Chapter 198 Don't do anything we shouldn't do.
Wang Ma was still unwilling to give up and followed the housekeeper closely, going wherever he went.
"Butler, we really know we were wrong, can you please not punish us?"
After saying that, he quickly winked at the person behind him.
Zhang Xinru received the hint and quickly went over, ready to pester the housekeeper together with Wang Ma.
Completely unaware of the person next to him who was lost in thought, he stepped on Dr. Zhao's foot.
"Butler, considering this is our first offense, please give us a yellow card warning this time!"
At worst, we can punish Wang Ma by making her eat one less bowl of rice, just to make a token gesture!
The butler was speechless: "...Do you think this is a foul in a sports competition, a yellow card warning?"
Dr. Zhao was jolted out of his reverie by the footsteps on his shoes and looked down at the footprints on his leather shoes.
"My shoe...you wretched woman, you stepped on my foot as soon as you got back! I was worried you'd been bullied by Aunt Wang, so I rushed back..."
However, no one paid any attention to him; everyone stared expectantly at the butler, hoping that the punishment would be lifted.
Dr. Zhao looked utterly exasperated: "Hey? Can't you see me standing right here?"
He's only been gone a few days, and people are already treating him like he's invisible.
The butler glanced at the maid beside him and, seeing that she also wanted to plead for him, quickly waved his hand to stop her.
"Stop talking. Making you clean for a month is the lightest punishment you can get. If you don't want to, then we'll deduct your wages!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to touch his cool back. Damn it, his clothes were torn. He shouldn't have been scratched by fingernails, right?
The housekeeper's words completely blocked all three of their escape routes.
The maid who had fought with them rubbed the spot where she had been pinched, picked up a broom, and walked out with a reluctant expression.
"Oh dear, what bad luck! These two cursed things are a curse for whoever gets involved with them..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinru stopped pleading with the housekeeper and made a move to roll up her sleeves and rush over.
"What did you say? Who's the real bad luck here?"
I went too easy on her in the fight just now. Ever since Ye Jiajia became a maid, nothing has gone smoothly for her.
Seeing this, the other party was so frightened that they hurriedly ran away, muttering under their breath, "We'll see, don't let me catch you doing anything wrong."
Zhang Xinru didn't really want to fight again, after all, she didn't want any more punishment.
For the next month, she probably won't be able to get a proper rest in her bedroom. However, even if it's cleaning the yard for a month, she'll have to find a way to minimize the punishment.
With this in mind, Zhang Xinru already had other plans.
“Wang Ma, stop bothering the housekeeper. One month is fine, this is the lesson we deserve.”
Wang Ma looked over with disbelief: "What did you say?" Was this still the Zhang Ma she knew?
Zhang Xinru didn't explain further, and then confirmed with the housekeeper again.
"Butler, you just said you were punishing us by making us clean for the other servants for a month, right?"
The butler nodded: "That's right."
Zhang Xinru: "That's good." Little brat, how much they help is up to them!
Wang Ma looked on in astonishment, "Are you alright?"
While speaking, he touched the other person's forehead and asked, "Were you still half asleep last night, or did you get hit on the head just now?"
Zhang Xinru slapped Wang Ma's hand away and whispered in Wang Ma's ear.
"It's just helping to sweep the floor. Sweeping a little is helping too! The housekeeper didn't say how much to help or how little. Just try to be lazy and don't do anything that's not our responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ma's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.
"You're right, you make sense, how come I didn't think of that?"
Looking at the two men's sly smiles, the butler felt that they were trying to find loopholes in his words.
Before the housekeeper could think it through, the maid who had just run out came running back in to complain.
"Butler, Wang Ma and Zhang Ma stole Juliet's roses from the garden last night. They probably haven't had time to deal with them yet. Please don't let them get away with this!"
Dr. Zhao: "?"
Why are you picking flowers again? Does Aunt Zhang particularly like Juliet roses?
Wang Ma looked around for a broom, "Are you never going to stop?!"
The maid took a few steps back. "Don't do anything rash. If you dare to fight again, it won't be as simple as just cleaning."
Zhang Xinru explained before the housekeeper could speak, "We didn't steal any flowers. It was the young master who insisted on taking a petal bath last night, and I couldn't refuse his request."
Then, she looked sharply at the maid who had complained and said in a serious tone.
"Besides, everything here belongs to the young master. All he wants is to take a bath with rose petals. Is that not allowed?"
Upon hearing this, the maid scoffed inwardly; she didn't believe Zhang Ma's story at all.
"Young Master has never taken a bath with roses from the garden before. Why did he suddenly want to take a petal bath last night? You must be lying."
Zhang Xinru wasn't afraid at all. Anyway, she had given all the flower petals to Fu Xiaochen last night, and what she said was true. As for whether it was a request or a forced acceptance, did it make any difference?
Fu Xiaochen, as the owner of this place, didn't say anything; it's a bit much for a servant to be meddling.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the young master."
"You think I wouldn't dare!"
Zhang Xinru deliberately provoked the other person: "Go ahead, go ask now! Are you too scared to go?"
The maid was provoked by these words and retorted, "Who said I wouldn't dare to go? I'll go right now!"
Just then, Fu Xiaochen and his group came out of the bedroom with cold faces.
Zhang Xinru guessed that Fu Xiaochen must have argued with Ye Jiajia again, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a terrible state.
The maid, unafraid of death, walked over and said, "Young master, Zhang Ma and Wang Ma stole Juliet's roses last night, saying they were for you to use in your petal bath!"
Fu Xiaochen was still angry and said impatiently, "So what if I used it? What, do I need to report to you what I use?"
The maid felt like she had shot herself in the foot and hurriedly replied, "No need, no need."
This isn't what I imagined. Why would a grown man like you take a petal bath?
Seeing Zhang Ma and Wang Ma gloating on the sidelines, the maid gritted her teeth inwardly. One day she would definitely find out what they were doing wrong. Just you wait!
Fu Xiaochen glanced at the time; it was already noon. He didn't have time to argue with Ye Jiajia right now.
Then he remembered that Ye Jiajia had slept all day yesterday, showing no sign of backing down and even going against him at every turn. He needed to find a way to get this woman to agree to be his woman again.
"Housekeeper, please arrange some things for Zhang Ma to do these next few days. Don't let her be idle."
Zhang Xinru: "?"
Is Fu Xiaochen sick? Does he think she's too idle all day?
Zhang Xinru voiced her doubts, "Young Master, have I offended you in some way?"
