3397: Tied to a rope

Tied to a rope

As a servant of an aristocratic family, the most important thing was to keep his mouth shut. He would hear whatever he saw and would not speak without his master's permission. These servants were good. In the time it took to serve the dishes, they had already publicized what had just happened.2

If it was any other secret, it could bring an unexpected disaster to the Xu family. It seemed that he had been too gentle to these servants. It was time to show some of the dignity of a family head.

"Lord patriarch, I know I was wrong. I really didn't mean it." The maidservant had rarely seen Xu zhangyun so angry, so she was trembling in fear.

"Forget it. It's only human nature. If it were me, I'd definitely be eager to share such a fun thing with my good sister." Ling Chuxi said with a smile, indirectly pleading for mercy on behalf of the maidservant.

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time for the sake of Alchemist Ling. In the future, think carefully about what you should say and what you shouldn't say." The Xu family head said with a cold snort.

"Thank you, Lord patriarch, for showing mercy. Thank you, Alchemist Grandmaster Ling. I won't dare to do it again in the future." The maidservant said repeatedly as she looked at Ling Chuxi with eyes full of gratitude.

Clan master Qian and the others were deeply moved. It might seem like a small matter, but from this moment on, that maidservant must be deeply grateful to Ling Chuxi and might even become her loyal admirer.

It turned out that Ling Chuxi was not only scheming and calculative, but she also had a way of winning over people's hearts. Looking at LAN Xinyu, meixiu, and Gongxi kuangdao who were following beside Ling Chuxi, the various family heads were all deep in thought. As the heads of the aristocratic families, they naturally understood one thing. Many times, some seemingly insignificant people could become key figures that could turn the universe and change history at certain times.

Ling Chuxi's achievements today were definitely not by chance.

In reality, they had thought too much. Ling Chuxi had no intention of winning over the People's hearts at all. She had done it out of goodwill and did not want to see this maidservant being punished for such a small matter.

"Great Alchemist Ling, we're relieved to hear you say that. However, it's said that Xiahou Ying's elder brother is an adjudicator of the judicial Committee. Not only is his strength shocking, but he also has a high position. He's not someone that an outer Deacon can compare to. We should be careful." Clan master Qian reminded.

"Let's not talk about whether this rumor is true or false. Even if it is true, as a judge, you should know the severity of this matter. You should not allow your family to do evil." Ling Chuxi said disapprovingly.

"That's true. If even the judges can't tell right from wrong, then what's the point of the great clans 'judgment Council? besides, all of us here saw what happened today. Xiahou Ying brought it upon himself. Would he dare to destroy all of the great clans in our small realm?" The Chen clan head also chimed in.

"That's true," Clan master Qian and the others finally relaxed after hearing what they said.

"Alright, you guys don't have to worry about anything now, right? let's continue eating." Ling Chuxi picked up her chopsticks again.

"Alright, alright, let's start eating." Perhaps it was because they were feeling relaxed, but seeing Ling Chuxi, LAN Xinyu, and the rest eating so happily, the Xu family head, Qian family head, and the others opened their mouths wide.

Everyone temporarily put down their burdens. As they drank, the atmosphere became more harmonious. After all, they had offended Xiahou Ying and were now completely tied to the same rope.
