"Yes, niangniang." With wang fei's words, the guards instantly gained confidence. They circled around Nangong Rou and went to search.
Nangong Rou saw this situation and was so angry she cried, "Wang fei, you are too much of a bully. Taking advantage of wang ye's absence in the fu, you dare to bully me like this. You are not putting wang ye in your eyes."
"This princess is trying to catch the traitor on behalf of the prince's estate. You've all seen it, so who's the one causing trouble?" Yun Ruoyue's cold eyes swept over everyone.
She was going to force these people to make a choice right now.
Today, she made an example out of Nangong Rou so that she could show these servants both kindness and power. She wanted to establish her prestige and let everyone know that she was the one in charge of the Prince's Mansion and not Nangong Rou.
She wanted these servants to behave when they saw her in the future. They shouldn't be like in the past when they saw her and always look down on her.
The servants were all in a dilemma.
On one side was the righteous and dignified wang fei. On the other side was wang ye's favored concubine.
Normally, they didn't get any money in the fu and were honest and diligent servants. Naturally, they wanted to be biased towards wang fei.
But usually, they relied on false accounts to get a lot of money in the fu. Naturally, they wanted to be biased towards Nangong Rou.
Since Nangong Rou was in charge, everyone could get money together and take the fu's money.
Seeing everyone hesitate and not dare to express their stance, Yun Ruoyue sat down on the chair and sneered: "In the future, I will be in charge of this fu. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to embezzle the fu's money, as long as it is verified, they will all be sent to the authorities. As for your previous crimes, as long as it isn't anything major, I can let bygones be bygones. As for the money you embezzled before, as long as it is less than five hundred taels, I can also let bygones be bygones. But starting from today, if anyone dares to embezzle money or do something that is detrimental to the reputation of the wang fu, I won't let anyone go. "
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in joy.
Wang fei wasn't going to pursue their previous crimes. As long as the embezzlement was less than five hundred taels, she wouldn't pursue it.
mark(“zhong“);
That's great.
Ordinary servants like them usually only coveted three melons and two dates at most. How could they covet five hundred taels of silver? Therefore, they were certain that they would not be investigated. Thus, they were relieved.
Previously, they had thought that they would be interrogated and held accountable by the Princess Consort just like Li Xiucai and Dan'er. They had all been scared witless.
With the princess's promise, they were no longer afraid.
"Niang niang, this servant stole the pastries from the kitchen last time. Do you blame this servant?" A chubby chef asked.
"No," Yun Ruoyue said.
"Niang niang, last time when this servant was sweeping the floor, this servant found ten copper coins in the courtyard and didn't hand them over. Do you blame this servant?"
"I won't."
"Niang niang, last time this servant and the cook fought over a small matter and accidentally broke a blue and white porcelain bowl in the kitchen …"
Yun Ruoyue stood up and said, "It's fine. I've said before that as long as the embezzlement is less than five hundred taels of silver, I won't pursue it. But from today onwards, the wang fu must abide by the rules of the wang fu. No more embezzlement is allowed. Moreover, I will severely punish Li Xiucai, Granny Zhang, and Dan'er for their crimes as a warning to others. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The princess consort was really something. She had shown mercy and mercy at the same time.
Not only did she exempt them from their previous punishments, she also set the rules for the future.
Moreover, the princess consort wanted to severely punish the three of them, but let them off lightly.
