Chapter VII Controlling

"You said that the Senior Marquis Staff killed Yu Chan?" The servant girl by the side lowered her head and recounted the scene she saw to the Zhou's, "Yes, Madam. It is said that not even half of the maids in the courtyard of the Great Miss were able to withstand the twenty staff strikes. Their blood flowed all over the ground as they cried and screamed, and even I, the servant, stood on the side in a panic."

"Heh heh, it looks like the old tutor is a man of his word." The lively phoenix was stitched out by the Zhou's. As she looked at it, she smiled, "Regarding the old lady's courtyard, don't meddle in it too much in the future, this old lady does not like Zhen Er, but the one who truly makes the decision in the Hou Mansion is still the Senior Marquis. Furthermore, this big brother and old master are the same mother, Zhen Er has lost his mother since young, we should take care of him more."

Zhou's thought for a moment, put down the embroidery in his hands, and instructed the maidservants by the side: "In a few days, this boat will be back. Go and take the black fox fur coat from my room and send it to Sunflower House, say that it was prepared for Young Master Hang."

"Bang, bang, bang!" The inside of Gauguin's house was filled with fragments of tea plates. This Yu Chan was the maid who accompanied him back in the days, and grew up together with him. Their relationship was deep, and if it wasn't for the fact that the old lady liked Yu Chan a lot, the Gauguin wouldn't have sent Yu Chan to the old lady's courtyard just to curry the favor of the old lady.

"Madame, please calm down." Gauguin's wet nurse passed him a cup of tea as she spoke.

"Mammy, Yu Chan, Yu Chan is dead." Gauguin had a pair of good eyes, which were big and bright with ripples, as though he wanted to say something at last, and his eyes were clean. His slightly raised eyes revealed a kind of strange love, as if it was because of Yu Chan's death that caused his eyes to flicker with silver light.

In fact, Gauguin didn't care about Yu Chan's life and death at all, but because of Yu Chan's death, there was no one of her own in the old lady's house anymore. Although the Third Master was the old lady's biological son, there had never been any conflicts between the two of them.

"Miss! Miss!" Cui Er happily ran into the house. As Dong Mei was explaining the theories of medicine to Ji Zhen, the Mother Chen glared at Cui Er, but Cui Er pretended not to see it. He ran to Ji Zhen's side with a face full of expectation, as if to say: Hurry up and ask me!

"Did Yu Chan get caned to death?" Ji Zhen did not even raise his head as he carefully looked at the teacup in his hand.

Cui Er's eyes instantly widened in disbelief. "Miss, how did you know?"

As he spoke, a wailing voice came from outside the house: "Miss, Miss, please spare this servant. This old servant has lost his consciousness and charged into Miss, I beg Miss to atone for his sins."

"Miss, I'll go take a look." Cui Er jumped out of the door and took a look, "Miss, it's Li mama, she's kneeling in the courtyard."

"Bring her in." Yes, Miss. "

"Miss, Miss, this old servant knows my wrongs. It was this old servant who was blind and had his heart clouded with mud that charged into Miss. I hope that Miss can give my life on account of this old servant being loyal to Hou Mansion for many years." Li mama knocked his head on the ground, his face was pale and his lips were trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh? Didn't Li mama already receive her punishment this afternoon? What? Why should I care? Cui Er, quickly help Li mama up. " Ji Zhen wore a red jacket, and under the flickering candlelight and with Ji Zhen's tightly knitted eyebrows, it made Li mama's heart tremble.

"Mother Chen, have you arranged all the female servants in my courtyard in the past?" The teacup in Ji Zhen's hand moved the rim of the cup bit by bit, which was extremely obvious in the quiet room.

To reply Miss, marquis has sent someone to bring all the maids in the courtyard away this afternoon. All of them were punished with twenty staffs, and those who managed to resist were sold off. The Mother Chen's extremely serious voice kept echoing in his mind. Selling ? Staff punishment ?

When Mother Chen finished speaking, Ji Zhen turned around and smiled at him, "Li mama, look, Grandfather still loves me a lot."

This scared Li mama so much that he immediately kneeled down on the ground with a "plop". "Miss is the first daughter of Hou Mansion, of course he would feel sorry for you."

"Grandmother also loves me dearly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you to my courtyard to serve me. Li mama. " Li mama only felt a sharp light shoot towards him, and replied shakily, "Madame is naturally good to Miss, too."

"En, I told Grandfather, don't disobey me in my courtyard, and don't have second thoughts. These people's hearts are the hardest to satisfy. Li mama, what do you say? " Ji Zhen's head lowered slightly, her bun covering the candlelight, casting a shadow on Ji Zhen's face, making it hard for him to fathom Ji Zhen's expression.

"Yes, yes, Miss is right." Li mama laid on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Suddenly, Li mama felt as if she was shrouded in a shadow. "Didn't Li mama say this time, that you are a person in the courtyard of Grandmother? Zhen Er can't punish him? Since that's the case, then Zhen Er will tell Grandfather, what do you think about sending him back to his courtyard? "

When Li mama heard this, he immediately looked up in panic. Ji Zhen was standing in front of her: "Miss, Miss, this old servant was truly wrong. This old servant will definitely take care of Miss wholeheartedly in the future.

"Oh? Really? Why didn't Grandmother bring the medicine in the room to your mama? I heard that it was bestowed to you by the Emperor, so there won't be any scars on your face. " After he finished speaking, Ji Zhen stroked the strands of hair beside his ear all the way back, revealing a scar on his forehead.

Li mama saw this and understood that they were waiting for her to make a name for herself. Besides the old lady herself knowing where the royal gifts were, only she and Wang mama knew the locations of them.

"Miss, don't worry. This servant will take care of it." Li mama blessed his swollen face that resembled a pig head, and retreated.

From the looks of it, Li mama was also someone who knew when to advance and when to retreat. After being a servant for so many years, a good bird choosing a tree was something that everyone understood better than anyone else. If you are sensible, you can be taught, maybe you can become the capital to stand in the dirty backyard of Hou Mansion.

"Mother Chen, inform the person in charge of purchasing in the courtyard that from tomorrow onwards, Li Da will be in charge of purchasing in the courtyard." Ji Zhen sipped on his tea and quietly looked out the window.

Thinking about it, in a few days, fenger would be back soon, and it would probably be the busiest time in Hou Mansion.
