11. Chapter 11
Chonglan rubbed her eyes, hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "It should be me who meets the adults, you wait, I'll come to you to say hello after I wash." As she spoke, she went to retrieve her jacket resting on the stool.
Yan He's gaze fell on her reddened hand, frowned slightly, and his face sank inadvertently: "What's wrong with your hand?" How do the people at the bottom serve? โ
Chonglan looked unproductive, and retracted her hand back into the quilt: "No, it's nothing." โ
Steward Ning saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help but speak: "What about the few maids I sent to serve Miss?" Didn't they come for the night, why didn't they even see a single figure? After he finished speaking, he looked at Chonglan suspiciously, could it be that he couldn't bear this Miss He's temperament, and he didn't dare to stay in the house?
Chonglan blinked: "Sister Cuiwei said that she was not well, and the other two were too young, so I didn't keep them for the night." โ
Steward Ning was stunned, feeling that this matter was a little strange, so he hurriedly called two maids to serve her to wash, Yan He had already looked at the house on all sides, and said in a rambling voice: "The master is not good, it must be that the people below are not well served." He dusted off the water beads on the big gun, "You change your clothes first, I'll wait for you outside for breakfast, and I have something to ask you." โ
After he finished speaking, he was about to go out, but Cuiwei walked over from the aisle by coincidence, as if she didn't see him, and almost bumped into him, and only when she got close did she cover her red lips and salute in panic: "Master." โ
Yan He didn't even give her a look, bypassed her and walked directly. Steward Ning thought of the kind words he had just said for her, and suddenly felt a little swept away, and reprimanded: "Miss has already gotten up, why are you so late?!" โ
Cui Wei was stunned,
She wasn't very worried about coming late, anyway, He Lanlan's reputation for being brutal and violent had already spread, and no one else would believe what she said, so Steward Ning's face eased when she heard this, and he only ordered her to go in and serve.
Chonglan looked her up and down a few times, and saw that she had pulled her hair in a soft bun, and the moon white jacket was paired with a plain white skirt, not very deliberately, but it seemed that the whole person was outstanding and eye-catching, and she was really prepared.
She pursed her lips secretly, and was quickly served to finish washing, and when she passed by the wooden door, she was hooked by the deadbolt, and the brand-new jacket outside was loosened, revealing a few drops of oil-stained collar of the middle coat, and she shrank down next to Yan He, and lost her spirit after not seeing her for a few days.
In the main hall of the big ship, there are rhombic wooden windows on all sides, and the sun is shining brightly, the redness and swelling on her hands are more obvious, Yan He's eyes are fixed on her hands, and there is a haze in his eyes: "Why is it cold like this?" โ
Chonglan looked down at his hand: "I don't know, it's been cold for some reason these past few nights, and I've been frozen until midnight." Fortunately, Sister Cuiwei has a good heart and brings hot water to wash me every morning, which can warm up. โ
Steward Ning was stunned for a moment, and then said unhappily: "What are you doing here?" Don't you know that one cold and one hot are most prone to chilblains? After he finished speaking, he said suspiciously: "I have allocated enough charcoal for Miss He's share, how can I sleep until I am frozen in the middle of the night?" He hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Go and get good lanolin to wipe the hands of Miss He." โ
Cuiwei took advantage of this time to argue: "My sister remembered it wrong, the slave maid only took the warm water mixed with it every day, and the charcoal fire was also used by her, how could she be woken up by freezing?" She burst into tears: "Sister, I've done my best to take care of you these days, although I don't get into your eyes, but you can't wronged me like this." โ
Chonglan saw her tears, sneered in her heart, shrunk to Yan He as if frightened, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "I remember wrong, I remember wrong, it's warm water, I didn't wake up from freezing, Sister Cuiwei is very good to me, and she is very attentive and thoughtful." โ
Cuiwei didn't look at it, sighed and smiled at Steward Ning: "The little girl's family will be like this for a while, and there will be no fixed number." At this time, the sheep fat was delivered, and in order to show her loyalty, she took it and said, "I don't know how my sister's hands and feet got it, and the slave and maid helped my sister wipe it." โ
Chonglan was frightened, shrunk back, looking like she was crying without crying, and turned around and hid behind Yan He: "Sister Cuiwei, I said something wrong, don't beat me"
Cui Wei was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Sister must speak according to her conscience, when will I beat my sister?" Although she secretly used a lot of yin damage tricks, she really didn't dare to do it openly.
Chonglan panicked: "No, no, I remembered wrong, you didn't beat me." โ
Steward Ning felt more and more wrong, he originally thought that he was making it difficult for the master, but now it seems to be the opposite? His face sank, and he asked Cui Wei, "What the hell is going on?!" โ
Cuiwei was shocked to find that the depiction was getting darker and darker, and she knelt down and cried to Yan He: "Master Mingjian, my sister is the master, even if I dare to commit it even if I have the courage to give the slave and maid, I really don't know." She said to Chonglan with a heartbroken face: "The slave asked herself if she did her best to her sister, got up early to serve, and went to bed late to serve, why did my sister look down on me like this, and just say that I am next to me, if you want to say that I am a bully, I dare not admit it!" โ
Steward Ning was suspicious and frightened, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, found the people below, and asked about this matter in detail.
