In fact, these are not big things, and the three elders did not let them harm anyone, they just asked them to keep an eye on the news in the house, so they obeyed the three elders. But why did the maid in front of them do this? She should be in
The Second Madam has been with her for many years, and if she had always stayed by her side, she would not have been reduced to a handyman.
Seeing that the other two servants seemed to know that he had done something wrong, A Lan lowered his head and was too frightened to speak, so he did not continue to ask them. So, he wanted to ask the maid, what did she do to be threatened by the three elders?
He turned his head, looked at the maid, and asked in a low voice: "What about you? Do you have something to hide?"
The maid hesitated a little, but when she saw that A Lan was waiting for her to respond, she had no choice but to say: "Master, the eldest master has planned to take me as his concubine since he met me in the mansion last time. But I am just a servant, and the most I can do is give
The eldest young master is the first wife. The eldest young master feels sorry for me and hopes that I can do something. If I have merit, even if the eldest young master takes a concubine, the young lady will not dare to say anything."
"Is this what the Great Elder told you?" Alan asked.
"Young Master, this is what I said. About two or three years ago, the First Elder told me after he visited Leng Mansion as a guest." The maid said.
"In the past two or three years, if the eldest young master planned to marry you as a concubine, he would have already mentioned it to me. However, not only has he never mentioned this matter, do you know that he has already married three concubines?
Alone?" Alan said.
"It's impossible. The great elder once said that I have actually mentioned this matter to my wife a long time ago, but my wife won't let him go, so I can only stay in the Leng family." The maid said.
"The First Elder lied to you. You are the maid next to the Second Madam. If the First Elder told me about this, I will definitely ask you if you are willing to marry her. If you are willing, the Leng family will never treat you badly.
You also know that the second lady doesn't like servants to serve her closely. Even if you get married, you won't have servants to serve her. After so many years, don't you have any doubts?" A Lan asked.
The maid said: "The Great Elder told me that it was Madam's intention. Naturally, I didn't dare to refute. I wanted to ask Madam but I didn't dare to speak. Moreover, the Great Elder promised me before that after this matter is settled, he will definitely let me
Get married."
"If things are really done this time, you might even lose your life." A Lan said.
"Could the great elder kill people and silence them?" the maid asked in panic.
Of course, after A-Lan finished speaking, even the two servants next to the maid looked at A-Lan in panic.
"Do you think the Great Elder wouldn't do this? He plotted against the clan leader's direct grandson before and then killed one of them. Because he was worried that the matter would be exposed. You know his secret, how could he leave you behind?"
Lan said.
"I didn't expect that the Great Elder would actually do this, that he would lie to me." The maid said regretfully.
"Did you send the message after the clan leader woke up?" A Lan asked.
The other two people shook their heads, and the maid whispered: "It's me. Since the second lady moved into the backyard, she doesn't need my service anymore. I am very free on weekdays, so I secretly go to the small kitchen to inquire about the news. I heard the people in the kitchen say
The clan leader had already woken up and immediately rushed to tell the great elder. Young Master, I deserve death. I should not have listened to the great elder’s temptation to find out information for him. Please punish me, young master.”
"Master, please punish me." The other two people followed.
In fact, A-Lan also knew that the other two were threatened, so she had no choice but to do this. But why did the maid trust the elder so wholeheartedly? Even if she could marry into the elder's mansion, she would only be a concubine. How could she say she was the second wife?
Even if the lady's maid wants to get married, she has no problem marrying to a merchant and becoming the wife, so why does she insist on squeezing into the elder's mansion?
"Do you know that you are the eldest girl of the Leng family. With the Leng family's status in the capital, if you want a family, it will not be a problem even if you are married to a merchant and become the wife. Why do you have to compromise yourself?
I will be my concubine in the Elder’s Mansion." A Lan said.
After hearing this, the maid knew that she was ignorant and lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She could not speak at all around the second lady. It was impossible to expect the second lady to marry her. Therefore, when the elder told her, she
That's why I had such a thought.
The three of them were uneasy, worried that the young master would kick them out. They still had people to support at home, so what could they do after leaving Leng Mansion?
Now that I think about it, I am really stupid. The young master never made things difficult for them in the Leng Mansion. Why would they do this? If something happened back then, if they were willing to tell the young master, things would definitely not be like this.
They knew that even if the young master kicked them out, it was his own fault.
"Master, we know we were wrong, please punish us." The three of them said in unison.
They knew they had done something wrong, and no matter how the young master punished him, they did not dare to complain.
A-Lan sighed and asked the housekeeper to take them down. The three of them were uneasy because they didn't know where A-Lan would let the housekeeper take them.
After thanking A Lan, the three of them followed the housekeeper and left the yard.
The housekeeper asked the three people to pack their things. The three people knew that the young master might want to drive them away, but it was true that they had done something wrong and they did not even dare to plead with them. After packing their things, they followed the housekeeper out of the door.
