Chapter 91: Punish the evil slave!
Nanny Zhang felt sorry for her old master and also resented Li Qingwan for dismissing her nephew, so her words were a little harsh. "If Madam hadn't told the old lady about the troubles in the palace, how could the old lady be so sad that she fainted?"
"Bastard thing!"
Her words directly angered Li Qingwan, but Aunt Zhang still acted like an old lady, "Madam, I am telling the truth, why are you angry?"
"Madam Zhang, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Your nephew was indeed dealt with by me. I can understand that you are resentful of me, but how can you sow discord between us?"
"Madam, this old slave definitely doesn't mean that!"
"No, then you are arbitrarily putting the blame for the old lady's illness on me. Is that reasonable?"
"This……"
"Also, you are the old lady's personal maid, and you have been with her for half your life. Now that the old lady is so ill, have you fulfilled your responsibility to take care of her?"
"Madam, old slave..."
"Madam Zhang, I am very disappointed in you. I thought you could take good care of the old lady until the day she died, but I didn't expect you to start slacking off. It seems that I can't keep you!"
"Li Qingwan, what do you want to do? I am the old lady's dowry maid. When I entered Sima Mansion, you didn't even know where to get breastfed. Why do you want to drive me away?"
"You are so arrogant, it's all because of you!"
Li Qingwan stood up immediately, "Ayue, why don't you come in?"
What, young master?
Outside, Sima Yue had arrived earlier. Zi'er told him that Nanny Zhang was unfaithful to his mother, but he didn't believe it. So, he came here to eavesdrop on their conversation. But he didn't expect that Nanny Zhang would dare to take advantage of her seniority and bully Qingwan?
It's worth it!
Sima Yue immediately strode forward and asked, "Madam Zhang, what did you just say to Qingwan?"
"Sir, calm down. I have no intention of offending my superiors. I just feel sorry for the old lady. Isn't it your fault that the old lady has become like this?"
"How dare you say that!"
Sima Yue naturally knew that his mother was angry with Xiuzhu, but he did not expect that this Nanny Zhang would dare to disobey Qingwan and slander her. Although he knew that Nanny Zhang was a maid brought by his mother as a dowry, this was the first time he saw her treating the maid of the mistress of the house so arrogantly!
Aunt Zhang immediately knew that she had been tricked by Li Qingwan. She had never dreamed that the young master would eavesdrop outside, so...
She was tricked by this vicious woman, what a scary woman. She would wait for the old lady to wake up and tell the lady that Li Qingwan was no longer the obedient stepping stone!
"Sir, calm down. I know I am guilty!"
Nanny Zhang was afraid that if she continued to make a fuss, Li Qingwan would really drive her away, so she chose to admit her mistake and stay with the old lady. When the old lady woke up, she would tell her about this woman's change of heart and ask her to find a way to deal with it quickly and take back her rights as mistress. Otherwise, the Sima family would be defeated by this woman!
"Qingwan, you see, Aunt Zhang has already admitted her mistake. After all, she is my mother's dowry maid. Why don't you give her a chance and forgive her this time?"
Sima Yue naturally didn't want to drive away Nanny Zhang. After all, Nanny had watched him grow up, and for the sake of his mother, he couldn't drive her away.
However, Li Qingwan also followed his wishes and drove the old man away. Wasn't that too good of a deal for her?
This old man also had a share of the credit for killing her back then, how could he let her retire like this?
How can you do this without losing a layer of skin?
"Ayue, I don't want to argue with her, but you heard her talking back to the mistress, so she needs to be taught a lesson!"
What, you want to teach Aunt Zhang a lesson?
Sima Yue was a little nervous, "Qingwan, what lesson are you talking about?"
"The state has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Aunt Zhang must be punished for talking back to me like this. For my mother's sake, I will drag her out and give her thirty lashes to serve as a warning to others!"
"Thirty lashes?"
"Madam, please spare my life!"
When Aunt Zhang learned that she would be beaten with thirty sticks, she was terrified and kept kowtowing to her, but Li Qingwan was very persistent, "I only give you two choices, either pack up and leave, or accept the punishment. The Sima family has not been defeated yet, and there is no order without rules!"
"This……"
Sima Yue wanted to plead, "Qingwan, she is so old, thirty strokes of the cane would probably kill her. Besides, she still has to take care of her mother, you see..."
"Don't worry, Ah Yue. Thirty strokes of the cane won't kill someone. At most, it will only injure him. Such a crude old man will be fine soon. As for taking care of mother, she won't be needed for the time being. I have already found someone. Before Nanny Zhang gets better, let other maids do it."
What? Sima Yue didn’t expect that Li Qingwan had already made arrangements?
"I have found a candidate. Who?"
"come in!"
A maid walked in and bowed to them. "Greetings, sir. Madam, my name is Chunhua. I am twenty years old this year. I am very skillful and will definitely take good care of the old lady."
Hearing this, Sima Yue suddenly realized that Qingwan had already planned to replace Nanny Zhang. At this moment, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her again.
How could she replace her mother without her mother's consent?
"Qingwan, this person looks good, but you know my mother's temper. When she wakes up and faces a girl she doesn't recognize, I'm afraid she will..."
"Chunhua is only here temporarily. Once Aunt Zhang recovers from her injury, she will continue to serve you. Is there any problem?"
"This……"
"Someone, take Aunt Zhang down and give her thirty lashes!"
"No, please spare me, my lord, please spare me, my lady!"
Nanny Zhang regrets a lot now. She shouldn't have contradicted that woman Li Qingwan on impulse. Now, is she going to sideline the old lady?
Soon, the sound of Nanny Zhang's screams was heard outside, and Li Qingwan saw that the weather was getting bad, and she still had things to do. Mu Shenyin said that there was business waiting for her to discuss.
She is now doing two things at the same time, emptying the Sima family of everything, and running her own business. In time, the silk belonging to her, Li Qingwan, will soon be available!
"Chunhua, take good care of the old lady. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely. Do you understand?"
Chunhua was the maid she found. She seemed to be there to take care of the old woman, but in fact she was just a pair of eyes for her and could explain the old woman's every move for her in the future. To be on the safe side, she wanted to replace Nanny Zhang completely.
She knew very well that thirty lashes of cane would not kill her, and she was of no use at her age!
Outside, dusk was falling.
After Li Qingwan and her men left, Nanny Zhang was also knocked unconscious. Sima Yue immediately had someone send her to the hospital for treatment. At this time, Sima Guling came hurriedly, looking indignant, "Brother Yue, I heard that Li Qingwan beat Nanny Zhang. Is this true?"
