"Young Miss, I...I...I..." Gao Pan'er's face showed panic, her voice trembled, and she looked pitiful.
"Aunt Gao, look what you've done! You're really something, look what you've done to the young lady!" Du Juan said angrily while serving Mo Qian water.
“Miss, Aunt Gao didn’t mean it. Aunt Gao was so happy when she heard that you wanted to eat her cooking. She went to the kitchen early to make your favorite dishes. Please calm down and forgive Aunt Gao.”
Seeing the scene before her, Qingyan was afraid of being implicated, so she hurriedly pleaded with the young lady. After all, if Aunt Gao was punished, she, as a maid, probably wouldn't have a good life either. Thinking of this, her voice was filled with anxiety.
"Since Aunt Gao made all of this, let her finish this plate of twice-cooked pork. Let her taste her own delicious cooking! I'm sure Aunt Gao won't refuse the filial piety of her juniors."
Mo Qian pointed to the very salty dish she had just tasted and said to Gao Pan'er.
"Dad will be very happy to see how filial I am."
"After all, Father always hoped that our family could live in harmony. When Father comes back, I will definitely tell him that Aunt Gao is so good to me and even cooks for me."
"I don't think Aunt Gao would disagree, right? I'm so filial, Aunt Gao definitely won't refuse, will she?" Mo Qiancha said to Gao Pan'er in a teasing tone.
"I..." Gao Pan'er was about to be forced to eat, and judging from Mo Qian's reaction earlier, she could imagine that the food was probably so salty it would make people vomit! She wanted to refuse, but the word "no" was just muttering in her mouth and about to come out.
At this moment, Mo Qian's face turned cold. "Aunt Gao, what do you want to say?"
"You want to eat it, right? Hmm, you don't want to let me down and want to thank me? No need to say anything, I know."
After Mo Qian made a noise, the four maids who were waiting outside the door came into the room. At Mo Qian's signal, they stared intently at Aunt Gao and slowly moved toward her.
"I'll eat!" Gao Pan'er looked at the maids coming in her direction, her heart filled with rage and she was furious, but she knew that she couldn't get away with it in this situation and couldn't refuse!
If you refuse, you might be forced to drink it as the maids slowly approach!
He could only reluctantly agree.
As Gao Pan'er finished speaking, the maids who had been walking towards her stopped and slowly backed away, waiting to the side.
"Dujuan, you stay here and serve her." Mo Qian gave Dujuan a look, signaling her to keep an eye on Aunt Gao, eat the food, and not try to fool her.
After all, it's really worrying to leave someone unattended. It's not impossible that someone might just find a maid or Gao Pan'er's own maid, Qingyan, and use coercion or bribery to make someone eat for her.
"Yes, Miss," Du Juan replied, her voice carrying a hint of schadenfreude.
Mo Qian then returned to her inner room with peace of mind, lay on the rocking chair, and waited for the red date and white fungus porridge that she had just asked someone to make.
I must say, the room was warm and cozy with the smokeless ebony charcoal burning inside, making it extremely comfortable.
"Aunt Gao, please." Du Juan watched the young lady enter the inner room, then turned to Gao Pan'er with a serious expression and said.
Qingyan helped Gao Pan'er sit down, mindful of the occasion, and dared not speak her anger to Du Juan, though her face showed resentment.
Gao Pan'er looked at the dishes in front of her, feeling disgusted, but she had no choice but to pick them up.
He picked up a piece of meat, put it to his lips, but hesitated to put it in his mouth, his hand trembling slightly.
"Aunt Gao, eat quickly, don't dawdle, be careful not to waste food."
When Du Juan saw Gao Pan'er pick up a piece of meat, it trembled a couple of times, barely managing not to drop it. She quickly found a bowl on the table and handed it to Gao Pan'er to catch it. To prevent the food from being too close to the edge of the table and easily swept away, she deliberately pushed it further in.
That's good, no need to worry about Gao Pan'er trying to renege on her promise!
"Dujuan, don't bully people too much!" Qingyan watched Dujuan's series of actions, held back for a moment, but couldn't help but whisper angrily.
"I'm doing this for Aunt Gao's own good. Such good meat is being wasted. Aunt Gao must be so upset at night that she can't sleep. Everyone knows that our Aunt Gao is the one who pities the poor the most. Giving this meat to them will at least give those who haven't had meat in a year or two a little something to eat," Du Juan said unhurriedly.
Gao Pan'er's eyebrows twitched, and she resignedly stuffed the meat into her mouth.
Although I was mentally prepared that it would be very salty, it was still far more salty than I expected, and I couldn't help but vomit. I picked up the water on the table and poured it into my mouth.
"Oh, Aunt Gao, how could you do this? Do you know how long it takes for people in the countryside to eat? How could you waste food? Just because we're living well now doesn't mean we shouldn't cherish food."
"Everyone says that Aunt Gao is a famously kind person who feels the most sorry for those who suffer. If others knew that Aunt Gao usually wastes food like this, I wonder what outsiders would think!"
"I choked by accident just now." Gao Pan'er understood the implication in Du Juan's words and felt annoyed, but she still had to eat, her face half blue and half purple.
Afterwards, Gao Pan'er ate a bite of food and drank three sips of water with her tea, and it took her two whole hours to finish the dish!
After eating, my face turned as black as Bao Gong's!
Besides the plate of twice-cooked pork, Mo Qian had the kitchen staff salvage the remaining dishes and feed them to the servants. After all, the dishes were clean, and serving chopsticks were used, so they couldn't be wasted.
For the next two months, Mo Qian kept finding ways to torment Gao Pan'er, making her wash her clothes by hand, cook for her, and so on. If she ruined the clothes, she had to pay for three new ones. If she didn't cook the food well, she had to eat it all herself!
Treat her like a maid, sending her to buy pastries in the south of town, roast duck in the east, and trendy jewelry in the north… never letting her stop, her life never ends, she keeps causing trouble, causing trouble for others while enjoying herself! Hahaha.
Take advantage of this time to get things done quickly, because it won't be convenient to do it yourself in two months.
Previously, Gao Pan'er was punished by being forced to write a 10,000-word confession. Unexpectedly, instead of learning her lesson, she deliberately sought to suffer by having someone else write it for her.
Well, I guess I'll just have to go all the way and be a good person. If she wants to suffer, I'll just give in to her. I'll add another punishment: copying the Tao Te Ching three times! To cool down, hahaha.
Just thinking about Gao Pan'er's face back then, reddish-green and purple-tinged, it was like a spilled palette of colors, so beautiful, haha.
During this time, Gao Pan'er has not had time to take care of those beggars. They must miss Gao Pan'er very much.
Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Mo Qian looked on with a smug expression.
