The servants in Shen Xuanlin's courtyard were brought over, so there was no need to interrogate them. Shen Dong was already furious. Those servants had drunk faces and were emitting the smell of alcohol. It was clear that they had not woken up yet.

The Xiao family's people sneered. "I have never seen such a bold servant who is even more nourished than my master."

Shen Dong suddenly slapped the table, causing the teacup on the table to jump and emit a loud sound: "Good, you bold servants, you've truly gained courage! "Someone …" He wanted to drag these people out and beat them to death.

"Father," Shen Ninghua interrupted Shen Dong. "Grandmother's body is unwell. It's best not to see the blood and dirt in her yard. Otherwise, it would be too much of a shock."

Shen Dong frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Shi: "Mother, what do you think we should do with these people?"

Mrs. Xiao's eyes swept across Shen Ninghua, "So it turns out that I'm the one in charge of the backyard, but as you can see, my body is getting worse and worse every day, so it's better not to take over my responsibilities. I think that if I hand over the authority of a butler to the Su Family, her mind is working, and she won't do anything bad. As for these servants, he would leave them to Ning Hua. Xiao Hua is the most kind-hearted, and seeing that his little brother has been treated so harshly, he must be very angry. "

The reason why Shen Dong had given the authority of a butler to the Xiao Clan was because he didn't want the Second and Third Branch to interfere. However, now that the Xiao Clan wanted to bring up the Su Clan, he couldn't refute them publicly. He could only grit his teeth and agree.

A trace of coldness flashed through Shen Ninghua's heart. She respectfully nodded her head and said, "Father, these underlings' actions are arrogant. There might be someone more outrageous than them in the future. Since we want to punish them, why don't we make an example of them and call all the servants over to watch?"

"Alright, that's fine. You can arrange it." Shen Dong felt that there was nothing wrong, so he nodded his head indifferently.

"Then please ask father to order the servants in your courtyard to come over as well."

Shen Dong hesitated for a moment. He thought Shen Ninghua wanted him to back her up, so he did not object, "Alright, don't cause too much trouble."

"Yes, Xiao Hua is leaving." Shen Ninghua stood up and turned around to instruct the bluebird, "Call all the servants of the Shen family to the edge of the garden pond. Remember, even if they broke their legs, if they have any breath left, bring them over to me."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua raised the corner of her lips. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the frozen expression of the Xiao family. She laughed coldly in her heart. It was only to make things difficult for her.

If she punished him too severely, then the benevolent image she deliberately created would be gone. A person who was good at camouflage and was ruthless would naturally not be a filial person. His previous efforts would have been in vain. If she had dealt with him lightly, not to mention whether Shen Xuanlin would hate her, those servants might even think that she was a weakling that could be bullied. In the future, she wouldn't even have a single word of authority in the Shen family.

The Xiao family could be considered very good, but there was one thing that she had miscalculated. The current her did not have the ability to lay her plans. If she was fine, then after he dealt with those servants, she might really succeed in guiding the rumors. But now, she couldn't even take care of herself anymore. How many of those people were sincerely praising her?

When Shen Ninghua's order was spread out, everyone in the Shen Mansion started to move about. When they found out that the news came from Shen Xuanlin's Elites Residence, they immediately became furious. They knew what the servants were doing, but they never thought that they would be caught by their masters. They were afraid that they would be implicated at this time. However, they did not dare to waste too much time, and ran towards the garden pond one by one.

A cushion was placed in a pavilion beside the pond. Shen Ninghua was currently sitting there drinking tea, while Bai Yu and the other three were standing behind Shen Ninghua with serious expressions on their faces. When everyone arrived, they didn't dare to make the slightest sound and all held their breath as they stood on the spot.

Shen Ninghua drank half a cup of tea before turning her head to look at the orderly crowd standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Greetings, Eldest Miss." Everyone kneeled down and saluted.

Shen Ninghua did not cry out. Instead, she turned to Bai Yu and asked, "Is everyone here?"

"Reporting to Miss, the First Madam and the servants beside Second Miss have not arrived yet."

"The people beside Mother aren't here?" Shen Ninghua slightly creased her brows. After pondering for a while, she opened her mouth and said, "Then let's wait."

Shen Ninghua raised her teacup and continued drinking her tea. However, the people below were dissatisfied. They were still kneeling! Many of these people were respectable servants around their masters. Who knew how long they had waited before kneeling down. Now that they had been humiliated by Shen Ninghua, how could they accept it?

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Ninghua frowned and put down the teacup in her hand. "Hong Ling, the Scourge head over there to ask why Mother and Second Sister are so slow when all the people in Father's courtyard have arrived."

"Yes, miss."

Shen Ninghua stood up and walked to the front of the stairs. Looking at the many people on the ground whose faces had turned pale, she said, "I know that many of you are very respectable people, even more respected than my master."

Some people could not help but get angry, "Masters are masters, as servants, we do not dare to compare ourselves with Eldest Miss."

Shen Ninghua turned her head and said, "You must be a maidservant from his third sister's courtyard. You look quite familiar." The one who spoke was Shen Yulan's serving maid.

