In the dead of night, everyone who should have rested gathered in the lobby.

The military doctor Dr. Zhang was sitting under the hall to check Cheng Yuguan's pulse, and the four princes who were alarmed sat on the head, and Lin Jing and Zhao were lined up on both sides.

Below, there are still Mama Chen, Qinglu, the post house servant, and the coachman Ma Youliang.

There was such a big movement in the front yard, and the post guards of the Shangling Post Station also shrank at the door, waiting for the four princes to fall in fear.

After all, this also involves the servants of this station, how can they stay out of the matter.

The four princes at the top were expressionless, scraping the tea cup in their hands, one at a time, which made people feel bottomless.

"Your Royal Highness, you are the fourth brother of the fifth prince, we have a marriage contract with the fifth prince in our house, the second miss has been a childhood sweetheart with the fifth prince since she was a child, and the old slave is also serving by the second miss. The eldest lady grew up in Chengjia Village, the ancestral land, and acted recklessly and unruly, which alarmed His Royal Highness, and the slave maid made amends to the fourth highness on behalf of the eldest lady, and after returning home, Mrs. and the second lady will definitely give you an explanation. ”

Mama Chen said something, Lin Jing and Zhao Chengdu widened their eyes and looked at her with secret admiration.

Seeing this, Mama Chen was also secretly proud, her back straightened, and she looked directly at the four princes, as if she had no fear.

The four princes scraped the tea cup one by one and said nothing.

The hall was quiet, and Cheng Yuguan even relaxed his breathing.

"This hand."

Doctor Zhang looked calm and asked Cheng Yuguan to change his hand to check the pulse.

"Oh."

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he hurriedly put on his other arm.

At this time, Dr. Zhang didn't think about it as carefully as he did just now, and only put his wrist on it for a moment, and then withdrew his hand.

"You have been eating poorly recently, your spleen and stomach are out of harmony, and you have been unable to sleep for many days, which hurts your spirits, so you will be easily invaded by external evils. I'll prescribe you a tranquilizer, drink it tonight, sleep all night, and Ming'er will be fine. ”

Dr. Zhang said while prescribing medicine.

Cheng Yuguan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang." ”

Dr. Zhang's hair was gray, his expression was indifferent, he was dressed in a light-colored robe, and his demeanor was relaxed. With the style of a master outside the world, Cheng Yuguan was told that there was no big problem, and he was really relieved in his heart.

Dr. Zhang's prescription was written, and Mama Chen gave her a look, and Qinglu was about to step forward to take it, but Dr. Zhang dodged it and gave it to the guards who stepped forward.

"Doctor Zhang..."Qinglu whispered, "I am the maid assigned by the lady to the eldest lady, you can give me the prescription, and I will go to make medicine for the eldest lady in a while." ”

Doctor Zhang didn't seem to hear, "It's all some common medicines, boil three bowls into one bowl on the fire, and bring it to Miss Cheng." ”

Qinglu was ignored, and she hid behind Mama Chen aggrievedly.

Mama Chen glared at Qinglu with hatred, and then looked at Doctor Zhang, "You said that the eldest lady is fine, then we can rest assured." This rough work of boiling medicine will be left to Qinglu. Qinglu, don't hurry up and catch up to boil medicine for the eldest lady. ”

Mama Chen's voice fell, and the dancing candle flame in the hall crackled, startling Qinglu.

She looked around, the hall was deep, and the guards of the four princes were lined up on both sides, hidden in the dark, solemnly guarded, which made the hall unprovoked and a little more tense.

She looked at the gate where the guards had disappeared, it was pitch black, like a monster's huge mouth, which made people feel depressed, and they couldn't lift their legs inexplicably.

Seeing that Qinglu was like a little chicken being bluffed and useless, Mama Chen nodded Qinglu with her "iron finger" again, "You are a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, serving Mrs., and now that Mrs. is not there, who can lynch you or not?" What are you afraid of? ”

As she spoke, Mama Chen glanced at Cheng Yuguan, and then glanced at the silent Fourth Prince, "The eldest lady beats and scolds you, even if you are not wrong, you have to bear it, and when you return home, your own wife will call the shots for you." At this time, the eldest lady wants to boil medicine, and you are assigned by your wife to serve the eldest lady, do you want to trouble others if you don't boil the medicine? Just go! ”

Qinglu was dizzy by Mama Chen, and subconsciously wanted to go down to boil medicine, but when she walked to the door of the hall, she was stopped by the guards.

"Mama?"

Qinglu turned around and asked Mama Chen for an idea.

Seeing this, Mama Chen looked at the four princes at the top, "Your Highness, this is a family matter of our Hou Mansion, you are respected as a prince, and it is not good to meddle at will, right?" ”

"Noise!"

The fourth prince spit out two words in his mouth, and Zhao Cheng stepped forward in the next second, slapped down, and scraped Mama Chen to the ground.

Mama Chen screamed miserably, opened her mouth to show a mouth full of blood, and even spit out two big teeth.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here? The old slave's old face in Cheng Hou's Mansion for several lifetimes, even the Hou Ye has never moved a finger of us..."

