MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 3 look after

  Chapter 3 Caretaker

   After writing the letter to Su Xingze, Su Rong almost died, more tired than fighting with someone.

  Before Wang Ma left, she saw Su Rong slumped on the bed with a tired face, writing a letter, as if she had been moving bricks for a day, she couldn't say a word, "Miss Seven, daggers are murder weapons. When did you start playing with this? If Madam finds out..."

   "Don't tell her, won't she know?" Su Rong sat up and made a gesture of begging for mercy, "I'm just using it for self-defense and scaring people, otherwise I won't have anything to bind... Uh, no, otherwise I have nothing, and I will easily suffer when I fight with others."

   "As far as your skill is concerned, where will you suffer? Ordinary men, three or five can't beat you alone. Don't think that this old slave doesn't know that Mr. Chen is usually accompanied by three or five guards. Under such circumstances, you can beat him like that. Do you think your words are convincing?" Wang Ma said, "Don't fool me."

  Su Rong pointed to her forehead, "But I'm also disfigured."

  She took out the sharp dagger that she had sharpened, "With this thing, as long as I show it, you are generally timid, a coward with a lustful heart but no courage, do you think you still dare to provoke me?"

  Wang Ma nodded, "That's true, but you have to use it carefully, and you must not use it to stab people. Even if the master is a prefect, he still pays attention to the law of the king."

   "I know." Su Rong nodded, motioning her to leave quickly, "I won't use it indiscriminately."

  Wang Ma still wanted to preach a few words, but obviously the little ancestor had run out of patience, so she could only leave without a word.

  Yuewan saw Wang Ma off, closed the door, and approached Su Rong, "Miss, you don't have money to buy a dagger, this dagger looks so expensive, where did you get it?"

   "The reward he gave for saving a person a few days ago."

"who?"

   "Which is the son of the Gaomen mansion! It doesn't look like a local, but he looks like a man from the capital."

   "People in the capital? What's their name? How did you save them?"

   "I didn't ask. He was hunted down. I happened to be fishing in the back of the Town God's Temple outside the city. Seeing that he was being chased pitifully, I used a fishing net to trap the two men who were chasing him. The man simply took the opportunity to turn around and killed them one by one with a sword."

  Yue Wan exclaimed and covered her mouth, "Kill, kill?"

  Su Rong nodded, "Yes, I killed it."

   "Then, what about the person who was killed?"

   "Throw it into the river and float away with the current."

  Yue Wan looked frightened, "That man is so fierce, didn't, didn't he kill you, Miss?"

   "I am his savior, what did he kill me for?" Su Rong had a puzzled expression on his face, "He asked me what I wanted in return. I saw that the dagger on his waist looked good, so I asked for this."

   "This, this is the murderer's stolen goods, how, how can you take it? What if the government finds the body and finds you, miss?" Yue Wan thinks that the miss probably got into trouble again, and seeing the murder scene, the trouble is a bit big.

  Su Rong didn't take it seriously, "There are a lot of murders and corpses thrown away every year, and only my father's study has a thick stack of unresolved cases. The water from the mountain behind the Town God's Temple leads to the Songlin River, and there is no shoal in a radius of a hundred miles. After a hundred miles, when we reach the Songlin River, the area will be huge. Several nearby counties may be drifted to. At that time, it will be included in the file by the government office. Maybe it will be another unresolved case."

  Moon bend: "..."

   There is a lady like this, she finds it a challenge to live with her every day.

  She asked: "Then, what about that person?"

   "Let's go."

  Yuewan asked: "Did you leave Jiangning?"

   "I don't know." Su Rong played with the dagger, "He can go wherever he likes, just give me this dagger."

  Yuewan feels tired.

  Wang Ma took the letter back and showed it to the eldest lady. The eldest lady looked at the letter, which was written in a rake and broom.

  Why Father doesn’t know where to go while he’s on a business trip to be happy, what A Niang has been a little bit angry recently, she loves to get angry and lose her temper. Why is Fifth Sister secretly watching "The Legend of Mandarin Duck", why Sixth Sister's maid has taken a fancy to the boy in the mansion, why the fat cat you raised has grown flesh again, she can't hold it with one hand, and what is Ah Hua's broken dog, every time she comes back from buying roast chicken, it will smell the smell and run to wag its tail at her, and it obviously ate the chicken bones for it, and at night it barks at the gate of her courtyard to make her sleep well, etc.

  Wrote a lot of useless things, and in the end, he didn’t mention his fight and getting into trouble. He only wrote a sentence to tell him not to come back.

  The eldest lady didn't bother to get angry anymore, and scolded: "In these years, the money Xing Ze spent on studying is not as much as she spent on fighting and getting injured and getting into trouble."

   Wang Ma laughed, "Would you write another reply letter? Pass it to the young master together?"

   "I won't write anymore. He will definitely come back within a month. He doesn't care about other people's birthday ceremony, and Xiaoqi's birthday ceremony, he can't be absent." The eldest lady thought of something, and her face was not very good. "I will send a letter to the Duke of the Protectorate to ask if the marriage contract is still counted? Our Xiaoqi will be married soon, if it is counted, it will be carried out according to the agreement, if not counted..."

   She didn't continue to say the following words.

  Wang Ma understood what Da Furen had said, and sighed inwardly, "Send those two letters together?"

  The eldest lady nodded, got up, picked up the pen carefully, wrote a letter to the old protector of the protector's mansion, sealed it with wax, and asked Wang Ma, "The letter sent to the capital is a big deal. Don't go to the post station. Why don't you send someone suitable to go there in person. Who do you say?"

