Chapter 234 Scared to the point of peeing
Yingniang then heaved a long sigh of relief and turned back to her room. However, she would have to endure going hungry for lunch. She comforted herself in this way.
But she didn't know that she was a double-breasted person. Her own nutrition was not enough to supply the fetus, and the nutrients had to be absorbed by the fetus. After just a few days, she had visibly lost weight.
In the evening, Yingniang was having dinner, a plate of cabbage and tofu, a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes, and a bowl of white rice. It was a very simple meal with a very plain taste, but she ate it with relish. Perhaps she was very hungry, so even if it was boiled vegetables in plain water, she could still eat it.
Just when I was halfway through my meal, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the yard.
As soon as Chen Fengyao entered the room, he saw Yingniang holding chopsticks, standing in a daze in mid-air.
After his eyes swept across her face, he frowned almost imperceptibly. How come she had lost so much weight?
Then when his eyes turned to the two dishes on the table, he immediately became furious. These dishes were not even as good as the food for the servants!
He then remembered that he had not seen any servants in the courtyard along the way, so he roughly understood that she must have been neglected by the servants in her own courtyard.
These slaves are so brave!
Yingniang hadn't seen Chen Fengyao for more than a month, so she was naturally very frightened when she saw him suddenly appear.
After he reacted, he quickly put down the chopsticks that were suspended in the air, stood up tremblingly and saluted, "Greetings, General."
Chen Fengyao frowned even more. Her figure seemed to become even thinner, and with the look of fear on her face, she looked very frail.
He hadn't seen her for just a month, how come she had lost so much weight?
Thinking of General Zheng who was waiting in the front hall, his anger grew even stronger.
He even swore that Yingniang didn't need the bag of silver he brought for her while she was in his house, and he didn't owe her any money for food and drink.
But now look at what she eats and what she wears! The emerald green shirt she wears is already half worn out, and there is only a silver hairpin on her hair, and there are not even earrings on her white jade ears. She is really not even as well dressed as a maid!
If word got out about the shabby attire of his concubine in the general's mansion, wouldn't everyone laugh out loud?
He immediately shouted angrily towards the courtyard, "Mr. Wang! Go and see where all the servants in Youlian Courtyard have died. If they are not dead, bring them all here! And send someone to invite Aunt Xiao here!"
Wang Sheng was Chen Fengyao's personal servant. When he saw Chen Fengyao's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he cried out in his heart that something was wrong and hurriedly ran to do his job.
I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight.
General Zheng Shen was ordered to deliver food and fodder to the northwestern border and arrived today.
Chen Fengyao wanted to choose a restaurant to welcome him, but Zheng Shen said he wanted to be his guest at his house. He also took out a letter and a bag of silver, saying that someone asked him to hand them over to his new concubine Yingniang personally.
The reason why Zheng Shen said he would hand it over personally was because the Eighth Prince asked him to find out whether Chen Fengyao's concubine was living well.
Zheng Shen thought that asking about other people's concubines' living conditions was not what an upright man should do, and it would easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. It would be better to meet them openly. Besides, seeing with one's own eyes would always be more reliable than hearsay.
When Chen Fengyao heard Zheng Shen say that the money for writing the letter and the silver were given by Yingniang's younger brother, there was no reason for him to disagree, so he asked him to wait in the front hall for a while and he would go to bring Yingniang over.
Chen Fengyao wanted to bring this good news to Yingniang personally and see her overjoyed expression, so he did not ask the servants to call her, but came to Youlian Courtyard in person.
Who would have thought that she had lost so much weight! He looked at her and Youlian Courtyard inside and out, and the more he looked, the angrier he became.
It is outrageous that his people could be bullied and humiliated like this!
Yingniang stood aside, looking at the furious Chen Fengyao, trembling with fear in her heart. Why did he suddenly come here and what was he doing here?
She was a little scared and wanted to touch her relatively flat belly, but she was afraid of revealing any clues, so she held back.
Is he going to stay here overnight?
Oh my God, what should she do!
Yingniang looked pale and trembling slightly, which made her look extremely pitiful and made people feel pity for her.
Chen Fengyao couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If he hadn't come to see her for a month, the servants wouldn't dare to treat her like this.
Damn these servants who bully their masters!
"Don't be afraid. I will take care of it for you."
Chen Fengyao's sudden relaxed yet slightly stiff expression of comfort made Yingniang stunned.
It was only after a while that Yingniang understood what he meant.
Dingxiang and Li Pozi were drinking and playing cards in the room of Shaoyao, the maid of Aunt Xiao, when they were suddenly twisted by two strong servants who broke in and dragged out of the door without saying a word.
The two were frightened by the scene and trembled as they shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you arresting us?"
By the time the two men had their hands tied and were kneeling in front of Chen Fengyao, they were almost scared to the point of collapsing on the ground.
When Chen Fengyao heard Wang Sheng's report that the two were drinking and having fun somewhere else, he immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You two know how to enjoy yourself, not to mention serving the master, leaving the master alone here, and even feeding him such a meal!"
As he said this, he picked up the stir-fried shredded potatoes and cabbage and tofu on the table and threw them at the two people kneeling on the ground.
There were two porcelain plates, one fell on Dingxiang's head, her forehead was instantly broken and bleeding, and the other fell on Li Po's nose, and two streams of blood instantly flowed out of her nostrils. With the splashed vegetables and dripping soup on her body, she looked instantly miserable and embarrassed.
The two of them didn't care about the wounds on their faces and kept kowtowing to the ground, "It was Auntie who said that we wanted simple meals, and it was Auntie who didn't want us servants to disturb the peace. Please understand, General!"
The two men banged their heads against the hard ground with great force, making loud "bang bang" sounds. Soon, blood oozed from their foreheads, and their faces were covered with bloodstains, looking extremely horrible.
Chen Fengyao naturally didn't believe what the two said, and shouted angrily, "You bold and cunning slave, you still dare to quibble when the time comes! Come, drag these two slaves out and beat them to death!"
The roar was like thunder, deafening.
The two men instantly looked terrified as if they had lost their souls, and they kept shouting, "General, spare us! General, spare us!"
Chen Fengyao was a general who fought in battles and was used to seeing blood. He did not think there was anything wrong with beating to death two servants who had done something wrong.
As soon as Chen Fengyao gave the order, slaves came forward and, regardless of their struggles and cries, dragged the two of them to the yard for execution without mercy.
Mrs. Li collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, howling like crazy, and a pool of yellow liquid flowed from under her body as she was dragged away. She was actually frightened to the point of peeing her pants.
