"Yeah! Did Second Miss teach Feicui this way in private? Was she really equivalent to Princess Consort Jing? The elder sister wants to steal the younger sister's husband, how shameless! "
"She dares to say such things about Third Miss right in front of her face. She's simply too presumptuous!"
Feicui didn't know that when Su Mei hit her, she had already done something. Seeing that everyone was blaming her, Feicui could only look at Murong Xinlian for help, "Miss, she really hit me!"
"Emerald, kneel!" Everyone's words also reached Murong Xinlian's ears. She didn't expect Feicui to be so stupid and almost ruined her business.
No matter what, Feicui's' waste 'was heard by the surrounding servants. At this time, if she doesn't punish Feicui, it will only make everyone think that she, the master, instigated Feicui to be so arrogant. For her reputation, she can only throw away the pawn to protect the car.
"Second Miss … …" Feicui doesn't know what happened, why Murong Xinlian's eyes have a frightening chill, "Second Miss, I am wronged!"
"Kneel! Apologize to Third Miss! "Murong Xinlian's tightly clenched fists were hidden under her sleeves, her nails had already scratched her delicate palms. This jade was really not good at accomplishing anything, but good at spoiling things.
No matter what happened today, the image that she tried to maintain has been damaged. It seems that to stop everyone's mouth, she can only severely punish Feicui.
"Third Miss, it's Feicui's fault …" Knowing that Murong Xinlian was angry, Feicui knelt in front of Murong Qiqi. Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that she was defeated by Murong Qiqi.
"Third Miss, please forgive this servant!"
"Feicui offended her superior, she will be punished with twenty floggings, and half a year's salary will be deducted. Third sister, what do you think?" Not allowing Murong Qiqi to speak, Murong Xinlian directly stated Feicui's punishment.
Murong Qiqi watched the master and servant act, but she did not expose them. Instead, she pleaded for mercy.
"Second Sister, isn't this punishment too severe? Feicui was still injured and her head was bleeding. She needed to see a doctor. Besides, she has been with you for so long after all. Even if she doesn't have any merits, she has put in a lot of hard work … In my opinion, ten strokes of the rod should be enough. As for her monthly salary, one month's salary should be enough. Second Sister, how about this punishment? "
Murong Qiqi's' plea 'caught everyone by surprise. Originally, she thought that the Third Miss will not forgive her and will severely punish Feicui. But, who knew that the Third Miss will plead for Feicui.
At this moment, Third Miss's image immediately became lofty in the eyes of others. Even a strong young man would have to lie in bed for a long time, let alone a weak girl. Although half a year's salary wasn't much, it was still a huge income for the servants.
"Third Miss is really kind-hearted!"
"Yes, Feicui framed Third Miss, but Third Miss repaid evil with kindness. She is really kind!"
Murong Qiqi's kindness only served to accentuate the 'viciousness' of her mistress, Murong Xinlian. She had followed her for such a long time, yet she hit her mistress as she pleased. Comparing the two young ladies, who was better and who was worse, the servants in the mansion naturally had a new evaluation in their hearts.
"Alright, I'll do as you say! Big Sister will definitely educate her properly when we get back! "
Murong Xinlian already hated Murong Qiqi to death. She was the one who said the truth and now, she was the one who asked for leniency. Murong Xinlian had painstakingly managed for so long, but in the end, Murong Qiqi only said a few words and everyone changed their opinion of her. They even felt that she, the Second Miss, was too harsh.
Endure! Endure! Murong Xinlian suppressed the hatred in her heart and revealed a smile. "Little sister, tonight, we'll be admiring the moon at the Lake Pavilion. You must come! Even if it's big sister apologizing for you, you have to give me face! "
"Alright! Thank you big sister, little sister will definitely be punctual! "
A farce finally ended with Feicui receiving ten floggings.
In the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Feicui was lying on the bed. She had just received ten floggings, so even the slightest movement would cause her to feel heart-wrenching pain. "Miss, this servant really didn't say those nonsense words. It was all Third Miss who framed this servant!"
"I believe you!" Murong Xinlian personally applied ointment on Feicui. "I haven't seen you for five years and Third Sister has actually improved. Feicui, don't worry. I will definitely help you get revenge today! Just wait and see! At night, I will make her regret everything she did today! "
As Murong Xinlian's confidant, Feicui was also privy to the plot between her and Wu Min. Hearing Murong Xinlian say this, Feicui pulled a face and revealed an ugly smile, "Young Miss, you're right. Endure it for the time being. When night comes, I will make her unable to cry even if she wants to! "
"Heh — —" Feicui's words obviously made Murong Xinlian happy.
Murong Qiqi, just you wait! After tonight, your reputation will be ruined. The identity of Princess Consort Jing that you rely on will also be gone. Only I, Murong Xinlian, am the best candidate for Princess Consort Jing. You're not worthy!
At night, Murong Qiqi went to the Lake Pavilion as promised.
The Lake Pavilion was located on the west side of the residence. Before she arrived, Murong Qiqi heard a burst of laughter coming from the Lake Pavilion. Murong Qinglian's voice was the loudest, "Older Sister Duanmu, is what you said true? Is that ghost king really that scary? "
"Of course it's true. He has already jinxed eight wives to death! I heard that those women died very miserably. They all died on their wedding night and all the blood in their bodies were sucked dry! Everyone said that the ghost king sucked the blood of the brides. He has to marry a bride every year and suck fresh blood to maintain his life … "
"Ah, so scary!" Hearing this, the young maidens in the pavilion cried out in alarm. "Don't talk about this, it's too scary!"
Right at this moment, Murong Xinlian's eyes were sharp and she saw Murong Qiqi. She immediately warmly greeted her, "Third Younger Sister is here, why aren't you coming over? Come quickly, everyone is waiting for you! "
"Hello, Second Older Sister!" Murong Qiqi allowed Murong Xinlian to hold her hand and enter the Lake Pavilion.
Other than Li Yunqing, who she had met before, the young masters and misses of the four great families were all present. Bai Mufei and Bai Yiyue from the Bai Family, Duanmu Hongchen and Duanmu Yiyi from the Duanmu Family, Shangguan Wuji from the Shangguan Family, and even the only male member of the Murong Estate, Murong Jun, were all present.
It seemed like Murong Xinlian had a very wide circle of friends!