The maidservant raised her face, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Shen Ninghua walked in front of her and looked down at her condescendingly. "Since you know you can't be compared with me, you shouldn't refute me with words."

"Eldest Miss didn't even let this servant say anything. Then, what chance do we servants have to live?"

Shen Ninghua sneered, pulling the hairpin from the top and tossing it into the pond. "Bluebird, get her to go down and help me find the hairpin. If you can't find the hairpin, you're really dead."

"Yes, miss." The cyan sparrow immediately rushed forward and picked up the servant girl with an expressionless face and threw her into the pond.

The maidservant widened her eyes in fright. She did not expect Shen Ninghua to do this. "Ah, help, wuuuuu …"

Everyone was shocked by Shen Ninghua's actions. They never thought that Shen Ninghua would have such guts. The anger and contempt in their hearts slowly dissipated as they tremblingly kneeled on the ground. These servants were just like this. When their masters were weak, they would be arrogant. If their masters were tough, they would immediately start worrying about their lives.

Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at the struggling maidservants, her eyes filled with indifference, "Since mother and the servants in second sister's yard aren't coming over yet, then we won't wait any longer. Bluebird, throw those people in Xuan Lin's courtyard out of the bar and wake them up."

"Yes, miss." The Cyan Sparrow's movements were extremely fast, and even the servants who had drunk the wine had the time to resist, and were directly thrown into the lake with a kick.

Shen Xuanlin stood close to Shen Ninghua with a tense expression.

Shen Ninghua lowered her head to ask him, "Xuanlin, are you afraid?"

Shen Xuanlin shook his head, "No."

Shen Ninghua laughed, "That's more like it. You are the master, and those people are all servants. If you serve them comfortably, don't be stingy in giving them some dignity." Those servants who could not show their master their faces will immediately be beaten to death to vent their anger. All of them have signed the indenture contract, with this piece of paper, they will not be afraid no matter where they go. "

"Big sister, I'll remember it." Shen Xuanlin's eyes lit up, his black eyes stared coldly at the servant in the lake, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

Shen Ninghua nodded, "Alright, since you understand, then I'll let these servants live. It's up to you to decide what to do with them."

"Alright, thank you elder sister."

"We don't need to thank each other." Shen Ninghua smiled at him, then once again turned to look at the servants kneeling on the ground. His expression darkened, "Xuan Lin wants to personally deal with those few servants. You guys send a few people to fish them up."

The few servants who were kneeling down looked at each other, ignoring the pain in their knees, they got up and jumped into the pond to fish for people.

The few of them drank quite a bit, but when they woke up in the water, their bodies were powerless. It was not easy for them to find someone to save them, so they immediately tightened their grip, not wanting to move an inch. It took them almost a quarter of an hour to drag everyone ashore.

The servants in the water were so tired that they laid on the ground gasping for breath. It took them a while to recover their composure.

Shen Ninghua swept her gaze across the crowd and said, "Bluebird, go get some silver. Those who just jumped into the water to save people, each of them will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Take the silver and go back to rest."

One hundred silver taels?

"This servant thanks Eldest Miss."

Many people felt regret in their hearts. Why didn't they obediently go into the water to save him? If they had jumped into the water, they could have taken the money to rest now. A hundred taels of silver was something they needed to save for several years.

In his heart, he was no longer dissatisfied with Shen Ninghua and instead mocked the servant beside Shen Xuanlin in his heart. This servant should have the appearance of a servant, why did he have to lose his identity and cause the young miss to be unhappy?

Hong Ling walked over. "Miss, the servants from the Spring and Snow Garden have arrived."

Shen Ninghua looked at the lead, Qin mama, and said, "Senior Servant Qin arrived somewhat late. The people in Father's courtyard have been waiting for a long time."

When she saw the scene before her, Qin mama's heart skipped a beat. She realized that one of the people kneeling on the ground was a servant in Shen Dong's courtyard, making her bad feeling even worse. Now that she heard Shen Ninghua say this, she quickly kneeled down and apologized, "Eldest Miss, this servant came late. Please punish me."

Shen Ninghua did not care about her stiff attitude. When he heard her apology, he did not make any further actions to make things difficult for her. Now that the matter has been settled, I hope everyone can take it for granted. I don't want to leave in front of so many people to punish my servants. "

Qin mama suddenly raised her head. "Eldest Miss, your servant and the rest are feeling uneasy. Please …"

Bai Yu interrupted her. "Qin mama, you've already admitted your wrongs just now, and Miss didn't pursue the matter. Just thank Master. You all must thank her. You all worked hard, so you can't be compared to others."

Qin mama felt a lump in her throat. If Shen Ninghua had made things difficult for them like earlier, then the matter would have been easy to handle. But Shen Ninghua had just punished them and bypassed her alone, then she and the rest of them would have been filled with hatred.

Without even looking back, Shen Ninghua led the group straight back to Moon Pavilion.

She had just taken off her clothes when Hong Ling rushed in. "Miss, just now, news was sent from the young master's side that those servants have been beaten to death by random sticks."

Shen Ninghua looked up, "Xuan Lin gave the order?"

"Yes."

"Mm, got it." Shen Xuanlin was indeed a wolf cub.
