famous eldest daughter

Chapter 929 Punishment
As he was talking, he saw Nanny Huang walking out of the crowd carrying a black-bone chicken and shouting, "It's time to go and do some work. Do you have anything to do?"

She has a very high status in the mansion, who would dare not listen to her words.

The crowd that was still crowded together suddenly dispersed, but some people turned around and saw Gu Yuqing standing not far away, looking towards the kitchen, their faces turned pale with fright, they just lowered their heads and pretended to disappear, and hurriedly leave.

Aunt Huang obviously saw Gu Yuqing as well, holding the black chicken in her hand, she came straight towards Gu Yuqing.

Before Gu Yuqing could ask, he walked up and said: "A sheep ran out of the sheepfold. Everyone was trying to catch the sheep and accidentally trampled a black chicken to death because it was rewarded by the palace. The steward of the kitchen The mother-in-law was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.”

At that time, Gu Yuqing was injured, and Xiao Yu raised a sheep and chickens in the palace in order to nourish Gu Yuqing. Gu Yuqing recovered early, and those chickens and sheep could not stay in the palace forever. After missing, the emperor had no choice but to reward Gu Yuqing with the chickens and sheep.

At that time, if the emperor knew that Xiao Yu was actually Bicui Pavilion when he was missing, he might be so angry that he would go back and convert Bicui Pavilion into a chicken farm!

After hearing Nanny Huang's reply, Gu Yuqing glanced at the trampled black chicken and said, "It's not a big deal, why did so many people gather around it?"

Aunt Huang sighed heavily, "Because these were gifts from the palace and purchased by His Highness the Fourth Highness. The kitchen was afraid that the young lady would come back to blame her and was unwilling to take responsibility. As soon as the housekeeper woke up, she gathered the people working in the kitchen Go to the yard and ask the person who wants to trample the black chicken to death to come out and confess, otherwise everyone will be out in the cold."

"Many of these people are working in the house as a family. Seeing the cold weather and the cold weather outside, naturally they couldn't bear it, so they went over to protest and made a fuss, which led to a big fuss. Some slaves went out to help the young master. I’ve just gone through the door to choose clothing materials.”

"The housekeeper has been ill with a cold these past few days and has been unable to get up. According to the lady's instructions, no one dares to disturb his rest and recovery."

While reporting back, he headed towards Tongyuan, and when Madam Huang finished speaking, Gu Yuqing and his party had already entered Tongyuan.

After washing up, Gu Yuqing said to Aunt Huang: "Then do you recognize the person who stepped on the black chicken to death?"

Aunt Huang shook her head, "No one dares to admit it!"

The scene he just saw in front of the kitchen door came to Gu Yuqing's mind.

When everyone dispersed, they were slightly startled when they saw her. Then they lowered their heads and left quickly, but there was only one person who was different.

His complexion suddenly turned as white as paper, as if he had lost his soul after seeing a ghost. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. If the person next to him hadn't pulled hard, he would have been stunned and motionless.

After thinking for a while, he said to her: "Lai Wang is the son of Mrs. Qian in the kitchen. Go and tie him up. Also, call the wife in charge of the kitchen over."

Gu Yuqing pointed out people by name and directly ordered them. After hearing the words, Nanny Huang immediately executed them.

Within a moment, both of them were kneeling in front of Gu Yuqing, each with a pale face.

Looking at Xiang Laiwang, Gu Yuqing said: "Why did you trample that black chicken to death?"

Having just been tied up by Aunt Huang and others, Lai Wang was already scared out of his mind. At this moment, the first sentence Gu Yuqing opened his mouth was to ask him directly. Lai Wang couldn't help but paralyzed and fell to the ground, "I didn't mean it, slave?" Yes, there was a lot of noise and everyone was chasing the sheep. At some point, the black-bone chicken also ran out. Because it was too small and messy, the slave didn't notice it."

As he spoke, Laiwang almost cried.

"Since you were the one who killed me, why did you refuse to admit your mistake when asked by the supervisor at the time? You will make everyone suffer the punishment together with you and freeze in the snow." Gu Yuqing said coldly.

As for Lai Wang, Gu Yuqing’s letter was word for word.

Judging from the fact that he was shivering like chaff, he probably couldn't tell any lies.

When Lai Wang heard this, his body trembled even more violently, and he said with a livid face: "I'm afraid...I'm afraid that the eldest lady will kill me. This...this chicken is a gift from the emperor, and I'm really afraid in my heart." .”

In shock, while confessing everything, he even forgot to plead for mercy. He just sat there with dead eyes.

Since Lai Wang had completely admitted it personally, Gu Yuqing said: "These chickens and sheep were originally given by His Majesty for food and drink. Although you trampled them to death, you are not guilty of much. But you have harmed others because of this. If you have committed a crime, you will be taken down and given twenty punishments with a stick to serve as a warning to others."

When he heard the words, his lifeless eyes suddenly burst out with light, full of bewilderment. Twenty punishments with the rod, is this the end?
I originally thought that he would definitely die, but I didn't expect that he only received twenty blows. Suddenly, he felt like he was coming back to life. After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, he was surprised and surprised, and kowtowed to Gu Yuqing, "Thank you very much." Thank you very much for your kindness, Miss.”

The tears that had not been shed in the shock just now were falling slowly, tremblingly.

After Lai Wang was taken away, Gu Yuqing turned to look at the kitchen stewardess, "How could such a thing happen in the kitchen?"

The housekeeper shrank and reported back: "My slave saw that it was snowing today and wanted to make some sheep soup for the young lady, so she had the sheep taken and slaughtered. The man who took the sheep left the sheepfold and forgot to close the door."

Gu Yuqing said dissatisfied: "A sheep ran out, and you found something to lure it back. Why did you turn the people in the kitchen on their backs? For a sheep, almost the whole kitchen went out to catch it. If you didn't give the order, how could others dare to throw it away?" Instead of doing chores, do this!”

The steward's wife said with a pale face, "If it were an ordinary sheep, I wouldn't be as helpless as I am today. This is a sheep given by Your Majesty. I was panicked at that time..."

Gu Yuqing cut off her words, "Did His Majesty personally give the sheep to be sacrificed in the Chinan Marquis Mansion? In the end, it wasn't killed and eaten. Why, you endured it being killed, but you can't bear it?" It ran out? It just ran out, and you were so panicked? In charge of the entire kitchen, but let a sheep mess up the backbone and lose the idea, how can I safely hand over the position of kitchen manager to you! "

Gu Yuqing's words were so sharp that the steward's mother-in-law was horrified. What do these words mean to deprive her of her post of steward?
"Miss, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I didn't handle it properly. I just ask you to give me a chance to change my mind because it is a gift from the emperor."

Gu Yuqing sighed quietly in her heart, but she said with a stern face: "You are wrong in catching the sheep and torturing the people, but the most abominable thing is that in order to find out the real culprit who trampled the chicken to death, you made the whole kitchen... Standing in the snow is a punishment.”

"Don't you know the consequences of being forced to stand in the snow? If Aunt Huang hadn't come back in time, how long are you going to let everyone stand? If we catch the wind and cold, everyone will fall ill tomorrow. Do you have to do the kitchen work alone? !”

The housekeeper trembled and said, "I realize my mistake!"

"Today I am punishing you for half a year as a warning to others. You must know that I am not punishing you because you let the sheep escape from the sheepfold, nor because you created a mess in order to catch the sheep, but because you did not care about the front and back in order to catch the thief. ."
