Chapter 25: Get Out
As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhi's face changed.

Xu Shuhe's face also darkened as he looked at Tinglan with sharp eyes.

"Do you really have such thoughts?"

Tinglan shuddered and shook her head, "I dare not, I am innocent, I am innocent."

"We are all listening to what you said. You said that the Second Young Master's wife is strong and it's not easy to go to the Second Young Master's courtyard. The Third Young Master and his wife are both good-tempered, which is not bad. It would be best to go to the Fourth Young Master's place. The Fourth Young Master will pass the imperial examination in the future and become a high-ranking official!"

Meixiang didn't give her a chance to explain and started talking nonstop, pointing at the scars on her body as she spoke.

"Third Young Master, Young Madam, look at me, if I was really that powerful, how could I let her beat me like this? Not only did she beat me, she also called on Mrs. Wang and Xiaolian to hold me down. If it weren't for the other sisters who intervened, I would have been beaten to death by her!"

After hearing these words, Chen Zhishi's face turned completely cold.

"Very good. It seems that sending Chunliu away today did not teach you a lesson. You dare to stir up trouble again. It seems that the young lady is too lenient to you, which makes you all lawless!"

"Zhang Ping!" Chen Zhi called in a deep voice.

Zhang Ping, who was standing guard outside, immediately walked into the room and asked, "Master, what do you want?"

"This girl called Tinglan is very cunning. There is no room for her in the mansion. Give her thirty strokes of the cane and send her to the farm to keep Chunliu company." Chen Zhi said directly, and then glanced at the people kneeling in the yard, "Those who helped her beat people just now will also be punished."

"Yes!" Zhang Ping bowed, walked forward and dragged Tinglan out.

Xinyue did not hesitate and called everyone else to pull Wang Po and Xiaolian out as well.

Soon, the sound of beatings could be heard in the yard. Cloths were stuffed in the mouths of several people, so no wailing could be heard. However, the maids watching the execution were also scared to death.

When the news spread, Wan Shuangzhai got the message and became angry again.

But she had just displeased Chen Huaiqian during the day, and he didn't come to her yard to rest at night. In addition, the crime Tinglan was accused of this time was the most unacceptable one at the moment. She wanted to be a concubine of the young master in the mansion, so Feng could only hold back her anger.

I could only try to put some eye drops in the next morning when I took the initiative to deliver breakfast to Chen Huaiqian.

However, Chen Zhi had already been taught by Xu Shuhe here. When he went to the shop with Chen Huaiqian, he explained a few words and resolved the problem perfectly.

Chen Huaiqian also said that a maid like Tinglan with evil intentions could not be kept.

After doing this, Xu Shuhe finally got what he wanted and drove out several people around him who had ulterior motives.

As for the rest, Meixiang is loyal enough and will serve her closely like Xinyue in the future. As for the others, just stay quiet for the time being and observe.

She had originally thought that her actions would cause dissatisfaction among Feng, but she did not expect that when she and her second sister-in-law Li Mingzhu went to pay their respects to Feng, Feng did not say anything unpleasant.

Maybe it's because he's in the spotlight right now and doesn't dare to act out, Xu Shuhe thought.

That's good. If she doesn't bother her, she can calm down and plan how to entertain Aunt Zhou when she comes.

The Zhou family's business has expanded to Kyoto, and they are obviously better than the Chen family's big merchants. If they can maintain a good relationship, it will definitely be beneficial to Chen Zhi's future development.

So in the next few days, Xu Shuhe was quietly busy with his own things.

By the way, let's also pay attention to Chen Zhi's progress. The fact is that Chen Zhi's business attribute value has hardly moved.

This also made Xu Shuhe realize that Chen Zhi's current status of working for his father was too slow in accumulating experience and knowledge, not to mention achieving anything, so he had to be allowed to become his own boss as soon as possible.

While Xu Shuhe was thinking about these things, someone from the front yard came to report that Jun Ge'er was making a fuss about wanting to see his mother, Chunliu, and the people below were unable to appease him.

Jun'er, the son that Chunliu gave to Chen Zhisheng, is four years old this year. Xu Shuhe had seen him on the wedding day. He was still a cute little kid. Adults' affairs should not involve children. The little kid doesn't know anything and only wants to find his mother. This is understandable. Xu Shuhe decided to go and see him.

When she came over, the child was crying in the nurse's arms, with red and swollen eyes, looking pitiful.

"Your servant greets the young madam." The wet nurse Liu hurriedly picked up the child and bowed.

Xu Shuhe waved his hand, "Forget it, how is the child?"

"My brother has been making a fuss for a few days now, crying all the time. He has damaged his health from crying these days. The Third Young Master came back late, so he came to see him and asked a doctor to come. But the child misses his biological mother, and this heart disease is difficult to cure. Today, my brother almost fainted from crying. I was afraid something might happen, so I asked someone to ask the young mistress to come." Liu explained with a worried look on her face.

After hearing this, Xu Shuhe frowned slightly, and looked at the child sobbing softly, feeling helpless.

He sighed inwardly, then bent over and coaxed him softly, "Jun'er, please stop crying, okay? The flowers in the garden outside are blooming, and there are butterflies. Can I take you to catch butterflies?"

"No!" Jun Ge'er shouted, looking at Xu Shuhe with vigilance and disgust, "You are a bad person, you hit my mother!"

His reaction made Xu Shuhe stunned, and Liu, who was holding him, immediately changed her expression.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense. This is your mother. The one before was just a maid. How could she be your mother?"

"It's okay, children don't understand." Xu Shuhe didn't care.

Instead, he took a small gadget that he had brought specially from Xinyue, handed it to the child, and said with a patient smile.

"Can I give this to you?"

Looking at the toy in front of him, Jun Ge'er seemed to be moved and slowly stretched out his hand. Xu Shuhe also took the initiative to hand it closer, but she didn't expect that the next second, the child suddenly grabbed her wrist with both hands and opened his mouth to bite her hand hard.

"what!"

Unexpectedly, the child attacked him suddenly. Xu Shuhe cried out in pain and quickly pulled his hand back. Xinyue was also frightened and hurried forward to check. She saw a row of obvious teeth marks on Xu Shuhe's hand, which were bleeding.

"Hey, kid, why are you biting me? Are you okay, girl?" Xinyue was very anxious.

The wet nurse Liu seemed to be frightened as well, and hurriedly apologized for the child. Jun'er also started crying at this moment, clamoring to see his biological mother and not this bad woman.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Xu Shuhe looked at the scars on his hands with a frown on his face. He felt a little angry, but it was not easy to reason with such an ignorant child.

She had no choice but to order people to comfort the child while she went back to treat the wound.

After coming back, Meixiang was also shocked when she saw the wound, "Why is this brother biting people? I've never heard that he has a bad temper before."

"How can one learn well by following that Chunliu? Poor young lady has to suffer this for nothing!" Xinyue complained.

Xu Shuhe was also a little annoyed. "Well, why bother with a child? He will always be unhappy if he is suddenly separated from his biological mother. He did see Chunliu being humiliated in front of me that day. It's not surprising that he doesn't like me. When the Third Young Master comes back in the evening, I will talk to him about the child."

After hearing this, the two maids had no choice but to say nothing.

However, he did not expect that as soon as Chen Zhi came back that night, before he had time to meet Xu Shuhe, he was urgently called away by someone in the front yard.

"Master, something's wrong. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm vomiting and having diarrhea, and my whole body is burning. Please go and take a look!"
