Duyun saw Ah Zhen being scolded, and he couldn't bear it, so he walked out and said, "Amitabha, why did the female benefactor make such a big deal and show no mercy?"

The proprietress originally saw that it was Duyun, and she knew that he was kind and soft-faced, so she was slightly relieved, but when she saw Chen Suqing behind her, her face was not very good, so she smiled and said: "Miss Chen, this girl said that the clothes on her body were given by you, and I don't know if it's not." “

Seeing her change the topic, Chen Suqing also continued with her: "Yes, I saw that she was wearing such a dress on a cold day, so I took a few old clothes for her. “

The proprietress smiled: "You also feel sorry for her, she is young, she has to do things every day, where will it be cold, this good clothes are blind for her." “

Chen Suqing listened to Mei Yichen's words and didn't want to clash head-on with the proprietress, but at this time, when she heard her say these crooked reasons, the anger in her heart came up again, and she said coldly: "Since you allowed her to serve me for two days, what I wear for her is also my business, she dresses a little better, and it is also my decency, why are you scolding her for this?"

When the proprietress heard Chen Suqing say this, her face was a little unbearable, but she smiled again in a flash: "You give it to her, naturally it is your kindness, but she is still my maid after all, you look at her, she comes to do things like this, and when she turns around, she stains her clothes again, which also ruins your dignity." It's not that I want to scold this girl, it's just that she doesn't know how to do things, but if you don't have to worry about it, can I use so much effort?"

Speaking of this, she glanced at Mei Yichen again and said with a smile: "Did you say, Mei Gongzi?"

Mei Yichen was listening to the two of them talking and was still asking questions, but suddenly heard the boss lady ask him, so he came back to his senses and smiled: "This.... Child...... Take your time. “

When the proprietress heard this, she also smiled at him, and said softly: "I'm in a hurry, I will definitely listen to Mei Gongzi in the future and talk to her well." “

Chen Suqing knew that the proprietress's words were for Mei Yichen, and she deliberately made a tone of voice, and she was bored unspeakably, but Mei Yichen's words meant to help the proprietress, so she turned around and glared at him.

Mei Yichen saw her face, a little weak-hearted, and the boss's tone was really ambiguous, she didn't want Ah Fu and Duyun to misunderstand, so she didn't talk anymore, and only let them talk.

Chen Suqing was a little confused by what the proprietress said, and she couldn't say too much to her face, so she could only endure and say, "This is the best." “

The proprietress saw that Chen Suqing did not make trouble, so she naturally did not chase after her, and passed happily. Chen Suqing looked at Ah Zhen again and said, "You can come to my room in a while." “

Chen Suqing returned to the room and said to Duyun: "Zen Master, you have also seen Ah Zhen's situation, she is even more scarred, which makes me feel distressed, is there any way you can help her?"

Du Yun lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said, "Maybe ask her, why she came here to be a slave and was willing to suffer such humiliation......"

Chen Suqing sighed and said: "Most of the girls like this were sold into slavery by their families because their livelihoods were difficult, and they were beaten and scolded by their free masters." “

Du Yun didn't respond, but said in a low voice: "If that's the case, then persuade the boss lady, there is no deep hatred, it's just some small sections, it doesn't have to be like this, right?"

Chen Suqing's heart was not as optimistic as he thought, so he said: "Then the boss lady has one thing in front of her face, one thing behind her back, and she is false and wronged, can she change it?"

Mei Yichen sighed, and said helplessly: "If it doesn't work, just redeem her." ”

Chen Suqing nodded and said, "But I just asked the girl, there seems to be no one in her family, she is alone, how can she live?"

Du Yun said: "Maybe it's just a short period of money, maybe there is no work, it really can't be done to the boss's wife, it's better to redeem yourself than to suffer here." ”

Chen Suqing couldn't figure out why Du Yun said this, Ah Zhen was cowardly and timid at first glance, and the world was like this, how could she survive as a little girl who had lost her relatives and few relatives? When she was about to ask Du Yun, she heard a knock on the door, Mei Yichen was leaning against the wall, and when she heard the sound, she opened the door.

Ah Zhen came in with a pot of tea, poured tea for everyone one by one, and asked Chen Suqing, "Do you have any instructions for the girl to call me?"

Chen Suqing shook her head and said, "It's okay, did she beat you just now?"

Ah Zhen shook her head, pinched the corner of her clothes with her hand, and said, "No." ”

Chen Suqing took Ah Zhen's hand, and when she saw that it was red from the cold, she said, "It's good if you don't have it....." said and rubbed her hands again, and said with a smile: "It's cold, right?"

Ah Zhen shook her head, lowered her head again, hung her head and did not speak.

Duyun looked at her for a moment and said, "You came here like this?"

Ah Zhen timidly glanced up at Duyun, and paused before saying: "After my father died, there was no money to bury him, it was the boss's wife's money, so I sold my body to the boss's wife, and she took the silver to bury my father for me." ”

Chen Suqing didn't know that she still had this story, and wanted to ask the rest of her family, but she thought that she should be gone, otherwise she wouldn't have been asked to sell her body to bury her father.

When Ah Zhen said this, she lowered her head and smiled: "Actually, the proprietress is very good, and she provides me with food and clothing." ”

Chen Suqing shook her hand tightly and said, "Even so, you have done something for her, why do you still let her beat and scold?"

Ah Zhen lowered her head, with a cramped look on her face, and said, "It's okay, girl, I can stand the beating and scolding." ”

Chen Suqing sighed in her heart, and said, "You rest, don't be busy." ”

Ah Zhen nodded, and said, "Then I'll bring you the food." ”

Chen Suqing looked outside, he was busy for a long time, and it was almost dark, so he said, "Okay, you can eat with us too." Ah Zhen squirmed, and she didn't know whether she should or not.

When Mei Yichen heard this, he smiled and said, "Then I'll eat with you today." ”

Chen Suqing knew that he wanted to eat with Ah Fu, so he smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's go down to the hall to eat together, there is no one else in this store, and then call the money shopkeeper." ”

Everyone agreed, and they went downstairs together, through the backyard, to the front lobby. When I walked to the courtyard, I met the proprietress head-on, holding a tea cup in her hand, and when I saw them from a distance, I smiled and said to Mei Yichen: "Mei Gongzi, I was about to send you tea." ”

She was full of smiles on her face, and she didn't pay attention to her feet for a while, but she happened to step on the place where she had just kicked over the water, and she was slipped, and she saw that the tea cup in her hand was about to fall to the ground.

At this moment, Ah Zhen's eyes were sharp, and with a slight touch of her feet, a swallow picked up water, and flew forward, catching the tea cup with her left hand and holding the proprietress with her right hand.

Not a drop of water was spilled in the teacup.
