Chapter 245: Shameful and Ridiculous
Nanny Lu didn't want to listen anymore.
She moved forward step by step, pulling up her legs that felt like they were filled with lead.
The pharmacy is not far ahead, and you can see the sign from here.
But, she seemed to have a very hard time walking this section of the road.
Nanny Lu only felt her heart go cold, her hair felt dizzy, and her vision went dark.
Are you hungry? Maybe.
But what I feel more is panic and confusion!
My master... has such a bad reputation?
The Qinxing Marquis Mansion where I work...does it have such a bad reputation?
It is dishonorable for one's own master to take the throne.
He also knew that people outside looked down on his master.
But that was just talk and criticism in private.
How come it has come to the point where people can talk loudly and without restraint on the street?
After all, it is a marquis's mansion!
The title is not fake!
If the common people discuss the officials in private... they will also be punished!
But now looking at... Madam Lu could only think of one word, that is, the law cannot hold everyone responsible!
If one or two poor people dared to discuss the magnificent marquisate, it would be easy to arrest and punish them if they reported it to the authorities.
But now, it seems that everyone in this street and alley is talking about the Marquis Qinxing Mansion.
Their Marquis Qinxing's mansion was robbed and completely looted, but how come this has become such a great thing in the mouths of these people?
It seemed like it had relieved their hatred and anger!
Where can I go to seek justice for this?
However, Nanny Lu thought again and wondered what logic was behind this?
Hasn't his master done enough unreasonable and irrational things?
If they try to reason... that would be a joke!
Nanny Lu opened her eyes wide, let out a long breath, and walked towards the drugstore with all her strength.
When I walked to the door of the pharmacy and just stepped over the threshold, I heard the waiter inside greet me, "Hey, isn't this Madam Lu from the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion?
What do you need?"
The waiter's words "Madam Lu from the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion" were like a few drops of cold water dropped into a hot oil pan, which instantly made a crackling sound!
Inside and outside the pharmacy, everyone's eyes were looking over here.
For a moment, Madam Lu felt as if she had been stripped naked and left hanging on the street!
That kind of embarrassment...is simply...simply unbearable!
Madam Lu withdrew her foot. She didn't want to enter this pharmacy again.
She wanted to escape, to run away.
Nanny Lu hurriedly turned around and went down the stairs, but she missed a step and almost fell.
She didn't care how embarrassed she was at the moment. She moved her foot which seemed to be sprained, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and ran forward step by step.
However, I could hear the shop assistant calling from behind: "Madam Lu, why are you leaving?
Aren't you with the lady?
Are you going to buy some ointment to reduce the swelling on your wife's face?
Why don’t you buy it?”
The boy seemed to be shouting to everyone in the street.
For a moment, Nanny Lu felt like a rat crossing the street!
Although no one was calling for her to be beaten, the looks from everyone and the way everyone was pointing fingers at her made her feel so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die!
Nanny Lu limped forward.
After running for a while and turning two streets, she realized that she was running in the wrong direction! She was taking the wrong road!
She held onto the wall and sat down on a stone in the alley.
I thought to myself that the path I was taking...maybe it was indeed wrong!
She followed the wrong master!
He followed his master and did too many things that he shouldn't have done.
Madam Lu looked around, listening to the hustle and bustle on the street and looking at the quietness in the alley... At this moment, she couldn't think of where to go or what to do.
Going back to the Marquis’ Mansion?
Her master asked her to go out and buy ointment, but she returned empty-handed, and she would definitely be scolded.
She doesn’t go back…
If I don’t go back…where else should I go?
Her indenture was still in the mansion, and she couldn't go anywhere.
Nanny Lu was so frightened and shocked, and the pain in her ankle made her feel so sad that she sat there and cried quietly until she heard footsteps.
Someone walked into the alley and found it very strange to see a middle-aged woman sitting there crying.
When this man walked past Madam Lu, he deliberately slowed down his pace and looked at Madam Lu a few more times.
Madam Lu felt embarrassed to sit here and cry any longer.
So, he gritted his teeth, stood up with the help of the wall, and limped towards the street.
She took out a handkerchief and pretended to cover her nose, but in fact she was covering her face.
He looked at the direction and walked in the opposite direction of the Marquis' Mansion.
She didn't dare go to the pharmacy near the marquis's mansion to buy medicine.
People in the nearby pharmacies might know her.
It was not until they were almost at the north gate that Nanny Lu was able to buy some ointment to reduce swelling and remove blood stasis in a small pharmacy.
She sprained her foot and it was getting more and more painful, so Nanny Lu bought herself a bottle of ointment for the sprain.
After leaving the pharmacy, they saw an empty horse-drawn carriage. Nanny Lu quickly stopped the carriage and got on.
Nanny Lu didn't dare tell the coachman that she was going to Marquis Qinxing's Mansion.
She only said the name of the street where the Marquis Qinxing's mansion was located.
Nowadays, the four words "Qinxing Marquis Mansion" represent shamelessness, humiliation, and disgrace!
Nanny Lu huddled in the carriage, feeling more and more sad the more she thought about it.
She suddenly thought that maybe she should leave the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!
But her indenture was in the Marquis's mansion, how could she leave?
In addition to despair, there is still despair...
How long will this shameful life last?
What's the point of following a master who is poorer than slaves?
To buy medicine for the master, a servant like me has to pay with my own money...
Such a master and servant...haha...are really rare in the world!
All of this suddenly became so...ridiculous!
