Chapter 561: Watching a Show Without Worrying about the Stage
"When I was a lawless bastard, you were probably not even born yet! Now you want to use this trick to control me? Pah—"
At the same time, he shouted outside: "Servants outside, get in here for me——"
The main door leading to the outside was suddenly pushed open, and seven or eight attendants and servants rushed in.
He looked at the girl head on.
The girl finally reacted and screamed, not knowing whether to cover her face or her chest with her hands.
The Third Master sneered, "Aren't you risking it? Since you're not afraid of people watching, then let them watch to their heart's content!"
After saying this, regardless of the expressions of everyone present, he ordered directly: "What are you still standing there for? Help me down quickly——"
The servants immediately started to move, some went to get the ladders, while others stood below with their hands outstretched to protect the third master.
He didn't take the girl seriously at all.
That girl is really stupid. Wasn’t this the plot and development she expected?
She was young and didn't have any quick wits. She was stunned for a long time, then squatted down with her hands covering her face and started to cry.
Nanny Ye sighed and motioned for the people around her to bring a piece of clothing and put it on the girl first.
Then they watched as someone brought a ladder and placed it at the feet of the Third Master. Everyone watched anxiously as the Third Master climbed down the ladder safely and smoothly before they breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanny Ye then spoke: "Old Master, since you are fine, I will take the person away. Is there anything else you want to say?"
The Third Master snorted coldly, straightening his clothes as he said, "If this woman is trying to use this trick to get close to me, Old Master, then ask her elders if eight or nine men, including me, have seen her today. Do you think she can marry me?"
With just these words, the girl turned pale, staggered, and almost fainted.
Nanny Ye secretly spat in her heart. He was indeed a famous old playboy in the capital, and he spoke without any taboos.
Looking at that girl again, I don't feel any sympathy for her at all. She actually had such thoughts at her wife's banquet, and she ended up like this. She deserved it!
He naturally agreed respectfully and turned around to take his people away.
The girl had already become weak all over and could not even walk.
He had no choice but to ask two maids to half support and half drag the person to the main courtyard.
Lu Zhenzhen had received the news a long time ago. After all, such a big commotion could not be concealed from anyone.
The scene was originally full of laughter and conversation, but after hearing the report from the leader, it immediately fell silent.
The unsuspecting women all looked at him in disbelief. Who was so tactless as to do such a thing? Did they think their life was too long?
The female relatives who knew about the situation immediately showed an uneasy look and secretly looked at Lu Zhenzhen's face above.
The women involved were even more terrified. Their faces turned pale, and they were filled with anxiety. Was this a success? Or was it not?
Fortunately, they found out soon.
Not long after, Nanny Ye arrived with her people.
In addition to that girl, there were also the women who had just been outside the study, playing the piano, reciting poetry, or diving. None of them escaped.
They were all covered in dust and dirt, seemingly being supported by a maid, but in fact they were being controlled as they walked in.
The girl from the Wu family who fell into the water had been taken away and changed into fresh and clean clothes, and was also sent over wrapped in a cloak.
After the maids escorted the person there, they retreated outside the door very consciously.
Only Nanny Ye took two steps forward and wanted to report to Lu Zhenzhen in a low voice.
Lu Zhenzhen waved her hand. This matter has caused such a big stir that everyone knows about it. If you tell me secretly, isn’t it a waste of time?
Besides, she wasn't the one who was embarrassed. Why was she trying to cover it up?
People who do these things are not afraid of being embarrassed, so she is even less afraid!
Not only was she not afraid, she also watched the excitement with great interest, wanting to see who was so courageous as to do such a thing at her first banquet.
Nanny Ye now understood Lu Zhenzhen quite well. She looked at the way she watched a show, not afraid of the stage being too high, but afraid that it wouldn't be lively enough.
What else can I do? My wife is mine, so I can only obey her.
Not only was his face expressionless, but even his report was devoid of emotion. He told everyone everything that had just happened in the West Garden and the study in a very straightforward and clear manner without hiding anything.
Several female relatives who were drinking tea felt embarrassed and could not help but spit out their tea after hearing the Third Master's behavior and words.
There was a burst of coughing in the hall.
Even Lu Zhenzhen couldn't help but choke on her saliva.
How should I put it? It's really hard to comment on the Third Master's set.
Others were even more dumbfounded. Wasn't it true that the nobles in the capital city were doing things in such a way? It was simply unheard of.
The girls who screamed together turned pale and looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief and fear.
At first, they envied the girl from the Wu family who ran in. She was the smartest and was afraid that she would get the upper hand.
Now everyone is so lucky. How can this be a coincidence? This is clearly a dangerous situation.
A female member of the family sitting near the door was rubbing the handkerchief in her hand, her face full of anxiety that could not be concealed.
He kept looking at the girl who was currently being supported by two old women.
Nanny Ye had already known about this girl along the way. She was brought here by the female relatives of the Guo family, a merchant family in Nanwu Prefecture, and her surname was also Guo.
The girl from the Guo family came to her senses at this moment and looked over in panic, asking for help.
The two exchanged glances, and no one knew what they exchanged. The girl from the Guo family gritted her teeth and dropped to her knees. "Madam Lu, please give me a chance to live! I've already lost my reputation. If, if I can't marry this old man, I'll either have to cut off my hair and become a nun, or I'll have to commit suicide with a white silk scarf!"
"I know my status is low, and I only hope to be taken in by the old master. I am willing to be a slave!"
The woman from the Guo family's merchant family also gritted her teeth and stood up, kneeling beside the Guo girl and pleading, "Madam, this girl is my husband's eldest niece. Although she may not be as rich as the daughters of wealthy families, she was raised by our family, has a clean background, and looks decent."
"She is also honest. Now that something like this has happened, it is all our daughter's fault. I only ask Madam to be kind and let my daughter enter the mansion to serve the old master and the old lady. The old master and the old lady can use her as a foot-washing maid or as a cat or dog to entertain them. I only ask for a way out for her—"
The way he said this sounded as if if Lu Zhenzhen didn't agree, she would be forcing the Guo family girl to die.
If this isn’t moral kidnapping, what is?
If this trick were used on someone else, in front of so many people, it would be a life at stake. For the sake of his own reputation, he would probably have to accept it with a wry smile.
I think this is what the Guo family is planning.
But who is Lu Zhenzhen?
She has no morals at all!
