She lowered her face and said, "Let her go to the back hall to kneel. When she's in a good mood, she might be able to see me."
Fu He, who came to report, bowed his head and retreated.
Since the young miss hurt the young master last time, Eldest Young Lady had also been dragged into this. It was true that by doing such a thing, the young miss had injured the young master's physique. It was said that even if she were to recuperate in the future, she wouldn't recover to her peak condition. How could such a thing not anger the madame?
Fu Er went to report to the Eldest Young Lady.
"Ugh …" Unexpectedly, Eldest Young Lady suddenly retched. She covered her chest, "Right... I'm sorry, I'll just stay here. "
Fu Er looked at her curiously, she was actually curious, why did Eldest Young Lady suddenly have the guts to greet the Old Ancestor? It seems that Eldest Young Lady had come prepared this time.
That's right, which one of the people in this mansion wasn't a shrewd lord? With Eldest Young Lady's shrewdness, how could he know that the Old Ancestor would come knocking on her door to receive punishment when she knew that she would not be in a good mood …
As for the drooping Eldest Young Lady, he quietly placed her hands on her stomach. No matter how she looked at the complacent smile at the corner of her eyes, it didn't seem like the smile of a person admitting his mistakes …
The Old Ancestor was in a much better mood as he chatted happily with the Mrs. Lin.
Only now did Fu Er come forward to report carefully.
"Old Ancestor, is Eldest Young Lady still waiting in the backyard?"
"Hmph …" "Teach a ignorant and ignorant woman what kind of woman she is, how can such a good child be taught to be so virtuous?"
Fu Er bent her waist and broke out in cold sweat. It was fortunate that the Old Ancestor didn't bother with her about the previous matter and didn't pursue her fault. But little miss Xiao Honger, could not be forgiven.
"Actually, what happened last time might not have been taught by the Eldest Young Lady."
Fu Er said carefully.
"Alright, I understand, but I don't believe that a mere child would become such a savage existence without her Eldest Young Lady's guidance. How is the child now? "
Speaking of Xiao Honger, the Old Ancestor herself was annoyed.
To be honest, the old Xiao Honger used to be very popular with the old ancestor. But who would have thought that such a small child would make a move against his own younger brother?
"That child has always been locked up in the backyard, leaving her to fend for herself …" Speaking to this point, Fu Er also felt that it was a little shabby.
No matter what, Xiao Honger was only a four year old child. How hard it must be for a four-year-old to live on his own in the backyard.
"This child …" Hearing the Old Ancestor's sigh, Fu Er understood, the Old Ancestor also felt sorry for Xiao Honger. However, family rules couldn't be scrapped, so punishment was still a must. However, what she wanted to do now was her business.
"Old Ancestor, the Eldest Young Lady seemed to be retching …"
The Old Ancestor was originally very tired and wanted to rest. Upon hearing this news, his spirit immediately rose.
"What, you mean the Eldest Young Lady is retching?" She narrowed her eyes in thought for a while, "That's true. With her personality, it would be really funny if she would obediently stay after getting pregnant. Come on, I won't see her anymore, so I'll leave her alone in the paddle room and let her take care of it. However, compared to the past, the supply will be halved. "
When the hopeful Eldest Young Lady heard this, her face immediately changed.
She straightened her back and forced a smile at Fu Er, then turned and left.
Fu Er wanted to stop her from talking about Xiao Honger's matter, but after thinking about her personality, she shook her head in the end and went to look for the manager of the backyard mama.
"Is the Maid Lin here?!"
The backyard was quiet, without a sound.
When the Maid Lin in the distance heard Fu Er's greetings, she was so frightened that she quickly rushed over.
"Greetings, Lady Fu Er."
She was only a mama who was responsible for managing the small chores in the backyard. Compared to a girl like Fu Er, her status was much lower.
"What's that in your hand?"
Looking at the thing in Maid Lin's hand, Fu Er asked sternly.
"This …." It's not finished at all. "
Maid Lin quickly opened his hands and threw the ball of food on the ground.
"How is Miss Xiao Honger inside? Still alive? " Fu Er raised her eyebrows, and did not expose Maid Lin's worries. At this moment, he did not believe that Maid Lin would still eat miscellaneous food. One had to know that the rules of the mansion were still very strict. An old man like the Maid Lin would obviously know that this was the time to be working, why would he bother with his private food? Just now, the Maid Lin was heading to the backyard, so the answer to where she wanted to take the food was unknown.
