Chapter 649: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (3)
Even the Liang family’s house was not saved.
Fortunately, when Madam Liang got married, she brought a generous dowry, which enabled the now impoverished Liang family to have a place to live in Anyang City.
However, compared with the large mansions of the past, this house seems much smaller and cramped.
"Sell all the people on the list!" Old Madam Liang said in a calm voice. She had already taken back the power to manage the household from her daughter-in-law, Madam Liang.
During this period, after several days of careful inspection and strict screening, Mrs. Liang finally decided to save money on personnel first.
This clever and calculating old woman took the list of servants and without hesitation marked out several names with a red pen.
The person chosen first was none other than the arrogant and domineering Madam Liu, who relied on the favor of her daughter-in-law, Madam Liang.
When she learned that she was about to be sold, Nanny Liu did not behave as panicked as one might imagine.
On the contrary, she stood up calmly, kowtowed respectfully to the Liang family, and then said slowly: "I know that I am old.
I am no longer as nimble and capable as I was when I was young. Since you, old lady, are determined to sell me off, I will accept this arrangement."
But in reality, Nanny Liu already had a plan in mind.
Over the years, relying on the Liang family's connections and Mrs. Liang's generosity with money, she has secretly accumulated a considerable fortune.
And just now, she had secretly sent someone to notify her husband and son to come and redeem her.
As long as she could leave the Liang family smoothly, she could still live a rich and worry-free life for the rest of her life.
"In that case, then you should drink this bowl of medicine and follow the human trafficker!" Madam Liang asked her confidant to come forward with a bowl of medicine. "Oh! By the way, as for your family, don't worry, they are waiting for you at the human trafficker's shop!
This family of six must be present in perfect order, and no one can be missing!"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Liu's eyes widened instantly, and cold sweat began to break out on her forehead: "Old Madam, I still don't understand what you mean!"
"How did your husband open his shop? All the things hidden in your house are from the Liang family." The old lady didn't even look at her, but said calmly, "Since it is a confiscation of family property, nothing can be left out."
When Matron Liu heard this, she collapsed to the ground, her face full of despair.
She thought she had everything under control, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Liang had already known her secret.
"Madam, please spare my family. I am willing to hand over all my savings." Madam Liu cried and begged.
Madam Liang sneered, "You know how to beg for mercy now? When you stole the property, did you ever think that this day would come?"
At this time, Ren Yazi urged impatiently.
Madam Liang waved her hand, and her confidant forced the medicine down Madam Liu's throat.
As soon as she took the medicine, Nanny Liu felt that she could no longer make any sound. It turned out that Madam Liang had never intended to take her life, but just didn't want her to have the opportunity to reveal the affairs of the Liang family to outsiders.
Even though the Liang family is defeated now, no one can predict what will happen in the future. At least the court did not deprive Liang Huaixin of his qualification as a student, and he can still take the imperial examination. This means that the court did not intend to kill him off.
Mrs. Liang was so frightened by her mother-in-law's move that she dared not speak for a moment.
"The old lady is so kind!" A maid beside Old Lady Liang was touched. "If it were in the past, it wouldn't be solved with just a bowl of mute medicine."
"I'm old! After all these years of being a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures, I can't bring myself to do it anymore." Old Madam Liang sighed with compassion and began to look through the list of servants.
The servants in front of and outside the hall were afraid to speak after seeing what had just happened.
Those servants who had been lazy or had done "evil things" in the past broke out in cold sweats and dared not even breathe!
"It seems that some people ran away when we moved here!" Madam Liang suddenly stopped looking through the list and asked, "Have the deeds of those people been handed over to the government?"
"They have all been sent over." It was still the old lady's confidant. "When we arrived at the house that day, we were responsible for checking the personnel. Those who escaped sent their indentures to the government office. I heard that they have been caught and sentenced.
It seems that some of them have been caught! I remember a maid who served in the lady's room before was tattooed on her face, with a big "slave" tattooed on her forehead. "
"It's pitiful. Why are you running around for no reason?" Mrs. Liang heard this and commented, "In such a chaotic world nowadays, you really think you can have a good life if you run away. There are so many passes to check on the road.
And those old bandits who occupy the mountains and act as kings, which one is easy to deal with? They really don't know how to live or die!"
Just a few words made these servants silent again!
Seeing that these people were almost scared, the old lady and the confidant looked at each other, and then continued: "I am not an unkind person. If the family can come to redeem the person, let them bring the money. If they don't have money, then I will only keep the people I need."
