What else is there to consider
I agree!
Ten thousand gold coins, I didn't even dare to think about it before. This is enough for me to spend two or three years happily in Yuxi City. During this period, you don't have to think about anything, you can buy whatever you want, who doesn't like this kind of life.
To be honest, I basically don't believe a single word of the accounts presented by Abel and the others.
It's okay to show this play to Bai Huang, some things can't be real no matter how well they are acted out.
Not to mention too much, if the royal family was really so vulnerable, Lord Lingwu would have brought her 80,000 cavalry southward long ago, right? And why bother for so many years to be stuck in the north where a person froze to death.
The situation in the capital is not optimistic. These parasites are crazily sucking the blood of the country, swallowing all the resources into their stomachs. But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the royal family and the court make up their minds to save these 300,000 people, they will definitely be able to spend the money.
I didn't expose this lie, what's the point of exposing it
Tamrose is quite right, good wine is much better than plain water. What good would it do me to help Umi bring down Tamrose? Nothing. And Tamrose is willing to actually take out 10,000 gold coins. This is certainly a friend of a villain, but I am not a gentleman at all.
I narrowed my eyes, a little hesitant, so I said:
"Let me think about it. Please tell me where the restroom is in the house. After drinking so much tea, go to the restroom first."
Tamrose smiled and called a man who looked like a butler, and asked him to lead me there.
Tamrose's mansion is indeed very large, and the toilet is quite far away. The butler led me all the way there, and I was also thinking about it along the way, weighing which side to support. I guess Tamrose is looking for me today because in his opinion, I am far easier to persuade than Bai Huang, as long as he can get me done, the matter is basically half done.
In fact, I was indeed hesitant. In the final analysis, although I participated in this matter, I have no intersection with any of them, I don't know Umi, and I don't know Tamrose. From a neutral point of view, it is true that favoring Tamrose can bring more benefits, so why not do it
While walking with his head down, suddenly a crazy female voice came from his ear:
"My child, my child..."
I looked over there and saw a woman crying while hugging a tree. She was wearing a sarong and her hair was disheveled. There was an overturned wooden tub beside her, and some washed clothes were scattered on the floor, stained with dust.
Soon, several maids who also carried the laundry ran over, and one of them frowned and said:
"I'm sick again. How many times this month, it's really not worrying when it's Chinese New Year."
The remaining few maids were chirping and discussing:
"Yes, yes, are you going to tell the master?"
"Isn't the master entertaining distinguished guests? If you go now, you will probably be scolded."
"Drag her back first, keep her mouth shut, and just lock her up in a small black room for a few days. Didn't you all do this before? Listen to me, she's right."
The maid who spoke first said:
"Hold her hand, hurry up."
I saw several maids rushing up to stop the mad woman, but the mad woman was so strong that her nails dug deep into the bark, and she refused to leave with them, and the other maids pushed and shoved her. The crazy woman had blood on her fingers, and the other maids were exhausted. Panting, one of the maids raised her hand and slapped her on the face, scolding:
"I thought you were the master's concubine, but I tell you, now I'm a laundry maid!"
The crazy woman ignored what they said, just shook her head, looked at them with red eyes, and said:
"Give me back my child, give me back!! Where did you hide her... Yes, this tree must be under this tree... After all these years, I still found it. Good baby, mom I'm here to pick you up..."
A maid kicked her in the stomach and cursed:
"Your child? Your child is dead long ago! Are you still dreaming there?"
The maids all laughed and said:
"I still want to be pregnant with the seed of the master, to be aloof."
"Dare to fight against Madam, this is the price."
"Fox spirit, you keep showing off, why don't you show off? Get up!"
While laughing, while playing.
The crazy woman didn't seem to feel the pain, she just hugged the tree and cried. The face that still had charm was scratched by nails, and blood flowed continuously. The body is also covered with footprints, and the tearful eyes of the mother-in-law really make me feel pity. She didn't resist, she just kept digging the soil with her hands, and she didn't give up when she dug to the roots of the trees, as if she was stubbornly looking for some treasure.
I watched for a while, and the housekeeper beside me didn't dare to take me away by force, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only watch with me.
I turned my head and asked with interest:
"Who is this person?"
The fat housekeeper wiped the sweat from his face and said:
"It's just a servant. I'm sorry for dirtying your eyes. When I come back, I'll say hello to the laundry room and beat this man up hard!"
I shook my head, didn't look at the scene over there, and continued walking with the housekeeper. When I arrived at the door of the bathroom, I took out a gold coin from my pocket, gently handed it to the housekeeper, and said calmly:
"There's no one here. Tell me, I like listening to stories."
The housekeeper showed embarrassment, pushed the gold coin back, and said:
"It's against the rules..."
I looked at him quietly, smiled, took out a bag of gold coins from my pocket, there were about twenty or thirty gold coins, threw it into his arms, and just said lightly:
"speak."
Hearing the ding-dong sound of gold coins colliding, the housekeeper trembled, opened the bag, took a look, looked around again, and carefully put the bag into his arms.
Then he said:
"Well, this is still against the rules. I can't tell outsiders what's going on in the house... But, um, um, you go to the toilet here, and I'm talking to myself outside, if you accidentally overhear something, no wonder Me. This matter is not considered a secret in the mansion, so I just said it casually and told the air."
I smiled, went into the bathroom, and leaned against the door.
From the gap, one can see the butler standing not far from the door, staring at his toes, and said to himself:
"It's said that misfortunes depend on blessings, and blessings depend on misfortunes. No one can say anything about luck. Let's talk about that crazy woman, alas, she was still singing in brothels more than ten years ago. At that time, the master was kind, Redeemed her from the brothel, welcomed her in, and served her with delicious food and drinks. The brothel girl is also very kind, never embarrassing us servants, and often takes care of us, giving us rewards every now and then, saying let the girl We will have a dowry in the future, so that we can find wives in the future... I have worked in the master's mansion for twenty or thirty years, and in these years, the master has welcomed dozens of women at least. Those other than her, regardless of their origin, seem to be superior to others when they come in. Those who shout at us are also arrogant outside, for fear that others will not know that they have entered the door of the master's house... She is the only exception. Alas. , but who would have thought that it would be her end today... "
