Chapter Twenty-Three: Something Must Be Going On Here
Looking at the people standing in the courtyard full of people watching the excitement, only to see the horse steward, Valing's heart was twitching, she understood the taste of disfigurement, and she had a deep understanding of the situation of the horse steward.
"Go and call the horse butler?" Valing yelled coldly at his subordinates.
As we all know, Steward Ma is disfigured, and now the disfigured eldest lady called him, and no one knows what his intentions are, which makes everyone present feel numb and don't know what will happen next.
The people were very smart, and they stood still and did not dare to move, silently hoping that bad luck would not befall them.
"Miss, Steward Ma refuses to come." A whispered Nono stood in front of Valing and said.
"If you don't come, is his shelf bigger than my eldest lady's?" Valing reverted to his former indifference, and said in a hoarse voice pretending to be angry.
Everyone could hear that the eldest lady was making fun of Steward Ma, and they all worried about him, guessing that Steward Ma might have a hard time in the next time.
Seeing the frightened and trembling faces of the subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Fan was very unaccustomed to it, leaned on a big tree branch and said: "Female star, I said that you don't bully people, okay, you know that Steward Ma is sick, and you want him to come over, aren't you trying to embarrass him?" ”
Valing didn't think so, she had her own plans in mind, so she ordered Qingqing: "You go and drag him here!" ”
"Yes, Miss!" Qingqing replied very obediently, and walked quickly towards Steward Ma's room with small steps.
Steward Ma had already heard the laughter in the courtyard in the house, and he wanted to go out to have a look, but he was afraid that everyone would be frightened when he saw his face, so he had to lie on the bed very hurt and make a thick quilt over his head.
Qingqing entered the house and saw Steward Ma covered in the quilt, and without saying a word, she lifted the quilt, twisted Steward Ma's ear and ordered, "The eldest lady will let you go." ”
"Don't, Miss Qingqing, let go!" The pain was so painful that the steward covered his ears and screamed, and everyone standing in the courtyard felt that the steward was going to be finished.
Who dares to disobey the orders of the eldest lady, especially as the chief housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Steward Ma has to obey even more. Seeing that the eldest lady's personal maid Huan Qingqing came to deliver the message in person, Steward Ma reluctantly got up from the bed, half-covered his face with his sleeve, and followed Qingqing out to see the eldest lady.
Waring looked at Steward Ma's inferiority complex, remembered his past suffering, sympathy arose, and said calmly in a hoarse voice: "Steward Ma, why don't you dare to come to see me?" ”
"I, I..." Steward Ma held a sleeve to cover his face and didn't dare to tell the truth, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't dare to come out to meet people because he was disfigured. He was so afraid of lifting the eldest lady's scar, then he would not be able to eat and walk around.
"Turn your face!" Valing said to the steward with his hands behind his back, and everyone present could see that the black yarn around Valing's hat was shaking. So they all guessed the mood of the eldest lady at this time, so they were afraid that she would not be happy, and then take the opportunity to make these people angry.
When Steward Ma saw the eldest lady, his frightened head was about to hit the ground, and he blocked his face tightly with his sleeve, so that Valing could not see his disfigured face at all. I was obviously very hurt in my heart, but I still pretended to be very calm and said: "Miss, if there is anything you can tell directly, I promise to do it." ”
"Qingqing, turn his face around!" Valing can understand Steward Ma's pain, but in order to investigate the truth of the facts, she can only let Steward Ma's heart hurt first.
Qingqing heard the eldest lady's order, stepped in front of the horse steward in a few steps, stretched out his hands and turned the thin horse steward's head to Valing's side.
Looking at Steward Ma's swollen and still bruised face, it really startled Valling.
Seeing that the eldest lady was motionless, Steward Ma knew that he must be scared of the eldest lady, and said helplessly: "Eldest Miss, I..."
"Steward Ma, are you sure you were stabbed in the face by a cactus ball to do this?" Varing asked sadly, hiding under the black hat.
"Yes." Steward Ma didn't dare to lie, he knew the eldest lady's methods, if he dared to hide or deceive, he would be found by the eldest lady in the future, and he would definitely let him survive and not die.
"Go and call Erniang." When Valing heard Steward Ma's words, he directly coldly ordered his subordinates to call Erniang.
Many people present knew that the cactus ball was introduced and planted by Erniang, and when they heard that they were going to call Erniang over, everyone sweated for her, and felt that Erniang would not be able to escape this catastrophe next.
Su Fan was very angry when he saw that Valing was very angry with the tough attitude of the horse steward, stood up and threw the long braid behind him, and said angrily: "This horse steward is disfigured, what's the use of you calling Erniang over, is she Langzhong?" According to me, the most famous Langzhong in the whole Jinan city is Bai Langzhong, if you really want to treat the horse steward, you should call Bai Langzhong to treat. ”
"Bai Langzhong, it's just a vain name, he has treated me for six years and hasn't healed my face, what do you expect him to do." Valing didn't want everyone to know about her relationship with Bai Langzhong, and deliberately belittled Bai Langzhong very lowly.
