Chapter 53: The Unlucky Steward Wu
Looking at Gao Xuezhi after losing her mind, Old Madam Bai completely gave up the idea of letting Bai Junhong take her as a concubine.
Even if she is fascinated by the incense, she hugs a subordinate like this, and the old lady dislikes her for being dirty and unworthy of her son.
Jia Ding suppressed his voice and asked, "Old lady, are you dragged out of the General's Mansion?" β
"Yes, drag out of the General's Mansion and drag it farther, the farther the better."
"Yes."
The two housekeepers glanced at each other, dragged Gao Xuezhi out of the old lady's room, and walked towards the gate.
Suddenlyβ
The old lady remembered that there was still a charm incense in the room, and it seemed that she had inhaled a lot of it herself.
Her face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly ran over to extinguish the fascination, and she was so worried that she was dying.
What if I have a seizure?
The old men have passed away, who to find to detoxify?
She hurried outside to avoid inhaling more of the incense.
When she saw the table full of food, she suddenly couldn't walk.
After tossing all night, I didn't finish dinner, and at this time I was so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back.
"Steward Wu, go and warm up the food for the old body, the crystal elbow was thrown away."
"Yes, old lady."
Steward Wu agreed, but his eyes looked at the crystal elbow and was a little reluctant to throw it.
This thing is not something that every household can eat, at least not those who are under the people.
What a pity to throw away the crystal elbow that hasn't been moved, isn't it good to take it back and enjoy it yourself?.
So, Steward Wu removed the crystal elbow and brought it directly to his room.
After waiting for the old lady to have dinner, he couldn't wait to go back to his room and enjoy the crystal elbow.
β¦β¦
Nie Wenjing, who returned to the room, began to be confused, and when Bai Qianmo saw it, she hurriedly left her mother's room with her three older sisters, so that her father could detoxify her mother.
After dinner, Mrs. Bai also began to feel uncomfortable, but fortunately, she had not lost her mind, but this night, she didn't want to sleep well.
At the same time, there was also Steward Wu who stole the crystal elbow and couldn't sleep......
Following.
As soon as dawn broke, a terrifying cry of ghosts and gods resounded throughout the General's Mansion.
"Ahh Steward Wu, you have suffered a thousand cuts, the old lady has fought with you! β
Bai Junhong, who heard the shouting, hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and went to check the situation.
In Steward Wu's room, the old lady who was a choresman in the kitchen was disheveled, her hair was scattered, and her fat body chased Steward Wu in Steward Wu's narrow room, tearing and whipping wildly.
Steward Wu can't say how hard he is, and he is so old that he can't even run away from the old lady who does chores in the kitchen.
The old lady who worked in the kitchen was also unlucky, and when she came out at night to relieve herself, she was forcibly dragged into the room by Steward Wu, who had lost her mind in traditional Chinese medicine, to detoxify.
By the time Bai Junhong arrived, Steward Wu was already blue and swollen, and he was weak.
"What's going on?" Bai Junhong frowned and asked.
As soon as the old lady saw General Bai, she knelt in front of him with a "poof" and began to cry: "General, you want to be the master of the old slave!" Steward Wu, he is not a human, he is a beast, what kind of face will the old slave have in the future?
The old slave is a family person, and he is so old, how can the old slave live! Woohoo......"
Bai Junhong is one head and two big, it was really a mistake not to drive Steward Wu out yesterday!
Steward Wu cried with a sad face, and said with a helpless face: "General, the slave is also forced to be helpless!" The old slave didn't expect that the crystal elbow was drugged! β
"What crystal elbow?"
"Last night, the old lady asked the old slave to heat the dish and threw the crystal elbow away...... "Steward Wu told him what had happened.
Bai Junhong's back was cold, that was what his mother prepared for him, fortunately Nie Wenjing overheard it, otherwise he would have been the one who was recruited.
"Aunt Li, how do you want to solve this matter?" Bai Junhong asked.
He wanted to ask for the opinions of the parties, after all, this kind of thing was a big deal, and it was not good for Aunt Li's reputation.
But if Aunt Li chooses to report to the official, he will also support it, and if she does something wrong, she will have to pay the corresponding price.
Aunt Li was stunned, and when she really decided how to solve it, she had no idea.
She hated Steward Wu to death, but if she really went to the government to sue him, she had to make it known to everyone.
I'm a lot older, and I really can't afford to lose that person.
But if she let go of Steward Wu like this, she was very unwilling in her heart, why should she let him go so easily?
Aunt Li hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "General, the old slave is also old, if it makes trouble with the government, it doesn't matter if the old slave is embarrassed, but if the family is affected, it is a big problem, and the old slave is not willing to let go of Steward Wu easily, and the old slave wants Steward Wu to compensate the old slave!" β
When Steward Wu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "How much silver do you want me to compensate you?" β
Aunt Li stretched out her right hand and spread her five fingers: "Five, five hundred taels." β
"What?" Steward Wu blew up: "Five hundred taels? Why don't you grab it? You've buried half of the loess, is it still worth five hundred taels? β
What do you say...... (Even the author wants to wear the book to smoke him a few big pockets O(β©_β©)O!) οΌ
When Aunt Li heard this, she instantly became angry: "What's wrong with the old lady?" I think the old lady is old and worthless, right? Okay! The old lady doesn't want you to compensate, go, go to the official mansion with the old lady! β
Steward Wu was dumbfounded, how could he go to the official mansion?
That's a jail sentence.
A handful of old bones, it is possible to get in alive and not come out.
But if he compensates for 500 taels and sells his family's ancestral home, he may be able to make it up.
Even if he is the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, the monthly price of a month is only six taels of silver.
Five hundred taels, six or seven years in vain.
Steward Wu had a bitter old face, and slowly knelt down in front of Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, I was wrong, I was a bastard, but I also had no choice, I was drugged and delirious, so I would do such a beastly act, I am willing to compensate, but I don't have so much silver!" Are you okay, let me go? β
Aunt Li sneered: "Let you go?" What about the old lady? Did it make you waste in vain? The old lady is old, but it's not like you can waste it if you want to, five hundred taels, one or two less, let's go to see the official. β
Seeing Aunt Li's resolute attitude, the housekeeper turned to kowtow to Bai Junhong: "General, save the old slave!" The old slave really didn't mean it, the old slave was also drugged! β
Bai Junhong said: "Steward Wu, no one forced you to eat that crystal elbow, right?" The old lady let you throw it away, and you actually ate it yourself, how do you let General Ben save you? If you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility and pay the price, you better figure it out yourself!
Either negotiate compensation with Aunt Li, or go to the government to solve it, if this kind of thing happens, you have to give Aunt Li an explanation, right? β
Steward Wu was helpless, so he had to beg Aunt Li again: "Aunt Li, I beg you, can you do it for a hundred taels?" I really don't have that much silver, and I still have to scrape together a hundred taels! β
Aunt Li said angrily: "One hundred taels you want to send the old lady away, the old lady is old, but so what?" The old lady has been innocent all her life, and when she is insulted by you at this age, five hundred taels, not a penny less. β
