Squeak.

The door to the side room was pushed open.

It was quickly closed again.

Danko slowly raised his eyes and looked at the child sitting on the stool.

Just one glance and her eyes widened.

"Second Young Master!"

It didn’t seem like Qingyue was new and didn’t know anyone in the mansion.

Dan Kou was an old lady who had served the Second Young Master since he was a lady or a girl. It was impossible for her not to recognize the Second Young Master's face.

"Who hit you in the face?"

There are obvious differences between wounds from falls and those from beatings.

That slave girl was never beaten.

Madam is not really as tolerant and generous as she appears to be.

Before becoming a first-class personal maid, Dan Kou was also beaten.

She was very familiar with this wound.

Zhu Yue sat on a chair, lowered her eyes and acted. It was so easy for her to play the role of a poor bullied kid.

"Sister Danko, I'm in so much pain and so hungry..."

Before she could finish her words, her vision went dark and the acupressure points actually made her pass out.

There is no need to explain everything in detail.

The ancient people who lived in large mansions all lived like smart people.

Her body is still so small now, if she explains it clearly and plainly, she won't seem like a child anymore.

It would be better to let these people investigate themselves.

People always trust the truth they find out themselves.

*

When he opened his eyes again, Zhu Yue saw a beautiful woman with a face as white as a silver plate and covered in pearls and emeralds.

He is about thirty years old and looks very young.

When she found that he woke up, she was immediately surprised.

"Dan Heng, go call the doctor, my son is awake."

As soon as he finished speaking, he came closer and held her hand.

"Yu'er, you are feeling better now. Tell me if you are still in pain."

Zhu Yue felt the touch on her face and it seemed that the medicine had been applied.

Her skills remain unchanged, and ordinary doctors are unable to detect her true physical condition.

"Mom, Yue'er is so hungry. I haven't eaten for many days..."

His words made Mrs. Xie's eyes more ruthless.

Madam Xie squeezed his hand and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er, I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Madam." Dan Heng bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "The master and the doctor are here together."

Mrs. Xie looked a little more uncomfortable.

"Why is the master here? Who leaked the news?"

Mrs. Xie was extremely angry that her son was bullied by the servant.

But that didn't mean she wanted it to be discovered.

She hoped that this matter would not be discovered and she could slowly resolve it.

If others knew.

Her son has been bullied by the old slave she gave him all these years, which is more than just shameful.

It also represents her failure and incompetence as the mistress of the house.

The master is coming in soon.

Mrs. Xie didn't have time to make any temporary arrangements. She just turned around and whispered in Zhu Yue's ear.

In a low voice, "Yue'er, don't let your father be disappointed in you."

Zhu Yue's eyelashes trembled, and she finally understood the source of the original owner's strange wish.

What kind of mother is this?

When she woke up, she cried out that she was hungry, and she had been crying out that she was hungry for many days.

The woman acted as if she couldn't hear anything and just kept talking about her own things.

He said that he felt sorry for his son and wanted to seek justice for him.

In Zhu Yue's opinion, it was more like the anger and desire for revenge caused by losing face.

How could someone who really loves his son act in front of his bed?

it is ridiculous.

The original owner's father, Xie Hanlin strode in.

Seeing Zhu Yue's scarred face and hearing the doctor say that her body had been hungry for a long time and had lost some of its health, she would need dietary supplements for at least three years.

His face became even darker.

Anyone could see that he was suppressing his anger.

"Someone is coming."

"Yes, sir."

"Bring all the servants in the Second Young Master's courtyard to the main courtyard. Madam Shen will beat them to death. The others will be beaten with thirty boards and sold. My Xie family cannot afford such servants."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Xie's face.

"Master... the affairs of the inner house should be left to me..."

Xie Hanlin sneered.

"I haven't asked you why this happened in our family. And you, as the mistress, my wife, why didn't you notice that Yue'er was being bullied by the servant? How do you manage this family?"

Mrs. Xie lowered her head, avoiding Xie Hanlin's angry and disappointed eyes.

She knew that no matter what explanation she gave now, she would not be able to gain the master's forgiveness.

No matter how you look at it, she shouldn't have failed to notice this.

Now we should be thankful that this incident happened to Xie Yue.

Since Xie Yueyin was her biological son, at least the master would only think that she was stupid and deceived by the servants.

If this happened to other illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion, I'm afraid the master would be even more angry than he is now.

Mrs. Xie is now only worried that Xie Hanlin will take away her housekeeper power.

"Master, it's my fault. I never thought that the slave would be so bold. I didn't find out the problem early, and let our Yue'er suffer this great punishment..."

She knew Xie Hanlin, and the more she refused to admit her mistakes and made excuses, the angrier he would become.

Admitting your mistake directly first will actually stop the other person's anger from spreading.

She was right in her approach.

At this time, Xie Hanlin was indeed thinking about how to deal with his wife.

Just as Mrs. Xie understood Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie also knew a little about Mrs. Xie.

After all, they have been husband and wife for more than ten years.

Thinking of Tong'er, the daughter of his wife, and his eldest son Pan'er, Xie Hanlin began to hesitate.

He originally wanted to take away her housekeeper rights and let her reflect on her mistakes.

As for who will be given the stewardship that has been taken away.

He really hadn't thought of it yet.

My mother has not been involved in the affairs of the mansion for many years, and the identities and methods of the remaining concubines are not convincing enough to convince the public.

Now it seems that I can’t think of a suitable punishment.

After a pause, Xie Hanlin said coldly: "You will be punished to stay in the main courtyard for a month, and you will also have to investigate everyone in the mansion. This kind of thing must not happen again."

Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief. This punishment was much better.

"Yes, I will reflect on this carefully."

Xie Hanlin continued, "Also, since you don't have the energy to take care of Yue'er, I will send him to my mother. My mother is alone now, and I am always worried that she will be lonely."

Mrs. Xie's face froze, and she couldn't help but say, "Master!"

"Master, the old lady likes quietness. Children of Yue'er's age are the most noisy. It would be bad to disturb their mother."

No matter how little she valued him, in Mrs. Xie's eyes, this son was born after ten months of pregnancy and was her property.

How can I give my own belongings to my mother-in-law?

But her words obviously couldn't make Xie Hanlin change his mind.

His expression became even colder.

"You don't have to worry about this."

"Someone, take the lady back."

No matter how unwilling Mrs. Xie was, she knew that she could not continue to anger her husband at this time.

Confining her to her home for only one month and still allowing her to handle matters in the mansion was already showing extra leniency.

He can change his mind and take away the stewardship at any time.