"Miss Fu, please spare me! Miss Fu, please spare me! This old woman will never dare to do it again!" I, I just saw that girl was so young, and she was so hungry that she got sick, so … So I thought I'd give him something to eat. I, I won't dare to do it again. "
This Maid Lin thought that Fu Er came here to punish her. Therefore, when he mentioned Xiao Honger, he was so shocked that he immediately knelt down.
"Although you have your wish, to imprison Miss Xiao Honger in the backyard is after all still an order from the old mistress. You clearly know the orders of the people above, but you still dared to disobey. Maid Lin, you truly are bold. " These words made the Maid Lin even more afraid.
"Miss Fu, please be magnanimous and let this old servant off this time. I beg you, Miss Fu, in the future, when you are rich, you will definitely find such a rich man."
Fu Er clenched her teeth, "Enough, old servant. This, as we both know, must not be disobeyed in the future. You know, family rules are not to be disrupted. " With her purpose of suppressing her, Fu Er's tone of voice became gentler. She changed the topic, "However, I still hope that Maid Lin can look after Miss Xiao Honger properly in the backyard. It's better to not starve to death like this …"
When she was halfway through her words, she stopped talking. Maid Lin was shocked by her words.
"What does Miss Fu Er mean by that?"
"Ah, look at you old servant. Just now, I thought you were quite quick-witted." He didn't expect that he would be a fool at this moment. Little Miss doesn't care what happens, she's still surnamed Zhou. The master of our house … "That's the surname Zhou …"
This time, Maid Lin finally understood.
"I know, I know, even if Miss Xiao Honger made a mistake, she is still the Miss of Zhou Mansion. No matter what, the broken bones still had tendons attached to them. She didn't know which day, but the people in the upper echelons would think of this little miss. In the future, they would let her out … They were still a family. "As servants, we only need to fulfill our duty of preventing others from starving to death."
Fu Er curled her lips in satisfaction, "Yeah, at least you're a smart old servant. Now do you understand what to do? "
"I know, I know, I understand. Miss Xiao Honger only made a mistake, but in reality, the people above only want her to be taught a lesson. As for how he was really going to take her life, that was impossible. If you want to marry her life, on the day of the incident, Miss Xiao Honger's life will be gone. "
"Alright, old servant. You finally understand." I'll leave this matter to you. I'm going to look for Xiao Honger. "
When Fu Er arrived at the dilapidated backyard, she smelled a strange odor.
Only after fanning his fan did the smell fade a bit.
"This backyard has always been used to grow some vegetables or pile up some harvested crops. Sometimes, when he didn't come to clean up, he would have a weird smell. I'll clean it up in two days, don't mind me, Miss Fu. "
Maid Lin hurriedly explained. This was a place she and another woman were in charge of. They were also the ones managing the backyard of the old courtyard. The vegetables that were in season, as well as those from the greenhouse, were all taken care of by her and another woman. Now, with the addition of another Miss Xiao Honger, their matters had become even more complicated.
"Alright, since you have so many things to do, go back to your work." Fu Er waved away the Maid Lin, and started to walk towards the small hut by herself. Although this small house would not leak any rain, it was still quite dilapidated.
Furthermore, there were mice running around everywhere … From the half-destroyed window frame, a small ball of a body was curled up on the old bed in the room. If not for the blanket trembling slightly, Fu Er would have thought that the person on the bed was dead …
The door was not latched, Fu Er just gently pushed it open. Perhaps because it was not opened often, but when it was pushed open, the door creaked loudly. In this quiet courtyard, this sound really did sound somewhat shabby.
The little girl on the bed no longer moved. Fu Er saw that her originally closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Father, is father here?"
When he saw Fu Er, Xiao Honger's large eyes revealed disappointment.
The kid who used to talk and laugh now looked extremely terrified. She only stared fearfully at Fu Er who was advancing forward step by step with her pair of big empty eyes, her small hands tightly gripped onto the blanket, and she was trembling with excitement.
She was very afraid, and her fear was clearly expressed in those large eyes.
"Your father, he can't come …" Fu Er felt a lump in his throat. What could cause this little girl to become so cruel and merciless?
"Dad doesn't want me anymore. Mom doesn't want me either. The Old Ancestor doesn't want me either …" "You don't want me anymore …" Xiao Honger whispered, his eyes streaming with tears. But it was also just an instant. She wiped her tears away and looked at Fu Er very carefully. Big Sister Fu Er, I'm sorry, I just accidentally cried. In the future, he would not cry anymore. I want to laugh, I want to laugh, the Maid Lin said. I want to laugh more, then I will be able to attract all of you to me. Mother also said that she wanted me to smile happily at everyone. In the future, I will smile at all of you, and I'll be good. I won't cry anymore.
