The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed

Chapter 396 All the Servants Ran Away

In Tinglan Courtyard.

Liu's face was full of disbelief. She had only heard from Nanny Zhou that Su Zhiwen was locked up because he wanted to buy some authentic works of famous artists and angered the old marquis. But she didn't expect that Su Zhiwen would even dare to scold old Nanny Kang.

"Madam, I went to listen quietly. The second master seemed to be crazy. He cursed very badly, and he not only cursed the old lady, but also the old marquis."

Nanny Zhou continued with a look of disbelief.

"Su Zhiwen might really be crazy!" Liu murmured.

If he wasn't crazy, how could he have lost his mind and even scolded old Mrs. Kang who had always doted on him.

"I think so too. After all, the Fourth Miss invited the divine doctor from the palace to come over and took him to the place where the Second Master was imprisoned. Isn't that to take him to treat the Second Master?"

Nanny Zhou didn't dare to look at her for too long at that time, because there were many people following Su Qingwan. If she was discovered, it would be a waste of time.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that Su Zhiwen must be seriously ill, otherwise there would be no need to invite some miracle doctor!

However, Xiaokang had done a great job of currying favor with the mother and daughter of the third wife. She even asked Su Qingwan to invite a miracle doctor from the palace to treat Su Zhiwen. However, she always felt that Su Qingwan would not be so kind for no reason. She must have some ulterior motives.

"Madam Zhou, are the things prepared for the old marquis ready?" asked Liu.

"It's done. I'll bring it to you for your inspection."

Nanny Zhou went to the side and got something. It was a scarf made of black fox fur. It was part of Su Yunrou's dowry.

On the day when the palace was searching for something, if she hadn't lied and said that this thing was written on the gift list sent to Prince Rui, it would have been searched away.

"Well done! When the weather gets colder in two days, we will send it to the old marquis." Liu said.

Su Yunrou asked her to curry favor with Jiang Shi, and although she agreed, she really couldn't do it, so she might as well find someone else to curry favor with. And in the Marquis' Mansion, the old Marquis was obviously the most suitable.

He is the head of the family. As long as he says something, Jiang will do as he says. So as long as the old marquis is thinking about the first house, they have hope.

……

In the second house, after Xiao Kang got the medicine, she asked Ji Ma to boil it and send it to Su Zhiwen. Although the process of drinking the medicine was not very smooth, with Qing Da's help, the bowl of extremely bitter medicine was still poured into Su Zhiwen's mouth.

After Nanny Ji finished her work, she immediately returned to the second room and reported to Xiao Kang: "Second Madam, the second master has already drunk the medicine. I found that after he drank it, he calmed down and didn't seem to be irritable anymore."

Xiaokang was immediately happy, thinking that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Sheng was very effective and might even be able to cure the second master's illness.

"It's good as long as it works. I'm most worried that the medicine is useless." Xiaokang was relieved.

"Don't worry, Madam. The medicine is effective. Now we just have to wait for the Second Master and the Fifth Miss to get better." Nanny Ji said again.

Xiaokang nodded. If they could all get better, her life would be stable.

Just as the two of them finished talking, Madam Xu walked in and said, "Meet the Second Madam."

"What are you doing here?" Xiaokang asked impatiently.

She hadn't been to Old Kang's house for some time. Firstly, the affairs of the second house had overwhelmed her, and secondly, Old Kang had no money left, so she wouldn't get any subsidy if she went there. It would be better not to go there, so that she could have more peace of mind.

"Second Madam, the old lady asked me to borrow a few people from you to help at Rong'an Hall. The people from the first lady's side have already gone to Rong'an Hall."

Nanny Xu said this with a smile, and her words blocked Xiaokang's way of refusing, after all, the eldest lady had already borrowed someone over.

Although Xiaokang was reluctant, he nodded in agreement.

"Alright! I'll let them go to Rong'an Hall, but I have a lot of things to do in my courtyard, so I'll only let them go for two hours at most. They need to come back as soon as possible."

