Chapter 9 Fateful Friendship
The imaginary pain did not come, but heard a few screams from the third lady, whispered and opened one eye in confusion to look, and when she saw Mi Shi lying on the ground, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
The maids rolled their throats and swallowed their saliva, and everyone in the courtyard seemed to be immobilized, and Situ Xi was also stunned.
Isn't it, touching porcelain? But this is too real, and it's too ruthless to yourself. Or is there some earth-shattering conspiracy, and he actually wants to use his life as bait.
"Ahh The screams came a few seconds late, but it didn't affect the quality of the screams, and the frightened maids continued to scream loudly. One of them crawled to her master's side, wanting to touch Mi's body with his hands, but he hesitated.
Turning Mi Shi over, her head was bright red, and blood was oozing, everyone noticed that her abdomen was still undulating, and the little maid also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked another maid who was too frightened to move to call the housekeeper.
When the girl ran out of the courtyard, everyone turned their eyes to Situ Xi again.
Feeling that his eyes were converging on him, Situ Xi was a little inexplicable.
"This ...... It has nothing to do with me. However, as soon as he had said this, a wrist-thick wooden stick fell from his right hand and smashed to the ground with a "bang" sound.
Whispering instantly understood, 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, no, he hadn't done it yet, although she did hook his leg.
I just saw that the crazy woman suddenly went crazy, and saw that there was such a wooden stick in the corner of the yard, so I thought about using it for self-defense, and I had to knock her with a stick as a last resort, who would have thought that such a thing would happen suddenly.
"Xianggong!" Zhong Lixuan suddenly exclaimed, she saw the blood flowing on the ground towards Situ Xi's feet, and hurriedly pulled him to the side to check whether he had blood stains on his body.
Scattered and hurried footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard, Steward Chen and a group of nurses came with a few doctors when they heard the sound, he waved his big hand, and the people immediately surrounded the courtyard, but when he saw the situation in the courtyard, he himself was quite frightened, he had been in the Huaiming Mansion for many years, when had he seen the third lady so miserable.
Turning his eyes to Situ Xi, who was guarding in front of the whispering body, seeing him holding a stick, Steward Chen was afraid, this new aunt was actually a master who didn't want to die, and he dared to do such a crazy thing in the Guogong Mansion, this is not something he can provoke.
The master fights, and the servant suffers.
Beckoning a few doctors to lift the third lady up, Steward Chen walked to Situ Xi's side, coughed lightly, and said intermittently:
"Auntie...... Uncle, no matter what, please wait in the courtyard for a moment or two, the old slave has to inform the master of this matter, only he can call the shots. ”
The third lady was so seriously injured, the matter was a big deal, and she had to inform the master quickly, this is a matter for the masters, not for him to be a housekeeper.
"Go ahead." Situ Xi nodded, such an accident happened to everyone, which everyone didn't expect, and there was no need for him to waste words with this old butler.
After receiving the reply, Steward Chen told a few subordinates to take care of the venue, stopped Zhong Lixuan and prevented them from leaving, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and ran towards the main courtyard at full speed.
"Uncle, the slave and maid have caused trouble for you......" Seeing that he and the others were surrounded, he stood in front of the husband and wife in a whisper, bowing his head and sobbing.
"You didn't do anything wrong."
Feeling that his sleeves were being tightened, Situ Xi looked at Zhong Lixuan beside him, and said to her slightly apologetically:
"It's causing trouble for the lady."
Zhong Lixuan shook his head lightly: "The concubine is fine, but in this way, the princess may be uneasy." ”
"How bad can it be?"
Anyway, it's a second life, Situ Xi looked at the blood on the ground again, and said with some uncertainty:
"Besides, the third aunt shouldn't blame me, after all, I have a lifelong friendship with her now."
……
In the main courtyard of the Huaiming Mansion, Zhong Liwu was sleeping on the chair with a bottle of wine glass, and the servants in front of him were singing and dancing.
The sound of the guards arguing with others came from outside the door, destroying the harmony and beauty of the music, Zhong Liwu frowned and looked over, just in time to see Steward Chen who came in a hurry.
With a slight wave of his hand, Zhong Liwu motioned for the servants to stop, and Steward Chen walked to Zhong Liwu's side with hurried steps, leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear with his hands.
"Oh? Can you see clearly, he really hit it? Hearing Steward Chen's words, Zhong Liwu slowly sat up straight, with a serious look on his face.
"When the old slave entered, he saw that the Nine Kings were holding a stick in their hands, and the third lady was lying in a pool of blood." What Steward Chen said was also true.
"Master, the Nine Kings are still in the Third Lady's Courtyard, what should I do?"
He glanced at Steward Chen with suspicious eyes, made his hairs stand on end, pinched his earlobe, Zhong Liwu groaned for a long time, and then got up and ordered:
"The Mi family does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, if you commit the following crimes, find a doctor to see it for her, and let her personally go to the Nine Kings to make amends after being cured, and then reflect on it in her room for a while."
A look of astonishment appeared on Steward Chen's face, it was not that he had heard it wrong, how could he have to admit his mistake and make amends after being beaten, but seeing that Zhong Liwu was looking at him, Steward Chen hurriedly nodded yes.
"Take them to Madame, and let them leave quickly when they're done." Zhong Liwu waved his hand to let Steward Chen leave his courtyard, and after saying what he thought of, he spit out another sentence towards Steward Chen.
"You're not young anymore, it's okay to follow others around, it's not good."
Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and he said yes again and again, Steward Chen ran a few points faster than when he came, and left quickly.
"Interesting." Zhong Liwu sat back on the chair, raised his hand in the void, and the servants continued to dance.
……
By the time Steward Chen returned to the courtyard of the third lady again, Mi had already been carried away from the scene, and Situ Xi and the three of them sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and a few new cups of hot tea were added to the table.
"Nine kings, it's okay here, slave will take you and Miss to meet the eldest lady." Steward Chen's attitude was unprecedentedly respectful, and everyone present did not expect such a result.
"Oh? So fast? Are you all right? ”
"Uncle, it's okay. The lord said that the third lady committed a crime and collided with her aunt and young lady, and she should be punished. After the lady recovers from her injury, she will make amends to her uncle, and the master will also ground her for a while. ”
The people suspected that they had heard it wrong, they looked at each other, they didn't dare to make a sound, they all exchanged glances with each other, the third lady was actually punished, are you dreaming?
"Steward Chen, are you mistaken?" Zhong Lixuan decided to ask.
"Miss, how can you be mistaken, this is the master's original words, and the third lady herself must be willing. Please also ask the young lady and aunt to come with me quickly, and the master told you to leave quickly after the ceremony. Steward Chen had a smiling face, and that smile was a little warmer than today's sunshine.
After these words were finished, Steward Chen moved forward again, walked to the husband and wife, lowered his voice, lowered his head, and said:
"It's also the old slave who passed by the gate of the third lady's courtyard this morning, and happened to be entrusted by her to bring my uncle and young lady to this courtyard. It's just that the old slave is the housekeeper, and the master has an explanation, which really can't be excused, so that the uncle and the young lady are frightened, and the old slave should die. ”
This Steward Chen, how can he look like those eunuchs in the court drama.
didn't look at him at all, and after getting a positive answer, Situ Xi took Zhong Li's hand and walked out of the door, with a sigh in his mouth.
"Lady, let's go, everyone says it's okay. The third lady is really generous, she has a mind like the sea. ”
"This ...... All right. Zhong Lixuan couldn't figure it out, maybe his pattern was still a little small.
"Whisper, keep up."
