Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

I learned a lot of red tape and family rules from the housekeeper. I was dizzy and my back ached. I finally waited for lunch, but it turned into a live lesson on etiquette. I didn't eat much, but I ate a lot of scolding. I simply said I was full to avoid further scolding. In the afternoon, I really couldn't concentrate on learning, so I found an excuse to slip away, saying that I had to do the errand assigned by the master.

When I got back to the place, I hugged Xiaowei and rubbed her hair, making her braids fluffy.

"Oh! It's still good here! I have no worries with you guys, and I feel so happy even when writing books!"

Xiao Hui came over after hearing the voice: "Of course not! We both look forward to chatting with the girl and listening to her stories all day long!"

I thought about it, Xiao Wei rarely goes out unless there is something to do, and Xiao Hui dares not go out even more. It is indeed just this little bit of fun. I felt a little bit reluctant, so I waved my little hand and said, "Then come and listen to the story quickly!"

Xiao Hui smiled happily, quickly fetched the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and said, "Okay!"

I thought that since I had time today, I would let them listen for a while longer, so I talked until the sun set. It was almost time for dinner, and I thought about going to the small kitchen to eat and seeing Lan Mei's weird and sour face, which made me lose my appetite. But the two hungry kids in the room had to eat, so I planned to go get some food and bring it back.

As I was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door twice. I asked, "Who is it?"

"Miss Lanxiang, it's me, Chaolu." She was a little cleaning maid. She was said to have been frightened by the thieves in the mansion a while ago and fell seriously ill. She has only returned to duty these few days.

I opened the door and saw a little girl with a gray face standing at the door. I asked her, "What do you want from me? If Jingui asked you to call me for dinner, I'll go right away."

Zhaolu swallowed her saliva and said anxiously: "No, Miss Lanxiang, it's the young master!"

I heard her urgent tone and couldn't help but get anxious: "What's wrong with the young master? What happened?!"

She looked around and whispered to me, "The young master rode a crane out to track down the thieves this afternoon and was injured. His spiritual power was greatly reduced. He is now in Tushan Xueyun Cave, relying on the healing spiritual spring water to survive for a while. Miss Jingye has already gone there first and told me to leave a message for you to go to the young master's study to get the immortal elixir, and then follow me to bring it to the young master. Also, do not publicize the young master's injury. If there are too many people, it will be bad if someone takes advantage of the situation."

I grabbed her and asked, "How is the young master's injury? Is he not in danger of death?!"

Chaolu shook her head: "Not yet, but it is definitely difficult to replenish spiritual power after losing it for a long time. Miss, you need this immortal pill quickly."

I said, "Okay, wait here," and ran to the study.

I ran to the study, the door was not locked, but there was no one guarding the door either. I didn't care about anything else and ran straight in.

That elixir, although I don't know what it looks like, I think it must be a rare item, and it won't be displayed in the treasure pavilion. It's probably a small bottle, and it won't be placed in the rattan box that usually holds large items. Then there is only...

My eyes fell on the drawer of Tu Shanjing's study, and I walked over and quickly opened it. The first layer was filled with wolf-hair brushes, inkstones, and inkstones, neatly stacked together. The second layer was filled with some booklets, and I carefully opened them to see that there was nothing covered underneath. The third layer was filled with some paperweights that were not usually used, and there was a small bottle next to the paperweight. Is this it?! I picked it up and looked at it carefully. There were a few small words written on the bottle in a winding way. I have never regretted so much that I didn't learn to read and write, and I couldn't recognize what this was... Wait a minute!

Suddenly I thought of a possibility, and my scalp went numb. Jingye was always careful, so why would she give such an important matter to someone like me who couldn't read? !

But it was too late. With a "bang", the door was opened forcefully, and Lan Mei appeared at the door with a look of pride and contempt on her face.

"You are so bad, Lanxiang! The master treats you well on weekdays, but you actually stole things when he was not around!" She pointed her finger, a red light flew over, and I fell heavily to the ground, and the small bottle rolled out.

"Look! This is called catching the perpetrator red-handed!" Lan Mei pointed at the maids and servants behind her and shouted. I looked up and saw people whispering, shaking their heads, and standing there in silence. There was no sign of Jingye and Jingui in the crowd. I only saw Senying and hurriedly said to her, "Senying, Senying! Go and ask Jingye to come over for me!"

Mori Ying nodded, turned around and ran out, and I felt a little relieved. I saw a cowering figure out of the corner of my eye, and I pointed at her and shouted, "It's her! Chaolu tricked me into coming here!"

Chaolu's face became even more gloomy, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "Miss, please don't hurt Chaolu. Chaolu has only been back on duty for a few days. How can he talk to you?"

I was so angry that I kept shouting, "You! Slap your conscience and speak! Did you lie and say that the young master was injured and tricked me into coming here?!"

Chaolu opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Lan Mei took over the conversation: "Alright, alright, don't drag others into this. We have more than a dozen pairs of eyes that can see it clearly. It's useless to drag others into this! Someone, tie her up for me!"

Two servants received the order and came forward to tie me up. I refused to obey and struggled vigorously. They could not do anything to me for a while. One of the servants was sweating with anxiety and kicked me in the back. I was already in pain from the fall, and the pain was even more excruciating. I lay on the ground and could not get up, so I had to let them tie me up.

Everyone was either shocked or reluctant, but no one dared to speak. Only Lan Mei was smiling. She opened her palm, a red light flashed, and a handcuff appeared in her hand. She slowly slid the handcuff across my face, bent down and whispered, "How is it? The thing you are familiar with is here? Do you miss it?"

I clenched my teeth, trying hard not to moan, and looked up and gave her a cold look.

She said angrily, "How dare you glare at me?! You don't miss it, but it misses you very much!" As soon as she finished speaking, she clamped the pliers on my hand and clamped it up mercilessly.

My fingers were connected to my heart, and I couldn't help crying out in pain, tears streaming down my face. Some of the timid maids couldn't bear to watch, so they closed their eyes and turned away. Lan Mei pointed at them and said loudly: "Did you see?! This is the fate of the thief! I'll report it to Madam Rui Er later, and see if we can chop off her hands!"

"When did Madam Rui Er become the housekeeper? I didn't know it!" At this moment, a shout came from outside the door, and Jing Ye strode in. Seeing me tied up and thrown on the ground, she frowned and squatted down to check my injuries.

"If there's a thief in the house, even if we report it to the housekeeper, he should be beaten!" Lan Mei said loudly with her neck tilted and her face raised.

Jingye picked up the small bottle that had fallen to the ground, took a look at it, and then retorted: "Lanxiang has never been interested in cultivation, and she hasn't used her spiritual power recently. What's the use of this immortal elixir? You are so bold to use private punishment without knowing the facts! Besides, the young master's study is such a confidential place, how can you bring so many people in?! If something is really lost, you will be in danger of your life!"

Lan Mei's arrogance was half suppressed, but she still refused to admit defeat and argued: "They followed me in on their own. When did I take them in? It's not certain who will lose their life! Get out, get out!" After saying that, she turned around and drove away the maids and servants behind her, and closed the door herself.
