I quickened my pace and walked towards Mrs. Guihai, hoping to buy as much time as possible until Guihai and Yueming came back to rescue her. Just as I was walking forward with all my strength, Pingtong hurried over with Juxiang.
"Oh, you're finally back. I was just about to find you." Pingtong ran over panting and said urgently: "There's no need to go to my aunt's place. Xiaoliu and Lingzhou were taken to the backyard to firewood by the housekeepers. Room is available."
I was stunned and asked, "What are you taking to the woodshed for?"
Pingtong stamped her feet, "Are you so stupid that you would still torture me in your aunt's room? Of course you should find a secluded place."
I asked anxiously: "How come it's so fast? Have all the trials been completed?"
Pingtong said angrily: "What are you interrogating? That cheap maid Yan Wu just believed whatever her aunt said. She didn't listen to Lingzhou and Xiaoliu's explanation at all, and she let the steward take her away for execution without even asking a few questions."
"Cousin, thank you for coming to report. I was so impatient that I took a step ahead." I was so anxious that I left Pingtong behind and ran all the way to the backyard without caring about my image.
"It's all my fault. Please let me soak the pig cage instead of Xiao Liu..." Before entering the hospital, Lingzhou's pleading could be heard from a distance.
Xiaoliu's voice immediately sounded, "No, brother Lingzhou, it doesn't matter if Xiaoliu dies, but I can't worry about Miss, you must live on, tell Miss for me that Xiaoliu is unjust, and if there is an afterlife, I will still be Miss's girl." …”
My eyes were sore after hearing this, so I kicked open the courtyard door and tried my best to smile: "Fool, haven't you been a girl enough in this life? Reincarnate as my sister in the next life."
At this time, Xiaoliu had been stuffed into the pig cage, and several stout servants were wrapping hemp rope around the pig cage to make it stronger and unable to break free.
"Stop!" I shouted coldly.
Xiao Liu saw my eyes light up and cried: "Miss, you are back..."
Lingzhou was kneeling on the ground with her arms tied behind her back. When she saw me, she cried with joy and said, "Grandma, please save Sister Xiaoliu quickly. We have been wronged..."
The servants froze when they heard my shout, and they all looked at the housekeeper standing next to them.
I have met the steward a few times, but I have never interacted with her. I don’t know what her character is like. I was just trying to hold her back to buy some time when I heard a familiar and charming voice say: “This is an order from the madam. Who dares to stop?"
I followed the sound and found that Yan Wu, who was standing among a group of girls, was looking at me proudly, her eyes full of provocation.
"Are you talking to me?" I smiled at her abruptly, walked slowly to her, lowered my head and looked down at her, and said word by word: "You bitch, you dare to be rude to your master and grandma, I am here today I'll teach you the rules." Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped her face hard.
"Ouch..." Yan Wu probably didn't expect that I would do it without any scruples in front of everyone. She screamed and was immediately hit hard by me and fell to the ground. Her pink and pretty face was also swollen. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of mixed food. Bloody saliva.
"You little maid, please kneel down and learn the rules from me today." I was afraid that she would go to Mrs. Guihai to report the news, so I simply made her kneel down and unable to move.
Although Yan Wu was so angry that her eyes were about to burst out with fire, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and get up and kneel on the ground with her increasingly swollen face.
I raised my hand and gently rubbed my wrist, which was slightly numb due to excessive exertion. I raised my eyes and glanced at the remaining servants, women, and girls who were stunned, and sneered slightly: "Who else has something to say?"
Everyone fell silent, even the servants tying the pig cages stopped, glanced secretly at the nun in charge, and then lowered their heads.
The nun in charge would not have been able to sit in this position without a wink. Seeing my menacing approach, she looked unkind and took two steps forward with a forced smile: "Hey, grandma, why are you angry with a slave? Quickly calm down.
"Speak slowly if you have anything to say." But when I was not prepared, he winked at a confidant servant and motioned her to go to Mrs. Guihai to report the news.
I was just here to delay time. Naturally, I couldn't let the servant girl report the news. I pointed at her and pretended to be angry: "Who is that? Why did you run away without bowing to me when you saw me? Are all of them so unruly? Let me tell you later.
Uncle, let him straighten out the atmosphere in the house..."
The servant woman didn't dare to run anymore. She was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Grandma, please forgive me. I don't dare to run anymore. Please don't tell the master..."
