When everyone heard that the governor specifically wanted to see Xiao Hechuan, they all showed envious expressions.
Who is the governor? He is the highest leader of the entire Jeju. If he values you, you will be able to rise to prominence in the future.
It must be that he is lucky!
In his previous life, Xiao Hechuan had some friendship with the Governor of Jeju, but that was a matter of later times. He was a good official who valued talent and was dedicated to the people.
He wanted to see me, so why would Xiao Hechuan not see him? It wouldn't hurt to get to know him earlier!
However, he looked back at his wife and sister. The last time Jiang Sui was kidnapped was still fresh in his mind. He was really scared. He was lucky last time, but it might not be the same if it happened again.
So he asked his master if he could send his wife's sister back first, and then go to meet the governor.
This small request is of course no problem, and it is human nature for people to care about their family.
So, before going to see the Governor again, Xiao Hechuan first sent Jiang Sui and Lanlan back to the Xiao family, and then he followed his master to the Governor's Mansion to meet the Governor.
The governor's surname was also Xue. When Sima came to him with the test papers that day, he specifically mentioned that there was a very talented candidate among this year's candidates. When he was marking the papers, he looked at his answer sheet and compared it with those of other candidates. Finally, he decided that he would be the top candidate in this provincial examination.
The governor specifically asked to see him because he was curious about this young man and wanted to meet him. It was just a casual conversation, nothing else.
I believe Xiao Hechuan can handle it with ease.
…
Going back to the past, after Xiao Hechuan and Ruxing met, Ruxing told Ye Shu the news she had heard.
She told Ye Shu that the person the maid had found before was not reliable, and that Madam Jiang was fine and went out as usual, with nothing unusual.
When Ye Shu heard this, the smile on her face immediately fell.
She asked in disbelief:
"Is there really nothing unusual? None of Xiao Hechuan and the Xiao family reacted?"
She obviously didn't believe it.
Ru Xing nodded:
"Yes, Miss. Everyone in the Xiao family is still doing what they should do as usual. The person hired by the maid named Yue'er was irresponsible. She just threw Madam Jiang in the beggars' den and left. It seems that someone saw them and reported them to the authorities. The beggars were afraid and did not do anything to Madam Jiang."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shu's face became so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.
"Go and get Fern to me!"
Good man, looking at Ye Shu's expression, the maid named Fen'er is probably in trouble, but who can be blamed? She has ambition but no ability.
When Fen'er was called over, she thought that she had done something great and that the master was going to reward her. She thought that she would no longer be a low-ranking maid doing rough work, but a first-class maid. In the entire Ye Mansion, besides the master, the young lady was the most powerful. As a first-class maid in the young lady's room, wouldn't she be very powerful in the future?
When she left, she had a smug smile on her face and threw the broom in her hand to the ground, as if she had finally made it.
She even ignored Ruyue who came to call her.
Ruyue just thought she was a clown and didn't bother to argue with her. Who knows who will be laughing at whom in the end.
When he arrived in front of Ye Shu, Ye Shu had a blank expression on her face, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Fener knelt down before her and kowtowed to her happily.
"Miss, Fen'er must learn the rules from Sister Ruxing and Sister Ruyue in the future."
She can't even read people's expressions, and yet she wants to be a first-class maid. It's really a joke.
"You should learn some good manners. Let me ask you, did you follow my instructions to spend the three hundred taels of silver I gave you?"
Speaking of the three hundred taels of silver, Fen'er's face showed a trace of guilt, but she still stiffened her neck and answered:
"Everything has been packed out according to the young lady's instructions."
"But you made me lose three hundred taels in vain, and the thing was not done. I promised you that I would bring you to my room to serve me after the thing was done, but now it's not done, how do you think I should punish you?" Ye Shu's tone was very calm, but the more so, the more it showed that she was in a very bad mood right now, on the eve of a storm.
Upon hearing this, Fen'er was shocked. She was kneeling upright, but suddenly she collapsed, with a look of disbelief on her face:
"Impossible! They clearly told me that it would be done!"
"But the problem is, the job was not done, and you made me lose three hundred taels. Now I am very angry. How do you think I should punish you to make me calm down?"
Ye Shu's methods of torturing her servants are endless. Among all the servants who displease her, how many have not been punished by her?
Fen'er was so scared that she begged for mercy:
"Miss, please calm down. I am willing to make amends for my mistake. Please give me another chance!"
"Give you another chance? Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Miss, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result this time. Please give me another chance, I beg you!" Fener kowtowed continuously until her head turned red.
But Ye Shu's temper is not so easy to fool:
"Hold her tight, don't hurt her face, or she won't be able to sell for a high price. I have to make up for my three hundred taels."
When Fen'er heard this, before Ruxing and Ruyue came to pull her back, she stopped kowtowing and looked at Ye Shu cautiously:
"What do you mean, young lady?"
Ye Shu raised her eyebrows and sneered:
"You'll know what I mean in a moment!"
"Go contact the madam of Ningxiang Pavilion and tell her that there is a prostitute to sell to her. The price is negotiable, just don't let her be less than three hundred taels. The only requirement is that you don't let her sit idle!"
Ye Shu’s heart was indeed vicious. With just one sentence, she sent Fen’er to hell.
Ruxing and Ruyue looked at Fen'er with sympathy. Tell me, what's wrong with being a little maid? Why does she have to seek death? Why does she have to mess with the big devil Ye Shu? Isn't this asking for trouble?
He called two servants in and pulled Fener out.
Fen'er continued to struggle, her face pale with fear:
"Miss, please forgive me. Miss, I know I was wrong. Please don't sell me out!"
Once Ye Shu makes a decision, it is hard to take it back. She is heartless and doesn't know what it means to be soft-hearted.
Seeing that Ye Shu was indifferent and was still drinking tea leisurely, Fen'er turned her gaze to the sisters Ruxing and Ruyue:
"Sister Ruxing, Sister Ruyue, please save me, please save me!"
Ruyue thought about how she had just given her the cold shoulder and thought to herself that she deserved it. If she had known this would happen, why did she do it in the first place?
They have been with Ye Shu for a long time and have developed a heart of stone.
In the end, Fener couldn't escape the fate of being sold to Ningxiang Pavilion for five hundred taels of silver!
