"Yes, ma'am." With Wang Hao's words, the guards suddenly gained confidence, bypassed Nangong Rou, and went to search.
Seeing this situation, Nangong Rou burst into tears with anger, "Princess, you are too bullying. You bully me like this while the prince is not in the mansion. You simply don't take the prince seriously."
"My concubine is catching the thieves on behalf of the palace. You have all seen it. Who is making trouble for no reason?" Yun Ruoyue cast her cold eyes on everyone.
Now, she is going to force these people to make a choice.
She is here today to make an example of others, in order to show both kindness and power to these servants, to establish prestige for herself, and to let everyone know that she is the head of the palace, not Nangongrou.
She wants these servants to be more behaved when they see her in the future, and stop talking sarcasticly when they see her like before, and always look down on her.
All the people are in trouble.
On one side is the righteous and dignified concubine, and on the other side is the concubine of the prince.
Usually, the honest and hard-working servants who didn't make any money in the mansion naturally wanted to favor the princess.
But those who usually get a lot of money by making false reports and false accounts in the palace, naturally want to favor Nangong Rou.
After all, Nangong Rou is the head of the family, and everyone can make money together and search for the money of the palace.
Seeing everyone's hesitation and delay in making a statement, Yun Ruoyue sat on the chair and sneered, "From now on, I will be the head of the palace, if anyone dares to take the opportunity to embezzle the money of the palace, as long as it is found out, they will all be sent to the government for punishment. As for the things you committed in the past, as long as it is not a big deal, I can ignore the past, and the money you greedy in the past, as long as it is less than five hundred taels, I can not pursue it. But from now on, if anyone dares to be greedy for money , or do anything that is detrimental to the reputation of the palace, I will not let go of any of them."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other happily.
The concubine actually didn't pursue the mistakes they made in the past, as long as the money they had corrupted was less than five hundred taels, they wouldn't be held accountable.
That's great.
These ordinary servants, usually greedy for three melons and two dates at most, how can they be greedy for five hundred taels of silver, so they will definitely not be held accountable, so they can rest assured.
Before, they thought that they would be interrogated and held accountable by the princess like Li Xiucai and Dan'er, and they were all terrified.
With Wang Hao's promise, they were no longer afraid.
"Your Majesty, the servant stole the snacks from the kitchen last time, do you blame the servant?" said a fat cook.
"No." Yun Ruoyue said.
"Your Majesty, when the servant was sweeping the floor last time, he picked up ten copper coins in the yard and failed to hand them in. Do you blame the servant?"
"Won't."
"Your Majesty, last time the servant and the cook got into a fight because of a trivial matter, and accidentally broke a blue and white porcelain bowl in the kitchen"
Yun Ruoyue stood up and said, "It's okay. As I said before, as long as the matter before is not a big deal, and the money for corruption is less than five hundred taels, everyone will not be held accountable. But from today onwards, the palace must have the palace. According to the rules, there should be no more corruption of ink. Moreover, I will severely punish the crimes committed by Li Xiucai, Zhang Nanny, Dan Er and others, so as to serve as an example to others."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
The concubine is really powerful, both kind and powerful.
Not only the previous punishment was exempted, but also the future rules were established.
Moreover, the princess wanted to deal with those three people severely, but she spared them lightly. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