Guihai Yueming is gentle and kind, never loses his temper with his servants, and rarely cares about the affairs of the inner house, but for some reason these servants and ladies are afraid of him. In Guihai Mansion, his name is as useful as Shang Fang's sword.
When the steward saw this, she quickly responded to the situation and said: "Grandma, please don't be angry. There is no need to alarm the master of the house for such a trivial matter. Wait until the old slave turns around and scolds this stupid thing who has been blinded by lard." She rolled her eyes.
, changed the topic and whispered: "Grandma is here for Miss Six, right? But this is the madam's order, and the old slave can't be the master. I can only let the madam speak..."
She wanted to use Mrs. Guihai to suppress me. How could I be fooled? She smiled slightly and said: "I didn't say who I wanted to let go. It's just that Xiaoliu has been with me since she was a child. She has been my master and servant for many years. She is about to be executed. I shouldn't ask."
Can we explain the reason and then say goodbye?"
The steward took a deep breath and said repeatedly: "If that's the case, then it's okay. Grandma, please help yourself."
I nodded slightly, looked at Xiaoliu, and said, "What on earth is going on?"
Xiaoliu sobbed aggrievedly: "Miss, I have been wronged. I heard that Lingzhou was seriously ill with vomiting and diarrhea, so I went to see him when there was nothing else to do. Without saying a few words when I entered the house, he
He complained that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the latrine. He was almost exhausted after working for a day and a night. He staggered when walking and almost fell. The slave helped him. Yan Wu happened to come in to deliver medicine. When he saw it, he screamed, saying that the slaves were having an affair.
I reported it to Madam, but Madam only believed Yan Wu's words and refused to listen to the slave's explanation, saying that she had an affair with Lingzhou and that according to the rules, she had to dip into the pig cage..."
Lingzhou also choked with sobs and said, "Grandma, what the sixth sister said is the truth. The slaves are really being wronged."
I looked at Lingzhou and said, "Shouldn't your legs be broken and kicked out? How come Xiaoliu was stuffed into a pig cage and tied up, but you were still unscathed?"
Lingzhou was stunned, looked at his legs, and said, "This... I don't even know."
I looked at the steward and said with a sneer: "But I know this. You are the master's confidant. They are afraid of breaking you. If the master comes back to pursue you, he will not be able to explain. But I am a bully master, so you can do whatever you want with me."
My personal girl. Aunty, do you think so?"
When the grandma in charge was told the important thing, her face flashed several times in an instant, she knelt down with a thud, kowtowed and said: "Grandma, I know this, I don't dare to..."
"I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to dominate and give orders in this family!" Madam Guihai's angry shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard door. Immediately, her hairpin skirt jingled, and Madam Guihai with an angry look on her face appeared.
Guihai Xinghe, Mrs. Changshi and a large group of girls and mothers walked in.
I lifted my skirt, bent my knees and bowed lightly, and said calmly: "Amber doesn't dare."
I was mentally prepared that I wouldn't be able to hide it for long, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. It can be seen that there are her spies everywhere in the house. Although she has been treating me badly, she has not done any real harm, so I tolerate it all, but today
It was too much. Knowing that I treated Xiaoliu like a sister, he was going to be executed indiscriminately. I couldn't bear it anymore and I decided not to bear it.
"I think you are very brave!" Mrs. Guihai quickly walked up to Yan Wu, helped her up with her own hands, looked at her face that was swollen like a pig's head, and said angrily: "What a cruel heart, how could you do such a heavy trick?"
Hand, who gave you the right?"
I had no intention of staying long, but now I planned to leave quickly. Without any worries, I straightened my waist and said proudly: "I am the master's grandma, and she is a maid and slave. Don't I have the right to slap her? Is there such a thing in the house?"
Are there regulations?”
Mrs. Guihai probably didn't expect that I would retort, so she was stunned by my question without warning, and then said arrogantly with hints in her words: "Yan Wu is a person in Yueming's house, even the master and grandma cannot punish her casually!
"
I pretended not to understand her hint, and just took the literal meaning and asked: "Does mother mean that whoever has the servants in the house will be in charge of it? If so, I am willing to apologize to my uncle, but my
I want to take the girl away and deal with it myself."
Mrs. Guihai was stopped by me again, her face turned pale and green, she was so angry that she was shaking all over but could not speak.
