Chapter 152
Seeing him like this, Luo Shuiyao didn't feel a trace of pity in her heart: "Being born as a human is different from being an animal. You are the son of a noble family, supported by the people and enjoying wealth and glory. No one expects you to love the people and be kind, but even without merit or fault, you can't do that. Your parents won't teach you how to be a good person, but it doesn't matter, there will always be someone who will discipline you on your behalf."
"Since that thing of yours only harms people, I will destroy it today. If your parents come and demand my life, I'll pay with my own. I can't let a waste like you continue to do evil."
As she spoke, she gave him another hard kick. Then she called Zhuangzi over and said, "Throw him out of the villa. Whether he lives or dies is up to fate."
Zhuangzi hesitated after hearing this, "Miss, if the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion knew about this..."
Luo Shuiyao narrowed her eyes slightly, having already thought of a plan in her mind. She was not panicked at all, but just said calmly: "Find a way to tell the young general and ask him to help deal with it."
When Zhuangzi heard this, his expression changed slightly, but when he thought that if the young general knew about it, he would definitely not spare the beast, he nodded in agreement and dragged the man, who looked like a dead pig, out.
Seeing that Young Master Liu was finally dragged away, the people who had been huddled in the corner like quails dared to raise their heads, and whispers began to rise.
Luo Shuiyao watched Chun Xing enter the house, then turned to look at the group of people and said in a gentle voice, "Who among you is the manager of this farm?"
Although her voice was soft, after seeing her decisive actions just now, everyone was in awe of her and immediately fell silent. No one dared to speak again.
One of the men, who was about forty years old, stepped forward and bowed. "Miss, I am the manager of this manor. My surname is Liu."
Luo Shuiyao nodded slightly. "Manager Liu, right? Since we've met today, I'll introduce myself to you. My surname is Luo, and I'm the cousin of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the future owner of this manor. You will serve me as your master from now on. If anyone is unhappy, please go to my maid to collect some silver, take your respective indentures and leave. I don't accept anyone with two hearts here. If you stay, you must work for me wholeheartedly and not think about your old master."
Manager Liu was delighted when he heard this. He turned around and glanced at the people behind him. Seeing that they were all excited, he quickly turned around and said, "I will do my best to serve the young lady and will never have any second thoughts." Then he knelt down.
Seeing this, the people behind him also knelt and saluted: "We will definitely serve you, young lady, without any second thoughts."
Luo Shuiyao's words were a combination of kindness and authority. She offered them a way out, allowing them to choose whether to leave or remain loyal to her. She also revealed that she was aware of their grievances and capable of handling them. This made them both awed and grateful to her, and they immediately pledged their loyalty and willingness to serve her.
Seeing that everyone surrendered, Luo Shuiyao stepped forward and gave them a helping hand, and then everyone stood up.
They had originally lived a decent life on this farm. After all, the emperor was far away, and the master was not here. Apart from a bit of hardship, there wasn't much else wrong with it. But ever since Young Master Liu arrived a few days ago, they've been miserable.
Young Master Liu was a lecherous man who delighted in letting everyone hear what went on in his bedroom. He would often beat and scold them, treating them like human beings. For this reason, everyone dared not speak out, as their bonds were held by the Liu family, and they could not even escape. They were tortured by Young Master Liu for months.
But I didn't expect that today I would see the change of ownership of this manor.
Just now, this Miss Luo said that she was the cousin of the Marquis's mansion, and she was not afraid of offending this Young Master Liu, and she crippled him with one move. This made everyone feel happy and relieved, finally able to escape this inhuman life.
Naturally, everyone responded, and no one dared to raise any objection.
Luo Shuiyao asked, "Then why is Manager Liu here? What's the situation with the woman inside? Why are you kneeling here? Manager, please explain one by one."
Manager Liu looked up at her, answered yes, then turned around and signaled everyone behind him to disperse.
After everyone had left, he recounted everything in detail.
The more Luo Shuiyao listened, the tighter her brows furrowed, and she felt more and more disgusted with Liu Da.
The Jing'an Marquis's Mansion is truly rotten to the core. No wonder, even with the heroine's best efforts to protect it in the original novel, it still ended up like that.
"Miss, Miss, please come in quickly!" Suddenly, Chun Xing's terrified cry came from the room.
Luo Shuiyao's heart tightened and she immediately turned around and ran towards the room.
He flung the door open and saw Xing kneeling beside the bed, holding the girl's wrist tightly in his hands. Blood was gushing out of the girl's wrist like a fountain, and it couldn't be stopped. The blood was flowing so fast that half of the bed was soaked.
Luo Shuiyao rushed forward and looked around, but found nothing suitable for bandaging. Suddenly remembering the silk handkerchief she had brought with her when she left the house, she quickly folded it and wrapped it around the girl's wrist. Then she anxiously called out, "Don't cry, did you bring the medicine bag with you?"
"I brought it here, I brought it here." Chun Xing wiped her tears with her bloody hands, and her face was suddenly covered with blood, but neither of them had time to care about it at the moment.
Manager Liu was originally hesitating at the door, not daring to come in. But when he saw the little maid in a panic, he didn't care about anything else. He hurried forward, picked up the bundle on the table next to him and handed it over. While handing it over, he deliberately turned his head to the side to avoid looking at the girl on the bed.
Luo Shuiyao looked at the bundle in front of her, took it with one hand, and threw it on the bed. Her movements were neat and clear, but her voice was still calm and steady: "Chun Xing, come over and help me press the key."
"Oh, okay." Chun Xing rushed over when she heard her words and pressed the wound on the girl's wrist instead of Luo Shuiyao.
After freeing her hands, Luo Shuiyao casually wiped the blood off her hands on her clothes, then buried her head in searching through the scattered bundles.
There was a bottle of hemostatic medicine in the bundle, which was prepared by Luo Shuiyao. I wanted to find an opportunity to try it out to see if it could be used on soldiers in the future. I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
But Luo Shuiyao couldn't care less at this point. This village was far from Kyoto, and doctors were extremely difficult to find. Even if this bottle of medicine didn't work as well as she had hoped, it was still a rare and effective medicine, so she wasn't worried.
Soon, Luo Shuiyao found a turquoise porcelain bottle. After opening it, she signaled Chun Xing to release the handkerchief she was covering it with, and Chun Xing quickly let go.
Luo Shuiyao observed carefully and found that although the girl's wound was no longer bleeding as profusely as before, it still looked horrible. Without hesitation, she picked up the powder and poured a thick layer of it on the girl's wrist.
