This time, it was Madame Jiu's relative from her hometown, the supervisor of the kitchen, Sister Ma.
In fact, Ye Kong wasn't that bad-tempered. If you didn't provoke him, he would let it go sometimes. Just like the housekeeper Ye Cai, the night watchman Li Lao Si and the others. Now that they were being polite to Ye Kongke, Ye Kong didn't plan to bicker with them about what happened in the past. To be honest, he didn't have the time to bicker with these servants.
But some people didn't open their eyes and always thought that they had the ability and backing, and that a child like him was nothing special. This matter started when Ye Kong returned to the mansion.
It was almost noon when Ye Kong came back from outside. He was in a good mood today. He killed the Fan brothers, got the treasure, kissed Lu Qin's little mouth, taught Yamen Tie a lesson, and received the support of the Southern City's people …
It was all good things. What reason was there to be unhappy?
Thinking that his mother was waiting at home, Ye Kong declined all invitations and returned to the mansion alone.
The servants who had been talking animatedly greeted Ye Kong when they saw him. "Eighth Young Master."
"Hey, Eighth Young Master, you're famous."
"Eighth Young Master has made our Ye mansion proud. As servants, we can also go out and enjoy glory."
Of course, Ye Kong was happy to hear this. After a few simple greetings, he threw a piece of silver to them. "It's almost noon. Let's go have a drink." With that, Ye Kong hurried back to his own courtyard.
Chen Jiuniang didn't know that Ye Kong had gone out on an adventure, so she wasn't too worried. But she heard that her son had made a big commotion in front of the Hidden Spring House in the morning. She didn't know if it was a good or bad thing, so she couldn't help but worry.
Chen Jiuniang didn't even do her embroidery. She was waiting for Ye Kong to come back. As soon as she saw Ye Kong, she scolded, "You brat, why do you only know how to cause trouble all day? You said you were going out with your friends to play, how did you end up in the Hidden Spring House? You're so young, yet you're already imitating others to visit brothels, and you even caused such a big commotion. "
Hearing that his mother was angry about this, Ye Kong hurriedly pressed Chen Jiuniang to sit down, helped her relax her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Mother, you're wrong. I didn't go to the House of Hidden Spring to have fun. I did spend the night outside the city last night. If you don't believe me, you can ask your goddaughter, Xiaoqin."
Chen Jiuniang asked doubtfully, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. You can also ask Liu Changqing. When they were fighting with the bailiffs, I had just entered the city. I was forcibly dragged along by them."
Since Ye Kong was so sure, Chen Jiuniang no longer doubted him, but she still nagged, "You're still young and haven't married yet. You can't go to a place like the House of Hidden Spring. What if you get sick?"
If I'm going, I'm going to look for that unbroken prostitute. How could I possibly get sick? Of course, Ye Kong wouldn't say that. He just kept nodding in agreement.
Chen Jiuniang said again, "When you're free, you need to find a wife. Why don't I take care of it for you, so that you don't mess around outside …"
This was what Ye Kong was afraid of, so he quickly stopped her, "Don't! Mother, I'm only fourteen. It's still early. I, I, I … haven't developed yet! "
Hearing her son's words, Chen Jiuniang covered her mouth and laughed. She added, "Actually, Xiaoqin is not bad."
Ye Kong didn't answer, but changed the topic, "Mother, you don't know, your son is in the limelight today. Everyone in Southern City knows about it. You didn't see me in the limelight today."
"What's there to be in the limelight?" Chen Jiuniang scolded, "I've heard that you're in the limelight, but do you know? You've completely offended the mayor and those bailiffs. Be careful, they'll remember today's grudge and settle the score with you in the future. "
"How dare they! It's fine if they behave themselves in the future, but if they want to get back at me, hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless! "
Chen Jiuniang was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so she quickly said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll be satisfied if you're safe and sound. Don't cause any more trouble."
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Kong was hungry, so he remembered to have lunch.
When they arrived at the dining hall, the servants were naturally busy greeting them. Their words were filled with indescribable respect and flattery, which made the manager of the dining hall, Sister Ma, unhappy.
The person she originally looked down on the most was now being respected. Those servants no longer surrounded her in hopes of getting more dishes like they did in the past. Instead, each and every one of them hurriedly got their food and sat beside Ye Kong and his wife to flatter them.
Sister Ma was disappointed, but she didn't stop talking. However, she also knew that Ye Kong was now successful and had a bad temper, so she didn't dare to go against Ye Kong.
Thus, she carried the large basin of food and walked to the other corner of the dining hall to add a spoonful of food to the servants who were not familiar with Ye Kong.
The servants were flattered and said with a smile, "Sister Ma is so nice today. You took the initiative to add food for us. Is there a happy occasion?"
Sister Ma squinted at Ye Kong and said snappily, "How can there be so many happy occasions? Unlike some people who have happy occasions one after another. Don't you see that everyone is like a fly trying to get close to him? "
The servants saw that they were dissatisfied with Ye Kong, but they didn't dare to cause trouble and kept quiet. Sister Ma became even more angry.
"Humph, why don't you also go and flatter him? This old lady's food is fragrant, but to a fly, sh * t is more attractive! "
Sister Ma's words scolded everyone. One of the servants couldn't help but say, "Sister Ma, how can you say that? We're all eating, and sh * t is not sh * t. You're making me want to vomit."
