Ji Chengjun looked on without batting an eyelid. This sentence was obviously a message to the master in the room! It seemed that some of the servants in the Duke of Song Mansion really couldn't tell who was the real master.
Gu Xianxiang's personal maid, Chun Xiang, quickly came out to welcome her with a flattering smile on her face,""Young miss, quickly enter the house. The wind in the courtyard is strong.”
"Is Sister Xianxiang still unconscious in bed?”Ji Chengjun's face was filled with worry, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.
Haruka's tears instantly filled her eyes as she pinched her handkerchief and said pitifully,""Young Lady had just stepped into the room yesterday when she fainted on the ground, scaring the servants. He also invited a doctor to take a look. He said that she had a severe cold. Even if she woke up, she would need to nourish herself for a month.”
Ji Chengjun sized up the furnishings in the room. The high-quality chicken wing wooden bed was carved with delicate patterns, and the silk curtains were embroidered with begonia flowers. All the furniture did not seem expensive, and it was low-key and restrained.
It could be seen that the master who lived in the house had a delicate heart. He would not be said to have crossed the line, nor would he be looked down upon by the servants who served him.
Her gaze fell on the two fluffy embroidered shoes that were placed messily by the bed, and she laughed coldly in her heart. According to Gu Xianxiang's cautious personality, how could the servant maids under her not be able to handle such a small matter!
It seemed that he had just climbed into bed after hearing the servant girl's words!
There was a translucent green curtain hanging on the bed, and one could vaguely see the figure lying on it. Ji Chengjun's hands clenched into fists uncontrollably. He wished he could immediately pounce forward and strangle this hypocritical and vicious woman.
There was no fire in the room, and the cold air seeped into the room, but she could not feel the slightest warmth. The servant girl did not even pour her a cup of warm tea.
A cold glint flashed across Ji Chengjun's eyes. He suddenly picked up the blue-and-white porcelain vase on the shelf and threw it on the ground. "There's no fire in the room," he said furiously."How can the maids serve us?!" Sister Xianxiang has not recovered from her serious illness, so how could she be affected by the cold? Don't think that just because Sister Xianxiang isn't Father's flesh and blood, you servants don't put her in your eyes. Sister Xianxiang can tolerate your insolence, but I, the dignified Di daughter of the High Duke's Public House, cannot!”
These words were deliberately said for Gu Xianxiang to hear, to make it clear that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Song's estate and that she, Gu Xianxiang, was just an outsider. At the same time, he gave the servant girls a warning. Don't forget who the master was. Ji Chengjun knew that Gu Xianxiang might even want to get up and strangle her to death after he said that.
The servant girls looked at each other, but they did not think much of it. They were the people who served Master Gu in the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard. How could they be casually punished by others?
"Nanny, the servant girls of the Lotus Fragrance Court do not distinguish between high and low, and do not abide by their duties. According to the family rules, how should we deal with them?”Ji Chengjun said sternly. His eyes were burning as he stared at Granny Li.
Granny Li was shocked, but she was someone who had lived in the residence for more than ten years, so she understood immediately. Although he didn't understand why his master had flared up, he still said coldly with an expressionless face,""You should reward me with rouge and sell me off to a brothel!”
Carmine was a palm-sized bamboo piece that was used to fan one's face. It was as red as snow, as if it was applied with rouge.
" Young Miss, I won't do it again..." Chun Xiang quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy while trembling. The other maidservants in the Hexiang courtyard also followed suit and knelt down.
Ji Chengjun closed his eyes and opened his mouth lightly.”
Granny Li approached with the bamboo piece. The bamboo piece slapped Chun Xiang's delicate skin, and her face turned red and swollen after a few hits.
Yue Hong watched from the side, trembling with fear. Only then did she realize that she was a slave. She was also puzzled as to why Ji Chengjun did not act up when he was scalded.
Chun Xiang somehow managed to push Granny Li away, causing her to stumble. She pounced on the bed and grabbed the bed curtain, crying at Gu Xianxiang,"Master Gu, quickly get up and save this servant. This servant is loyal to you and has never served you inappropriately. Please, the young miss wants to sell us to the brothel to become prostitutes.”
Ji Chengjun remained calm and collected, his hands tucked in his wide sleeves. She wanted to see if Gu Xianxiang would be so angry that she would jump out of bed.
Everyone thought that every word she said earlier was for Gu Xianxiang's sake. Because her personal maid Chun Xiangnu had bullied her master, she was so angry that she punished the evil servant.
" Master Gu, please save this servant. Chun Xiang is begging you…" Chun Xiang shook Gu Xianxiang's body crazily. As Gu Xianxiang's most capable right-hand man, she knew that the so-called coma was just an act.
"Cough cough…water…water." A delicate and slightly hoarse female voice sounded.
Gu Xianxiang's fox-like eyes were half-opened, her thin lips were cracked, and she looked very weak. Her beautiful oval face was pale, and with a straight nose that was as sharp as a knife, she looked delicate and pitiful, making one's heart ache just by looking at her.
Chun Xiang was overjoyed as if she had found a life-saving straw. She poured some water and brought it to her lips. She secretly glanced at the people in the room and squeezed out a few tears."Master, you finally woke up. This servant was worried sick about you.”
Gu Xianxiang took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. Then, she revealed an expression of surprise as if she had just realized that there were a few more people in the room."Sister Chengjun, why are you here?”
The corners of Ji Chengjun's stiff mouth twitched. His hands that were hidden in his sleeves clenched his palms tightly. He used the pain in his palms to forcefully suppress the overflowing hatred. She tried her best to squeeze out words that might disgust her."I heard that Sister Xianxiang had not woken up for a long time after fainting, so I was anxious and came to visit her early.”
