"Oh, so it's about this. I didn't expect the Grand Mistress to know about it." Lin Wanrong said. He felt a little strange. This matter spread too fast. Even the Grand Mistress knew about it.
The Grand Mistress snorted and said, "You did such a bad thing, and you still can't let others know?"
Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "Grand Mistress, perhaps in your eyes, what I did was a bad thing, but in my opinion, it was something that had to be done. As a man, there are things that he should do and things that he should not do. If I still remained indifferent after seeing such a scene, I would doubt the meaning of my existence in this world."
Seeing his solemn expression, the Grand Mistress glared at him and said, "What did he do to provoke you? Why do you have to be so despicable?"
Lin Wanrong recounted what happened. When he reached the part where Hou Yuebai scolded the old man as a "peasant," the Grand Mistress sighed deeply.
Lin Wanrong said, "Since I destroyed someone's painting, I should compensate for it. This matter is not beyond reproach. But that Young Master Hou not only hit people, but he also humiliated others and insulted all living beings. If I don't teach him a lesson, I will feel sorry for myself. "
The Grand Mistress was silent for a long time. She knew that in the eyes of those rich young masters, except for those who were high up, everyone else was lowly.
Although the Grand Mistress was a strong woman in the business world, it was difficult for her to integrate into the upper class of young masters and young ladies. She sighed and said, "Agriculture and business are the most despised. Isn't my Xiao Family the same? "
Agriculture and business were the lifeblood of a country, but they had the lowest status in society. On the contrary, those scholars who recited a few poems thought that they were the pillars of the country. This contrast made Lin Wanrong very uncomfortable, but he couldn't change it.
The Grand Mistress sighed for a while and looked at him and said, "When you fought with others, did you hurt yourself?"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Mistress. I've never been at a disadvantage in a fight."
The Grand Mistress snorted and said, "Don't be complacent. You are so domineering outside. How can my Xiao Family tolerate you? This time he beat up the son of the prefectural magistrate of Jinling. This is not a small matter. "
Seeing the deep worry on the Grand Mistress's face, Lin Wanrong thought, that Jinling City Magistrate is just a mayor, and that Lo is the governor. With the governor's support, what are you afraid of?
He smiled and said, "Grand Mistress, don't worry. I know what I'm doing and what I'm doing. This time, I won't implicate the Xiao Family. Don't forget, I'm friends with Lord Luo's son and daughter. "
Grand Mistress glared at him angrily and said, "Am I afraid that you will implicate the Xiao Family? Since you're working for the Xiao Family, I'll bear all the trouble for you. Why would I need you to speak for me? "
Hearing the Grand Mistress's intention to protect him, Lin Wanrong's heart was moved. Although this girl is usually a bit fierce to me, she's still loyal to me at critical times. I didn't waste my effort for the Xiao Family.
Xiao Yuruo said angrily, "You are a thorn wherever you go. This time, this disaster is all because of you. If I don't punish you, I'm afraid that no one in this mansion will accept it."
"Fine, deduct my salary for a month." Lin Wanrong took the initiative to say. It was really rare for him to admit defeat. This time, the Grand Mistress was very loyal. No matter what, he had to give her face.
"You wish!" Grand Mistress was amused and angry when she saw that this guy was giving up the important to take light. She said, "Deduct your salary for three months and add fifty strokes of the cane!"
F * ck, another cane. Is this girl holding a grudge because I hit her butt? Is she deliberately messing with me?
Lin Wanrong would never do something like being beaten. He immediately said loudly, "Okay, I'll take a step back. Deduct my salary for half a year. That's enough for the cane."
Half a year's salary was more than a hundred taels of silver. He could beat that Lord Hou two more times. Lin Wanrong's heart ached.
Grand Mistress also knew that it was impossible to hit this bad guy with a cane. She immediately snorted and said, "Then deduct my salary for half a year. But I have a condition that you must promise me. "
"Say it." It was rare for the Grand Mistress to be so reasonable this time. Lin Wanrong was a little embarrassed and said in a softer tone.
"In the future, you must restrain yourself. Don't be so frivolous. Be careful of getting yourself into trouble." Grand Mistress earnestly advised.
"Okay." Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "As long as others don't provoke me, I naturally won't provoke others."
Grand Mistress nodded. It was really not easy to make this bad guy listen to her quietly.
Lin Wanrong saw her worried face and knew that she was still worried about his matter. Seeing that she was so loyal, his heart was a little touched. He smiled and said, "Grand Mistress, don't worry. Even the governor will help me solve this matter."
Grand Mistress angrily glared at him and said, "Do you think I don't know? It was Miss Luo who sent someone to tell me about your fight today. Although she reassured me, the trouble you caused today is too big. She is a woman. How can she take care of you? "
Lin Wanrong suddenly realized that it was Luo Ning who sent someone to inform Grand Mistress. This girl was very thoughtful. If Grand Mistress heard the news herself, she would be very angry. Now that Luo Ning said it, it was much better. Grand Mistress was worried that even if Luo Ning was the daughter of the governor, this matter was related to the son of the prefectural magistrate. She might not be able to solve it as a woman. She didn't know that Lin Wanrong had already established a relationship with Luo Ning's father and was comfortable.
