The Way of Favors

Chapter 572

Ah Fu ah Xi went back to Wufu hall.

Shen Qing was already waiting for them. He looked at them carefully and asked with a smile, "what do you want your wife to do?"

Ah Xi looks at Ah Fu.

Ah Fu calmly said, "madam, if the four girls want to mention that you and master Biao fished together when the four girls come, we should try to interrupt the girl and not let the four girls know about it."

Shen Qing nodded: "I know. Ah Fu will go down first. Ah Xi will stay here to help me cut my nails. It's a little long."

Ah Fu retreated calmly.

Shen Qing watched her go out, turned to sit on the couch, lazy and leisurely. Ah Xi went to get the scissors and put the embroidered stool in front of the couch. She really wanted to cut her nails. This servant girl's mind is much simpler than Ah Fu's. Shen Qing smiles and signals her to put down the scissors and asks her in a low voice: "what did the lady say to you?"

Ah Xi raised her eyes in surprise, as if she didn't understand why she asked: "as Ah Fu said just now, madam is afraid that the four girls will be angry when they know about it. Yesterday, when we reported back, my wife didn't expect that, today, she specially reminded us that Ah, don't you believe us

As a hindsight, she stood up nervously and showed her loyalty eagerly: "girl, what we said is absolutely true. You, won't you break your promise?"

Shen Qing stares at her eyes.

Yesterday, when the two maids came back from the front yard, she broke one of the old lady's most precious emerald bracelets on purpose, so as to threaten them to listen to her. Otherwise, she and the old lady would falsely accuse them of their broken bracelet. When the old lady was angry, Lin could not protect them. She would be punished at home, or even sold out, or even put into prison. Ah Fu and ah Xi were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. She sent out another sweet date, and each of them gave a hundred taels of silver to ask them to do things for her. In the future, she would get another hundred taels for each person.

Shen Qing is willing to believe them, but she can't believe them all.

Shen Qing took out a silver ingot of five liang from her arms and whispered to ah Xi: "ah Xi, I believe you, but I don't believe Ah Fu very much. Here's the silver. If you find something wrong with Ah Fu in the future, such as secretly disclosing what I'm going to do to my wife, you can tell me, and I'll reward you with five Liang silver once you find out."

Ah Xi was overjoyed and took over the silver and said, "don't worry. Ah Xi will listen to the girl after that."

Shen Qing smiles with satisfaction, "OK, you go back first, hide the silver, don't let her see it."

Ah Xi left happily.

Back in the servants' room, I saw Ah Fu sitting at the door of her own house fiddling with needles and thread. She immediately came up. Ah Xi made a gesture of "hush" to his companion. After entering the room, he excitedly told Ah Fu what Shen Qing had done and showed off his new silver spindle.

Ah Fu is a little envious.

Madame said, as long as they cooperate well with the girl, don't show any betrayal in front of her. When the matter is over, the silver she gives will be theirs. In this way, they don't have to worry about being punished by their wives after the incident, and they have a large amount of money. Why not?

"I don't see. You're better at acting than I am." Ah Fu affectionately placed his companion's forehead.

Ah Xi said with a smile, "it's not because of your suggestion?" She was not an ungrateful person. She turned out a silver spindle and gave it to Ah Fu: "sister, don't be polite to me. Without you, I can't be a third-class servant girl in the lady's courtyard, and I won't find this beautiful job. In the future, we'll share weal and woe together, remind each other to do this job together!"

Ah Fu nodded happily.

What Shen Qing asked them to do was to inquire when Lin Shaotang would go to the garden.
