"Yan 'Er!" The middle-aged woman, who was already pale with fright, let out a shrill cry when she saw that her precious daughter had fainted and was no longer breathing. She pounced on the young girl and wailed endlessly.
The stern middle-aged man had a concerned look on his face. He asked the trembling maidservant behind the young girl to support her. His fingers reached out to the tip of her nose and pinched the young girl's philtrum a few times. Only then did the young girl wake up. Because she was too frightened, her body kept trembling uncontrollably.
Zu Ling 'er stared blankly at the chaotic scene in front of the door. The girl had only fainted. The servants surrounded her, and the madam hugged her. The old master did not care about maintaining his dignified posture and bent down to save her. In comparison, besides a thin and weak little girl, no one asked about this body that had just walked through the gates of hell. Could it be any worse?
Sighing for her difficult future, Zu Ling 'er gently patted the little girl's back. She was glad that there was at least one person who truly cared about her.
The little girl called Lian 'er felt the gentle caress on her back. She raised her tearful face and met Zu Ling' er's gentle and compassionate eyes. She was stunned at first, then she let out a surprised cry. Her entire small face emitted a dazzling light." Third Miss, you're alright. You're not dead…Pui pui…"
Seeing Zu Ling 'er nod and smile, she happily turned her head and looked at the commotion in front of the door. She cheered loudly,""Master, Madam Yoo, Third Miss is fine. Third Miss is awake!!”
The middle-aged lady's eyes flashed with disgust. She caressed her daughter's face and said sharply,"What are you shouting for? If you startle the young miss, be careful not to be beaten!! Granny Feng, go and see Third Miss. Is she awake or is she a zombie?”
An old woman with a rigid face and a worried expression slowly approached him while trembling. She stood a step away from the bed and did not dare to take another step closer. She said in a trembling voice,"Third Miss, can you reach out your hand and let this old servant feel your pulse?”
Zu Ling 'er blinked twice and obediently extended her yellow and thin hand. She didn't know if she should be happy that she was ten years younger or lament that she had to live her childhood again. This was because this skinny little hand was about the size of a six or seven-year-old child in his previous life. What did that old woman say just now? This small body was already ten years old, with thin arms and legs. It was a typical case of malnutrition.
Granny Feng hesitated for a long time before she finally put her fingers on her slender wrist and felt the strong pulse. She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled."Madam Yoo, Third Miss's hand is warm and her pulse is beating. She should have fainted just now. Lian 'er did not check for a moment and thought that she was dead.”
Mrs. Yoo and the young girl beside her seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden. They let out a long sigh, and their expressions became relaxed. The servant girls hugging each other behind them also let go of each other and pretended to tidy up their clothes to cover up their loss of composure.
Madam Yoo's expression relaxed, but at the same time, a hint of disappointment flashed across her face. She immediately put on a serious expression and said,"Men, pull Lian 'er down and give her twenty strokes!”
Lian 'er's face turned pale when she heard that. With her frail body, even if she was hit ten times, it would still take her life, let alone twenty. However, she didn't dare to cry out for mercy. Mrs. Yoo hated it when people cried for mercy. The more they cried, the more flogging they received.
Two sturdy and powerful old women walked in upon receiving the order. Each of them grabbed Lian 'er's arm and was about to drag her out.
"Wait!" A clear but determined voice rang out in the room.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this Third Miss who was usually timid and did not dare to open her eyes to look at others. At this moment, her eyes were clear and firm, and her expression was calm, neither servile nor overbearing. That "wait" was from her mouth.
Seeing that this usually timid little girl was actually disobeying her orders in front of so many maids, the disgust in Madam Yoo's eyes deepened."Ling Er, this girl didn't understand the situation and went to the main room to report. Third Miss went. Wasn't he cursing his master to death? He couldn't keep such a vicious girl. Hurry up and drag him out!" The last sentence was shouted at the two old women.
"Madam!" Zu Ling 'er looked straight into Madam You's eyes without any intention of retreating. He had come to this strange world, and currently, only this little girl called Lian 'er still had some sincerity for him. In the novels she had read in the past, a loyal servant girl was a necessary magic weapon in a house fight. She did not want to come to this big house without even half a useful person. Wouldn't that be the same as having her limbs cut off? Therefore, this girl must be protected!
Madam Yoo looked impatient and said anxiously,"What else do you have to say?"
She knew that she was not allowed to pamper the daughter of a concubine in the house. Not to mention the wife of the head of the house, even the servant girls with a little status could manipulate her at will. Zu Ling 'er decided to use the strategy of mourning. She put on a weak and sad face and looked at Madam You with a pleading gaze. The delicate voice made people unable to help but pity her."Madam, your daughter has just woken up from a coma. Her body is weak and there is no one to serve her. I'm afraid that her body, which she barely managed to hold on, will be critically ill again. This little girl was used to being used by her daughter. She was also very dedicated in delivering water and medicine. She was also worried about me, so she mistakenly thought that her unconscious daughter was dying and let Master and Madam see her daughter for the last time. Please forgive her this time!"
"No!" She didn't know what kind of grudge Madam Yoo had with the original body of this body, but she didn't give her any face at all and even said in a dignified manner,"There are so many servants in the Inner Academy. If this master who has made a mistake can be forgiven with a few words and that master who has made a mistake can be forgiven with a plea, how can this Furen manage this family and make this decision? Drag him down and kill him with a cane!"
"Madam!" Zu Ling 'er panicked, but her face still showed a pleading expression." If Lian' er is beaten to death, who will take care of me? Are you going to let me die here?" Master and Madam had always been merciful. Even if the servants were sick or injured, they would ask the doctor to treat them. Although her daughter was a concubine's daughter, she was still a part of the family.”
What Zu Ling 'er meant was that if she insisted on killing Lian' er today, she would be treating a concubine's daughter worse than a servant. It depends on whether you're willing to bear the reputation of being a harsh concubine's daughter.
"There are so many servants in the house. How can I not find one to serve you?”Madam You was furious, but she had no choice but to be wary of her reputation in the hearts of others. At this moment, she had completely recovered her dignity as the Madam of the family. Her sharp gaze surveyed the servant girls behind her.
When the servant girls saw their mistress looking over, they all lowered their heads to avoid Madam You's gaze, afraid that they would be the one who was ordered to take care of Third Miss.
After all, Granny Feng was someone who was very close to Madam Yoo. She quietly whispered into Madam's ear,"Lian 'er, this girl's eight characters are heavy. If it was someone else, I'm afraid…" It was not that she was kind enough to plead for Lian 'er, but her own daughter was among the servant girls behind her. She was afraid that her daughter would be chosen. It was not a big deal to enter the sea of bitterness, but it was a big deal to lose her life.
Who in the Gu family didn't know that when Third Miss was born, she was judged by the divinator to have an incomplete soul and was prone to attracting some strange and dirty things. Don't doubt it. Third Miss has had Yin Yang Eyes since she was young and can see things that others can't. However, she is timid and has been scared sick many times since she was young. Don't come over, go away, don't come over! He looked in the direction she was pointing, but there was nothing.
The servants who had served Third Miss since she was young, other than Lian 'er who had eight characters and the nanny who had raised her, the other servants were either scared crazy or died for no reason. Therefore, the servants of the Gu residence privately said that Third Miss's courtyard was the gates of hell. (Voiceover: I hate Dripping!)
