Chapter 10: Punishment of Servants
"You choose whether you will go find the butler and find a new master, or I will make trouble for you."
Qingyuan thought Liang Weiyuan would punish her, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel.
Everyone in the Huo family knew that Huo Jinjian was unconscious in bed. Apart from the old lady who was still concerned about him, no one else cared about his life or death.
If the master is like this, what about the servants?
"Madam, I know I was wrong. I will never do anything rash again. If I leave the Young Master's place, I'm afraid there will be no place for me in the Huo Mansion..."
Qingyuan begged for mercy from Liang Weiyuan, tears streaming down her face.
Liang Weiyuan naturally understood this truth, and that was why she should be punished more severely.
If I don't kill the chicken to scare the monkey, I'm afraid that other people in the Huo family will not be content and will repeatedly attack me and Huo Jinjian.
Although Huo Jin was now unconscious on the bed, he was still alive and was the legitimate son of the Huo family.
If he was scalded by a servant right under her nose, Liang Weiyuan would have a hard time explaining it to the old lady and her father-in-law.
Liang Weiyuan understood what was going on in her mind, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes as she looked at Mei Shu.
"If you do something wrong, you should accept the punishment. Otherwise, why wait to make the same mistake again? I am being lenient by not expelling you from the house."
Qingyuan sobbed in panic, knelt down and moved towards Liang Weiyuan, grabbing her clothes.
"Madam, I don't know how that puddle of water appeared on the ground..."
Liang Weiyuan pulled his sleeve and Qingyuan fell backwards.
It just happened to bump into Huo Siyuan who was pushing the door open.
Huo Siyuan originally wanted to test Huo Jinjian's situation, but he didn't want to see this scene.
Looking at the maid crying on the ground, Huo Siyuan frowned slightly.
He subconsciously helped the woman up and looked at Liang Weiyuan with displeasure.
Liang Weiyuan raised her long eyelashes slightly, and there was a coldness in her eyes.
A trace of anger rose between her brows, but she suppressed it lightly.
"What happened?"
When Qingyuan saw Huo Siyuan, the grievance in her eyes instantly magnified, and she covered her face and began to sob.
He even knelt down directly in front of Huo Siyuan.
"Second Young Master, please help me plead with the First Madam... I really didn't mean it, please don't kick me out of the house..."
Qingyuan was crying so hard that it made Huo Siyuan feel distressed.
Especially the crystal clear tears on the little face that was as big as a palm made her look even more pitiful.
"What's going on? As the eldest lady, you should be considerate of your subordinates. I remember this maid was sent by the second wife. Aren't you slapping the second wife in the face by doing this?"
As Huo Siyuan spoke, he took the initiative to pull up Qingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and protected her behind him.
Liang Weiyuan's face was so dark that ink could drip out.
She had carefully screened the servants in the mansion, but there were bound to be some who slipped through the net.
With the help of this basin of hot water, one of Yu's spies who was secretly hiding beside him was exposed.
Now looking at the two of them flirting with each other, Liang Weiyuan just felt disgusted.
"Second Young Master said the exact opposite. The Second House has committed such a shameful act, and I'm disciplining them on your behalf. This is to protect the Second House from losing face if word gets out. Or does Second Young Master think that people from the Second House shouldn't be punished for their mistakes?"
Liang Weiyuan's eyes were sharp, and Huo Siyuan couldn't bear the anger in her eyes for a moment and took a few steps back.
"Just now, this maid was carrying a basin of hot water and almost spilled it on the young master. I didn't drag her out and punish her with a stick. I just asked her to do some other errand. That's already a form of forgiveness."
Huo Siyuan was a little hesitant. It was really not appropriate for him to interfere too much in the affairs of this compound.
But Qingyuan bit her lower lip at this moment and looked at herself with tears in her eyes.
Huo Siyuan finally softened his heart.