Bai Langzhong didn't get angry when he saw that Valing was so degrading himself, but he showed cowardice very cooperatively.
Steward Ma's face touched Wa Ling deeply, she was very sympathetic to Steward Ma, and she also wanted to ask Bai Langzhong to heal Steward Ma quickly, but in order to investigate the truth of the facts, Wa Ling could only endure it, put aside the matter of Steward Ma for the time being, and inquire about the cause of her mother's death.
"Miss, what's the matter with me?" I saw the second lady surrounded by a group of maids, dressed up in flowers and branches, and walked timidly towards Valing with small steps.
Waling looked at Erniang and was not enthusiastic, and coldly did not look at the elders who should respect her children, and said to the second lady in a hoarse voice: "Steward Ma said that his face was pierced by a cactus ball, do you say that the cactus ball is poisonous?" ”
Seeing that Valing was interrogating herself like this in front of the people in the house, Erniang didn't care about the reserved attitude that a lady should have, ran to Steward Ma, held a white handkerchief in one hand, and poked Steward Ma's head in the other hand and said loudly: "Steward Ma, don't rely on yourself to be disfigured, and start biting good people like dogs!" ”
Listening to Erniang's accusation, Steward Ma was dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from Coptis chinensis, and he obviously hated the second lady to death, but he didn't dare to say a word on his lips, after all, the second lady was the prime minister's favorite woman.
Seeing that Erniang was bullying Steward Ma, and the above bullied people wanted to escape responsibility, he asked: "Erniang, you said that Steward Ma's face was not pierced by a cactus, so what do you say is the matter with him?" ”
"Then who knows, maybe it's like visiting Cuihualou." Erniang wiped the sweat oozing from nervousness on her face with a handkerchief, and said with disdain.
Looking at Erniang's enchanting appearance, Valing was very angry, she didn't understand why Ama didn't marry so many women in the world, and wanted to marry such a charming woman to enter the door as a concubine, which would damage his face as a prime minister.
"Second lady, don't wronged me, I never visit Cuihua Building." Steward Ma held his sleeve to cover his face and argued with the second lady, although he is in his thirties this year, he is still a child.
"Yo, look at my broken mouth, just your face, you can't scare other girls when you enter Cuihua Building, according to me, your face must be burned by fire, right?" The second lady was an elder in the end, and she knew that it would be a good thing for Valing to find her, so she immediately gave Valing a disappointment by virtue of her status as an elder.
How could she not hear what was in Erniang's words, so angry she waved the sleeves of her black robe and shouted loudly: "Someone." ”
"Miss, what do you command?" A group of old mothers immediately stood upright, standing in front of Valing in a regular manner, waiting to listen to orders.
Su Fan looked at this strange scene, and always felt that there was a story in it, but he couldn't say why, so he could only watch it all and wonder what would happen next.
"Rack Erniang for me!" Valing commanded sternly, so excited and angry that the black veils around Valing's hat shook desperately.
When a few old mothers heard the eldest lady's order, they took Erniang and said to Valing regardless of whether they went up on 3721: "Miss, what should I do?" ”
When the second lady saw the posture of this group of old mothers, she screamed in fear, guessing that she was about to be unlucky with her previous experience, so she began to beg for mercy: "Miss, please let me go quickly, you must know that I am your second mother." ”
Wearing a black hat, Valing approached the second lady and asked coldly: "Erniang, Steward Ma said that he was pierced by a cactus ball to do this, do you think this is true?" ”
Listening to Valling's question, the second lady couldn't admit that it was true, so she said again: "Miss, the cactus ball is unlikely." ”
"I also think it's impossible, but Steward Ma has to say yes, so I really want to verify it today, I don't know if Erniang is willing to cooperate with me?" Valing was wearing a black robe, a black hat, and a long black veil, and in order not to expose every inch of his skin, Valing even wore black gloves on his hands, giving people a very strange feeling.
In order to deter the second lady, Valing pinched the second lady's chin with one hand and a cactus ball in the other, and said to the second lady gloomily again: "Second mother, do you want to try?" ”
Looking at Valing's bullying posture, and the second lady's frightened appearance, Su Fan couldn't bear it, and planned to go up to comfort her, hoping that the eldest lady would let the second lady go.
"Master Su, please stay." Bai Langzhong took the first step and dragged the corner of Su Fan's coat and whispered.
"Bai Langzhong, don't you think she deceives people too much?" Su Fan argued unconvinced, and wanted to step forward to stop all this.
"Master Su, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so it's better not to interject." Bai Langzhong touched his beard, looking like he was waiting for it to change.
Su Fan looked at Bai Langzhong's strange behavior, and it was not good to argue with him in front of the public, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said was also very reasonable, so he had to stand in place and watch all this with his breath.
