Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 268 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General

What time is it? Still sleeping.

The master was about to leave, but he was still sleeping.

Isn't that just a complete waste of time?

The butler was furious when he saw Xiao Ma's dead state.

It's impossible to lift up the pony and make him drive the carriage to accompany the master on his outings.

Moreover, given Xiao Ma's condition, the butler was not comfortable letting him drive for the master.

Fortunately, there were two grooms.

Two grooms were feeding the horses in the stable, working diligently.

With the housekeeper's arrival, they worked even harder.

The butler selected one of the grooms and asked him to prepare the carriage so that he could accompany the master on his outing today.

The coachman immediately went to prepare the carriage.

The butler glanced at the little horse, whose eyes remained closed, and snorted coldly.

This little horse is really getting cocky.

This is because they think they are very important and irreplaceable, and even dare to neglect the master.

The steward thought highly of the groom he was dealing with today.

If he performs well today, someone else will take over serving the master.

The butler had always wanted to get the young horse away from the master, and this was a good opportunity.

Starting today, the master's work will no longer be handed over to Xiao Ma.

On the other side, Jiang's mother was also about to go out.

Now the Jiang family has more grooms; there are three now.

It can accommodate three horse-drawn carriages traveling at the same time.

Jiang's mother also goes shopping much more frequently.

Jiang's mother sent someone to say that she was going out today and asked them to prepare a carriage.

The butler could only arrange for another coachman to drive for the lady.

There's only one pony left in the stable.

Meanwhile, Little Horse was still lying there, fast asleep.

The housekeeper came twice and woke the person up both times.

But Xiao Ma didn't care, and after waking up for a moment, he fell asleep again.

He didn't even remember the butler calling him.

Jiang He brought Jiang Tao along, saying she wanted to go horseback riding with him.

Jiang Tao was also quite interested in giving it a try.

Take Master Wu with you to the stables.

When they arrived at the stables, they found them empty and deserted.

The housekeeper, upon hearing the news, rushed over immediately.

The young master and young lady went to the stables in person, but the pony was still fast asleep. Such neglect of its masters is incredibly disrespectful.

In front of the young master and young lady, the steward had to punish Xiao Ma.

But Xiao Ma was still fast asleep.

The butler had a bucket of water brought in and gave Xiao Ma a refreshing soak.

Little Horse finally came to his senses.

It was discovered that the housekeeper had done it.

He just wants to get some rest, is that not allowed?

The steward said that the young master and young lady wanted to ride horses and told him to get up quickly and choose a horse for them.

Little Horse was unwilling, but he had no choice.

Even though there were three grooms, they always liked to cause him trouble.

When Xiao Ma changed into clean clothes and came out of the room, Jiang He and Jiang Tao were no longer there.

There was no one in the stable, and the butler went into the pony's room but didn't come out.

Jiang Tao then made his own choice.

Master Wu selected horses for the two of them and took them riding.

When Xiao Ma came out to look, there wasn't a trace of him.

Where can you find the young master and young lady?

Xiao Ma suspected that the butler was deliberately making trouble for him.

The butler noticed that the young master and young lady had left, and glared at Xiao Ma. It was all his fault for dawdling and delaying the young master and young lady's plans.

The butler left.

Little Ma looked at the empty stable.

Both grooms have gone out. I wonder who will be driving for the master today.

I wonder if the master has given me anything as a reward.

When you come back later, you'll be showing off what the master gave you, won't you?

Xiao Ma was thinking about the snacks from yesterday, which he hadn't eaten yet.

It wasn't mealtime yet, so Xiao Ma didn't dare go to the kitchen.

Yesterday's ordeal is still fresh in my mind. I'd better have some snacks to tide me over.

Next time there's a chance, let them see the reward the master gave them.

The butler hurried to the racecourse.

She quickly apologized to the young master and young lady.

It was his negligence that just now; he went into Xiao Ma's room and left the young master and young lady there.

He should have sent someone to drag that little horse out directly.

He actually abandoned the young master and young lady; that was truly wrong of him.

Even the housekeeper couldn't understand how he could have made such a mistake.

But when he learned that Xiao Ma was still sleeping in the room, he was angry and wanted to teach Xiao Ma a lesson. He forgot that he didn't need to do it himself; he could just find two guards.

“Uncle Zhang, it’s alright. You’re busy, we can manage on our own. Master Wu has already picked out the horses for us.”

The butler felt even more ashamed upon hearing this.

The young master and young lady have always respected him, and now that he has failed in his duty, the young lady is even trying to comfort him.

“Uncle Zhang, if there aren’t enough people at the stables, let’s find two more. Father also said he’s planning to buy two more horses, and the stables will probably be overwhelmed then.”

"Young master, this old servant will take care of this matter immediately. There will definitely be no next time such a thing happens."

The steward went back and summoned several guards to the stables. The pony had neglected its master and abandoned its post during its duty period; it deserved to be flogged thirty times.

The steward was accompanied by guards, who were carrying paddles; it was clear they were about to administer a beating.

I don't know who made the mistake.

It attracted the attention of many servants along the way.

Some people even followed behind to check out the situation.

The butler noticed the people following behind but ignored them.

This kind of punishment is meant to make an example of someone to deter others.

Follow along, everyone take a look. Mistakes will be punished.

Well done, the master will reward you.

However, those who do not perform well will also be severely punished.

Upon arriving at the stables, everyone's first thought was of the pony.

Could it be that Xiao Ma made a mistake again?

Last time, Xiao Ma secretly rode the horse, which startled it. Luckily it was nighttime, so it didn't hit anyone, only some things.

The little horse was fined a month's wages to compensate for these things.

He was also given twenty lashes.

I wonder what mistake they made this time.

Old Ma's leg injury has healed, and the housekeeper has assigned him to take care of the fish in the pond.

I usually just feed the fish and remove some aquatic plants.

Old Ma watched as the steward headed towards the stables and followed him.

I wonder what happened at the stables again.

When the steward saw that the stables were empty, his expression darkened even more.

He just woke up the pony himself.

Now I don't know where they've gone again.

You've done this time and time again, that's really commendable.

This is the fourth time today that the housekeeper has caught Xiao Ma not doing his duty properly.

The butler ordered the guards to go to Xiao Ma's room and drag him out.

The guards rushed into Xiao Ma's room and soon brought him out.

"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go."

Xiao Ma was enjoying tea and snacks in his room when two people suddenly rushed in and pinned him to the table without saying a word.

This action reminded Xiao Ma of the scene where he was forced to feed pigs.

The pony struggled violently.

The more the pony struggled, the harder the guards pressed it down.
