Chapter 54
The two maids were dumbfounded, holding their heads and screaming, "What are you doing?"
Shen Jiao said innocently: "Gifts, these are all treasures that my young master has carefully raised. Aren't they cute?"
Shen Jiao raised her hand, and two hamsters jumped out from her sleeves, their little red eyes almost staring at them.
These are two barn mice that look very much like wild mice. They have thick, long, thin tails and are not cute at all.
"ah!!!!!!"
They obviously didn't like it, and they jumped and ran into the main house, shouting randomly: "They, they..."
Before he could figure out what was going on, he was slapped twice by Lingnu: "Why are you panicking?"
She was indeed skilled in martial arts, and the two maids' faces became red and swollen in an instant.
Yu Nu asked calmly and coldly, "Seventeenth Young Master, is this how you usually give gifts?"
Shen Jiao: "No, my young master doesn't have any good things. He never gives gifts to anyone. The Sixth Young Master is the first one!"
"So, my young master should feel honored?" Yu Nu was so angry that she laughed.
Shen Jiao glanced at her and said in a strange voice, "That's not necessary. We should be thankful that the Sixth Young Master doesn't kill us for entering your territory without permission."
Yunu:......
"I don't want to argue with you, and it's not your place to question the Sixth Young Master's character. I'll only say this once: arrest these damn rats."
"No!" Shen Jiao said in a rhythmic voice, "We need to take the cage back and use it again. Don't be too greedy!"
Qiongzhi said weakly, "These were all given by Madam, how could they be damned? Could it be that Madam would fool my son with something that everyone despises?"
"That's right!" Shen Jiao raised her chin even higher, squinting at them and asked, "Do you know how to do it?"
Yunu:......
"Hmph, it seems that she won't do that. I told you that Madam is a good person, unlike some people who have such dirty hearts... The things have been delivered, let's go." Shen Jiao turned around angrily and saw a spirit slave who also had his head raised.
"What are you doing, little dwarf? Move away. You're so small, aren't you afraid of being stepped on?"
Lingnu clenched his fists, but Shenjiao couldn't move him.
Kind of interesting...
She took two sideways steps like a crab and said fiercely again: "Let's go!"
"Who dares to leave?"
Ling Nu was probably a thug, and when he saw that he couldn't stop her, he actually drew a soft sword from his waist, crushed the stone slab with one foot, and poked the man in front of her with the tip of the sword.
Everyone screamed in fright and took a step back.
Shen Jiao screamed, "Oh my God, the Sixth Young Master is going to kill someone again!"
"You dare to talk nonsense? You are really looking for death." Lingnu raised his sword and stabbed.
Xue Lang didn't speak until then: "Slave Ling, please don't be rude. Seventeenth Brother must have known that Mr. Song refused to come back, and he's angry with me, so he called them here. Ahem, let them make a fuss, it's okay."
Xue Lang, contrary to his usual behavior, appeared in front of the main house dressed warmly and looked extremely weak.
"Young Master!" Ling Nu shouted unwillingly.
Xue Lang coughed again and said angrily, "Put it away."
She glared at Shen Jiao and reluctantly put the soft sword back to her waist. Only then did Shen Jiao notice that her inconspicuous belt was actually a scabbard.
"Greetings, Sixth Young Master. I'm a dull servant, and I really don't understand what you mean. Could it be that you've offended Mr. Song again, and that's why he refuses to come back? How could that be? Mr. Song has always been the most understanding. As long as you sincerely admit your mistakes, he will forgive you no matter what. What did you say to Mr. Song?"
Shen Jiao was confused and lied with his eyes open.
Xue Lang's head was full of question marks:
[Song is reasonable? What? Does she think I'm just being myself?]
System: [Given your personality, it's not impossible.]
Xue Lang: [If you can't speak, you can just shut up.]
