Because the middle-aged man was in a hurry, he could not stop panting when he reached the kitchen. After shouting, he temporarily did not have the energy to say anything else and kept panting.
Chunhong and Chunying had stopped, but they had yet to figure out the situation. They immediately ran up to the middle-aged man and pretended to be pitiful, adding oil to the fire and complaining.
“Uncle, this little maidservant broke my finger and even scolded us. She scolded us very badly.”
“Uncle, this little maidservant said that the Lord would definitely choose her as his consort, so she used her power to take away the Consort’s Rank Five demonic beast meat.”
“Uncle, you have to stand up for us!”
“And that Hao. He joined forces with this little maidservant to bully us.”
“You, you…” Steward Zhao had received a report from the kitchen that his two nieces had offended the consort in the kitchen. He was so anxious that he rushed over.
He had thought that his two nieces had only accidentally offended the consort. The matter should not be too serious. If he stepped forward to plead for leniency, he should be able to protect them.
But when he arrived at the scene, he realized that the matter was simply too huge. It was no longer something a small supervisor like him could bear.
What was worse was that his two ignorant nieces had actually complained about the consort in front of her. Wasn’t this courting death?
Steward Zhao really wanted to strangle his stupid nieces to death immediately. When he finally caught his breath, he quickly scolded them. “Shut up, both of you!”
“Uncle, why are you so angry at us? We’re the ones who…” Chunhong wanted to say ‘we’re the ones who have been wronged’, but before she could finish speaking, she saw their uncle suddenly kneel down and kowtow to the ‘maidservant’ they had accused just now to beg for mercy. “Consort, you’re a magnanimous person. Let these two children off. I’ll immediately send them out of the Lord’s Estate.”
When they heard the title ‘consort’, Chunhong and Chunying were completely stunned. Now, they looked at Xue Fanxin in disbelief. Then, they revealed panicked expressions and were left with trembling bodies. In the end, they could not even stand steadily and knelt down with Steward Zhao. Because they were too afraid, they could not say a word, and their minds were buzzing.
This person was actually the consort?
They had actually scolded the consort and even wanted to hit her… It was over, it was over, it was really over.
In such a situation, unless the Lord was willing to save them, they would definitely die.
How could the Lord save them?
No wonder Hao had said that they should worry about who could save them. So that was what he meant.
This damned Hao. He knew the identity of the consort but did not tell them. He deserved to die.
Xue Fanxin ignored the kneeling Chunhong and Chunying and looked at Steward Zhao, who was also kneeling. She asked solemnly, “Steward Zhao, your two nieces said that they found out from you that the Lord is about to choose consorts and concubines. I wonder if this is true?”
When Steward Zhao heard this, he felt that this matter was serious and quickly explained. “Your Highness, I never said that His Highness wanted to choose consorts and concubines. This has nothing to do with me! I can’t even see His Highness for a year and a half. It’s just that some time ago, His Highness instructed me to choose a few smart maidservants to serve Your Highness, so…”
At this point, Steward Zhao came to a realization. He finally knew what the problem was.
He had told his two maidservants that the Lord wanted to choose maidservants for the Consort. At that time, he had even joked that if they served the Consort well, they might be chosen by the Lord as consorts and concubines.
Unexpectedly, his two nieces mistakenly thought that the Lord wanted to choose more consorts and concubines. They even caused a commotion because of this. It was really…
However, Xue Fanxin could roughly guess from Steward Zhao’s reaction. Initially, she had wanted to reduce the matter to a small matter. After all, this was not a big deal. The matter of choosing consorts and concubines had only been spread by mistake.
However, when she had such thoughts, Chunhong, who was kneeling by the side, said indignantly, “Uncle, you clearly said that the Lord wanted to choose consorts and concubines.”
