Hearing that it was the yard of the second daughter of the Gong Family, she and her teacher took a few more glances at it.
Both of them knew about Lin Mengwu's background, so they naturally felt that it was shameless of her to act so brazenly.
The two of them did not continue to scold her. They took orders from Gong Tu and did not respect the second daughter of the Gong Family.
"Ahem, I think we have strolled far enough. My old bones can't stand it anymore. Let's go back."
"Yes, sir."
She supported her teacher and walked back. Because her teacher was "weak", they rested for a while in the pavilion where they came from.
There was a pond opposite the pavilion.
There were clusters of water lilies in the pond, which dyed the pond green.
Although there was no one meticulously taking care of it, it still gave off a sense of wildness.
After admiring the water lilies for a while, they saw a person dressed as a maidservant enter the pavilion.
Lin Mengya had seen that person several times. She was now serving Lin Mengwu.
Seeing them, the maidservant pulled a long face and scolded them without even greeting them.
"Where did you come from, old man? Do you think you are qualified to see the scenery here?"
She was full of arrogance, just like her master.
Lin Mengya's face darkened, but she did not get angry easily.
"Miss, we are just admiring the water lilies here. We did not offend you. Why do you have to be so harsh?"
"The scenery here belongs to my mistress. For people like you, it's already a blessing from your past life to have a look at it. If you don't know how to appreciate it, I will ask someone to drive you out! "
The maidservant put her hands on her waist, full of anger.
Her mistress had been in a bad mood these days, and her job was not easy.
Now that she saw someone who was not as good as her, she could use all her strength.
"You, you junior, how can you be so rude and barbaric!"
The old doctor must have never seen such a person. For a moment, he pointed at the maidservant with a trembling finger and could not even speak coherently.
Seeing this, the apprentice immediately went over to massage his chest.
"Sir, you can't be so angry. Your health is more important!"
Seeing this, the maidservant laughed even more wildly.
"Useless thing, it is better for you to die!"
The apprentice was really irritated and came forward to reason.
"How can you be so vicious? My master was specially invited by Young Master Ma to treat your Old Master. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why do you have to humiliate me like this? "
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, but after she did, the maidservant became even angrier.
If it wasn't for that meddlesome Young Master Ma, Young Mistress wouldn't have been so angry.
"Oh, Miracle Doctor? If he really is a divine doctor, why doesn't my master look well? In my opinion, he's just an old swindler! Bah, you're already so old and you're still doing this kind of thing. Don't you feel ashamed? "
The old divine doctor had never been pointed at and scolded like this before. His eyes rolled back and his body went limp on the ground.
The apprentice called out 'mister' repeatedly. The two people who were resting outside the pavilion also realized that something was wrong and immediately walked over.
"How dare you insult my master like this? I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
The apprentice did not wait for the two of them to come over. After placing the teacher on the ground, he turned around and rushed over.
In an instant, the two of them wrestled together.
The maidservant screamed in a trembling voice, which made the place extremely lively.
The people outside immediately came up to pull them away, but no one knew what the two of them were doing. The apprentice and the maidservant knocked against the railing of the pavilion.
With a "bang", the maidservant crashed into the railing with the apprentice on top.
Then there was a "splash" sound and both of them fell into the water.
"Save me! Ah! I don't know how to swim! "
The maidservant frantically floated up and down for help, but the little apprentice did not float to the shore.
The people in the pavilion were stunned for a moment and immediately found someone to save him.
"Ah! Someone is grabbing me! Save … "
The maidservant was already panicking, but she didn't know when a cold hand wrapped around her ankle.
The hand pulled her down forcefully. She was caught off guard and gulped down a big mouthful of water.
Her mouth and nose were completely blocked and cold water would pour in at any time.
The maidservant had completely lost the ability to think. She only felt that the hand on her ankle was getting closer and closer.
Fear made her even more panicky.
At that moment, she suddenly saw a face appear in front of her.
The face was emerald green and it was not very clear in the water.
But she could roughly see the outline. She seemed to see that the green face was opening its bloody mouth as if it was going to eat her.
The maidservant was scared out of her wits. She stared at the green face and desperately slid her limbs, trying to get rid of the cold hand.
Unfortunately, she could only sink deeper and deeper.
Soon, she fainted.
Humph! Idiot!
Lin Mengya threw away the lotus leaf she had grabbed at random and used to cover her face. Then she turned around and swam to the place under the pavilion.
