Luo Yuexin sobbed a few times, and tightly hugged onto Luo Yaochang's waist: "Big sister, is Xin really a jinx? Second Mother said that Xin had caused father's death. "

Luo Yaochang was even more furious in her heart, this damned woman actually instigated such a cruel thing into a ten year old child.

"Good girl, Xin is father's precious daughter, and is also big sister's happy fruit. Xin only needs to ignore the nonsense of outsiders. "

After comforting Luo Xinyue and seeing that she was about to fall asleep in her arms, she ordered someone to bring her away.

The current Luo Yaochang made people feel afraid. Although her calm face didn't have any expression, she still felt a sense of threat.

Second Madam's face was taut and her hands were wrapped around the brocade handkerchief. She was afraid that something was amiss. "Eldest, Eldest Miss, I … I didn't mean to hit you."

Luo Yaochang did not reply, she only slowly arrived under a tree that was covered in green leaves, and reached out to break a branch before biting down on it.

The Second Madam was even more nervous. In the past, whenever Luo Yaochang made a mistake, she would never make things difficult for her. But she clearly didn't understand the woman in front of her.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, even the sound of the wind blowing through the branches was ridiculously loud.

The corner of Luo Yaochang's lips curled up. Although she was smiling, it made everyone think that it was a rainbow before the storm.

"Second Lady, right? If you say you didn't mean to hit me, then you mean to hit Third Miss on purpose? According to the Huan Yue Nation's ancestral rules, the matriarch would be in charge of the Patriarch's life, and the matriarch would no longer be in charge of the direct disciples. And the current General's Estate should be controlled by the direct descendant of my General's Estate, right? "

Luo Yaochang shot a cold glance over, and seeing that Second Madam's hands were still trembling, she started to speak sternly: "Since this young lady is in charge of General's Estate, I wonder where Second Madam is going to find the guts to hit this young lady's direct sister? Your Censor father who went from the fifth rank? Or was it something else? This really makes my heart slightly cold. "

Second Madam Gu knelt on the ground with a thump. The handkerchief wiped the tears from her eyes as she said, "Eldest Miss, no, no …" I know I was wrong. Your excellency, please spare me in large numbers. This has nothing to do with my father. "

Luo Yaochang shot a glance of disgust, sat on the chair Lian had brought over and snorted: So that means, there are other imperial relatives supporting you?

Second Madam rolled her eyes and became even more nervous. Her action did not escape Luo Yaochang's sharp eyes.

"No, no."

"Lian, call Luo Qing over. Butler, call all the wives and maidservant servants over here. "

Pui! Luo Yaochang spat out the branch in her mouth and roared: "Do you really think that my General's Estate is empty? No one can control you? One by one, they were all about to overturn the heavens and gain power? Don't think that I don't know what you are doing in the dark. If I don't properly let you all remember the family rules and clan rules, do you really think that this direct daughter of mine is a soft persimmon that you can pinch however you please? "

Not long later, a small courtyard was filled with people. All sorts of expressions stood on their faces. Some of them were nervous, while others looked as if they were vowing to die.

"I don't want to kill them all. Second Madam, I'll give you two choices. One, pack up and go back to your Censor's office. "Two, accept the death of the magic staff."

Perhaps it was because he used too much strength, or perhaps it was because he was too angry, but when Luo Yaochang used a bit of force, the teacup in her hand shattered with a bang.

Between her fingers, a hint of blood-red flowed with the tea. She actually didn't feel any pain at all.

Upon seeing this, Lian's face was full of worry. Without caring about Luo Yaochang's objections, she helped Luo Yaochang bandage her wounds.

Everyone in the area gasped.

The two choices she gave him were both death. According to the rules of the Huan Yue Nation, if a married woman were to be returned to her family, she would have to suffer a hundred feet of long silk before dying, and her reputation would be ruined as well.

Seeing that the Second Madam had cried so much that she had lost her voice, Luo Yaochang spoke to Luo Qing in disgust.

"Luo Qing, drag the Second Madam down and punish her with thirty strokes, punished her to kneel in the Ancestral Hall. Without my order, you are not allowed to take even half a step out of the ancestral hall. "

When Second Madam heard this, she frantically kowtowed to express her gratitude. The reason why Luo Yaochang did not follow the clan rules and killed her was because she wanted to keep this piece that was swaying unsteadily for her use.

Luo Yaochang swept her eyes across everyone present.

Ever since she was young, she had had a photographic memory.

The different expressions of Third Madam and Fifth Madam entered her eyes. Well, when she was selling arms, she had seen a lot of people, and she was quite comfortable with the drama of these fights.

"I'll be frank with you today. I'll never raise slaves with half a mind. If anyone wants to leave, take a hundred silver and buy your indenture contract from me. I won't make things difficult for you."

A hundred silver taels, what a large number that was. The wages of an ordinary servant was only three to five taels of silver per month. If one were to get along well, some of the wages would only be seven to eight taels. How long would they have to make that?

Luo Yaochang knew all of these, but she knew even more that some of the maidservant's slaves were other people's pawns. If anyone could take out this silver, they would have to take bribes.

The beautiful woman who stood closest to Luo Yaochang walked out.

Luo Yaochang smiled sweetly, "Fifth Madam, you want to redeem yourself as well?"

Her words made Lian and the butler feel that it was funny.

Everyone knew that this Fifth Madam was born an elegant courtesan, the reason she could become the Fifth Madam of General's Estate was because the First Madam pitied her back then. But she had been ungrateful and had seduced the general and climbed into his bed.

In the end, it was the First Madam who begged for mercy, and that was why she obtained the title of Fifth Madam.

Fifth Madam clenched her teeth as she glared at Luo Yaochang, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. She smiled calmly, "Eldest Miss, where are you saying this? I only want to apologize to Eldest Miss. Because my humble concubine's body wasn't feeling well these few days, I hope that Eldest Miss can let my humble concubine leave first. "

"Of course, Fifth Madam's body is not well, so you should rest well." Luo Yaochang did not say anything. Just as Fifth Madam was about to leave the courtyard, she blurted out, "Fifth Madam, remember to greet the empress dowager on my behalf."

The Fifth Madam paused for a bit, and in the end, without turning around, left without replying.

After a long time, the courtyard was silent.

The maidservant slaves all looked to be in panic, waiting respectfully for Luo Yaochang to speak again.

After waiting for a while, Luo Yaochang felt that she was getting impatient. Whether these people were truly afraid of her or had other plans, she did not know.

"Luo Qing, all of the maidservant slaves in the second wife's room are to be punished by twenty pieces of the staff. They are to be paid for half a year's work."

When these words came out, a few of the maidservant slaves were so scared that their faces turned pale and they kneeled down to beg for mercy.
