"Miss Mu, please spare us. We won't do it again.”The maids who had mocked Mu Qingyi earlier all kowtowed and begged for mercy, afraid that they would be beaten like Red Kite.
Twenty slaps was not a small number. Even a man would find it difficult to bear. If they were to suffer, they would probably be crippled if not dead.
At this moment, their intestines were green with regret. They thought that if there was a medicine for regret in this world, they would definitely spend all their savings to buy it.
They could only blame themselves for being blind. They had thought that his highness was stupid and that the housekeeper could not do anything to them. This future wangfei should also be easy to bully.
However, at this moment, they realized that they had made a huge mistake. If they had known that this day would come, they would have behaved themselves.
Mu Qingyi's expression did not change at all when she heard the maidservants begging for mercy on the ground. She just looked at the people on the ground coldly.
When their bodies were shaking like a sieve, Mu Qingyi said coldly,""Anyone who said the word 'fool' just now, slap yourself twenty times.”
The maidservants on the ground could not help but be startled, and their faces were filled with reluctance.
When Mu Qingyi saw this, her lips curled into a cold smile. Then, she slowly said,""Twenty slaps and twenty slaps, you choose.”
When the servant girls heard this, they could not help but cower. Then, they were extremely unwilling. However, in order not to be beaten, they did not dare to hesitate anymore.
Under Mu Qingyi's watchful gaze, the maids had no choice but to be ruthless and did not dare to slack off.
The crisp sound of a slap spread throughout the entire front courtyard. When the other servant girls saw this, they were afraid and at the same time, they could not help but feel glad. Sometimes, trouble came from the mouth.
After the maids slapped her, Mu Qingyi said to Lin De in a deep voice,""Steward, inform the accountant to deduct three months of these people's salary.”
"Miss Mu!"
As soon as Mu Qingyi finished speaking, a servant girl wanted to speak, but she did not dare to speak after meeting Mu Qingyi's gaze.
Mu Qingyi looked at the servant girl and said lightly,""If you don't want to deduct your monthly salary, you can pay the silver and leave.”
As soon as he said this, the servant girls lowered their heads and did not say anything else.
Because they knew very well that if they left the Imperial Residence, they would only die.
Mu Qingyi saw that the maidservants had quieted down and could not help but look up at the others. She said coldly,""From now on, if there is anyone in the residence who disobeys the master, disrespects the master, or speaks ill of the master in secret, they will be severely punished.”
As soon as he said this, the servants lowered their heads one by one.
Lin De looked at the situation and almost burst into tears. His impression of Mu Qingyi improved.
Mu Qingyi was obviously very satisfied with today's results, so the coldness in her eyes slowly dissipated. Then, she turned around and walked towards Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo was frowning as he looked at Mu Qingyi with fear in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi's heart tightened. However, she quickly calmed down and walked towards Nangong Mo.
Standing in front of Nangong Mo, Mu Qingyi looked into his eyes and asked,""Are you afraid of me?"
Nangong Mo's personality was still relatively simple at the moment. He would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing her punish his subordinates. However, if he was afraid of her because of this, then she would leave.
Even so, she did not regret what she had done today. Thinking of this, Mu Qingyi focused even more on Nangong Mo, not missing any expression on Nangong Mo's face.
Hearing Mu Qingyi's question, Nangong Mo's brows furrowed. He thought about it seriously for a while, then looked at Mu Qingyi and smiled.""I'm not afraid of Qing Yi."
Hearing Nangong Mo's answer, Mu Qingyi finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, she still asked,""I hit someone today. Why aren't you afraid of me?”
I believe in Qing Yi." Nangong Mo said with certainty and without hesitation.
When Mu Qingyi heard this, she could not help but smile. She felt warm in her heart. What was more important than his trust?
"Let's go back to the Raindrop Yard." Mu Qingyi said as she held Nangong Mo's hand.
Nangong Mo nodded and held Mu Qingyi's hand.
Just as he was about to leave, Mu Qingyi suddenly turned to Lin De and said,""Help me choose a few obedient maids to help out in the Raindrop Yard.”
Previously, because the situation was rather special, there were no maidservants arranged in the Rain Listening Courtyard. Only Mo Zhu and Lin De were busy.
At this time, Nangong Mo's poison had also stabilized. It was time to send a few servant girls into the Raindrop Courtyard to help.
After hearing Mu Qingyi's words, Lin De agreed without any hesitation. Lin De felt very happy at this moment. He had a feeling that King Yu's Mansion was going to change in the future.
Two hours later, the Emperor had already heard about what happened in King Yu's Mansion.
In the royal study, the Emperor was in a good mood. He said to Eunuch Zhang,""You see, I really didn't misjudge you.”
"Your Majesty has discerning eyes, how could you be wrong?”Eunuch Zhang smiled and said,"In this servant's opinion, Miss Mu's ten pretty good women are of this status."
When the Emperor heard this, his face could not help but sink. He said to Eunuch Zhang,""Don't mention this matter of identity. It's also very good for Mo 'er to have her help now. Could it be that you can expect some young lady to marry Mo' er willingly?”
As Nangong Qi spoke, he recalled what happened at the banquet that day and couldn't help but say,""Although Murong Mingyue's status is higher than Mu Qingyi's, she dared to look down on my son.”
At this point, Emperor Nangong Qi's eyes could not help but flash with anger. Ever since he ascended the throne, no one had dared to brush him off like that.
The reason why he had spent so much money to buy a dowry for Mu Qingyi this time was firstly because he did not want others to laugh at his Mo 'er. Secondly, he wanted to make those officials jealous.
Didn't everyone laugh at his son for being a fool? He wanted to let them know that even if Mo 'er was a fool, he was still his most beloved son. He wanted to see who would dare to bully him in the future.
As for the Murongs,
Nangong Qi's eyes narrowed slightly. He already had a plan in mind.
Eunuch Zhang didn't know that the Emperor's mind had been whirling at this moment. He only knew that his words had angered Shengyan. He couldn't help but kneel down and say in panic,""Your Majesty, please calm down. This servant said something wrong. This servant deserves to die.”
Nangong Qi only glanced at Eunuch Zhang before saying,""Don't stay here and die. Go down first.”
Seeing that the Emperor did not blame him, Eunuch Zhang could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He then bowed and left the royal study.
However, Eunuch Zhang had not gone out for long before he walked in again.
"Why are you here again?" Nangong Qi could not help but frown when he saw Eunuch Zhang return.
"Reporting to the emperor, Consort Chen is outside the royal study seeking an audience. I wonder if the emperor will meet her or not?”Eunuch Zhang asked carefully.
When Nangong Qi heard this, he was about to say no when he suddenly thought of something and asked,""Did Consort Chen say why she came?”
"Your Majesty, Consort Chen said that she wanted to discuss something related to King Mu with Your Majesty.”Eunuch Zhang said truthfully.
When Nangong Qi heard this, he pondered for a moment before waving his hand and saying,""Consort Xuan Chen, come in."
