess's mansion. All my girls and servants know it, and one of them went to the city gate to greet him in person. They are not doing well this time." , if my father hadn’t come to finish things off for me, wouldn’t my identity be Have they been exposed? I really don’t want to see them, but people’s hearts are full of flesh, and I don’t want to kill them just like that. I might as well find Guan Ya to sell them to those who want to leave Beijing. The official family can be regarded as having this servant friendship.”
There was quite a loophole in what Xie Fengyue said. Butler Xie was in charge of hundreds of servants in the Xie Mansion, and he was not a vegetarian. He immediately caught what she said: "If a branch of the Xie family dies, it can be said to the outside world." What can the girl’s father do about this? After all, those who serve him are old people who have been with him for several years, and they are going to be dismissed just because of this trivial matter.”
Xie Fengyue lamented: "I just don't want my father to announce that the person who died is my nominal father."
She was vague, but Butler Xie had a stern look on his face. After sending all the maids and women around him out, he asked cautiously: "Does the girl know about the master's plan?"
Butler Xie could only think this way. Girl Yue didn't want outsiders to know that the person who died was Xie Rong, her nominal father.
The reason is simply for the sake of future glory. Although she is now the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, if the master's plan comes to fruition and without those obstacles, he might be able to bring her to justice in Shengjing, far away from Chen County. Identity announced.
Based on the master's care for her, the side branch will be named the legitimate daughter and the Xie family's daughter will be the legitimate daughter. In this clan-oriented world, anyone with a discerning eye can see who is less important and who is more important.
But he really couldn't figure out why the girl didn't just kill the servants who knew the truth. This was the only way to avoid future troubles.
Butler Xie directly asked what was on his mind.
"Why don't I go kill those people tomorrow?" He raised his hand and slowly wiped his neck.
Xie Fengyue was shocked and covered her mouth with a round fan, "Don't, don't, don't, they have been with me for several years. It's not that I have no feelings for them, it's just... Hey~ Housekeeper, they sleep in the middle of the night and wake up in the fifth every day as servants. It's been hard enough to have to surround my master, I really don't want to "Carrying out these murders." The first half of what she said was indifferent to the steward, but in the second half he felt something about it. He also started from the lowest servant, and worked hard in this wealthy mansion. Group after group of talents sit in this position.
He had seen many examples of masters beating servants to death without pleasure, but now he saw Xie Fengyue who was unwilling to beat his servant to death, and he felt a lot in his heart.
"That's all, I have to report this to the master first. If the master agrees, then I will do it tomorrow."
Xie Fengyue had tears in her eyelashes and waved her hands repeatedly: "Please have mercy on the housekeeper and don't tell father about this. If you tell father, they will definitely not survive tomorrow."
Butler Xie hesitated. Although he was dealing with the servants of several girls, the master had ordered him to get the information from Lady Yue and report it to him.
He shook his head: "Forgive me, girl, but I have to listen to my master."
Seeing his determined expression, Xie Fengyue rushed to seek medical treatment. She took off all the hairpins on his head and bracelets on his wrists, pushed them to Butler Xie, and looked at him pleadingly: "These are just a few slaves. Butler, you can handle it." It’s the same as if I dealt with it with my father. Besides, my father is busy with government affairs today, so why bother distracting him with these little things.”
Butler Xie naturally disdained these gold and silver jewels. He just felt that it was very touching that a noble girl could be so humble and begging for help from just a few servants.
Although he is now considered a "nine thousand years old" in this mansion, isn't he still essentially a servant?
Butler Xie sighed and pushed the things back: "Girl, please don't bother me, I'll go tomorrow."
Xie Fengyue cried with joy after receiving his words: "Thank you so much, housekeeper. Their deeds are all in the box under the bed. I really bothered the housekeeper to make an extra trip."
After hearing the business, Butler Xie didn't want to stay any longer. Although he was old, he was still a foreigner. It was already dark outside, so it would be inappropriate to continue to stay in the backyard.
"This is all a trivial matter. The girl said something serious. Night has come. Please rest early. The old slave will not disturb you."
Xie Fengyue stood up gratefully to see him off. After he was sent to the door, she turned around, but there was still a trace of excitement in her eyes.
She coldly ordered the maid standing guard outside the door: "I want to rest. There is no need to keep vigil today."
The girls didn't dare to breathe, and after responding one after another, they quietly closed the door.
Xie Fengyue returned to the desk, glanced at the jewelry, and chuckled.
"I haven't acted for a long time, so I feel a little rusty."
When she came out of the princess's mansion, she didn't bring any gold, silver or jade jewelry. She didn't even pay attention to the broken branches and stamens, but she only brought the birdcage with Xiaobai in it.
Little Bai Zhizhi's big eyes rolled around, and he made a cooing sound towards Xie Fengyue, ignorant and naive.
