The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Sir, won't you go over and take a look?"

"I think with Yuhua here, Cheng Youning can't be beaten, so I'll go. It's hard for a judge to judge family affairs, and this kind of lawsuit is especially difficult. I'll go see Zhong Siyu. After all, Zhu'er is her maid. I guess she should be hiding in the house crying at this time."

Wan Lianxing was indeed very foresighted. Zhong Siyu was indeed standing by Zhu'er's bedside wiping her tears. She only wiped her tears and came out when she heard Wan Lianxing coming.

"How's Pearl?"

"My Lord, Zhuer fainted from the pain."

"How are you?"

"Yu'er is fine, I didn't fall."

"Alas! We have learned a lesson from the first time. How could you two still be fooled?"

Zhong Siyu blamed herself and said, "It's all because of Yu'er's stupidity that she didn't listen to Zhu'er."

Wan Lianxing said, "Cheng Youning is being tortured outside. I just walked by and heard him say that Zhu'er talked about him. Is this true?"

"To torture Cheng Youning? Did anyone stop him?"

Wan Lianxing said in a fake tone: "Don't worry about this, and don't try to stop me. In my house, we all follow the rules, rewards and punishments are clear, and we don't protect anyone. Please make sure you answer my questions clearly."

Zhong Siyu had no choice but to recount the whole incident in detail.

Wan Lianxing sighed, "Look after Zhu'er from now on. When you talk about Cheng Youning, you must speak softly. This child has sharp ears, but he can't tell good from bad. If you provoke him, he will definitely take revenge."

"My Lord, I failed to take good care of Zhu'er. I will definitely discipline her and stop her from talking nonsense in the future."

"We live in the same mansion. Zhu'er is a maid and Cheng Youning is the master. Since ancient times, servants have never criticized their masters. I wanted to talk to you two behind closed doors. But you said it in front of Cheng Youning. He can hear even the smallest voice. You must warn Zhu'er in the future to avoid her suffering next time."

"My Lord, it is Yu'er who is misbehaving with the servants. Please punish her, my Lord."

"Why should I punish you? You have done well enough in my eyes. You have managed the whole mansion in an orderly manner. With your help, I can focus on government affairs. I should thank you."

Wan Lianxing's tone of both kindness and severity made Zhong Siyu understand everything. Wan Lianxing didn't come here just to see her and Zhu'er. He came to blame Zhong Siyu for not disciplining Zhu'er strictly. How could Zhong Siyu pretend to be confused when she knew the truth? "My Lord, Yu'er, there will be no next time when the Yan family disciplines servants."

"It would be best if there is no next time. This time your leg was broken, but you can't be sure what will happen next time. Don't cry. Every failure is a learning experience. I'm relieved to see that you are okay. I have official duties to attend to, so I'll leave first."

"My Lord, wait a minute, is it true that there will be a war?"

"These are all speculations. We may not fight, but we still have to be on guard. However, the problem is not serious enough for you to run away on horseback. Listen to me, don't go to this horse farm in the future. If Cheng Youning instigates you to go riding again, just send someone to find me and I will deal with him."

Seeing Zhong Siyu standing there blankly, Wan Lianxing stood up and left.

Under Yuhua's protection, Cheng Youning escaped the disaster. This time he was not beaten but was directly locked up in the ancestral hall.

Cheng Youning had been in trouble so many times that he had become a tough guy. He was no longer afraid of being locked up in the ancestral hall. At this moment, he was lying lazily on the ground. Han Nianxia, ​​who knew about this, went over and leaned through the window to see Cheng Youning lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. She said, "Cheng Youning, I'm going to tell your father about you. You actually blasphemed the gods by lying in the ancestral hall."

Cheng Youning sat up and knelt down as soon as she heard it, and knelt there obediently, "Aunt Nianxia, ​​don't tell my father, he will be unhappy if he knows."

"Now you know to call me aunt, but it's too late."

Han Nianxia was still involved in that matter, so she went to Cheng Feng's yard and complained about Cheng Youning. Cheng Feng was furious, so how could he suppress his anger when someone complained about him? As a result, Cheng Youning didn't even get a bowl of water that day.

Even so, Han Nianxia would come to supervise Cheng Youning from time to time to see if he was kneeling there obediently. If not, she would run to Cheng Feng to complain. Cheng Youning was so angry that he cursed Han Nianxia in his heart. He completely stopped talking to Han Nianxia, ​​not saying a word.

Two days were enough to cure Cheng Youning's dry mouth, weak body and numb muscles.

After he came out, he went to see Zhu'er first. He just wanted to scare Zhu'er at that time. He didn't know that he could break someone's bones. He felt guilty.

But when Zhu'er saw him, she was as scared as if she had seen a ghost. "Young Master, Zhu'er knows she was wrong. I won't say bad things about you anymore. Please forgive me."

Cheng Youning said, "How could you be so stupid that you broke your leg? I fell off a horse before, and your young lady, Miss Zhong, also fell off a horse before, and Qiao Rong also fell off a horse before, but they were all fine. Why are you the only one who got hurt?"

Zhuer quickly said, "It's Zhuer who is stupid, it's Zhuer who is stupid."

"Don't worry, I won't beat your horse next time."

Zhu Erhua's tears fell: "Young Master, please forgive me. Zhu Er will never dare to ride a horse again."

"Don't cry, you coward. As long as you don't say bad things about me, I won't let you ride a horse again."

"Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to say anything bad about the young master. Zhu'er knows she was wrong."

Cheng Youning left with satisfaction after hearing this. He asked Qiao Rong, "Which courtyard does Han Nianxia live in?"

"Miss Han also lives near Madam Wan's courtyard, not far from here. Young Master, that Han Nianxia has complained about you so many times in front of you, causing you to have nothing to eat or drink for the past two days. Why are you still asking about her?"

Cheng Youning said, "I'm going to the dining hall to eat first. You go and send a message to Han Nianxia, ​​telling her that I'm going to pick wild flowers later. Ask her if she wants to go."

Qiao Rong said, "Is there any need to ask? Miss Han has so much free time, she will definitely go. Young Master, I think you'd better not call her. She will go to you and complain about you at any time. Because of her, you have suffered a lot in the past two days."

"Go and call her."

"Young Master, you hate her so much, what do you want her to do? If you want to pick flowers, I will go with you."

"She is not smart. She doesn't know I hate her. Just go and ask her to come over."

Qiao Rong didn't know what Cheng Youning was up to, but he went anyway. As expected, Han Nianxia came with her personal maid Qiu'er as invited. "Little Youyou, where are you going to pick wild flowers?"

"Aunt Nianxia, ​​I know a great place. The wild flowers all over the mountains are especially beautiful."

"Picking flowers is something we girls should do. Why do you, a little boy, like to pick wild flowers? This is not a serious matter."

Cheng Youning said, "Aunt Nianxia, ​​you don't know that my master, Mr. Huang, loves flowers and plants the most. I go up the mountain to pick some for him every few days, so I know where there are beautiful wild flowers."
