Chapter 246 Complaint
Chapter 246 Complaint
"Moreover."
Yu Shui looked Xu Fan up and down and continued speaking.
"Since you said that General Gu sent you here, I might as well go to the General's Mansion and ask General Gu for permission. Tell her that we don't need servants here. Ask her to take you back."
Yu Shui was just saying this to scare Xu Fan. He didn't have that much power to influence General Gu's decision. But when Xu Fan heard that he had to ask General Gu for instructions, his face changed immediately.
"How can you be so ungrateful, servant?"
"What's wrong with me being a servant? Since the Gu family provides me with food and drink, I must be responsible to the Gu family. We can't let people with 'unknown origins' sneak in."
The rain also emphasized the words "unknown origin". After all, in his opinion, Xu Fan just appeared out of nowhere.
Seeing the rain was so unbearable, Xu Fan angrily threw his sleeves and left.
Yu Shui watched his back as he left and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning, Wen Shubai asked, "Didn't I just ask you to pick some flowers and put them in the vase? Why did you take so long?"
The flowers in the vase on the table had dried up, so Wen Shubai took them out.
Yu Shui then remembered that she had gone out to pick flowers, and said with some guilt: "Someone knocked on the door just now, and I forgot the task given to me by the master. Please punish me, master."
"Who's coming?" Wen Shubai asked curiously.
"It was a man who claimed to be the young master's cousin, and said he was sent by our general to take care of you."
"Ah."
Wen Shubai crushed the petals of the dried flowers into powder, which fell to the ground. He chuckled.
"Cousin."
"Yes, but I have never heard the young master say that she has a cousin."
"I haven't heard of it either, but if he was really sent by General Gu, he should come again."
Yu Shui said angrily, "That guy doesn't look like a good person. He's so arrogant and thinks he's a nobody."
Suddenly, Wen Shubai patted his head.
"Master, why are you hitting me?" Yu Shui asked in some confusion.
"If he comes again next time, let him come."
However, if someone who has some connection with her is safe and sound, he can call him cousin and take better care of him.
But if he dares to have any other thoughts, don't blame him for taking action against him.
Yu Shui nodded and said, "I understand."
"Oh, right." Wen Shubai seemed to remember something.
"Master, do you want me to deal with that young master's cousin?"
"...I just want to remind you, don't forget to fold flowers for me again."
Put a vase in the room and put a few flowers in it, which will make it more pleasing to the eye.
Yu Shui did not forget the important matter this time. She went to the yard and picked a few blooming kapok flowers and white magnolias, and asked Wen Shubai to put the flowers in a vase.
He picked up the dried branches and threw them away.
After adding new branches to the vase, it looks more lively.
After Xu Fan was turned away by Yu Shui, he returned to the general's mansion to complain.
General Gu was in the yard, sword in hand, sparring with Xia Zhi.
Xu Fan ran over crying, shouting as he ran: "Cousin... wuwuwu."
"It seems that your technique has deteriorated since you haven't practiced for a while."
General Gu defeated Xia Zhi in a few moves, and Xia Zhi looked a little ashamed.
"Yes, it was my fault for being lazy."
At this moment, noticing Xu Fan's appearance, Xia Zhi reminded him, "General, Master Xu is here."
General Gu turned around and saw Xu Fan crying miserably. He asked impatiently, "What's wrong?"
Xu Fan didn't notice the unhappiness in her words and continued to talk to himself, "Cousin, please help me. I had good intentions and wanted to go visit my cousin's husband. But the servants around him humiliated me, saying that I was of low status."
"Cousin, he clearly doesn't take you seriously!"
General Gu grasped the point and asked, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the General's Mansion? Why did you go there?"
Xu Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Cousin, I just want to tell my cousin's husband about the folk method for giving birth to a daughter. So that he can follow this method and give birth to a girl for the general's mansion."
After all, his cousin's concubine only gave birth to a boy.
"Does your method really work?"
"Of course it works!" Xu Fan said quickly, "In our area, several families have used this recipe, and their daughters are fair and plump."
"If the recipe you mentioned is really useful, you might as well give it a try."
……
"Your Majesty!"
After Prime Minister Yuan returned from the palace, his face was gloomy.
She also took Yuan Yingxue home to educate her.
The injuries Yuan Yingxue had received in the torture chamber had not yet fully healed. Seeing her mother's furious expression, she knew in her heart that she was probably going to be beaten again.
He didn't dare to hesitate and knelt straight on the ground.
Prime Minister Yuan took out a whip and hit him hard, and Yuan Yingxue let out a muffled groan.
Only after whipping him twenty times did Prime Minister Yuan drop the whip and kick him hard, causing him to lie on the ground in a mess.
"Do you know what our Yuan family has lost because of you this time?!"
Yuan Yingxue was so bold as to attack the little princess. The empress took the opportunity to shift the blame to Prime Minister Yuan and took back the jurisdiction of transporting salt on the grounds that she was not a good parent.
Originally, their family could make a huge profit from it every year, but now, His Majesty has taken it back.
How could she not be annoyed?
"How did I teach you? How did you develop such a vicious temper?"
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Yuan Yingxue's mouth. He lay on the ground, almost unable to stand up.
"Yes, I am unfilial and have caused my mother so much trouble."
Prime Minister Yuan was still holding his breath and whipped Yuan Yingxue again.
He raised his neck like a desperate swan.
"Kneel here and reflect on your actions. I won't send anyone to bring you a drop of water these days."
After saying that, Prime Minister Yuan walked around him and strode out, locking the door after he left.
"No one is allowed to visit him or send him anything. Let him reflect on this."
Yuan Yingxue only heard the person outside the door say, "Yes."
He lowered his eyes and clenched his teeth.
The wounds on his body made him feel so painful that he couldn't breathe, and the clothes on his back must have been torn. He could smell the smell of blood in the air.
He only regretted that he did not kill the little princess directly and left her with evidence.
What keeps him alive now is hatred.
He even began to hate the princess. If she hadn't cared about him, he wouldn't have become what he is now.
For a whole day and night, he knelt on the ground without eating or drinking, and did not even move.
