Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

"Thank you for sparing my life, Miss. Thank you very much, Miss!"

Instead of complaining, Xia He thanked him with great gratitude.

She could feel the look in Jiang's father's eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person. Although she would suffer some physical pain now, at least she had saved her life.

After dealing with Xia He, it was Hong Luo's turn.

She was just a maid, yet she dared to openly let a man from outside go into the water to save Miss Jiang Er. There were obviously better and more ways, but she chose the most disgusting one.

Clearly, the two young ladies fell into the water together, but she only pointed out Jiang Yueshu's identity. Father Jiang was very angry just thinking about it.

"Hong Luo, tell me clearly, who gave you the idea? How dare you frame the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion like this? Don't you remember your own identity? If you tell the truth, I will spare your life." Father Jiang said coldly.

Hong Luo said, "Master, I was just worried about the Second Miss. I saw that the situation was urgent and I was eager to save her, so I made a stupid move. Heaven and earth can see my intention, and I had no other thoughts. I didn't know that the Third Miss also fell into the water. If I knew, I would have saved the two young ladies even if I had to risk my life!"

Jiang Yueshu said silently: "Sister, I remember you screamed first and then dragged me into the water!"

Jiang Xinghui: "......"

"Sister, Hui'er doesn't know, someone pushed me from behind, and I don't know what I was holding onto and I fell down."

"But I clearly remember that you made a very loud noise. If Hong Luo was nearby, how could he not know that you fell into the water?" Jiang Yueshu asked doubtfully.

Jiang Xinghui: "......"

Jiang Xinghui didn't dare to speak. In order not to arouse suspicion, she did scream very loudly. Hong Luo was her mother's man, and she didn't know what to say.

"Second Miss, I really didn't know! There were several ladies talking at the time, and I really didn't hear it. If I had heard it, I would definitely go to save the two ladies first." Hong Luo continued to defend herself.

"Yes, yes, master. Hong Luo has been with me for more than ten years. Don't I know what kind of person she is?" Yun Xi agreed to smooth things over.

"Well, even if you didn't hear it, after the third lady came ashore, you clearly knew that the second lady was still in the lake, but you turned a blind eye and left her life at risk. What else do you have to say?" Father Jiang sneered.

Before he left Yun Mansion, he specifically asked someone to find out the details of what happened during the day.

"I...I was frightened when I saw the Third Young Lady coming ashore. I didn't know that the Third Young Lady had also fallen into the water. I was so shocked that I forgot about the Second Young Lady falling into the water..." Hong Luo explained with a pale face.

No matter how much she explained, she could not hide the fact that she had forgotten the second young lady fell into the water.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked with great force. Hong Luo felt the pain in his body. After a long while, he covered his chest and moved his body with difficulty to continue kneeling.

"Yun, how do you deal with your people?"

After kicking Hong Luo, Father Jiang looked at Yun Xi, waiting for her reaction.

Yunxi's face looked a little ugly. She glanced at Hong Luo, whose mouth seemed to be bleeding, and combined with the punishment Jiang Yueshu had just given to Xia He, she felt reluctant but had to speak.

"How about ten strokes of the cane and a monthly fine of one year's salary?" she asked tentatively.

Father Jiang still looked unhappy. He stared at Yunxi for a while before speaking, "I don't know why you are so soft-hearted, Yunshi? Just hand over the shops that you helped Shushu's mother run. Since you can't do it well, I will make my own arrangements."

Yunxi felt uneasy when being looked at. The property left by Jiang Yueshu's mother was taken away again. He felt hateful, anxious and angry.

After she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, all household affairs were managed by Old Lady Jiang. As for Jiang's mother's previous dowry and the farm, they were handed over to her to manage and present all to Jiang Yueshu when she got married.

Now, Jiang's father actually wanted to take back her rights. She thought of the money and property she had embezzled over the years and couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Master, if you are not satisfied, I will change it. How about giving me twenty lashes of the cane, demoting me to a maid, and fining me one year's salary?" Yun Xi said embarrassedly.

"What? Is it worth expelling such a stubborn and unruly servant from the Prime Minister's residence?" Jiang's father asked.

Yunxi was really stunned this time. Hong Luo had been with her for many years, was loyal to her, and understood her thoughts very well. He was her indispensable right-hand man.

Father Jiang actually wanted to expel her from the house because of such a small matter. Yun Xi's eyes flashed with struggle and hesitation.

Hong Luo was already dragging her injured body to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life. I will leave the house in a moment."

Father Jiang was now somewhat satisfied, and said to Yun Xi: "Since you said the punishments, just carry them out. After she has received the punishments, drive her out of the house and make public how she disregarded the master's life."

Yunxi's face turned pale. She looked at Hong Luo who was still kowtowing to express her gratitude, and thought to herself, she really understood her very well.

"By the way, the dowry list must be prepared when it is handed over. If yours is missing, I don't mind asking Madam Yun for a copy." Father Jiang said coldly.

Yunxi's already pale face turned even paler. If he hadn't been sitting on a stool, he would have fainted immediately.

She paused for a moment before speaking softly.

"Master is right. I am not feeling well right now, so I will go downstairs to rest. I will hand over the dowry list as soon as I am ready."

Yun Xi forced a smile, bowed, and left Songbai Courtyard with the help of a maid.

Yunxi couldn't bear to be alone and left. Except for Jiang Xinghui who was eating anxiously and silently, everyone else was not affected at all and had dinner in peace.

That night, Jiang Yueshu was casually flipping through some miscellaneous notes that she had asked Lu Ping to buy outside, when she heard Lu Ping's report.

"Miss, Xia He wants to see you."

Jiang Yueshu paused, a smile in his eyes.

"Let her in."

......

On the second day, Yun Xi had indeed regained the dignified and graceful manner of the prime minister's wife. With a smile on her face, she arrived early before Jiang Yueshu left the house and invited Jiang Yueshu to have dinner together at Songbai Courtyard.

Because she arrived early, Jiang Yueshu had not finished combing her hair yet. Qiuju and Luping were serving her.

Yunxi was walking around the yard casually, waiting for Jiang Yueshu to finish dressing.

She looked around and saw Xia He who was cleaning the courtyard. Xia He seemed to see her as well. She nodded slightly and continued cleaning.

Yunxi smiled even more at this and waited patiently for Jiang Yueshu to finish washing up.

After a while, the two of them went to Songbaiyuan for dinner.

Because the Marquis' Mansion will send someone to discuss the marriages of the young ladies today, the etiquette classes of the young ladies have been temporarily suspended. Even Prime Minister Jiang has taken a leave of absence and is waiting in the morning.

Not long after breakfast, a visiting card from the Marquis' Mansion arrived at the gatehouse.

The servants led the people from the Marquis' Mansion to the front hall. After a while, Jiang's father also went there with Yunxi.

As soon as he entered the door and saw the person coming, Father Jiang frowned, then he regained his composure.

Marquis Zhongyi and Prince Lu Zhao were among them, and there was also a woman standing beside the marquis with a smile on her face, but she was not the marquis's wife.
