167.Chapter 167

When the woman saw Ginkgo saying this, where did she dare to talk more, so she took Yuan Jinyu to the little maid's room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The yard of the miscellaneous servants is dusty, and the house where this little maid lives is also extremely dilapidated, which makes it difficult for Yuan Jinyu to imagine that there is still such a building in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Motioning for Ginkgo to open the door, the scene in the room was also very dark.

The furnishings of the room are very simple, there is not even a table, and the miscellaneous items are piled up in the corner. Yuan Jinyu walked in slowly, smelling that there seemed to be a strange smell in the room.

The room, which was already unobstructed, was extremely small because of a few more people. Yuan Jinyu raised his eyes, and he could see the scene on the bed, there was a person lying on it, the quilt was very clean, the little face was plain, and when he heard the voice, he slowly opened his eyes.

Although the little maid was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was thin and small, and her eyes were dark and bright at this time. She had never seen Yuan Jinyu, but looking at such a beautiful appearance, the little maid called out with some uncertainty: "Third Miss? ”

Yuan Jinyu was stunned, but she didn't expect her to recognize herself, so she smiled and walked to her bedside and asked, "It's me, what's your name?" ”

Although the little maid was thin, she was not timid when facing Yuan Jinyu, but because of Yuan Jinyu's suddenness, she forgot to say hello for a while.

"The slave's name is Lixiao." Li Xiao looked at Yuan Jinyu and replied, but instantly found that this was not in line with the etiquette, and immediately lowered her head.

"Well, how long have you been in Fuchu?" There were no chairs in the room, so Yuan Jinyu simply stood and smiled at Lixiao.

Li Xiao replied truthfully: "It's been almost two months." ”

The mother-in-law who had just led the way also followed, and found that Lixiao was still lying on the bed, so she scolded: "Why don't you ask for peace when you see the third lady!" Have you been taught all the rules lately? Dead girl, she really deserves to be punished! ”

When Lixiao heard this, she struggled to salute Yuan Jinyu, but Yuan Jinyu only frowned, then reached out and pressed Lixiao, smiled comfortingly, and then looked at the mother-in-law, and said sharply: "Miss Ben is not to blame, it is your turn to teach a lesson?" ”

The mother-in-law's cold sweat flowed down, she originally wanted to please the third lady, but who knew that she slapped the horse's leg!

"Third Miss Atonement!" This time, it was the woman who knelt on the ground.

Lixiao wanted to say something, but Yuan Jinyu gave her a look, told her not to speak, looked at the woman and asked, "Why do you want to punish her?" ”

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yuan Jinyu: "Because...... Because this girl is unruly...... Stealing the money......"

"I didn't!" Lixiao shouted, struggling to sit up: "I didn't steal the money!" ”

"You said she stole money, but is there any evidence?" Yuan Jinyu asked again, and his voice was unconsciously cold.

This miscellaneous yard is like this, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, especially Lixiao is still a newcomer who has just entered the house for less than two months, it would be strange if they didn't bully her.

The mother-in-law trembled: "Third Miss, during that time, Lixiao came into contact with that silver coin......"

Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but smile: "You said that she stole money, but there is no evidence yet, is it too unreasonable to take the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion into account for such lynching of her?" Is that what my mother taught you? ”

The mother-in-law complained bitterly in her heart, what kind of person did she provoke.

Li Xiao looked at Yuan Jinyu's back at this time, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, she never thought that the third lady would come to her house and stand out for her.

"Please forgive the third lady......" The mother-in-law kept kowtowing on the ground, and her voice was trembling.

"Miss Ben will limit you to find the person who really stole the money after three days, return Lixiao to an innocent person, and go to Mrs. herself to receive the punishment." As soon as Yuan Jinyu gave such an order, it meant that she believed in Lixiao.

In the previous life, Lixiao didn't know how she was rescued by the people in the second room, and since then she has been loyal to the second room. If she was just an ordinary little maid, the people in the second room transferred her to the business when they discovered her talent in business.

Lixiao's strength in business back then was known to everyone in the capital. And in the years when the second and third rooms were fighting for family property, she also played a very important role in it.

If there was no her, the second room would not last so long, and the third room would be pressed everywhere. However, the second room couldn't believe her, and after framing her, he directly let her out of the capital. After that, Yuan Jinyu is not very clear, but a year after Lixiao left Beijing, another businesswoman in Da Zhou became famous, and many people said that the person looked exactly the same as Lixiao, and I think it was Lixiao's comeback.

And what Yuan Jinyu values her most is her heart of gratitude and retribution. At that time, the second room framed her like that, but Lixiao did not retaliate at all later. Thinking that it was when she reached out to save her in the most difficult time, even if she was allowed to leave the house, it was just to bring her life back to the beginning, she did not complain, and she would not go to the trouble of finding the second room.

