Chapter 007-Vicious Servant Coming to the Door to Humiliate (7/10!)
In the Tang Duke Manor outside Daxing City.
Li Yuan's manor was located outside Daxing City. From afar, it looked like a village.
In fact, this place was more or less a village. The people living here were all slaves of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang.
Thousands of people lived here, forming a small village.
When it was close to noon, a young girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old in plain clothes bounced and pushed open the door of a straw hut.
"Mother, mother, I've heard news about Brother Li Xian. Brother Li Xian personally beheaded the King of Goguryeo and rendered a great service!”
The young girl's skin was fair. Even though she was wearing coarse clothes, it was difficult to hide her pure and beautiful aura.
A middle-aged woman was sitting in the courtyard of the straw hut, sewing clothes.
Beside the woman was a pile of clothes waiting to be starched.
There was a large pile of books waiting to be copied on the stone table not far away.
These were all women's jobs. It was by relying on these jobs that the women raised Li Xian and her daughter.
"Ling 'er, how many times have I told you? You're already a big girl, you can't be so crazy anymore.”The middle-aged woman smiled kindly, and the corners of her wrinkled eyes were filled with love.
The young girl smiled happily and came to the woman's side.""Mother, I'm not worried about not being able to get married. If I can't get married, I'll just rely on Brother Li Xian to eat, drink, and live in his house. Anyway, he has done a great service this time and will become a high official in the future. Mother, we don't have to suffer anymore.”
Zhang Chuchen put down the needle and thread in his hand and gently stroked his daughter's hair with his calloused hands.
"Mother knows that sooner or later, your Older Brother Xian will be able to make a name for himself.”
More than ten years ago, when Li Xian was sent here, he was still a young child. His eyes were filled with vigilance.
She did not know why a child would be like this.
However, the human heart would always melt. In the past ten years, Zhang Chuchen had raised him with his own hands. Although he was not his own child, he was already better than his own.
"Your Brother Li Xian will probably return to the capital soon. At that time, our family will be able to reunite.”Zhang Chuchen gently stroked his daughter's hair.
The girl smiled happily and nodded.
"The person inside, get out!"
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, an angry shout suddenly interrupted the warm scene.
Hearing the voice outside, Zhang Chuchen frowned."Ling 'er, don't go out. Mother will go and take a look.”
"Mother, let's go together." Ling 'er also stood up.
" Don't worry." Zhang Chuchen shook his head." It's alright. Don't go out."”
"The people inside, did you hear that? I told you to get out quickly. The Head Butler is here!”
Shouts sounded outside the hut again.
Butler Ma, who was scolded by Li Yuan and almost killed in the city, was standing there angrily.
Squeak!
The door of the thatched cottage was pushed open from the inside, and Zhang Chuchen walked out.
"Butler Ma, may I know why you're looking for us?”When Zhang Chuchen saw the seven or eight handymen outside, he knew that they had come with ill intentions.
"What is it?" Butler Ma said fiercely,"I was almost killed by your family today!" What else? Men, arrest this woman and the one in the room.”
Ma Ji waved his hand and commanded the slaves around him to step forward.
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Chuchen took a step back and closed the door.""Butler Ma, our family has never provoked trouble, nor have we provoked you. What's wrong with you? Could it be that they think that we orphans and widows are easy to bully?”
The noise quickly attracted the neighbors.
Some people hid far away to see what was happening.
"It's true that you guys didn't cause any trouble, but that little bastard you raised isn't honest. Today, I almost died because of him.”
"As slaves of the Li Residence, they actually dared to slip away without permission. This is a serious crime. Men, take these two b * tches down first!”Ma Ji said fiercely.
Under his command, five or six handymen holding sentry sticks rushed forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as the errand boy rushed up, two cold lights flashed in the courtyard.
Then, a girl jumped onto the wall."I want to see who dares to hurt my mother."
Ling 'er stood on the mud wall with flying knives in both hands.
"Ling 'er." Zhang Chuchen turned to look at his daughter.
"Mother, don't worry. If anyone dares to hurt you today, Ling 'er will fight them to the death!”
The two daggers stabbed into the ground flickered with a cold light, and the few handymen were a little afraid.
"How dare you fight back? Go on, capture them and send them to the yamen!”Ma Ji shouted loudly.
However, due to the power of the throwing knives, no one dared to go forward.
"Humph!" Ling 'er lifted her chin proudly.
Rumble!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
When the crowd behind heard the sound of hooves, they all made way.
Zhang Chuchen's expression suddenly became nervous when he saw the people on horseback.""Ling 'er, if we fight later, don't care about anything else and run away from here immediately, do you hear me?”
"Third Young Master!"
"Third Young Master!"
When Ma Ji saw who it was, he hurriedly nodded and bowed.
Li Yuanji rode on his horse and looked at Ling 'er on the low wall and the woman blocking the door of the straw hut.
