Chapter 16 The Prosperity of Another World
"Back to Madam, I'm here from beginning to end today. That's the case, I and Zhang's mother..." Cuiying described to Meng from beginning to end, how Xiaotao apologized to Zhang's mother and sister-in-law Li, and how she stimulated Jin Bao and the others with words.
"Why does this little girl feel different from before when she goes out?" Meng frowned slightly and said in confusion.
"Maybe, as she said, after going out, I realized that the dissatisfaction outside was trying to turn back to justice?" said Chunyu, the close maid next to Meng.
Cuiying said with a rigorous expression: "But we all know that Chuntao has many problems, but we never know that she is so quick and neat? Is she hiding too deeply?"
"Yes, after she came back, she went to the eldest lady's yard first!" Madam Yan was still suspicious of Chuntao.
"You all secretly check it out to see what she has experienced from the beginning of going out to returning home? Xuan'er can't make any mistakes!" Meng did not dare to bet on her daughter's life, so she could only use all means to silently protect her behind her back.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, several people retreated.
"Bastard! That little bastard dared to kill my man. Doesn't she want to live?" Shangguan Mingchen, who returned to Xu's yard, slapped the coffee table so angry that he slapped the "bang" sound.
"You are also stupid. If you don't know how to investigate it first, you will make the eldest son and my wife lose such a big face. How did you do it?" Xu spread the fire to Keer who was passing the message incorrectly.
"Madam, when I left, Jin Bao drew his sword. Who would have thought that a chief guard could be subdued by a little maid?" Ke'er immediately knelt on the ground and explained while crying.
Shangguan Mingchen glanced at her. Even his wife did not protect her. Instead, he blamed her: "You shouldn't have come to me and my mother. They killed them. If something happened, there would naturally be someone named Meng to resist. My father would also blame her for the housekeeper. It would be better than smashing her face now..."
Shangguan Mingchen became more and more angry as he spoke. For the first time, he was slapped in the face in front of so many people. How could he gain a foothold in the mansion?
"I know I'm wrong!" Ke'er knelt down pitifully and apologized, not daring to say a word of explanation, for fear that they would hold on even more.
"Mother, I can't blame Ke'er for this matter..." Shangguan Yuxin walked in gracefully.
He whispered to the maids and nannies who were serving in the room: "You all go down! I'll persuade my mother and elder brother!"
"Yes!" A group of servants who were trembling and feared to implicate their own family retreated with gratitude.
In the room, there were only three mothers and sons.
"You can pretend to be a good person!" Shangguan Mingchen gave his sister a blank look.
"Okay, Chuntao was at the back corner for half a night last night. I asked Jinzhi to put it in the morning. I have already knocked it. Moreover, when I entered my yard, no one saw it. Sooner or later, I will know that Chuntao may be my person. If she is dead or not, it is not my thing to say!" Shangguan Yuxin said with ulterior motives.
"Since you've hit it, how can you do this? Then Jinbao is my right-hand man!" Shangguan Mingchen said angrily.
"But didn't she take the opportunity to get the appreciation and trust of Meng's family? Putting that idiot next to Meng's family and Shangguan Yuxuan is much more useful than Jinbao!" Shangguan Yuxin had no sympathy for Jinbao's death, as if she felt that his life was not as important as her own rouge powder.
"What did you think of to get rid of them, mother and daughter?" Xu immediately leaned up and asked.
"Of course, you guys say, if they intend to plot against the eldest prince..." Shangguan Yuxin smiled mysteriously.
Looking at her confident smile, Shangguan Mingchen and Xu immediately became energetic. They were the emperor's favorite eldest son. If they could contact him, they would probably not be able to escape even if they had the face of Grandmaster Meng.
Lan Yunyi looked at the kneeling on the ground and asked Yuan Wu, who had been telling him all the time, with a dark and suspicious look on his face: "You mean, she is the only one who survived among the fifty slave prisoners in the fight slavery field?"
"Yes, master, I also heard Yuan San's return and went to the slave hall to confirm the news. I just came back! The little maid named Chuntao did defeat the Jiangyang thief and survived!" Yuan Wu continued.
Lan Yunyi frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: Could it be that Mr. Meng was planning to arrange it by her side and secretly protecting her? But if it were a secret guard, how could he do such a dirty and brainless thing?
"Send someone to stare at her first to see what she wants to do? Whose person is? Then check who she teaches? Who are they still in contact with?" Lan Yunyi felt that he would just watch the changes first and use calmness to control his movements.
"Yes!" Yuan Wu kowtowed and stood up and left!
In the servant's room a few days later.
Looking at the face that had recovered from seven or eight in the mirror and was swollen, Xiaotao couldn't help but sigh: No wonder Chuntao dared to rely on her appearance and tied her face. She had a good skin, her eyebrows were thick and apricot eyes were bright, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she was full of charm with her smile. She looked like she was not a peaceful person!
