Chapter 126 A Small Misunderstanding
The middle-aged man hesitated to speak, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Only in the presence of friendship can we discuss other things. If we lose the friendship between the two families, we will have no chance to speak.
Upon hearing the noise, several maids approached Chen Chunxing and were actually going to drive their master out of the back hall of the county government office!
Mao Ping naturally wouldn't just stand there and watch, so he quickly greeted them.
The servants guarding nearby rushed in like hungry wolves and surrounded Chen Chunxing.
The more difficult a person's life is, the faster he can find his position.
With the monthly salary given by the county magistrate, let alone teaching a few ignorant maids a lesson, for the sake of Miss Shen, they would beat the group of people from the capital out directly, and they would never back down!
Nanny Chen's face was grim, but she wasn't intimidated. She slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Well, are you determined to go against the Duke's Mansion? You're truly wasting the Duke's kindness! Aren't you afraid that if this gets out, your master will be blamed by the world?"
It seems to be righteous words, but in fact it is an abuse of power to suppress others.
Chen Chunxing covered his lips with his sleeve, pretending to be embarrassed. "This maid doesn't know yet, right? Madam Luo dared to push the master out to protect her life in front of the bandits. It was seen by one or two hundred people! Now, the evil deeds of Madam Luo's murder of the master have spread throughout Honglu County, and the government has also issued a notice..."
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed drastically.
Nanny Chen's eyes were fixed, as if she had never expected the situation to develop to this point.
Luo Jinzhi's grief was gone. She suddenly stood up straight and glared at Chen Chunxing with bloodshot eyes: "How dare you!"
Although she had been locked up in jail these days, she had never really worried about her situation. In Luo Jinzhi's eyes, Xue Yongan was just a poor fellow who was trying to curry favor with the Duke's Mansion. Even if he believed the nonsense of that damn girl and had her locked up, she would never dare to break off relations with the Duke's Mansion.
Who would have thought that he would actually make his crimes public!
It is said that people's words are scary.
Luo Jinzhi trembled all over, fear in her eyes. The Duke's Mansion couldn't afford to lose face. A treacherous servant was bullying his master. It seemed that there was only one way left for her...
really.
The middle-aged man stood up with a sullen face. "Who gave you the courage to do such a thing as betraying your master? Are you trying to stir up internal strife within the Xue family? The Duke's Mansion treats you well!"
Luo Jinzhi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground. Her lips trembled, but she was ultimately unable to defend herself.
It's better for one person to bear the blame than for a whole group to be implicated. If she dares to say something she shouldn't say... the whole family might be implicated.
Nanny Chen also gritted her teeth, slowly sat down on the chair, and acted as if she no longer cared.
"Such a cunning slave should be kept under close watch. Don't let her sneak out again."
Mao Ping was given a warning look by the middle-aged man, and he nodded hurriedly and called two people to take Luo Jinzhi away and send her back to the prison.
No one is a fool.
Chen Chunxing raised the corner of his mouth subtly. Of these two men, one was mean-spirited and had a dark cloud over his head, while the other was smooth-talking and had a murderous look in his eyes.
None of them is easy to get along with.
The Duke's Mansion sent them to deliver New Year gifts, which was by no means a simple matter.
After mixing it up, Chen Chunxing prepared to leave. He bowed politely, with a look of embarrassment and alienation on his face.
"My master will never forget the kindness shown by the Duke's Mansion. Please tell your descendants when you return. When I return to the capital one day, my master will come to thank you in person. As for Madam Luo..."
She chuckled twice: "It's just a small misunderstanding, not worth mentioning."
"I think it was Diao Nu who acted on his own initiative. How could it be related to the Duke's Mansion? Don't worry, the two of you. When the master returns, you will definitely investigate this case and clear the Duke's Mansion's name."
It seems that he wants to see the guest off.
Nanny Chen couldn't help but slammed the table again. Just as she was about to scold, she saw the middle-aged man slightly move his body to block her, so she shut her mouth in fear.
"After all, it's the Duke's Mansion's fault for not exercising strict discipline. We should wait here for Magistrate Xue to return so we can express our apologies in person."
A small misunderstanding...
The words he just said came back to him.
The middle-aged man sighed in his heart.
I have heard for a long time that there is a girl from the Shen family on the road of exile. She behaves differently from ordinary people. After seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is not in vain.
This incident caused...
Even if he was ashamed, he had to stay there shamelessly considering his master's instructions when he came.
The Duke's Mansion can't wait for Xue Yongan to return to the capital!
"In that case, I'll have someone clean up the guest rooms. You don't know how poor Honglu County is. The accountant can't even find a copper, and the master has to pay for it out of his own pocket. Now he can't even take care of his own place. I'm afraid I'm sorry to bother you."
Chen Chunxing gave instructions to Mao Ping in a serious manner, and at the same time, he turned around and complained to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man agreed pretentiously, "This is truly an injustice to my cousin. Fortunately, the Duke anticipated this and ordered us to bring a small gift. I think this will temporarily ease my cousin's worries."
He waved his hand and had someone carry the import box in from the yard.
When I opened it, there was a lot of silver inside.
Chen Chunxing secretly clicked his tongue.
He has silver notes but doesn't use them, insisting on throwing them at people, not even worried about being robbed on the way...
She accepted it without a word, and after having the servants carry all the things into the storeroom, she added, "Remember to ask the cook to make a few more delicious dishes, and don't ask... By the way, may I ask what this person's name is?"
The middle-aged man sneered: "My last name is Chen."
Chen Chunxing nodded and said, "Don't let Manager Chen suffer with me."
Chen He: “…”
Is it allowed to eat or not?
He was thinking about following Maoping away.
When the courtyard was empty, Chen Chunxing beckoned Dong'er over and said, "Go tell the front that someone from the Duke's Mansion is here to interview the master. Tell them to find someone to notify him. Well, let's find the leader of the militia squad. He's quite considerate."
Dong'er agreed.
Chen Chunxing hurried out and instructed Bao'er, who was following behind him, "From tomorrow on, if those people have any requests, you should use the excuse that no one dares to make the decision since the master is away. If they are dissatisfied with food, clothing, housing, or transportation, you should cry poor and let them solve the problem themselves."
Baoer took note and asked hesitantly, "Doesn't the young lady live in the mansion?"
"I can't stay with these cunning people for too long. They'll easily be tricked. I'll discuss everything after the master comes back."
Chen Chunxing was too lazy to deal with these people. It was just a matter of cheating them sooner or later, so he just let them waste time.
——
For three days in a row.
Chen He was getting a little impatient waiting.
He asked someone to inquire and found out that Xue Yongan really went out to work and was not making excuses. No matter how reluctant he was, he had no way to urge him.
But it's really uncomfortable to stay here.
The servants of the Xue Mansion strictly adhere to one principle - the host should follow the guest's wishes!
Whatever you want!
Think the quilt is too thin? Take the person to the warehouse, and if you can find a thick quilt, take it!
The food isn't fragrant enough? That's easy. Just buy the meat and I'll cook it. It's guaranteed to be so delicious that it'll make your tongue sizzle!
"We are all servants. Miss Shen is very kind to give you such treatment. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can feel free to do so. We will not stop you."
Chen He was so angry that he laughed.
My impression of Miss Shen deepened.
He finally became more talkative, but Nanny Chen was holding back her anger for three days. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and shouted for someone to call Chen Chunxing over!
