Chapter 271: Kindness and Power [Sorry for the late update! ]

As soon as Jiang's words came out, all the managers below were shocked!

The Third Lady actually spoke to the Second Lady like this. She really didn't respect the Second Lady at all. Didn't she know the relationship between the Second Lady and the Old Lady?

Nanny Zhou was also very surprised. Jiang was so tough. Wasn't she afraid of angering the old marquis and the old lady?

Xiaokang's face darkened instantly. Who the hell did Jiang think he was? How dare he talk to her like that?

"I just can't stand you beating up the servants at will. You're not afraid of people being upset by doing this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Geng burst into tears sadly.

"Thank you very much, Madam, for your consideration. I never thought that I had worked hard in the Marquis' Mansion for many years. Even if I had no merit, I had worked hard. Today, I don't know why I offended the master and was humiliated by Madam Three."

As soon as these words were spoken, the stewards and maids who had just been slapped started sobbing.

Su Qingwan frowned coldly. How dare these people say they didn’t know why they were beaten?

Maybe they took some amnesiac medicine. The things that happened when they talked about the master's family behind their backs just passed by their eyes, and now they have forgotten about it.

But she didn't say anything, wanting to see how her mother would handle it.

Jiang glanced at her daughter and saw that she was drinking tea calmly. She couldn't help but feel more confident. She looked at Chen Geng coldly and sneered.

"How dare these servants talk about the master's family behind his back? According to the rules, they can be beaten and scolded. If I sit back and do nothing, I'm afraid that if the news gets out, people will laugh at the Marquis's mansion for having no rules!"

Jiang raised her eyebrows, her face suddenly became serious, and she continued, "Speaking of which, Manager Chen has worked in the Marquis' Mansion for many years and has indeed worked hard. But you don't look old, so how come your memory is not good? Ha! Since you don't have a good memory, from now on, you should go to the farm outside to be raised. After all, you are an old man in the Marquis' Mansion, and we can't drive you out, right?"

Chen Geng was dumbfounded!

The other managers and maids were equally dumbfounded!

Is this how Manager Chen was fired?

He was also exiled to a farm outside. The life on the farm was far worse than that in the marquis' mansion.

If Chen Geng went to the manor, it would be harder than climbing to heaven for him to return to the marquis's mansion.

Xiaokang's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang in disbelief.

Is she crazy?

She actually dared to send Chen Geng to the farm. Did she know that Chen Geng was the old lady's man? Even when Liu was the housekeeper, she didn't dare to touch Chen Geng.

Jiang Shi is so good. Not only did she beat the man up, but she is also sending him to the farm. Isn't she afraid that the old lady will come after her!

"Third Madam, please don't joke. If I go to the farm outside, the renovations in the mansion will not be able to continue." Chen Geng sneered.

He is the old lady's man. It is a joke that Jiang, a daughter-in-law who just came back from outside and is not favored by the old lady, wants to drive him away.

Su Qingwan looked at the arrogant Chen Geng calmly. This man was very confident. He was probably betting that his mother would not dare to do anything to him.

But he was wrong. Even if he was not touched now, he would not be allowed to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for long.

It just so happens that he showed up today, so let's start with him.

"Joke? Who is in the mood to joke with you? Do you still think you've done a good job?" Jiang almost laughed when she saw his arrogant look.

“Even if it’s not great, it’s still okay.”

You are a woman, what do you know about repairing a house? Even the first lady never asked about this matter, so who do you think you are, the third lady!

Chen Geng kept complaining in his heart, he looked down on the Jiang family from the bottom of his heart.

"Not bad?" Jiang seemed to have heard something funny and finally sneered.

"When Qingfeng Pavilion was being renovated, it was reported that 3,000 large blue bricks were used, but what were actually used? Don't you know? There are also the glazed tiles of the ancestral hall, the pillars of Biying Hall, and the floor tiles of Lingfeng Residence..."

"Not to mention the shoddy goods that can be counted, but also the wages of the craftsmen who worked for the Marquis' Mansion. They were supposed to be paid 40 coins a day, but you only paid 20 coins a day. When you finally paid them, you even deducted 5 coins a day for rest allowance. Humph! I didn't know you were so good at accounting, Chen Geng. You even embezzled money so blatantly!"

