C73 Listen to the will of heaven as much as you can

"Look at you. She can't even wear a single piece of clothing. This young lady is truly too wronged. No, I have to go find her."

Old Mistress Zheng wiped her tears and walked out hurriedly. Qingluo had been caught unprepared, so she didn't hold on. When she reacted to it, the old mistress had already left the room.

"Grandmother, where are you going?" Zheng Qingluo anxiously followed along, Bai Mei and Huang Xing also followed closely behind the old mistress out, while Hong Li and Zi Ying stayed behind. Although they were worried about the few people who were rushing out, they still had to leave some people to take care of the Master Zheng on the bed.

"Help me up." When Master Zheng saw that the grandfather and grandson had already left the room, and that the old lady was still in a rage, he couldn't lie down.

"No, old master, you can't lie down again. The old lady said to let you take good care of yourself, but don't be in such a rush. You must not be careless when it comes to the heart. Otherwise, it will become more and more serious."

"I know my own body. If I can do it, please let go of it."

Originally, Master Zheng wanted to go out and spread out this morning, but Qingluo stopped him. In order to ease his daughter's heart, he lied down.

"sandalwood, come here and chase those two away, then help me up." Master Zheng signaled the head maidservants by his side to come over. The head maidservants hurriedly walked to the bedside and squeezed into the space between Red Orange and Zi Ying.

She didn't dare to go against the lord's will anymore. A few days ago, she knelt for half a day. She didn't want to receive that kind of punishment anymore, and she was also afraid that if the master failed, she really wouldn't be able to survive.

It was impossible for the master to allow her to do it once or twice. The first time was also when the third miss spoke up for the madame. What about the next time? Who else would help her? She also did not want to make a ruckus so that she had nowhere to retreat to.

The Master Zheng woke up a little slower. When he finished dressing up and left the main house, someone had already come to report. The Old Mistress and the Third Miss went to Songtao Academy.

Master Zheng was afraid that the two of them, one old and one young, would be bullied by the woman, so he increased his pace a little, but Yue Yang did not dare let him go too quickly.

"Zi Ying, you take care of the house. I'll go with the old master and the sandalwood." Ziying nodded and watched the three of them leave the yard.

I told you you were vicious, but that silly son of mine thought you were gentle and kind. Look at all the things you've done, which one of them was gentle and which one was kind?

Master Zheng had just entered the Songtao Courtyard, and before he had even reached the main house, he heard the old lady's loud berating voice. He quickly took a few steps forward, and even though he was slightly out of breath, he still quickly stepped into the house.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to lie down?" When the madame saw her son, she immediately became nervous. Her son's body was no longer suitable for wandering around. The doctors had said that he needed to rest, but he refused to listen to them.

"If you continue to be so disobedient, you won't need to take on that job anymore. Your body is broken and you can't say anything for nothing." The madame frowned, angry at her son's disobedience.

Mother, I just came over to take a look and then immediately went back to lie down. What are you getting angry at her for? Didn't I forbid her from taking any action?

Master Zheng, who was being supported by the madame and Zheng Qingluo, sat down on a chair. Only then did she see the two people standing on chairs in the room.

"What's going on with all of you?" Seeing that there were two people who were clearly in a bad mood, the Master Zheng asked curiously. If they were beaten up, they should be carried back to their own rooms.

What's more, there were no obvious traces of blood or wounds on these two people, so what was going on? He obviously didn't punish them. They followed his wife back to the courtyard.

"Hmph, what is it? Ask your good wife. Just because these two girls listened to your orders and supported her back to the courtyard, she made them kneel down. They still can't stand."

As the madame said this, she thought of the two girls. "Didn't I tell you to sit down? I already went to get a doctor. You're still so young, don't do anything wrong."

Luo Qian and Luo Qing didn't know how to express their feelings anymore. The person who should be most considerate of them, was their mistress, and the one who should hate them the most, was actually the old lady who pleaded for mercy and even invited a doctor for them. This world was a little messy.

"Thank you, madame!" In the end, Luo Qian and Luo Qing still listened to the Countess and barely gave her a blessing. They sat down on the chairs that they were supporting themselves.

"Say, why do you always make people kneel? If you break your knees, then your life is over. If it's not convenient for you to kneel, then what's the good? Luckily, our Qingluo is lucky and didn't leave any problems."

