Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 288 Gu Erbai Tests Xiao Xingzi
Qiang'er's last few Coptis chinensis inlaid in the socket of her cheeks, her mouth was numb due to bitterness, and she couldn't spit it out, but now because of this loud slap, all of them flew out.

She was almost stunned by the beating, and she couldn't believe that this private boss, who was usually as close to her as a mother, didn't intercede for her, but directly came up and slapped her.

Only then did she realize how big a mistake she had made.

Before the huge shock and fear swept through her brain, Tan Zhangshi slapped her hard on the left cheek again.

The strength of the slap did not decrease but increased, and even the speed increased.

The palms and palms repeatedly hit her left and right faces in circles, almost non-stop, her rose eyes stared like gold stars, her cheeks were red and swollen, and she didn't know what year and month it was.

Xiao Taozi covered her mouth, only showing her two eyeballs and wandering around in panic. Although Qiang'er and her old enemy, although they talk badly, have never done anything really bad. The main thing is to listen to her showing off Tan's affairs every day. His love, now it seems, is clearly a stance towards death.

Xiao Xingzi still stood there straight, watching that scene with eyes as indifferent as water.

She knew that Tan's job was just to save Qiang'er, as long as the madam mentioned this maid to the owner, no matter whether it was intentional or not, she would not be able to live. When everyone came to Gu's mansion, didn't they sell their bodies to sign life and death certificates? ?

Anyone who offends or betrays his master should be the most taboo, and he will be killed without hesitation.

Anyone who offends or betrays the master... kill them all.She muttered these words, lowered her head slightly, her right hand had already covered her lower abdomen, and the black ground under her feet looked like an abyss at first glance.

Beside the promenade, a group of maids were so frightened that they could not cry when they saw this scene, and shivered towards the corner of the wall. You squeezed me for fear of losing one, but it was too late to regret it.

They have all seen the kindness of Master Tan to his servants, but they are more familiar with his harsh temperament than charity.

About five or six years ago, there was an unforgiving maidservant in Yuchuntang. She heard that she had said something that offended the old lady in private. up.

No one has seen that little maid again.

From then on, when the Gu Mansion accepted maidservants, Tanzhang Shi posted an iron law: If you come to the Gu Mansion and disobey, you will have already stepped into hell with one foot.

This sentence was not a joke.

After that incident, the maids have been cautious in their words and deeds since then, and Mr. Tan has become more lenient towards the maids.

After several years of living in peace, there is no mistress in the mansion, but gradually the maids became pampered again.

Previously when Madam entered the mansion for the first time, the host did not announce that the number of beauties brought by these old Madams was more than a hundred, so everyone didn't care, but she was the first one who did not live in the Waterside Garden. There were criticisms, and Tan Zhangshi reprimanded the jealous maid.

But everyone is not convinced. How many times have you been here over the years with peerless beauties, princes and nobles, and ladies from famous families? Unwilling to recognize the master.

Unexpectedly, this time it was really serious.

Today, Qiang'er was the first shot to shoot the bird.

Tan palm affairs are always sand palm affairs.

No matter how much she loves a servant, she is also a servant, and the most loyal servant of the Gu family.

Qiang'er was beaten, and the immediate effect was obvious.

All the maids huddled together and cried, wondering if Sister Qiang'er would be slapped to death like this, and what kind of harsh punishment would be waiting for them?

In the midst of such cries accompanied by bursts of cruel applause, someone in the group of maidservants who was so courageous suddenly stretched out his hands and crawled on the ground, crawled straight towards Madam, raised his face covered with tears, "Ma'am, I beg you to spare Sister Qiang'er, she will never dare again, or you can give me half of her punishment, and I can't beat her anymore, if you keep beating her, she will die..."

Everyone looked in fear, only to see that it was Qiang'er's twin sister——Wei'er.

