Chapter 572 (1/2)
Ah Fu ah Xi went back to Wufu hall.
Shen Qing was already waiting for them. He looked at them carefully and asked with a smile, ”what do you want your wife to do?”
Ah Xi looks at Ah Fu.
Ah Fu calmly said, ”madam, if the four girls want to mention that you and master Biao fished together when the four girls come, we should try to interrupt the girl and not let the four girls know about it.”
Shen Qing nodded: ”I know. Ah Fu will go down first. Ah Xi will stay here to help me cut my nails. It's a little long.”
Ah Fu retreated calmly.
Shen Qing watched her go out, turned to sit on the couch, lazy and leisurely. Ah Xi went to get the scissors and put the embroidered stool in front of the couch. She really wanted to cut her nails. This servant girl's mind is much simpler than Ah Fu's. Shen Qing smiles and signals her to put down the scissors and asks her in a low voice: ”what did the lady say to you?”
Ah Xi raised her eyes in surprise, as if she didn't understand why she asked: ”as Ah Fu said just now, madam is afraid that the four girls will be angry when they know about it. Yesterday, when we reported back, my wife didn't expect that, today, she specially reminded us that Ah, don't you believe us
As a hindsight, she stood up nervously and showed her loyalty eagerly: ”girl, what we said is absolutely true. You, won't you break your promise?”
Shen Qing stares at her eyes.
Yesterday, when the two maids came back from the front yard, she broke one of the old lady's most precious emerald bracelets on purpose, so as to threaten them to listen to her. Otherwise, she and the old lady would falsely accuse them of their broken bracelet. When the old lady was angry, Lin could not protect them. She would be punished at home, or even sold out, or even put into prison. Ah Fu and ah Xi were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. She sent out another sweet date, and each of them gave a hundred taels of silver to ask them to do things for her. In the future, she would get another hundred taels for each person.
Shen Qing is willing to believe them, but she can't believe them all.
