Then he could only let Jinniang hold on for a while and see if there was any improvement tomorrow.
Xiao Ling gave a few more instructions to not wear makeup. However, when he turned around, he saw Yi Yu opening her mouth as if she did not know if she should say anything.
Xiao Ling's heart skipped a beat. He said to Yiyu,""Are you tired today?"
Yi Yu nodded.
"Then go back and have a good rest. I'm sure you're tired from having you serve Jinniang. Go to the kitchen in a while and cook some small dishes. Just say that I asked for it.”Xiao Ling got down from the soft couch and found a bangle of average quality to put on Yi Yu.""In the future, you will be a second-class servant girl in the courtyard. If you have any grievances, just look for me.”
There were two senior maids, two second-class maids, and four rudimentary maids in the courtyard. However, ever since Xiao Ling was reborn, he had never categorized the maids in the courtyard.
Yi Yu blushed when she saw how kind Xiao Ling was. She was touched that Xiao Ling had personally put the bracelet on her. She did not think too much about it and said,""Miss, I saw a lotus flower at Jinniang's door today.”
Then, he lowered his head in shame."I don't know what Lotus is going to do, but I don't dare to offend Lotus. This servant was bought from outside and doesn't know many people.”
What he meant was that he was afraid of being bullied.
Xiao Ling knew what to do, so he patted Yi Yu's hand. Yi Yu understood and turned to leave.
"Miss?"
Her eyes were still red, probably because her heart ached at the thought of Jinniang.
"Where did this lotus come from?" Xiao Ling sat down on the soft couch again, but his heart sank little by little.
His hand was already on her body. He really wasn't afraid of death.
"It's the servant girls in the courtyard. Young Lady didn't give the servant girls a rank. Other than Jinniang and me, the rest of the servant girls are free. That Lotus is a branch of Granny Wang's family, but Granny Wang likes her very much, so she's a little domineering and always oppresses other servant girls.”
Su Yan thought for a moment and said,"She's someone who can order people around."”
Xiao Ling was puzzled, but he still straightened his back and put the teacup on the other side. He then turned around and instructed Su Yan,""Go and call all the maids in the courtyard over.”
Su Yan was puzzled, but she still did as she was told.
A few moments later, a group of maids gathered in Xiao Ling's room. How many of them were rough maids and did not bow very formally? There were two who did not understand and kept looking around.
"Do you know the rules?" Su Yan frowned and said.
The group of maids also became obedient.
They had been kneeling the entire time. If Xiao Ling did not speak, they naturally could not get up.
After kneeling for a while, other than those who did the manual labor, the other girls were all covered in cold sweat.
"You've been with my courtyard for some time now.”" I've been too lazy to do anything in the yard," Xiao Ling said after a long while." I forgot to rank you."”
As soon as Xiao Ling said that, the servant girl on her knees was tempted.
The servant girls all knew that although it was just a name, it was very different when used.
"Young lady, this servant is Granny Wang's niece, her name is Lotus.”The lotus suddenly raised her head with a smile on her face, looking like an obedient servant girl.
However, she had already crossed the line. If Master didn't say anything, how could it be her turn?
It was just that she was still delicate and pretty, and her face was not bad.
As he spoke, the lotus flower moved. Perhaps because it had been kneeling for a long time, its legs had gone soft.
Xiao Ling just looked at her without saying anything.
After a while, Xiao Ling looked up and appointed Yi Yu and a seemingly honest servant girl as second-class maids. The remaining four would be rough servants.
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the lotus's face turned pale. When it looked up at Xiao Ling, it was filled with resentment.
Xiao Ling's gaze was fixed on her face.
The lotus looked at Xiao Ling and realized that it had crossed the line. It immediately lowered its head again, but it could not hide its resentment.
The servant girl who was appointed as a second-class servant girl was also very happy, but she did not dare to show it. Xiao Ling waved his hand, and she was the first to bow to Yiyu and leave.
However, the lotus flower was slow all the way until it reached the end. Xiao Ling sneered as he looked at it. It was not until the lotus flower was about to step out of the threshold that he whispered,""Wait."
Lotus immediately slowed down, but she still turned around and bowed."Young Lady, what's the matter?"
"Did you go to see Jinniang today?" Xiao Ling looked at her indifferently.”
Lotus was shocked.
She originally wanted to deny it, but when she thought about how she had met Yi Yu today and how Yi Yu had been made a servant today, she gritted her teeth in hatred. She could not deny it even if she wanted to.
"Yes."
"Have you seen Jinniang's current appearance?”
Xiao Ling stared at her.”
