Shuanghong was brought by Lingyu to the courtyard where the servants lived. Because Shuanghong was struggling along the way, there was a lot of noise.
At this time, the servants have completed the whole day's work. Except for the vigilant guards and the servants who need to be on duty in various yards, everyone else has returned here to prepare for rest.
So after noticing the movement outside, many people stuck their heads out to watch.
However, when they saw that one of the two people was Shuang Hong, who was looked down upon by the Marquis, and the other was the maid next to Gu Baiyu, the head of the house, they all unanimously chose not to get involved in this muddy water.
But despite this, he didn't even think about resting, and instead pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on outside.
They also want to know what will happen in the Hou Mansion in the future.
Gu Baiyu had just entered the mansion, and it was obvious to everyone that Xiao Yanlin valued her. Today, they even heard that the old housekeeper had handed over the housekeeping authority to Gu Baiyu.
Admittedly, they all guessed that Gu Baiyu would definitely speak her mind in the future in this prince's mansion, but they also wanted to see what the temper of this new master and the people around her was like, and they also wanted to be more careful in the future, so as not to offend the madam.
Outside the house, Lingyu had let go of Shuanghong. Her hair was a little messy because of the hunger struggle just now, and she looked at Lingyu angrily.
"Isn't what I just said wrong? Didn't Madam get entangled with the second master before she got married? Didn't Madam abandon her younger brother and marry her elder brother? How can a woman who is so careless and weak-minded be worthy of the Marquis?!"
She spoke with great assurance, and the more she spoke, the more annoyed she became, as if in her eyes, Gu Baiyu had become a monster like Daji Baosi, who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Why wouldn't Lingyu be angry when she heard such words?
"Don't talk nonsense! It was the second master's wishful thinking before, and the madam has already drawn a clear line with him. Where did you hear this? Forget it, no matter where you heard it from, it was just one-sided. The madam had a relationship with the second master in the past. I have already told the Marquis about everything. Now that the second master has married Aunt Gu, the Marquis himself has not pursued it further, so what do you want to do!"
"That's because the Marquis was blinded for a moment!"
Lingyu laughed angrily: "That's none of your business. What position do you have to say such a thing? My wife is from a famous family, dignified and virtuous, and she has the same heart as the Marquis. They are not suitable. Who can match the Marquis? You are worthy." ?"
Lingyu still remembers Shuanghong breaking the medicine bowl and looking at Xiao Yanlin with tears in her eyes. She was really thoughtful. The Marquis pitied her for being helpless, but she had such thoughts!
Lingyu stared hard at Shuanghong's eyes, trying to see the greed and ambition in her eyes, or the anger after being exposed. However, Lingyu was disappointed this time.
Shuanghong's expression did change, but it wasn't the emotion she thought.
After hearing Lingyu's words "Are you worthy?", Shuanghong's eyes widened with disbelief on her face, as if she had heard some extremely shocking speculation.
Lingyu vaguely felt that something was not right, but when he looked at Shuanghong again, he had already retracted the emotion on his face.
At the same time, footsteps were heard outside the door. Lingyu looked up and saw that it was Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yan arriving.
Gu Baiyu had just waited for a while but didn't see Lingyu come back. She felt a little worried, so Xiao Yanlin simply brought her here.
Just when I walked to the door, I heard Lingyu's words "Are you worthy?" In front of Xiao Yanlin, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Why did this girl speak so straightforwardly?
The two people who had just been confronting also saw the arrival of Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu, stopped their argument, and saluted them.
The servants who were hiding in the house quickly came out and saw the two masters.
When Xiao Yanlin arrived, the room was filled with silence. Before Lingyu could report what happened, Xiao Yanlin raised his hand to stop her from talking.
"No matter what the reason is, disrespecting the mistress is a violation of the Marquis's plan. Go to the housekeeper to get the punishment yourself."
"Also," Xiao Yanlin looked at Shuanghong with a very calm expression: "My wife and I are in love, and we don't need anyone to comment. If anyone else has such thoughts, then go to the housekeeper to get the sale contract as soon as possible. Leave the Hou Mansion."
Shuanghong bit her lower lip. He knew that Xiao Yanlin was really angry.
Xiao Yanlin knew clearly that she was not afraid of any punishment. What she was afraid of was that the Hou Mansion no longer needed her.
Shuanghong knelt on the ground and lowered her head deeply: "I know this."
Xiao Yanlin was silent, so she lowered her head and did not dare to get up. After a moment, a pair of small boots stopped in front of Shuanghong.
Gu Baiyu looked down at the beautiful woman kneeling on the ground and said nothing for a long time.
Shuanghong could feel scrutinizing eyes falling on the top of her head, and an indescribable pressure rose in her heart. She felt that she was right. Everything she did was for Xiao Yanlin, but in front of Gu Baiyu, Gu Baiyu's That kind of natural noble temperament made it impossible for her to say any unpleasant words in front of Gu Baiyu, as if those words would dirty Gu Baiyu's ears.
Shuanghong still lowered her head, waiting for Gu Baiyu's rebuke or humiliation.
However, Gu Baiyu just said lightly: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Shuang Hong raised her head and looked at Gu Baiyu for the first time: "I don't know!"
Gu Baiyu smiled softly without getting angry: "Since you don't know, I'll tell you."
