Chapter 386: Master Gu's Might!

eral young men, not trusting their sister, followed the Marquis to the neighboring place.The Lord ordered his personal guard to saddle horses for the children and keep them entertained for a while.The...She made a firm decision to stop being a follower and honestly stay home instead.

Thankfully, at this time, Madam Cui arrived.

The two carriages in front and back, as always, were loaded with chicken, fish, meat, eggs and a whole bunch of other things.

"Jin Rou, didn't I tell you to just come for the festival Why did you bring so much stuff!" Old Madam Li scolded playfully. "We have good things at home, it would be better to sell some and make more money! You study a lot, we can't learn from those aloof scholars. Silver is always a good thing, especially when you're living your own life, having more money gives you confidence."

"Understood, Mother," Mrs. Cui replied, taking the old woman's arm.

She smiled and listened to Old Li's chatter, not getting angry at all but rather feeling very happy.

She was an orphan, living alone on the farm. It was only when she came to the Li family's house that she could hear such nagging, which felt particularly kind.

"Aunt, you know our house only has me. Anything I cook just doesn't taste as good. If you bring some over, and through Hongying's hands, I can even be lazy and eat ready-made food."

"Hong Ying is too busy to cook. They all went to the city today. The eldest son's restaurant opens tomorrow, and they all went to help." As she spoke, the old woman pulled Mrs. Cui inside.

Mrs. Cui instinctively reached out to grab Jia Yin, causing her pain and a cry.

The old woman only then remembered, and was so frightened that she almost fell. She quickly squatted down to check her granddaughter's injured hand. There were no bloodstains visible, but she was still not at ease, and called Shui Ling to hurry and find Zhang Shenyi.

Madam Cui was terrified, "Funiu... what happened to your hand Who hurt the child like this!"

Old Lady Li sighed and called her granddaughter, Jia Yin, into the house. Then she told them everything that had happened.

Mrs. Cui was both heartbroken and angry, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, Zhang Shini came soon. He opened the bandage and took a look. The wound hadn't cracked open and was healing well.

He couldn't help but brag, “I told you, suturing is the best way! Look, it’s only been a few days and the wound is already healing. In another five or six days, we won't even need to bandage it!”

Mrs. Cui held Jia Yin in her arms, not daring to open her eyes to look at the hideous wound. "Such a small child, how could she suffer such a great injustice!"

If she could, she would take Fu Niu's place and bear the pain immediately.

Unfortunately, if that were the case, it wouldn't be her turn. Everyone in the Li family, young and old, would be willing.

Zhang Shenyi reapplied the medicine, bandaged it up, and then went off to spread word of his "great achievements," leaving everyone wondering where he would go next.

Mrs. Cui held Jiayin tightly, refusing to let go for a moment.

Although she was married, she had no children. She really loved Jia Yin, this chubby girl, like her own daughter.

Sometimes, her pain and confusion were things she couldn't share with anyone, nor could she put into words.

But holding the chubby little girl and listening to her baby voice coos, all worries seemed to disappear.

It's only been a few days, and such a good child has become like this!

She's so angry, she doesn't know where to vent.

It's a coincidence that Mrs. Li happened to come today to collect things.

Perhaps the Sun family treated their servants well, because she was no longer as dirty and unkempt as before.

She had somehow gotten into a new, knee-length cotton dress with embroidered flowers. Her hair was neatly combed, and she looked clean, crisp, and full of energy.

After entering, she didn't even glance at Jia Yin's wounded hand. She merely bowed to Old Madam Li and said, "Old Madam, I am deeply grateful for your kindness in sheltering me before. Now that our young mistress has been adopted by Master Tang, we will have someone to rely on from now on."

"I've come today to get some things back and I was hoping Master would help me buy some farmland and shops. Master works in the government office, so these kinds of arrangements would be easy for him."

Before Old Lady Li could respond, Madam Cui was already angry. "Who are you, a servant What rules did you learn Since you're so grateful, why are you coming empty-handed The Li family took you in and helped you find your relatives. Don't you even think it's worth bringing some snacks"

Besides, you’ve hurt Fú Niúr terribly like this. As soon as you entered the door, all you wanted was things, didn't you even ask a single word

Li Saozi's face was flushed red from being embarrassed. When she came out, Lord Tang really gave her silver to buy things.

But she didn't want to spend it, thinking of taking the things first and talking about it later.

Also, Fu Niuer's hand, kids playing and wrestling got hurt, can't blame them entirely...

She thought about this for a moment, then retorted, "I came here in a hurry and didn't expect so many people. Besides, Mrs. Li didn't say anything, so who are you"

Then Mrs. Cui waited for her like this, and immediately shouted, "Shut your mouth!"

Qiong's wife, who had been standing silently at the back, almost dashed forward two steps and slapped Li's wife twice.

Li Saozi's eyes were full of stars as she was knocked down to the ground.

Li Saozi's head was buzzing, she didn't react at all for a moment, and couldn't understand how she got beaten!

Mrs. Cui ignored her and turned to Li, the elderly woman, saying: "Elder sister-in-law, you're kind to consider our past relationship, but this kind of troublesome servant needs to be disciplined!"

"You have a prior relationship with Mrs. Sun, but I don't! Today's matter, I must speak to the Sun family about it. Otherwise, if they continue to let servants like this who are so undisciplined run around, I fear they will cause trouble for the Sun family without even knowing it!"

Having said that, she called out to He Ma Ma, "Where is this wretched servant Bring her here. Let Qiao Gezi accompany you to the Sun Residence and make things clear!"

Seeing that Old Lady Li nodded, Grandmother He quickly turned and entered the house.

Quickly, Grandma He brought out a big package. Sister Qiong immediately pulled Sister Li out!

Mrs. Li panicked. She hadn't told her master and mistress about the matter with the Li family. She only said that her mistress had helped them when they were in trouble at the Li residence.

She also wanted to use the Li family's reputation to give them some support in the future!

"Elder Madam, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!" Li Ma begged for forgiveness.

Unfortunately, Qiao's mother was impatient. With a single chop of her hand, she cut across the woman's neck, silencing her completely!

The Cui family's carriage arrived quickly and departed swiftly, disappearing from the village in the blink of an eye.

Jia Yin's eyes widened. If she hadn't injured her hand, she would have clapped enthusiastically for Madam Cui.

It's incredibly powerful and imposing!

"Master, Master, you're amazing!"

Mrs. Cui found it amusing and gently pinched the girl's chubby cheeks, saying reproachfully, "Where did your usual cleverness go To be bullied like this by a little girl! You should have fought back right then and there!"

"Even though everyone in the house is an adult, you shouldn't take advantage of someone younger. But you're a child too! Fight back! Nobody can say it's wrong!"

"Hee hee!" Jia Yin smirked with her eyes closed, showing a row of white teeth. She didn't know how to answer.

She was a child, but her soul was that of an adult. When she looked at girls a few years younger than her, she always subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate to treat them as equals...

Lady Cui was helpless. She hugged Fu'er, then turned to Lady Li, "Auntie, our family is now an Earl's mansion, and Fu'er is a county princess. You are a first-rank誥命夫人, you must put on airs."

"Whoever you find displeasing, whoever speaks unpleasantly to you, beat them up if you must. Don't be soft-hearted. Not everyone understands rules or has a conscience; most of them are shameless and take advantage of others. You need to step on them, and they will then respect and fear you."r their daily displays of affection. The Li family was used to it, but outsiders found it both enviable and strange.After all, this love thing is too embarrassing to talk about. Even if you feel it, n...
