Chapter Twenty-Six: Ruthless Servants
Hearing the sound of movement coming from the house, Cai Qing, Green Water, Jade Cicada, Snow Goose and others standing outside poured into the house together. Seeing Mother Du, who has always been kind and kind, was full of anger at this time, her face was blue, and her fingers pointed at Mingyue who was kneeling on the ground, and she was trembling with anger.
They had never seen Du's mother angry and angry, and they were all stunned.
"Mother Du spares her life, spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid know that she is wrong. Mingyue kowtowed heavily while crying, "bang bang bang" again and again, knocked on the marble floor, and her forehead turned blue all of a sudden.
Cai Qing and the others felt pain when they saw it, and turned their heads to look at Gu Zhirong. Gu Zhirong's face turned pale, staring at Mingyue tightly, pursing his lips, and his whole body was trembling slightly, and he didn't know if he was angry.
"Miss......" Cai Qing called out pleadingly.
Just now, she was standing by the door, and she heard the words inside clearly, and she was so frightened that she even forgot to rush in to stop Mingyue. At this time, she was very remorseful in her heart, if she could react in time at that time and didn't let Mingyue say so many disrespectful words, maybe Mingyue wouldn't have ended up like this.
At the same time, she secretly felt strange, Mingyue has always been mature and steady, what is it today, how can she say so many of the following words?
Mother Du didn't speak with a blue face, Gu Zhirong didn't speak with a white face, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, Cai Qing and the others, you look at me, I look at you, rubbing your hands, I can't think of a way at all.
At this time, Xue Yan suddenly walked over, stretched out her hand to support Du's mother, and said softly: "Mother Du, don't be angry because of a cheap girl, mother's is indispensable in front of the old lady." If Mom gets angry in our yard and the old lady blames her, how can we take it? Mom will take her breath and sit down and have a cup of tea. ”
As he spoke, he helped Du's mother to sit down on the chair on the side, turned his head and said, "Cai Qing, go make a cup of mulberry almond tea, and put more rock sugar." ”
Cai Qing reacted at this time, hurriedly went to make tea, and held it to Du's mother with both hands.
Mother Du drank half a cup of tea, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't look at Mingyue, but only looked at Gu Zhirong with her eyes, and said coldly: "Sister Rong, the girl in your house should also take care of it." doesn't keep his duty, takes a bad lady, and instigates the contradictions in each room, it's not okay to go on like this. ”
Gu Zhirong's pretty face turned red, lowered his head, and responded in a low voice: "Yes, Rong'er write down, thank you for Mother Du's teachings." ”
Mingyue cried even more: "Please let Mother Du spare me, don't drive the slave and maid out of the house, the slave and maid are willing to go to the most bitter and tiring miscellaneous room, and beg Mother Du." She kowtowed so hard that her head was dripping blood.
Gu Zhirong stared at Mingyue, clutching the silk handkerchief in his hand tightly, only to feel a dull pain in his heart. This bright moon, how can it be ...... How can you make such a decision for yourself!
Mingyue raised her head, looked at Gu Zhirong without blinking, and said in a trembling voice: "Please Miss for the sake of the slave maid who has served the young lady with all her heart and soul for many years, and fulfill the slave maid." ”
She raised her head, her gaze was firm, her forehead was broken, and blood beads rolled down, but she had a different demeanor.
Gu Zhirong turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore: "Okay, you just go to the handyman room and never come back." ”
Mingyue trembled, turned around, and said to Gu Zhirong: "Miss, the slave and maid may never see the young lady when they leave, and they can no longer serve the young lady, take care of the young lady, and the slave and the maid will say goodbye." ”
After speaking, she kowtowed to Gu Zhirong three times.
Gu Zhirong only felt that his heart was broken, and waved his hand to let Cai Qing help Mingyue up.
At this time, Mother Du's face was a little pale, and she glanced at Mingyue coldly and said, "Your young lady is a bodhisattva, and for the sake of all these years of dedication, I have responded to your request." When you get there, remember your identity, don't do these outrageous things again, it's important to save your life. ”
Mingyue's face was full of remorse, she bowed her head and agreed, turned around and kowtowed to Du's mother to thank her, and then stepped out of the door with the help of Cai Qing.
When she crossed the threshold, Mingyue suddenly turned her head slightly, and smiled at Gu Zhirong when everyone was not paying attention.
Gu Zhirong frowned, looking at Mingyue with sad eyes: Mingyue, why is this so painful?
Seeing Mingyue's identity disappear outside the courtyard gate, Gu Zhirong turned around, looked ashamed, and saluted Du's mother: "Mother Du, it was Rong'er's lax discipline that caused such a thing to happen, and Du's mother was also affected." This matter is Rong'er's fault, Rong'er apologized to Du's mother, and hoped that Du's mother would never tell the old lady about it. ”
Mother Du saw that Gu Zhirong apologized to herself as a young lady, and most of the anger in her heart had disappeared, and she heard Gu Zhirong say this, thinking that she was an orphan girl, in a difficult situation in this house, and she had received the favor of the third lady, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Gu Zhirong, sighed and said: "Sister Rong, it's not that the old woman is too talkative, you are an orphan girl, fatherless and motherless, those subordinates will inevitably become arrogant, bully the master, or say something to instigate the master, if this continues, it will really lead people badly." Old woman, I also know that it is not easy for you, this large group of people is not easy to discipline, but there are many people in this house, and if you accidentally have ears on the wall, you will be listened to by people with hearts, and even if the old woman and my mouth are tight, it will be difficult to ensure that the old lady does not know. Therefore, sometimes you should be ruthless when you should be ruthless, and the people in this courtyard must really be strictly disciplined, so as not to cause a big disaster. ”
"Mother Du taught her a very good lesson, but Rong'er was too negligent. Gu Zhirong said bitterly, "In the future, Rong'er will definitely discipline them strictly, and she will never do anything that insults the Gu Mansion again." ”
Mother Du nodded with satisfaction.
Gu Zhirong thought for a while, and then said: "Now that Mingyue has been kicked out, there is one less first-class girl in my yard, I don't know if Mother Du can choose someone who understands the rules for me, so that she can set an example and discipline the girl in this yard for me?"
Mother Du thought for a while, and then said: "I will naturally talk to the old lady about Mingyue, you bring up a second-class girl, and I will ask the old lady to find an honest girl in the house and give it to you in the house." ”
When it comes to this, everyone understands people, and they know it very well in their hearts. Gu Zhirong's mother asked the old lady for a second-class girl, but she didn't want the eldest lady to stuff people in. And Du's mother responded to this matter and fulfilled the old lady's wish. After all, for the matter of the third room, the old lady does not want the big room to interfere too much.
Both sides understood each other's minds and smiled at each other. Gu Zhirong got up to thank him, and Mother Du drank another cup of mulberry chrysanthemum almond tea, and then got up and went back.
After Du's mother left, Gu Zhirong sat down by the windowsill, looked up and suddenly saw that Cai Qing had dismissed the others, standing aside and wanting to speak, so she said gently: "Cai Qing, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Cai Qing bit her lip and said nervously: "Miss, the slave is worried, I don't know what kind of person Mother Du sent over this time." ”
Gu Zhirong shook his head, saying that he didn't know either. I sighed in my heart, since I came through five years ago, I have rehearsed my worst plan, and I have also made some small plans, but after all, I am too young, even if I want to do something, I have to take my time, for fear of frightening the people around me. Now I realize that five years is really not enough. I hope that tomorrow will be the person I want.
