She heard that it was the yard of the second lady of the Gong family, so she and the teacher looked at it a few more times in tacit agreement.
Both of them knew the details of Lin Mengwu, so they naturally felt that it was extremely shameless for her to act so openly.
The two people didn't continue to scold him. They just obeyed Gong Tu's orders and didn't respect the second young lady very much.
"Hey, I think we have wandered far enough. I am an old man, but I can't help it anymore. Let's go back."
"Yes, sir."
She helped the teacher walk back, and because of the teacher's "frailness", she took a rest in the pavilion where she came from.
Opposite the pavilion is a pond.
There are clusters of water lilies lying in the pond, dyeing the pond green.
Although no one has taken good care of it, it still has a sense of wildness.
After the two of them admired the water lilies for a while, they saw a person dressed as a maid entering the pavilion.
Lin Mengya had met that person several times, and now she was serving Lin Mengwu.
When she saw them, the maid also had a sullen face and scolded them without even saying hello.
"Where did you come from, old man? Are you worthy of seeing the scenery here?"
Completely arrogant, she really looked like her master.
Lin Mengya's face darkened, but she did not get angry easily.
"Girl, we are just here to enjoy the lotus, and we have not offended you. Why do you have to be so harsh?"
"The scenery here belongs to my young lady. For people like you, just one look at it is already a blessing from your previous life. If you continue to behave like this without respect, I will ask someone to drive you out!"
The maid had her hands on her hips and was very angry.
The lady has been in a bad mood in recent days, and her errands have been difficult to do.
Now that I saw someone who was not as good as her, it just happened to be smashed out.
"You, you junior, why are you so rude and savage!"
The old miracle doctor must have never seen such a person before. For a moment, his fingers were trembling with anger and he pointed at the other person, and he couldn't even speak coherently.
When the apprentice saw this, he immediately went over to rub his chest.
"Sir, you can't be so angry, your health is very important!"
When the maid saw this, she laughed even more wildly.
"Things that are useless are better off dead!"
The apprentice was really irritated and stepped forward to reason.
"How can you be so vicious? My husband is the miracle doctor specially invited by Mr. Ma to treat your master. It's fine if you don't thank me, why bother treating people so badly!"
It was a good thing she didn't mention it. After mentioning it, the maid became even more angry.
If it weren't for that nosy Mr. Ma, why would the young lady lose such a temper
"Hey, a miracle doctor? If you are really a miracle doctor, why don't you meet my master? I think he is just an old liar! Bah, it's not shameful to do such a thing at such an old age!"
The old miracle doctor had never been scolded by someone pointing his nose like this before. He rolled his eyes and slumped to the ground.
The apprentice kept calling him sir, and the two people who were resting outside the pavilion also realized that something was wrong and came over immediately.
"You insulted my husband like this, and I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
The apprentice didn't wait for the two men to come over. After placing his husband on the ground, he turned around and rushed forward.
In an instant, the two people struggled together.
The maid's trembling screams made the place extremely lively.
The people outside immediately came up to pull him away, but I don’t know what the two people did. They saw the apprentice and the maid knocking against the railing of the pavilion.
There was a "bang", the maid was at the bottom, the apprentice was at the top, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Then the other person heard a "crash" sound, and both of them fell into the water.
"Save me! Ah! I don't know how to swim!"
The maidservant floated like crazy and asked for help, but the young apprentice did not come up to the shore.
After the people in the pavilion were stunned for a moment, they immediately looked for someone to rescue them.
"Ah! Someone caught me! Help..."
The maid was already panicking, but at some point, a cold hand was wrapped around her ankle.
The hand pulled her down hard, and she was caught off guard and took a big gulp of water.
The mouth and nose were completely blocked, and ice-cold water poured in at any time.
The maid had completely lost the ability to think. She only felt that the hands on her feet were getting closer and closer.
Fear made her even more panicked.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a face appearing in front of her.
The face was emerald green, a little unclear under the water.
But she could see the general outline. She seemed to see the green face with its bloody mouth open, as if it wanted to eat her.
The maidservant was so frightened that she stared at the green face and slid her limbs desperately, trying to get rid of the cold hand.
But unfortunately, she could only sink deeper and deeper.
Soon, the person fainted.
snort! Straw bag!
Lin Mengya threw away the lotus leaf that she had grabbed and covered her face with, turned around and swam to the position under the pavilion.
No one knew that the bottom of this small hall was actually built in the water.
At the same time, they didn't know that there was a sealed space hiding something here.
