Chapter 256 The slave reports bad news again
Yin looked at the empty plates and bowls on the table that no one had come to collect, smiled bitterly, stood up, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, frowning, not knowing what she was thinking about.
At this time, Qingye and Qiugui, who came to Yin's house with Yin, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, walked in from outside.
The two maids walked up to Yin, bowed and saluted.
Qiu Gui looked at Yin's empty hands, not even a cup of tea, and whispered, "Madam, can I go and make you a cup of tea?"
Having said that, Qiu Gui turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yin.
Yin raised her eyes slightly and looked at Qiu Gui and Qing Ye, "Have you two had lunch?"
Qingye and Qiugui looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
"What did you eat?" Yin asked.
"One person... one bowl of rice porridge per person." Qiu Gui replied.
Yin sneered after hearing this and asked, "How many grains of rice are there?"
Qingye and Qiugui looked up at Yin, said nothing, and lowered their heads again.
Yin pointed at the steamed buns and the remaining stewed food on the table and said, "You two can go and eat some more. It's a good opportunity since no one has come to clean up the things here yet."
Today, Qingye and Qiugui have had enough of the bad looks and harsh treatment.
In the mansion of Marquis Qinxing, even though they were slaves, they were often scolded by Yin, but they had never drunk porridge water so clear that you could see your reflection in it.
They have been hungry since morning and just had a bowl of rice soup. Now they feel extremely hungry.
After hearing Yin's instructions, they were both very surprised and grateful.
After all, there were a few steamed buns and a lot of braised food on the table, at least enough for the two of them to eat.
The two men confessed their crime and walked to the table.
They did not dare to sit down and eat in front of their master. Instead, they stood there, picked up the steamed buns, and ate some quickly with the braised food. At least they were full.
Qiu Gui and Qing Ye put down their chopsticks. They came to Yin and knelt down to greet her. "Thank you, Madam. I am full now."
Yin nodded.
Yin is not a kind person.
She didn't feel sorry for the two slaves who were starving with her.
She just felt that if the slaves who followed her were treated harshly, it would be a slap in her face.
Even if she didn't dare to show off her power as usual, she still had to do something, such as asking her servants to eat up all the edible food on the table!
Yin's indignation actually allowed Qingye and Qiugui to fill their stomachs.
Yin turned her head to look at her two children sitting beside her, and said to Qingye and Qiugui, "Go out and tell the servants to prepare the carriage. We will go back to the mansion now."
After hearing this, Qiugui and Qingye nodded in agreement.
But before the two of them could go out to pass on the message, they heard Liu Ma's panicked voice coming from outside, "Grandma, Grandma, this is bad! Grandma...Grandma..."
When Yin heard Liu Ma's panicked cry, her heart trembled violently.
Her first feeling was that the reason why Madam Liu was so panicked must be related to the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion.
Yin quickly stood up and walked out the door, and saw her mother and sister-in-law also coming out of their own rooms.
"What are you yelling about?
"What happened? Tell me clearly!" Old Lady Yin yelled at Aunt Liu.
"Yes, yes!
Madam… Madam… Just now… Just now I went… Went to our two…two shops…” Madam Liu was so flustered that she stuttered.
"What's wrong with the two shops?" Yu suddenly felt something was wrong and stepped forward to ask.
"In reply to Grandma, there are officials from Shuntian Prefecture in the shop... in the shop... in the shop!
They... they are guarding the door, and there are... there are also people inside.
The officers are...checking the account books.
I can’t get in, and I can’t get the money!” Madam Liu said, and lowered her head deeply.
"What?" Old Lady Yin was shocked when she heard this. She thought: It's bad! It's bad!
After hearing this, Yu also became panicked.
Yu sighed in her heart, "Oh! This is what I'm afraid of!"
There was no way those two shops could be transferred.
If it is not your own, it will never become your own.
Now, the shop is controlled by the government again.
This time, I'm afraid the property should be returned to its original owner, and it should be handed back to Leng Rongyue!
Yin thought more, she thought of other shops and farms.
"Madam Liu, you...you only went to these two shops?
What about other shops? Did you see what was going on in other shops? "
Madam Liu looked at Yin and shook her head, "Aunt, I...I just...just went to these two shops.
These two shops are close to each other.
I saw...saw the officers there, and they couldn't...couldn't get in the door at all, so I...hurried back to report the news.
Others...others..."
Oops!
Without asking any more questions, Yin could imagine that the other shops would be in the same situation.
Could it be that... Leng Xian really brought Leng Rongyue back?
And you even reported it to the authorities?
Yin calculated the time and it was impossible!
Didn’t Leng Rongyue follow the old lady and two ladies of the Anguo Mansion to their hillside manor in the south of the city?
I just want to go there and back...I can't come back at this time!
Or did Leng Xian go to report to the police himself?
Then...before he went to report to the police, did he take back all the cash in the shop?
Did he take back the food in the farm and the things in the warehouse?
The more Yin thought about it, the more panicked she became. She hurriedly ordered Qingye and Qiugui, "Quick! Go and get the carriage ready. Let's go back to the mansion. Quick!"
"Yes!" Qiu Gui hurried out.