"It is disloyal to speculate on the master's thoughts and question the master's decisions; to discuss the master's rights and wrongs in private, in full view of the public, and regardless of whether what you say is right or wrong, it will harm the reputation of the Marquis and the Marquis House. , this is unjust."
"You keep saying that you are thinking about the Marquis, so why do you do such unfaithful and unjust things? Do you know that if you dare to question this marriage in front of everyone today, tomorrow someone will question the Hou Mansion and the Marquis. Your identity It’s special, even if you say that, have you ever thought about what others will think of the Marquis and the Prince’s Palace?”
Gu Baiyu's voice was not harsh, but Shuanghong could not refute: "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can tell me face to face. Talking behind people's back like this is what ungentlemen do. You must know that many things are caused by words. , the punishment of the rod will be waived, and the fine will be twenty slaps on the mouth, and the monthly payment will be suspended for three months. From now on, I will remember to be careful in my words and deeds."
This punishment was much lighter than Shuanghong imagined. She was still unconvinced, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while. Instead, she thought of what Gu Baiyu said, and she might provoke outsiders to treat Hou because of her words. The government's criticism made me feel regretful.
Gu Baiyu could see her regret clearly, and she did not intend to pursue it further, letting Shuanghong think about it on her own.
"Okay, today's matter is over."
Xiao Yanlin also spoke at the right time: "In the future, with Madam taking care of you, you won't have to be on duty in the main courtyard anymore."
Xiao Yanlin made the final decision and decided Shuanghong's future life.
At this point, the matter has come to an end for the time being. The servants who have been listening with their ears pricked up have their own thoughts in their hearts.
It seems that the Marquis really values his wife, and she is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and her actions are really convincing.
After the dispute ended, Lingyu followed Gu Baiyu and prepared to return to the main courtyard.
Walking to the door of the main courtyard, Gu Baiyu suddenly said: "You will also be fined a month."
Lingyu opened her eyes wide: "Madam!"
"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, please tell me first. Also, if you want to deal with people, there are many other ways. Why do you have to do it yourself? Are you making a fuss today, afraid that others will not know that you are a bitch?"
Lingyu pursed her lips: "I'm not just trying to vent my anger on Madam..."
Gu Baiyu nodded and took out a piece of silver from his purse: "Yes, I know. Take it as a reward for loyally protecting the Lord."
Lingyu looked at the big ingot in her hand and burst into tears. She only had half a tael of silver a month. Madam is indeed a sharp-tongued but a tofu-hearted person!
Xiao Yanlin looked at the master and servant from the side and found it interesting.
It seemed that Gu Baiyu did not regard Lingyu as a human being at all, but rather as a younger sister teaching her.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanlin also took out a piece of silver from his wallet: "A reward for standing up for my wife."
Lingyu only felt that she had been enlightened by the God of Wealth today, and she was so happy that she didn't know how to get to know him well. She looked at Xiao Yanlin and her face was filled with emotion.
Lingyu was so moved that she said very wisely that the money was too much and it was not safe to carry it with her. She wanted to hide it, and then left quickly.
Xiao Yanlin looked at her back and laughed, with a hint of teasing in his voice: "The maid taught by Madam is really interesting."
Gu Baiyu looked at him sideways.
Xiao Yanlin's heart moved, and he hugged the person upright: "But Madam is more interesting. Madam is really sharp and eloquent today, which is amazing. Madam is so majestic!"
Gu Baiyu beat his chest with her hand: "Not as good as Mr. Hou! Miss Shuanghong is obsessed with Mr. Hou!"
Xiao Yanlin wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he decided not to say anything, and just carried him all the way to the bed.
Gu Baiyu struggled: "I haven't changed my clothes yet! They're dirty! I need to wash up and take a shower!"
Xiao Yanlin caught Gu Baiyu's fussy hands, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips: "I'll wash it later, so I don't have to wash it twice..."
Gu Baiyu blushed: "I'm very busy today and I'm sweating. Let me go and wash up."
Xiao Yanlin brought her finger to his lips and took a bite: "It's not dirty. Madam is sweet, delicious and extremely cute."
......
After Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin left, Shuanghong went to find the old housekeeper.
It was undeniable that Xiao Yanlin's attitude still frightened her, and she didn't want to leave the Hou Mansion.
After receiving twenty slaps, blood overflowed from the corners of Shuanghong's mouth.
The old housekeeper was determined to set rules for her and wanted her to learn a lesson, so he was a bit more harsh in his actions, and he watched from the side without saying a word to stop her.
When the punishment was over, Shuanghong left in a hurry and returned to her room.
Because Xiao Yanlin and the old housekeeper had taken good care of her before, even though they lived in a servant's room, everyone else shared a room with four people, but she only lived in a room by herself.
My face is still burning and hurting, and it may become swollen tomorrow.
Shuanghong lay on the bed, the words Gu Baiyu said echoing in her mind.
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house.
"Who?" Shuanghong frowned. She had just been punished today. Who came to see her laugh?
The sound outside the door surprised Shuanghong.
"It's me, Aunt Gu."
At this time, the servants have completed the whole day's work. Except for the vigilant guards and the servants who need to be on duty in various yards, everyone else has returned here to prepare for rest.
So after noticing the movement outside, many people stuck their heads out to watch.
