Chapter Forty-Three Effectiveness
Is what Shui Er did more serious than what Sao Yue did? Is it finally her turn now?
Seeing this scene, the crowd naturally didn't understand what was going on. After all, those things in the past were ordered by Han Jiangxue to be sealed off and not spread out, so they just thought that Water was scared because she saw Su Sa being beaten to death.
And Shui Er had almost given up on begging for mercy, these days she had been living in fear every day, always afraid that the eldest miss would find her to settle accounts after autumn, and at the same time, she was more and more ashamed of what she had done.
These years, the young lady has always been very good to her, but she was blinded by money and did things that wronged the young lady. Today, she is tormented by tension, shame, and anxiety, and it's almost as if she can't take it anymore. It's finally come to an end for her, and she won't have to live such a life again.
Just as Shuier thought she was doomed to die today, Han Jiangxue spoke up again: "This time Shuier has made a meritorious report, and is rewarded with ten taels of silver. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and you all should take care of yourselves from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Shui'er's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, which flowed down her face as she kowtowed three times to thank her master.
Today's matter has nothing to do with her, but the young lady insisted it was her credit and even rewarded her with so much silver. This attitude made her feel a sense of rebirth and liberation.
She wasn't foolish and immediately understood the meaning of the eldest sister, didn't say much, but used the most direct way to solemnly thank the eldest sister for her gift.
Later on, she naturally wouldn't have any chance of being favored by Liu's family again. At the same time, it also shows that the eldest sister is exceptionally kind to her. If not for the eldest sister remembering that she had been serving by her side since childhood, her actions would be even more miserable than sweeping the floor.
She is now truly ashamed, with tears in her eyes and a silent determination in her heart, never to do anything that would wrong her mistress again. Her life was given by her mistress!
Everyone seeing this naturally also hurriedly nodded in agreement, indicating that they all remembered and would absolutely not do anything to betray their master.
"Water, you go to the mistress now and tell her that there are people in this courtyard who are committing crimes against their superiors, repeatedly spying on them with malicious intentions! I was so angry that I punished that slave with thirty lashes, but before I finished beating him, he stopped breathing."
Han Jiangxue looked at Shui'er and said, "Tell the mistress for me that in the future, I don't want her to bother arranging the servants in this courtyard of mine. Otherwise, one comes and one gets beaten to death!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions again. Anyone could understand the meaning behind the young lady's words. The struggle between the madam and the young lady was unknown when it started, but everyone could see that the young lady they served was not like before.
"This time, Shui'er didn't have the slightest worry or hesitation. She immediately responded with a firm tone: 'Please be assured, milady, I will definitely not let you down again!'"
Looking at the water and the obviously different expression, as well as that firm background, Han Jiang Xue fell silent for a moment, then cast his gaze towards the crowd again: "Alright, the person is dead, their crime has been punished. Have someone take this maidservant down and give her a proper burial, also send some silver to her family to comfort them. Today's matter ends here, from now on everyone should collect their thoughts and do their own duties!"
"Yes!" Everyone obeyed in unison, and unconsciously began to respect this young lady even more. No one dared to underestimate her again, nor did anyone dare to harbor any improper thoughts.
They are nothing but slaves, their lives are in the hands of their masters they serve, at any time only being obedient is true!
Han Jiangxue didn't say anything else, turned around and led Zi Yue back to the house first. And the others didn't need to be told again, someone immediately came to quietly clean up the bloodstains in the courtyard with water.
Before long, everything seemed as if nothing had happened, except that from then on, no one in the mansion dared to have any intention of deceiving the young lady again.
At this time, Liu listened to the words of Han Jiangxue conveyed by Shui'er without changing a single word, and he was so angry that he didn't make a sound for a long time, his face black as coal.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said expressionlessly towards the water: "A servant who made a mistake, beat him to death! Our family's young lady has grown up now, has a good reputation, and still needs me as her mother to worry about what? Tell the young lady that from today on, I will no longer interfere with matters in her courtyard. Even if something really happens, she can handle it herself, and there is no need for her to report anything to me again!"
"Yes! I remember, I will definitely report back to the young mistress!" Shui'er responded and then prepared to withdraw.
"Wait a minute!" Liu's expression slightly eased, and he turned to call out to Shui'er: "Shui'er, do you still want to earn more silver now?"
Upon hearing Liu's words, Shui'er naturally couldn't do such a thing again.
Just as she was about to refuse, her mind suddenly flashed with something, and after a moment, she put on an indecisive look and said in a low voice: "Madam, you've seen it all, Miss is now so furious, even if I want silver, I have to keep my life first! Compared to the maid today, I'm already lucky enough to be standing here with my life, I don't dare think about other things, please madam sympathize with my difficulties."
Liu smiled slightly, got up straight and took out a silver ticket from the small box in front of the dresser, personally stuffed it into Shui'er's hand and said: "Don't worry, now you don't have to do anything. You just need to remember that there is still a wife like me in the back house of the Han family. Here are one hundred taels, take them and I guarantee that I won't let you have any trouble later."
The young servant's face was full of hesitation, but the silver note in his hand tightened and loosened repeatedly before he asked very tensely: "Is what you said true, madam?"
"It's all right, relax, just go back and serve the young lady with a peaceful mind." Madam Liu patted Shui'er's hand and smiled, indicating that Shui'er should not be so flustered.
Thus, Shui'er carefully put away the silver ticket and hastily said: "Please be at ease, madam. Even if I'm stupid, I still understand your identity."
With the words "water child", Liu smiled contentedly and waved her hand to indicate that they could withdraw first.
After Daisuke left, Liu was so angry that she flipped over the table beside her and said in a gloomy tone: "Han Jiangxue, you wait for me!"
Liu was having a big tantrum in the house when Shui'er quickly returned to the eldest sister's room.
As soon as she entered the house, Shui'er quickly took out the one hundred and two silver tickets that Liu's family had given her earlier and handed them over to Han Jiangxue. Then, she repeated every word of what Liu's family had said to her without missing a single detail.
Finally, Shui'er anxiously reminded Han Jiangxue to be extra careful with Liu Shi, who was secretly plotting something evil in her heart.
