Wood and Ax were horrified when they heard this, and they knelt down in fear and begged An Qien.
"Young Madam, I made a mistake. I will never dare to do it again..."
"Young Madam, please be merciful and spare me. My lineage is a single inheritance. Young Madam, I don't dare. I really don't dare..."
Mrs. Qiao was afraid that the punishment would be too severe, and that the wood and ax would all come out if they couldn't bear it. Although she handled the matter very cleanly and had a scapegoat ready, one more thing would be better than one less thing.
"Killing can only be done with a nod of the head. According to my opinion, you can hit people, but each person will receive twenty more blows."
An Qi'en refused to give up: "No, bullying my maid is bullying me. How important is a woman's innocence. Castration is light. Either go to Shuntian Mansion or castrate!"
Qiao Jianghong understood An Qien's temperament and what she insisted on had to be done. He smoothed things over and said, "Castration can also serve as a warning."
Mu Mu and Ax looked at Mother Wu in fear and for help. Mother Wu pretended not to understand and looked innocent.
"Please, old lady, have mercy and save the little one..."
"Please, old lady, have mercy and save the little one..."
Mrs. Qiao's method of relying on her old age and selling her old age is no longer useful to An Qien, and Mrs. Qiao also knows her temper.
Helpless, Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to say: "It is better to lose a piece of meat than to lose a life. If this matter goes to Shuntian Mansion, your life will not be saved, and your family will be harmed."
When Wood and Ax heard this, they gave up their struggle in fear. Mrs. Qiao had already warned them that they could only accept castration for the sake of their family!
Qiao Jianghong ordered his subordinates: "Drag him out and do it immediately!"
The wood, the ax was dragged down.
Mrs. Qiao picked up the teacup, opened the tea leaves with the tea lid and took a sip of tea to calm down the anger in her heart.
She put down the teacup and said: "Nan Pu has been dealt with, now it's the turn of these two girls. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, the innocence of these two girls has been damaged. They can't stay in the Hou Mansion anymore. Let me give it to them." It is not in vain for you, master and servant, to talk about marriage."
An Qien's face was calm: "Don't bother grandma, I will personally find a suitable candidate for their marriage."
Mrs. Qiao's anger got even worse. An Qien didn't take her seriously now. She said nothing to refute her!
Mother Wu smoothed things over and said, "The old lady was kind enough to arrange the marriage arrangements for the two girls because of the young lady's face. When something like this happened to the two maids, a good marriage would be difficult. The old lady was kind-hearted and wanted to do everything possible for them." Arrangements have been made.”
An Qi'en smiled faintly: "Thank you, grandma, for your kindness. Qi'en understands your wishes. These two maids will not bother the old lady. Qi'en has her own plan."
Mrs. Qiao couldn't say anything else, she frowned and raised her hand as if she was dizzy: "It's up to you."
Mother Wu: "Old Madam, your old habit has happened again. I will help you go back to your room to rest."
While speaking, Mother Wu had already held Mrs. Qiao's arm.
An Qi'en stood up, knelt down and left...
She brought the two maids back to Qiushui Residence intact.
The servants and women in the mansion gathered together in groups to discuss.
"Qingbi and Bailu, these two are really lucky. With the young lady, if it were another master, the two of them would definitely die now. They would be sold out."
"Yes, the young madam is really kind to the people around her. I heard that the young madam is willing to go to court with the old lady just to hold the two girls."
"Such a master, if we are not loyal to her, we will be struck by lightning. The young lady is really a good master."
"I really envy Qingbi and Bailu. They are both maids. They are really lucky to be with the young lady. Usually the young lady gives them food, drink and clothes. When something happens, she will try her best to protect them. Such a master is I am willing to follow you even if you die.”
"Yes, Qingbi and Bailu are really lucky."
.....
Everyone in the house knew about An Qi'en's efforts to protect the two maids. Everyone envied Qingbi and Bai Lu for following the right master. An Qi'en's reputation for treating the maids well was getting better and better...
Qiushuiju.
Qingbi and Bailu were still a little shocked after what happened last night. With red eyes, the two of them knelt down in front of An Qien with a plop.
"Madam, thank you for your kindness."
"This servant kowtows to Madam."
An Qien stood up from the imperial concubine's couch and helped the two of them up: "Get up quickly, get up quickly."
The two maids wiped away tears and stood up.
Bai Lu blamed herself: "Madam, I have embarrassed you."
An Qi'en comforted the two maids: "It's not you who are embarrassed, it's those who have evil intentions and evil intentions. You're right, don't listen to their nonsense."
This is when the maid came in to report: "Madam, Ziyun is here."
"Let him in."
Ziyun came in and clasped his fists: "Madam."
"You still don't want to say it?" An Qien asked straight to the point.
Ziyun: "Before the execution was carried out, the two of them bit their tongues and committed suicide. This is terrible, just as Madam thought, they were ordered by others."
An Qi'en was calm and unfazed. There was nothing she could not think of to see how vicious the Hou Mansion was. There was nothing that the Hou Mansion couldn't do.
Bai Lu panicked and asked, "I'm just a maid, and yet someone went to such great lengths to frame me. What would happen if I was killed?"
An Qi'en said thoughtfully: "Their real purpose is to deal with me. You are just implicated by me. You are my confidants. If one day I get sick and I am bedridden, why don't I just let them control me?" She just wants to break up the three of us, master and servant."
Qingbi said angrily: "The old lady is so poisonous and has such deep thoughts."
An Qien took a deep breath. It was getting late. She told Ziyun: "Prepare the carriage. It will be your brothers who have to do the hard work for the medicine store."
"This is what a humble job should do. The drug store is already doing it."
Ziyun was very efficient in doing things, and he was worthy of being someone who came from the Seventeenth Prince's side.
An Qi'en: "Thanks to you guys for taking action last night, otherwise it would have been a big mistake. It's really humiliating for you to come to the Marquis' Mansion to help. Qi'en sincerely thanks you all. If you ask me for anything in the future, I will definitely help you." I will repay you with all my strength."
At this moment, she is not the wife of the Hou Mansion, but Xie Ziyun as an ordinary person.
Qingbi and Bailu also quickly thanked Ziyun.
"Thank you, Brother Ziyun, for saving me."
Ziyun was panicked. How could he dare to accept such a heavy gift? He hurriedly said: "Madam, I'm sorry, you are in your humble position to do your job. Madam, don't worry about it."
The corners of An Qien's lips raised slightly.
Ziyun: "I have gone to work at my humble job."
"Go ahead."
Ziyun went to prepare the carriage, and An Qien returned to An's mansion with the two maids.
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she took a few reassurance pills, but her anger has not subsided.
Mother Wu comforted her: "Old madam, don't worry about getting angry. In a few days, the young madam will be unable to move. She is just jumping around for joy now. By then, she won't be a grasshopper in your hands!"
