Chapter 171 Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is in Danger

On the other hand, the atmosphere in Prime Minister Qin's residence was not so harmonious. All the servants in the residence were now worried about their own safety and were working hard.

Qin Yuehua was currently studying medical books and flipping through various ancient tomes in the study. She felt that she could not pin all her hopes on the elixir from Prince Zhou. She must find a way to cure her brother's illness.

The maid Tingyu came over with lunch and placed it on the table one by one. The meals were all exquisite, with meat, vegetables, soup and pastries. Tingyu said with admiration: "Young lady is really amazing. This trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is really effective. Now there is no servant in the mansion who dares to secretly make things difficult for our legitimate family. Now, everyone in the kitchen is polite to me."

"Especially the kitchen manager Yao whom the young lady promoted today. I don't know how she caught the young lady's eye. But when I went to get the food today, I saw that she was indeed efficient and hardworking. The food she made was also exquisite and appetizing. Young lady, come and try it."

Qin Yuehua put down the book in her hand and looked at Tingyu who was talking non-stop. She smiled and said, "Well, greedy cat, I see that you want to eat it. If you want to eat it, just try it."

Tingyu grinned and said, "Thank you, Miss," then she quickly sat down with her chubby body and picked up a piece of the milk rose cake that she had been coveting for a long time.

She was enjoying the food...

Qin Yuehua looked at the girl with crumbs at the corners of her mouth and shook her head. She sat down at the table and ate her meal slowly, thinking about what happened this morning.

Today, with the assistance of the second housekeeper Tang Zhong, she gathered more than a hundred servants and a dozen guards from the entire mansion.

She carefully identified them one by one, but she did not find the groom who chased her last time, nor the servant with a scent on his body. She could not figure out the matter for the time being, so she put it aside for the time being.

Then she first ordered the tenant farmers Tian Zhuang and others on the farm to bring up all the slaves who had committed crimes in the farm.

When the servant with a broken hand and the miserable maids, servants, and old women appeared in front of the servants, all the servants and maids in the mansion were frightened and excited.

She waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and first let the criminals kneeling on the ground tell what they had done. Except for the maid Luzhi, the rest were all beaten with thirty boards.

She then ordered Tian Zhuang to hand over the two servants with broken hands and the arrogant Zheng Po who beat Nanny Qiu Tong directly to the government, treat them as criminal slaves, and exile them directly to the North Cold Land.

The rest were all sold out, and they all cried and begged her for mercy. The one who cried the most was Mrs. Lin, the manager of the farm. She didn't have the arrogance she had before, and she cried tears streaming down her face. But no matter how she begged for mercy, Qin Yuehua ignored her.

Those who flatter their masters in daily life and betray their masters behind their backs cannot be kept. Just punishing them and then selling them off is considered to be showing mercy. Otherwise, the government will not intervene even if the slaves who have made such mistakes are beaten to death.

The timid Lvzhi and the thoughtful Hong'er cried and begged for mercy, but Qin Yuehua waved her hands, unwilling to look at them again, and dragged them out. Naturally, she didn't need to deal with the matter of selling the servants herself.

Then, she promoted Widow Yao, the kitchen helper in the mansion, to be the general manager of the kitchen, and the tenant farmer Tian Zhuang to be the manager of the farm. By giving rewards and punishments, she made everyone convinced and let them know that those who did well would still be noticed by her and there was hope for them to rise to the top overnight.

The maid Tingyu saw that the young lady was absent-minded while eating. She thought to herself, could it be that the young lady was still thinking about the servants she dealt with today? Her young lady was kind-hearted and very tolerant to the servants. This was the first time she had seen a servant being punished so harshly.

So she picked up a random topic and asked: "Miss, there are so many traitorous servants in Zhuangzi. How did you subdue them when you went there alone?"

This sentence reminded Qin Yuehua of Su Yu who had saved her from critical moments many times.

So she told her maid Tingyu everything that happened from being chased by the groom up the mountain to returning to the farm. Tingyu was a servant who had served her since she was a child. They were like sisters, so she could only tell her these things.

Qin Yuehua finally sighed: "Thanks to Mr. Su for saving my life."

The maid Tingyu lost her appetite for the cakes and cakes, and she knelt down quickly, "It's all my fault that I didn't stay by the young lady's side the whole time, which is why the young lady suffered such a disaster."

Qin Yuehua helped Tingyu up and said helplessly: "Silly girl, how can you be blamed for this? It's all thanks to you for taking good care of the second young master at home."

"If someone wants to harm me, how can a servant like you stop him? It's a good thing you didn't go with me last time, otherwise even you would be in danger of your life."

Tingyu was so moved that she burst into tears, "Miss, wuwuwu... I'm glad you're okay... wuwuwu..."

After crying for a while, she stopped crying and asked curiously, "Is it the fat Mr. Su Yu whom I met on the mountain?"

Thinking of Master Su and looking at her girl's fat little belly, Qin Yuehua couldn't help but chuckle and covered her mouth with her hands. She teased with a smile on her face: "Now Master Su is thinner than you."

When the girl Tingyu heard this, she looked incredulous. She thought to herself, this is impossible. Young Master Su was as fat as a water tank before, how could he be thinner than her? The young lady must be making fun of her.

Seeing the maid Tingyu's face full of disbelief, Qin Yuehua felt that she would know when she saw Master Su, so she said: "Help your young lady think about what kind of gifts to prepare in the next few days, and go to Master Su's house to express her gratitude."

But before the maid Tingyu could say anything.

Qin Yuehua began to say: "We have to go to the warehouse to find some beautiful cloth and jewelry to give to Aunt Su and Sister Su. By the way, there is a night-shining pearl left by my mother at home. Sister Su should like it. The soft smoke silk awarded by the Queen should also be fine. But what should we give to Mr. Su? Otherwise, we should go to my grandfather's warehouse and find some ink and the best four treasures of the study. What do you think? Tingyu".

After hearing these words, the maid Tingyu twitched her lips and said, "Miss, as long as you are happy..."
