Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5501 Handyman
They were driven back by their mother.

……

The room is bright.

Very quiet too.

……

The fifth lady sat beside her daughter in a daze.

She held the girl's cold hand.

Tears were falling.

……

Whether it was the master's, the old lady's, or other ladies' voices, they all seemed to be heard through a veil in the Fifth Lady's ears.

She could not hear clearly.

I don't want to hear it clearly.

She only had eyes for her daughter.

Her confused mind was filled with only her daughter.

……

The Fifth Lady didn't know when the master, the old lady and others would arrive.

I don't know when they left.

……

A ray of sunlight falling on her eyebrows woke her up.

She subconsciously narrowed her eyes and turned her head.

And then found out...

what.

Its daybreak.

……

All the funeral arrangements for the Sixth Miss were arranged while the Fifth Lady was in dismay.

……

Madam Five nodded blankly.

……

"My condolences, sister."

The Sixth Lady, who had a better relationship with the Fifth Lady, took the Fifth Lady's arm.

"The Sixth Miss has left."

"Let her go on her way."

……

The fifth lady's lips began to tremble violently.

Even the body began to tremble violently.

Tears flowed from her red and swollen eyes again.

……

"do not Cry."

The old lady spoke.

"Let the child rest in peace quickly."

"It will also help the child to be reborn sooner."

"To a good family..."

……

The Fifth Lady paused.

Then she slowly reached out her hand.

……

The sixth girl's pale face was covered with a cloth.

……

The Fifth Lady collapsed and turned around, covering her face and crying.

……

The Sixth Lady is hugging the Fifth Lady.

He reached out and patted Madam Wu's back to comfort her.

……

The sixth girl's funeral was arranged in an orderly manner.

……

The sixth girl was buried.

……

A few days later, insiders came forward with some details of that day.

It turned out that a servant who had gotten up at night saw the Sixth Girl vaguely.

"...The Sixth Miss is running happily..."

"I thought I was seeing things..."

After all, how could such a noble lady run around in the yard in the middle of the night without sleeping?
Isn't this crazy?
Still looking happy?

He was very sleepy and drowsy at that time.

My mind is confused.

The figure suspected to be Miss Six soon disappeared.

He didn't care.

I just thought my hallucination disappeared.

After going to the toilet, he went back to his room to sleep.

It was not until I woke up the next day that I heard the news that Miss Six had an accident.

He was shocked.

But he didn't actually think about it at the time.

He had forgotten what he saw when he got up at night...

It's the back work...

Suddenly I remembered it again.

……

This is a bit strange.

He couldn't help but tell others.

But he also reminded the other servants not to tell anyone what he said.

He was a little worried that he would get himself into trouble.

This was something he realized after he finished speaking.

But it's too late.

He said it all.

I can only remind the people he told to keep the secret again and again.

At that time, those guys clearly promised him...

……

The servant kneeling on the ground gritted his teeth silently. Those bastards!
……

The room was quiet.

The servant was so nervous that he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his eyes.

He was surprised...

Was it really Miss Six that he saw at that time?
He had heard from others that Miss Six had a problem with her brain...

Is it true?

……

The servant's body lowered further and further.

My eyes stung a little from the sweat.

He blinked hard.

His body trembled.

……

"no yet?"

The old lady spoke.

"Is this all you see?"

……

The servant shuddered all over.

"Yes!"

The servant said loudly.

"That night I was half asleep..."

"The villain thought what he saw was an illusion."

"I was too sleepy at the time."

“I didn’t go forward to check…”

The servant's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

How could he know that it was really the Sixth Miss...

The Sixth Miss also fell into the water and died...

The old lady wouldn't blame him for not saving the Sixth Miss, right?

He really didn't know this would happen...

If he knew, he would definitely walk up to Miss Six and follow her until she agreed to go back to her room...

But he didn’t know…

He is so sleepy.

The brain is very slow.

He also remembered that he should not get close to the lady and should keep a distance from her without her asking.

Otherwise, if you are caught intentionally approaching the lady...

Is he still alive?
……

If nothing happened to Miss Six...

The errand boy felt that he had done a good job.

Even in his sleepy state, he remembered to follow the rules.

But something happened to Miss Six...

As the last witness of the Sixth Miss's death...

The errand boy wasn't sure whether the old lady would blame him...

If he was asked to pay for Sixth Miss's life...

The servant's body shook violently.

What should he do?
……

The servant was so frightened that he was shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind.

……

"...Go down."

……

Hey?
The servant looked up.

Before the servant could show his surprise, the old lady continued, "Give him twenty strokes of the cane."

To some extent, this servant could be said to have watched the Sixth Young Lady die without helping her...

Since it wasn't intentional, I'll teach you a lesson.

It can also be regarded as an explanation to the Fifth Madam.

……

The servant was dragged away.

"Thank you, Madam!"

The servant yelled.

Twenty big boards...

It's just some physical pain.

It won't kill him.

As long as his life was saved, he would be grateful.

.......
The two maids at the Sixth Miss's door were also dragged away and each given twenty lashes of the board.

The punishment seems to be the same as that of menial labor, but in fact it is more severe than that of menial labor.

After all, how could the bodies of two young, delicate-skinned girls compare with the rough-skinned and thick-fleshed body of a male servant?

After these twenty blows...

I'm afraid it would cost the two maids half their lives.

……

The two maids did not dare to beg for mercy.

This was already a better punishment than they had imagined.

If they hadn't neglected their duties, hadn't dozed off in the middle of the night, and had been able to stop Miss Six when she went out -
This is their role as guarding the door.

Miss Six will never go out.

If Miss Six doesn't go out, she won't fall into the lake.

Miss Six didn't slip and fell into the lake...

You won't lose your life because of this.

The bottom line is...

They have an unshirkable responsibility.

They were all ready to pay for Miss Six's life...
I didn't expect the old lady's punishment to be so harsh...
Until this punishment came out, they were all feeling suffocated by the old lady's aura.

The air in the room made them feel suffocated.

Now they are being dragged down...

Even though they knew they would face twenty lashes of the board next, they still felt somewhat relieved.

……

"Thank you for your mercy, madam. Thank you for your mercy, madam..."

The shouts of the two maids became farther and farther away until they disappeared.