Oh. (Indifferent)
The system fell silent. Yu Nu stepped forward to support him, and said to Shen Jiao with resentment, "What can my young master say? He was naturally speaking up for the Seventeenth Young Master, but Mr. Song, in his rage, actually attacked him. The young master, considering his age and the fact that he was his teacher, couldn't fight back, so he took the blow and is still sick. And your young master is like a coward, picking a fight and then calling for others to make trouble."
"Yu Nu, stop talking," Xue Lang said slowly, "Seventeenth Brother is not that kind of person."
"Sixth Young Master, please understand. My young master is certainly not that kind of person. He asked us to come because he thought you had done the job. Who would have thought that you, despite your promise, failed to do it and even got beaten?"
Shen Jiao tucked her hair behind her ears, looked up at him, and curled her lips, almost saying, "What a waste."
Xue Lang wanted to kill her immediately, but he had no suitable excuse. He could only swallow his anger and smile bitterly, saying, "I have failed to live up to Seventeenth Brother's request. I will come to apologize later."
"Forget it. The Sixth Young Master's visit will make people think you messed up, while those who don't will think my Young Master is bullying others. You should take good care of your injuries and stop taking the initiative to stand up for my Young Master. You can keep these rats in the warehouse for your enjoyment. I heard that the Sixth Young Master is very interested in them. I will take my leave now. I have to tell my Young Master this bad news, and I don't know if he can bear it..."
Shen Jiao took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears and walked away.
Qiongzhi and the others also had sad faces, carrying the cage that had been covered with cloth again and following behind, as if they had suffered some great injustice.
The people in Hechunyuan looked at the rats running around in the yard and the flowers and plants that had been gnawed to pieces, and felt that everything that had just happened was ridiculous.
If they were not mistaken.
The Sixth Young Master was indeed severely criticized, right?
Or was it the maidservant of the Seventeenth Young Master...
Ling Nu's face flushed with anger: "Sir, this maid is really rude. Why don't you ask me to kill her and vent your anger for you?"
"Alas, they are Seventeen's maids after all. If I make a fuss, Seventeen will be unhappy. So forget it. You guys should just work hard and catch them all."
After Xue Lang finished speaking, he coughed a few more times, and under the pitying gazes of everyone, he was helped back to the house by Yu Nu.
As soon as the door closed, Jin Yu came out from the darkness, her eyes flickering and her expression timid, saying, "Sir, this is none of my business. I didn't expect them to dare to cause trouble."
"I don't blame you. Who would have thought that Seventeen would do such a thing? I'm afraid he was instigated by someone."
Xue Lang sighed dejectedly.
Jin Yuxin made up his mind and grinned, "That was probably Shen Jiao's idea. The young master likes to have her around and listen to her."
"Well, that's true. Seventeen really started to change after she came here," Xue Lang pondered. "Originally, I was worried about him, so I asked you to keep an eye on him. Now that he knows everything, I'm afraid he won't believe anything I say. It's not a good idea for you to stay here. I have a house west of Qishui County. You can stay there for a while. I'll let you come back when our relationship has eased."
Jin Yu's expression grew even more rigid. "But, but I have been in the manor for many years... Sixth Young Master, why don't you assign me a job somewhere? I will avoid Seventeenth Young Master."
"Hey, why bother? Just stay for a while. Once I've dealt with that bitch, I'll call you back. I really like smart people like you. I'll need you to come back to my Seventeenth Brother and help me take care of him."
Xue Lang seemed to have sensed her worry, and he walked over to her and pinched her arms. Being so close, Jin Yu subconsciously tensed her body and struggled slightly.
Xue Lang also loosened his hand and ordered without hesitation: "Yu Nu, send her away."
As he spoke, Yu Nu had already opened the secret passage.
Xue Lang said slowly, "Look, I even told you the location of the secret passage. Would I lie to you?"
He placed a glowing white butterfly on her hand and whispered, "Go ahead. If you have anything, use Psylocke to send a message to me."
Jin Yu looked at the butterfly and finally made up her mind. She bowed to him and said, "I will take my leave. Take care, sir."
Xue Lang smiled and watched her leave.
What an idiot.
