956: Chapter 950 Punishnt 956: Chapter 950 Punishnt “How dare you try to swindle ?” Madam Lin snapped.
“Another word and I’ll have you sent to see the officials!”
So Searcy was cast out of the Lin Residence’s main gate, cursing all the way, stopping only when she’d put so distance between herself and the house.
Then she headed toward Jisheng Hall.
Thereafter, she would be the resident doctor at Jisheng Hall.
Madam Lin looked again toward the palace maid, who said, “Just like that?
I dare not report this to the Empress.
Hmm, your family’s Miss is quite sothing, possessing both dical skills and disguise techniques.
Who knows who might be Miss Gu in disguise on the streets tomorrow.
But soone adept in these lower arts of disguise may not be suitable for marrying into the Imperial Family.
I will certainly report the truth of this matter to Her Majesty in the palace.”
Gu Youyou bowed her head, maintaining her composure even on her knees.
She said, “I do not know the art of disguise; it’s just the maid I bought recently who knows a bit.”
After speaking, she looked up at Lun Yu, who was kneeling beside her.
Lun Yu felt like he had ‘ssed up big ti.’
“Dang it, you’re the master, so what if you disguised yourself, but why drag into this?”
Lun Yu quickly forced a laugh and said, “It’s just a small skill, good enough to earn a living, Madam.
Please sell this servant off.”
The crowd: “…” They swore this was the first servant who actively requested to be sold.
Shouldn’t she be wailing and begging not to be sold?
Madam Lin paused in surprise, then snapped, “You crafty servant, if I’m selling you, you’re going to a brothel.
Go, get her servitude contract.”
Hen Xiang hesitated, “Madam, this servant’s servitude contract isn’t in our possession.”
Madam Lin’s expression darkened as she turned to Gu Youyou and said, “Youyou?”
Gu Youyou also hesitated, “Aunt, I don’t have it either.
She…
She was bought by Searcy to sort the dicines at the hall.”
“Ah, right, right, since my master has been thrown out, I should leave too, Madam Lin, Miss Gu, until we et again!”
So none of the crafty servants she intended to punish were punished, they all escaped?
The palace maid’s face turned ashen, and Madam Lin’s face wasn’t looking any better as she said, “Madam Li, what do you suggest we do now?”
“Humph!” Madam Li huffed coldly, clearly not willing to let it go just like that.
Left with no choice, Madam Lin turned to Gu Youyou, “Youyou, since you live in Lin Residence, you should abide by its rules.
Do you agree?
If you agree, your sneaking out of the residence must be punished.
If you disagree, you can leave with the other crafty servants, and I won’t bother you anymore!”
Being expelled now would hardly be favorable for her, staying at Jisheng Hall?
Would that make it easier for the Empress to act?
Moreover, being expelled from the Lin Residence at this critical mont would likely be turned into a big issue by the Empress and affect this selection event.
Gu Youyou said, “Youyou has received care from my uncle and aunt and naturally considers herself as a part of the Lin Family.
Since Youyou has broken the family rules, she will accept any punishnt from Aunt.”
“Hmm.” Madam Lin nodded in satisfaction and said, “Then we will follow the family laws.
What is the usual punishnt for the young ladies who sneak out, Hen Xiang?”
Hen Xiang hurriedly replied, “Madam, previously when the young mistress sneaked out, you punished her by having her copy the won’s precepts a hundred tis.”
“Good, then go back and copy the won’s precepts a hundred tis.”
Gu Youyou obediently accepted the punishnt and returned to her courtyard to start copying.
Madam Li’s eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets.
“What?
Just copying is enough?
Madam Lin, is this how you plan to explain to the Empress?”
