Chapter 163: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Since the old lady fainted, Zhao Qingyan has been staying by her side and serving her well.
Not only is the old lady doting on her on weekdays, but also because Wen Qiao's grandmother at this time, she has to do her best to take care of the old lady no matter what.
Now that the old lady has fainted, she can't wake up for a while, and Zhao Qingyan naturally knows that it is not a way to go on like this.
She ordered someone to stay by the old lady's side, and to notify her in time if she woke up or in any other condition.
After Zhao Qingyan left the old lady's room, he ordered someone to call the two maids who were keeping vigil in the old lady's room that night.
She stood under the eaves of the porch, and the breeze blew her Luo Qun's side gently and danced with the wind.
Looking down at the hem of her skirt, she couldn't help but think of Wen Qiao, who had not been heard from so far, and she didn't know where he was.
"These two girls were keeping vigil in the old lady's room that day!" Lu Luo led people to escort the maid who was keeping vigil in the old lady's room that night to Zhao Qingyan and said.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingyan raised his eyes and glanced at the two maids, and then looked around and found that some people had gathered around.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the light was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Luluo, you go and inform, let all the maids and slaves in each room and the housekeeper and mother-in-law come over, I have something to say."
Zhao Qingyan raised his hand to cover the light, and then commanded lightly.
After hearing this, the green pothos nodded and said, "Got it, I'll go and call them all over." ”
Soon, all the servants from all the rooms were called.
Zhao Qingyan wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with a silk handkerchief, and after glancing at it, he saw that the person was almost there, so he let out a long breath and said: "I have already explained it up and down in the mansion, and I am not allowed to reveal the news of Huai Enhou's disappearance to the old lady!" ”
There was silence for a moment, and the two maids who had no intention of revealing the news of Huai Enhou and Wen Qiao's disappearance immediately knelt down with a pop.
They were in the middle of the courtyard, and the rest of the men stood neatly behind them with their heads hung down and did not say a word.
Luluo stood beside Zhao Qingyan and echoed: "Those who came here today, one is counted as one, they are all optimistic!" ”
Zhao Qingyan paused, walked up the steps and walked in front of the maid who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard to leak the news.
She paused before she spoke: "These two maids didn't take my words to heart, and they even dared to talk about the news of Huai Enhou's disappearance in the old lady's room and give it to the old lady, knowingly!" ”
The two maids knelt on the ground and knew that this time they had poked the tiger's nose and eye with straw sticks, and they had hit the muzzle of the gun, and this time they must have been punished.
Then he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Qingyan and said, "You spare us this time, we didn't mean to leak it out." ”
"Please open up and forgive us this time!" Another girl also hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Qingyan and begged for favor.
"Humph!" Zhao Qingyan's lowered eyes glanced at it, and he snorted coldly before he said coldly: "You don't pay any attention to the things I specially explained, I think you two are intentionally against me!" ”
The two maids kneeling on the ground hurriedly raised their heads and waved their hands: "The little one doesn't dare, really doesn't dare, we really don't have that mind, and we don't dare to harm the old lady!" ”
The girl next to her also echoed and said, "Please open the net and spare us this time!" ”
After hearing this, Zhao Qingyan glared fiercely and shouted: "Knowingly, your words and deeds in the house are so unstable, so that the old lady fainted and hasn't woken up until now, what kind of face do you two have to beg me to spare you this time." ”
Without waiting for the two kneeling maids to beg for mercy again, she directly opened her mouth and punished her: "Come on, drag these two gossiping girls down and beat me twenty boards fiercely, and half of this month's silver will be deducted!" ”
The subordinates next to them couldn't help but be a little stunned when they heard it, and none of them dared to intercede, for fear that the next one would be their turn.
After severely punishing the two maids who leaked the news of Huai Enhou and Wen Qiao's disappearance, Zhao Qingyan hurriedly went back to see the old lady.
Seeing that the old lady still hadn't woken up, and hearing the maid who had been guarding next to her say that there was nothing unusual, she was a little relieved.
At present, there is no way to go on like this, and the old lady is ill and unconscious.
The whereabouts of Huaienhou and Wen Qiao were unknown, and for a while she became isolated and helpless, with no one to rely on.
Zhao Qingyan looked at the old lady lying unconscious on the bed, and her heart fell into deep thought, and Huai Enhou now fell on her shoulders.
She had to force herself to be stronger, no matter what, she couldn't fall, and she couldn't fall if anyone fell.
"Old lady, don't worry, I will definitely help you get Wen Qiao and your father back! Take care of yourself, wake up quickly, get better quickly, I will bring Wen Qiao and my father back to see you as soon as possible! ”
Zhao Qingyan took the old lady's hand and whispered.
With that, she got up from the old lady's bed and walked straight out, and she had already made up her mind that there was still nothing to be done.
When Zhao Qingyan came to Mrs. Cheng's room, he hurriedly said straight to the point: "Mrs. Cheng, the old lady will please take care of you!" ”
Mrs. Cheng was sitting drinking tea, and when she heard this, she suddenly got up and twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Zhao Qingyan, what did you just say?" ”
"Mrs. Cheng, I said I want you to take good care of the old lady!"
Zhao Qingyan said as he paced to Mrs. Cheng's side.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but be a little suspicious, she didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhao Qingyan's gourd, so she immediately refused: "Why, why don't you take care of yourself, the old lady loves you so much on weekdays!" ”
Zhao Qingyan heard Mrs. Cheng's refusal, and suddenly felt that her lungs were about to explode.
"Mrs. Cheng, I'm going to find Wen Qiao and my father, if I leave, I won't be able to take care of the old lady anymore!" Zhao Qingyan patiently said all the thoughts and plans in her heart.
Mrs. Cheng next to her couldn't help but widen her apricot eyes in surprise after hearing this.
She looked at Zhao Qingyan next to her in disbelief.
"Humph!" Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly before she slowly spoke: "That's not good, you're just a woman, the whereabouts of the two fathers and sons are unknown now, and you still want to go over to cause trouble?" ”
Mrs. Cheng said whitely, glanced at Zhao Qingyan next to her, and sat down.
Even a man can't handle it, this Zhao Qingyan even wants to send him to death without his strength?
Zhao Qingyan was immediately angry when she heard Mrs. Cheng's words, she did her best for the sake of this family, and even risked her life to find Wen Qiao and her father Huai Enhou.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng not only didn't believe it, but also beat her upside down, causing her to laugh at her.
"No matter what you say, I must go this time, I can't wait here for news!"
Zhao Qingyan hung his head and glared at Mrs. Cheng and said viciously.
After saying that, she didn't wait for Mrs. Cheng to say anything more, and turned around and left directly.
If Mrs. Cheng made up her mind to look down on her, then it would be useless for her to say anything, so it was better to go on the road as soon as possible than to bother with words.
After leaving Mrs. Cheng's room, Zhao Qingyan didn't stay long and went straight to the palace.
