When she said this, her eyes were fixed on the butler.
The latter's expression was a little pale, but he forced himself to endure it.
"As long as others don't make me angry, then I naturally won't be angry. Don't you think so, Butler?"
It was obvious that she wanted to piss the butler off. Since the doctor was present, the butler couldn't do anything.
He could only pretend that he didn't see anything and ask in a low voice.
"Doctor, are you saying that as long as I know that my madam won't be angry, I should just rest in peace?"
"That's right. From Madam's tone, it seems that some of your servants were disrespectful to her. I feel that Madam's health is more important than anything else. If there were any ungrateful servants in the mansion, it would be better to get rid of them as soon as possible. Housekeeper should be able to distinguish which is more important, right? "
She smiled at the butler. She didn't even try to hide the obvious mockery in her eyes.
The butler's face darkened. He didn't dare to get angry at her, so he could only vent his anger on the doctor.
"This is the family matter of our mansion. Doctor Zhang only needs to treat the patient. As for the rest, it's not up to you to interfere!"
Who knew that Doctor Zhang was really a person with a temper? He coldly snorted and said.
"Since Madam has become my patient, then I must treat you with sincerity and do not dare to neglect you! The housekeeper is so negligent, aren't you afraid that the master of your mansion will drive you out if he finds out? "
A cold glint flashed across the butler's eyes.
However, he quickly calmed down. He was the one who found the doctor, and even during the consultation, they had never had any private contact.
It seemed that what the doctor said was just to nurture Gong Ya's health.
Thinking of this, the butler had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Alright, it's all my fault. Madam, please punish me!"
Gritting his teeth, the butler chose to endure silently.
Lin Mengya looked at the butler with a smile and began to give orders.
"I'm a little hungry now. I want to eat peach blossom cakes. Could I trouble you to bring them to me?"
Spring was the season when peach blossoms bloomed.
The peach blossom cake in Dragon City was soft and delicious, and it also had the effect of beautifying one's skin. It was very popular among the noble ladies in Dragon City.
She had only heard about it a while ago. Now, she could use it to make things difficult for the butler.
"Alright, I'll get it done right away. Doctor Zhang, let's go. "
Doctor Zhang nodded, but before he left, he spoke again.
"Madam's body is fine now, but you still need to relax. There is no problem in the world that cannot be solved. If Madam cannot figure it out now, there is no harm in waiting. There will be an answer. "
Her heart trembled slightly, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples to appear.
With just a few words, most of her worries were gone.
"I'll keep your words in mind. I hope we'll meet again someday. Butler, please send the guest out."
She stood in the room, but she did not dare to look at the doctor's back.
When they completely disappeared, she hurriedly hid in the inner room, pulled up the curtains, and wrapped herself tightly.
Baisu and Shang'er were guarding outside. She opened the note in her hand anxiously.
"Everything is fine. Don't worry about me. I look forward to your return."
It was a short sentence, but it made her eyes redden.
She hid the note in the pit of her burning heart.
It was him!
From the moment the doctor entered the room, she knew that he was the doctor in disguise!
Even though he had changed his appearance, even though their gazes had never made contact before, it was impossible for them to make eye contact.
But she clearly knew that it was him. It was him!
Only he could have such a tacit understanding with her.
Only he would risk his life to come here just to take a look at her.
"I'll reunite with you soon. Yu, wait for me! "
Life was like smoke, curling up.
How many people could accompany you sincerely and never abandon you in life and death?
She was so lucky. She had never been let down, and she had never missed anyone. She could only look forward to the most beautiful time.
A small note was enough to support her world.
Outside, Baisu was a little worried when she saw that she did not speak for a long time.
"Are you alright, Master?"
"I'm, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm really fine."
She rubbed her eyes and quickly calmed herself down.
She could not let the butler see through her relationship with the doctor.
"That's good. But that scoundrel will not dare to be arrogant today."
At the mention of the butler, Shang'er was furious.
He threatened Miss with such a disgusting thing. He was not a man!
"He doesn't dare to be arrogant, but he has his own bottom line. I've crossed the line several times, and I'm afraid his patience is running out. Let's spend the next few days in peace. "
She lifted the curtain and tidied up her clothes.
At this moment, the butler returned.
He was carrying a few bags of things wrapped in lotus leaves.
Shang'er immediately stepped forward and questioned him loudly.
"What are you holding in your hands? Didn't you hear what the doctor said just now? Don't make my Miss angry! "
The butler's smile was a little strange.
