37 years old, I became a harem concubine

The old lady Tao was heartbroken. She knelt on the ground, walked to Shen Huan's feet, and hugged Shen Huan's feet: "Madam, my servant has been working hard for so many years. How dare I do what Qin Zhong said? He just watched I am not used to slaves doing their best to their masters, and I want my slaves to go away and turn the kitchen into his talk hall, so my wife must not be deceived by his sweet words."

She cried so heart-warmingly, and spoke with sincerity, but Shen Huan only said to Qin Zhong: "Since you said that, then you and the people around me will go and find out what you said."

"Catch thieves and filth, catch rape and double, without evidence, I don't take sides with anyone."

"But I have something to say first, if you really wronged her, you can't escape this punishment."

Qin Zhong's tone was firm: "If the young one really wronged Mrs. Tao, you don't need to tell the wife, just leave the kitchen immediately and let the wife deal with it."

"Okay, Mrs. Wu, you go with Qin Zhong."

"Yes." Mrs. Wu left with Qin Zhong, and the old woman Tao who was kneeling at Shen Huan's feet went limp.

In her heart, she begged the Bodhisattva to bless her son to be quick and took all those things back.

But this time the Bodhisattva didn't open his eyes either. Qin Zhong and Mrs. Wu came back after a while. Qin Zhong was holding a big sack in his hand and dumped the contents on the ground in front of everyone: "Please look, ma'am, these It’s what the little one and Aunt Wu found under the old lady Tao’s bed, this is bird’s nest, this is ginseng, they haven’t had time to take them to the kitchen, and they also found something that was exchanged in her room.”

A sack of the so-called high-quality bird's nest and ginseng. The quality of the bird's nest can be seen to be poor, broken into pieces, and the bird's hair inside has not been picked clean, but the ginseng can't be seen.

Qin Zhong knew the way to do this, and took one to Shen Huan: "Madam doesn't know, these radishes are first carefully selected, and they are specially found to be about the same size as ginseng and similar in shape, and then boiled and dried three times. , and finally shaped by hand by counterfeiters, and sold to specialized people in the market.”

"However, no matter how much these radish ginsengs look like ginseng, they are also fake. First of all, their beards are less and thicker than real ginseng. Secondly, their taste is not pure, and their texture is also similar to that of real ginseng. Ginseng is different."

In order to facilitate Shen Huan's identification, Qin Zhong deliberately took a real ginseng beside him, and after a closer look, it was indeed as he said.

Shen Huan raised her hand to let him step aside, and asked the old woman Tao who was almost paralyzed into mud: "What else do you have to say, do you recognize what Qin Zhong said?"

Old lady Tao woke up like a dream: "Madam... Madam..."

She howled twice, didn't mention those bird's nests and ginseng, just said blindly: "I beg the old lady to see for the sake of grandma, please spare this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time, this time. .”

This time the crying was much louder than before, but Shen Huan squinted her eyes: "You said, for the sake of grandma? What kind of relatives are you and grandma? I need to give grandma face."

The old lady Tao seemed to be grabbing the last straw, crying and crying: "The slave is the dowry of the eldest grandma, and the grandma loves the slave the most."

"Okay," Shen Huan backed away, stood on the steps, and looked at the people in the yard, "Since you said that you are the dowry of the eldest grandma, then I will not spare you today, you guys, hold her down, After beating her thirty sticks, sell the house, and anyone who intercedes for her will also be sold!"

The old lady Tao didn't expect such a result when she moved out of the backer, she yelled sadly: "Old lady, you can't do this, grandma—"

"Don't stop her mouth, let her slander Grandma's innocence, Grandma is the most kind, how can she raise such a rich and self-sufficient food!"

A few servants rushed up to cover Old Madam Tao's mouth, tied her hands and feet, and began to follow orders.

The stick with a thick wrist fell on her body, and the dull sound made the people in the yard terrified, and the old lady Tao didn't even have a chance to turn over.

Slave servants like them, once sold by their masters, are worse than animals, and their lower bodies don't know where they will go.

After hitting thirty sticks, the old lady Tao had passed out. Shen Huan let people drag her out and told everyone that from now on, Qin Zhong would be the manager of the Chen family's kitchen.

Qin Zhong blushed with excitement, and said loudly: "The little one will definitely live up to the old lady's trust."

Then he took the ten taels of warm winter silver from Haruko.

The crowd became noisy, and after a while, the third and fourth people stood up.

Minghuitang beat many people with sticks, and all the money in the box was spent like running water.

At night, after a busy day, Shen Huan leaned on the kang, with a pine green pillow stuffed behind her back, and a thick quilt covering her legs.

Qingzi squeezed his shoulders and said: "Even if I was given 50 years, I can't think of such a good idea. You haven't seen it, old lady. Qin Zhong and the others can't stop praising you for being rewarded, saying that you are fair. , the punishment is clear, and he also said that he will honor you well in the future."

Wu also felt that today's matter was done beautifully. She took a comb to Shen Huan's hair and asked Shen Huan, "What will Madam do next?"