Sister Ma snorted coldly. She looked at Chen Jiuniang's face and sneered, "What are you afraid of? Is your stomach so shallow? Other people eat with such an ugly face that looks like sh * t. Look at that face, it looks like there's a piece of sh * t stuck on it. Haha, and it's even overnight. "
Sister Ma's voice didn't dare to be loud, but Ye Kong's ears were extraordinarily good. If he couldn't hear it, it wouldn't matter. But since he heard it, this matter wasn't over. He absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to talk about his mother like that.
F * ck! He hadn't made a fuss about the cold steamed bun last time. This time, he would settle the score with her!
He grabbed the rice bowl in his hand and smashed it over. Before Sister Ma could even react, Ye Kong was already standing in front of her. He slapped her left and right, causing Sister Ma to see stars.
"Watch your words in the future! If you insult others too much, you'll be slapped! "
Sister Ma was a shrew. After being slapped, she became even more shrewish. She sat on the ground and shouted, "What did I say? Did I mention your name? If you have the guts, say it and let everyone be the judge! "
Ye Kong's face turned cold. How could he repeat it? Chen Jiuniang didn't hear what he said, nor did most of the servants. If he said it again in front of everyone, how could he keep his face?
With this thought in mind, Ye Kong didn't want to pursue the matter any further. He lectured, "I hope this matter ends here. This is just a lesson for you. In the future, think before you speak. If there's a next time, it won't be so simple!"
If it were anyone else, under Ye Kong's absolute strength, they would have tolerated it and let it go. But Sister Ma didn't realize it. She felt that Ye Kong was afraid of her because he was looking for a way out. So she shouted at Ye Kong's back, "Why are you running? If you have the guts, let everyone be the judge! I said there's sh * t on someone's face. Did I say you? Why are you so agitated? Why are you feeling guilty? Is there sh * t on your mother's face? "
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire dining hall fell silent. Everyone knew that this matter would not end well. They looked at Chen Jiuniang again. She had been publicly ridiculed and humiliated. Even a clay figurine could not keep her face. She immediately covered her face and ran out of the dining hall.
"Mother!" Ye Kong shouted and looked back at Sister Ma. This time, he was really angry. He rushed up and punched and kicked Sister Ma. If it weren't for the people around holding her back, Sister Ma would have died on the spot.
However, her injuries weren't clear. She probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least three months.
Therefore, this matter alarmed the Ninth Madam. Although Sister Ma was not her relative, she was one of her people. Slapping Sister Ma was the same as slapping her face. Everyone cared about face. She came to the Second Madam to demand an explanation. She wanted to drive the mother and son out of the Ye Mansion.
After Ye Kong beat up Sister Ma, he hurried back to the small courtyard and comforted Chen Jiuniang, "Mother, don't lower yourself to her level. She's just talking nonsense."
Chen Jiuniang had been looked down upon and bullied by others. This time, she suffered a great humiliation. Her scars were exposed in front of all the servants in the outer courtyard. Even she, who was used to it, couldn't stand it.
However, she was afraid that her son would do something bad. She wanted to smile and say that it was nothing, but her tears fell uncontrollably.
"Mother, don't worry. It's just a melanin deposit. I'll definitely cure it for you. When the time comes, I'll show them that my mother is also very beautiful!"
While they were talking, there was a commotion outside. Old Li came to inform them that the Second Madam was coming to visit Chen Jiuniang.
When Chen Jiuniang heard that the Second Madam was coming, she quickly held back her tears and went to wash her face. Ye Kong had already thought of a plan. Anyway, he was rich and capable now. Why should he stay in the Ye Mansion and be bullied? The Second Madam's visit was just an excuse. Why not take the opportunity to leave the Ye Mansion?
Out of the Ye Mansion, the fish could swim freely in the vast ocean, and the birds could fly freely in the vast sky. Wouldn't that be great?
"Oh, Jiuniang is still embroidering? Your embroidery is getting better and better. Even the masters in the big workshops in the capital can't compare to you. " It was easy for this woman to build a relationship. She just needed to catch something and praise you. Then, it would be easier to talk.
The Second Madam came in and praised her so much that Chen Jiuniang was embarrassed. She said shyly, "Second Madam, look at what you're saying. I'm just casually embroidering. How can I compare to the masters in the big workshops?"
"Jiuniang, we're all sisters. You don't have to be so polite." The Second Madam pulled Chen Jiuniang to sit by the bed.
Ye Kong saw that something was wrong. She was not here to denounce him. Although he knew that the Second Madam was a weasel paying respects to a chicken, he did not want to hit a smiling person. How could he tell her about moving out of the Ye Mansion?
"Second Madam, I …" Ye Kong wanted to interrupt.
The Second Madam was also very smart. She quickly interrupted, "Oh, this must be Kong 'er. I'm very busy and have no time to visit you. The older you get, the more promising you are. Look at your pretty face."
"Second Madam …"
"Kong 'er, don't be so distant. What Second Madam? You should call me Second Madam. I really haven't taken good care of you all these years. Are you still angry at me? You don't know how hard it is for me to be a part of the family … "
This woman was really good at talking. Ye Kong and Chen Jiuniang were so stunned that they couldn't even get a word in edgewise. They could only listen to her rambling on and on until her mouth was full of white foam. Of course, there was no lack of family feuds. Ye Kong was annoyed by her talking, but he didn't know how to interrupt her, so he could only bite the bullet and listen to her.
