bright moon goes west

Mrs. Cui acted resolutely. After lavishly burying Juxuan, she rewarded Juxuan's family members generously, adopted Juxuan's younger brother as a foster son, and gave him a future.

As for Lian Zhou, Mrs. Cui's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness. She has been too merciful in order to accumulate blessings for that unfated grandson in the past few years. .

"Ma'am, everyone is already in the yard."

The little maid drew up the curtain, and a woman in her 40s who looked like a lady in charge came in. She was wearing a ginger-yellow double-breasted dress with ruyi patterns, a bamboo-green hang silk horse-face skirt, and a round bun. An inch-long gold hairpin with flat grain, and a smiling round face looks shrewd and capable.

Mrs. Cui nodded, and took the maid to the yard.

In the main courtyard, Lianzhou's mother-in-law, brothers-in-law, younger siblings, nephews, and nieces were all tied up into rice dumplings, and a daughter-in-law was holding a baby in embarrassment.

Everyone was mournful and crying, kowtowing desperately on the bluestone bricks in the yard,

The white lady bowed her knees respectfully: "Ma'am, all nine members of the Lianzhou family are here."

Mrs. Cui nodded in satisfaction, and said to the white steward of the Discipline Hall, "Beat me slowly and hard until I die."

Mrs. Cui raised her eyes to look at the sky as she spoke. At this time, she had just finished her lunch, so she ordered: "Send their family on the road before dark."

"Ma'am, Ma'am, please be kind!" The Sun family cried into a ball.

Mrs. Cui lowered her eyes lightly, and casually straightened her sleeves: "Noisy!"

Bai Guanshi and Bai Snake are husband and wife, Bai Guanshi is responsible for disciplining the servants in the outer courtyard, and Bai Snake is in charge of disciplining the maids in the inner courtyard.

Husband and wife, one has a face like Yan Luo, and the other is a smiling tiger with a knife hidden in his smile. In the Cui family, there is no servant or girl who is not afraid.

But these two couples are very respectable in front of the master.Especially the White Snake, Mrs. Cui valued her very much, and she was always cited as her right-hand man. Apart from Lin Xiangxue who came over with Mrs. Cui's dowry, she was the most trusted person in the Cui family by Mrs. Cui.

Therefore, even though these two couples are domineering among the servants, few people in the mansion dare to speak up.

Seeing a hint of impatience hidden in Mrs. Cui's brows, Guan Shi hurriedly ordered his servants to gag all the members of the Sun family and push them onto the execution bench.

The young man who came out of the Discipline Hall was very measured, since Mrs. Cui said that he was going on the road before dark, he would never allow anyone to die before the sun went down!
"Ma'am, what should we do with these little ones?" A woman in charge asked with difficulty while holding a baby who was only a little over one year old in her arms.

Before Mrs. Cui could speak, the white lady came out and yelled at the young daughter-in-law: "You don't need to ask Madam about such a trivial matter. If someone throws this scoundrel into a mass grave, it depends on his fate."

On the bench, Lianzhou's sister-in-law struggled with a "woo-woo-woo", her eyes were about to drip blood.

Mrs. Cui nodded slightly, and immediately a servant took the baby boy from his wife's arms, and walked out of the main courtyard quickly.

"Execute." Mrs. Cui ordered in a calm voice.

The courtyard was full of prominent servants from each house of the Cui family, and they were all standing in the courtyard tremblingly with their hands down, and the sound of sticks beating on the flesh came from their ears, which made people shudder.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack..." A few young children couldn't hold it anymore, and a broken straw mat was rolled up and carried out by several servants.

The punishment was still going on, and the child's mother watched this scene with tearful eyes, wailing "Woooo...", and blood dripped from her eyes.

This very tragic scene made the servants in the crowd turn their faces away unbearably.A few servants among them boldly glanced at Mrs. Cui, only to see that she was as graceful as a peony in full bloom, her beautiful face did not show any ripples, and her slender hands were even in the mood to hold the crystal plate. Peach to eat.

It was a sunny day in May, but the servants broke out in dense cold sweat because of the fear of Mrs. Cui in their hearts.

The execution was still going on, and several servants fainted on the ground because they couldn't stand for a long time, and because they were afraid of Mrs. Cui's power, no one around them dared to help them.

"Unbelievable thing!" The white lady reprimanded lightly when she saw this, and ordered the servant standing beside her: "Wash him awake."

As Mrs. Cui's confidant, the White Snake knows better than her the good show of killing chickens and monkeys. If Madam doesn't say stop, everyone will have to watch and sing the show.

"Sister-in-law, how can you sing today?" A female voice came from outside the Chuihua Gate, and it sounded as delicate and sweet as a young girl.Before the people arrived, the voice came first!

After a while, a petite and exquisite figure walked in from the door. A beautiful woman who looked 30 or [-] years old walked in gracefully holding the maid's hand. Qiong nose and cherry lips, two curved silkworm lines under the eyelids, laughing before speaking, who else is it but Mrs. Cui Er!

Shen Rongniang slowly got up from the official hat chair, a pair of beautiful and compelling phoenix eyes condescendingly glanced down, revealing a frightening power in a casual way.

Mrs. Cui Er was intimidated by the power in her eyes, her body froze, and she couldn't help but took half a step back. By the time she realized it, it was already too late.Her round deer-like eyes dimmed, and she pulled the corners of her mouth as nonchalantly as possible, forcing a smile to cover up her gaffe just now.