Xiao Kang first agreed on the time. When the time came, she could ask Madam Xu to go and get the person.

"Yes, I will tell the old lady when I go back." Nanny Xu agreed immediately.

Anyway, if there are more people, the miscellaneous work in Rong'an Hall can be done faster, and even if it is not finished yet, can the second lady really go against the old lady's wishes and call everyone away?

Afterwards, Nanny Xu led the people away.

Xiaokang asked Nanny Ji to bring up the food prepared in the small kitchen, saying that she had to eat first.

Su Qingwan had just woken up after a short nap and was drinking the soup that Shanhu brought her.

"Miss, several servants who stayed behind went to Helin Courtyard to collect their wages." The old woman from the Zhao family told her what had just happened.

"Huh? It's not time to pay the monthly salary yet. What are they going to do with the money?" Su Qingwan asked.

"It's like this. When we dismissed the servants in the mansion, we also dismissed the people in the laundry room. It was agreed that each room would wash their own clothes. I don't know what the old lady was thinking today. She called a few people from the first and second rooms to help. But they didn't work for an hour and said they didn't want to work in the mansion anymore, and then went to Helin Courtyard."

The Zhao family's wife told Su Qingwan what she knew. Su Qingwan smiled faintly after hearing it. "Did my mother settle the bill with them?"

"It's all settled. Madam even gave each of us an extra hundred bucks as compensation for our hard work these days. This money is from Madam's own pocket."

"It's good that the settlement is settled. It's expensive to keep these people in the mansion." Su Qingwan smiled even more deeply. She kept the last few people just for a good reputation.

Now that these servants have left, my goal has been achieved, and that's enough. From now on, Old Kang, Little Kang and Liu will begin to live a truly hard life.

Su Qingwan was very satisfied, but old Mrs. Kang was so angry that she started cursing.

"Who are they? A bunch of slaves who dare to run away without paying any attention to their master. They should all be caught and beaten to death as a warning to others!"

This bunch of rude bastards had no idea how to respect others. I just asked them to do some work, but after working for just over an hour they already shouted that they didn't want to do it anymore and even ran away. It was simply outrageous.

How did his two daughters-in-law teach them? There are no rules at all!

Old Mrs. Kang had never suffered such humiliation before. In the past, she was the most honorable person in the Marquis' Mansion. Which blind servant dared to offend her?

But now?

The servants said that they had signed a working contract and that the Third Madam had promised them that they could leave at any time, so the old lady could not control them and they left one by one.

The main thing is that when they go to Old Kang's house, they do the hardest work. Sweeping, washing clothes, and cleaning the yard are considered good, but in the past they were basically just cleaning toilets, emptying nightshades, and cleaning up slop. In the past, these jobs were done by the lowest-ranking maids in the mansion, but those people were generally on death warrants, and they were all sold out by Jiang last time.

And I don't know what happened today. The weather was cold and the water from the well was like ice water. My hands would become numb when I touched it. Besides, old Mrs. Kang was a difficult person to serve. When she saw these people coming, she sent Aunt Xu to supervise the situation personally. She required the floor to be wiped so that it could reflect light, the toilet to be brushed so that there was no smell at all, and the toilet must not have any odor at all.

In the past, Aunt Xu was always a popular figure around Old Lady Kang. Having been a housekeeper for many years, she was naturally so arrogant that she could kill someone with just a breath. The tortures of the past few days had made her feel suffocated. Today, she finally got the chance. Wouldn't she show off her power as a housekeeper?

So these people couldn't stand the nitpicking, and considering what Jiang had said before, they naturally didn't want to stay.

"Oh, I'm so angry!" Old Kang became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and he covered his chest with his hands, feeling very uncomfortable.

Aunt Xu had never expected things to turn out like this. It was just cleaning the toilet and pouring out the night incense. All the maids in the past had done it, so why did they charge more for it?

They are slaves, born to do this!