Lotus panicked when she saw Xiao Ling's expression change, but she still lowered her head and said,""Young Lady, what are you saying? This servant does not understand."
Xiao Ling stared at her and sneered.""Do you think no one knows what you did? It was like this the day before yesterday. I didn't drink that cup of ginseng soup, and it was hard on Jinniang. Today, you deliberately harmed Jinniang. Do you really think I'm blind?”
Hearing this, Lotus's back stiffened, but she still forced herself to say,""This servant does not know what Young Lady is talking about.”
"You're really not afraid of death. I just don't know how this poison will taste when it falls on you!”
Lotus's face was a little flustered." Miss, this servant is only going to see Jinniang. This servant really doesn't know!"”
"You don't know?" Xiao Ling stared at her, and a strange smile appeared on his face.""But Jin Niang knows. If you are not afraid of being seduced by Jin Niang in the middle of the night, you can go back and rest well. Let's see if your good sister can die for you.”
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Lotus really could not take it anymore. It turned out that the lady knew everything!
"Miss, I don't know anything, really. Lian Cui just came to me and asked me to give you something. Seeing that you didn't eat, he asked me to give Jinniang something.”
Xiao Ling's expression was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
As expected.
This Lian Cui was a disaster. She remembered from her previous life that Lian Cui was also a relative of Granny Wang. Presumably, Lian Cui had some relatives with Lotus. She did not expect that she would be able to find out after trying it out.
He didn't know if this matter had anything to do with Granny Wang. Moreover, why did Granny Wang encounter such a thing in the General's Estate today?
After Lotus finished speaking, she realized what was going on. She knelt down in front of Xiao Ling with tears in her eyes."Young lady, young lady, listen to me. Yes, it was Lian Cui who begged me to teach you a lesson. He also said that he wanted to break your claws and teeth. It has nothing to do with me!”
Su Yan, who was standing at the side, was a ruthless person. When she saw the lotus pounce on her, she simply kicked it and said,"Do you really think that Young Lady is stupid? You said it was fine, but you went offline twice? You almost killed Jin Niang!"
That's right, their sisterly love was so deep that they wanted to eat this lotus.
Xiao Ling held a cup of tea, took a cold sip, and looked at her coldly.""You keep saying that it was Lian Cui who instructed you, then what did Lian Cui instruct you to do?”
Just these few words alone would not be enough to point him out. Moreover, she was Xiao Xun's woman. A slight change in one hair would affect the whole body. He should not be rash. The servant girl looked smart. If she went back on her words in court, he would not be able to get anything good from the old lady.
"Miss, Lian Cui has no other instructions.”The lotus hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes and smashed the hot tea in his hand on the lotus's head!
Lotus cried out in surprise. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes, but she still knelt on the ground and pleaded with Xiao Ling,""Third Young Lady, this servant really didn't know that the poison was so serious and only thought that it was a small matter of diarrhea.”
Xiao Ling's expression was calm, but his voice was slightly cold. Who knew how many things this lotus had done for others in secret? Otherwise, how could he have poisoned her so easily in such a short period of time?
Lotus was shocked by Xiao Ling's stare, and her mind cleared up a little. She struggled to raise two fingers and said,""This servant, this servant has never done such an outrageous thing before. Please examine this matter clearly and show mercy!”
After saying that, Lotus gritted her teeth and kowtowed when she saw that Xiao Ling was still indifferent.
She could not be sent away!
Miss Chen had spent a lot of effort to place her by Xiao Ling's side just to keep an eye on him. She could only blame her for being careless and accepting the bribe. She had thought that everything would be fine, but now she was gravely mistaken!
The sound of the skull hitting the ground made the entire room seem empty.
Xiao Ling looked at her with a frown.'I can't keep this girl alive, but it'll take some effort to deal with her.'
As for Lian Crisp, he had to deal with it secretly.
As for Lotus, who had been kowtowing all this while, her head was bruised and bleeding, but she still refused to stop. To be so ruthless to herself, she must be a ruthless character.
Xiao Ling took another cup of hot tea to moisten his throat. He looked up at her."Get up."
Only then did the lotus finally stop moving. Blood was already seeping out of her forehead. She struggled to get up from the ground and did not dare to look at Xiao Ling. She lowered her head and said,""Please forgive me."
"Your actions can avoid death, but you can't escape punishment.”As Xiao Ling spoke, a faint smile appeared on his lips.""In the end, it's a matter of my courtyard. I don't plan to tell Furen about you. Recently, I heard that there are always rats in the nunnery hall behind. You can take two considerate servant girls to clean the nunnery hall behind. When you're done, you can come back.”
