Chapter 950 To Scare You Out of Your Wits
With her mouth covered, the crying girl was dragged away so violently that the audience trembled with fear.
Although they could not see what would happen next, they understood that a servant’s life was the cheapest thing in big families.
These madams were frightened by what they saw. Especially, the plump madam dressed like a rooster looked pale.
She could not help swallowing her saliva, and for some unknown reason, she walked forward with heavy steps.
Rumor had it that Princess Rong’an was moody, but now it seemed that it was not a rumor.
“Your Highness, I’ll report your visit to the princess right away.”
As soon as Baizhi ordered a “punishment” on the maidservant, she immediately showed a different look and smiled at Su Linlang.
Su Linlang was very smart. She made up her mind when she saw the reactions of the madams and ladies.
Immediately, she showed a gentle and kind smile and pretended to say casually, “No hurry. By the way, what did the maidservant do wrong just now? After all, she is a maid of the prince’s mansion. I’m afraid that it’s hard to explain to the prince if the princess punishes her like this.”
Baizhi tried to hold back her laughter as she praised Princess Linlang for being quick-witted in her heart.
It was no wonder that her master had told her that in the whole mansion, Princess Linlang was the only one who could know her plan without being informed in advance.
Now it seemed that Lin Mengya’s words turned out to be foresighted.
Immediately, she showed a different look and said with disdain, “I’m so angry that I forgot that Master is sitting in the reception hall. Some people from the palace just came to bring a few sets of auspicious wedding dresses here for Master to try on. Master sent me to deal with this matter. However, the clumsy maid spoiled one of the wreaths of gems. It’s a wedding dress. Killing her isn’t enough to make amends.”
Baizhi sounded fierce and malicious. In the past half month, Lin Mengya’s personal guidance had played a big role.
Of course, the example was Nanny Rong in TV series.
To be honest, Baizhi was quite talented in acting.
If she stopped showing her usually adorable mannerisms, she was rather terrifying.
As soon as Su Linlang heard that, she knew that Lin Mengya was playing tricks on the madams.
Immediately, a worried look appeared on her face as she asked nervously, “Is the wedding dress okay? Do you need someone to repair it? It’s a big deal. If the prince knows about it, he will be furious.”
Su Linlang and Baizhi echoed each other, which made those people with evil intentions feel chilly in their hearts.
They knew about the wreaths of gems attached to the wedding dress. In fact, there were dozens of them. It was not a big deal even if one or two were spoiled.
Therefore, it would be bizarre if Princess Rong’an was going to kill the maid for the sake of a wreath of gems.
The madams and ladies looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect that this was just a trap set by the women of Prince Yu’s Mansion.
On this matter, Lin Mengya’s view was always outrageously simple.
They could target her husband.
But they should first try hard to survive.
“It’s not a big deal. She just spoiled some tassels of the wreaths. The chief steward said that there are still spare wreaths, and he would never let the wedding dresses be imperfect. Oh, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to greet these madams and ladies. May I ask if you’re here especially to see our princess?”
At this moment, Baizhi’s smile was as terrifying as the smile of the devil.
These madams and ladies shook their heads in unison, for fear that they would be eaten alive by Lin Mengya’s maid if they reacted slowly.
The maid was already so terrifying, and Princess Rong’an must be more difficult to deal with.
At this moment, their desire to retreat which had long appeared was getting greater and greater rapidly.
The source of their high position and great wealth? This place was clearly the source of their dangers!
“Huh? That’s strange. Didn’t you all say that you admired Princess Rong’an’s charming appearance and personality and ask me to introduce her to you? I suppose you’re afraid of seeing strangers. It doesn’t matter. Princess Rong’an is benevolent and generous. All the servants in Prince Yu’s Mansion have praised her. Don’t be a stranger. We’re a family in the future. It’s good to keep in constant touch with each other.”
Su Linlang added fuel to the fire without feeling guilty at all. Actually, she did not like these people either.
In recent days, Sheng Nankun, who had been “resurrected from the dead”, was also pestered by several aristocratic families who wanted to play up to the new emperor because he had a good relationship with Long Tianyu.
However, she could not pull a long face and chase away the people who harbored malicious intentions.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Mengya’s various tricks.
Reputation did not matter if anyone dared to target her husband. She would be unkind to them.
It was said that Seventh Prince’s mansion was quiet, because half a month ago, several beautiful songstresses in the mansion had been beaten up and thrown out on the street by his wife.
Sometimes, a woman had to be relentless to herself.
