Chapter 278 The Heroine's Halo
Sun on the side was even more shocked.
With his mouth slightly open, he looked at Liu Sisi, then at Fu Zhiming, and then at Zhao, shaking his head like a rattle.
Not to mention that Sun was shocked, even people like Qin and Lan, who had seen the world, didn't know what to say when they saw this scene.
I was completely speechless.
Fu Zhiyi, however, remained expressionless as usual. He had long noticed that something was odd between Liu Sisi and the third brother. So that's what it was.
The third brother is indeed not a good person, and the girl from the Liu family is not a good person either. The girl, who is only about ten years old, actually had the idea of seducing her cousin's husband and was willing to be vulgar.
He was too lazy to watch this pair of dogs ogling each other in public, it was disgusting.
He interrupted directly, "Since Miss Liu is fine, shouldn't we ask what exactly happened? How did Brother Lun fall into the water? What were his wet nurse and maid doing? And how did Miss Liu happen to discover it?"
Fu Zhiming said reflexively, "My cousin just woke up. Why don't we wait until she's better before asking?"
Fu Zhiyi sneered, "Third brother, the one who fell into the water was your own son! He was perfectly fine in the mansion, surrounded by maids and servants, how could he have fallen into the water? Is there a conspiracy here? This time it was Brother Lun, will it be one of the other brothers and sisters next time?"
"You don't value your son, but others do!"
"Besides, how many hours has it been since your son fell into the water? With all of you here, besides blaming the doctor for his incompetence, who has investigated the situation? Have you consulted the servants?"
These words made Fu Zhiming's face turn pale and blue, and he couldn't say anything.
Lun Geer understood Fu Zhiyi's question, wiped his tears, ran over, and grabbed Fu Zhiyi's sleeve: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I know, ask me -"
Fu Zhiyi patted Lun Ge'er on the shoulder and asked, "Okay, then Lun Ge'er, tell me, why did you end up by the water? Where did the people who waited on you go? Was there anyone around when you fell into the water?"
Lun Ge'er thought for a moment and said, "When I was taking a break in the school to go to the bathroom, I heard that my cousin aunt would be sent back to the Zhao family the next day. I wanted to give her a gift. So I sneaked out and wanted to go back and find a gift for her."
"After I found the gift, I asked someone to invite my cousin to meet me in the garden so I could give her the gift."
"Because I was waiting for so long, I saw a big carp in the water and wanted to fish, and then I fell into the water."
Fu Zhiyi continued to ask: "Then how did you fall into the water?"
Lun Ge'er thought about it seriously and said, "I forgot."
Lu Zhenzhen pushed Fu Zhiyi away. What could he get out of asking that question?
He squatted down, looked at Lunger level, and asked gently, "Besides having someone notify your aunt, did anyone else know that you went to the garden?"
Lunger shook his head.
"So when you were by the water, was there anyone nearby?"
Lun Ge'er thought about it and shook his head.
"So, when Lun fell into the water, did you slip? Or was someone pushing you?"
Lun Ge'er bit his finger in distress and thought for a long time before he spoke: "I don't know either. I was far away from the water, but the big red carp jumped so high that I walked closer to take a look. Then I don't know how I fell into the water. I don't remember anything."
Lu Zhenzhen had a guess in her mind; she was familiar with this question.
Isn’t it described in many books that the so-called heroine has the halo of a heroine?
When the heroine fails to achieve a certain goal, this halo will actively correct the plot and achieve the heroine's goal.
If no one pushed Lun Ge'er into the water, it might be because of Liu Sisi's halo as the heroine.
Liu Sisi probably didn't want to leave the Marquis' Mansion, but she had no reason to stay.
Then there was the story of how Lunger fell into the water and was rescued by her.
Otherwise, how could Brother Lun have heard the news by chance, and even sneaked back to get the things without being discovered?
The maids, old women and wet nurses around you don’t know either?
There are always people coming and going in the garden, including those cleaning and guarding it.
How come no one saw Lun Ge'er?
It's so strange that such big bugs appear at the same time.
But he couldn't be so sure, so he turned around and asked Liu Sisi, "When did Miss Liu get to the water's edge?"
Liu Sisi bit her lip. "I rushed over as soon as I got the news. Before I even got there, I saw Lunge'er fall into the water. In my haste, I didn't have time to call for help, so I jumped in after him."
"It was thanks to my maid who followed behind that she called for help and rescued me and Lun Ge'er—"
After hearing this, Fu Zhiming became furious.
I was already full of anger, and when I heard Lun Ge'er say that he came back to the house from school and then went to the garden, there was no one to serve him.
That was an uncontrollable rage.
Do you think that the people in the mansion are just being perfunctory because they see that he is under house arrest and is useless?
Do this to his son?
He roared, "Where are the people who served Lun Ge'er? Where have they all gone? For failing to serve their master, drag them all out and give them ten beatings with boards, then sell them off!"
"You treat me like this? Are you trying to curry favor with Big Brother by stepping on me because I'm down and out? Don't forget, no matter how down and out I am, I'm still Big Master's son! And Brother Lun is Big Master's eldest grandson! Is he something you can bully?"
……
The maids and servants kneeling on the ground were already anxious and waiting for their fate.
After hearing what Fu Zhiming said, he immediately cried out for justice and begged for mercy.
But Fu Zhiming was furious at the moment, so how could he be willing to forgive?
Even Zhao deeply hated these maids and old women at this moment. Her good brother almost lost his life because of their negligence.
They should be thankful that Lun Ge'er is fine, otherwise these people would be buried with Lun Ge'er!
Naturally, he would not beg for mercy. Not only that, Zhao was furious. He wanted to sell these people not only, but also sell them to the lowest and dirtiest places in order to vent his hatred.
After all, it is the business of Lanyue Courtyard. Moreover, these maids and servants did not serve well and they really deserve a reprimand.
Neither Qin nor Lan said anything.
At Fu Zhiming's command, several servants rushed in and dragged the maids and old women away.
Zhao only ordered: "Beat him while covering his mouth. Don't scare him!"
Everyone looked at Zhao and saw that her face was full of anger. They all knew that she gave such an order because she felt sorry for Lun Ge'er. In the end, there was nothing much to say, so they just let it go.
Not long after, the muffled sound of beating came from outside, and it seemed as if the heavy sound was hitting every maid and servant.
Everyone's face turned pale.
After the beating was over, Qin and Lan were about to leave.
After all, they are our elders, and it's good enough that they can come and show some concern.
Sun, Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi naturally followed behind to say goodbye. The Lanyue Courtyard was in a mess, so let them deal with it on their own and don't get involved.