Xiao Yuruo pondered for a while and then said, "Lin San, I am going to Hangzhou tomorrow. You go with me."
"Go to Hangzhou? Why are you going to Hangzhou? "Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
"The Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce invited me to attend the annual meeting. This is also a good opportunity to broaden your horizons. You should go and learn well." Grand Mistress said seriously. She brought Lin Wanrong to such an important meeting. It seemed that she was determined to train him as the backbone.
Lin Wanrong also knew the other meaning in her words. These days, Jin Ling City is in a tight situation. You should go to Hangzhou with me to avoid the trouble.
Originally, Lin Wanrong was not worried about this matter at all. If Lomin, the old fox, couldn't even solve this matter, he would be the governor of Jiangsu for nothing. Moreover, there were several so-called nobles behind him.
But seeing that Grand Mistress had arranged it so carefully, he really couldn't bear to disobey her. Anyway, it was a business trip and a vacation. It was not bad to go to Hangzhou. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Grand Mistress."
Xiao Yuruo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you should rest early. We'll set off tomorrow morning."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave. But she heard Lin Wanrong said, "Grand Mistress, I still have one more thing."
Xiao Yuruo asked, "What is it?"
Lin Wanrong said, "Second Miss is eating vegetarian and praying in Xixia Temple alone. It's not safe and convenient. I think we should pick her up and bring her back. Anyway, this mansion's courtyard is so big. We can build a small Buddha hall for her and worship Buddha. That will fulfill her wish. "
Grand Mistress rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do I need you to teach me? I have already picked her up today. "
"Really?" Lin Wanrong was overjoyed. She really could do whatever she wanted.
"Lin San, I solemnly warn you. You can't have any ideas about Yushuang." Xiao Yuruo said sternly. Even she couldn't remember how many times she had told him this, but the effect seemed to be getting worse and worse.
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong's ears almost grew calluses. He chuckled and suddenly said, "Grand Mistress, what did you and Qiaoqiao talk about last night?"
Grand Mistress blushed and said, "It's women's private talk. Why do you care?"
"You talk about women's private talk. Of course I don't care. But if someone says something bad about me, hehe, I have to care. "Lin Wanrong laughed and said.
Grand Mistress was unafraid as she said, "You have lied to Qiaoqiao so many things. I want her to know your true face, so that she doesn't think that us women are easy to bully."
"Then do you know my true face?" Lin Wanrong said with a hehe.
"You are the bad person who specializes in teasing women. I have already seen through you." Grand Mistress snorted and ignored him. She turned and left, "Tomorrow morning, we will leave."
Knowing that the Second Young Miss had returned to the fu, Lin Wanrong's heart itched. That day when he had a private meeting with the Second Young Miss, he was caught by the Grand Mistress at a critical moment. Now that he had returned to the fu, if he didn't go see little Yushuang, how could he be worthy of her affection?
Thinking of this, he pulled a passing servant girl and said, "This elder sister, the Second Young Miss has returned today. Where is she living now?"
The servant girl said, "Third Brother, the Second Young Miss lives in the Madam's courtyard."
Lin Wanrong knew where the Grand Mistress and the Second Young Miss lived in the embroidery building, but he rarely went to the courtyard where the Lady Xiao lived. He wasn't very familiar with the place, so it took him a long time to find the place.
This was a secluded courtyard. Because it was the Madam's residence, the servants in the courtyard were all servant girls. Even the guard at the door was a servant girl. Servants and male dogs were absolutely forbidden to enter.
When it came to stealing, Lin Wanrong was very experienced. He took out a piece of silver from his bosom and gently threw it two to three meters in front of the servant girl.
The maidservant heard a soft sound and hurriedly lowered her head. She saw a shining piece of silver lying not far from her. Her eyes lit up, and when she saw that there was no one around, she quickly ran a few steps and picked up the silver in her bosom. Lin Wanrong took advantage of this time to sneak into the courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, he saw that the east and west wing of the courtyard were lit up and there were servant girls coming in and out.
Lin Wanrong leaned against a tree, her heart thumping wildly. F * ck, I've entered a womanland. If I'm discovered, I'm afraid I'll immediately be bitten to death by the dogs.
There are lights on both sides. Should I go east or west? Lin Wanrong hesitated for a moment. Since ancient times, the east has always been the leader. Then let's go to the east first.
He stealthily took two steps forward and crouched down in front of a thicket. He saw several maids carrying steaming buckets of water into a small room.
Looking through the crack of the door, Lin Wanrong raised her head to take a look. It was as if she had been immobilized, and stood there in a daze.
