Volume 1: Yun Family Has a Daughter Chapter 30: Punishing the Malicious Servant (Part 1)
Mo Mo guessed that if the mastermind behind the scenes was not Old Lady and Li Niang, it must be another woman from the backyard.
In Anhe Temple, I didn't ask my mother directly. Firstly, I was afraid of hurting Consort Tong, and secondly, I was afraid of leaking the news and startling the snake! This person could secretly administer contraceptive medicine for a long time without anyone noticing, who knows if they have already planted a mole by my mother's side! The most frightening thing is that if we alarm the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be even harder to catch them.
"Misty, what do you need me to do?"
Carefree for a moment, she knew that things might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface! She wasn't inexperienced after all! Thinking of past events, a chill suddenly emanated from within.
"Don't worry, I can only entrust this matter to you!"
Misty looked at Worry-free with gratitude, although this guy was always cold as ice, but she knew that he was genuinely good to her.
They lowered their heads in tacit understanding and began whispering to each other. After a while, they looked up, just as the sound of knocking on the door came from outside.
Worry-free opened the door, but saw a blue-green thief coming in, greeting Worry-free with a smile, seeing Worry-free didn't even look at her, she smiled awkwardly and bowed to Momo before speaking non-stop:
"Miss, you don't know how miserable Li's wife was this time. She was beaten until she was covered in blood, her skin torn and bruised. No one went to call a doctor even after being called for half a day. It wasn't until the second missus found out that someone was sent to fetch one. The second missus' hand was also badly hurt, swollen to the size of an egg. I reckon it won't heal in ten days or half a month! Ah, still, the mistress has a kind heart. Even though the second missus made a mistake, she still sent over such good medicine..."
"Alright! You've been here for half a day just to say these words? I already know everything, if there's nothing else, you can leave first!"
Mo saw her showing signs of continuing and interrupted her impatiently.
"Oh, forgive me, miss! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Bìlán originally thought that this young lady would be delighted to hear about her rival's misfortune, but unexpectedly provoked the young lady instead, and hastily continued:
"Old Master just went to the guest house in a rage, scolding Auntie and the others severely, and ordered Auntie to set off back to Lin'an the day after tomorrow! Then he went to Fenghe Yard, scolded Li Dajie for a while, and instructed that without permission, Li Dajie was not allowed to take half a step out of Fenghe Yard! Later, he went to Taihe Yard, visited Old Madam, but had a fierce argument with her!"
Mo Mo felt even more affectionate towards Lao Die after hearing Bi Lan's words, and her feelings for him surged upwards! Although she knew that Lao Die wouldn't blame her, she didn't expect that he would still help them out, but in his heart, he must still be feeling very hurt!
It's getting hotter and hotter now, too much fire is not good, bad mood is even worse. Let me go cook some delicious dishes for my dad in a while!
Let's put those annoying things aside for now and comfort Dad first!
Before lunch, Mo came to the large kitchen. The master of the house was not many, so a large kitchen was set up. Except for the old lady's courtyard with a small kitchen, other courtyards did not have one. Therefore, at every meal time, each courtyard would send someone to pick it up!
But what's going on in this kitchen right now?
"Hmph, just a concubine, how precious can she be? Picking and choosing while eating! If you want it, take it. If not, I won't give it to you again!"
A group of people gathered at the kitchen door, a big pancake face, a round barrel waist, looked like a bossy wife with her hands on her hips, shouting at the door, the more arrogant the better, when she spoke, the horizontal meat on her face trembled, and saliva splashed far away.
"Former housekeeper, how can you be like this? At the very least, the madam is half a master, not to mention there's also Third Miss, a proper master, how can they eat such meals?"
A young maid in a green dress was so angry that her face turned red and she said with indignation.
"What's the point of being a half-master? Not favored, yet thinking she's the master? Can't get Old Master's approval, can't enter Old Madam's eyes, what kind of master is she? Third Miss? Bah! A money-losing good-for-nothing!"
Yuanguan Shi looked at the green-clad maid with disdain and spat at her.
The maids and servant girls around did not make a sound, just standing aside watching the commotion with an air of "none of my business", occasionally bursting out in one or two snickers.
The maid in green was so angry that her eyes turned red and her eyeballs were rolling around as if they were about to pop out.
"In your eyes, Third Miss is a money-losing goods, then what am I?"
Mo Mo couldn't bear it anymore, slowly walked over, stared at Yuan Guan Shi and said coldly.
I didn't expect that this small kitchen would be so arrogant! That Sanmei Yunyao, I've met her before, and my impression is that she's quite timid, unlike Yunyue who has a hypocritical timidity.
"What are you again... Ah, you're the young lady?"
The original manager saw that someone dared to interrupt, and she, who had always been domineering, thought it was meddling in other people's business. However, seeing that the person called herself "Miss" and noticing her extraordinary demeanor, she realized that this might be a young lady she hadn't met before. She immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, but this haughty attitude clearly didn't put her in her place.
"How dare you! I'm asking you a question and you don't even answer, instead you dare to ask me back? How many guts do you have?"
Glaring at her with anger in his eyes, what courtesy could be shown to this shrew?
"Miss, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, Miss!"
Yuanguan saw Mu Mu was already angry, lowered his head, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart.
Today, the news of Miss Big Sister beating Li Niang and Second Miss has already spread throughout the mansion. Unexpectedly, she was caught in her mistake. However, thinking that she is Old Madame's person, Miss Big Sister didn't dare to really punish her. Then, thinking that just now Miss Big Sister made herself lose face, she lifted her head again and stared straight at Mo Mo, saying:
"The old slave hasn't seen the young mistress before, so she hastily asked! However, this kitchen isn't a place for the young mistress to come to. The old madam has ordered the old slave to take charge of the large kitchen. The young mistress is delicate and precious, if anything goes wrong, the old slave won't be able to bear it!"
"Are you driving me away?"
She was furious and laughed back, she opened her mouth without forgetting Mrs. Lao, this is threatening her, thinking that she didn't dare to do anything to her?
It has to be said that this yuan guan shi is extremely foolish. If Momo was really afraid of Old Madam, she wouldn't have dared to poison her own nephew in front of her, and yet she still dared to hit Li Yiniang with a board in the Taihe courtyard.