The poignant appeal was not finished, and Zhao Cheng followed with a slap.

"Smack!"

The loud slap sound made people feel pain at the root of their ears.

Mama Chen finally shut up, and for the first time there was fear in her eyes, covering her swollen side face and not daring to speak again.

Qinglu was standing at the door at this time, and shrank to the door as early as when Zhao Cheng hit him for the first time, for fear that others would notice. Mama Chen, she didn't dare to go over at this time.

"As a subordinate, you must serve your master well. Now Miss Cheng is not eating well and cannot sleep peacefully, which is your dereliction of duty. It's so useless, and you dare to make noise in front of everyone, what's the matter, you want to ride on the master's head? You are such evil servants who betray the master, I will teach you a lesson, even Cheng Hou will not dare to distinguish for you. ”

After saying something, the three of them, Mama Chen, Qinglu and the others shrank their necks, unable to refute.

Then, the four princes looked at Cheng Yuguan indifferently.

"You are the master of several of them, but now you want me to deal with it for you, which is considered that you owe a favor to His Highness. Your Highness is helping people to the end today, come on, what should you do with them? ”

Where does Cheng Yuguan know how to deal with his subordinates? She has never used a subordinate in her two lives, let alone Cheng Yulou, who grew up with gold and dignity and rules, so she naturally has no experience in teaching servant women.

She was so angry just now, she was able to beat these few times, and at this moment, when His Royal Highness asked, Cheng Yuguan could only think of asking them to apologize to themselves.

Don't you apologize for doing something wrong?

"Let them apologize to me."

Cheng Yuguan said with some confidence.

When the servant woman and Qinglu heard this, their eyes lit up, and they immediately threw themselves at Cheng Yuguan's feet and kowtowed to make amends.

"Miss, I have no eyes, and I have offended you. It's the old pious woman who brought me the money and told me to keep you up for a while. As for what she had in mind, I don't know. I'm just working as a slave at this station, give me ten guts, and I don't dare to touch the guests of our station, miss. If you see what is going on, just spare me! ”

The servant woman no longer has the honest appearance she had when she first saw her just now, and when she kowtowed to make amends, her mouth was very neat, and everything was someone else's fault, and she was innocent.

Qinglu is the same, kneeling in front of Cheng Yuguan and looking at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss, the slave maid is young and ignorant, she always listens to Mama Chen's instructions to do things, and never dares to be self-dictated." Now that Dr. Zhang said that you are fine, the slave and maid also breathed a sigh of relief. You kicked the slave and maid twice just now, and the slave and maid did not complain at all, only begging for forgiveness from the eldest lady. ”

Cheng Yuguan looked at the pitiful appearance of the two people now, and subconsciously looked at the four princes who were above him.

"Light. When they make amends, you can get out of your heart? ”

The Four Princes said.

Cheng Yuguan shook his head.

She couldn't think of what to do with them, but just now she saw the hideous faces of the two people, and the two people in front of her apologized lightly, and she didn't know what to think in her heart, and she was unwilling to just raise her hand and let it go gently.

Facing the eyes of the four princes, Cheng Yuguan thought of the method in the TV series, "One person with thirty boards? ”

The servant woman and Qinglu were shocked, and no longer pretended to make amends, but burst into tears and snot, and kept kowtowing to make amends.

The fourth prince shook his head, "It's heavy." An ordinary man, who has beaten 30 boards and is still in danger of his life, although they are guilty, they are not guilty to death. ”

The two people who regarded the four princes as Yama just now instantly changed their views on the four princes, and looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss, the four princes are right, weak women such as slaves and maids can't afford these thirty boards!" ”

"That's ten boards!"

Cheng Yuguan thumped his hands and looked at the four princes and said.

The fourth prince nodded, his chin tapped, and suddenly a guard stepped forward and dragged the two out, and the screams of the board suddenly sounded from outside the house.

The fourth prince didn't hear it, and looked at the coachman on the side.

The coachman's face was already pale, but at this time, sensing the gaze of the fourth prince, his legs suddenly weakened, and he knelt on the ground, without saying a word, as if he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Cheng Yuguan had some thoughts in his heart at this time, and looked up at the fourth prince, "Although this coachman doesn't speak, he is vicious in his heart." Then twenty boards? ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he shook his head, "If you are so ruthless, you either ignore it, or if you ignore it, you will make him powerless to fight back." Otherwise, along the way, he has a grudge in his heart, can you still guard against it? ”

Cheng Yu shuddered, "Then what do you say?" ”

The fourth prince nodded, "I'll help you again." Someone came, locked up the coachman, locked up with those fake mountain bandits, and waited until they entered Beijing to investigate and deal with them. ”

The coachman didn't pretend to be at this time, he looked at the fourth prince with horror in his eyes, and then looked at Cheng Yuguan, "Miss, the slave still has a wife and children at home, you have mercy!" The minions are willing to bear thirty boards and let you vent! ”

Cheng Yuguan shook his head, "Don't tell me." How many times have I asked you to stop in the carriage, and you have not taken me seriously from beginning to end, and do not beg me for mercy at this time. ”

In the blink of an eye, the coachman was dragged down by the guards.

