Chapter 16 Returning home
Xie Zhichan, who was living a miserable life in a farm outside Beijing, had no idea that he had a fiancé who was the top scholar in the imperial examination. He also had no idea that his fiancé was so handsome that he was noticed by Princess Anle while strolling on the street.
She was leaning on a chaise longue in a pavilion in the cherry blossom forest, listening to Xiao Liu'er reciting a lesson while watching the spring breeze blowing the willows and the grass growing and the orioles flying.
What Xiao Liu'er was reciting today was the last chapter of "The Book of Poison King's Medicine". Although he was a little halting, it was rare for him to recite it to this level since he had just learned it yesterday.
After Xiao Liu'er finished reciting the poem, Xie Zhichan was very impressed. He patted Xiao Liu'er on the head and praised him, "Xiao Liu'er, when you go out alone in the future, you will be able to protect yourself."
Xiao Liuer smiled innocently and said, "Why should I go out alone? I must stay with the young lady for the rest of my life."
Xie Zhichan just smiled and said perfunctorily: "Okay. Anyway, I'll let you stay with me before you leave."
At this moment, Aunt Wu suddenly ran over and said, "Miss, something is wrong. Please go back to the yard."
Xie Zhichan said, "Miss, I'm fine! What's wrong? Are the newly born piglets having diarrhea again? It's a good opportunity to ask Liu'er to take a look and prescribe a prescription."
Aunt Wu wanted to cry but had no tears. In recent days, the eldest daughter had been teaching Miss Liu'er medicine. Miss Liu'er had checked on all the livestock on the farm, from chickens, ducks, fish, frogs to pigs, cows, sheep, etc. Now, these livestock were in very good health and were full of energy all day long.
"My lady, the piglets are all fine, it's you who are really in trouble. Someone is coming to take you back home. But I think that nanny looks ferocious and difficult to get along with. I'm afraid she will make things difficult for you."
Xie Zhichan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Aunt Wu, saying, "Very difficult to get along with? Can you be as difficult to get along with as you, Aunt Wu?"
Aunt Wu choked and said angrily, "Miss, that's all in the past. Besides, we were ordered by our superiors to make things difficult for you, but we have changed now."
Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "Look, Miss, I can make you all turn over a new leaf, and the same goes for others."
Aunt Wu thought to herself, "That's still different. After all, the head of the Duke's Mansion is Concubine Yang, and when the eldest daughter returns to the mansion, she will be under Concubine Yang's nose. It's not like being in this farm, where the sky is high and the ground is far away."
But she didn't dare to say anything, she just nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes."
Xie Zhichan thought about the resentment in the original owner's heart, and felt that it was time to return to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.
When she returned to the yard, she saw two carriages parked at the gate. The carvings and brocade on the carriages were not as good as the one given to her by a rich family on the way back to Beijing. She could not help but curl her lips - this concubine Yang was really petty. She started to show off her power from now on. She was so shallow and not worthy of being teased. I don’t know who her mother was, a soft and soft girl, who actually lost to such a concubine.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw people kneeling on the ground in the yard. A maid with a golden hairpin on her head was standing with her hands on her hips and giving them a lecture: "Don't forget whose servants you are. Don't think that the master can't control you just because you are in the manor. The eldest lady was entrusted to you so that you can take good care of her. Now that she has gone out to play, you didn't even send anyone to follow her. If she causes any trouble that will embarrass the Duke of Wei's Mansion, you will have a lot to worry about!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked from behind and fell forward. The servants kneeling on the ground wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and they were having a hard time holding it in.
The woman immediately got up and yelled at the people behind her: "Who?! Who dares to kick me?"
Xie Zhichan stared at the woman and said, "I, your aunt, kicked you. Now, tell me who you are! How dare you act wildly in my territory!"
When the old woman saw the woman's appearance and tone, she knew that she was the eldest daughter who was thrown onto the farm by Concubine Yang. She sneered in her heart, thinking that such domineering behavior was exactly what her master wanted. She would wait and see how her master would punish this little bitch when she returned.
She raised her head, glared at Xie Zhichan, and said, "I am the head nanny in Yang's room at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. My surname is Li."
Xiao Liuer brought a stool and placed it behind Xie Zhichan. Xie Zhichan sat down calmly and asked Li Ma, "Tell me, whose servants are they? What have I done to embarrass the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
Li Ma Ma raised her chin and replied proudly, "They are of course the servants of the Duke's Mansion. Miss, you didn't make a fool of yourself right now, but you have lived freely on the farm these years and have never learned any etiquette or manners. If no one is with you, you will inevitably make a mess."
Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "Since they are servants of the Duke's Mansion, I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion and also their master. I told them not to follow me, so why can't they listen to me? Or, in your eyes, I am not the master of the Duke's Mansion? How come Yang Yi Niang, who is half a servant, has become a real master? I would like to ask the wives of the officials in the capital, is this considered decent?"
These words immediately left Li Ma speechless. Although Yang concubine was the head of the Duke's Mansion now, the real lady was still alive. Only the servants in the Duke's Mansion recognized Yang concubine as the mistress. But in the eyes of outsiders, such things in the Duke's Mansion were favoring concubines and ignoring wives, which was not acceptable.
Nanny Li was silent for a long time before she said, "Now that the young lady is back, please hurry back to the mansion with me. I came here specially to pick you up today."
Xie Zhichan, however, was planning to bring some gifts back to Aunt Yang, and said, "You just called me a damned fool, and I heard it. What is the punishment for a servant insulting his master in the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
Madam Li did not try to defend herself. She said, "I am a quick-witted servant. I didn't realize it was you, Miss, that's why I offended you. Please forgive me for the sake of Auntie."
Xie Zhichan raised a finger, smiled and shook it at Li Ma, saying, "Madam Yang is a servant, you have no face in front of me. Since you said that I have not learned any etiquette and manners, I really don't know how to punish you. Why not give you a three-night wake-up call to serve as a warning to others."
The people kneeling in the yard couldn't help shaking when they heard the three o'clock in the morning, and they can still remember those vivid nightmares.
Nanny Li didn't know what waking up in the middle of the night meant, she just felt that the young lady was too domineering. She really didn't understand who was in charge in the Duke's Mansion?
He pointed at her and was about to remind her of something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a pill was stuffed into her mouth and slid down her throat. He asked in panic and fear, "Miss, what did you give me to eat?"
Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "Good stuff, you will know tonight. Since you are here to pick me up, let's go."
After saying that, he took Liu'er out of the gate and got on the first carriage.
In her heart, she said to the real Xie Zhichan: "Don't worry, Aunt Yang's good days are over, and I will protect your mother for you."
