6.9 - Be punished

　　Several maids opened the windproof curtain and hurried in, and a gust of cold air rushed in. The second concubine was looking at the patterns presented by the embroidery shop's master. She held a hand warmer in her hand and said without raising her head, "What's going on? Could it be that your young master has gotten into trouble again?"

　　She originally just said it jokingly, but she didn't expect those girls to remain silent.

　　She frowned, handed the selected pattern to the embroiderer, waved her hand to let her leave, and asked, "What happened? Usually you are all eloquent, but now you are all silent? Xiao Cui'er, you tell me."

　　Xiao Cui'er's face turned pale, she bowed slightly towards her, and whispered: "Replying to Second Auntie, someone from the front yard just came to pass on a message, saying that there was a big conflict outside the mansion, and the eldest master even took out his gun. I don't know what happened, anyway, the second young master asked the eldest young master to carry him into the house. I also heard that..."

　　The second concubine threw the carved gold-carved hot water bottle onto the table, making a "click" sound. She was so angry that she laughed. "I thought that now that his elder brother is back, he would know how to control his temper and not cause me trouble, but it turns out that his nature is hard to change! As long as there is something bad, he must be involved! Tell me, what else he heard, I want to see what trouble he can cause me!"

　　"I heard, I heard that the second young master was drunk, and when the eldest young master saw it, the second young master... he was hugged and kissed by a man..." At the end, Xiao Cui'er's voice was almost inaudible.

　　The Second Concubine stood up suddenly, her eyes went dark, and she almost lost her balance. None of the servants in the room dared to breathe loudly.

　　Everyone who serves in the courtyard knows that the second young master has always been a ridiculous person. He refuses to do what he should do, and does what he shouldn't do. He used to spend a lot of money in the theater to support a famous singer, which is not a big deal. Listening to operas and music is at least worthy of the word "elegant". But he plays with men right at his doorstep, isn't it fatal?

　　It was a very cold day, and the second concubine broke out in a cold sweat. She asked, "Does the Marshal know?"

　　Xiao Cui'er shook her head repeatedly, "The steward said that the Marshal went to the parade ground to train new soldiers, and he may not have returned yet. However, the gatekeeper on duty is the Madam's man. In broad daylight, although we are far away, we can't hear what they said, but that bastard has very good eyesight and saw everything he shouldn't have seen. Now I'm afraid he can't hide it from the Madam. Moreover... Adjutant Sun was on duty at the gate with a lot of soldiers today, and he probably saw it clearly. I'm afraid he can't hide it from the Marshal today."

　　The Second Concubine slammed the table fiercely, and cursed "debt collector" several times in a row, pinching her palms until they bled, and said, "Where is Shen Mingxuan! I don't care where he is, bring him back to me and lock him up in the woodshed. No one is allowed to let him out until I ask. I just don't believe that I, Meng Lanxin, who has been smart all my life, can't correct this crooked seedling!"

　　Seeing that she was so angry that she had lost her mind, Xiao Cui'er had to hurriedly respond with a "yes" and took people to Shen Mingcheng to ask for their young master.

　　Shen Mian was placed in Shen Mingcheng's room. Adjutant Sun ordered someone to bring a basin of hot water, but did not allow the maids to enter the room to serve him. Now that he is the eldest young master's man, he is very clear about what can be seen by outsiders and what must not be leaked.