She looked around the yard first, and then fell on the members of the Sun family who were executed in the middle of the yard, and she immediately showed a look of panic.

She covered her mouth with one hand, and she couldn't bear to say: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Even if the servant is at fault, she can't do such a cruel hand!" She turned her eyes away, and bit her red lips with her white teeth , whispered in a worried voice: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of my sister-in-law's anger. You also have grandchildren. Such a method is really against the harmony of nature."

Second Madam Cui's disgusting performance earned Shen Rongniang a sneer.

Her black eyebrows that slanted into her temples were raised slightly, the corners of her lips were turned up, and her graceful and glamorous face was full of arrogance: "The second younger sibling came just in time, and I was about to send someone to invite the second younger sibling. The rules are very loose, and the master is merciful, so he has raised a bunch of slaves, so it can be seen that it is better to discipline the servants with leniency and strictness, a soft heart will only mess up the dignity and dignity."

Mrs. Cui has something to say.The two sisters-in-law have been fighting each other for a long time, and they both know that they are not easy to deal with.

The Second Madam Cui frowned slightly, with a compassionate and weak expression on her face: "Sister-in-law, let the younger brothers and sisters say something presumptuously: You have to be strict when you are strict. Our Cui family is a family of poets, ceremonies and hairpins, no more than those poor and poor families I have always done good deeds of building bridges, paving roads, and helping the poor. There is a saying in "Book of Changes": A family that accumulates goodness will surely have Yuqing;

Mrs. Cui had a half-smile expression on her face when she heard the words, she flicked the non-existing dust on her sleeves with the tips of her fingernails dyed Yinhong Koudan, and her tone was full of contempt: "It turns out that the second younger brother and sister also read "Book of Changes", I also remember a few sentences: Jade is a thing, its nature is firm and rigid, its color is warm and moist, and its virtue is similar to that of rigidity. Hyun is on the top, hard and soft. It means that the combination of hardness and softness means that everything you do is auspicious and beneficial. This is also in line with the Buddhist method of vajra and the heart of a Bodhisattva. I would like to advise my brothers and sisters, if there is no Ksitigarbha in this world Bodhisattvas can't bear it in hell, and this world is not going to be messed up!"

Not only did Second Madam Cui fail to become a Bodhisattva, but she was also satirized by Madam Cui in front of these prestigious officials. The veil in her hand was almost crumpled, and her deer eyes were full of sarcasm: "Sister-in-law Self-proclaimed Bodhisattva heart, vajra skills, in the eyes of younger brothers and sisters, you are probably that bloodthirsty jade-faced Rakshasa in the eyes of these servants!"

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Cui snarled, and scolded Mrs. Cui's head and face: "As a sister-in-law, you insult your sister-in-law and second younger siblings in public, what a way of being a wife! I said how popular in the house recently Floating, it turned out to be like learning from the master! In this mansion, there is no more dignity!"

Mrs. Cui's fierce gaze scanned the servants in the courtyard, and wherever her gaze passed, the rest of them lowered their heads respectfully, only the young servants in the Discipline Hall continued to swing their sticks.

Mrs. Cui was caught by Mrs. Cui because she lost her words in a moment of anger. Facing Mrs. Cui's merciless scolding, even though she was very angry, she didn't dare to refute. Madam apologized: "Sister-in-law, I was in a hurry just now and offended sister-in-law by making a slip of the tongue. You are the most magnanimous, please don't bother with me."

"You can bend and stretch!" Mrs. Cui blew on her bright red nails, and her plump and moist lips were slightly raised, showing a little sweet smile, but her tone was extremely mocking: "Second brother and sister, I am in your eyes." There are times when you are ruthless, and sometimes you are generous, but kindness becomes strict! It’s just younger siblings, you’re wrong, I’m not as duplicitous as you!”

She straightened her sleeves, and she was no longer in the mood to continue watching the torture. Before she left, she said: "It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I must go to the Liu Mansion to ask for advice when I spare some time. Their daughter Have you ever read "Four Books for Women" before leaving the cabinet!"

After speaking, he walked away, leaving Mrs. Cui standing there with a bluish face.

Mrs. Cui finished her dinner by herself, and the maid had just finished clearing the table when Cui Zheng entered the door with a dusty face.

After changing into her pajamas, Mrs. Cui hurriedly went up to her, her tone of surprise and reproach: "Master came back suddenly, why didn't you send someone to tell me, have you eaten dinner yet?"

"Let's not talk about this for now." Cui Zheng waved away the girl who came forward to serve him, took off his outer robe, and ordered in a cold voice: "Everyone go down." The gentle and refined eyebrows unexpectedly showed a trace of anxiety.

Mrs. Cui quickly winked at Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin put the sapphire lotus washbasin filled with warm water on the low table beside her, and led the maids out in a file.

The inner door was closed.

Mrs. Cui rolled up her sleeves, fastened the cuffs with plum-blossom gold arms, and twisted the handkerchief herself to serve Cui Zhengjing's face.

"Madam, I'll do it myself." Even though Cui Zheng was in a bad mood, he was not willing to let his wife do these servant jobs.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cui didn't give in to him, she poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her husband's lips, her gentle words revealed a bit of rebuke: "You don't need to worry about such a big thing, don't worry about getting burned. Gan, you are a person who sits around and looks around."

Cui Zheng smiled wryly.
