Chapter 300: The Young Master and Small Courtyard of Martial Law
It was such a bold idea that started us playing house among the ruins of a broken wall with a bunch of ghosts without any Yin Qi.
When I was once again forced to serve these ghosts with an empty plate, I asked myself sadly.
In the past eighteen years since I was born, I seem to have never done anything bad except being naughty, evil-minded, and always bullying Zhang Wei for fun...
When I was in school, I boldly protected my old lady across the street. I picked up a steel penny and walked three miles to find a traffic policeman and turned it over.
Although the public servant looked at me a little weird at that time, I was still proud of myself.
But now why did I enter a weird shabby house and randomly assume an identity? I am a miserable little maid who wants to bully anyone who sees me.
And Lang Hongyi finally acquired the identity of the fourth young master. Even if he is an illegitimate child, at least he can be invisible and no one will look for him to feel unhappy.
"Today there is an additional ban in the house. No one is allowed to take a step near the eldest master's yard. Remember this sentence for all of you who are eating!"
The master announced the news at the dinner table with a gloomy look, but the young master, as the central figure, did not understand the meaning at all and was still eating happily.
The eldest lady stood up and added, "What I'm talking about here is no one. You concubines who regard themselves as masters and you two young masters can't get close to each other. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
It can be seen that the eldest lady's words are very important in this family. The only thing that she can't control is the master's endless keeping of concubines.
After all, no woman wants to see so many beauties around her husband.
The second wife's face looked very bad at this time, she was sarcastic, unwilling and jealous, and she also had a deep-seated hatred.
The third wife lowered her eyes, not looking at anyone, and not saying anything to attract anyone's attention. Although she was young, her face was gradually wrinkled and she was calm.
Only I, who was standing by the table, could clearly see that the joints of her hand holding the chopsticks had turned pale to suppress something, and her other hand was under the table, tightly grasping the beads she was twisting.
The third wife on the other side expressed her displeasure with lively eyes, not hiding it at all. She rolled her eyes wide, waved the handkerchief in her hand, shook her head and looked away.
The second young master and the third young master looked at their father and mother who stood up to announce the ban with some special emotions in their eyes.
Their status, as long as the eldest young master and eldest wife are around, they will always be inferior to others, and they are not even qualified to call their biological mother mother.
The only normal person at the table is the fourth wife who is the most favored by the master. She is also the youngest. She is an extremely beautiful woman with exquisite makeup and classical clothes that set off her young appearance. She has a smile on her face.
I took my time and took my chopsticks to pick out a piece of fish bone from the fish in the bowl for the master.
Although in my eyes, she was just doing these meaningless movements in the air, I only knew that this was the restoration of all the real past.
One day when they were still alive, such a scene happened here. There was a fish on the table that the master liked very much.
With a "clang" sound, the chopsticks in the second wife's hands fell to the ground just as the first lady sat down.
She dumped all the negative emotions in her heart on her servants, and I was naturally one of them.
"Why are you standing here like a fool? You didn't see that my chopsticks fell, and you didn't even bring me new ones!"
As he said that, he actually picked up the delicate small plate in front of him and threw it towards my seat. Fortunately, I was fully awake now and was not the timid Sanxi.
Turning around and raising his feet, he perfectly dodged the small plate that was thrown at him, and also avoided the flying shards of porcelain.
In order to leave the house, I hurriedly headed outside with the other servants who had received orders. These were all people who wanted to buy the chopsticks and plates in front of the second wife. I didn’t need to worry about the chopsticks and plates, others would naturally send them to them.
Besides, I don’t really want to get close to the crazy woman who pinched a piece of flesh off the back of my hand yesterday.
This second wife is a ruthless master, so I hide as far away as I can.
I would rather stay in the kitchen or laundry room and hide completely than see these evil spirits bossing me around.
When the master's house has been served and the servants are starting to eat, I am the only one who hides in the deserted laundry room.
I closed the door and enjoyed a moment of leisure, but the lonely moment of enjoyment was quickly interrupted. Someone carefully opened the door and came in, bending down to prevent his shadow from being reflected on the window. Lang Hongyi slowly approached the corner where I was.
"If you're not enjoying your leisure time at your place, why are you here?"
Even if the fourth young master has no sense of existence, he will not appear casually in the laundry room.
"I'm just here to find you. I hid my backpack in your favorite place to laze around. There's food in it."
During this day and night, we did not dare to take risks and experiment with the water and food here. Instead, we relied on the few things in our bags to survive.
Lang Hongyi took out our lost backpack from a corner and took out everything inside.
There are three bottles of water and two pieces of bread left.
We didn't prepare much food or drink before we came. Most of these were stuffed in our bags by Zhang Wei because he was too heavy, but this did play a big role.
"We don't have much time. Coupled with the limits of the human body and including these things, we only have two days at most. We need to figure out the problems in the house as soon as possible."
We only kept a loaf of bread and a bottle of water for the remaining items, and continued to collect and hide the rest.
Each person ate half of the bread and half of the water. We took advantage of the rare meal time to share the news we had received.
"While I was working, I discovered that several ladies were at odds with each other, and everyone was hostile to the eldest lady."
"A few women are in the backyard, this is a standard script for a house fight!"
Lang Hongyi did not delve into the affairs between the women and brought the topic to the ban announced at the dinner table today.
"You should know that the ban requires that no one, including those women who are at odds with each other and the sons of the Jian family, cannot go near the married young master's house, right?"
"I know, your father and your mother solemnly warned everyone just now!" I took a bite of bread, didn't bother to chew, drank water to wash down the food in my mouth, and made Lang Hongyi silent for a while.
When I learned the name of Lang Hongyi before, I laughed even more exaggeratedly, Jian Fengyi.
This was given by the eldest lady, which means that the eldest young master is the only person whom one respects.
Not only did he warn the illegitimate son, he also slapped the other two young masters in the face, which destined Lang Hongyi to be treated unpopularly.
"It's definitely not normal there. The closer the place is, the more likely it is the key to the problem."
"It's really strange. It's supposed to be the time for the bride to come home. Not only are the people here unprepared, but they don't even let anyone get close to her. There must be something going on inside."
Lang Hongyi thought of a question and asked, "Did the bride come out to serve tea this morning?"
There are many rules in the big house. On the second day of the wedding, you have to meet the elders of your husband's family one by one to offer tea, and on the third day you go back to your parents' house to report that you are safe.
The eldest young lady of the Jian family was actually saved?
I ate the last bite of bread, touched my not-very-full belly and said, "This young lady did not marry in voluntarily, she was bought with threats."
