Chapter 44 - Punishment (2)
It wasn’t until everyone left that the maids who were still in the yard breathed a sigh of relief, and then started cleaning the yard under Qing Yue’s command.
When You Mingtang was beaten by Zang Ya just now, a lot of blood fell on the ground, and there was still a strong smell of blood.
An Yun looked at the busy people, then looked at Qing Yue who was in charge, and quickly walked over and asked with concern, “Qing Yue, are you okay?”
Except for some redness and swelling on Qing Yue’s cheeks, no trace of the beating could be seen at all. At this time, Qing Yue returned to her original gentle and calm appearance.
Hearing An Yun’s concern, Qing Yue turned to look in the direction of An Yun and smiled gently at him, “Don’t worry, fulang. It doesn’t hurt. I’ll be fine later.”
An Yun still didn’t believe it. Qing Yue looked soft and weak, and her body was comparable to his. How could she be fine after she had just received such a big slap?
Qing Yue saw that the concern in his eyes was genuine and that he looked really worried about her. The smile on her face became two points bigger, and at the same time more genuine.
“Fulang, what I said is true. Don’t worry. I still have the medicine that the young master gave me before. I will go back and apply it later, and it will be fine.”
After hearing this, An Yun felt a little relieved, but he quickly thought of something, looked at the direction Zang Ya left, and asked, “Does Zang Ya have a bad relationship with his mother?”
If it was a good thing, there shouldn’t be a relative insulting out of blue, then let Zang Ya take action directly, then an old maid came to stop him, and finally a bunch of guards came over.
The most important thing was that although Zang Ya didn’t have many emotions on weekdays, he would still occasionally listen to a few words when facing his father, but this time when he talked about his mother, his tone was even more… so indifferent, not even a hint of emotion.
Qing Yue didn’t seem surprised when she heard An Yun’s inquiry. She didn’t hide it, but she said it a little euphemistically, “The young master and the madam are not very close.”
An Yun felt that it was not a matter of not being close, there might be something else, otherwise it wouldn’t be so strange.
However, Qing Yue was a maid with a tight mouth. After answering An Yun’s doubts, she left quickly on the grounds that she had other things to deal with.
Facing Qing Yue, An Yun couldn’t force her to stay. Even if he was curious, he could only watch Qing Yue leave.
After watching Qing Yue leave, An Yun looked around the yard again. Everyone was working harder than before, fearing that there would be any mistakes. They were obviously frightened by Zang Ya’s behaviour just now, so he chose to go back to the house.
When he returned to the house, An Yun thought about Zang Ya’s actions, estimated his relationship with his mother, and considered whether he would wait for Zang Ya when he came back later and ask about him and his mother. Would Zang Ya be angry?
An Yun thought that Zang Ya might not be angry with him, but he wouldn’t tell him the specific situation.
Just when An Yun was debating whether to ask later, from the corner of his eye, An Yun saw Xiao Cui, who was packing next to him and came to serve him.
When An Yun asked Xiao Cui’s help, he promised to bring Xiao Cui to his side. Later, after the young master became closer to him than before, he found an opportunity to tell Zang Ya about this.
There were many maids like this in the mansion, and Zang Ya didn’t care. Therefore, after An Yun said it, Zang Ya agreed.
When Xiao Cui arrived at An Yun’s place, she didn’t have much to do. She only had to learn how to serve people from the other maid, and the extra thing was to continue boiling medicine for An Yun. There wasn’t much to do.
When An Yun saw her coming, he thought of her frightened look, picked up the teapot, poured her two glasses of water, and told her, “Were you frightened just now? Drink some water to calm down.”
When Xiao Cui saw An Yun pouring water for her, a look of gratitude immediately appeared on her face. After thanking him repeatedly, she drank from the water glass.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Xiao Cui’s mood really calmed down. Looking at An Yun who seemed to be a little worried sitting there, she asked strangely, “Fulang, what’s wrong? What are you worried about?”
An Yun did not hide it from her, and said directly, “From the perspective of the young master’s attitude towards his mother, I think there may be some problems between them. However, I have no way to know the reason and I can’t help but feel a little worried.”
An Yun felt that Zang Ya now kept him as a pet. Except for occasionally touching and moving, eating and drinking, and even talked a lot more than ordinary people. The only person he should rely on was Zang Ya.
Zang Ya’s attitude toward his family members might also be the attitude he should have toward those people. Otherwise, if there was a conflict one day and he did the wrong thing and was on the wrong team, Zang Ya might not be able to protect him anymore.
After all, Zang Ya didn’t seem to be someone who could condone his little pet’s rebellion, or even might help others deal with him.
An Yun accepted Zang Ya treating him like a pet. After all, it didn’t matter. In this era, his life was in danger anytime and anywhere, so he had to rely on Zang Ya to continue living here.
Besides, although Zang Ya treated him as a pet, he raised him as a delicate one. The life he was living now was probably something he couldn’t achieve even if he worked hard in his previous life, so what else could he be dissatisfied with?
An Yun was easy to be satisfied. After all, he only lived to be eighteen years old in his last life. His biggest wish in those years was to live well, have a stable job when he grows up, and then build a small house of his own in his lifetime.
Listening to the reason for An Yun’s worry, Xiao Cui licked her moist lips, thought for a moment, and then hesitantly said to An Yun, “If the fulang wants to know, then let the maid go out for the afternoon, maybe I will be able to gather some information by the evening.”
After listening to Xiao Cui’s words, An Yun turned to look at Xiao Cui, with some doubts in his eyes. He didn’t expect that Xiao Cui thought of something, but what could she do?
When An Yun first came to this world, he knew very little news in this mansion. Xiao Cui told him a lot of it, but the news he heard from her seemed not to be very credible after being verified by him for so long.
For example, Zang Ya was the little bully in the house and everyone in the house doted on him. He was now sceptical about it.
When Xiao Cui met An Yun’s eyes, she understood what he was doubting and said directly, “Don’t worry, fulang, I will ask the old people in the house this time. In the past, I was in the kitchen and couldn’t contact them. Now that I’m with the fulang, my identity has changed, so I might be able to get a good information.”
An Yun couldn’t help but feel relieved when he heard it. Then, he thought of something again and asked Xiao Cui to wait for him for a while, then he went to the inner room.
When he came back, he took a few taels of silver and handed them to Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui looked at the silver and was a little surprised.
An Yun looked at her and said, “Take it! If you give them some benefits, it will make it easier to ask questions, and you can save your efforts.”
When Xiao Cui heard this, her heart condensed, she nodded, and then went out.
An Yun stared at the direction Xiao Cui left, and then thought about Zang Ya who had just left, and felt a little worried for some reason. He always felt that judging from the situation just now, Mrs. You didn’t seem to be so friendly to her own son.