How could such a gifted and loyal woman let go so easily?

Yuan Jinyu was still thinking that he had been concerned about the war in the northwest for more than two months, and he had completely forgotten about this stubble, but fortunately, it was still too late at this time.

The mother-in-law received the order, where did she dare to stay here longer, kowtowed to Yuan Jinyu a few times, and then trotted away.

Yuan Jinyu looked at Lixiao, who was already stunned, and the smile on her lips became more and more kind. What to do, looking at Lixiao's clear eyes, she felt like she was abducting a child.

So she bent down slightly: "This time she will check, she will definitely return your innocence, you don't have to worry." ”

Lixiao was lying on the bed, her eyes were red: "Third Miss, why do you want to help the slave?" ”

"Hmm...... Maybe I think it's related to you. Yuan Jinyu smiled and handed the food box to Lixiao's hand: "This is the dim sum I brought over, you can eat a little." ”

Lixiao trembled and opened the food box, she just smelled the fragrance, she hadn't eaten for a few days, the injuries on her body were not good at all, and now she was almost hungry and fainted, I heard that it could be eaten, so I devoured it.

Ginkgo handed her a bowl of water: "Eat slowly, if it's not enough, Miss will prepare it for you again." ”

Yuan Jinyu watched her eat the pastries, and the speed was extremely fast, so one box, and half of the box was wiped out in a short time. Yuan Jinyu took the medicine that Hongye put there, and said to Lixiao: "It just so happens that Hongye has medicine on him, you can find a companion to help you wipe it, stay until the evening, I will find someone to take you to my yard, and you will be my maid in the future." ”

Lixiao was really moved to cry this time, holding the food box and medicine, I didn't know what to say, but the tears kept falling.

She was sold into the Prime Minister's Mansion by her father and mother in the family, there were too many children in the family, and she couldn't afford to support it, and when she was young, she secretly followed the gentleman in the village to learn words for a few years, and her father and mother said that the Prime Minister's Mansion recruited maids, as long as she was literate, since she was literate after several brothers and sisters, she was sold.

When she was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion it was still winter, and it snowed heavily that day, and her father and mother drove an ox cart to bring her from far away from the city.

She was wearing her best clothes at the time, but after she arrived in the capital, she found that the clothes of any random person on the street were better than her. She felt scared, but no matter how she begged, she didn't want to be bought into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her father and mother didn't agree.

And after the two of them took the money from the sale, they also told Lixiao that she would no longer be the child of those two people in the future.

Lixiao's crying face was chapped at that time, and the cold wind of that day even became a nightmare that she could not get rid of for the rest of her life.

When he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was supposed to change his name, but the person in charge said that his name was quite good, so he didn't change it. said that her name was still the one that her father and mother asked her master to help her, and thinking that her father and mother didn't want her anymore, Lixiao felt a pain in her heart again.

And the real ordeal is yet to come. How can she say that she is also a person who has read and read with Mr. Teach, and knows that there are many rules in large families, so she must be careful everywhere, where did she think that the people in this miscellaneous yard would bully her as a newcomer at all, and arrange for her to do any dirty work and tiredness, and if she does it a little slower, or if she is wrong, she will be beaten and scolded.

She didn't dare to fight back, because if she did and she was expelled from the house, she would have to live as a beggar. What makes her most angry is that even though she didn't make any mistakes, those people still make trouble for herself over and over again.

She should understand that people who live at the bottom, because there is no hope of climbing up in this life, will always vent that kind of resentment on people who are lower than their status.

Lixiao can always hear that they are gathered in groups of three or five, this one said that which maid in the lady's yard was dressed so demonic, she must have wanted to seduce Xiangye, and the maid in the eldest lady's yard were all high-spirited, and they were obviously so ugly...... But Lixiao knew that these people were just jealous.

I am jealous that the maids in the yard of the lady have the opportunity to contact the master, and I am jealous that the maids in the yard of the eldest lady have a high status and wear better clothes than them.

But what does all this have to do with yourself? She is just a rough maid in the yard of the miscellaneous servants, her father and mother sold her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has been a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion all her life, and she can't escape from this cage.

A few days ago, those people even intensified their accusations that she was stealing money, no matter how she explained, she didn't believe it, and finally beat her severely. The spring weather was already cold and hot, and such a beating finally made her not get out of bed.

Later, the people in the yard were afraid of causing trouble, so they stuffed her into this hut to recuperate, but they said that they were recuperating, but they didn't give her medicine, and even the meals were not a meal, how could her body be good?

So in the past few days of lying in bed, she thought back to the two months she had been in the house, and she really hated herself for being such a fate.

But what about her? Even so, she still struggled. So she made up her mind and told herself that if someone was willing to lend her a hand, she would be a cow and a horse for that person for the rest of her life.
