10. Chapter 10
To say that this wicked person does not necessarily have a wicked face, such as this Cuiwei, a thin and long face, respectful and polite to Chonglan, who would have thought of disobeying the yang and yin behind his back.
She tilted her head, and instead of accusing her, she asked, "Has my sister eaten?" β
Cuiwei was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "If Miss Hui, the slave is useless." "Even if she has used it, she can't say it directly, how can she first follow the subordinates to eat enough and then take care of the master.
Chonglan coldly snorted at the leftovers on the tray: "I'm not too hungry now, Cuiwei will eat for me first." She held her chin with both hands and smiled sweetly at her: "After eating, my sister will run to the kitchen again, I'm afraid I'll be hungry again after a while." β
Cui Wei twisted her body uncomfortably: "I'm afraid this is not good, the slave doesn't dare to touch your food, besides, now the kitchen is afraid that there is no food prepared." β
Chonglan naturally had a portion of food and snacks, but it was divided between her and a few mothers-in-law in the kitchen. Of course she is not a little bit of a thing, but she feels unfair, how can she say that she is also an old man in the house, all the way from the south to follow, in terms of qualifications can be a first-class maid, if the adults take a fancy to it, maybe there is a better way out, I didn't expect to be sent to serve a foster girl halfway, what is the future in the future?
Chonglan affectionately pushed the tray forward: "Sister, don't shirk it, I have to work for you tonight, eat more at night to have the strength to work." β
Cui Wei was taken aback: "What?!" She realized that she had lost her square inch, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid has not been up at night, I'm afraid I can't take care of Miss well." β
The most important thing is that she didn't even put a stove in Chonglan's house, and she didn't bother to change the bedding to dry, so it was better for her to live as a subordinate place! Wouldn't it cost her half her life to let her lay the floor here and spend the night?
Chonglan bowed her head shyly: "Laneige and Guishu are still young, I think Cuiwei is older, so I will take care of it more." β
Cuiwei's face stiffened, and she said: "The slave maid was injured a few years ago, and her waist and legs are not good, but now the weather is cold, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this errand at night." β
Chonglan sighed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded: "The weather is cold and nothing, just have a few more stoves, the clothes and bedding are thicker, and then clean the house well to warm up, do you say?" β
Cuiwei naturally understood what she meant, her eyelids drooped, and she said with a smile: "It's the slave maid who was negligent, but before getting on the boat, the adult side lacked manpower, and the steward felt that others were inappropriate, so he called the slave maid to help, and the slave maid delayed helping the young lady clean up the house, which is really a sin." β
This is to tell SΓΉ Chonglan how useful she is in the house, and the second is to remind her that she is just a foster care, and of course it is impossible to cross the main family.
Chonglan originally wanted to mention her euphemistically, but she didn't expect to be robbed by her, tilting her head and asking: "It turns out that it was the adult who ordered my sister to help, it seems that the adult really relies on you, why don't I go and talk to the steward, let you go to serve the adult, I don't need to change the adult here." β
Cuiwei's face tightened: "Adults naturally won't order such trivial things, we should be more blind as slaves, seeing that there is a lack of manpower to work tightly." β
Chonglan sighed: "Since my sister is so eye-catching, why can't she see that there is a shortage of manpower here?" She saw Cuiwei's face was not angry, so she simply got up and said: "Since my sister is in the eyes of adults like this, I am young and ignorant, so I shouldn't have said my sister, so I should ask the steward." β
There are so many people in the house, Yan He is ordinary and doesn't like to let people get close, but I'm afraid that she doesn't even know who she is, and the steward is taboo to climb up by unscrupulous means, her face is stiff, and she scolded this dead girl in her heart for being too clever, she bit her lower lip: "Miss is right, it's all slaves, slaves and maids are not right, slaves and maids want to leave for a while." I'll help the young lady clean up the house. β
She didn't dare to talk back, first went to the kitchen to bring food for Chonglan to eat first, and then changed to a brand-new mattress, brought the stove to make a fire, tired and half dead before she was finished, Cuiwei scolded in her heart while working, and it was easy to wait until she was done, and she heard Chonglan gently float a sentence: "Sister is so hard, don't go back in the dark light, let's go here for the night by the way." "There is no way to punish other people's subordinates, but a small lesson is also good.
