Chapter 24: Death by the Rod
has a noble status, is beautiful, and is so well-behaved and sensible, such a junior, there is simply no elder who will not like it.
Everyone looked at Tao Yao's appearance, and they couldn't wait for this to be their granddaughter.
The old lady's eyes scratched and scratched on Zhou's body.
Because there are many people at this time, the old lady can't afford to lose this face, and Tao Yao doesn't seem to mind this, so she didn't have a seizure.
It's just that in this way, the old lady's heart is even more distressed.
Obviously, such a good-looking girl's family didn't dress up all day long, causing the pearl to be dusty, which also made the old lady too depressed.
When Zhou was angry with Ruan Jingui, a guy who was interested in seeing things, Tao Yao directly gave her a pillow and asked the old lady directly: "Su Rili is all granddaughters who go to grandmother to ask for peace, but I didn't expect that today's labor grandmother came to visit me, and even brought the elders to work, but it is really Tao Yao's, Tao Yao is very panicked in his heart." ”
Tao Yao's appearance of bowing her head made the old lady feel a little more distressed, and she stretched out her hand and took Tao Yao into her arms, and said in a stacked voice: "What a pitiful one." You don't need to be anxious, if your grandmother doesn't come today, I'm afraid that she will misunderstand you for a long time. But there are some people who should be panicking. ”
Tao Yao blinked with tears in his eyes, looking like he didn't know why.
Qiu Ju over there saw that the situation was wrong, and when she was about to apply oil to the soles of her feet, she heard the old lady scolding in a deep voice: "Qiu Ju,, don't get over quickly." ”
Qiu Ju was cold, crawled to Tao Yao's feet, and kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy: "Miss forgive me, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore, ask the young lady for forgiveness." ”
That's like Tao Yao, who is a fierce and vicious master, beating and scolding his subordinates at every turn.
Zhou silently cheered for Qiu Ju in his heart, only felt that Qiu Ju's acting skills were good, and he knew that he would put himself in the position of a victim in the same way.
But what Zhou didn't expect was that Tao Yao took a few steps back in a panic, and said to Qiu Ju with an innocent face: "You ...... Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Qiu Ju, you quickly return my Qiu Ju to me. It was given to me by Sister Wanwan, and it represents the friendship between our sisters. ”
Before Qiu Ju could react, Tao Yao screamed and pointed to the hairpin on Qiu Ju's head and said loudly: "Where did you get my Qiu Ju." How could her hairpin be on your head. ”
At this moment, everyone's attention was on Qiu Ju's hairpin.
Tao Yao covered his mouth in fear, as if he had said the wrong thing, turned around and knelt down in front of the old lady.
The old lady glanced at Qiu Ju, helped Tao Yao up with a very unkind face, and said in a deep voice: "You kid, you are also very polite." It's just a subordinate with unclean hands and feet, and it's just a matter of disposing of it at will. Why bother kneeling around like this?"
Qiu Ju's face changed instantly, and she quickly took off the beads on her head, earrings, and the agate rings and bracelets on her hands, and put them in front of Tao Yao: "The old lady forgives the sins, the young lady forgives the sins, the slave maid is not greedy, but the young lady's jewelry is placed over there, and it is also put in vain, the slave maid ...... Borrowed ......"
Qingfeng, who was waiting on the side, couldn't hold back any longer, knelt down directly, interrupted Qiu Ju's words, and said loudly: "Back to the old lady, it's not like this. Our Miss Ai didn't put it over there for nothing. It's just that for some reason, I don't wear it to go out to meet people. But I often dress up in my room. Otherwise, you see a young lady who will pile up those unused jewelry on the dresser and not put it in the warehouse. ”
Mingyue also knelt down: "Besides, even if the young lady doesn't use it, that's not a reason to be a slave and maid to move the young lady's things at will." On weekdays, Miss always says that you are a slave sent by the eldest lady, and because our young lady cares about sisterhood, you are always a little more noble than us. The young lady is not easy to talk about you, so as not to hurt the face of the eldest lady. But today you ...... You've got to ...... an inch."
Mingyue kowtowed to the old lady as she spoke, stalking her neck, looking like she was not afraid of death: "Actually, you don't need to ask, the slave also knows what the old lady came here for today." The slave maid might as well say it directly here, the scars on Qiu Ju's cheap hoof's face were indeed hit by me. She should fight! With the favor of the eldest lady, it is okay to be domineering in our young lady's room, and now she even arranges our young lady to say those pickled words to insult the reputation of our young lady. I didn't kill her, I was thinking of our young lady's compassion. ”
The people around were silent for a while, and when they looked at Tao Yao, who had red circles in his eyes, they felt that this girl was so good that she was bullied like this by a slave.
The old lady also looked like she hated iron but not steel: "You said that you, the daughter of the dignified palace, were bullied by a slave." Spread this out, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
Tao Yao said to the old lady in a panic: "I know that my grandmother is distressed, but I can ask my grandmother, this matter, out of the palace, everyone seems to don't know." This Qiu Ju, in the end, is following Sister Wanwan's side when she is a child, and this is spread out, which will inevitably make people talk about her sister, this is for the sake of her sister's reputation. ”
Tao Yao behaved more sensibly and sensibly, and the old lady felt more and more sorry for Tao Yao, and sighed busily and whispered: "You kid, this is going to suffer." ”
Tao Yao leaned on the old lady's shoulder, her eyes were full of admiration, and she whispered: "If you are protected by your grandmother, you can't suffer a loss." However, thanks to my grandmother's reminder, Qiu Ju is a girl, although I can't bear to hurt my sister's heart to punish her. It's just that she said something like that today, and she definitely can't keep her. How she came to be, now let her go back. I also asked my grandmother to answer. ”
Zhou was afraid that if she continued to make trouble, she would make some things she didn't want to see, and when she heard Tao Yao's request, Zhou nodded and agreed without any hesitation, and even said loudly to Tao Yao: "Good girl, don't worry, this matter, the third aunt must make you satisfied." ”
Tao Yao thanked Zhou with a smile and winked: "Thank you, third aunt, when you don't know what this girl said, you are willing to make decisions for the young girl." ”
These words not only made Zhou's body cold, but even Mama Deng, who was standing beside Zhou, felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Tao Yao said to Zhou with a bewildering smile on his face: "This girl said, I don't want to accept the emperor's marriage to King Gui, and I eloped with a wild man who doesn't know where I came from." Third aunt, you say, should such a girl be beaten to death?"
Tao Yao's face is really too confusing.
Laughing and saying the most cruel words like this, in the eyes of those old people, it was also a forced smile.
The old lady Geng was furious: "This is worth it, the girl who is Bingqing and Yujie in my northwest palace has been slandered like this, and she deserves to be killed." Don't worry, you don't have to go through your third aunt and grandmother to make decisions for you. Come on, drag this down and kill her with a rod!"
Zhou looked at Qiu Ju's frightened eyes, and his heart was also extremely frightened.
Mama Deng beside her was even more frightened, and hurriedly rushed up and stuffed the handkerchief in her hand into Qiu Ju's mouth to prevent Qiu Ju from biting her and helping to drag people down.
Tao Yao looked at Zhou, who was in a little cold sweat on his forehead, and said with concern: "Is the third aunt uncomfortable? Why is her face so ugly?"
