Lord of the Desert

Chapter 6 Mother's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
"I beg the steward, please pass on Mrs. Jiang now!"

Da Furen ordered sharply, and immediately a servant rushed to the kitchen.

Not long after, the Jiang family's wife was brought over, wearing Aunt Liu's brocade turban on her head.

Then the housekeeper Qiu, who had been instructed by the eldest lady, began to ask questions.

The development of the matter was just as Hong Fan expected—how could the eloquent old woman in the past have the ability to confront and argue when she saw so many big figures present?

After several questions, she shook off everything she had done like beans poured from a bamboo tube, and she was half paralyzed on the ground.

"The eldest lady and the butler are usually friendly to the old servant, but the old servant was deceived by the lard and became greedy, so he attacked Young Master Fan."

But even at this time, the Jiang family's mother-in-law still has at least a ray of clarity, and she only blames herself for all the faults.

"The old servant has served the Hong family for generations. The old servant has made a big mistake this time. I am willing to accept the punishment. I just ask Da Furen not to drive me out..."

On such occasions, she didn't dare to use her voice, she just knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

It wasn't until the housekeeper begged to go up and kick her to the ground that he stopped talking.

There were guests from the Li family waiting, and the eldest lady did not want to delay, so she made a judgment quickly.

"Mr. Jiang, if my Hong family hadn't run the family with benevolence and virtue, I would have killed you today, which is justified!"

Her voice was so severe that the Jiang family's wife started to kowtow fiercely again, blood was dripping from her forehead soon.

"Fortunately, Brother Fan didn't do anything wrong, so I will spare your life."

"Seek virtue, punish Jiang for half a year, kick out of the kitchen, and become a toilet cleaner."

The so-called toilet cleaners are the servants who clean the toilets and huts. It is the dirtiest and most despicable job with the lowest pay in the Hong family.

"Brother Fan, this treatment may be in your favor?"

The eldest lady asked Hong Fan again.

"Madam is fair, and Hong Fan has no objection."

Hong Fan saluted again, without looking at Jiang's wife who was lying on the ground.

He is very clear that today's treatment seems to be harsh, but in fact it is raised high and put down gently.

No matter which clan a slave belongs to, it is the biggest crime for a slave to deceive his master.

The Jiang family's wife's punishment ended in money and position. First, Hong Fan's status is low and weak, and second, she is indeed somewhat respectable in the top.

According to Aunt Liu, the two sons of Jiang's family can be regarded as close friends of the two eldest sons of the eldest son.

Seeing that the matter subsided and Hong Fan became interested, the eldest lady restrained her anger a little, turned around and reprimanded the housekeeper, punishing him for three months.

As Jiang's immediate superior, the latter could only bow his head and dare not make a sound.

A farce ended with the lady's sincere care for Hong Fan.

It seems that Hong's family is still a loving mother and a filial son, and some disturbances are just the self-assessment of the people below.

"I am incapable of managing the family, and Mr. He laughed at me."

The eldest lady put on her smile again and laughed at herself.

"We wait for the rich family to take care of us extensively, and it is inevitable that mud and sand will fall together."

Li Heming, who had been watching with his hands behind his back, replied with a smile, and spoke to Hong Fan specifically.

"After being treated so harshly by evil slaves, it is really not easy to be able to protect the reputation of the family wholeheartedly."

This seems to be a compliment, but to Hong Fan, it always feels ironic.

It's just that it's not him who is ironic, but the Hong family.

As the backs of several important figures disappeared from the inner courtyard, the outer courtyard resumed its previous noisy.

Among them, most of the words are discussing what happened just now.

At the running water banquet, anyone with a little experience can see the undercurrent between the "mother and son".

If the mother is really kind and the son is filial, do you have to wait until today to file a complaint?
Hong Fan himself is naturally the clearest about this.

From now on, he can be sure that the daily diet will not only not be discounted, but will even be much better than the normal standard.

Otherwise, the Hong Chen family would not be able to escape the notoriety of treating the concubine harshly.

But all this is of course not without cost.

The face lost today will inevitably be like a thorn in Hong Chen's heart, and it will explode in a short time.

Thinking about it for a moment of silence, Hong Fan suddenly noticed that Hong Fu who was sitting beside him had been staring at him for a long time, and even forgot to put the peeled shrimp in the bowl to his mouth.

That was his favorite.

"Hong Fu, why do you look at me like this?"

Hong Fan asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel that Brother Fan has suffered a serious injury, and his whole person is different."

Hong Fu scratched his head and replied.

"It's a little different."

Hong Fan nodded.

"In the past few days of being ill in bed, I have actually been thinking about it."

"Reflecting on my many deficiencies in the past few years in dealing with people, clearing my heart and righteous thoughts."

He said, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

"But I have to admit that in the past, I saw one thing really clearly."

"what's up?"

Hong Fu asked curiously.

"That's when a man stands on his own—in Jinhai City, that's the only word for martial arts!"

Hong Fan sighed softly, regardless of the plausible bright moon, he just picked up a piece of hoof with his hand and chewed it heartily.

As the smell of salt and oil permeated between his lips and teeth, he finally put aside those entangled trade-offs of pros and cons.

Heal your wounds well and practice martial arts well.

As for the future, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water coming to cover it.

PS: I didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, took a sleeping pill, and got up late today...

Generally speaking, it is updated in the morning.
