The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Shi Yao had no way of knowing the details.

She only knew that her elder brother and sister-in-law's divorce could no longer be concealed, so she went around the house to persuade them to reconcile, which also alarmed the Fu family.

The old Duke and the Duke were accompanying their in-laws who had come to visit them in a threatening manner, and did not receive the news of Shi Yao's attack in time.

By the time they learned that Shi Yao had reported the case, the case had already ended with Shi Minghui beating his long-time attendant Tian Zhi to death in public.

When Zhenguogong Shi Jimian hurried to Jingzhao Prefecture and brought back Shi Mingwei and his three brothers, the Fu family in the prefecture had already taken Fu Nanjun back to her parents' home.

All day long, the Duke of Zhenguo was like a mouse in a bellows, jumping here and there, but neither side was stable. You can imagine how upset he was.

Mu Xiang sighed, "…The young lady has been attacked by hooligans, and the prince is seeking a divorce. The old lady is so angry that she is sick and can't get up. She sent this servant to tell the young lady that she will definitely take charge of the grievances suffered by the young lady. The old master has spoken, and the second, seventh and eighth masters must be severely punished. The young lady should rest and recover from her illness, and don't be frightened."

Shi Yao has self-awareness.

The old Duke was annoyed that the three Shi Mingwei brothers were incompetent, and he punished them in the hope that they would restrain themselves and not act recklessly, not because she was wronged.

But the old Duke must be more annoyed that his granddaughter reported the case and exposed the family's dirty laundry.

Shi Yao said timidly, "No one expected to encounter a scoundrel. My courage at that time was lost, and my hands and feet are still shaking with fear. Is the long-servant named Tian Zhi... dead?"

There was fear in her eyes.

Muxiang was also afraid, but she was just a little servant. When her masters got into trouble, she had to run errands no matter how scared she was. She couldn't be like Shi Yao, who closed her eyes, lay on the bed, and didn't care about anything. The elders would make decisions for her, worry about her being frightened, and call for doctors and medicine for her.

Mu Xiang had seen Shi Yao's decisiveness in killing, so she didn't believe her cowardice at this moment. She comforted her perfunctorily, "She is still alive and waiting to be interrogated by the Jingzhao prefect. Don't be afraid, young lady, she is not dead."

Shi Yao laughed secretly.

Not dead? Why did the guard who was testing his breath change his expression?

Shi Minghui was vicious and wanted to take Tian Zhi's life.

Tian Zhi was almost beaten into a pile of rotten flesh, the ground was covered with blood, and his head was hit hard by sticks many times. If he didn't die, he would be made of a solid wall.

Mu Xiang's eyes flickered, and she continued, "Second Master said that Tian Zhi, that bastard, said that Cui Xiang Yuan had fine wine and beautiful women, and he urged him to go to Cui Xiang Yuan for fun.

As for the Second Master, he did not intentionally take away all the guards to protect the house. He thought that there were not many people in that alley and the girl would not be in any danger. On the contrary, he himself often got into trouble outside, owed debts to gambling houses, and offended the children of wealthy families. Therefore, he brought guards with him to avoid being beaten by others.

The girl is in danger because Tian Zhi made a mistake a few days ago and the Second Master scolded him in public. He was not convinced and came to harm the girl and frame the Second Master. "

Shi Yao nodded, her eyes slightly red. "Sister Muxiang, you don't need to explain. I know everything. Our Duke's Mansion is famous for its deep brotherly love and brotherly friendship throughout the capital. No matter how wrong it is, it's all the fault of that servant, and it has nothing to do with Second Brother. What's more, Eighth Brother beat Tian Zhi to vent my anger. I was impulsive and hot-blooded at the time, and I misunderstood Second Brother and beat him. I will go and apologize to him later."

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "The girl is an understanding person."

She squeezed Shi Yao's hand, suppressed her pity, and said goodbye to go to Ganlu Hall to reply.

Shi Yao lay down again.

