Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 270: No Way Out, Huge Debt

"No, no, I didn't! Madam, I really didn't mean to disrespect you." Liao Yunfei immediately gave in. "I apologize, I kowtow to apologize!"

After saying this, Liao Yunfei turned around and faced Feng without waiting for Ji Chuhe's response.

"Mother, I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry..." Kowtow once and apologize once.

After kowtowed thirty-two times, Feng finally gave in.

"Stop knocking!"

Liao Yunfei stopped and looked up. Blood was flowing down her cheeks and her forehead was a bloody mess.

"Liao Yunfei! Do you know why I asked you to kowtow thirty-two times?" Feng asked angrily.

Liao Yunfei didn't know.

Everyone was also waiting for Feng's answer.

"Because, when I married into the Liao family, you were as thin as a wild monkey, and I was afraid that I couldn't support you. I heard that pheasants had laid eggs in the mountains. Others picked up pheasant eggs as big as bowls, so I went to pick them up too, hoping to nourish your body! I picked up the eggs and hurried down the mountain. I accidentally fell and twisted my waist. I went back and endured the pain to make a pot of egg custard! Your good father and you drank up the whole pot of egg custard! I was lying in bed in pain and couldn't get up, and none of you left me a bowl!"

"I sprained my waist, causing me to stay in bed for thirty-two days! You kowtowed to me thirty-two times, and not a single one was in vain!"

After hearing this, Ji Chuhe couldn't help but look at Liao's father, who was curled up like a quail.

Suddenly I felt a little sorry for Feng.

Behind every strong woman there is a weak and useless man.

However, many people still think that it is this strong woman who is wrong and that all the bad reputation falls on this strong woman.

"Mianzhu, take Mrs. Liao to see a doctor."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Dabao, Erbao, go and take care of your mother." Ji Chuhe instructed Liao Dabao and Liao Erbao.

Liao Dabao and Liao Erbao still clenched their fists tightly, looking aggressive, but there were tears in their eyes when they looked at Ji Chuhe.

Growing up, this is the first person other than them who has helped my mother vent her anger!

They said nothing and followed Feng away.

Ji Chuhe's eyes swept over these servants one by one.

"Who started it just now?" Ji Chuhe asked coldly.

No one answered.

"I ask again, who followed Madam Ce's orders and took action?"

Someone pointed at a few servants and responded timidly, "Madam, I saw them do it."

"Yes, it's them!" More people immediately pointed out.

"Madam, please spare my life. I am only following orders from you, Madam. These are all Madam's orders." One person responded tremblingly.

"Is there no lady in this mansion? You can't tell the difference between the primary and the secondary, and you want to obey the orders of a concubine? Or are you ready to join the concubine?" Qingluo asked coldly.

Qingluo's tone was not just referring to these few servants, but all the servants in the courtyard!

These words frightened all the servants so much that they all knelt down.

"Madam, when I came here just now, I saw them showing their loyalty to the concubine. Such traitors should not be allowed to stay! I think they should be severely punished. Break the legs of these servants and throw them out to fend for themselves! As for the others, sell them all!"

"Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me!"

For a moment, cries for mercy echoed throughout the yard.

“Just sell these servants out directly.” Ji Chuhe said calmly.

"Yes." Rong Song directly asked someone to drag these people away!

The rest of the people were trembling.

"I, the housekeeper, am very particular about rules, and I have strict rewards and punishments! No matter where you come from, or which master you served before, once you enter the Prince's Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Prince's Mansion! Today, considering that this is your first offense, I will give you a chance! If you do it again next time, I will not let you off easily!"

"Thank you, Madam!" Everyone immediately expressed their gratitude, feeling relieved that they had survived a calamity.

"Madam, look at the mess on the ground. There are precious porcelains everywhere. It's all because of their failure to protect them properly! You are kind-hearted, but someone has to bear these losses!" Qingluo continued to play the good guy.

"Madam, these porcelains were all broken after those servants started the fight. We tried our best to protect them but failed. We are innocent."

"Yes, ma'am, if we want to find the culprit in this matter, it has to be the side lady!"

"That's right, it was all because of the concubine!"

The servants began to climb and bite.

Liao Yunfei felt dizzy and her head swollen from kowtow, and her wounds were in terrible pain. Upon hearing these words, she immediately endured the discomfort and tried to excuse herself.

"Madam, these slaves are just shirking their responsibilities! It was they who failed to protect these things properly, and instead put all the blame on me!"

What a joke! If she were to bear all these valuable things, it would take her forever!

"Madam, they are right. You do bear the main responsibility which cannot be shirked!" Qingluo nailed Liao Yunfei down with just one sentence!

"And they are also jointly responsible!"

The servants all lowered their heads in fear.

"Madam, I suggest that you calculate all the losses and ask Madam and these servants to pay compensation!" Qingluo was firm in her attitude, and her expression was serious, making her as majestic as Nanny Si.

"Okay, let's do this." Ji Chuhe nodded in agreement.

"Madam, this place is a mess. Please leave first. I will take care of the rest."

Ji Chuhe turned and left.

Qingluo saw Ji Chuhe off, turned around and walked back, scanning everyone with her eyes.

Finally, his eyes fell on Liao Yunfei.

Liao Yunfei looked at Qingluo with anger.

"Where is the accountant? Check the accounts and report to me how much the loss is within half an hour." Qingluo ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Someone responded immediately in the distance.

According to regulations, Liao Yunfei had a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver, and also regularly received items such as cloth, jewelry, and perfume.

Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er also received ten taels of monthly silver.

These servants have just entered the mansion, and their monthly salary is the same, which is five strings of coins as the basic amount. Those who are diligent and capable, smart and sensible can get some rewards every month, and some can even get ten strings of coins!

As soon as the accountant calculated the amount, he handed it to Qingluo.

"The total is eighteen thousand six hundred and seventy-two taels!" Qingluo read out the number.

Liao Yunfei was stunned!

Why so many!

Just these broken porcelains cost over ten thousand taels!

Let's cheat her!

"Madam is primarily responsible for this matter. She will bear the 18,000 taels! The remaining 672 taels will be borne by you. Do you have any objections?"

"no comment!"

"I have an opinion!"

The servants said they had no opinion.

It was Liao Yunfei who expressed the opinion.

However, her voice was drowned out by the voices of the crowd.

Qingluo pretended not to hear.

There were nearly thirty people punished in total, and each of them received more than twenty taels of silver.

This amount is within their affordable range. If they work hard, they can earn five to ten taels of silver a year. It's better than being sold out, right?

If Liao Yunfei wants to pay back the money, he will have to pay it back for 75 years without taking a single cent of the monthly salary!
