Chapter 497 Burns
Feng Miaohua took a sip of water and said, "I don't like fruit juice, it's too sweet, pour me a cup of hot tea."
Her maid heard it and took another tea bowl and came to the table with a kettle to pour water. When the maid was pouring water, Feng Miaohua reached out to take the nuts on the table and happened to touch the maid's arm. The spout of the kettle in the maid's hand was just facing Chu Hanyan's hand on the table. When the girl's arm was touched by her own girl, some of the water in the kettle poured out.
It was said to be late, but it was fast. Qi'er pushed Chu Hanyan's hand away and poured some hot water on Qi'er's hand, but it still spilled a little on Chu Hanyan's hand.
Chu Hanyan was afraid, hurt, and wronged. She cried "wow", got up and pulled Qi'er to go back to Handanxuan to find her mother.
And the "trouble-making" maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy. She had no choice. If she didn't listen to her master, she would be punished more severely when she returned. If they listened to their master, they would still be punished, but with the master's intercession, the punishment would not be too severe.
This incident scared the girls. Yinghui's eldest maid Hong'er was terrified. Usually, the master is the one who makes trouble, and the servants take the blame. She quickly sent someone to notify the master in Handanxuan, and asked someone to invite a doctor, and then came to see if Miss Chu and Qi'er's hands were burned. Seeing that there were two small blisters on the back of Chu Hanyan's hand, and Qi'er's hand was a bit more serious, with a string of blisters,
Li Cheng and Zhu Ying'er reacted and hurriedly coaxed Chu Hanyan, while Yinghui said to Feng Miaohua, "What's wrong with you?"
Feng Miaohua looked aggrieved and said stubbornly, "How can her mental illness be cured? She is still stupid. The maid was pouring hot water, why did she stretch her hand so long?"
Zhu Ying'er said unhappily, "How can sister Yan'er's hand be stretched so long? It was obviously intentional by you, the master and the servant."
Feng Miaohua raised her voice and said, "Zhu Ying'er, you can't say this casually."
Li Cheng said angrily, "Feng Miaohua, don't think others are stupid. You scalded Yan'er, let's see how the eleventh brother will teach you a lesson."
Because Chen Afu's children are lovable, she also has a seat in this hall. She was watching those old women teasing a few children, and saw the maid coming to report that the eldest sister of the Chu family was scalded by the maid of the fourth sister of the Feng family.
Everyone was shocked. Chen Afu, Prince An's wife, and Princess Ronghe and others got up and rushed out.
On the way, they met a few little girls walking towards Handanxuan. Miss Chu's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
After the doctor treated Chu Hanyan and Qi'er's injuries, the adults also heard what happened. Li Cheng, Zhu Ying'er, Qi'er, and Luo Mei said that Feng Miaohua and the maid deliberately burned them. Feng Miaohua and her maid said that Chu Hanyan was slow to react, stretched her hands too long, and put them next to the tea bowl, and was burned by the maid without paying attention. Yinghui and Li Ziqi said that they didn't pay attention and didn't see clearly.
Chen Afu definitely believed that it was Feng Miaohua who deliberately burned people. She hugged the little girl and felt distressed and angry.
Princess Ronghe was relieved to see that Chu Hanyan was not seriously injured. She knew that the Chu family was in power, and the prince and Xiaoyi were on the side of the Chu family, and she didn't want to offend them.
She said to Chen Afu, "Mrs. Chu, I'm sorry. It was those servants who were clumsy and caused the trouble. I will beat her half to death and sell her when I return home." She reprimanded Feng Miaohua with a gloomy face, and finally said, "... Although Miss Chu's hand was too long and it was the servants who caused the trouble, the incident was caused by you. Go and apologize to Madam Chu."
Prince Ronghe was talking to others in the side room before, and did not see the scene where Xiao Shiyi personally introduced Chu Hanyan to Li Cheng, otherwise she would not be so neglectful of Chu Hanyan. In her mind, Chu Hanyan was just Chen Afu's stepdaughter, and she had the blood of the Ma family. Even her grandfather didn't like her. If Rong Zhao made her stupid, her stepmother would definitely not like her.
Chen Afu was already furious when Feng Miaohua bullied people, and he was even more furious when he saw Ronghe being so arrogant. It was really too much to bully people. He burned people and still had such an attitude. Chu Hanyan grew up in her own hands, so she couldn't let others bully her like this.
Chen Afu didn't want to bother those nobles, but she couldn't bear being stepped on like this.
She ignored Ronghe and Feng Miaohua who came to say "I'm sorry" to her, but said to Chu Hanyan who was still crying, "Yan'er, don't cry. See, people can't be too kind. If you are too kind, people will treat you as a fool, bully you and blame you, and bite you back. Remember, if someone burns you in the future, you burn it back. If you can't bear it, let your girl burn it. Don't be afraid of getting into trouble. Not only do you have the third grandmother who is the most beloved by the Queen Mother, but you also have the affection of growing up with the Eleventh Prince and the Prince of Rui." She didn't dare to say that she raised the Eleventh Prince, cured the Prince of Rui, and had the Duke of Chu who gave everything for the prince, and the third grandfather who was the marshal. This was taking advantage of the favor and taking credit. Then she said to the two brothers who were holding their sister and crying, "You are men. Don't cry when something happens. You should practice your skills and be your sister's support."
The two brothers stopped crying immediately after hearing this. They shook their fists at Feng Miaohua and shouted, "Bad boy, I'll beat you..."
Ronghe was unhappy and said with a gloomy face, "Mrs. Chu, how do you teach your children?"
Mrs. Chu San was angry, "Ronghe, if she doesn't teach her children like this, does she still teach her children to let your child get burned? It's really too much, you have no education, you burn someone and you still blame others. Yan'er, your mother is right, you have so many people to rely on, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. If you get into trouble, Grandma San and Xiaoyi will help you..."
At this time, Xiao Shiyi, who heard the news, came running over. Seeing Chu Hanyan crying like a tearful person and the back of her hand with burn medicine, he was furious.
He pointed at Feng Miaohua and asked, "Did you and the servants burn Yan'er together?"
Feng Miaohua saw that the smiling uncle Shiyi had red eyes and clenched fists at this time, and was scared to tears. He stepped back and shook his head, "No, it was her, I didn't..."
Xiao Shiyi continued to point at her and shouted, "I didn't realize that you are so vicious at such a young age. You will be a disaster when you grow up. Wait, I will go back to the palace and tell my father and mother that people like you must be taught a lesson." He said to the eunuch who followed him, "Go, let the guards take the girl who burned people out and beat her... half to death." He wanted to beat her to death, but he couldn't bear it, and continued, "Then sell her to the mountains." In his opinion, being sold to the mountains is the most miserable.
Then, Xiao Shiyi took Chu Hanyan's hand and coaxed her patiently, pouring out baskets of good words.
Ronghe was a little scared when he saw Xiao Shiyi treating Chu Hanyan like this, as well as Huachang and Chen Afu with sullen faces. If this matter was not handled properly, both he and his daughter would be punished.
