The pain she imagined did not come. Instead, she heard several screams from the third lady. Qingyu opened one eye with some doubts and looked around. When she saw Mi lying on the ground, she was so shocked that she could not close her mouth.

.

The maids' throats rolled and they swallowed saliva. Everyone in the yard seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, and Situ Xi was also stunned.

Isn't it, touching porcelain? But this is too real, and it is too cruel to myself. Or is there some shocking conspiracy, and he actually wants to use his own life as bait.

"Ah!" These screams came a few seconds late, but did not affect the quality of the screams. The frightened maids continued to scream loudly. One of them rolled and crawled to her master's side, trying to

He touched Mi's body with his hand, but he hesitated.

Turning Mi over, her head was bright red and blood was oozing out. Everyone noticed that her abdomen was still heaving. The little maid also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the other maid who was too frightened to move.

Go and call the housekeeper.

When the girl ran out of the courtyard, everyone turned their attention to Situ Xi.

Feeling the eyes focusing on him, Situ Xi was a little confused.

"This...has nothing to do with me." However, just as he finished speaking, a wooden stick with a thick wrist fell from his right hand and hit the ground with a "bang" sound.

Qingyu understood instantly. She looked at Situ Xi standing in front of her, as if looking at a god, with light in her eyes.

"Well, it really has nothing to do with me." He also wanted to explain that no, he hadn't made a move yet, although she did hook her on his leg.

I just saw that crazy woman going crazy suddenly, and I saw such a wooden stick in the corner of the yard, so I thought of using it to defend myself. If I had to, I would just hit her with a stick. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen suddenly.

"Ms. sir!" Zhong Lizhen suddenly exclaimed. She saw the water mixed with blood on the ground flowing towards Situ Xi's feet. She quickly pulled him to the side to check if there were any blood stains on his body.

Scattered and rapid footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard. Butler Chen and a group of nursing staff came with several doctors after hearing the sound. He waved his hand and the servants immediately surrounded the courtyard. However, seeing the scene inside the courtyard, he

He was also quite frightened. He had been in Duke Huaiming's mansion for many years, and how had he ever seen the third lady in such miserable condition.

Turning his eyes to Situ Xi, who was protecting Qing Yu, and seeing him holding a stick, Butler Chen was afraid. This new uncle was actually a life-threatening master, and he dared to do such crazy things in the Duke's mansion.

, this is not something you can mess with.

When masters fight, servants suffer.

After asking several doctors to lift the third lady, Butler Chen walked to Situ Xi's side, coughed lightly, and said intermittently:

"Aunt...Uncle, no matter what, please wait in the courtyard for a while. I will inform the master about this matter. Only he can make the decision."

The third lady was seriously injured, and things were going badly. She had to inform the master immediately. This was a matter for the masters, and it was not something he, the butler, could decide.

"Go." Situ Xi nodded. No one expected such an accident, and there was no need for him to waste time with this old butler.

After receiving the reply, Butler Chen told a few servants to keep an eye on the place and stopped Zhong Lixin from leaving. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran towards the main courtyard at full speed.

"Uncle, this slave has caused trouble for you..." Seeing that he and others were surrounded, Qingyu stood in front of the couple, lowering his head and sobbing.

"You did nothing wrong."

Feeling that his sleeves were being grasped tightly, Situ Xi looked at Zhong Lixin beside him and said to her apologetically:

"It does cause trouble for my wife."

Zhongli shook his head gently: "I am fine, but if this happens, my husband may not be at peace."

"How much worse can it be?"

It was his second life anyway. Situ Xi looked at the blood on the ground again and said with some uncertainty:

"Besides, Third Yiniang shouldn't blame me. After all, I have a life-long friendship with her now."

…

In the main courtyard of Duke Huaiming's mansion, Zhong Limei was sleeping on a chair with a bottle of wine in his hand, while the actors in front of him were singing and dancing.

The sound of guards arguing with others came from outside the door, destroying the harmony and beauty of the music. Zhong Limei frowned and looked around, just in time to see Butler Chen running over in a hurry.

With a slight wave of his hand, Zhong Limei signaled the actors to stop. Butler Chen walked quickly to Zhong Limei's side, leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear with his hands covered.

"Oh? Did you see it clearly? Did he really hit him?" After hearing Butler Chen's words, Zhong Limei slowly sat upright with a serious look on his face.

"When the old slave went in, he saw the Nine Kings holding a stick in their hands and the Third Lady lying in a pool of blood." Butler Chen was telling the truth.

"Sir, the Nine Kings are still in the Third Lady's Courtyard. How should we deal with them?"

He glanced at Steward Chen suspiciously, making his hair stand on end. He pinched his earlobe. Zhong Limei pondered for a while, then stood up and gave instructions:

"Mi, there is no distinction between high and low. If you are guilty of a crime below, ask a doctor to see her. After she is cured, let her go to apologize to the Nine Kings in person. After that, she can reflect in her room for a period of time."

A look of astonishment appeared on Butler Chen's face. Maybe he heard wrongly, why did he have to admit his mistake and apologize for being beaten? However, seeing Zhong Limei looking at him, Butler Chen nodded in agreement.

"Take them to see Madam, and let them leave quickly after the meeting." Zhong Limei waved his hand and asked Butler Chen to leave his yard. After saying that, he thought of something again, and said another sentence to Butler Chen lightly.

"You're not too young anymore. Stop messing around with others when you have nothing to do. It's not good."

His clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and he kept saying yes. Butler Chen ran a little faster than when he came, and left quickly.

"Interesting." Zhong Limei sat back on the chair, raised one hand in the air, and the actors continued to dance.

…

When Butler Chen returned to the Third Madam's courtyard, Mi had already been carried away from the scene. Situ Xi and the other three were sitting on the stone benches in the courtyard, with several cups of hot tea added to the table.

"Nine Kings, everything is okay here. I will take you and the young lady to see the eldest lady." Butler Chen's attitude was unprecedentedly respectful. No one present expected such a result.

"Oh? So fast? Are you okay?"

"Uncle, it's okay. The master said that the third lady and others committed the crime and bumped into the uncle and the young lady, so they should be punished. After the wife recovers from her injuries, she will apologize to the uncle, and the master will also ground her for a period of time."

The servants suspected that they had heard wrongly, so they looked at each other, not daring to say anything, and they all exchanged glances with each other and the people around them. The third lady was actually punished. Are you dreaming?

"Steward Chen, did you make a mistake?" Zhongli decided to ask.

"Miss, how could I be mistaken? These are the master's exact words. The third lady must be willing to do so herself. Please also ask the young lady and uncle to come quickly. I told you to finish the ceremony and leave as soon as possible." Butler Chen said with a smile on his face.

, that smile was actually a bit warmer than today’s sunshine.

After finishing these words, Butler Chen moved forward again, walked to the couple, lowered his voice, lowered his head and said:

"It's the old slave's fault. This morning I passed by the gate of the third lady's courtyard, and happened to be asked by her to bring my uncle and the young lady to this courtyard. It's just that the old slave is the housekeeper, and the master has an explanation. I really can't excuse myself, so I let my uncle.

Miss He was frightened, the old slave deserves to die."

Butler Chen, how could he look like those eunuchs in palace dramas?

Without looking at him at all, after getting the affirmative answer, Situ Xi took Zhong Lixin's hand and walked out the door, sighing quite a bit.

"Madam, let's go, everyone says everything is fine. The third lady is so generous, she has a mind as big as the sea."

"This... okay." Zhongli Min didn't understand. Maybe his layout was still a bit small.

"Qingyu, catch up quickly."