When Old Madam Zheng thought of the viciousness of the Madame Zheng, she became extremely angry. "You talk about you, if you're not a good lady and you want to do such a heartless thing, then you'll be your manager's wife and have your servants serve you well, okay?"

"What's there to be proud of? You actually made our Qingluo kneel for an entire day. You said you were ruthless, but Qingluo was only seven or eight years old at the time, how could she bear it?"

"Look at these two girls. They just knelt there for one or two hours and couldn't even stand properly. I wonder what Qingluo looked like at that time. I'm afraid she can't even stand up, right?"

As Madam Zheng spoke, her eyes began to roll down. When she thought of the suffering that Qingluo had gone through, she truly felt that she had been a poor grandma and had not taken good care of this child.

'Putong! 'This sound gave the madame a fright as she was crying loudly. To her surprise, it was Luo Qian who knelt down.

"Just look at you, your legs are going to break at any second, and yet you're still kneeling. Isn't this sound like you're going to break your bones? If your wife treats you like this and Qing Luo like this, then you don't have to plead for her."

Old Madam Zheng quickly signaled Bai Mei to help Luo Qian up, but before Bai Mei could reach out her hand, Luo Qian shook his head, avoiding his hands.

"No need to help, no need to help. Old madam, this is something that I should endure. It's all my fault for causing the third lady to suffer so much. Now that I'm here to take revenge, I deserve it."

Luo Qian's sudden cry caught the old lady unawares. Master Zheng, on the other hand, could tell that the old lady's words had caught the Master Zheng by surprise, and his brows were raised.

"When Qingluo was punished to kneel, was it you who went to prison?" Master Zheng's tone was especially sharp. Thinking about how much suffering Qingluo had endured, Master Zheng no longer had any thoughts of sympathy.

"Yes, that's me. At that time, Madam said that Third Young Miss was wearing the wrong clothes and did not have the grace of a noble family's daughter, so she must have a good memory. She ordered Third Young Miss to kneel, from the time of the morning to the time of the evening, for a full six hours."

"This servant had only knelt for four hours today before she lost her balance. Thinking about the pain Third Young Miss suffered back then, this servant truly deserves to die a thousand times for her crimes."

Luo Qian then turned to Zheng Qingluo and kowtowed to her. Honestly speaking, Zheng Qingluo didn't have much sympathy for a servant that bullied her, but seeing someone kowtowed to her, she couldn't bear it.

"Mo Li, help her up." He gestured to Mo Li, but Zheng Qingluo herself didn't move a bit. Mo Li also didn't want to move a step forward. She stayed there for a long time, but she couldn't move a single inch.

"What, you're not going to listen to me either?" "What are you waiting for?" Zheng Qingluo shouted at Mo Lun, but she didn't expect Mo Lun to suddenly stop. She turned around, gritted her teeth and said to Zheng Qingluo —

"Miss, how did she treat you back then? So what if she kowtowed a few times? Your servant kowtowed to her many times, but she still pitied you in the slightest. Your servant still hasn't begged her to let you go, I only begged her to be a cushion for you."

She did not spit at all, even the Miss fainted from kneeling. She only allowed us to feed you a few mouthfuls of tea, but after waking up, she made you kneel instead. What's there to pity about such a person?

"It's the same for the Mothers. Let alone inviting doctors, we can't even eat hot food." At this time, the inside of the house was already filled with tears. Other than Madame Zheng, even his cheeks were wet from tears.

"At that time, we did not have any money on us, so we could not borrow any money. Later on, we had an older sister who lent us some ointment, and when we went back, we used it for Third Young Miss. We don't know if it would work for us or not."

At that time, me and Mo Li were both young, only six or seven years old. Other than crying, we could not help much, we could only follow Mothers's orders and do as he said. We protected Miss's leg, but Mothers actually knelt on the ground until it was broken.

Although her voice was hoarse, her words were clear. At that time, it wasn't that she didn't want to deal with the Miss, but that no one could help her.

"Why don't you go to Master?" Old Madam Zheng hurriedly asked Moyu, as if what had just happened, "You wanted to ask for help? Luo Qian said it was the old master who asked his wife to punish you in such a way."

As she said this, Mo Ju glared discontentedly at the old master. She wanted to glare at the old master, but she didn't dare in the end.