Yan He didn't look at her, seeing Chonglan shrinking straight into his arms, he put one hand on her shoulder, feeling that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight these days, and she could feel a handful of bones in her thin shoulders, he raised his eyes and looked at Steward Ning, who immediately brought another bottle of lanolin up, he took her hand and sighed gently. Poured it on her hand and rubbed it carefully.
He looked down at Chonglan scribbled, and asked her casually, "You tell the truth, is she still dedicated to serving you?" โ
Chonglan was just about to open her mouth, Cuiwei took the first step to open her mouth, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her bruised wrists, biting her lower lip and saying to Yan He: "My sister has always had a bad temper, this"
Chonglan glanced at her, lowered her head and said, "I don't know what it means to serve well, Sister Cuiwei said that I am a mourning star, what does a mourning star mean?" โ
Cui Wei was stunned, and Rong Chang'er's face was distorted a little fiercely: "Sister must speak according to her conscience, when did I say this about my sister!" When did I say such a thing! Although she sneered at Chonglan a few times, she didn't let others hear it, and Lai also fell off at this time.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yan He with a sigh of relief: "Master Mingjian, the slave and maid have inquired about the instructions from above, and there is no one who dares not to be unsatisfied, and the slave and maid are also incompetent, and they really can't please the young lady." โ
Yan He's gaze finally fell on her leisurely, her heart was beating wildly, did the master know that she was wronged? She was longing for it, when she heard him say unhurriedly: "Drag out the palm of the mouth, and slap it until she can no longer speak." He took the towel and cleaned his hand: "When she speaks, how can you interject." โ
Cuiwei looked up in disbelief, her delicate eyes widened, and she screamed, "Master"
Yan He's eyebrows were tightened, and he didn't seem to feel the need to talk to her, but after looking at Poor Baba Chonglan, he paused slightly, and said: "No matter how well she serves, as long as she can't get into your eyes, it will be her dereliction of duty, not to mention that she has not fulfilled her duties." โ
Cuiwei hurriedly distinguished: "I do my best for my sister"
Yan He ignored her, frowned at Chonglan's red and swollen hands and scribbled underwear, and said lightly: "If the palm is to punish her for โกโก at will, I didn't take you in my eyes, and I sold it on the spot, so that others could see the fate of Diao slave bullying the master." โ
Cuiwei was shocked and her face turned pale, this sale is not an ordinary sale, the next person who made a mistake will only sell it to the bitter cold land, if it falls into the hands of a foreign race, that day is called life is better than death, she is really afraid this time, and kowtows to Yan He desperately: "The master spares his life, spares his life!" The slave doesn't dare anymore! โ
She thought that she would at least have a chance to distinguish, but how could she have thought that Yan He was so biased, a little girl with a foreign surname, where could she be worthy of being called the master?!
Seeing Yan He's indifferent expression, she turned to Chonglan and kowtowed, crying anxiously: "Ask my sister to help the slave and maid say something, the slave and maid have served the sister for so many days, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, so my sister will spare the slave and maid!" โ
Chonglan lowered her eyes and didn't look at her, fortunately it was her in this body, if it was really He Lanlan, I was afraid that she would have been trampled to death by Cuiwei.
Cui Wei walked a few steps on her knees and wanted to pull her clothes, but was dragged down by someone, and howled miserably with her head, and when she saw that she couldn't intercede, she cursed fiercely like a madman.
Chonglan was about to raise his head, but Yan He covered his ears: "My ears don't listen to foul words." He glanced over, and the two attendants slammed it hard, and immediately her mouth was bloody, and she could no longer make a sound, and he did not let go until he could not hear the sound at all.
At this time, Steward Ning walked up with an embarrassed face, knelt down and pleaded guilty to Yan He: "The slave has already inquired clearly, this Cuiwei slave bullying the master, it is really hateful" Yan He lightly buckled the table, and Steward Ning hurriedly said: "Of course, there are also slaves, you shouldn't listen to what Cuiwei said, and be negligent to Miss He." The servant is willing to demote himself to the rank of deputy steward, and is fined for one year, and hopes that the lord will be forgiven. โ
The punishment is just repaid, but the demotion of the chief steward is a very heavy punishment, but who made him listen to the slander of Cuiwei's villain, he hasn't taken much care of He Lanlan in the past few days, and it is too late to regret it at this time, so it's better to ask for guilt as soon as possible.
Yan He sighed, Steward Ning knew that this was the permission, he didn't dare to make his own assertions this time, and asked, "According to the adult, how should the young lady be placed?" โ
He looked down at Chonglan, and found that she also raised her eyes to look at him, raised the corners of her lips, and raised the tips of her eyes slightly: "It's just that the business at hand is done, let her move to my boat, and I will take care of it myself." โ