Lin Mengya opened a loose brick and dug out a small paper bag wrapped in tarpaulin.
After hiding the things in the pre-sewed pockets inside her clothes, she quickly swam to the place where she had just fallen into the water.
It only lasted a few minutes in total, and the oxygen in her mouth was almost exhausted.
With her last breath, she swam hard to the lake.
Finally, she broke through the water like a dexterous mermaid, and then someone stretched out an oar.
"Here! People are here!"
She grabbed the oar and breathed heavily without any secret.
Soon, the maid who fainted from her fright was also rescued, but at this time, her breathing was very weak.
"Quick, press the water out of her stomach!"
She was "weak" and was pulled onto the boat, but she was still very "kind" in giving advice to the other party.
The experienced servant in charge of rescuing people immediately pressed the maid's belly.
After the maid spit out the pool water that she had choked in, she suddenly seemed to be crazy and shouted loudly.
"Yes, there is a ghost! There is a ghost under the pool! She pulled my feet and wanted to eat me!"
As she spoke, she pulled hard on the sleeve of the person who saved her. Her body was trembling, as if she was extremely frightened.
Suddenly, the faces of the people around him became a little unsightly.
Fortunately, at this time, Lin Mengya said weakly.
"She was probably frightened by drowning. She could wake up with just two slaps."
Before everyone understood what she meant, they saw the maid crying and fussing, and even dragging her sleeves hard to lead her into the pool.
"Look, look, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
The man didn't pay attention and almost let the maid take him into the pool.
The people on the shore were afraid of being implicated, so a sharp-tongued woman stepped forward, raised her arms, and gave the maid a few hard blows in the mouth.
"Please wake up to me! Wherever there is a ghost, it's all your own imagination!"
The maid suddenly became quiet.
She looked at those people blankly, her eyes motionless.
Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, everyone quickly dispersed, and someone took the maid away.
But from now on, I'm afraid she will never dare to go near the pond again.
"Euzhong, are you okay?"
The old miracle doctor, who was almost "angry to death" just now, poked his head out of the pavilion and asked with concern.
Lin Mengya still maintained her soft and frail look and responded.
"Thank you sir for your concern. Eucommia ulmoides is fine. Thank you also to the brothers for helping me. If it weren't for you, Eucommia ulmoides might have died here."
She bowed deeply and said it sincerely.
Compared with the crazy woman over there who almost pulled someone into the water, it is obvious that she is what a drowning person should look like.
Those people quickly said it was okay, comforted her a few more words, and then sent her and the teacher back to Xiyuan.
But on the way, they already understood the whole process.
He also knew that it was the maidservant who was rude and almost made the old miracle doctor angry to death. He didn't say anything and even dragged her into the water.
"My husband came here to treat the masters and young masters of the Gong family. But she, she actually cursed my husband to death. I really don't know where we offended her."
He deliberately spoke pitifully and sadly, and the few people who heard him immediately became angry.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the two men sent by Gong Tu. After the two men looked at each other vaguely, one of them fell a few steps behind and disappeared.
Presumably, he went to report the news to his master.
When she arrived at the courtyard, she and the teacher thanked the servants a few more times, then closed the door on the grounds that she was frightened after falling into the water.
As soon as he got quiet, the teacher urged him tightly.
"Go and change your clothes quickly so you don't catch a cold!"
She immediately went back to her room, changed into clean clothes, and then boiled hot water and took a shower.
After she returned to the teacher refreshed, she saw Gong Tu sitting in the teacher's room.
Seeing her coming, Gong Tu asked immediately.
"I wonder how your health is now, little brother? I'm really sorry. It was my lax treatment that made you suffer such a fright in vain."
She had already heard the noise in the house, so she didn't reveal any flaws.
But his eyes were slightly uneasy, as if he had been frightened.
Seeing Gong Tu asking this, he timidly said, "I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Tu, for your concern."
"Well, it's okay. I'm ashamed to say it. That maid is a rough girl who serves my niece, and she is usually uneducated. I don't know what happened today, but she dared to rush into my distinguished guest. If I look back, I will be seriously injured. Punish her!"
Gong Tu's words, in addition to clearing the relationship, were also testing her as to why the maid offended them instead of being offended by others.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had already prepared a countermeasure. She lowered her head and spoke with a hint of injustice.
"Eu Zhong doesn't know why she is like this. Even if we have just entered the mansion and don't understand the rules of the mansion, we shouldn't be like this. Besides, I have made it clear again and again that my husband is here to treat the master of the Gong family. But, That woman seems to be crazy, it’s really puzzling.”
