After finishing a table of food, Qi Baoer patted his belly comfortably, and then raised his eyes to look at Butler Qi who was kneeling in front of the table.
Butler Qi has been kneeling here since the meal was prepared, and has been kneeling for more than a full hour.
It's not that Qi Bao'er wanted him to kneel down. Too many things happened today. After Shangqing Guan came back, he immediately entered the palace. After entering the palace, it was one, two, three, four, five. Qi Bao'er was still hungry and had no thoughts at all.
Don't think about other things, just want to have a good meal.
Maybe Qi Bao'er will think of the problem after he's had enough to eat and drink and has enough energy to think about it, but until then...
Butler Qi knew that he had made a big mistake today after seeing the scene in Shouanyuan. Although the princess said she did not blame him, the mistake was still a mistake.
As a servant, you really have to listen to your master's orders, but even if the master doesn't have to wait close by, it doesn't mean that you can stay away and let the master do nothing.
But tonight, Old Man Qi and the others were all so drunk, but none of the servants showed up.
What's worse is that the attendants who are waiting closely for Mr. Qi and others are all personally selected by Butler Qi, and two of them are the ones he brought out when he left the Prince's Mansion.
There is no excuse, he is wrong.
So, there was a scene of praying to the housekeeper and kneeling down to apologize.
It was also when he knelt down that a flash of light passed through Qi Bao'er's mind, and his face gradually turned cold.
While cleaning his hands, he said: "Replace all the attendants around the old man. The unfaithful ones can be sold out at will."
Although the tone was very light, Butler Qi's face turned slightly pale, and the fine sweat on his face was visible to the naked eye.
"yes."
Qi Baoer shook off the water on his hand, took the cloth Qiu Yu presented and wiped it carefully with his fingers one by one.
"Our family doesn't have the fights like those in the capital. Although grandpa and dad were poor before, their wisdom is no worse than the so-called powerful people in the capital. It's just that they didn't get a good pregnancy."
Qi Baoer suddenly turned around and looked at the bowed Butler Qi steadily: "Of course, this is not important. Butler Qi, what I want to tell you is that my family is my Nilin, whoever dares to bully them
The least I can do to humiliate them is to make their lives worse than death.
This is the first time and will only be the last time."
The ground in front of Butler Qi was wet. It was not because of the so-called momentum, but because there was a real invisible force pressing towards him just now, making him unable to move and even breathing became more and more difficult.
Finally, after Qi Baoer's words, the power disappeared, but Butler Qi, who had a chance to breathe, still didn't dare to raise his head, "Old slave, please remember."
Butler Qi has always considered himself a qualified steward and a qualified subordinate. Even if Old Qi and the others were drunk and left unattended, he only felt that it was because he trusted the wrong person.
At this moment, he began to reflect on himself.
Is it really just that I trusted the wrong person?
He is the steward of the princess's mansion, but something like this happened in the mansion, where the slaves bullied the master. Is he really qualified?
Is there something wrong with his own attitude towards the princess' family?
Is it because he has not truly regarded the princess as his master?
Qi Bao'er didn't give him time to think clearly about these issues here, "If it doesn't happen next time, go ahead."
The princess means that she will give him another chance!
"yes."
He stood up on his feet quite awkwardly, bowed again and backed away from the dining room.
When the others disappeared, Qiu Yu spat towards the door bitterly.
Qibaoer: "???"
Qiu Yu didn't notice Qi Bao'er's gaze, and Qi Bao'er didn't care either. She was tired and just wanted to sleep.
Qiu Yu served Bao'er and prayed for her to sleep. She didn't go far when she was pulled aside by Little Coconut who had been waiting there.
Little Coconut is more senior than Qiu Yu, and she is still sullen at this moment, which makes Qiu Yu feel uneasy, "Little Coconut, I, did I do something wrong?"
She had witnessed the master's warning to Butler Qi just now, but the words 'life is worse than death' still echoed in her mind.
Little Coconut was silent for a while before saying, "You shouldn't have been disrespectful to the housekeeper just now."
Qiu Yu: "???He is disrespectful to the master, why do you still speak for him?"
You traitor.
Little Coconut's face became even more disgusting, "I hope the housekeeper is not being disrespectful. It's okay for the master to be angry about today's matter, but we can't."
Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood another meaning of Xiao Ye Ye: "Did something happen to the house while we were entering the palace?"
Little Coconut nodded, "Not long after we left, Housekeeper Qi left the mansion. You also know about Prince Min's mansion. The Lord of Jing'an County ran to the top of the Moon Landing Building and shouted that she wanted to see our master, otherwise she would jump down.
"
"Hiss~" Qiu Yu gasped, "She is sick, isn't she? She dared to climb to the top of the Moon Tower. Is she going to kill the entire Xiao family?
This matter..."
Little Coconut knew what she wanted to ask, "Prince Min arrived in time and dismissed the people around her before she shouted. I pray that the housekeeper will also handle it later and this matter will not spread."
Qiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "That's good, that's good."
Their princess's foundation in Beijing is not stable at all. If her reputation is ruined by the Jing'an County Lord, even though their princess's backing is solid, it will not be good after all.
"Butler Qi rushed to the Moon Landing Tower immediately after learning about this. He had just returned home before we came back."
Not to mention anything else, everything that happened in the house today cannot be blamed on Butler Qi.
He had already understood that the house was covered with colorful silks, which was the order given by the eldest young master. There was no one around the old lady to serve him at night. First, the old lady asked those few to go to dinner, saying that there was no need to wait, and then those few people really
He ran to eat and ignored the old lady and the others.
Usually, the old lady and the others are too talkative, and they all get upset.
Little Coconut also knew that there were many servants in the house who looked down upon the old master and the others, which could be seen from their eyes and occasional indifference.
Qiu Yu gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Master drove all those people away. I think just driving them away would be frivolous."
She didn't dare to think how angry the princess would be at that time. She was so angry when she saw the old man sleeping on the table.
The person the princess cares about most in the whole family is the old man!
Little Coconut didn't speak any more, a sharp light flashed in his eyes on his gloomy face.
-
Old man Qi woke up with a splitting headache. The hangover left him almost unable to hold back the pain.
A strong arm lifted him up from behind. Before he could open his eyes, a warm hard object was placed around his mouth, "Old man, you're awake. Come on, drink some warm water first."
The voice was unfamiliar, but at this time, Old Man Qi was so uncomfortable that he had no time to think about it. His throat felt like it was being burned, so he instinctively opened his mouth to drink water.
After Xiaohai served Old Man Qi to drink water, he immediately moved his position and started massaging Old Man Qi's head.
"Old Master, my wife knows how to massage. It is particularly effective in treating hangovers and headaches. I will rub your head for you."
It really worked. After a quarter of an hour, after feeling relieved, he drank a bowl of hangover soup, praying that the old man finally had the energy to look at the completely unfamiliar Xiao Hai beside the bed.
