In fact, she had already heard the cough not too far away just as her hand was about to land on the ground, but she had been too frightened to notice it.
It was rare to find out that Zhao Yuanzhi and Qi Feiyu had bewitched them during normal times. They had never seen the true appearance of the mother and daughter pair. This was a good opportunity. Only then did she come up with a plan. She suddenly stopped and pretended to brush off the dust on her body.
When the sound of footsteps drew near, Yuanzhi put on a pitiful expression, allowing Zhao Yuanzhi to insult him without retorting.
Zhao Yuanzhi was still cursing out loud, so how could she have noticed the footsteps behind her?
Yuanzhi's scolding sounded like Zhao Yuanzhi's scolding. When Yuanzhi walked over, Yuanzhi was indeed there to teach him a lesson.
As expected, he believed it. After listening in on the conversation for a while, he couldn't help but angrily yell at Zhao Yuanzhi to stop.
The slightest trick at hand had exposed her true colors, and she was secretly pleased with herself for suffering so much.
After returning to the Matchmaking Garden, Xiao Lan was the only person there. The maid Xiao Hong was missing.
Yu Yu frowned and asked: "Where is Xiao Hong?"
"Miss, she was there just now. I don't know why, but she disappeared just as she turned around. How about I go and look around? " Xiao Lan said.
Normally, these maids got along well with each other. Seeing that Little Red had disappeared without a trace, Xiaolan was afraid that she would be severely punished.
"No need."
Yu Yu had already guessed where Xiao Hong was going. At this time, it was only that person who had called Xiao Hong away. Why did she need to gather so many people to look for it?
Xiao Lan brought him a cup of tea and carefully probed, "Eldest Miss, you won't punish Xiao Hong right?"
"I was in a good mood today, so I didn't plan on doing that." With a face full of smiles, he took a sip of tea and immediately felt more at ease.
"The First Miss is radiant today and her face is rosy. It can be seen that she is in a good mood. I wonder if there's any good news? " Xiao Lan asked curiously.
Ever since Xiao Yun Chen had arranged for her to be at her side, Xiao Lan had rarely seen someone as happy as she was today.
Yu Yu's interest was suddenly piqued as he mysteriously smiled and said, "Guess."
"Your servant is stupid, I don't dare to guess." Xiaolan shook her head.
Yu Yu's face sank, pretending to be unhappy. "I'll let you guess."
"Yes, Miss got up this morning and heard the magpie chirping?" Xiao Lan tilted her head and guessed.
He shook his head with a smile.
"That means I've picked up a gold ingot the moment I stepped out of the door." Little Lan scratched her head and smiled.
"No, neither. "Alright, since I'm in a great mood today, why don't we talk about Xiao Yun Chen?" She was rarely interested in Xiao Yun Chen.
Since there was nothing to do today, it wasn't bad to talk about this man.
Xiao Yun Chen had also helped out a few times. She no longer hated this man, but she still didn't know much about his matters.
"Young master, he's a very, very good person." When Xiao Yun Chen mentioned Xiao Yun Chen, Xiao Lan had an expression of admiration on her face.
How good can it be? At most, he was just a good-looking guy who had a decent appearance.
Xiao Lan chatted with Yu Yu about Xiao Yun Chen a lot, but she did not mention anything about it. She knew that asking too many questions was useless, so she did not pursue the topic.
He thought to himself that it wasn't bad to have Xiao Lan by his side. This girl was quite quick-witted and also knew martial arts. If necessary, she could protect him. It seemed that this Xiao Yun Chen had helped him a lot.
"Xiao Lan, you can serve me peacefully from now on." She pursed her lips and smiled.
"Miss Xie." Little Lan will definitely serve him with all her heart. " Xiao Lan bowed and replied softly.
Meanwhile, in Zhao Yuanzhi's bedroom, Lil 'Red was kneeling on the floor, begging for mercy with a frightened expression on its face.
"Madam, please spare this servant."
"Spare you? Dream on! Which of the tasks that I told you to do were done properly? Say it! Last time, the Second Miss had meticulously planned to use Treadmill to get rid of that bitch. She wanted to make sure that you wouldn't be able to even give her a scented sachet, so why would I let you stay? Hit him hard for me! " Zhao Yuanzhi shouted angrily with a ferocious look on her face.
Several servants grinned as they approached Xiao Hong while holding onto brambles.
Little Red retreated backwards in shock. "Madam, please spare my life."
"Fight." Zhao Yuanzhi's voice was exceptionally cold.
The sound of the branches blowing against each other was heard as they flew towards Xiao Hong. A few bright red lines appeared on Xiao Hong's body.
"Ah …"
Xiao Hong screamed miserably, wailing incessantly in pain on the ground.
"Little Gouzi, shut up!" Even if you scream your throat out today, no one will help you. At this time, Old Master is still having tea at the teahouse with Old Master He. Zhao Yuanzhi yelled and grabbed Red's hair.
Little Red was covered in blood as she begged while crying, "Madam, this is all your servant's fault. Please give me one more chance. I won't dare to do it anymore, I'll definitely settle this for you."
"Okay, I'll give you one more chance. Make sure you get rid of that bitch tonight. If you fail again this time, don't blame me for being merciless and not letting you live! " Zhao Yuanzhi pushed Little Red away, her face grim.
Xiao Hong crawled up from the ground and continuously kowtowed. "Madam, this time, I will definitely not ruin Madam's plans."
Zhao Yuanzhi threw Xiao Hong a set of servant clothes, and said coldly, "Put them on, don't let that little bitch see any flaws."
"Yes." Xiao Hong took the clothes fearfully, hiding behind the screen to change into them before walking out.
Zhao Yuanzhi threatened him with a grim expression, "I'm warning you again, if you screw this up or you give me up, don't even think about living!"
Xiao Hong hurriedly agreed. How could she possibly dare to disobey Zhao Yuanzhi's orders? Apart from the leader of this household, Zhao Yuanzhi held the most authority in this mansion.
How dare he play tricks with Zhao Yuanzhi? Wasn't he using an egg to smash a rock?
As servants, they were all sold to the Prime Minister's Estate. They had no personal freedom, nor did they have the right to choose. They could only resign themselves to their fate.
Now, she dared not disobey the mission given to her by Zhao Yuanzhi.
Xiao Hong walked out of Zhao Yuanzhi's bedroom and returned to the Matchmaking Garden while enduring the intense pain on its body.
Yu Yu was chatting with Xiao Lan in the living room. Seeing Xiao Hong walk into the courtyard, Xiao Lan quickly went to welcome him and asked, "Where did you go?"
Before Xiao Hong could reply, Xiao Yu had already reached the door.
Her expression darkened as she stared at Xiao Hong and said, "You couldn't be found in the entire Pine Cloud Garden. Where did you go?"
"I-I'm going to the garden to pick flowers." Xiao Hong was shocked and hurriedly lied.