A carriage was ready and waiting outside the gate. The steward said to them: "You go to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days. When the matter is over, the young master will naturally take you back."
"Butler, isn't the young master going to leave with us?" one of the servants said.
"You are lucky. Not only did the young master not blame you, but he was also worried that you would be retaliated by the three elders, so he specially asked someone to send you to Zhuangzi. You can reflect carefully on Zhuangzi, and I hope you can really realize what you have done.
That's wrong." The steward said.
"yes."
After the three people got on the carriage, the driver drove the carriage and set off.
After arranging everything, the housekeeper returned to Leng's house.
"Master, aren't you worried that the three of them will go back to join the elders?" the steward said.
"This is a good opportunity to test them and see if they really know that they are wrong. If they defect to the elders, then I don't have to let them go because they are old people in the mansion.
." A Lan said.
The housekeeper knows that the young master is kind-hearted. If it were the young masters from other families, how could the three of them be spared? You must know that they are servants of the Leng family, but they betrayed the Leng family for their own selfish desires and told the news about the Leng family.
Outsiders. Moreover, the three elders have good intentions and want to catch the young master.
"The young master is kind-hearted and doesn't want to argue with them," the steward said.
"Have the arrangements been made for father and mother?" Alan asked.
"Go back to the house, young master. It has been packed out a day in advance. The master and his wife can move in at any time. But master, have the master and his wife reconciled?" the housekeeper asked doubtfully.
"They have resolved their misunderstanding in Fengtian Sect and I believe they should be reconciled. However, after the main courtyard is cleaned up, the side courtyard must also be cleaned up. I am worried that my mother will not adapt to living in the main courtyard and will choose to move to the side courtyard.
Stay." Alan said.
"Yes." said the steward.
As soon as the butler finished speaking, a maid came over hurriedly and said to Alan: "Master, please go to the main courtyard to see what the master and his wife are arguing about."
Ah Lan was a little surprised. Ah Feng had told him that the couple lived in harmony with each other in Fengtian Sect. Why did they quarrel when they came back? Could it be that the Leng family's feng shui was not good?
A Lan hurried to the main courtyard and happened to hear her father say: "You have forgiven me, why don't you want to live in the main courtyard?"
Sure enough, because of this, he had guessed early on that his mother would not be used to it when she moved to the main courtyard after living in the side courtyard for more than ten years.
"I'm used to living in a side courtyard. The people who lived in the side courtyard before were pure. I have promised to come back with you. Where will I live differently?" the lady said.
"Then if you go to the side hospital, then I will go too." The master said.
"As the master of the Leng family, how can you live in a side courtyard?" the lady said.
"As the wife of the Leng family, why do you still live in the side courtyard? I know it was my fault before, don't you give me a chance to atone for my sins?" the master said.
Ah Lan knew that arguing like this was not an option, so he entered the yard and said, "Father, mother, why are you arguing again?"
When the lady saw A-Lan coming in, she said, "A-Lan, come here to comment. I just don't want to live in the main courtyard, and your father will be unhappy."
"Alan, don't just listen to your mother. I want to accompany my mother to live in a side hospital, but your mother doesn't agree." The master of the Leng family said quickly.
Ah Lan sighed and said: "Mother, I'm afraid there is no room for you to live in the side courtyard. Master lives here temporarily. He doesn't want to live in the guest room, so I can only keep him in the side courtyard. And Ah Feng is living here every day
When you return home, you know that he is not used to living in another courtyard. The main courtyard has been cleared out. Just live there with peace of mind. If father dares to bully you, I will be the first to refuse."
"But...it's better for me to stay in the guest room, and then I'll stay there after the master leaves." Madam said.
"Mother, now Yueyao lives in the backyard, how can you live in the side courtyard? I know you have long been accustomed to living in the side courtyard, but now the side courtyard really can't accommodate you. I don't think it's better to do this. After the master leaves,
Ah Feng and I have also moved to another courtyard, and you and your father will move to a side courtyard?" Ah Lan persuaded.
"How can your father live in a side courtyard?" the lady said.
"You are the wife of the Leng family. Haven't you also lived in the side hospital for more than ten years? Why can't father live with you? Besides, I think my father is quite willing to live with you in the side hospital. Isn't it father?"
Alan asked.
"Yes, yes, if your mother lives in a side hospital, I will definitely live with her," the master said.
"Mom, why don't you try living in the main courtyard first? If you really don't get used to it, how about moving to the side courtyard with your father?" Alan said.
"You've all said that, what else can I say?" Mrs. Leng's wife said.
"Don't worry, the main courtyard has been tidied up. I specially asked someone to plant your favorite orchid in the courtyard. It will bloom in a few days." Alan said.
"Alan is attentive," the lady said happily.
"There is nothing to clean up in the house. After lunch, I will go to the backyard." The master of the Leng family said.