No one knew that the lower part of the small hall was built in the water.
At the same time, they didn't know that there was a closed space where something was hidden.
Lin Mengya opened a loose green brick and took out a small paper package wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin.
She hid the package in a sewn pocket inside her clothes and quickly swam to the place where she had fallen into the water.
It had only been a few minutes, and the oxygen in her mouth was almost used up.
With her last breath, she swam to the surface of the lake with all her might.
Finally, she broke the surface of the water like a nimble mermaid. Then, someone stretched out an oar to her.
"Here! She's here! "
She grabbed the oar and didn't try to hide her big breaths.
Soon, the maidservant, who had fainted because of her fear, was rescued. But at this time, her breathing was very weak.
"Hurry, hurry up and force the water out of her stomach!"
She was pulled onto the boat "weakly", but she still "kindly" gave them some advice.
The experienced servants who were responsible for rescuing the maidservant immediately pressed the maidservant's abdomen.
When the maidservant spat out the water she had choked on, she suddenly seemed to have gone mad and loudly shouted.
"There, there's a ghost! There's a ghost under the pond! She pulled my foot and wanted to eat me! "
As she spoke, she pulled the sleeve of the person who had saved her. Her body was trembling as if she was extremely afraid.
All of a sudden, the faces of the people around them darkened.
Fortunately, at this time, Lin Mengya said in a weak voice.
"She's probably frightened by the drowning. She'll wake up after two slaps."
Before the people understood what she meant, they saw the maidservant crying and throwing a tantrum. She even pulled the sleeve of the person and dragged him into the pond.
"Look, look, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
The person didn't pay attention and was almost dragged into the pond by the maidservant.
The people on the shore were afraid of being implicated. A neat old woman stepped forward, raised her arm, and gave the maidservant a few slaps.
"Wake up for this old lady! There's no ghost. It's all your imagination! "
The maidservant instantly quieted down.
She looked at those people in a daze, and her eyeballs didn't move.
Seeing that the maidservant finally quieted down, the crowd quickly dispersed, and someone left with the maidservant.
But from now on, she probably didn't dare to go near the pond anymore.
"Du Zhong, are you alright?"
The old miracle-working doctor, who had almost "died of anger" just now, poked his head out of the pavilion and asked with concern.
Lin Mengya still maintained her gentle and weak look and responded.
"Thank you for your concern, Sir. Du Zhong is fine. Thank you, big brothers, for helping me out. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Du Zhong would have died here. "
She bowed deeply and spoke with sincerity.
Compared with the crazy old woman who almost dragged someone into the water, she was obviously the one who had fallen into the water.
Those people hurriedly said that she was fine. After comforting her for a while, they sent her and the teacher back to the west garden.
But on the way, they had learned the whole story.
They also knew that it was the maidservant's rudeness that almost angered the old miracle-working doctor to death and dragged her into the water.
"My master came here to treat Master Gong and Young Master Gong. But she, but she cursed my master to death. I really don't know how we offended her. "
He deliberately said it in a pitiful and sorrowful tone. Those who heard him immediately became angry.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the two men sent by Gong Tu. After they exchanged a glance, one of them fell a few steps behind and disappeared.
He must have gone to report the news to his master.
When they arrived at the courtyard, she and the teacher thanked the servants and closed the door, saying that she was frightened after falling into the water.
As soon as she quieted down, the teacher urged her.
"Go and change your clothes quickly, in case you catch a cold!"
She immediately went back to her room, changed into clean clothes, and took a bath with hot water.
After she had refreshed herself and returned to her teacher, she saw Gong Tu sitting in her teacher's room.
Seeing her, Gong Tu immediately asked.
"Little brother, how are you feeling now? I'm really sorry. I didn't manage you well, so you suffered such a shock. "
She had heard the noise in the room, so she didn't reveal any flaws.
However, there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, as if he had suffered a fright.
Hearing Gong Tu's question, she said timidly, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Master Tu."
"Well, it's good that you're fine. I'm ashamed to talk about it. That maidservant is a servant girl who serves my niece. She's used to being ill-mannered. I don't know why she dared to offend my distinguished guest today. I'll punish her severely later! "
Gong Tu's words, in addition to drawing a clear line between them, were also to test her. Why did the maidservant provoke them instead of others?
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had a countermeasure. She lowered her head and said with some indignation.
