Chapter 259: Complaint
"It's not just that. Yesterday at the big market in Fengwei Town, Huang Laizi from Huangjia Village cheated the village chief of Fude out of ten taels of silver. What happened?" an old woman said mysteriously, "Within an hour, he lost half his life. Not only did he lose the silver, he also became mute..."
"Yes, yes. It is said that he used the sick old ox he used to deceive the village chief to kill him, and after that he found a treasure..."
"I've heard about this as well, so I say you can offend anyone but not the Village Lord..."
"That's right, apart from anything else, God will punish you..."
…
Everyone was talking at once, and Mother Wang was shocked as she listened.
I was still a little dazed until the ox cart drove away.
Could it be that this Lord of Fude Village is really not to be offended?
Mother Wang was shocked and suspicious, but Mother Zhang became even angrier.
While rubbing his sore waist, he cursed at the ox cart that was going away.
Mother Wang glanced at Mother Zhang and shook her head secretly.
The Third Young Lady is a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a wealthy family. How could she have such a vulgar wet nurse?
He relies on his master's face to bully others all day long.
If she had not been the Third Young Lady's wet nurse, she would probably have only been fit to be a servant in the Duke of England's mansion.
It really brought shame to Third Young Madam!
"Mom Wang, what should we do now?" Chuncao asked Mom Wang helplessly.
Mother Wang said weakly, "What else can we do? We can only walk back."
After hearing this, Mother Zhang finally shifted her firepower back towards the oxcart and shouted angrily, "Why hasn't Li Wangba come yet? Didn't he say he was going to town to have someone repair the carriage? He's not deliberately delaying and making us suffer, is he? I knew that Li Wangba was not a good person..."
No matter how much Mother Zhang scolded them, without a carriage, they had no choice but to continue walking.
Mother Zhang once again forced Chuntao to take off her shoes and give them to her.
Although she couldn't wear them, wearing them as slippers was better than not wearing shoes at all.
"What kind of bullshit is this? It's all just rumors spread by these stupid country folk. It's just a coincidence. She's just a little girl, how could she possibly have any special abilities..."
As Mother Zhang walked, she continued to slander Xiao Tangbao unconvincedly.
"Ouch!"
I don't know what happened, but I stumbled and fell flat on my face.
Mother Wang, “…”
A helpless sigh.
"Damn little bitch, why don't you help me up quickly?" Mother Zhang scolded Chuntao and Chuncao.
The two girls hated Mother Zhang in their hearts, but they had to reach out to help her.
"Ouch, ouch...slow down...it hurts so much..."
Mother Zhang screamed as she stood up with the help of two maids.
She now has pain in her waist, legs, ankles, and soles of her feet...
In short, I feel pain everywhere.
"I think you two little rascals have bad intentions..."
Mother Zhang vented her anger on the two girls.
"Why does Mom take out all her anger on us? We haven't offended her..." Chuncao said aggrievedly.
Chuntao's eyes were filled with tears. "Mom, you even ruined my shoes, why are you blaming me now?"
"What? I wear your shoes because I think highly of you. Do you feel wronged? I see you..."
"Okay, Mother Zhang, you keep talking and scolding me. Aren't you thirsty?" Mother Wang rubbed her head and said helplessly.
She was not only tired, hungry and thirsty, but also felt powerless.
I really don’t know why Mrs. Zhang is so energetic.
After Mother Wang reminded her, Mother Zhang realized that her throat was almost smoking.
The world is finally quiet.
But reaching the county town was still a long way off.
Chuntao and Chuncao supported Mother Zhang and walked forward with difficulty.
Mother Zhang twisted her ankle and walked with an even greater limp.
Every step I took caused me to grit my teeth in pain and cry out, "Ouch!"
Gradually, I didn’t even have the strength to say “ouch”.
What's even more tragic is that after they finally reached the county town in a disheveled and miserable state, they found that the city gate was closed and they couldn't get in at all.
Mother Wang sat down on the ground, closed her eyes, and had only the strength to breathe.
Although she was just a servant these years, she was also a well-known servant in the Duke of England's mansion.
It is no exaggeration to say that they live a life of luxury.
On weekdays, I did nothing except serving tea, pouring water, and chatting with the old lady to relieve her boredom.
Today's ordeal almost cost her half her life.
Mother Zhang was now as weak as a frost-bitten eggplant. She simply collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
The same was true for the two maids Chuntao and Chuncao.
Several people huddled together by the city wall all night.
The next day, as soon as the city gates were opened, they immediately entered the city like fleeing refugees, attracting onlookers along the way.
In the inn, the old lady leaned on the bed, reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of lotus seed and white fungus porridge, and then asked someone to take away the breakfast.
Ziyun walked in from outside. The old lady's eyes lit up, she sat up straight, and asked hurriedly, "Is Jin'er awake?"
Ziyun shook his head cautiously.
The light in the old lady's eyes dimmed, and she leaned back weakly.
Zizhu quickly supported the old lady, leaning her against the pillows behind her, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, old lady, the young master is blessed by heaven and will surely wake up soon."
The old lady glanced at Zizhu indifferently.
Zizhu's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that her lady had broken her leg, but she was fine.
The old lady was probably angry with herself.
The old lady looked at Ziyun and asked, "Has the Wang family not returned yet?"
Ziyun shook her head again and said cautiously, "Not yet. Mother Wang has always been thorough in her work. I'm afraid she's been delayed by something..."
Before Ziyun could finish her words, Madam Li walked in quickly and replied with a strange look on her face, "Madam, Madam Wang and the others are back."
"Let them come in and see me!" The old lady said in a deep voice, "I just went to inform the Su family, but it took a whole day and a night. You are really getting more and more disorganized."
When Mother Li heard what Mrs. La said, her eyes flashed. Without saying anything, she hurried to call Mother Wang and others.
After a while, Chuncao supported Mother Wang, Chuntao supported Mother Zhang, and the few of them entered the old lady's room in a dejected manner.
"Wuwu... Old Madam, please make the decision for me..."
As soon as Mother Zhang entered the room, she knelt down in front of the old lady and cried loudly.
When the old lady saw the miserable appearance of these people, her face changed.
"What's going on?" the old lady asked sternly.
"Old Madam, you don't know that the Su family simply doesn't take our Duke's Mansion seriously..."
Without waiting for Mother Wang to speak, Mother Zhang burst into tears and started to complain.
"Wow... Old Madam, those unruly people not only rejected the marriage proposal, but also beat us out and hurled insults at us... We servants may suffer some injustice, but where is the dignity of our Duke's Mansion? They are trampling our reputation into the mud..."
Mother Zhang cried with three lines of snot and two lines of tears.
The old lady's expression became increasingly grim as she listened.
Anger was high and hands and feet were cold.
If there were someone proficient in medicine here, I'm afraid he would warn...
If the old lady continues like this, she might be about to have a stroke.
