I want to make progress

Chapter 126 For money

He came and left in a hurry, and Gu Changning's arrival did not cause any big waves. The maids and old women below only murmured a few words in confusion but did not take it seriously.

However, Shu Yunfu's physical problem caused a big stir in the yard.

Even though he was so careful about his diet, he was still tricked. After much investigation, it was found that the cause was actually the chopsticks used by Shu Yunfu.

As a master, Shu Yunfu was indeed very approachable and generous with food, often giving his dishes to his subordinates. But no one else found any problems, which meant that the problem was not with the dishes.

Yuyan and his men checked for a long time, and finally found a clue on the chopsticks used by Shu Yunfu. It turned out that the medicine was indeed not put in the dish, but on the tip of the chopsticks.

Shu Yunfu did share the dishes with other people, but the bowls and chopsticks she used were different. The bowls and chopsticks Shu Yunfu used were exquisite and precious. They were either made of silver or jade, and even if they were made of porcelain, they were all fine and exquisite porcelain and were very valuable.

The person who did it was also very smart. He only put a layer of safflower water on the tip of the chopsticks. When eating, all the safflower on the chopsticks went into Shu Yunfu's mouth without leaving any. After so many years, how could this be good?

Fortunately, Shu Yunfu's body was well maintained because of the life condensate. After being hit, her body soon showed signs of discomfort, which allowed her to discover the clue. Otherwise, as time went on, the cold would have penetrated into her bones, and even Hua Tuo would have been helpless. Even if she had the life condensate, it would have been difficult for her to recover.

The source of the poison was found and the poisoner was easily caught.

There is a little maid named A Yuan who helps in the kitchen. Her name is A Yuan, but she is very skinny, as if she has not had enough food for years, which is seriously inconsistent with her name.

It wasn't some great favor, nor was it about threatening her by capturing her family; it was purely because of money.

Usually this kind of girl is assigned to the lowest level, doing dirty and tiring work, getting the lowest monthly salary, and being bullied by other people in the mansion. It can be said that she is at the bottom of the entire mansion.

When the person was caught, the little girl was so scared that she trembled and knelt on the ground without daring to raise her head. But surprisingly, the little girl who could do such a thing actually confessed everything easily.

This little girl is not a born girl in the mansion, but a girl bought from outside. Although such a girl bought from outside has a clean background, she has not been trained and cannot handle important tasks in a short period of time.

She was not an important person. She was just an ordinary girl who could be ignored in the kitchen of Yizhuxuan. But no one would have thought that such an inconspicuous little girl would have the courage to harm others and succeed.

This little girl was lucky. After arriving at the Duke of England's mansion, she was assigned to Yizhuxuan after a period of tiring, hard and oppressed days.

It was also because Gu Changheng did not value Shu Yunfu, and few people in the mansion looked up to her, so these maids who were not presentable and were not looked up to by the masters were sent to Yizhuxuan, and A Yuan was one of them.

Compared to other courtyards, Yizhuxuan is really a very good place to go. The master is kind and never beats or scolds the servants for no reason. Even if they make some minor mistakes, as long as they don't make big mistakes, there won't be any big problems. Moreover, the master Shu Yunfu is really generous to the servants. The food is really first-class and there are rewards from time to time. It is really a comfortable place.

Ah Yuan was very satisfied. Although she was a nobody in the small kitchen of Yizhuxuan, the people there were kind and didn't bully anyone. The food was also among the best in the entire Duke of Yingguo's mansion. Although her monthly salary was not high, she received tips from time to time and her money was not robbed. She lived a very satisfying life.

But she still has a family, including parents who favor boys over girls, an older brother who is ambitious but only wants to study but has no real skills, and several younger brothers and sisters.

The parents could not support the family with their work, and life was very hard, so the eldest daughter A Yuan was sold when she reached a certain age.

Not only did he sell the person, he also did not let his blood-sucking daughter go, and kept an eye on her monthly allowance every day.

He often sent people messages saying that his younger siblings were sick or his brother needed money to buy pens and ink, thus squeezing all of A Yuan's money clean.

But A Yuan is a girl who values ​​her relatives very much. Even though her own life is not very good, she always thinks about her parents and brothers and sisters. She saves money and gives money to them, and does not listen to other people's advice.

That's how she was noticed and tempted with money. With just two shiny silver ingots and twenty taels, A Yuan agreed to do such a treacherous thing.

He is really greedy for money and really ignorant!
Thinking about how she was betrayed and suffered such a great crime just because of twenty taels, Shu Yunfu almost fainted from anger. She didn't know whether she hated the person behind the scenes for being so vicious, or hated A Yuan, the traitor, for being so stupid.

The person behind the scenes was very careful, and A Yuan never saw the person behind the scenes. The money and what she was asked to do were all passed on through a note.

A Yuan's parents were really stupid, but they were smart. They had planned to sell A Yuan from the very beginning. In order to get a good price for their daughter, they even asked their eldest son to teach her to read, just to get a few more taels of silver. And A Yuan was indeed sold for a few more taels of silver because of her literacy.

The person behind the scenes seized on this point and did not reveal a single hair. Even if she caught A Yuan, she would not be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

In the end, Shu Yunfu just had a cold face and ruthlessly sent someone to report to the current mistress of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, Lady Liu, even though A Yuan kept begging and kowtowing. She watched with her own eyes as A Yuan was beaten with twenty boards by the old woman sent by Lady Liu, and then dragged out to be sold.

The bloody and wailing sound resounded throughout Yizhuxuan, but Shu Yunfu didn't even blink.

Although she was kind and didn't want to argue with these servants, she was also willing to treat them well. After all, they were all raised by their parents. She lived a good life, so there was no need to be harsh to the people who served her, and there was no need to make everyone work so hard.

But this does not mean that she can tolerate these people betraying her and harming her. After all, she is too kind. The slave is bullying the master. Especially in such a huge Duke of England's mansion, the master must use both kindness and severity and cannot be always kind.

This incident can be considered as a lesson for her, and also an opportunity to make an example of her.
