”How dare you! Why did you get fifty silver? Do you think it's not enough?” Xiao Mang received Lance's's gaze and glared at the old woman.
”No …” No, old slave doesn't dare think that it's not enough, it's just that Little Qiao was beaten up by First Lady, and I was unable to get out of bed. Because of her, Father and I lost our job, and now, her Sister-in-law has a grandson who is only a full month old, and a three-year-old granddaughter. Everyone can only count on her brother to drive the carriage outside to earn some silver coins, this … old slave is truly in trouble, if not I would not have dared to provoke Third Wife. ” At this moment, the Gerhardt's was extremely regretful. She should not have let Little Qiao, who was serving in the Aunt Qian's room, do such a foolish thing just for fifty taels of silver. Otherwise, she would not be in such a difficult situation.
”Give them a piece of silver. Remember, this is the last time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude.” Lance's's gaze turned cold, and a layer of ice covered her delicate and beautiful face.
”Yes …” ”Yes, I don't dare to come again.”
”Scram, scram, scram.” Lance's was even annoyed by her now.
When that person left the room, he clapped his hands and called for someone to come over. ”Follow her closely. If there are any movements in the wind or grass, don't be merciful.”
”Yes, ma'am.”
Lance's warned once again, not to let anyone see through this.
”I promise not to let anyone see the problem.”
After being pestered by the Gerhardt's for a while, he immediately wanted to return to his house in the backyard, and before he could even walk to the servants' backyard, he met Sun Jinzi.
She wore an apricot-colored long skirt with wavy patterns at the edge. A beige cape was draped over her body like a canopy, accentuating her curvaceous body.
”Two …” Second Miss. ” Gerhardt's had a guilty conscience, when he saw Sun Jinzi, he couldn't help but straighten his back when he recalled the things his daughter did for him.
Sun Jinzi stepped onto a Tai Hu stone and looked down at her condescendingly. ”Why are you going to Third Wife's courtyard?”
Gerhardt's's heart skipped a beat, she felt her heart beating even faster, and his face turned red.
”old slave, old slave did make some homemade pickled vegetables. According to Third Wife, she wants to eat them, so … I sent some in. ”
”Third Wife is so generous, some of the pickled vegetables are actually worth twenty taels of silver.” Sun Jinzi pointed to the lotus bag in Gerhardt's's arms. The flower patterns on it were Lance's's favorite.
”This is …” ”This is …” Gerhardt's knocked her head against the ground. The cold and stiff marble surface pained her to the point that her knees hurt.
”Say it yourself, I'll do it for you.” Sun Jinzi frowned, and spoke coldly.
Although Gerhardt's did not raise his head, his entire body was trembling in fear because of Sun Jinzi's voice.
”old slave... ”He doesn't know anything.” Gerhardt's still did not dare say.
This was a matter that would kill her, how could she dare to speak carelessly about it?
”Did Little Qiao not go home?” Sun Jinzi suddenly sneered.
”Ah …” This is not a small matter, it is all old slave's fault. Second Miss, please spare her. ” Gerhardt's wanted to protect her daughter.
Sun Jinzi had only been saying that she was going to trick her, but she had never thought that she cared so much about her daughter. She had already decided in her heart, every single sentence was directed at Little Qiao, causing Gerhardt's to choke in fear.
When Sun Jinzi tried to question her again, she had already started to loosen up.
”Second Miss, this old slave was wrong, I don't dare to do it again. This matter was done by old slave alone, it has nothing to do with Little Qiao.” Sun Jinzi squinted her eyes as she looked at Gerhardt's, she did not expect that she would be so much easier to deal with than expected, she had only spoken two sentences, and she was already so afraid.
Gerhardt's opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly held onto his chest and started coughing.
Coughing heavily, there was another person bringing a little girl over. It was the Qian's disease who had invited Sun Jinzi to go and discuss something important with him.
Sun Jinzi could only let Gerhardt's go for the time being and let her bring back her words and a stomach full of worry to the backyard.
When Sun Jinzi led her men to rush to Qian's disease's room, she was told that Aunt Qian had gone out for a walk to admire the flowers.
Sun Jinzi was extremely depressed. She wanted to admire the flowers and lie to the ghosts.
”Oh no, I've fallen into a trap.” Sun Jinzi thought about Gerhardt's who hurriedly walked past him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. There was also the little girl who came to invite her back, she seemed to be very unfamiliar with him.
”Miss, what did we do?” Mu Tan lightly blinked her eyes as she did not understand what was going on.
What else could it be? Even if he knew that he had fallen into a trap, he still had to go back and take a look.
Sun Jinzi could not care so much. Waving her hand, she brought Mu Rong and Mu Tan flying.
Before arriving at the servant's backyard, he could already hear the sounds of clamoring coming from inside.
”Ah …” She … She is such a heartless person, I beg the Third Wife to make the decision for me. ” Little Qiao knelt on the ground and looked at Gerhardt's who was lying on the cold marble floor.
How long had it been since she was lively and showed off her skills in front of her yesterday? Now that she could only stay here for the wrong opportunity, she … After losing his life, he laid lifeless here. The only thing that could be seen was the layers of wrinkles on his face, as if they were valleys and ravines, lying across his face, causing others to feel heartbroken.
