Chapter 498 Fourteen: Warm the wine, don’t scare me!
The Fourth Master was suddenly thrown into her arms, his face pale, and he stretched out his hands to protect her stomach. After a moment's cushioning, he was able to hold Wen Jiu firmly in his arms.
"Girl, are you crazy?"
Her belly was now a bit bigger, and it seemed very difficult for her to walk. She actually dared to rush over like this! The Fourth Master was terrified just thinking about it.
Wen Jiu held his mouth tightly and repeated again: "Master, Jiu'er has been bullied!"
The Fourth Master looked at her and found that there was dust on the girl's face. Then he remembered what she had just done and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Who bullied you?"
The Fourth Master's voice was cold, and his gaze was almost tangible, drifting lightly towards the servants around him, and finally settling on Nanny Gui.
Aunt Gui was stunned and lowered her head silently. How come she looked like someone who could bully this girl?
The Fourth Master thought about it, then denied his own thoughts and shifted his attention to Li Dequan who was not far away from him.
Li Dequan also lowered his head silently, feeling a thousand grievances in his heart. It was fine for the Fourth Master to doubt Aunt Gui, after all, Aunt Gui was not someone to be trifled with. But what was he doing? His Majesty had asked him to assist Miss Wen, so how could he dare to bully her?
Your Majesty, when can I be transferred back?
Seeing that the Fourth Master couldn't find the key point, Wenjiu tugged at his sleeve, and pointed at Laishou with trembling slender little fingers.
"Master, that's him."
The Fourth Master looked in the direction his finger pointed, and saw a servant with a beaten pig's head looking at the little girl with indignation on his face.
The Fourth Master frowned and stared at Lai Shou for a long time. With a strange expression on his face, he asked, "Who is this person?"
"My Lord, I am innocent. How dare I bully Miss Wen? I did all these chores!" Lai Shou had also come to his senses and felt that Wen Jiu had definitely set a big trap for him!
The Fourth Master listened to Lai Shou's words, looked at him several times, and finally asked with some suspicion: "The people in the concubine's courtyard?"
Lai Shou almost cried for joy and kowtowed to the Fourth Master repeatedly.
The Fourth Master's brows also furrowed. "Why are Concubine's people here?"
Wenjiu lowered his head at the right time and stopped talking.
Liusu, who was standing beside her, immediately stepped forward and replied, "My Lord, earlier, Eunuch Shou came over with four burly maids, and they insisted on forcing me to make snacks. They said the gentlemen in the front yard wanted some.
The girl then said that she was not feeling well and could not move, so Lai Shou needed to use more force.
It was Nanny Gui who saw that he was not well behaved and punished him. If not, the young lady would have suffered some injustice this time."
Nanny Gui was listening with lowered brows and eyes, feeling inexplicably accused of such flattery. She could only step forward silently and said impartially, "Miss Liusu is absolutely right."
The Fourth Master narrowed his narrow eyes and said, "What a grand gesture."
At this moment, the Fourth Master's chest was heaving violently. He held the person in his palm, wishing he could even feed her meals himself, not letting her fingers touch a single drop of water. How could someone else be so unscrupulous as to abuse her?
Suddenly, she felt as if the delicate flower she had carefully nurtured for years had been trampled into the mud. Her face darkened, and she tilted her head and asked, "Where's Li?"
How bold can such a slave be? Isn't it true that he has someone backing him up?
Lai Shou was so frightened that his body was shaking. "My Lord, it's not what you think. It was the gentlemen before him who insisted on having some snacks. Our concubine had no other choice but to come to Miss Wen for help. We definitely didn't mean to force her as you said!"
"At this point, you still dare to lie!" Shanzha glared at him. "Who do you think you are, Lord Beile? Can you fool us with just a few words? Even if all of us are speaking on the young lady's side, Nanny Gui is always fair, and Eunuch Li is watching us."
The Fourth Master was a little impatient when he heard this, so he just waved his hand and said, "Stop gag him and take him away. He's not annoying enough."
He turned around and took Wenjiu's hand and walked into the house. As he walked, he brushed off the dust on her hand: "Now you are in a good mood, doing what I ask you to do? Are you stupid? Are all these people I gave you just for show? At the very least, can you not let the dogs bite people?"
Wen Jiu listened seriously and said, "Master, Jiu'er understands. If I encounter something like this again, I will definitely release Wangcai."
The Fourth Master glanced at the wine being warmed and said, "This won't happen again!"
Wen Jiu was stunned and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Regardless of whether what the Fourth Master said was true or false, she was indeed happy to hear it at this time. She smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and was happily pulled inside by the Fourth Master.
With his other hand, he put it behind his back and gave a thumbs-up to everyone.
The people behind him saw the gesture of warming the wine clearly, and they couldn't help but exchange glances and laughed.
Seeing this gesture, Aunt Gui was speechless for a moment.
This was the first time I'd seen someone like this. Today's situation was already extremely frustrating. After being tormented by the girl, I suddenly felt like laughing.
"Hey? Ma, are you laughing?" Li Dequan looked incredulous.
Nanny Gui immediately frowned and said, "Eunuch, you must have made a mistake."
Li Dequan looked suspicious. "No, how could I be mistaken? So, Madam, you still have a canine tooth?"
Nanny Gui: "...Eunuch, when serving the master, you should be cautious in your words and actions, keep your brows lowered and your eyes closed. As you just did, you deserve ten slaps on the wrist."
Li Dequan: “…”
He immediately shut his mouth silently and straightened his back a little, fearing that the nanny would catch him.
The two of them looked like they were about to be severely punished, and the younger ones around them also straightened their backs.
When the Fourteenth Master came in, he found the yard full of people, yet there was not a single sound. He looked over and was shocked: "What are they doing? What happened? Where's Fourth Brother?"
Su Peisheng beside him immediately responded: "Fourteenth Master, please wait a moment, I will go in and report."
Soon, the Fourth Master and Wen Jiu came out to greet him.
"This servant greets the Fourteenth Master. I hope he is well."
Wenjiu bowed respectfully.
Seeing Wenjiu's expression, Fourteen was so frightened that he took several steps back. He said with a strange look on his face, "Wenjiu, please don't scare me. What's going on here?"
Thinking of something, the Fourteenth Master said, "You are suddenly so polite, are you asking me to borrow some money?"
Fourth Master: “…”
I inexplicably felt that something was wrong with this scene, but I couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong.
