"Husband, Madam, what should we do now?" The head maid who had just escaped death asked Jiang Wenyue anxiously. The earthquake had finally stopped, but now the servants in the house were either injured or killed, or had fled. The people who stayed behind were like headless flies, in chaos and had no idea what to do, so they had to ask their mistress.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wenyue, the mistress, was crying while holding her child. When she heard the maid's question, she just shook her head helplessly: "What should I do? I don't know what to do. My child is injured..."
"Madam, please find a doctor to treat the injuries of the young masters." In the end, it was the wet nurse who had injured her leg who gritted her teeth and reminded Jiang Wenyue.
"Yes, yes... We need to find a doctor to check the babies' injuries first..." Jiang Wenyue, who had no idea what was going on, could only repeat the nurse's words like a yes-man.
"But, but it must be very chaotic outside now. Can we find a doctor? Or what if even the doctor is injured?" The head maid was worried that there would be aftershocks and it would be even more dangerous if she went out, so she was reluctant to go out.
"Everyone is still in shock and is celebrating their escape. Why are you making such a fuss? Go quickly. The young masters' injuries can't wait!" said the wet nurse, frowning. In fact, she also had a little selfish motive. After all, her injured leg also needed to be treated by a doctor.
"That's right! Qiuyue, go quickly, don't delay any longer. There are still many injured people in the mansion, and we have to hire a doctor no matter what." Jiang Wenyue said to the maid with tears in her eyes, begging, "Just consider it as me begging you, Qiuyue..."
Qiuyue was a slave after all. Although Jiang Wenyue was usually very kind and gentle to her and said that they were like sisters, she always remembered that she was just a servant. How could she listen to the master's "please"? Therefore, she did not dare to disobey and had to grit her teeth to find a doctor.
After Qiuyue left, no one spoke anymore. The only sounds were the groans and miserable wails that came one after another, which was creepy. As Jiang Wenyue listened, she became more panicked. She hugged her child and cried, burying her face in her child. She didn't dare to look around, for fear of seeing the injured who were crushed under the rubble and bleeding.
Jiang Wenyue was extremely scared. She had never encountered such a situation before, and there was no one around to help her. She felt helpless and desolate, and missed her husband who was far away in Liangzhou very much.
"Cui Lang! Why aren't you by my side now? I miss you..." Jiang Wenyue cried helplessly, hoping that Cui Anhua would appear in front of her the next moment, handle everything for her, give her support, and save her from having to face these cruel realities.
When the wet nurse saw that she was just holding the child and crying, doing nothing else, and still relying on her husband who was far away, her face suddenly twisted. Although she knew that her master was weak in character, and had only cared about love for most of her life and ignored other household affairs, but now that things were so urgent, she still looked like she was waiting for others to do everything for her. The wet nurse couldn't help but blame her. She was really a hopeless case.
“Madam, please don’t cry. We have to save people now before the earth dragon turns over.” The wet nurse said anxiously. Her whole family followed Jiang Wenyue into the Cui family and became servants of the Cui family. Therefore, the people buried under the rubble now might be her descendants. How could she not be anxious
"Save, save people? I, I don't know how to save them." Jiang Wenyue, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, said to the wet nurse in a daze and innocently.
The wet nurse was almost so angry that her heart ached because of her words: "Madam, I am not asking you to rescue them yourself. I want you to order those who are not injured to rescue them. If the rescue is too late, some of the seriously injured may die, so Madam, please give the orders quickly." The wet nurse explained while gritting her teeth.
“Oh, oh…” Jiang Wenyue realized pitifully that he was wrong after hearing her words, and he awkwardly ordered the other servants who had nothing to do to go and rescue people.
However, as the mistress, she had no authority in the hearts of these servants, so even if she gave orders, they would drag their feet, look sad and pretend to be pitiful, saying, "Madam, we just escaped death, our legs are weak, and we don't have the strength to save people."
"Yes, and what if the earth dragon turns over again while we are rescuing people? Then not only will we not be able to save people, but we will also be killed, right?" said the cowardly servant.
"Then, what should we do?" Jiang Wenyue, who had no opinion at all, hesitated again after hearing the servants' excuses for delaying. She was a kind-hearted person, and the servants were also human beings. She couldn't let them save others and lose their own lives, right
So she looked at the wet nurse hesitantly, hoping that she could give her some advice.
When Nanny saw her look, she was almost furious, but she had no other choice but to hold her breath and sternly say to those sneaky servants: "What? Don't you even listen to the master's words? I think you are just afraid of death and want to be lazy! If you don't go to save people, I will tell the old lady and the general about this and see if you will listen to them!"
When the servants heard this, they looked at each other for a while, and finally went to rescue the people reluctantly. Although they dared not take Jiang Wenyue seriously, the old lady and the general did not dare to do so.
"Old Madam? Old Madam!" Jiang Wenyue looked at the nanny in horror and said, "Madam, where is the old madam? How is she now?"
The nanny was also shocked, and finally remembered that there was an old lady in the mansion, but how was the old lady now? They had no idea!
"It's bad, it's bad! Madam, quickly send someone to check on the old lady first!" The nanny was also panicking. It would be fine if the other servants died, but the old lady couldn't be in danger! A hundred servants were not worth the life of one old lady.
"Mammy, what if something happens to the old lady? Will my husband blame me for not protecting her?" Jiang Wenyue was already fragile inside. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had neglected her mother-in-law. Now she didn't know whether her mother-in-law was alive or dead. She immediately broke down and cried.
"Stop crying! Send someone to find the old lady!" The wet nurse finally didn't care about the rebellion and shouted at Jiang Wenyue.
Jiang Wenyue was like a millstone in a workshop, it would only move when pushed, so he hurriedly sent someone to check on Cui's mother.
At this time, Cui's mother was almost fainted from excessive shock. When the earthquake occurred, her servants were all busy escaping for their own lives, leaving only two loyal maids to save her. As a result, perhaps because the house she lived in was very old, it collapsed very quickly. Unfortunately, when the house collapsed, Cui's mother and the two maids were trapped underneath. One maid threw herself on Cui's mother and died on the spot, while the other did not die, but like Cui's mother, she was seriously injured.