Gu Erbai was also stunned by Tan Xin's actions. He thought she came here in a hurry to intercede for the maids in her room, but he didn't think that she was here to use Iron Sand Palm.

With this posture, those who didn't know thought she and Qiang'er had a personal enmity.

The slaps in the ears continued, Qiang'er's face was swollen with blood along with her cheeks, and Wei'er at her feet was already bleeding out from knocking against the marble corridor.

Only then did Gu Erbai come to his senses, frowning slightly, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, seeing Qiang'er's miserable state at this time, with a hint of unbearable in his voice, "Enough is enough."

"Wei'er thanked Madam, Wei'er thanked Madam..."

On the ground, Wei'er dragged her legs and hugged Qiang'er who had already been beaten beyond recognition and lost her mind. Her heart ached, and she thanked her with tears on her face.

When Mr. Tan saw his wife coming to stop him, he couldn't help feeling sad, immediately withdrew his hand again and again, and instantly knelt down in front of Gu Erbai.

"Tan Xin taught his servants ineffectively, which led to boldly offending Madam, please punish Madam severely."

The palm of the sandalwood palm was firmly on the ground, and it was rare to have a gentle and virtuous temperament on weekdays. At this time, it was full of determination and solemnity, as if it had done something heinous.

But what surprised Gu Erbai even more was that she actually took out a bundle of whip ropes in her hand.

Is this to beat her with a whip?

"Madam, please punish me severely..."

Behind her, a group of maidservants who were as silent as cicadas also knelt on the ground, begging her for mercy.

Gu Erbai's eyelids twitched, and his hands were behind his waist. Why did he feel that she had become the last villain?

However, the severity of the punishment of the Gu family was as perverted as that of Uncle Qing himself.

"Cough... I'm sure you will be punished. I heard that there are quite a few maids here in your room. It's okay to have a broken mouth. Maybe it's not because I didn't teach them well, maybe I haven't taught them at all?"

"Tanxin's crime is extremely serious, please punish my wife."

Again.

But the strength of her prostration at this time is more profound, and her voice is more ruthless.

Even though his whole body was stuck to the ground, the whip in his hand was raised higher and higher.

It is extremely difficult to maintain such a posture, Gu Erbai thought about Tan Zhangshi... who has a lot of backbone.

"There is nothing to be punished. If the mouth is broken, it will be cured. I let them suck Coptis chinensis, just to let them know how bitter the mouth is, so that they can say that to the sisters who get along day and night."

After Gu Er finished speaking, Xiao Xingzi, who was far away by the door, froze suddenly. For some reason, her right fist clenched again.

Madame is really... because of herself?
The maidservants kneeling in the long corridor picked up the coptis spit out just now and picked it up into their mouths tremblingly, some of which were covered with muddy mud.

Gu Erbai frowned, and before he could stop it, Manager Tan took out a knife out of nowhere and startled her.

"Tan Xin's disciplining is not good enough. His crime is unforgivable. He offended his wife. Today, he must chop off his finger as a punishment."

After finishing speaking, she pulled out the scabbard, and the dagger revealed a gleaming white light, and without hesitation stretched out her ring finger and pressed it to the ground.

Seeing the situation, Gu Erbai was startled, and went up to grab the hilt of her knife, "Wait, wait... big big..."

Auntie, are you crazy?
Tan Xin raised her eyebrows, seeing her stop her, she looked at Gu Erbai with firm surprise, "Madam, do you want to do it yourself?"

"..."

How about cutting off fingers, how do you say it is like chopping pork?
Gu Erbai looked carefully at her face, there was no trace of pity or pain, relying on...

After confirming, this person has no enmity with Qiang'er, he is just a pervert, he is so cruel to himself.

Could it be that the people in Gu's mansion have been with Uncle Qing for a long time, so they have acquired perverted skills?

Why is the green eggplant so cowardly?

"That's all right, all these servants didn't offend me, even if they broke up in the same room, you don't have to make a fuss, let them go and apologize to Xiao Taozi and Xiao Xingzi, and that's all."