It seemed cold, but it also carried a bit of anticipation.
He gently put the things in his hands on the table in her room.
"Miss, don't you want to eat peach blossom cakes? I've brought them for you. "
She twitched her nose and a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes.
But she still walked out calmly, sat at the table, and asked with a smile.
"Is this peach blossom cake? I think it's just an exaggeration. It doesn't live up to its name. "
With a strange smile on his face, the butler opened the pastry wrapped in the lotus leaves.
"That's right. But this is something that has an undeserved reputation, and it was exchanged with three lives. "
She was shocked, and the butler opened the last bag.
The snow-white cake had been dyed red by something.
She smiled, but her heart was in turmoil.
"I didn't expect this cake to be so expensive that it needs to be exchanged with human lives."
The butler looked at the peach blossom cake, which was crystal clear and looked very cute.
"Yes, I didn't want to kill the three of them at first. Unfortunately, that little girl didn't know the situation at all. I wanted the cake, but she dared not give it to me! I had no choice but to kill them. After all, Miss Gong is much more important than them. "
There was human blood on the cake.
She had noticed this from the moment he came in.
"You!"
She wanted to slam the table and stand up, but in the end, she could only sit there and look at him with a cold smile.
"It's just a piece of peach blossom cake. Why do you have to be like this? Such an expensive cake really makes me feel ashamed to accept it. "
"It's just a few cheap lives. What's the big deal? As long as Miss Gong is happy, I can even take my life. "
She understood that this was a warning from the butler.
He was also taking revenge on her for teasing him with Long Tianhao.
She was even more furious, but the cold smile on her face became more indifferent.
"I don't want to take your life. It's easier to keep you alive. Oh, by the way, the cake today is not sweet enough. Please buy some honey tomorrow. "
The butler's eyes darkened. He thought that she would be more obedient, but he didn't expect that she was still acting in her own way.
"Honey? Miss Gong, aren't you afraid that the honey is contaminated with the resentment of the dead? "
"What am I afraid of? You killed them. Even if they go to hell, they will come to take revenge on you. I've heard that if a person owes too much, his body will be ripped out by those vengeful spirits one day. "
Wasn't it just a ghost story? Who was afraid of who?
The butler's face turned pale, but he still refused to admit defeat.
"Death is like an extinguished lamp. How can there be any ghosts? If you want to look for them, you should look for the initiator. "
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the ghosts will only remember the person who killed them. But, butler, there's nothing to be afraid of. When you have too much debt, don't worry about it. You'd better pray that you can live longer, so that you don't have to suffer that kind of heart-wrenching pain. "
She gave a vivid and vivid description that struck the butler's heart.
"Miss Gong, you don't have to worry about it. I'm leaving!"
The butler probably knew that no matter what, he could not beat her in bickering, so he could only run away with his tail between his legs.
After a cold snort, she elegantly sat on the chair and began to eat the cake.
"Miss, you can't eat it! If you eat it, you will be haunted by the ghosts! "
Shang'er immediately tried to stop her, but Lin Mengya ignored her and stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth.
"Don't worry and eat. Other than those that haven't been smeared with human blood, the rest can be eaten."
Shang'er looked at her in confusion. Lin Mengya, who was engrossed in eating, pointed at Baisu.
She meant that Shang'er should go to Baisu to gain knowledge.
Baisu felt a little helpless, but she still obeyed.
"Our miss has a very good sense of smell. They won't be able to fool her even if they want to."
Shang'er looked at her curiously, and she gave Baisu a thumbs-up.
She was indeed one of her people. They had a tacit understanding.
After eating a few pieces of cake and drinking a big cup of tea, she finally got the chance to speak.
"There is indeed human blood on this cake, but the amount is so little, and the smell of blood is so fresh. One look and you can tell that it was just glued on. Think about it, the people around here are relatives of the emperor, or high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Even a family of three would be escorted by a group of people, or at least a few coachmen, sedan chair bearers, or servants. Look, were there any fewer people in our courtyard just now? "
Shang'er thought for a while and shook her head.
"That housekeeper's martial arts are only above average. Under such circumstances, if he could still kill and rob, that would be his greatest ability. What's more, killing someone would cause a lot of trouble. They only dare to hide me here secretly to hide me. How could they have the ability to suppress this matter? "
"But what if the person behind this is the Empress?"
She hesitated for a while and quickly shook her head.
"It can't be her. I was taken away by her, and now I disappeared in her place. Given the current situation, she will definitely hide in the palace and try to cover up the truth that I was taken away. "
