Chapter 418: Haunted Again
Chapter 418: Haunted Again
In such an environment, sometimes severe penalties are most effective.
She would not stay in the Guo family for long, so she did not need to win over the hearts of these servants, and it would be difficult to do so. She only needed a simple and rough intimidation, which was simple and direct.
Of course, doing so requires having something to rely on.
There is the marriage with the Yue family and the Yue family's maid. Even if the people of the Guo family are angry, they cannot punish her openly.
Even if they want to take action, the Guo family will have to think twice.
After she finished speaking, all the maids and nannies changed their expressions, because they could tell from her expression that she was serious and not just trying to scare people. Moreover, when she ordered people to beat Nanny Li just now, she was really merciless. If Nanny Li had not finally admitted her mistake and begged for mercy, she would really beat people to death!
"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison.
Even Madam Liu lowered her attitude at this moment. Although she was the old lady's person, it was because she understood the old lady and the importance of this marriage that she knew that if this matter got out of hand, with Miss Nine's temper, she would be in big trouble!
Originally, she also wanted to follow the old lady's intention to secretly warn the Ninth Young Lady, but now it seems that this matter is really tricky and she needs to think about it carefully.
At this moment, not only the people in the house were trembling with fear, but even those who were secretly watching outside were frightened, and then hurriedly retreated from the house and did their work honestly.
After this incident, everyone's attitude changed completely, and they no longer dared to look down on this ruthless young lady.
"Madame Li is not feeling well, so please rest aside. Madame Liu, you will teach us the rules."
Si He said something to them, and several maids hurriedly helped Li Ma to sit aside, but without her clear instructions, they did not dare to treat Li Ma's wound, so Li Ma could only endure it silently.
Fortunately, although Nanny Li's injuries were a bit serious, they were not life-threatening, and she didn't bleed much, so she wouldn't die, but she would be in great pain.
Nanny Liu had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue teaching her the rules of etiquette. The others waited obediently by the side, not even daring to look at her for fear of offending her.
Si He followed the instructions seriously and was actually very easy to talk to as long as she wasn't deliberately made difficult.
The subsequent teaching went smoothly until lunch, when they stopped to rest. Only then was Nanny Li supported and taken away to treat her injuries.
However, when Si He was halfway through her meal, Madam Guo came over with her men in a menacing manner.
Accompanying them were two legitimate daughters, Aunt Deng and Guo Jiayan.
This large group of people walked towards Xiangxueyuan, attracting the attention of many servants, but no one dared to come over to investigate the situation. Guards were stationed at the door, and even people from the second and third rooms had no chance to come over.
Si He watched the arrival of this large group of people and glanced at Nanny Li who was being supported. At this moment, Nanny Li's spirit had improved a lot, as if she had someone to rely on and was no longer afraid of her. A fierce look appeared in her eyes again.
"Guo Jiaqu! How dare you attack the teaching nanny without authorization! She is here to teach you under the orders of the old lady. You are rebelling!"
Madam Guo is now settling both old and new grudges. She had previously let her maidservants beat up a group of followers, but that was fine with her. Today, she has not changed her ways. First, she offended the eldest sister, and then she beat the nanny. If she is not punished, this family will be in chaos!
Si He put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, looked at the furious Madam Guo, and said calmly: "If you make a mistake, you must be punished."
Mrs. Guo laughed angrily, "Then tell me, what mistake did she make?"
Si He looked at Nanny Li, and at the moment their eyes met, she stared at her unnoticed, using only a very weak bit of her ability to control herself so as not to reveal the abnormality in her eyes. Although this could not completely control others, it could disrupt some people's thinking and put them in a semi-conscious, semi-confused state.
"Madame Li, did you admit your mistake yourself before?"
Nanny Li was stunned by her gaze. She wanted to refute, but suddenly a strange and uncontrollable 'thought' in her mind seemed to be trying to control her. It felt like she was possessed by a ghost, and she said uncontrollably: "Yes, yes, I was wrong..."
When Madam Guo heard this, her eyes widened and she turned to look at Nanny Li, obviously shocked. Why would she say that?!
The others also looked at Nanny Li. Nanny Li had clearly not said this before, and Madam Guo had made the decision, but by saying this now, wasn't she slapping Madam Guo in the face?
At this moment, after Li Ma Ma finished speaking, her face was horrified and her heart was extremely panicked. She quickly said: "No, no, I, I..."
For a moment, she looked as if in pain. She raised her hands and covered her head, as if she had a headache. She continued, "I was wrong... I was wrong... No, no, there is... a ghost!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her body uncontrollably crashed into a pillar not far away.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, Nanny Li fell to the ground with a bleeding head, which showed how hard she hit him.
Everyone who saw this scene was horrified. They were all stunned, in disbelief and extremely shocked!
Si He also showed an appropriate look of surprise as she looked at Nanny Li who had fallen to the ground not far away.
After a while, an old lady came to check the situation. However, she did not dare to get too close. She kept a distance and checked carefully.
But Nanny Li had died on the spot, her eyes wide open and blood all over the floor.
"Madame Li is dead."
As soon as these words were spoken, most people's expressions changed again, especially what Li Ma said before she died. She said there was a ghost!
Everyone believed it!
Because several maids in the Guo family had died from being possessed by evil spirits before, and their deaths were tragic and horrific. In comparison, the death of Nanny Li was not too ugly.
But, in broad daylight, the Guo family had placed objects to ward off evil spirits everywhere, so how could there be a ghost again?
But everyone saw what was wrong with Nanny Li just now. She did indeed run into someone and kill herself after she shouted "There's a ghost!"
Why would a person, who is perfectly fine, seek death? That can only be because he is possessed by a ghost!
For a moment, many people were horrified. They swallowed their saliva, shrank their bodies, and unconsciously reached for the talisman paper they carried with them, as if this would make them feel a little more at ease.
At this moment, Madam Guo no longer cared about causing trouble for Si He, and hurriedly took her people away from here. They all looked very frightened.
But Nanny Li's body was not taken away and was left on the ground.
After a while, the group of people left, leaving only the people from Xiangxueyuan. These servants were also terrified. They all stood in the sunlight, gathered together, trembling with fear, and did not dare to approach the house at all. Some people even ran out of the yard.
Only Gao You, Gao Zi, and Si He were left in the room.
