Qiu He was stunned. Yes, this Fang family is a ruthless beast. They can do anything.
The young lady has already arrived here, and nothing more can happen to the master and young master.
"Miss, I understand."
Song Jingyan patted her hand and said, "Qiu He, I have wronged you and Grandma Yun."
Qiu He wiped his tears and said, "Miss, if it weren't for you and my wife, I would have been sold to that dirty place by my uncle. Being able to live and die with you is the blessing I gained in my previous life."
The master and the servant hugged each other, but neither shed any more tears. It was no big deal, it was just death, wasn't it?
It's worth it to have a back support when walking.
Song Jingyan touched the dagger hidden in the bed.
I was thinking, should she take away her mother-in-law or Fang Shaojie? It would be best to find an opportunity to kill both of them.
Qiu He thought for a moment and asked, "Miss, if the young master sees you like this, he will definitely ask. What will we say then?"
"Didn't Mrs. Fang say that? I'm not acclimatized, so let's just say it like this! Remember, don't make the family suspicious, otherwise my little brother will be in danger."
"I understand, miss, then I'll go see Grandma Yun and tell her the news."
Fang Shaojie was having dinner with Song Yichen and the others.
Ye Yutong is ten years old this year and it is not convenient for him to sit with them. He ate with Mrs. Fang in the backyard.
"Miss Ye, try this crystal elbow. This is our cook's specialty."
Mrs. Fang's maid took a large piece of meat and placed it on the plate in front of her.
Before Ye Yutong swallowed the bun in his mouth, he took the elbow and stuffed it into his mouth.
The cheeks on both sides were swollen and the mouth was squeaking loudly.
He was still saying, "It's delicious, it's so delicious. I've never eaten anything so good."
She looked at Mrs. Fang opposite and asked flatteringly: "Madam, your food is so good that I don't want to leave. Can I stay here for a few more days?"
Seeing her mouth full of oil, Mrs. Fang nodded perfunctorily while holding back her nausea.
If she didn't want to talk something into this little girl's mouth, she wouldn't be bothered to sit here and socialize with a yellow-haired girl.
"Miss Ye, I heard from Yichen that you guys are his saviors. What's going on?"
Ye Yutong said proudly: "Because we saved him on the road, if it weren't for my two brothers and me, Mr. Song would have been eaten like a two-legged sheep.
But he also promised us, saying that we would send him to a place and give us five thousand taels of silver. "
She stretched out five fingers and gestured, "If it weren't for the money, we wouldn't take such a big risk to send him here."
Ye Yutong swallowed the elbow in his mouth and came to her with a mouth full of oil, "Madam, you don't know, there is a lot of chaos outside. Our carriage was almost snatched away by the victims."
This excuse was discussed before they came, in order to lower the Fang family's wariness against them.
Mrs. Fang covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and leaned back, her face full of disgust.
But as if Ye Yutong couldn't tell, he moved closer to her and asked pretending to be embarrassed:
"Madam, who gave this money? Mr. Song said that his sister had a lot of dowry, and she would definitely not miss our reward. I wonder if his words count?"
After speaking, he secretly glanced at Mrs. Fang and saw the corner of her mouth twitching.
Ye Yutong suppressed his laughter and said in a pretentious manner: "If we can't get these five thousand taels of silver, we won't leave."
Mrs. Fang didn't say whether she would give her any money, she just asked: "Where are you three brothers and sisters from? Are your martial arts very powerful?"
Ye Yutong said very proudly: "We are from the countryside of An County. My two brothers are very powerful and strong. Several men in the village cannot defeat them."
My brothers have been hunting with my father since they were young, and sometimes they can catch wild boars. "
Mrs. Fang curled her lips in disdain. It turned out to be a hunter from the countryside. She thought he was some powerful figure.
She is a little girl who has never seen the world. She is so good at beating a wild boar. She really doesn’t know how high the world is.
Now that she had inquired clearly, she was not in the mood to deal with a country girl here, so she picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
He said calmly: "Miss Ye, you can eat slowly here, I have some things to deal with, so I'll excuse you."
"Ah! Madam, are you not going to eat? There is still so much meat, what a pity it is to have it left!"
Mrs. Fang waved her hand impatiently, "I'm full. If you like, you can eat more."
After saying that, he left without looking back because he didn't want to see her.
She, the wife of a fourth-rank official, was dining here with a country girl. Let people know about it, so as not to laugh out loud.
Mrs. Fang left with the two maids and Grandma Sun.
Ye Yutong and a little maid aged eleven or twelve were the only ones left in the room.
Ye Yutong waved to the little maid, "Sister, I can't finish these dishes. You can sit down and eat together."
She saw it just now. When the little girl was helping her pour tea, she was looking at the food on the table and swallowing her saliva.
The little girl hurriedly waved her hand, "How can I, a servant, eat at the same table as the master? Girl, please eat quickly, I will go to the big kitchen to eat later."
Ye Yutong opened the door and looked outside. There was no one in the courtyard, so he pulled her to the table and gave her a pair of chopsticks.
"There's no one outside. Take a few bites quickly."
As he spoke, he gave her a big elbow and pushed the cage of crystal bags in front of her.
Seeing her sitting there in fear, not daring to move her chopsticks. He smiled and said:
"I'm not a master, I'm just a country girl. If you look at me, I won't be able to eat. Sister, just eat some with me."
The little maid looked at the elbow on the plate and swallowed, whispered, "Thank you, miss." and started eating with chopsticks.
Ye Yutong was full just now, and the elbow was stuffed into it.
She refilled some tea for herself and poured another cup for the little maid.
He smiled and asked, "Where is my sister from? When did you come to our house?"
The little maid was very polite, put down her chopsticks and said, "Girl, I am from Hua County.
I fled here last year and really had no food. My parents sold me and my brother, saying that we would be able to survive as slaves. "
Ye Yutong sighed, helped her pick up a chicken drumstick and put it in a bowl, "Is your brother also working in the house?"
The little maid shook her head, "My brother and my cousin were bought by another family, also in Jinzhou City. They came to visit me some time ago."
She finished the chicken leg and said in a low voice: "Girl, the house my brother and cousin went to is better than this one. The master there is very kind to his servants. He gives them two full meals every day."
"Oh, which one is it? Is it so good?" Nowadays, there are not many masters who can keep their servants well fed.
The little maid smiled and didn't tell her which family it was.
Her younger brother and cousin didn't let her say that much, and she never said this to anyone in this house.
If it weren't for Miss Ye's kindness, she wouldn't have said a word.
Ye Yutong did not ask further questions, but pretended to be curious and asked:
"Sister, we've been here for so long and yet we haven't seen your young lady? Is she seriously ill?"
The little maid paused for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't know. I haven't seen the eldest mistress since I entered the house. I heard from other sisters that the eldest mistress doesn't like to go out."
Ye Yutong knew that nothing could be gained by asking, so he did not embarrass her and waited until she was full.
Then he asked her to take him to the front yard to find Li Yunze and the others.
