Less than ten minutes after the maid left, a noise suddenly came from outside.
Rong Shang was still in the small house. She listened to the screams coming from both men and women, and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Is this a pig being slaughtered late at night?
The strange phenomena outside, combined with what Fu Jingchen had said in the afternoon, made Rong Shang narrow her eyes slightly, her shimmering eyes revealing a hint of profound meaning.
...
At night, a bright full moon hangs high in the sky above the courtyard.
In the Mingyue Pavilion of the Fu residence, dozens of servants lined up, each taking one beating, ten strokes of the cane per person.
It is said that this was an order given by Fu Jingchen.
When Rong Shang used the system to locate the place and quietly rushed over, a maid was staggering and crying as she ran out of the antique, high-class, and stylish house in front of her.
"Next."
An old man's slightly weathered voice came from inside. Rong Shang leaned against the door and walked closer to take a look. In the brightly lit room, which was lit by more than a dozen red candles, a group of people of varying heights stood in a row, making it look a bit crowded.
After an elderly man, who was clearly twenty or thirty years older than these people, finished speaking, another maid stepped forward. Without saying a word, the tall and burly man next to the old man swung the wooden stick in his hand and whipped the maid's legs ten times.
The process was clearly somewhat bloody, and Rong Chang raised an eyebrow.
A few seconds later, when another maid ran out crying, Rong Shang slightly turned her body to avoid the other's gaze.
But to her surprise, she was discovered the next second.
"Hey you at the door, come out!"
A sinister voice came from behind the screen in the room, and everyone in the room froze.
Rong Shang then realized that there was another person sitting behind the screen.
Upon hearing that voice, Rong Shang raised an eyebrow slightly.
That voice sounds familiar.
But who else but Fu Jingchen would dare to openly punish so many servants here?
Fu Jingchen wasn't afraid. She moved her foot, and when Rong Shang appeared at the door, everyone in the room looked over in surprise.
She still couldn't see the person behind the screen, but the old man in the room frowned when he saw her.
"Who are you? And what brings you here?"
As the steward of the Fu residence, Lao Luo had the responsibility to identify all the people in the mansion in order to prevent uninvited people from sneaking into the house.
The woman in front of him was so beautiful, clearly a rich man's daughter, but Lao Luo said he had never seen her before.
When Rong Shang was brought here by Fu Jingchen this morning, not many people saw her. In addition, she was wearing a realistic ugly makeup at the time.
If she wants others to know who she is, there is no other way but to give her her name.
In front of outsiders, Rong Shang plays the role of the original owner of the body.
She smiled gently and said, "Grandpa, my name is Mu Yunshu. Fourth Master brought me back."
Mu Yunshu...
Upon hearing this name, Rong Shang felt the atmosphere in the room instantly drop.
Some people even looked at her strangely.
Puzzled, Rong Shang continued to smile, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Realizing what had happened, Lao Luo looked at Rong Shang and returned a polite smile. "Miss Mu."
Although the other party was polite, Rong Chang could tell that the old man did not have a very good impression of her.
She had no idea how she had offended these people on her very first day there, when she had never met them before.
It wasn't until a maidservant, after being flogged, walked past her that she overheard the woman muttering indignantly:
No wonder the Fourth Master brought a woman back for the first time; she had a fox-like face.