"But……"

Tan Xin frowned tightly, putting on a resolute face that could never forgive herself.

"..."

Gu Erbai looked at her expression of regret for not being able to cut off her finger, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, thinking that this is really a pervert, he snatched her knife, and pulled the scabbard from her left hand, Fasten it firmly, "I confiscated this controlled knife, and you are not allowed to harm yourself in the future."

When Gu Erbai happily pressed the knife back to his waist, Tan Xin's face suddenly became terrified, looking at her with burning eyes, as if seeing her benefactor, he knelt down on the ground, and the sound of knocking on the marble floor was sonorous, It made Gu Erbai take a step back in fright.

"My servant kowtowed to Madam for her benevolence and generosity. If she commits the crime again in the future, she must die as an apology!"

Sonorous rose, full of energy.

"……Oh."

Gu Erbai was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to support the pillar, and nodded at her with a smile on his face.

I was scared to death.

"Why are you lying here dead? Why don't you hurry up and ask Taoxing to forgive me!"

After finishing speaking, she turned her face fiercely to all the servant girls, and her tone returned to the usual stern and bullying way of reprimanding her servants.

All the maids got up one after another when they heard the sound, and ran over tremblingly one by one to apologize to Tao Xing and the two of them. Nodding his head to show forgiveness.

But Xiao Xingzi was lacking in sanity, staring straight at the white woman with a dagger in her hand on the long corridor, a little dazed.

For some reason, she actually saw a light from her body, gradually shining towards the top of her head.

But today, she wants to bury herself with her own hands, so as to firmly block this light.

"Why is this knife so familiar? Isn't it Uncle Qing's short knife?"

Gu Erbai was holding the dagger, looking back and forth with interest, he unexpectedly found that the lines and patterns on the scabbard were exactly the same as the dagger that Uncle Qing used to scare people all day long.

Tan Xin raised her face slightly, the solemnity just now gradually faded, but was replaced by the usual gentle and respectful, "Mrs. Hui, this knife was distributed by the owner of the farm. Every person in charge of the mansion has it , The owner of the venue is usually busy with business and has no time to deal with the servants, so he handed over a black iron dagger and made a judgment on his own if he made a mistake."

"... Cough, that's it."

After Gu Erbai heard this, he couldn't help trembling while pressing the dagger on his waist, Uncle Qing is too perverted.

And... how busy is he with business?
The eggs that are obviously free...the eggs are also free...the boring ones are not salty in taste.

Strange, she doesn't know if it tastes salty or not...

"lady?"

Tan Xin called her several times, seeing her inexplicable blushing, thought that her anger had not subsided.

"Ah?" When Gu Erbai came back to his senses, the horrifying voice of a certain great demon king from yesterday resounded in his mind, "Kneel down and suck..."

"If you are not satisfied, I will take these servants back with me..."

"No need, since they have said too modestly, let's let this matter go. Small punishments and big warnings. In the future, it will be fine if you don't make such mistakes. Don't punish them afterwards. The empress is still in the house. Do more when you have nothing to do. Order some food and send it over.”

Gu Erbai coughed a few times and talked nonsense.

"Here."

Looking at her magnanimity, Tan Xin nodded heartily.

Gu Erbai hummed lightly, touched his nose and walked down the corridor, looking up at the sky.

It was almost time, when she came back from a stroll in the street, Uncle Qing probably came back too, just in time.

Before the arched door.

The maids whispered, like Xiao Taozi and Xiao Xingzi, after Xiao Xingzi apologized, Butler Liu came out in hindsight.

In fact, he had already arrived at Yuchuntang.

I just thought that most of the people in Yuchun Hall were maids in Tanzhang's office, and he wanted to give the manager some face, and it was not easy to come out to deal with it, so he stayed outside and listened to the movement.

