The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 502: Colorful Clouds Turn into Dry Bones

"Somebody come!"

"I am here! May I ask what you may do for me, young lady?"

Caixia, who was standing outside the door, heard Wang Siruo's shout and hurried into the bedroom. Seeing that she looked not well, she asked cautiously.

"Go find me a guard dog!"

Wang Siruo played with his fingers and gave instructions lightly.

"Yes, ma'am."

Not knowing why Wang Siruo suddenly wanted a guard dog, Caixia didn't dare to ask any more questions and respectfully accepted the order to go downstairs to find a dog.

"Miss, this is the Buddhist scripture that the old lady asked me to bring. I hope you will copy it carefully and cultivate your character!"

After dinner, Wang Siruo was dozing on the couch when Nanny Wang came in with some Buddhist scriptures. She bowed respectfully to Wang Siruo and placed the scriptures on the table.

Wang Siruo stood up and picked up a Buddhist scripture to flip through. He smiled at Nanny Wang and said, "Thank you, Nanny! I will definitely copy and read this Buddhist scripture carefully. Please don't worry, grandma."

After saying that, he sat down at the desk, picked up his pen and began to copy seriously.

Seeing her serious attitude, Nanny Wang nodded secretly, bowed and left.

Time passed quickly and night fell quietly. During the whole day, except for meal time, Wang Siruo was copying Buddhist scriptures obediently. Caiyun, who was secretly observing her, reported Wang Siruo's performance to the old lady's courtyard.

The old lady was very satisfied with this and relaxed her supervision of Wang Siruo's yard.

"Caiyun! Go and call everyone in our yard over here, and remember to have the maid bolt the gate!"

Wang Siruo put down the brush, rubbed her wrist, and gave instructions to Caiyun who was quietly grinding ink for her.

"Yes, ma'am."

Caiyun took the order respectfully, put down the ink stick in her hand, and left in a hurry.

The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were all well-trained, and it didn't take long for them to gather in the open space in front of Wang Siruo's room.

Looking at the servants standing there waiting for her orders, Wang Siruo raised the corners of her lips, walked up to Caiyun, who was in the lead, lifted her chin and asked, "Caiyun, how does this lady treat you on weekdays?"

"The young lady treats me very well. She is much more lenient to the servants than the young ladies in other mansions."

Caiyun felt the force coming from her chin, swallowed nervously, and said with a forced smile.

"Oh? If that's the case, why are you so treacherous? The reason why my grandmother came to my yard this morning was because of your tip-off, right?"

Wang Siruo shook Caiyun's chin away, walked around her, and his face was very gloomy.

Caiyun was so frightened when she heard this that she fell to her knees and said in a trembling voice, "Please forgive me, young lady! The old lady is worried about you, so she asked me to report the truth about what happened in your courtyard."

"Oh! You listen to my grandmother! Unfortunately, I only want servants who are loyal to me! What do you think I should do with you?"

Seeing Caiyun kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, Wang Siruo stepped on her back and asked in her ear in a sinister voice.

"Miss, please spare my life! I will never dare to do that again. From now on, I will only listen to your orders!"

Caiyun knew very well that it would be as easy for these young ladies from official families to kill them as it was to step on an ant, so she kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Spare my life? Humph! If I spare you, how can I manage the servants in this courtyard? I will use you as an example to scare the monkeys today!"

Wang Siruo snorted coldly and put his hand on Caiyun's head. In the blink of an eye, Caiyun's figure disappeared, leaving only a pile of dry bones on the ground. Wang Siruo picked up a piece of hand bone and fed it to the dog tied beside him. He touched its head and said, "You must be obedient, and you will have no shortage of bones to eat in the future."

The dog's teeth were very sharp. After a few crunching sounds, it crushed the bone and swallowed it into its stomach. Wang Siruo smiled and put the whole skull in front of it.

The dog wagged its tail at Wang Siruo, held Caiyun's skull with its paws and began to chew on it excitedly.

When everyone saw this scene, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief. After making sure that they were not seeing things, they were so scared that their legs trembled and they collapsed to the ground. They looked at Wang Siruo who was smiling evilly with their eyes wide open in horror. Their throats seemed to be blocked by something and they couldn't utter a word.

"Have you seen the fate of those who betrayed me?"

The servants kept nodding their heads and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Each of you take one of these pills. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not touch you!"

Wang Siruo took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and motioned to Caixia to distribute the pills to everyone. Caixia stood up tremblingly, supporting herself with her legs, took the porcelain bottle from Wang Siruo, and put a pill in everyone's hand.

"There are still people who haven't swallowed it yet. What are you waiting for? Do you want to end up like Caiyun?"

Wang Siruo narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly to the servants. Sure enough, several servants who had hidden the pills under their tongues quickly swallowed the pills after hearing what he said.

"Don't try to be clever. I can sense whether you have taken this pill or not! Starting tomorrow, I will not care what method you use. You must bring me ten living creatures every day. Remember, no one else can find out."

"Yes, miss!"

"If the Marquis and the old lady ask about my daily life, do you know how to answer?"

"I know. The young lady has been copying scriptures in her room except for the time she spends eating and resting."

Hearing the servant's answer, Wang Siruo nodded with satisfaction, and went to bed with the help of the maids.

Early the next morning, Wang Siruo woke up at the crowing of a rooster.

"Please forgive me, young lady. I will have those chickens slaughtered right away!"

Caixia saw her master waking up with a frown on her face, and she was so scared that she fell to her knees.

"No, bring the chicken in!"

Wang Siruo stood up and sat on the bed and gave the order.

Seeing that the young lady did not lose her temper, Caixia quickly followed the order and brought ten chickens to Wang Siruo with several maids.

Wang Siruo stretched out his hand, and in a moment, only a pile of chicken bones were left on the ground. Even though they had seen this scene yesterday, Caixia and the others still felt horrified when they saw it again. They suppressed their inner fear, quickly picked up the bones on the ground and put them in the doghouse, where Caiyun's bones had not been eaten yet. Caixia and the others did not dare to look at it any longer. They took a quick glance, threw down the chicken bones, and quickly left the doghouse.

"We still have to find a way to get some people to practice. The energy of this chicken is too weak! Humph! Lin Xi, Cao Fangruo, you two just wait for me. In a few days, I will send you down to apologize to my mother!"