Chonglan sighed silently in her heart, in the end, everything was not going well under the fence, if her own maid had already been sent away, she made hot water herself, and threw herself on the bed after washing, while thinking about how to send Cuiwei away in a daze.
Cuiwei's thoughts she can guess a little, first, she feels that she has no future with her, and it also blocks her prosperous and wealthy road, and second, she sees that she has no relatives and no reason, and she is fostered to the Yan family, even if she is wronged, no one cares about it, and she is too lazy to serve wholeheartedly.
Cuiwei couldn't wait to drop the futon and leave, but she was the master on the bright side, so she could only endure it for the time being, and slept all night with a sore back, and did not go back to the house directly after coming out, but rubbed a few grains of ash into her eyes ruthlessly, pinched a few bruises on her wrists, and cried to find a steward.
After listening to Cuiwei's crying, the steward Ning looked at the injury on her wrist again, and said unhappily: "This Miss He is too much, in the end, it is from the countryside, it's just that it is the person adopted by the adult, you can wait for it first, and wait for me to report to the adult in a few days." β
The corners of Cuiwei's lips lifted, but she said respectfully and aggrievedly: "It's nothing for me to be wronged, it's just that Miss He complains that the adults treat her badly when something is wrong, and she often talks about the merits of Deputy General He, and the slave is afraid of ruining the reputation of the adult, so she argues a few words, and the young lady throws something at me, and I don't dare to hide, so I can only"
Steward Ning frowned: "I heard that Miss He was domineering when I went to He Mansion to give gifts, but I didn't expect it" He shook his head: "That's it, I'll talk about it in a few days, you can go back first." β
Cui Wei obediently answered, bowed and withdrew. She has long been familiar with Hefu, and she doesn't have to do anything, as long as she puts on a deputy grievance when she serves He Lanlan, and when others ask her, she will say a few words, and everyone next to her will know that this Miss Hefu is a domineering and violent master, although she doesn't say anything on the surface, but it is inevitable to gossip behind her back.
Although Chonglan didn't go out of the house much, she also noticed something, Cuiwei's face kung fu was good, and she only used some yin damage methods in secret, although she didn't prepare clothes, but the clothes on her face were definitely brand new, and the stove and charcoal were also there, but they didn't burn in the middle of the night, and her hands and feet were swollen from freezing in a few days.
She left Cuiwei to ask, and she still had a hearty voice: "I know that Miss is expensive, but our good charcoal is used first by the master's family, and the adults use charcoal to pay for it, and there is no way for slaves and maids, Miss, this is not bad, our slaves and maids' hands are about to freeze and rot, don't you also boil it?" β
These words were clearly expressing feelings, but it was difficult to hide the malice in them, she saw that Chonglan was silent, and she thought that she was afraid of herself, and became more and more proud.
Chonglan didn't bother to say more, just waited until Yan He was busy with the business at hand, and finally made time to look at her, and Steward Ning accompanied him while considering the words and sentences to report to him: "It's probably because the villain doesn't take care of it well, Miss He seems to have a lot of complaints about our house and adults." β
He consciously said it very tactfully, according to Cuiwei's words, He Lanlan was not only a small word, she was simply vicious, and she often talked about her father's loyalty, even if a child is not sensible.
Yan He's face was not happy, but he sighed, and suddenly thought of something, and raised the corners of his lips with interest. This time, there were a lot of people who went south, and he and Chonglan didn't live in one and put them on, but put on a sampan with a straight hem, and then they entered the boat where she lived.
When I entered the inner room, I saw Chonglan wrapped in a quilt and curled up on the bed, the charcoal fire in the stove was only a little bit left, and it was colder than outside, she was curled up in a ball on the bed, looking very pitiful.
Chonglan heard the noise, slowly got out of the bed, inadvertently revealed his hand that was red and swollen from the cold, and waved at him: "My lord came here so early." β
