Chapter 49: Controlling the Emperor
Wen Yao saw that Jueluo's face was more worried when she talked about these things, so she simply pulled Jueluo out. Some problems are more terrifying when they are discussed in the unknown, not to mention that the one who has to face the unknown is her own daughter. "Mother, let's go see how the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are doing? What do you want to do with Jixi?"
"This is what mother is asking you. We just talked about the Jixi issue. Actually, Jixi is capable, and she has been trusted over the years because she has climbed up step by step. But it is true that she is too ambitious and wants to control you. You asked mother how to deal with it. Mother has her own way, but you have to think about how you are going to deal with this matter first. You will encounter many similar things in the future." Jueluo and Wen Yao were walking, and she whispered the truth to her daughter as she walked.
"Mother, I have thought about this matter. I originally wanted to deal with it after returning to the palace, marginalizing Jixi and making full use of her medical skills. But just now I heard that she didn't take her daughter seriously at all. I think she can't return to the palace, so I will stay in the mansion. If you say deal with it," Wen Yao thought seriously, "Mother, now you ask about the treatment of Jixi, I think we should cancel Cheng Bo's position as the manager, and Jixi should start from the lowest servant."
"His son is also the lowest-ranking servant and can be promoted, but Chengbo and Jixi cannot be promoted." Wen Yao would not really execute Jixi. Jixi was an old man in the mansion and many servants were watching him. He could not be punished too severely to dishearten the servants, but he could also not punish them, otherwise it would not be enough to serve as a warning to them.
"It's not enough." Jueluo glanced at Wen Yao, then smiled and looked forward. "This is too light a punishment for bullying the master. Jiazhi's family will be beaten with ten boards, Jixi will be beaten with twenty boards, and the whole family will be fined one year's monthly salary."
Wen Yao understood that this was something that they had to remember thoroughly, both physically and mentally. As she said this, she saw her second brother already beating Jixi. Cheng Bo was standing next to her and couldn't get up. Jixi listened to his son's screams and kept begging for mercy...
"Mother, sister, why are you here?" Tominaga spoke first when he saw his mother and sister coming over with Xiaojueluo.
"Madam, I was wrong...ah...I was wrong. Please spare my son. I am willing to die to atone for my sin..." Jixi screamed loudly when she saw Wen Yao coming.
Xiao Jueluo was about to speak when Wen Yao raised her hand to stop her. Wen Yao walked over, stood in front of Jixi, slowly squatted down, and said in a low voice: "Do you think I am still the lady who was afraid of the dark before? Can I still be controlled by you and know nothing? Jixi, are you hating me? Do you know that although I am not smart, I can't hide your emotional ups and downs from you?" She smiled lightly, slowly stood up in Jixi's disbelieving eyes, and her expression changed.
Wen Yao looked sympathetic and sighed, looking a little angry. "Jixi, although you want to be the master and want to humiliate me, the Ninth Lady, you have served me for many years after all, and Cheng Bo has been loyal to me in the mansion all these years. Only you have the heart of being the master and I have concealed it for you. You are unkind, and we cannot be unjust."
"I won't kill you. You can stay in the mansion from now on. The relationship between master and servant between us will be severed," Wen Yao felt reluctant but pretended to be strong. Xiao Jueluo blinked, quickly seized the opportunity and ran up.
Xiao Jueluo seized the opportunity to support Wen Yao, "Sister, I will help you go back and rest. You don't have to be soft-hearted towards such a thoughtful servant." The sister pretended very well, and she almost thought that the sister was soft-hearted!
"Let's go back. I'll leave this to the second brother," Jueluo's expression was no longer gentle. She took a deep look at Jixi and whispered as she passed by Fuyong, "Be more tolerant and leave it for later."
"Son, I understand," Tominaga smiled. Killing is not about chopping off heads with a knife. In a family like theirs, there is no need for the masters to do anything with their hands or mouths. As long as there is any sign, there are servants who will do it for them.
That's what it means to kill people without them knowing.
What's more, this is Jixi, who has offended many people. Tominaga knows very well how to deal with this family. As for Chengbo, he will not kill him, but if the grass is not uprooted, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Wen Yao and Yinzhen returned to the palace after having lunch at Dong'e's house. Inside the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had already received the news that the news of Yinzhen returning home with the Ninth Concubine had spread. Fortunately, several families worked together to control the matter. Everyone knew that Yinzhen was going to Nianhulu's house "on the way", but he forgot about it while eating dried meat in the car!
"Ninth brother! My reputation is gone! Gone! Gone!" Yin Yu rushed to his ninth brother as soon as he saw his ninth brother and his wife coming back, shouting in grievance, "Ninth brother, the rumor is that your dear tenth brother forgot to get off the carriage because of the dried meat!"
He is Baturu, a strong and powerful Baturu who is both civil and military. In the future, he will attract ladies from various families. It will be so embarrassing if his reputation gets out. How can he attract people?
"Get out of my way! You still dare to say that all the books you read went into the stomach of the fourth son's son, Baifu?" Yinzhen gritted his teeth when he thought of what happened this morning. "My wife is coming back, why are you sitting in her? Don't you have a carriage? Is my wife coming back with my brother?"
Yinzhen gnashed his teeth again, "Come here, why are you running! Yinzhen, stop right there!"
"You've already rolled up your sleeves, how can I stand still? Anyone who stands still is a fool!" Although Yin? is fat, he is very agile and fast. Yin'er can't catch up with Yin? for a while. "Ninth brother, don't chase me. I was wrong. I didn't think of anything at that time. It was only when I saw Na Kechu that I remembered!"
Yinzhen decided not to chase after him, "Fujin, wipe it for me..." Turning around, there was no one behind him, so he looked at Qian Bao, "Where's Fujin?"
"Sister-in-law Jiu has gone in," Yin? pointed to the prince's residence, "Brother Jiu, let me wipe your sweat," Yin? smiled and took up his sleeve to wipe Yin'er's sweat, "Master Jiu~ You've worked so hard~"
"Get lost!" Yinzhen almost couldn't catch his breath. The fat and chubby Xiaoshi who was timid and pinched his throat could really make him angry to death. "I'll find my own wife!"
"What are you doing following me? Why aren't you going to class?" Yinzhen turned around and looked at Yin? who was following him, and glared at him unhappily.
"Ninth brother, I, your younger brother, don't have to go to class. I will go to court with you tomorrow," Yin? was extremely proud. After he returned to the palace from Na Kechu, he thought about being separated from his ninth brother every day in the future, and he felt it was inappropriate!
He remembered what his ninth sister-in-law said: as long as he was shameless, the emperor would not be able to do anything to him, so he went to find the emperor, and the emperor... happily agreed!
Kangxi: ...Haha, you experience it yourself!
Yinzhen muttered to himself about his...perfect operation, "Sister-in-law Nine is really amazing. She gave me a good idea. If I have any problems in the future, I will ask the Emperor for help. Just do this and it will definitely work!" Yinzhen was extremely proud. He found a way to control the Emperor!