Jiang said it all one after another. These were just the tip of the iceberg of what she remembered. Qingwan and she had found many more loopholes. After all, Chen Geng had been in the Marquis' Mansion for many years.

Over the years, he has made a lot of money.

Chen Geng's face turned pale instantly. He was not afraid at first because even if these things were found out, it was the old lady's consent, and the money for the materials also went into the old lady's pocket.

But from what Liu said, she even knew that he had deducted the five cents. He kept the money for himself and had been doing so for all these years.

The eldest lady never cared about it before, so why was it pointed out to Jiang?

But thinking that the old lady would definitely protect him, he said anxiously: "Third Madam, please don't wrongly accuse me. The first lady and the old lady know what I did."

When Jiang heard him say this, she secretly admired Qingwan for having expected that he would make such an excuse.

"Humph! At this time, he still dares to criticize the old lady and my eldest sister-in-law. Damn it! Come, drag him out and give him thirty lashes, and then go to the farm with the family every year."

"Third Madam, you can't do this. You can't. I am an elder in the Marquis' Mansion. I want to see the old lady. I want to see... um!"

Qing Da didn't care who this grandson wanted to see. He called two brothers forward, covered his mouth and dragged him out.

Suddenly, there were crackling sounds outside, as well as Chen Geng's miserable cries.

Xiaokang didn't expect Jiang to beat someone up just like that, and she was stunned for a moment. What's more, what happened just now happened too quickly, and she didn't even have a chance to get a word in before Chen Geng was dragged out and beaten.

Jiang glanced at Xiaokang with a cold look, which made Xiaokang shiver.

What's wrong with you?

She was just dealing with a servant, what's the big deal?

But Xiaokang didn't want to stay here anymore, so he left in a hurry.

Jiang didn't care at all and just ordered:

"Let Liu Wu take charge of Chen Geng's affairs. From now on, he will be in charge of the renovation of the Marquis' Mansion."

Liu Wu is not here, but someone has gone to inform him.

Aunt Rong took Jiang's signal and said, "Mrs. Qi, who is in charge of the daily furnishings and decorations of the first room, and Mrs. Sun, who is in charge of the cleaning of the third room, come out and listen!"

After the incident with Chen Geng, the stewards and maids became much more obedient. No one dared to respond to Jiang's words, for fear that she would find an excuse to deal with them.

Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Sun were both standing on the side that was not beaten. When they heard this, they stepped forward timidly, lowering their heads with expressions of humility and fear.

"Third Madam Zhuang An!"

The two maids bowed.

"Brother Jie passed away not long ago and Yunrou is in mourning, so the decorations and ornaments in the first room are simple and elegant. Mother Qi did a good job in this regard."

Jiang said calmly that after sentencing Chen Geng just now, it was time to reward him. The purpose was to let these servants know that the Third Madam had a sharp eye.

"I will do my best to serve the Marquis's Mansion."

When Mrs. Qi heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and bowed her body even more respectfully.

"Mother Sun is also very rigorous in her work, and she does a very good job of daily cleaning in the third room."

Jiang praised again.

"Thank you for your praise, Madam Third. I will definitely follow your instructions in the future."

Mrs. Sun also looked respectful.

"Each of you will be rewarded one tael of silver. From now on, every month, two people with outstanding performance will be selected and each will be rewarded one tael of silver."

Jiang said calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the maids and old women lit up, and they looked at Jiang with a little more respect.

The news that Chen Geng was beaten soon spread to Rong'an Hall.

When old Mrs. Kang heard that Chen Geng was killed by Mrs. Jiang on some pretext, she felt unhappy.

Chen Geng is her own man, so just like that, he is dealt with. Who will work for her in the future?

"Madam, I heard from the Third Lady that when calculating the wages for the craftsmen, Manager Chen shortchanged each person by five cents. He has earned a lot over the years." Madam Xu told Madam Kang what she had heard.

Old Kang was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "You bastard, you dare to ignore my money."
