Chapter 1706: Chapter 1706: Troublesome Enough (2)

Chun Hua was dumbfounded. Chunchun went to find the old master Fang? Where had she gone that quarter-hour earlier? Hurriedly, she followed after.

The study, which should have been vacant, was brightly lit at this moment.

Chun Hua glanced at the situation in the study, then looked at Yang Ruxin, sighing inwardly. Chunchun thought she had acted utterly discreetly, but everything was under the control of the eldest miss.

Luckily, Sister Chun Gui was perceptive and didn’t remain confused.

In the outer room of the study, Fang Dehua and his wife sat with stern expressions, along with Fang Tianze and Yu Qingge, while Chunchun was kneeling on the floor.

“Godfather, Godmother.” Yang Ruxin walked in with a slight nod, “I’ve troubled you.”

“Indeed, quite troublesome.” Yuan Mengzhu chuckled, “This girl is bold, offering herself, first eyeing the son, and when he wasn’t interested, turning to the father. These tactics…”

“Eldest Miss…” Chunchun, seeing Yang Ruxin’s arrival, crawled forward a few steps on her knees, “Save me.”

“Sister, why do you keep such people around you?” Yu Qingge smirked, “Luckily, my brother Tianze wasn’t interested in her, otherwise I would have had to step aside… This girl is out of her mind…”

Chunchun’s face changed slightly, but she still looked at Yang Ruxin with hope, “Eldest Miss, I was wrong. I will never do it again…”

Yang Ruxin looked down at her, “What did you do wrong?”

“I shouldn’t have dreamed of escaping a servant’s fate, wanting to find a good family to marry into…”

Yang Ruxin smiled, “The families you chose are indeed not bad. Whether as a concubine to Brother Tianze or my godfather, both are quite respectable. If you bore a son or daughter in the future, your status would not be too low…”

Chunchun hung her head; this was indeed what she had thought.

“Actually, I can forgive you for having such thoughts.” Yang Ruxin sighed, “But what I cannot forgive is that you plotted with outsiders to harm my family.”

“I didn’t…”

“Where did this bracelet come from?” Yang Ruxin suddenly grabbed Chunchun’s wrist, revealing a silver bracelet with a plum blossom design, exactly what Mei Xiang had previously given to her.

“I…”

“Chunchun, you are so muddle-headed.” Chun Hua couldn’t help but sigh.

“It was you!” Chunchun suddenly turned to Chun Hua, “You must have reported me. You lowly… ah…” But before she could finish, a slap sent her rolling far away.

“Impudent!” Xuxu retracted her hand, “With the master and madam here, how can you act so boldly?”

Chunchun’s face swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

“Godmother, though she’s mine, I lack the experience to handle this. So, please, Godmother, deal with her.” Yang Ruxin said, handing over a Selling Covenant.

“No, Eldest Miss…” Chunchun wanted to refuse, but no one paid her any mind.

“Xinxin, you are too kind-hearted, too indulgent with the servants.” Yuan Mengzhu nodded, but didn’t forget to add, “Some servants are grateful, but some are ungrateful scoundrels.”

“Godmother’s lesson is correct.”

“Madam Jiang.” Yuan Mengzhu looked to a matron beside her, “You have always been responsible for training the servants in our mansion. In your opinion, how should such servants be dealt with?”

“Replying to madam.” Madam Jiang hurriedly bowed and replied, “Such servants are considered betrayers. The lighter punishment is ten strokes and being sold off; the heavier is execution by beating!”