The main thing is to understand my wife... I can't see killing, so I will definitely make big things into small things and small things into small things.

"Come here, whip the second sister Qiangwei twenty times, pull them out of the house, and drive Jiacheng out. The rest of them will have their salaries reduced for five years."

As soon as Steward Liu entered the door, he waved his hands with a stern face.

A group of guards ran over from behind, and took down the second sister Qiangwei neatly.

In the corridor, the two sisters were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Gu Erbai raised his eyelids, and glanced at him lightly, "Forget it, the people in Tan Zhang's office, let her handle it on her own, I'm going out for a walk now..."

Gu Erbai approached him, lowered his voice slightly, "I will go back to the mansion before Uncle Qing comes back, don't tell him afterwards that I went out."

Butler Liu was taken aback when he heard the words, his face was full of shock, "But... the host specifically told Madam that you can't see the wind..."

Gu Erbai smiled at him, his smile was very menacing, dare you try it?
Butler Liu, "..."

Gu Erbai waved at him from his back, and took Xiao Taozi and Xiao Xingzi out of the mansion.

Only people who have measles can't see the wind.

"This……"

Steward Liu looked at the back of his wife leaving without any room for discussion, couldn't help crying and laughing, secretly winked at the guards, and the guards followed them silently.

……

Yixing Street.

On the top of the drunk building with gauze cage curtains, a girl in emerald green lightly opened the curtain, her sharp eyes shot at the exquisite carriage passing by on the ground.

"Reporting to the princess, the chariot and horses have set off on time, but...there seems to be someone following behind the chariot."

"Do it."

The woman's cold voice came, except for a bit of coquettishness, without a trace of emotion.

"But, it seems to be a guard, it is difficult for ordinary people..."

"You bastard! You spent so much money in the masked pavilion, even a few guards can't stop you!"

Accompanied by the sound of a crisp crystal cup breaking, the woman's cold voice cracked a little, bursting out into unconcealable mania.

"Princess forgive me, Que'er will send more people!"

Que'er was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed frequently.

"it is good."

She smiled tremblingly, and the broken cup in her hand stuck into her palm.

Gu Erbai, I will lose everything, I must destroy you today.

In the Sifang car sedan.

Xiao Taozi surrounded Gu Erbai, while praising her demeanor of being the mistress just now, she frequently squeezed her shoulders and back, and her joyful voice could be heard outside the restless carriage.

Gu Erbai casually nodded his head to deal with it, but his eyes kept scrutinizing Xingzi who was quietly sitting on one side without making a sound.

It was she who desperately made a big commotion and wanted to buy rouge, and now it was she who came here listlessly and calmly.

It's not surprising, that is, Xiao Taozi's relationship is messed up.

Gu Erbai looked down at the scars all over her body that she thought she was hiding...

"parking."

She suddenly raised her voice and waved her hand.

"Appreciate~"

Outside the car, the groom reined in the whip.

Xiao Taozi stopped nagging, and looked at her very strangely, "What's the matter, ma'am? This Zuirou workshop hasn't arrived yet."

Xiao Xingzi also raised her head slowly, looking at her with turbulent waves under her calm gaze.

"I don't know if it's because I slept for too long in the morning, but now I have a headache, a sore foot, and a pain all over my body. It's very uncomfortable." Gu Erbai pressed his head while raising the car curtain to look outside, "Hey, isn't this the first-class car curtain?" Have you fasted? I remember that there is a medical clinic next to it, go in and let the doctor have a look."

When Xiao Taozi heard this, her expression froze, and she quickly lifted the curtain to help her get off the sedan chair, "Okay, let's go quickly, Madam's health is important."

With her support, Gu Erbai got out of the carriage, turned around and saw Xiao Xingzi hiding in the sedan chair with a blurred expression, so he couldn't help shouting slightly, "Xingzi, come down too, there's nothing in the carriage, I'm afraid I'll faint later , Taozi can’t support her alone.”