No, such a little fairy can't come by himself. Xiao Tao got started and modified her eyebrows and practiced a cheerful smile in front of the mirror for a few times. Sure enough, that charming spirit was much less!
"Chuntao, Miss!" Dongmei entered the house and sent a message.
"Okay, thank you Sister Dongmei, I'll go there now!" Xiaotao responded with pleasure and immediately stood up.
"Eh?" Dongmei frowned her little eyebrows, scratched her head and looked at Xiao Tao's neat and straightforward back, curious in her heart, what had she experienced to make her so quick and happy? She was the one who didn't let go without her in the mirror!
"How is it? Have the injuries on your body healed now?" Shangguan Yuxuan asked Xiaotao as soon as he entered the door.
"It's scarred, it won't take long to get it!" Xiao Tao replied bluntly.
"That's good. If you have any discomfort, just tell Xia He directly and let her arrange for you to recuperate!" Shangguan Yuxuan said to her and Xia He.
"Yes, Miss!"
"Okay, Miss!" the two responded together.
"Why is it because the lady is looking for me?" Xiao Tao has now forced herself to integrate into this environment and way of speaking. Otherwise, the style of doing things that is different from before will easily make them suspicious.
"I know that on weekdays, you love to run away the most. These days you have been so tired! Li Xiangzhai released a new product of walnut pastry and almond cakes today. Go and buy some and come back!" Shangguan Yuxuan said with a smile on her face with anticipation.
What are the delicious walnut crisps and almond cakes? For Xiaotao, who has seen all kinds of strange desserts and snacks in his previous life, these common things really don’t arouse her interest.
But seeing the expectation in Shangguan Yuxuan's eyes, Xiaotao sighed and muttered in her heart: 'This child has never eaten anything good! Because you have always supported me, I have time to make some trouble for you!'
Since I was in the book, this is Xiaotao's first time going out. It is during the bustling day. He looked around and looked at the hawking sounds of small vendors along the street, the jingle sounds from the iron shop, and the shouts of the waiter in the restaurant's entrance...
Everything looks so full of fireworks. Xiaotao is in such an environment and suddenly feels like he has entered another world, everything is so novel and interesting.
I even feel a little more complacent sense of superiority in my heart. I come from a country with a civilization of 5,000 years. In the 21st century science and technology era, I have been working hard for nearly 30 years. What else can I worry about here!
"Stop, how can you steal my purse? Return it to me quickly, otherwise I will report it to the official!"
Xiaotao was feeling the different prosperity of this other world! Hearing anxious shouts coming from the front.
Based on the principle of not being too serious about watching the fun, Xiaotao took two steps forward and saw a young woman in her twenties in the crowd holding a thin girl in her twelve or thirteen years old and not letting go. The anxious shouting was made by her.
"I didn't, you wronged me!" The thin little girl seemed to be frightened, trying to get rid of the little woman, her slender and weak hands, and she struggled to tear the other party's imprisoned arm.
"The little girl doesn't learn well, and she dares to argue with stealing things!" The little woman took out a green purse from the girl's arms and shouted to the crowd watching: "Look, this purse is mine, she doesn't admit it yet!"
"Now, these children don't learn well, why do they all act like stealers?" The old man, who is a year old, sighed at the coldness of the world.
"That's right, send her to the government and put her in prison. See who else in this capital dares to be this little thief!" Another big man also agreed.
"Hey, seeing that this child is so young, let's forget it! Give her a chance to reform and spare him this time!" The old woman held the vegetable basket, looking pity.
"It's good or bad..." Some aunts and sisters-in-law also felt pity because they had children at home, so they wanted the little woman to forgive others.
"No, that purse is mine, it was given to me by Brother Jiu, and I asked me to buy medicine for my mother!" The little girl reached out and wanted to grab the blue purse anxiously.
But the little woman avoided it with a quick eye and said even more angrily: "To this day, you still dare to lie. This is obviously my purse! It seems that I really can't spare you kindly. Let's go to the government!"
When he heard that he was really going to the government office, the little girl shivered for a moment and looked embarrassed on her face.
But in the eyes of others, this is the expression of guilty expression! He was even more scolded by everyone and couldn't raise his head.
"The wallet is mine. You bully people. I want to find my ninth brother. He will not let you go!" The little girl pulled the little woman back and did not dare to relax. Her eyes were red but her mouth was stubborn without giving in. But the helplessness in her eyes really made Xiaotao feel a little distressed.
In modern times, this is just a child in the fifth and sixth grades. It would be strange if he is not afraid of being siege by so many adults!
"You said this purse is yours, and she said it is hers. How do you prove that this is yours?" Xiao Tao asked the little woman.