Shen Huan stretched lazily like a cat: "Don't worry, the knife has just been inserted, and it will take some time before it can go deep."

Haruko didn't understand these things, but it didn't stop her from feeling that her wife was good everywhere: "Today, Liu Zi and Qin Zhong came too timely. At first, I didn't know which song my wife was going to sing. Everything fits together like flowing water."

Shen Huan looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "I think you girl will only follow me in the future, and I don't worry about putting it with others."

"Huh?" Haruko was at a loss.

Wu was helpless: "You stupid girl really think that Liu Zi and Qin Zhong did this by themselves."

"Isn't it?"

"You still don't understand?" Wu Shi was also shocked.

Shen Huan was rolling with laughter beside her, and the two of them said and agreed, and they looked better than the opera singers on stage.

So Mrs. Wu could only make it clear: "The sixth son and Qin Zhong were both told by their wife in advance, otherwise you think they would take the risk to make such a move."

Only then did Haruko understand what they were laughing at, and since they were sensible people, she kept herself in the dark.

Haruko was furious, feeling that she was treated as an outsider.

Shen Huan hurriedly comforted her: "Look, look, you can't hold back anything with this face. If I tell you that you will definitely reveal your secrets today, how can our show continue?"

"Okay, eat a piece of honey, and I will be your wife to quench your fire."

The skirt immediately beamed with joy, and said with sugar in her mouth, "It's so sweet to my heart, I want one more."

Seeing his greedy appearance, Shen Huan was overjoyed, and put the plate of honey into her hand: "It's all yours, no one will snatch it from you."

Holding the plate, Haruko asked Shen Huan: "How did Madam come up with this step? I'm not afraid that Liu Zi and Qin Zhong will not stand by your side."

Shen Huan said: "Where there are people, there are all kinds of thoughts. These thoughts are for others and for myself. As long as I grasp their thoughts and know what they want, I will give them what they want, and they will be happy." Become a sharp weapon in my hand and achieve my goal."

Don't look at this small Chen Mansion, the water inside is deep

Haruko still half understood.

Wu Shi smiled at the side without saying a word.

Shen Huan patted Haruko on the head: "Don't make things difficult for you little brain, go to sleep, you still have to struggle tomorrow."

They slept soundly, but the rest of the house were tossing and turning.

Jia's face turned ashen, and he smashed the thin-necked porcelain bottle at hand: "Tell me what she wants to do? That old lady Tao has been with me for many years, but she was confused for a while, and took something from the kitchen, and he and she Without even asking, they sold off the person, is the Chen family surnamed Chen or Shen?!"

Chen Ping, who had been listening to her talking about it all night, threw the melon seeds in his hand: "You know in your heart what kind of thing that old lady Tao is, and you blame the old lady for punishing her? If you want me to say, it's fine if you don't beat her to death on the spot." of."

She undoubtedly slapped Jia Shi twice in the face, and Jia Shi was furious: "I know you and that old whore are of the same mind, you think her fart is delicious, but you Chen Ping, don't forget, Even if you stuff yourself under his feet, he won't step on you, a stone in the toilet."

Chen Ping annoyed her the most by saying these things: "Here we go again, here we go again, I'm talking about you every day, if I don't bother me, I'll be annoyed."

"What's bothering you? You're annoying. You know how to take money from me every day to prostitute, drink, and gamble. Why don't you think about where all the money comes from? Could it be that the sky in your Chen's house can drop money?" No way?" "I'm telling you, don't think you are clean, the money I got from the mansion is still spent on you."

"Okay, you read it, I'm leaving, read it as you like."

Of course Chen Ping knew what he said, but he knew it. In his heart, these things were all Jia Shi himself was willing to do. He had no influence on him, and what happened was none of his business.

Looking at Chen Ping's leaving back, Jia Shi hated him so much that a teacup fell on the ground and shattered to the ground.

She looked at the door and murmured silently: "No one else wanted your life, but you want to get into my hands, then you can't blame me."

The wind shook the candle, and the candle light flickered on Jia Shi's face.

Early the next morning, Minghui Hall was full of people.

The masters of the first room, the second room, and the third room, the juniors, all came, and many people came to greet Shen Huan.

Shen Huan, who was dug out of the bed by Wu Shi, looked at so many people in the room, smiled and said: "It's really not necessary to put on such a big show, just the same as before."

Yan's sycophant leaned forward: "The old lady did a really good job yesterday. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that the bird's nest we ate was bad, and the ginseng we ate was radish."

"From now on, I'll see who dares to obey others."

"Second brother and sister are so clever. I don't know, but I thought the old lady was your own mother. How much money did you give you?" Jia Shi said in a tone-deaf manner.

Yan opened her mouth and choked back: "The old lady didn't give me any money, but with the old lady here, we don't need to eat those rotten things, yo, speaking of it, the old lady Tao who did the scandal is someone close to my sister-in-law. Woolen cloth."