Well, it was said that Lin Mengya had given many good things to Seventh Prince’s new wife.
It was no wonder that Seventh Prince had been limping recently. It must be because those things were too useful.
That was a nice trick.
While Su Linlang was thinking about it, Sheng Nankun, who was checking the inventory of the Ministry of War in the distant office, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he did not expect that his fiancee living in Prince Yu’s Mansion temporarily would be completely led astray by Lin Mengya.
At the same time, the madams and ladies in the mansion felt their hearts beating so fast now.
They followed behind Su Linlang and Baizhi shakily, looking like a tour group of old people nearing the end of their lives.
The tour to hell was so exciting and thrilling.
The group of people came to the reception hall of Prince Yu’s Mansion. Before they entered the door, they had heard extremely soft and mellow laughter coming from inside.
There were also several others laughing gently. The laughter sounded particularly pleasant. But, the topic seemed a little…
“In my opinion, roasting is better. We can put them on the charcoal fire after covering them in mud, so that they will not run away. After turning them over a few times, they will be done. At that time, won’t you feel more satisfied, Master?”
Everyone could not help but tremble. Was it the roasting punishment?
Merely listening to it caused their hair to stand on end, and it was extremely horrifying.
“It’s boring to roast them over the fire, and your hands are even dirty. I think boiling them in water is better. It won’t take long for them to be done after we peel them and put them in the pot.”
The crowd trembled again. Some of them were on the verge of fainting.
To roast them over the fire? To boil them in the water?
They would rather go to prison or get beheaded in the execution ground than fall into these she-devils’ hands!
“To roast them or boil them? Let’s have a try someday. Well, they are already here, aren’t they? We can try now.”
“Ow!” The madam dressed like a rooster finally turned pale, rolled her eyes, and collapsed on the ground.
The other madams and ladies were also at a loss immediately, and some even cried, which confused Su Linlang and Baizhi.
They were just listening to the experience of Lin Mengya’s servants roasting sweet potatoes. Why did they all cry as if they had lost their parents?
They looked at each other with some doubt in their eyes.
But the madam had passed out in the mansion. It would be rude not to take care of her.
Su Linlang immediately ordered someone to send the fainted madam to the guest room.
She was about to ask the others to enter, when she realized that these people were staring at the door of the reception room in horror, as if they had seen a ghost.
“Madams and ladies, are you not going to enter?”
Su Linlang felt that she was in a dilemma. She guessed that Lin Mengya must want to warn them, so she asked Baizhi to put on such a show.
But if these people did not enter, their efforts would be unavailing.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a few more madams and ladies fainted. The rest of them, who were still standing with difficulty, also looked mournful.
It was as if what was in front of them was the most dangerous place in hell instead of the reception hall.
“I suddenly remembered that we still have a pot of soup cooking at home, so I won’t disturb you and Princess Rong’an. Goodbye. Goodbye.”
Some smart ones immediately made an excuse and left.
As soon as they finished speaking, they ran away.
The others also followed suit, coming up with reasons she could not refuse. Immediately, they were all gone.
Su Linlang and Baizhi felt a little embarrassed when they saw that none of these people remained in the doorway to the reception room.
“Was it the show that scared them away?”
Alas, it would not be easy to find such a good opportunity in the future.
All their efforts were in vain.
Su Linlang and Baizhi pushed the door of the reception room open and saw Lin Mengya’s look of hopefulness.
Baiji, Baishao and Baisu, who had just talked excitedly about roasting sweet potatoes, immediately regained their indifferent expressions and looked as if someone refused to pay off a few hundred taels of silver owed to their master.
However, after waiting for a long time, they only saw Su Linlang and Baizhi. There was no one else around.
They could not help but frown. They had thought that they could finally play a role after their training.
But it was all in vain now!
“It’s all our fault. Just now, we probably scared them out of their wits before the main room of the Liuxin Courtyard. So when we arrived at the door of the reception hall, none of these madams and ladies were willing to come in,” Baizhi said apologetically.
In fact, she also knew that the four people were waiting impatiently in the room.
She did not expect herself to screw it up.
“Scared them out of their wits? Didn’t you just need to scare that girl? Oh, I see. Did that girl add more scenes to her role? I knew it. She went to the kitchen yesterday and got a lot of chicken blood! It was so frightening when she was covered with blood, wasn’t it?”
Baishao’s eyes widened as if she had expected that.
That girl was too cunning. Since she knew that someone was targeting the prince, she had been considering teaching those women a lesson.
