Chapter 9 Complaint
“Are all people reliable?”
"My cousin bought them all. Their deeds of sale are all here. Some of them have married into other families. I know where their families are and have told them. If they behave well, I will let them reunite with their families."
It seems that these old women were sold out because they made mistakes in their families, so their families were separated. Their current wish is to reunite as a family.
With this bargaining chip, Feng Ying felt that these people would be obedient.
She asked Mrs. Zhuang to settle these people down, and then picked out two shorter ones who looked stronger to take them to the main courtyard.
As Mrs. Zhuang was selecting people, she asked, "Is it the old lady who is asking about A Jian's matter? Can you help us find the murderer?"
Feng Ying sneered.
In the past, she would have thought that Mrs. Li called her because of Ah Jian's matter. But now, when she recalled carefully, it seemed that apart from asking for money, the old lady never remembered her.
This time, I don’t know what kind of money he is asking for in A Jian’s name.
Anyway, she will not give money to the Li family anymore.
Feng Ying had made all the arrangements and took Li Jidao's hand to the main courtyard.
Li Jidao had just performed a small reincarnation of the Pure Heart Bodhi, and did not feel any major changes in her body, except that her ears seemed to be more sensitive than before. She wanted to continue practicing, but was dragged away by someone.
Then go ahead.
Her steps were still mechanical and slow, one step at a time.
Feng Ying was very patient and stayed with her all the time.
It took them almost half an hour to walk just a few steps.
When they arrived at the gate of the old lady's courtyard, it was already dark, but the servant saw Li Jidao and still stopped Feng Ying: "Madam, the old lady is afraid of Madam A Jian, have you forgotten?"
Old Mrs. Li disliked Ajian's ugly appearance and never saw her.
This is Jian's first time here.
Feng Ying wanted to say that A Jian was well again, her face wasn't weird anymore, and she was a great beauty, but no one believed her.
It was impossible for Feng Ying to hand Ah Jian over to anyone else.
After thinking for a while, he tied a handkerchief on Li Jidao's face, leaving only her two eyes exposed and her face completely covered.
Then he took Li Jidao in.
Old Mrs. Li was talking to the maids about how to make sweet syrup. When she turned around, she saw a little girl with a veil standing beside Feng Ying.
Although her appearance cannot be seen, her eyes that are exposed are extremely beautiful.
She knew at once that it was that fool.
But everyone in the family knew that the idiot had facial paralysis, upturned corners of his mouth, and an ugly appearance.
With her lower body covered and only her face showing, she looks like a stunning beauty.
Too bad she isn't.
Since her face was covered, Mrs. Li no longer targeted Li Jidao. She looked at Feng Ying with a rare good attitude: "The third family is here? Please sit down."
Li Jidao just looked at Old Lady Li and then looked away.
[This old lady clearly had a lowly fate, how did she become the mistress of the mansion? She changed her fate.]
Feng Ying: ? ?
Two girls came in at this time. Li Jidao was even more surprised: [They are not destined to be rich and powerful, but their fates have all been changed. How could this happen? Who has such great ability to change the fate of an entire family? ]
Feng Ying: ? ?
The girls who came in were none other than the fourth young lady from the first wife's house, and the fifth young lady from the second wife's house.
Have they all changed their fate?
Li Jidao seemed to have thought of something: [Not all of their fates have been changed. Their fates have not been touched by anyone.]
Li Jidao looked at the three people again, very slowly.
[Then why do they feel that they own something that does not belong to them? ]
Feng Ying pricked up his ears. Yes, why?
Li Jidao thought of a possibility: [Fuck, fuck, I get it. Old Madam Li is their grandmother. Old Madam Li changed her fate, and so did all of them. There is only one possibility...]
Feng Ying: “…”
What is it? Tell me now, she wants to hear it.
Li Jidao shook his head secretly; [Old Madam Li is not the main wife of the Li family. The main wife must have been replaced by her.]
Feng Ying: “!!”
What does it mean, the mother-in-law is fake?
But her mother-in-law was like this when she got married, who could pretend to be her? It's been more than ten years.
Who was the person being impersonated, and where is he now?
A Jian didn't say anything, Feng Ying became a little anxious.
Old Lady Li saw Feng Ying staring at the fool and was very dissatisfied: "Feng!"
She coughed. Isn't she prettier than a fool?
"I asked you to come..."
[Take the initiative and blame Jin Bao] Li Jidao was a little anxious, otherwise they would lose the initiative.
Before Mrs. Li finished her words, Feng Ying suddenly admitted her fault: "Don't be angry, mother. I will come earlier next time. I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time."
Old Mrs. Li:?
Sanniang and Siniang:?
Mrs. Li has always been kind and generous, so how could she be so mean in public? She was shocked and said, "When did I say I would punish you? Yes, you came too late, but I didn't say anything to you."
"It's Bao Jin!" Feng Ying pointed at Bao Jin behind Old Lady Li and said, "She told me not to dawdle. If I delay, you will punish me, but it has nothing to do with her."
"Doesn't this mean that I'm late and you want to punish me? Everyone knows that she is your confidant and what she conveyed is what you meant."
Old Mrs. Li: “…”
Third Lady and Fourth Lady: “…”
Bao Jin: “…”
She, she is complaining, right?
Li Ji said: [Not that stupid yet.]
Feng Ying: ...It’s all thanks to your good teaching.
In fact, from Feng Ying's words, Mrs. Li could tell that Feng Ying was not lying. Bao Jin was the head maidservant by her side, and she knew that Feng Ying looked down on her, so she followed her example.
Bao Jin was also domineering. She could even imagine the tone and look of Bao Jin when he threatened the Feng family.
If it were in the past, she would definitely think Feng Ying deserved it.
Still let her make the decision? She didn't let Bao Jin slap her because she was taking care of her.
Now...
She wanted Feng Ying to pay, but she was afraid that Feng Ying would be angry and refuse to pay if she did not punish the maid.
He scolded Bao Jin, "You dog slave who relies on the power of others, who told you to threaten my wife?"
Bao Jin has always been spoiled, and no one has ever said a harsh word to Old Lady Li. But today the old lady actually scolded her. Others will definitely laugh at her and maybe even add insult to injury.
She was a first-class maid by the old lady's side, and was envied by many people. If that were true, they would laugh at her to death.
She doesn't need to live anymore.
"Ma'am, I, I didn't mean that."
"You mean you really said it? Twenty slaps on the face." Old Mrs. Li glared at him, looking very stern.
Feng Ying felt relieved and did not plead for Bao Jin.
Old Mrs. Li had no more steps to go down, so she asked two maids to come over and beat Bao Jin.
The two old women each grabbed Bao Jin's arm, and before they could hit her, Bao Jin shrank her eyes as if in fear, and suddenly stood up, took off her long skirt, revealing her light pink tights underneath, and then ran away.
He ran and laughed at the same time, so fast that the maids in the house couldn't catch up with him. Then someone shouted, "Hurry up and help! Bao Jin is going to jump into the well."
