Xiao Tong stared at the fine and fair hands, wishing for nothing more than to hug them everyday, and was grinning from ear to ear.
”Xiao Tong? ”Don't worry, this ointment was prepared by my uncle's wife as backup. I heard it came from a tribute from the Western Regions, and the emperor bestowed some to my uncle's lord. My uncle's wife saw that my lady often came to my hometown, so she prepared a few boxes for my lady to prevent any accidents.”
Chun Yi thought that Xiao Tong had been shocked, but any rich and knowledgeable servants, who had some experience, had all seen this tribute before.
”Oh, oh, I've seen it before in our Marquis's study, but I heard it was bestowed by the Emperor.” Oh, oh, I've seen it before in our Marquis' study, but I heard it was bestowed by the Emperor.
Xiao Tong reached out to take the ointment in her hand, and said: ”The method that Miss taught me is really effective, my hand doesn't hurt anymore now, after I apply some ointment on it, it should be alright.”
After he finished speaking, he sneaked a look at Chun Yi, his heart becoming more and more interested in this straightforward young lady, and fervently hoped that Yang Zixuan could quickly return with a beauty in his arms. In the spring, he hoped that Yang Zixuan would be able to marry Mu Rousang.
”Let me take a look. It really isn't as red and swollen as before. Why don't you take another shower for a while?”
Xiao Tong still wanted to say something, but when Mu Rousang heard the commotion inside, she immediately sent the spring wind out to ask.
”Are your hands better?” Spring, did you find the ointment? Young lady has instructed me, if I am unable to find anything, I can ask the village's doctor to come and have a look, so that I can be at ease. ”
Xiao Tong hurriedly stood up and said: ”There's nothing else. I'm going to rub some medicine on it to send the water over. My family's young master is still waiting for his thirst to be quenched.”
When Chun Yi and Chun Feng saw that his hands were fine, they returned to the kitchen to talk and help Mu Rousang cook. It was only at noon that the two brothers were brought back, and they sat and chatted while eating tea.
Mu Jinzhi thought of how the servant had come in a hurry to find him, and asked: ”Little sister, why did you send someone to find me earlier? And you didn't mention it when I got back. ”
She had just recounted what had happened earlier to him, causing Mu Jinzhi to instantly become angry, and he immediately ordered, ”Go and find Manager Zhang right now.”
”Young master, young lady, this servant has been waiting outside for a long time!” Zhang Fukang hurriedly walked in from outside.
Seeing his guilty face, Mu Rousang became annoyed and said indifferently: ”You are right outside the door, there is no need for me to say anymore!”
Zhang Fukang came to the main hall and knelt down in front of Mu Rousang and his sister, then said angrily: ”Please help me young master, this servant requests you to let go of that woman.”
Hearing that, everyone felt shamelessness, Zhang Fukang's character was really bad, seeing that his wife was in trouble, not only did he not protect her, he even added insult to injury.
Seeing that everyone looked down on him, Zhang Fukang became more anxious and uneasy as he looked at Mu Rousang.
”Why?” In the end, she still asked. If the answer didn't satisfy her, she could only chase them out.
Zhang Fukang was afraid that the Mu Family would send the two of them off, and immediately replied, ”This servant has already been married to her for more than eight years, but has yet to come out.”
He had also seen the cook before, and laughed coldly: ”Now we have to add another thief, this way there will be two out of seven.”
”Young master, young lady, this servant was not aware of this matter before I heard about it. Because this servant was moved by uncle and aunt's advances, I did not dare forget my duty. That woman was always quarreling with me, and in the past few years …” He looked ashamed. ”She moved to another room!”
At this time, Chun Yan returned with a Accounts and said, ”Young Master, Young Miss, we've checked and found that you have lost all of your potential in the courtyard. All these years, there have been chicken, rabbit, lotus seeds, eggs and all sorts of dried goods that amount to more than four hundred taels of silver.”
”What?” 'This bitch, this is what this servant meant when he taught her a lesson. Young master, it doesn't matter if you tied her up for sale or beat her to death, this servant definitely won't complain at all. ”
Zhang Fukang was flustered and exasperated, no wonder she was not willing to share the same room with him. All these years, he had already been full of money, but the amount of silver he had earned in all these years was only a hundred liang.
”Zhang Fukang, you really don't know about this?” Mu Jinzhi stared at him coldly, while Mu Rousang had long since sent people out to investigate quietly.
Zhang Fukang originally had a very good relationship with Fu Kang's wife, but after Fu Kang's wife came here, he slowly moved, and started to dislike Zhang Fukang more.
”Before today, she made a fuss about being separated from me, and I thought that my name would live or die with her, so I did as she said. I waited for young master, for young lady to come home and decide for me.”
Mu Rousang lamented how ignorant she was. Looking at Fu Kang's wife, his delicate and pretty appearance, she never expected his to be so greedy.
