"It's just on the way, why ask you to come again?" Lian Fangzhou smiled, watching A Jian and Lian Ze help move the two baskets of vegetables back to the kitchen, and asked with a smile: "How about the newly dug well?"
"My servant is also thinking about it. I went to see it as soon as the door opened in the morning. Fortunately, it's okay!" Li said with a smile.
Lian Fangzhou was half relieved when she heard what she said, and took a look with A Jian and Lian Ze, and it turned out that the well water was so quiet and clear. Because the edge of the well was built with the best blue bricks, there was no crack or anything, so I felt relieved.
"Are those people still honest? Has there been any trouble in the past two days?" A-Jian glanced at the place where the twelve servants lived, and asked.
"It's all okay, it's okay, it's okay!" Li said with a smile.
Lian Fangzhou's eyes flashed, and she clearly saw the hesitation in Li's eyes. And Zhang Xiuer simply lowered her head.
Lian Fangzhou immediately became alert, stared at Mrs. Li and asked, "What happened?"
"No, nothing..." Li shuddered and lowered her head subconsciously. She is not a liar, and she is in front of her master, what she said is so breathless and guilty that no one needs to say it.
A Jian and Lian Ze looked at each other, and A Jian said, "Let's go to the concierge first."
Lian Fangzhou nodded, watched them go, and then asked Mrs. Li what happened
Lian Fangzhou became a little impatient with Li's submissiveness and timidity, and frowned, "You should tell me quickly! If you don't say anything, you are covering up those servants. When I turn around, I will call people over and ask them one by one. , and punish you together!"
"No!" Li Shi screamed, her knees softened, and she knelt down in front of Lian Fangzhou, crying softly.
"Girl!" Zhang Xiu'er couldn't help crying and knelt down, kowtowed to Lian Fangzhou and cried, "Girl, I beg you to be the master of your servant!"
Lian Fangzhou's heart tightened, he frowned and was about to ask, when Li stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Xiu'er, begging, "Miss, can you let Xiu'er go out first?"
Lian Fangzhou was really impatient and nodded.
Zhang Xiu'er obediently got up and left.
Only then did Li cried aloud, and told Lian Fangzhou the reason intermittently.
Lian Fangzhou was furious.
It turned out that it was Li Si who molested Zhang Xiu'er. It's fine to speak rudely, but last night she became vicious and secretly guarded. When Zhang Xiu'er brought hot tea to Qin Feng and Su Ziji, she had the audacity to hold her back to force her.
Frightened, Zhang Xiu'er managed to escape and went home crying loudly. After hearing this, the whole family was extremely angry and dared not speak up. After all, it is women who suffer from such things. The mother and daughter almost cried all night last night.
"You guys are so confused!" Lian Fangzhou was so angry that his face turned blue after hearing this, and he said angrily, "Even if I don't ask you about this kind of thing, you should take the initiative to report to me, why don't you ask me again and again?" Don't say it? Are you going to let your daughter suffer for nothing? Last night was a fluke, what if there is another time? How many times have you been lucky!"
Li's face turned pale, and she covered her face and cried bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but this kind of thing is really—girl, I beg you, I beg you, please don't assign our Xiu'er to Li Si! Nothing really happened between Wan Xiuer and him!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lian Fangzhou was amused and annoyed, and said, "Why do you think so!"
Mrs. Li just cried and couldn't say anything other than begging.
In fact, she didn't need to say anything, Lian Fangzhou understood after a little thought.
Hasn't it been like this since ancient times? Whether it's being cheated or forced, after having skin-to-skin contact, the woman's innocence is gone, and she can't be said to be a good family. There is no other choice but to marry the man who ruined her innocence!
Even if that person is a scoundrel, he can only accept his fate!
Thinking of this, Lian Fangzhou suddenly hesitated.
Li Si must be severely punished—not severely punished, but she will not keep him anymore. But to deal with him, it is necessary to make this matter public, not only to convince everyone, but also to make an example of others.
But in this way, Zhang Xiu'er's boudoir reputation will inevitably be damaged.
Lian Fangzhou couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so she said to Li Shi: "Get up first, don't let Xiu'er walk around alone these few days, not only at night, there are few people living in this big courtyard, and several courtyards are full of people. No one, who knows what happens randomly? You should be more vigilant, that bastard Li Si, I won’t let him go! Don’t worry!”
Li's face turned pale, and she said urgently: "Girl, I beg you, please don't talk about this matter, if you do, Xiu'er's reputation will be completely ruined!"
"The Qing is self-clearing, what are you afraid of?" Lian Fangzhou frowned, seeing Li Shi's pale face and looking anxious, he said again: "Okay, I know how to measure it! Don't let Xiu'er go out today. Let her have a good rest in the house. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible!"
"Yes, girl..." Mrs. Li agreed with her head bowed, watching Lian Fangzhou go. She still didn't understand whether Lian Fangzhou agreed to her request not to make this matter public, and she couldn't help but feel agitated.
Lian Fangzhou took two deep breaths, calmed down, and asked Lian Ze and A Jian to go out together to Xiaohuaguo Mountain.
Lian Ze couldn't help asking: "Sister, what happened? Why is your face so ugly?"
"Ah?" Lian Fangzhou was stunned, couldn't help touching his face and said, "Is it so obvious? I think I have hidden it well!"
Ah Jian couldn't help but chuckled, and said, "Such a complexion is well hidden? Take a mirror and look at yourself!"
Lian Fangzhou sighed lightly, and then said: "You are all my closest and most trustworthy people, and there is nothing I can't say. But after you hear it, don't tell others!" After speaking, she briefly explained the matter over again.
"It's so unreasonable! This is too outrageous!" Lian Ze said bitterly: "How can there be such a shameless person! Sister Xiu'er is a good and innocent girl, so it's hard for him to be bullied for nothing. He has parents around, so he is not afraid to settle accounts with him!"
Ah Jian raised her eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "I can't see that Li Si is a scheming man, a good idea! Fortunately, nothing happened last night. If Zhang Xiu'er is really ruined by him, even if Zhang Xiaojun and his wife hate her , besides marrying Zhang Xiuer to him, is there a second choice?"
"This, this—" Lian Ze was dumbfounded, but in the end he lost his temper. He only felt suffocated and panicked in his heart, and said for a while: "What's the reason for this? !Also, there really doesn't seem to be any other good way..."
Lian Ze suddenly exclaimed "Oh!" and hurriedly said: "Sister, then, shouldn't this matter be made public? Otherwise there will be rumors. Could it be that Li Si is allowed to have fun!"
