"Sir! What are we going to do with these people?" Ming Mo looked at the five river bandits tied up on the deck and asked Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu looked over and found that two of them were slightly injured and three were more seriously injured.
"Stop their bleeding first and wait until the officials arrive!" Gu Chengyu will not take the trouble. He just wants to go home quickly. He will definitely be delayed for several days this time. Gu Wan's wedding is very urgent.
.
Yao Mengxian lived in Lian Xin's house next door. At this time, she had changed her clothes and combed her hair into a bun. Looking at it now, she had regained her composure and calmness.
There were two women and two guards standing in the room. They were all looking at Yao Mengxian who was drinking tea with trepidation.
One of the women in ginger clothes said calmly: "Girl, those river bandits are so fierce. The old slaves are so scared that they don't dare to move around even when they stay in the house. The old slaves didn't even hear the sound!"
Another woman immediately responded: "Yes! Yes! Girl, I didn't hear the sound, how could I know that the girl was frightened?"
Lian Xin sneered when she heard this, and said indignantly: "I said it was for the convenience of serving. When we got on the boat, the girl rented the three rooms next door together. It's right next door. You said you didn't hear it. Who are you trying to coax?
?”
"You're wronged! I really didn't hear you!" The two women immediately shouted that they were wronged. Of course, they couldn't admit it, otherwise they would definitely suffer.
They are slaves and have no money. They stay in the house with their masters. If the Jiang bandits come, they will definitely be in trouble. Who knows if the Jiang bandits have inquired about good news in advance? It is the most unsafe to follow a young master.
What if the third girl pushes them out to block the knife?
Yao Mengxian also knows that her mother-in-law will not admit it even if she is beaten to death. Does she still think that she is the weak person she was before?
She put down the tea bowl and asked slowly: "There are river bandits on the ship. Slaves should be loyal to protect their masters, but you only care about staying in the house. Where does this put me as the master? Do you think I am the master?"
Are you weak and easy to bully?"
As she spoke later, her tone became stern, and the mother-in-law actually saw the aura of a mistress in her.
Yao Mengxian continued: "No matter what, I will always be the master. If you follow me out this time, if something happens to me, do you think you can survive? Besides, I came to Jingyuan Mansion this time to pay my respects.
My grandfather, even though he has become an official, there is still no one in the court. Even the Holy Emperor keeps asking questions from time to time. Do you really think that I have no backer?"
How could Yao Mengxian not understand that the house was full of villains who looked down on her and flattered her? These women were looking at her and had no one to support them, so they became unscrupulous. Although she had taken advantage of it recently and dealt with a few of them.
, but are they afraid of her? Of course not, she is just using her strength to gain strength!
The women also lowered their heads. They were scared before, but now their minds have changed. They can be sent here by the government, isn’t it because they are useless? Those mothers and girls who are proud of themselves, who are not there?
The masters are waiting in front of them? If something happens to the three girls, they will definitely not survive for the sake of the Duke's mansion.
After figuring this out, they finally figured out that they could only follow the third girl for now.
As for the two guards, they are really useless.
"As for you, when you go back, someone will deal with you. As guards, you are so greedy for life and afraid of death. Even my father will not be able to spare you!"
No matter how much her father disliked her, there was no way he would leave such a guard who was greedy for life and fearful of death. The guards in the mansion were all bought and trained when they were young, and they all had bonds of prostitution. The mansion had the right to do anything with these people.
"Third Miss, please Third Miss, please go around the young ones. The young ones won't dare to do it again next time!" The two guards knelt down with a plop. They also knew that their situation was more serious than that of the two women.
Much more.
They originally heard the sound of the gangster pushing the door, but there were so many gangsters outside, so the two of them made a tacit agreement that no one went out. After that, the two of them discussed that if anything happened to the girl, they would chop each other's bodies.
, pretending to be invincible. Anyway, the third girl is not favored in the house. They have tried their best, and the master should not kill them again.
I have to say that they were very naive in their thinking.
"It's not impossible if you want me to put in a good word for you. It's just a matter of time later."
Yao Mengxian was also very tired at this time. She was afraid that these servants would cause trouble because they were afraid of being punished, so she had to comfort them first. It would be better to wait until they arrived at their destination and then deal with them.
The women and the two guards repeatedly promised that they would not dare to do it again next time and that they would do their duty.
After Yao Mengxian waved them off, she asked about the injured Uncle Li, "Mama Gao! How is Uncle Li? Is the injury still serious?"
"Back to the girl! Uncle Li's bleeding has stopped. He is lying on the bed now, but he can't get out of the bed! He feels very guilty. He didn't know that the guard would be so ineffective. If he had known it, he wouldn't have gone outside.
Help!"
Yao Mengxian did not expect that the guard was as timid as a mouse. Uncle Li was from her maternal grandfather's family, and he made a special trip to take her to Jingyuan Mansion this time.
Gao MaMa couldn't help it anymore, "Madam, it's true, when we went out so far away, we only sent two guards, but it was useless. The master actually followed him, is this even a matter of fact?"
Don't you care about your face? You girl shouldn't let these two guards and the mother-in-law go. They behave like this, even if you kill them, it won't be an exaggeration."
Gao MaMa sighed in her heart as she spoke. It is true that if you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather. It is strange that people say that they would rather have a beggar mother than an official father.
Since five years ago, when the first wife died of illness and the master married a second wife, the girl's life has not been as good as before, and her original golden and noble days have gone forever.
The girls who were the direct descendants of the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion actually had to look at the faces of their concubine sisters. Life in the mansion was very difficult, and it goes without saying that the lives of the servants like them who served closely were even more difficult.
Originally, the girl didn't care about the affairs of the house, she had a quiet temperament, and she didn't fight or grab, so she suffered a lot. But after she was pushed into the water by the second girl, she became enlightened and finally knew how to plan for herself.
.
A few years ago, the girl's grandfather sent someone to pick her up, but the girl was afraid that her wife would be unhappy, so she always refused.
Now, I also know to write to contact him. This time I came to Jingyuan Mansion just to see my in-laws.
"Mom, there's no need to be angry! On this ship, we can only appease them first. Even if I want to punish them, I can't. Once I go to my grandfather's place, I'll ask him to send a letter to the government, and then I can deal with these people!"
Encountering Jiang bandits this time, Yao Mengxian was deeply touched by Lian Xin and Gao MaMa's loyal behavior in protecting their master. She lived a miserable life, but they never left her.
