Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 29 Making a fool of oneself

She looked at the servant in front of her, with bruises on his face, and blurted out her doubts. She then learned that it was Jiang Yueqing who did it, because some unclean people came in and out, and almost killed him. In order to investigate thoroughly, Jiang Yueqing tortured each of them.

Ling Ruoli suddenly felt that she might have made a mistake. Was this Second Aunt really speaking up for her mother, or was she just venting her anger in this way?

"Butler, go to the accounting office tomorrow and transfer some silver to my name as my apology on behalf of the Second Aunt. All servants who were beaten will have their monthly salary increased by two taels."

"Thank you, Miss." The servants nearby suddenly had tears in their eyes.

The housekeeper was very steady, "The eldest lady is considerate of us, but the second lady punished several people severely, and I'm afraid that some of them have developed chronic illnesses and are now bedridden."

"So serious?" Ling Ruoli said.

"Yes, the assassin went to Qiaozhuang and disguised himself as a servant. Now the boy has been beaten with thirty boards. Mother Cui, who recommended the boy to work, is now in a coma."

"And my lady, your maid Xiaohuan was called in for questioning. When she came out, she had a wound on her face."

Ling Ruoli was getting more and more absurd the more he listened, but now he was a little tired. "Okay, I'll have someone get some medicine from the pharmacy tomorrow. I'll discuss with my father how to deal with this matter. You guys go and have a rest!"

"Yes"

On the way back, the two maids following behind couldn't help but say, "Miss, what they said is true. Xiaohuan didn't let us tell you."

"This second lady is just trying to embarrass you."

"You two speak ill of the Second Aunt like that, aren't you afraid that she will arrest you again?" The two maids were terrified and quickly knelt down to admit their mistakes.

Seeing that the two were frightened, Ling Ruoli changed the topic and asked, "How is Xiaohuan now?"

"I stay in my house all day, wrapping myself up to avoid seeing people"

"Because of her disfigurement, she can no longer work in the mansion. After some time, Xiaohuan will be taken away by her family."

"Is that so?" Ling Ruoli had seen enough of the Second Aunt today. If she didn't have any tricks, she would be easily released after committing a serious mistake. It would not be because her father was reluctant to let her go.

The more she thought about it, the more troubled she became. Ling Ruoli asked them to inform Xiaohuan to come see her the next day. She simply washed up and went to bed.

Ling Ruoli woke up at noon the next day. She had nightmares and was mumbling, and someone comforted her. When she woke up, she found a woman with her face covered guarding her.

"Xiao Huan," she tried to call out.

"Miss" She lowered her head very low.

Ling Ruoli rubbed her eyes. Last night was full of nightmares. She felt very uneasy and didn't know how her mother was doing.

"What time is it?"

"It's noon."

She stood up and moved around, Xiao Huan stood by to serve her. Ling Ruoli had just finished washing her face, and when she looked up she heard the sound of bones cracking, "Ah!"

Xiao Huan helped her sit down and said, "Miss

"It hurts"

“Is this it?”

"Yeah" Ling Ruoli's tears came out.

Ling Ruoxi only found out about this incident in the mansion yesterday. She was very worried about her elder sister. She came three times today and got the same answer each time, so she had to go visit the mistress.

Now that Lin Yuehua had come to see her daughter, it was only on her fourth visit that she heard someone getting up. But then she saw Xiaohuan running out in a hurry, and the two met.

"What's wrong, Xiaohuan?"

"Miss, you sprained your neck." She was going to find a doctor, and Xiaohuan pressed down the veil on her face.

Ling Ruoxi told her that there was no need to go. When she entered the room, she saw someone covering his neck. Ling Ruoxi said that she knew some medical books and was about to take action. Ling Ruoli was so scared that she thought she was going to murder her. She jumped up and sat up, refusing to let Ling Ruoxi touch her.

Xiao Huan persuaded, "Miss, don't be afraid."

"You two step back." Ling Ruoli hid in the corner, covering the injured part.

The two had to step back. Ling Ruoli was about to interrogate her, but she never expected that Ling Ruoxi would flash in front of her in an instant when she wasn't paying attention and then check on her.

"The meridians are blocked, blood stagnation and qi stagnation"

Ling Ruoli clearly felt a force running down her neck. She no longer felt any pain. Ling Ruoxi massaged the affected area for her. "Xiao Huan, go get some cold water."

"cold water?"

"cold water?"

"Big sister, you forgot. You should know better than me," Ling Ruoxi said, "of course, cold compress to reduce swelling."

Ling Ruoli felt a little ashamed about this. She decided not to say anything, otherwise she would appear ignorant.

Xiaohuan was very efficient and brought cold water, but Ling Ruoli still resisted, “It’s so cold!” But she was being held down and couldn’t get rid of it.

"Three times a day, get enough rest, and avoid being impatient and angry"

"What are you doing here?" Ling Ruoli asked.

"It's mother who wants to see you, but seeing how you look, I think you need to recuperate. You can take a rest first, Ruoxi will go and reply."

After the others left, Ling Ruoli touched her neck and pressed it twice, and couldn't help mumbling, "It feels quite comfortable."

"Miss, are you feeling better?" Xiaohuan asked with concern.

Ling Ruoli touched her face distressedly and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore," Xiaohuan smiled and shook her head.

"No one will let you go without my permission"

"But I'm going to scare people now."

Ling Ruoli put her hands on Xiaohuan's shoulders and pretended to be aggrieved: "I don't know about others, but if I leave you, I will cry to death"

When Xiaohuan heard the lady say this, she was amused.

"Stop making fun of me, miss."
