Chapter 41
"Ms. Li, you don't have to threaten me. I didn't mean it. Humph, you have to pay me for hurting me." Maid Xiuzhi didn't dare to seize the problem again. The matter had been exposed, and she didn't dare to do it again.
Ms. Li had already seen through it, and this plan could no longer be accomplished. She couldn't afford the losses, so she could only wait for opportunities to plan other plans.
Something happened here. The mother-in-law and maids working there who were not attending the banquet gathered around to watch.
Mrs. Li was afraid that they would attack her, so she quickly returned to the young master's room regardless of the maid's cries.
"Look, Mrs. Li is so hateful. She bumped into someone, hurt someone, and yet she didn't even say a word of apology. I want to tell the young mistress." The maid was unwilling to scold Mrs. Li behind her back to hurt her.
reputation.
The maids and women in the yard were all in tune with the situation, and of course they obeyed their master and took the master's money, of course on the side of the young mistress. As for the servant Li, they would step on anyone they could.
So they also started talking in low voices and accused Li, saying that she was a country woman with no education. How could such a person teach a young master well?
Mrs. Li put all these valuables in a box in the little princess's room and added two locks.
She didn't know the locks in the young master's room, and who else had the keys, but two of the locks were new. They were the locks that the young master asked the housekeeper to buy for him. She thought the young master bought these locks as toys to play with.
But I didn't expect that it would come in handy now.
Li locked the two new locks on the box and took the keys with her.
Then she closed the door to the young master's room again, and she still wanted to go to the young master's side.
Xiuzhi, the one who caused the trouble, went back to the room and rubbed oil on his wound. He felt the wound was a little painful. He looked outside and saw that Mrs. Li had left the young master's room and out of the yard.
She suddenly had another idea. She came to the courtyard, asked someone to close the door of the courtyard, opened the door of the young master's room, and searched with her eyes where Li would put those valuable things.
Her eyes finally caught sight of a larger box. She could carry this box out, but she couldn't move such a big box out of the Tang Mansion.
The target of taking the box out is relatively large and may be seen by more people. Then her plan will not lead to fire?
Xiuzhi knew that perhaps the young lady would support what she was doing, but if exposed, she would not admit it and push her out as cannon fodder.
She, the maid, also had a key to the young master's previous box. She took out the key and was about to open the lock, but found that the box had two new locks.
"When did Mr. Li buy the lock?"
The maid Xiuzhi was so anxious that she tried the keys one after another, but failed to open the lock.
"Hmph, damn Li..."
The maid Xiuzhi couldn't open the lock of the box, so she could only stomp her feet bitterly, leave the room and close the door, shaking her head at the maid who was waiting for news outside.
The other maids and wives were of a lower rank than the eldest maid, and they kept listening to their orders. However, the eldest maid failed to succeed. They ignored the matter and went back to doing their own thing.
The maid didn't finish it, so she went out of the yard again. Her hands and feet were a little sore after being rubbed, and one of her feet was limping. She went out to find the maid next to the young mistress to report it.
The maid Ju Feng also whispered a few words into the young mistress's ear.
The young mistress figured it out and whispered to the maid Ju Feng beside her:
"Tell that person to let the young master arrange it."
The maid Ju Feng seemed to have understood what the young mistress meant, so she went out again and told the maid what the young mistress meant.
After listening to the order, Xiuzhi was unwilling but had no choice but to endure the pain and return to the young master's yard. She could only hate Mrs. Li even more in her heart.
Mrs. Li came to the living room and stood beside the young master.
"Nanny, I'm going to play with my companions." Tang Shunyan couldn't sit still for a long time, and his patience in waiting for Mrs. Li to come back was exhausted.
"This...okay!" Mrs. Li understood that children would not stay with adults for too long, and children would play with their peers.
It was a rare day when Tang Shunyan didn't have to go to school or practice martial arts, and there were so many male and female companions at home. He wanted to make good friends and play with his older cousins.
"Grandma, mother, dear elders, hello, I will go out to play later."
The eldest lady waved her hand kindly and said: "Go! Pay attention to safety."
"Son, don't go to high places with water or high places. Pay attention to your safety." The young lady said with some worry.
"Grandma, mother, I understand." Tang Shunyan assured in a low voice.
"Ms. Li, you have to watch carefully!" the young mistress warned Ms. Li again.
"Yes, young mistress." Mrs. Li lowered her head and responded.
Tang Shunyan ran out quickly with his short legs, even though others were trotting very fast.
"Young master, be careful of the door pit." Mrs. Li followed quickly behind, saying this constantly.
Tang Shunyan was jumping up and down. Since he learned the horse-carrying step, he has gained some martial arts skills, and the child's jumping ability is good. How can it be difficult to get him in a small door pit?
He jumped over with a jump of both feet, turned back to Mrs. Li and said with a smile:
"Nanny, Shunyan has grown up, I will pay attention to safety."
After listening to Tang Shunyan's words, Mrs. Li smiled and followed his footsteps.
The maid Mei Zhi also followed their footsteps. She served the young mistress and followed Li and the young master. Mei Zhi, one of the eldest maids in the young master's courtyard, was more scheming than Xiuzhi.
Tang Shunyan came to the garden and saw a group of children chasing each other, playing hide-and-seek and catching games.
He also wanted to join in. The ones who played so crazily were some boys. These people all came from wealthy families.
I was spoiled at home, and I was not idle when I came to the classroom. Many people from wealthy families often gathered together. These children knew each other as soon as they met, and they played games together.
"I want to join you too." The boys Tang Shunyan joined in these catching games were all older than him, and the oldest was only a few years older.
When I get older and have become a teenager, I will no longer play such childish games.
"Cousin Tang Shunyan, you are the youngest, how can your foot strength keep up with ours? Don't cry if you lose."
"That's right, little cousin, if you lose, don't cry, but you can't sue me."
One by one, the boys stopped playing and talked to Tang Shunyan.
"Hmph, don't look at me as a young person. I have already learned martial arts and I am definitely better than you. Let's see, can you weaklings beat me?"
Tang Shunyan was said so by this group of cousins. He was like a arrogant little rooster, ready to fight with each other.
"Hmph, you dare to say that we are weak chickens, my little cousin is not soft-spoken."
"I think my cousin refuses to admit defeat, so let's compete."
Everyone starts playing rock, paper, scissors, and the loser becomes the capturer, while the others become thieves.
Tang Shunyan and some other children became thieves, and one of their cousins became a catcher.