The kang is warm. In the winter in Beijing, this big kang is her favorite.

My mind was in a mess. One moment it was the gangsters who hijacked the car, the next moment it was her who slashed people with a knife, and the next moment it was Shi Minghui who beat Tian Zhi to death with a stick, blood splattering...

The raped maids and old women were sent to farms in the suburbs, and Shannai was among them.

Now, there was no one to serve in her house. There were only four little maids around ten years old. They served tea and water, and their words and deeds had never been disciplined. They were much worse than the teenage maids.

Shi Yao lamented in her heart, how could she bear to employ child laborers.

She is indeed unlucky with maids.

Feudal society is cannibalistic.

Just as I was worrying, Muxiang came back, her hands and feet stiff: "The old lady said that there is no one to serve the second young lady here, so she asked me to stay in Guanju Courtyard temporarily to serve the second young lady."

Muxiang was also helpless.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shi Yao was not favored. Except for the lady-in-waiting who showed some pity for her, no one else in the Shi family liked her. The old Duke had clearly said that everyone in the Shi family should favor Shi Mingzhu, but he had never said anything similar to Shi Yao.

She wanted to repay Shi Yao for saving her life, but she didn't want to come to Shi Yao's yard to serve her.

Who knows when everything will stop and when she can go back to Ganlu Hall.

Shi Yao's eyes lit up, and she held Mu Xiang's hand and said, "My dear sister, with you here, those evil spirits will never dare to cause trouble again!"

Muxiang smiled bitterly.

Once she left Ganlu Hall, she was just an ordinary maid. Who would care about her?

Even though she was reluctant, there was nothing she could do. Since she was already here and had handed over the key to Ganlu Hall's storehouse, she could only do her duty as a maid.

With Muxiang around, order was quickly restored in Guanju Courtyard, and the maids and old women no longer ran around like headless flies.

Shi Yao felt relieved and felt that saving Muxiang was the right decision.

No words were spoken that night.

?

Early the next morning, Shi Yao came to Ganlu Hall to pay her respects to the lady.

Today, all the men and women, young and old, mothers and daughters-in-law who can come are present in Ganlu Hall.

My eldest sister-in-law Fu Nanjun has gone back to her parents' home and is not here.

Shi Mingzhu is recuperating and is not here.

The three brothers Shi Mingwei, Shi Mingchen and Shi Minghui are not here.

The eldest brother Shi Mingwu stood with his hands hanging down, and there were three scratches on his neck, as if they were caused by fingernails.

The second sister-in-law, Le An Ning, appeared wearing a veil. When she saw Shi Yao coming in, she glared at her angrily.

The Duke's wife, Madam Zheng, and the third Madam Rong, pulled their faces long and glared at him coldly.

The third master Shi Jianan puffed his beard and glared again.

When Shi Yao entered the room, she felt like she had entered a government office where three judges were holding trials. Fortunately, she had anticipated this, so she lowered her head, stepped forward with a look of fear, and saluted.

The old Duke stood up and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is here, follow me to the ancestral hall."

The cold snow shines on the window, and the cold moon reflects on the withered bamboo.

The moon had not yet set, and the snow reflected the moonlight. The servants held up lanterns to lead the way, making the snowy night as bright as day.

The lady reached out her hand to Shi Yao, who hurried forward and supported her.

The lady patted the back of her hand gently, silently comforting her.

Shi Yao felt a warm feeling in her heart and a sore nose.

The group walked quietly through the corridors, alleys, and several moon-shaped gates, and arrived at a dark, solemn and dignified courtyard.

There were servants guarding outside the courtyard.

The leading butler came forward with a lantern, and everyone saw three shadows kneeling in the snow in the yard.

Shi Mingwei.

Shi Mingchen.

Shi Minghui.

The old Duke and the old lady walked to the front, stopped between the three kneeling brothers, turned around, and glanced at everyone one by one.

The old Duke fixed his eyes on Shi Yao, and shouted in a stern and impartial manner, "Why don't you kneel down!"
