A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Hu had never liked Liu Lanting. When she was in charge of the Liu residence, she did not deliberately bully the son of the first wife, but she was not on good terms with him either. They would only meet three to five times a year, but they would only exchange a dozen words. She was very cold.
Under such circumstances, Madam Hu knew Liu Lanting's biggest secret, but no one knew about it.
Either Madam Hu had other concerns, or the lady did not hate her as much as Liu Lanting thought she did.
Madam Hu's interest was piqued when she heard Jiang Pengji's unexpected words. "What did you see?"
"People are like fine wine. Their fragrance increases with age. You haven't aged after so many years, and you're even more charming now."
As Jiang Pengji spoke, she heard a few gasps in the room.
Everyone's mind was probably filled with comments like, "How dare the Second Langjun flirt with his stepmother in public? What the f * ck!"
Madam Hu twirled her handkerchief and chuckled. "Since when did you become so sweet? I almost took your words seriously."
"Concubine Die is a natural beauty, it's hard for her to abandon herself. If others praise her, it's naturally true."
The "mother and son" chatted with each other, and they even ignored the housekeeper and his wife who were kneeling below them. They seemed to be having a good time talking to each other. Suddenly, Madam Hu mentioned the mole at the corner of her eye and asked Jiang Pengji if she was beautiful.
Jiang Pengji did not understand, but she answered honestly, "It's the finishing touch. If it's missing, it'll be less charming."
The gasps in the room died down. Jiang Pengji frowned. Had she broken a taboo?
At that moment, a viewer who seemed to know a thing or two about physiognomy posted a comment.
Fengshui Master Gaotu: "Host, you've broken a taboo. That mole has an ominous meaning. It could bring bad luck to your husband and children."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Unexpectedly, Madam Hu, who was supposed to be angry at being stepped on, smiled coquettishly. "You have a sweet mouth, just like your mother."
Mother? Madam Hu knew Liu Lanting's mother? From her tone, it sounded like they were not as hostile as the rumors said.
While she was puzzled, Madam Hu leaned against the table and looked at the butler and his wife behind the screen.
"I heard from them that you privately handed the guards over to the butler to deal with and had him take them to the magistrate's office. You even wanted to search their houses? Is this true? " Madam Die changed the topic. Her expression was cold, as if she wasn't the one who had been chatting and laughing with Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji sat down with a straight face and said, "That's true. Why? Did they bring their whole family to bother you?"
"He is, after all, an old man arranged by your father. Even if you want to punish him, you should be cautious to prevent others from gossiping."
As soon as Madam Die spoke, the manager and his wife's gloomy faces immediately brightened. They even seemed a little happy.
"It's just punishing a few servants who made a mistake. Do I have to be held back by them? It was true that they were the elders left behind by their father, but this did not mean that they were taking advantage of their seniority. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
Moreover, I would like to ask you, Concubine Die. Is it worse to punish a servant who made a mistake, or is it worse to punish a servant who takes advantage of his seniority but ends up being restrained? "
The former would be criticized for not being strict enough and having a servant, but the latter would be a complete disgrace to the aristocrats in Hejian County.
"Everything needs evidence. Even if they are servants in the manor, they still need to follow the rules." Madam Hu smiled faintly.
Jiang Pengji secretly took a deep breath. She was not used to the way things were handled in this era.
If it was in the past, she would have been lucky not to have slapped them to death. Now they wanted evidence?
He was tired of living and wanted to hang himself!
She had wanted to show some mercy and sell them to a faraway place. What she did not see, she would not be sad. Now, she was digging her own grave.
"Housekeeper, go to the kitchen in the inner courtyard and find a servant girl. I don't know what she looks like, but she has a unique characteristic. She might be sick today, or she might be in low spirits and is forcing herself to work, but she is absent-minded …"
Jiang Pengji's words were strange, but no one except her noticed that the servant kneeling beside the housekeeper and his wife had his legs trembling and fists clenched. She snorted coldly, and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
You want to use evidence to prove yourself? Very well, I will use evidence to cut off your family's escape route!
The housekeeper took the order and left. Jiang Pengji held the sandalwood fan in her hand and opened and closed it intermittently. Her lips were curled up with a hint of bloodlust.
The bullet screen suddenly quietened down. At that moment, the number of viewers in the streaming room had quietly climbed to the 1,500 mark, and there were even more than 300 followers. This meant that when Jiang Pengji started streaming in the future, these followers would receive the livestream notification immediately. Then, based on this, they would accumulate a fixed group of viewers who would watch the livestream. The System looked at the number and was overjoyed.
Not long after, the housekeeper brought a servant girl in coarse gray clothes over. "Langjun, the girl is here."
After that, the housekeeper knelt beside Jiang Pengji and whispered in her ear, "When we found her, she was trying to kill herself."
Jiang Pengji closed her eyes and said to Madam Hu, "Lanting, I have a favor to ask. Can I borrow your servant girl?"
"Sure."
Madam Hu looked at the scene with curiosity and interest. She wanted to know what Jiang Pengji was going to do.
However, in the next second, Jiang Pengji's words almost angered her.
"Bring the servant girl down for a body check. See if there are any signs of her being violated within a short period of time …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Madam Hu slammed her hand on the short table beside the table. The sound echoed throughout the room.
"Bastard!"
When Madam Hu slapped him with her palm, or rather, when Jiang Pengji said those words, the guard was already at a loss of what to do. Without looking at anything else, just by looking at his reaction, everyone vaguely realized something and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
How could a servant in the outer courtyard have an affair with a servant girl in the inner courtyard?
The inner courtyard was a forbidden area for men, except for Liu Langjun's father, the Second Langjun, and a young concubine. Even if the housekeeper wanted to enter, he had to be watched. Furthermore, it had to be an urgent matter, and there was a time limit.
"Yesterday, I accidentally ran into a scoundrel. Madam Hu sent people to look for me, but these daring servants went to brothels, brothels, and brothels. Not only did they fool around with prostitutes, but they also went to the gambling house. When they came back in the middle of the night, they snuck into the inner courtyard and raped a servant girl in the kitchen who happened to wake up at night … The inner courtyard is where mother, Madam Hu, and my sister sleep!"
If he counted on those idiots to save Liu Lanting, he would be dead by now.
"That's not enough to deal with this animal?"
The housekeeper and his wife widened their eyes, but when they saw their son's flustered expression, they could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"It wasn't me … I didn't do it … It was that lowly servant girl who seduced me … It wasn't me …"
The servant hurriedly denied it. He even straightened his body and pushed away the servant girl who was kneeling beside him, panicking as if his secret had been exposed.
What a joke! A servant who sold his assets to molest and humiliate a servant girl in the manor was definitely going to die. He could not admit it.
