Chapter 333: Beating the Servants
Back in the main hall, Shen Xiangwan briefly talked about what happened on the battlefield, and never mentioned the fact that Wei Chengyi almost lost his life. Even so, Zhao Yuping couldn't help but shed tears several times. Fortunately, Wei Ling'er had calmed down. Yun Mengyi and Yue Ruyan were both gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, so the situation did not get out of control and the atmosphere was still warm.

"You have done a great job. The people are praising you. Chengyi, Wanwan, and Yunran, you have worked hard."

After the excitement, Zhao Yuping took Shen Xiangwan's hand and said with relief, "It's a big deal that the Western Hu people broke through the border. Almost everyone is talking about it. Even if they didn't receive any military reports, they heard about the Wei family army. After this war, she also completely figured it out. The dog emperor is unkind, and they are unjust. Why can't they overthrow him? The worst case scenario is death. No one in the Wei family will be afraid!"
"It's not hard at all. We just did what we were supposed to do."

Several people looked at each other, Shen Xiangwan said disapprovingly, and then he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Zhou Wushuang and said: "Gather all the servants in the house."

The servants should already know about their affairs, so this is a good opportunity to give them some warning.

"Yes, ma'am."

Probably guessing what she was going to do, Zhou Wushuang bowed and saluted before retreating. She was the one who served the old lady personally, so she naturally knew what the emperor had done to them. As a servant in this family, she was also angry. In addition, she herself was exiled to Chenzhou, and her husband and children all died. She also had hatred for the emperor and the court in her heart. Therefore, even if she knew that they were going to rebel, she was not afraid, and she hoped from the bottom of her heart that they could overthrow this corrupt dynasty that had been rotten to the core and lead the people to live a prosperous and good life.

"Wanwan, don't worry, we have already warned the servants at home."

Zhao Yuping, who had also guessed something, said softly that everything happened too suddenly that day and could not be hidden from the servants at home. Mengyi had warned them that day, and she also warned them later. At least for now, no one knew about their affairs except their family members and the branch family who noticed something was wrong. They only claimed to the outside world that the couple went to the provincial capital to visit their elders and business partners.

"It's okay, I'm just saying a few words."

Shen Xiangwan smiled and shook her head. How could she not know that they had warned her? However, she still had to say what she had to say. After all, she was the mistress of this family and one of the people who could really make the decision.

"Ah."

Since that was the case, Zhao Yuping said no more. After carefully looking at her, she said distressedly: "Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight in just over a month. Don't go to the battlefield again."

"···"

Shen Xiangwan was speechless. How could she not know whether she had lost weight or not? At this moment, she finally understood what it meant for the elders to think that you had lost weight.

There were not many servants in the Wei family, only a dozen or so in total. Soon they lined up in several rows and gathered in the main hall. Shen Xiangwan did not speak immediately, but slowly picked up the teacup, lifted the lid with his white and slender fingers, and elegantly and calmly swung the floating camellia flowers. It took a while before he brought it to his lips and sipped it. The whole main hall was silent.

"Do you know why we gathered you together?"

After a moment, Shen Xiangwan put down the teacup, and a soft and pleasant voice slowly rang out. All the servants couldn't help but shudder, and they all bowed at the same time: "Madam, please tell me clearly."

They were not stupid and probably knew why she was looking for them, but no one dared to say it. They had been in this family for a long time and everyone knew who was the real boss of this family. Although the lady seemed to be very kind to others, it could be seen from the fact that she ruthlessly sent away those young boys and girls that she was much more cruel than the old lady and the others.

"You should all know about the Wei family, so I won't say much. Rebellion is a capital crime that will punish all nine generations of your clan. If you fail, no matter if you are servants or not, you will all be beheaded by the court. Now I'll give you a chance. If you are afraid, stand up and I'll have someone escort you away."

Shen Xiangwan no longer pretended to be ignorant and went straight to the point. She would give them a chance to choose now, and she would keep her word. As long as anyone stood up, she would send them back to the pawnshop. But before that, she would let the hypnotist hypnotize them first, so that they would forget about the Wei family and fabricate an ordinary memory to replace it. "I am willing to follow the Wei family and serve the old lady forever."

Zhou Wushuang was the first to kneel on the ground and express her stance. After her husband died, her heart also died. It was the Wei family that gave her warmth and the motivation to continue living. She was willing to follow them even if she had to become a ghost.

"The servants are willing too."

The Wu family looked at each other and leaned forward at the same time. If it weren't for the madam, their family would have been separated long ago. How could they have enough food and clothing like now, and how could their children be able to learn to read and write, practice martial arts and keep fit? They had long regarded themselves as part of this family, and no matter what, they would not leave.

"The servants are willing too."

The cooks looked at each other and made the same decision at the same time. In the Wei family, they received respect that servants could never get, and this alone was enough to make them follow him until death.

"Minions too."

The rest of the people were afraid of being left behind, so they all knelt on the ground. If the master was not afraid, what should they, the slaves, be afraid of? After coming to this family, not only did their bodies recover, but they also felt very happy. Their lives were better than many good people. Even if they died, it would be worth their life in this world. There was nothing to be afraid of.

"very good."

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan stood up and walked slowly between them: "Remember, I gave you the opportunity to choose, and you were willing to stay. If anyone regrets it in the future and does something that harms this family, don't blame me for being cruel!"

"Yes."

Everyone couldn't help but shudder again, but still responded in unison. They knew very well that as long as they had no intention of betraying the Wei family, there was no need to be afraid. No matter whether it was the old lady or the second master and the lady, they were not the kind of people who would randomly capture people and attack them.

"Go down."

Waving his hand, Shen Xiangwan returned to sit next to Wei Chengyi.

"Yes."

After responding again, everyone filed out of the hall, and only Zhou Wushuang and Wu Shuiyu stayed to continue serving.

Afterwards, Zhao Yuping asked a lot of questions about the battlefield, and Mu Yunran basically answered them. Shen Xiangwan and his wife only responded with a sentence or two occasionally. When Ji Shaohan came back from outside, he saw the lively situation at home. However, he did not care about the people who came back, and only carefully served Yun Mengyi, who was six months pregnant.
