Qiao Lian'er heard the muffled sound and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Second Young Master, what's wrong? What happened?"
Pei Shijiu struggled, his mouth tightly shut, desperately trying to maintain his last shred of dignity.
Falling into a cesspool is bad enough, but if he swallowed a whole mouthful, he'd never be able to hold his head up in the Pei family again.
Qiao Lian'er couldn't hear a reply, so she guessed that something must have happened. She could imagine two possibilities: either she had fallen or she had been assassinated.
This feature will still cause some changes in the propagation of sound, and she can't say for sure.
I just pray that it won't be the latter.
However, Pei Shijiu's breathing was very disordered and heavy. He was breathing through his nostrils, seemingly afraid to use his mouth. Occasionally, other indescribable sounds could be heard, like someone struggling in mud.
Qiao Lian'er guessed again: "Second Young Master has fallen into a pit. What kind of pit?"
"It's not a cesspool, is it?"
Thinking of this possibility, Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but chuckle, the smile shifting from Pei Shijiu's face just now.
That's it, the little girl knows. Pei Shijiu's last line of defense collapsed, and he opened his mouth and took a big gulp.
Ahhh, heavens and earth, life is meaningless. His heart is ashen, and he closes his eyes, thinking that it would be better to drown in a cesspool.
In the next life, I'll be a hero again!
Fortunately, people kept coming to the outhouse, and Pei Shijiu was soon rescued.
He still held onto a sliver of hope, not wanting Qiao Lian'er to know about this, even though she had her suspicions. He planned to deny it outright once the food was ready.
So he frantically shook his head and winked at the servants, signaling them not to say anything.
But the servants couldn't understand their hints at all; they were shocked and flustered by the situation.
"Oh dear, Second Young Master was perfectly fine, how did he fall into the cesspool?"
"Quickly clean the second young master."
"We must not let the master and mistress find out, or they will blame us for not protecting the second young master."
Before he could finish the word "bastards," Pei Shijiu bent over and vomited, his face turning deathly pale.
“Little girl, they—wah—ugh—are talking nonsense—wah, don’t believe them—ugh—”
He had been holding back from vomiting so that Qiao Lian'er wouldn't be convinced, but now he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit up anything he hadn't already passed.
"Who is the Second Young Master talking to?"
"I don't know, maybe he fell into a cesspool and ate too much, which made him delirious."
"There are several large rocks in the cesspool; I'm afraid he might have hit his head and damaged it."
"Shut up, shut up!" Pei Shijiu shouted in his heart as he vomited uncontrollably.
However, after a while, we didn't hear Qiao Lian'er's voice. The little girl must have left to attend to other things.
Bae Si-gu hoped it would be like this.
After he had vomited almost all of it, a large basin of warm water was poured over him, followed by another basin after another.
After a rough rinse, their clothes were stripped off and they were thrown into a large bathtub.
Pei Shijiu leaned against the barrel, feeling as if what had just happened was a nightmare.
"Little girl, are you still there?"
