Chapter 4723 4726 [A New Look]

In the lively moment, a servant came to pass the message, and the old lady sent a maid Yuanyang to invite him to speak.

The three of them hurried over and saw that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were also there. Moreover, Mama Lai was there, her eyes were still red, as if she had just cried.

The three of them hurriedly came forward to meet Jia Mu and greeted Madam Lai.

The Jia family rules that the servant who has served his master also has a good reputation in front of the young master. Mama Lai is the maid whom Jia Mu is dowry, so she is naturally decent. Xiang Nan and Wang Xifeng both called her "Grandma Lai".

"I heard that something happened in the mansion. What was going on?" Jia Mu asked.

Xiang Nan then told the story of the curse of the parchment paper, "Old ancestors, anyone who violates the family law, will carve the handwriting on his forehead to demonstrate his crime."

When Mama Lai heard him say this, she suddenly realized.

No wonder the son's face was carved with handwriting, it turned out that he was cursed for violating family law.

"You can't make any mistakes, right?" Jia Mu said again, "Maybe I was fine, but I was accidentally injured?"

"This is an immortal technique. There is a god three feet tall, and I can't understand it very well." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

Mama Lai couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Her son has words engraved on his forehead now. She came to see Mu Jia today, hoping that she could push it.

"Then what mistakes did they all make?" Jia Mu asked with concern.

"The ancestors don't ask, otherwise they will be really angry to death." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

Jia Zheng also sighed and waved his hand.

He was shocking when he saw those confessions, and he couldn't bear to let his mother see them again.

"Yes, ancestor, let the master decide on this matter." Jia Lian also said to Jia Mu.

He was also shocked when he saw the confessions. He didn't expect that the butlers were so cruel that they regarded the Jia family as their own, and they were not polite at all.

"Tell me." Jia Mu insisted.

"Old ancestor, this is the confession of the few of them. Please check it out." Seeing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to present the confession to Mrs. Jia.

...

When Jia Mu took the confession, her face turned pale.

She didn't expect that these butlers would be so bold, and it would be fine if they could steal the rat and dogs and fill their pockets. After all, everyone has greed.

However, these housekeepers actually took charge of litigation and abused the law under the banner of the Jia family, which seriously touched her bottom line.

Once such a thing breaks out, the Jia family will not only lose their official position and dismiss the title, but will even confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Therefore, the actions of these people are really hateful, and they really make Mu Jia feel upset and her hands are so angry that they tremble.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan hurried forward, held the old lady's hand, and sent her a series of true qi to smooth out her qi and blood to prevent her from being angry.

"I didn't expect that I would fall to this point." Jia Mu said angrily, and then handed Lai Da's confession to Lai Mama.

Madam Lai also knew a few words. After reading the confession, she couldn't sit still and knelt directly on the ground, "Madam calm down, Madam calm down, I really don't know that he had done such a bad thing. If I knew, He beat him first, then apologize to his wife.”

However, Jia Mu did not say anything and was completely angry with the crimes of Lai Da and others.

It's really hateful. I paid more than 100,000 taels of silver from the Jia family and showed off my power outside under the banner of the Jia family. It's simply outrageous.

"It's all because of my old woman's lack of strict teaching and incompetent discipline, that made him do these misfortunes." Madam Lai cried again, "I'm sorry, Madam, I'm really wrong to atone for my sins to her!"

She said as she kowtowed, and soon her forehead swelled up.

"Forget it, get up. It's your son who did something wrong and it has nothing to do with you." Seeing this, Jia Mu finally couldn't help but say.

"If my son doesn't teach me, it's my mother's fault. It's all my fault." Lai Mama cried again, "He has not made any progress, and he actually committed these evil deeds. The wife wants to beat him and punish him, and it's all him. I have no complaints about the evil I have done. I just hope that I will not be shocked to the government and spare his life, beg for his wife, beg for his wife."

Jia Mu was stunned and looked at Jia Zheng and Xiang Nan, "Zheng'er, Baoyu, what do you think?"

"It should be sent to the government for legal action to kill one person to warn a hundred." Jia Zheng said, he was straight and unwilling to betray the law.

"After all, Mama Lai has served her ancestors, so she should give her some face." Xiang Nanze said, "Let's do this. As long as they fill in the past deficits, they won't go through the official government."

"Baoyu is right, sir, look at the old lady's face." Mrs. Wang also spoke.

"Master, what the wife said is that you don't look at the monk's face." Wang Xifeng also spoke.

"Forget it." Jia Zheng nodded.

Madam Lai quickly kowtowed and thanked her.

...

Subsequently, Lai Jia, Wu Xindeng's family, Lin Zhixiao's family, Shan Daliang's family, Zhou Rui's family, Dai Liang's family, etc. were forced to sell houses, land, children, and women, paying back the deficits that owed the Jia family.

Because they don't have much cash in their hands either. After they got the money, they all bought houses and land, calling slaves and maids, and their lives were not even worse than those of the young men and ladies in the Jia Mansion.

Therefore, if you want to make a loss now, you have to sell the real estate, land, slaves, and maids to pay back the money first. Since we know that some of them are anxious to cash in and pay back the money, who will not lower the price when buying it?

Therefore, these companies sold after they were sold, and they still had a lot of money, so they could only sell themselves. But because everyone knows that they are sold by the Jia family because of their irregularity, which one dares to buy them?

So these people stood in the cold wind with straw signs in the market, how miserable.

In addition, Lai Sheng, the chief steward of Ningguo Mansion, was also the son of Lai Mama.

Now that the eldest brother Lai Da was in trouble, he naturally could not escape the responsibility, and was also dealt with by Jia Zhen, and vomited a lot of fat meat that he had swallowed before.

…

After dealing with the four major stewards and the two major managers, the Jia family also sent a large number of slaves suspected of stealing, embezzling, delaying work, and being arrogant.

Among them, those suspected of stealing from Lai Dajia, Wu Xindeng's family, Zhou Rui's family, Yingchun's wet nurse, etc. were all expelled. Several women who led the gambling at night were also driven out.

Other women with minor crimes were beaten with more than ten or twenty boards each, and part of their salary was deducted, which was regarded as a warning to others.

After such a vigorous and drastic action, the atmosphere of the Jia family suddenly changed.

Those nannies, wet nurses, old women, maids, stewards, housekeepers, etc., no longer dared to steal, embezzle, or act arrogantly.

For example, Baoyu's wet nurse, Li Ma, always thought highly of herself and often taught the maids in Baoyu's room a lesson. People like Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue, Qiuwen, Bihen, etc., have all been scolded by her.

Later, because she stole Xiang Nan's food, she was engraved with words on her forehead, which made her look big. Although she was not punished, she was too ashamed to act arrogantly in Xiang Nan's room.

In addition, there were those old women and maids who relied on their wealth and used to flattering the high and looking down on the low. Now that they saw that several housekeepers had suffered, they were sold in the human market in the cold weather. How could they dare to be arrogant? They were too honest to be sold.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Rongguo Mansion was a new look.