   Wang Ma thought for a while, "Send Li Yan, the son of Steward Li, to go? That kid is appropriate and meticulous, and he followed Steward Li."

  The eldest lady nodded, "Okay, then send him."

  She had someone call Li Yan over, handed him the letter, and explained it to him.

  Li Yan solemnly assured, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely deliver this letter to the old Huguo Gong smoothly."

  The eldest lady nodded, she was still very relieved of Li Yan, and waved him to leave as soon as possible.

  After Li Yan went down, the eldest lady, after thinking about it, told Wang Ma, "For the next half month, you will hold Xiaoqi to recuperate my wounds in the mansion. After half a month, the Duke Huguo's mansion should have a letter. If the Duke Huguo's mansion keeps its promise and sends someone to negotiate marriage, the wound on her forehead hasn't healed yet. How can she see people? How ugly it will be then."

  Wang Ma nodded, "Madam, don't worry, this old slave will definitely take good care of Miss Seven. If it's really not possible, this old slave will move to live in that small courtyard today."

  The eldest lady thinks this is a good idea, "Okay, you can move in with her. Fortunately, she still has a fear. She used to be afraid of Xing Ze, but now she is afraid of you, otherwise the world will be turned upside down."

  Wang Ma laughed, "To put it bluntly, Miss Seven is still afraid of the son, and she is not afraid of the old slave without the son to stand up to her."

  The eldest lady was in a complicated mood, "What's the use of being afraid? You can't stare at her every day."

  She sighed, "What an evil!"

  So, on that day, the two letters were sent away together, one to Yunshan Academy and the other to the capital.

  That night, Wang Ma moved to Su Rong's courtyard.

  Su Rong watched with boredom as she moved all her things into the small room in the crescent moon, "Mother Wang, what are you doing? Come to my house as a guest?"

   "Yes, Miss Seven, Madam said, I will watch over your recovery for the next half month, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Madam asked someone to raise the top of the wall by another three feet."

  Su Rong twitched the corner of her mouth, "The wall should be higher, so that it doesn't collapse and hit people."

   "Don't worry, it won't. We still use the best masons in Jiangning to build a wall as high as a city wall, and it won't collapse."

  Su Rong: "..."

  She wanted to say that she could also climb over the city wall, and her mother was too naive.

   Looking at Su Rong's expression, Wang Ma seemed to have thought of this too. Her face froze, and she said helplessly, "Whose eldest lady is like our eldest lady. She really doesn't have any majesty in front of you. Don't be angry with her anymore. If you get really angry, how can you explain to the young master?"

  Su Rong rubbed the soles of his shoes, and muttered, "It's not my fault. If my mother punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall, my elder brother would stop me. If my mother punished me for copying books, my father would stop me. If my mother punished me for beating someone for the first time, my mother said it was good. If a **** bullies a little girl, he should be beaten."

   Wang Ma: "..."

   Yes, it's all someone else's fault.

  Who told you to be so cute when you were a child? You are white and tender, like a small dumpling, who is willing to punish you? The eldest lady is just pretending to show off. I didn't expect you to grow up like this year after year. The madam's intestines are probably green, and the master is too late to regret it. The son should be fine. After all, in the eyes of the son, you are fine no matter what.

   "Hey, don't go out if you don't go out! Anyway, it's too hot outside now, it's better to be cool at home." Su Rong quickly accepted Wang Ma to live in.

  Yue Wan was very happy, "Mother Wang, it's great that you live here. If you keep an eye on Miss, she won't run out. Every time she leaves me and runs out alone, I'm bored and can only talk to Ah Hua."

  Wang Ma snorted, "You and Ah Hua ate the same food that Miss Seven brought back from outside, and they both got fat."

  Yue Wan was terrified, touched her face, and her belly, "I'm not, I'm not as fat as Ah Hua, am I?"

   At most, her face is a little rounder, and she only weighs more than Miss, so...how many catties?

   Wang Ma had an expression of "you said it yourself", turned around and made the bed and folded the quilt neatly.

  Yue Wan was startled by her eyes, she hurried to look in the mirror, after a while, she threw the mirror and went to Su Rong again, "Miss, am I as fat as Ah Hua?"

  Su Rong looked at her round face, "Fat is a blessing."

   "I don't want it." Yue Wan shook her head, "Miss, I will never eat the food you bought from outside again, you are too bad, you purposely fatten me and Ah Hua, so that you are thinner and more beautiful than yourself."

  Su Rong was speechless, "Am I as good as that? The food I brought back for you, except for the fish I netted myself, don't you need money for roast chicken and cakes?"

  Yue Wan nodded, "That's right." She tapped her head and asked a puzzled question, "You eat with us, why haven't you gained weight?"

   "Because I exercise every day." Su Rong gave her a white look, "You and Ah Hua are so lazy. One holds a drawing book and reads it all day, and the other spends a whole day lying in the sun without even catching mice."

   "Forget about it, the mouse doesn't bother to stretch its beard." Yue Wan froze, "Is there still time for me to exercise now?"

   "It's too late, you eat less every day and run more." Su Rong lay back on the bed and played with a dagger, "After running for a year, you will lose weight, the kind that will collapse when the wind blows."

  Moon bend: "..."

  She is not the kind who really wants to fall when the wind blows.

   [Favorite] + [Message] Oh, I love you, see you tomorrow!
