Chapter 308: Boring, frightening people
The servants were a little hesitant. Before, the eldest lady's housekeeper managed the mansion in perfect order and clearly defined rewards and punishments. They admired her from the bottom of their hearts. But now he suddenly said he would replace the person and even arrested the eldest lady's maid for no reason. This made them very embarrassed. They didn't know whether to arrest her or not.
"Are you all deaf? Can't you hear my orders? If you don't go, I will sell you all out! I am the head of the family now, and your indentures are all in my possession." Shen Youran saw that the servants were standing still, her eyes wide open, her face flushed red, and she yelled at them.
"Yes, Second Miss." The servants had no choice but to step forward and prepare to capture Shan Wei. Shen Youran's face showed pride again.
"All of you go down. I will take care of this matter. By the way, help me close the door." Yao Qingnian could see that these servants were not here voluntarily. They were servants and dared not disobey the orders of their master. He waved his hand and asked them to go down.
"Yes, Miss!" The servants lowered their heads and dared not look at Shen Youran. Then they all ran away quickly and considerately closed the gate of the courtyard. Now only Shen Youran and the maid beside her were left in the yard.
"Come back here. I'm the head of the family now, and you have to listen to me! Believe it or not, I will sell you all out! Just wait for me!" Shen Youran was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She yelled at the servants who were running away, but the only response she got was the sound of the door closing.
"Sister, save your energy! If you don't want revenge, come on! I'm waiting!" Yao Qingnian looked at her angry and embarrassed look with a half-smile.
"Shen Nianran, what do you want to do!" Shen Youran came to her senses after everyone left. She closed the gate, could it be that she wanted to do something to her? Thinking of this, she shrank back and swallowed.
"I'm not planning to do anything. I've given you the housekeeper's key and the account book. I want to ask you, what do you want to do? If you want to mess around in my yard, then you've come to the wrong place. Well, I'm bored, so I'm going to find something to kill time."
"You want to kill time? What do you want to talk to me for? I just got the account book and I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. I'll let your maid go today. There's a long way to go. Humph, just wait for me." Shen Youran said, and was about to leave with the maid.
"It's easy to come to my yard, but it's not that easy to leave. Shanwei, go prepare something for your sister and treat her well."
"Yes, miss! I'll go right away." Shan Wei understood what she meant and ran to catch two mice from somewhere and shook them in front of her.
"Ah! Rat! Take it away! Take it away!" Shen Youran's face turned pale when he saw the rat in front of him, and he hid behind the maid in fear.
"Sister, there's a spider on you!"
Shen Youran looked down and saw that there were indeed two large spiders crawling on her clothes: "Ah! Go away!"
She jumped and ran around the yard.
"Wuwu... Help! Shen Nianran, quickly ask your maid to take these dirty things off me." The only sounds left in the yard were her and her maid's screams.
Yao Qingnian took the spider off her body and threw it directly at her face: "Ah!" Shen Youran's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"How rude! You have the guts to come to my yard and shout. You'll scare her to death."
"Miss, how did you make these spiders? Can you give me a few? They don't look fake at all. I thought they were real at first." Shan Wei looked at the simulated spider in his hand.
"These are all for you, take them!" Yao Qingnian bought them when she was bored to scare children, but she didn't expect Shen Youran to be frightened to faint like this.
Yao Qingnian arranged for servants to carry her back and told them that rats had entered his yard and frightened the second young lady to the point of fainting, and asked them to help send her back and take good care of her.
In Shen Youran's yard, she suddenly jumped up from the bed, remembering what happened in Yao Qingnian's yard. She touched her face and exclaimed, "My face! My face! Hurry and bring me a mirror!"
"Second Miss, your face is okay!" The maid who was standing by her side saw her wake up and scream in surprise, so she quickly took a mirror and comforted her.
"Luckily I'm fine. If my face was ruined, I would kill that bitch!" Shen Youran looked at her intact face and finally calmed down. Thinking of the scene before she fainted, goose bumps appeared all over her body. That vicious woman actually used poisonous spiders and rats to scare her. This matter can't just be let go.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Shen Youran's newly bought maid Xuehua asked from the side.
"You go..." Shen Nianran said a few words in her ear.
"Isn't this too risky, Miss? If your face is really hurt, it will not be worth it..."
With a "slap", Shen Youran slapped him directly: "Just go when I tell you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Dongmei is more convenient to use. Just do whatever she asks you to do! She never asks any more questions."
"Yes, miss, I'll go right away." Xuehua went downstairs trembling and covering her face.
The next day, in Shen Youran's yard.
"Someone come quickly! It's bad, the second young lady has hanged herself!" The maid's cry spread throughout the yard.
"Go and call the master and the mistress over!"
The servants were in a mess. Shen Wenting had just returned from court. After hearing that Shen Youran had hanged herself, he hurried to her yard and happened to meet the old lady.
"Why is this girl so depressed? My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard the news."
"Mom, don't worry, let's go in and take a look. You Ran is a sensible person, and he must have encountered something."
When the two walked into the yard, they saw Shen Youran lying in the arms of the nanny, barely breathing. There were obvious marks of strangulation on her neck. There was a white silk hanging on the beam, and a stool fell to the ground. When they got closer, the old lady and others were shocked.
"You Ran, your face, what happened to your face!" The old lady felt extremely distressed, and was even more surprised to see her festering face. She was fine yesterday, and was making a fuss about wanting a housekeeper. After they agreed, she said that she wanted to go to Shen Nianran's courtyard to get the keys and account books. This morning, she was thinking that she would come to pay her respects, and when Wen Ting came back, they could discuss and get Chen Shuhua's dowry. However, the old lady waited for a long time but she didn't come. Not long after, she heard the servants come to report that the second young lady had hanged herself. She thought she had heard it wrong, but when she came over to take a look, it was true.
"What's going on? Tell me, why did the second young lady become like this?" Shen Wenting's face turned dark as he pointed at Xuehua standing beside him.
"Master, Madam, it's... it's the eldest lady..."
"Shen Nianran? What did she do? Don't hesitate, just tell me clearly!"