Mama Chen was lying on the ground at the moment, and the ruthlessness in her eyes had turned into fear.

The fourth prince nodded his chin at the old slave, and said simply, "This kind of spoiled and coquettish, Diao slave who puts himself above the master, it stands to reason that it is not too much to kill him immediately." But after all, she was Mrs. Hou's subordinate, so she signed and tied up her mistakes, and handed them over to Mrs. Hou for disposal when the time came. ”

Cheng Yuguan clapped his hands, "Your Highness is smart!" ”

The fourth prince shook his head, asked the post manager to come forward, wrote a confession, handed it to Mama Chen, and showed Mama Chen the ink.

Mama Chen's eyes looked around, and above this hall, except for the eldest lady, there were people from the four princes.

Along the way, she guarded Lin, but she never knew what to do, and she only saw that the eldest lady and several of the four princes' subordinates were getting acquainted with each other.

At the moment, no one can intercede for herself, and Mama Chen simply signed the confession.

On this, it is written that she is derelict and presumptuous, and with this thing, she will return home, and Mrs. will have nothing to say.

It is impossible to say that for the sake of face, Mrs. will punish herself severely.

Thinking of this, the spirit that Mama Chen had been holding all the way fell apart in an instant, and was dragged down by the guards like a dead dog.

Although Cheng Yuguan still had a fever at this time, after a good show by the four princes to deal with their subordinates with reason, her spirit came up again, her eyes were bright, and she got up to thank her.

"Thank you to the four princes for their help."

The fourth prince sat upright and waved his hand lazily, "I'm not kind. As I said, you owe me a favor. I'll take action for you once, and I'll instruct you to deal with your subordinates, these two, you will have to pay them back in the future. ”

Cheng Yuguan nodded vigorously, "Naturally, I want to pay it back." I have taken your kindness to heart, and in the future, wherever I am useful, you can speak! ”

Seeing Cheng Yuguan wrapped in a cloak, his eyes were moist due to fever, his cheeks were also red, and his face was innocent, the four princes picked up the tea cup and blocked the corners of their mouths.

On the side, Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng glanced at each other, and looked at the ignorant Cheng Yuguan with some sympathy.

This favor is difficult to return, and the favor of the Four Highnesses is even more difficult to return. Miss Cheng agreed happily at this time, but in the end it was too simple.

The two of them mourned in silence for Miss Cheng, but in the end, they were the people of the four princes, and naturally they would not dismantle their master's platform.

In the lobby, it was quiet again.

Cheng Yuguan sat on one side, waiting for his own medicine, and the four princes sat quietly and drank tea.

"Today, I will teach you, what reason will you receive?"

Coldly, the four princes spoke, breaking the silence in the hall.

Cheng Yuguan is also happy to talk.

She was an ordinary girl in her last life, she was a good girl since she was a child, studying hard, taking exams, and going to work all the way.

If there's anything special about it, it's that the older she gets, the more silent she becomes.

Her parents said that she was becoming more and more withdrawn, but she just followed her own heart and didn't want to deal with boring people and talk nonsense.

Coming through time, it is still viviparous.

As soon as Cheng Yuguan opened her eyes, she experienced her biological mother's heavy hemorrhage, and the night of chaos and intrigue overwhelmed her.

Immediately afterwards, she was carried by her grandmother to the ancestral house, and grew up in the relatively simple and closed environment of Chengjia Village, and was regarded as a daughter by the patriarch's family.

In this ancient period when there was no guide and no way out, Cheng Yuguan almost thought that he was going to die in Chengjia Village.

Unexpectedly, her grandfather's family, who had long forgotten her, was victorious, and her little transparent regained its value, and she was taken out of Chengjia Village by Mama Chen.

Cheng Yuguan's biological father, the order of the Hou Ye, the patriarch could not forcibly leave her, just like that, Cheng Yuguan, who had lived in a simple environment for two lifetimes, was about to go to Beijing and face an unprecedented complex situation.

The indifferent father, the scheming stepmother, the stepsister and brother who are waiting to take away her blessing, and the maternal grandfather's family who have not met for more than ten years.

There are even subordinates who charge forward like Mama Chen and charge for the master.

Thinking that she had entered the Hou Mansion, she was alone, surrounded by other people's eyeliner and subordinates, if someone really wanted her own life, she couldn't drink a glass of water at will.

This kind of embattled and step-by-step life, Cheng Yuguan, a girl who has never experienced it, is not just as simple as anxiety and fear.

Born in chaos, the conspiracy and trade-offs seem to be playing out again in her life.

Cheng Yuguan was not ready, so he was taught a good lesson by Mama Chen.

Without the Hou Ye and Mrs., let alone the heroine's conspiracy and calculation, just three subordinates almost made her lose half her life!

At this time, in the face of the examination of the four princes, Cheng Yu naturally did not vomit or be unhappy.

This is her experience and thoughts in just half a month, and she can't wait to share them with a "stranger".
