Chapter 51: Punishment and Betrayal
Pang Luoxue was taken back to the side hall of the ancestral hall, this ancestral hall is not inhabited all the year round, it enshrines the ancestors of the Pang family, except for the lively time when entering the incense, usually only the old lady of the Pang family will come here. Although the ancestral hall is cleaned, there is always an eerie feeling due to the lack of popularity.
Pang Luoyu was helped to the bed in the side hall, and the second lady hurriedly took someone over quietly, and without saying a word, she ordered someone to cook a sobering decoction.
The second lady was also afraid of being discovered by Pang Guogong, so she took Xiaocui a maid, and now Xiaocui was ordered to cook sobering soup
The second lady sat on the edge of the bed and watched Pang Luoyu blush from drinking, and lovingly stretched out her hand to touch Pang Luoyu's face, and personally tucked the quilt for her. Looking at her daughter lying on the bed, the second lady felt that there was something strange about today's events, but she couldn't help but figure it out for a while.
Pang Luoyu on the bed turned over, and the strength of the wine made her feel that her stomach was burning, and suddenly Pang Luoyu half-closed her eyes, sat up and vomited.
The second lady patted her on the back distressedly.
"Vomit ......"
"Yu'er, why do you drink so much wine, but you have to worry about your mother's death."
The only thing that responded to her was Pang Luoyu's vomiting.
The second aunt patted Pang Luoyu while covering her nose with a handkerchief, and waited for Pang Luoyu to vomit before helping her lie down.
As soon as Pang Luoyu was done, he helped her lie down, frowning at the puddle of vomit on the ground. This Xiaocui asked her to cook a decanting soup so slowly, what else could she do.
As soon as the second aunt finished thinking about it, Xiaocui pushed the door in, it was not that she was slow, but this ancestral hall was in the deepest part of the Pang Mansion, and it would take a while to come over. I have to carry people on my back, so I can't be discovered. Xiaocui looked at the dark face of the second aunt, and secretly said in her heart that it was not good.
Sure enough, the second aunt was displeased and said, "Why is it so slow, don't you feel uncomfortable looking at the eldest lady, and the movements are not sharp, but can people see it?" ”
"Second lady rest assured, the slaves and maids are all carrying people on their backs, and they are walking on the path that no one usually walks, and the lady is relieved that the slaves and maids are paying attention, and no one will find out"
The second lady nodded, "Come and help me help the eldest lady order, feed her this decanting soup to drink"
Xiao Cui hurriedly put down the decoction and carefully helped Pang Luoyu up, letting her half lean on herself.
Pang Luoyu, who was asleep, only felt that he was ridiculed and despised by everyone at the banquet, and drove back and forth with his hands indiscriminately, wanting to drive away these ridicules.
The second aunt grabbed Pang Luoyu's hand and coaxed, "Yu'er, be good, come and drink this hangover soup, just drink it."
Pang Luoyu listened to it at this time, and waved his hands even harder.
The second aunt couldn't, so she helped Pang Luoyu from Xiaocui and let her lean on herself and coax her.
Seeing Pang Luoyu in his arms quieted down, he beckoned to Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui understood, picked up the sobering soup and picked up the spoon and fed it one by one, fortunately, Pang Luoyu vomited once, Xiao Cui fed carefully, and the second lady picked up the handkerchief and also carefully wiped the soup flowing from the corner of Pang Luoyu's mouth.
finally let Pang Luoyu drink most of it, and then helped her lie on the bed, the second lady looked at the filth beside the bed, and ordered Xiaocui to clean it up.
The second lady sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Pang Luoxue, her eyes were full of doting, and Xiaocui stood by the bed and didn't dare to make a sound.
The ancestral hall, which was already quiet, was even more gloomy, especially the second lady, touching Pang Luoyu's hand and rubbing it gently, but the eyes in the dark were shining. Xiao Cui looked at the lady in the shadows and raised the smile on the corner of her mouth, and felt trembling all over.
"Xiaocui, you go out and keep guard, and no one is allowed to come in."
Xiao Cui nodded, compared to the silence outside, the expression of the second lady made people feel more terrible. It's safer to go outside by yourself, these two ladies are too terrible.
Xiaocui guarded vigilantly outside the door until the second lady came out.
"Let's go, go back."
Xiao Cui looked at the second lady in a good mood, and she also felt very puzzled, but the affairs of the master's family should not be too much, lest she not know how to die. Hurriedly lowered his head and helped the second lady to go back.
Listen to the rain inside
The second lady returned not to her own courtyard, but to listen to the rain in Pang Luoyu.
In the living room of the main house, the second lady held a cup of tea in her hand, half-sipped, without making a sound, Ju Qing knelt below, I don't know what the second lady meant, her back and forehead were covered with cold sweat.
The second lady glanced at Ju Qing with her spare eyes, took another sip of tea, and put the cup down.
The sound of the cup coming into contact with the table made Ju Qing's heart tremble, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Do you know why Madame Ben made you kneel?" The second lady said coldly
"Slave, slave maid didn't take good care of Miss, it's the slave's fault, slave maid"
With a snap, Ju Qing covered her face and screamed, and lowered her head and wept silently.
The second lady looked at herself and wiped her nails, "I beat you today, not only because you didn't take good care of Miss, but also because Mrs. Ben promoted you to be Miss's personal maid, you didn't even think about Miss at all, Miss had such a big thing, you didn't even report it to me" said and grabbed Juqing's chin with his hand, pinched her fiercely and looked up at herself. Slowly took out a picture scroll from her arms, the second lady pushed Ju Qing aside, threw the picture scroll in her face and said: Do you want to say it yourself, or do you want me to help you say it.
Ju Qing picked up the scroll and opened it, and found that it was the King of Jin painted by the young lady, and cried: "The young lady's picture scroll is never allowed to be touched by the slave maid, how can the slave know the young lady's thoughts." Please also ask the lady to be clear. ”
After saying that, Ju Qing kept kowtowing.
The second lady fiddled with her bright red Kodan, only felt that the color was not bright enough, picked up the oil lamp on the table and fiddled with her nails, suddenly the second lady thought of something, tilted the oil lamp, and the hot lamp oil inside dropped on Ju Qing's hand, and Ju Qing's hot hand had several bubbles.
"I'm soft-hearted, I can't see others screaming, I was really distressed when I saw my little rain just now. Xiao Cui, come over and help Ju Qing. ”
Ju Qing shook her head in horror and said: Second lady, the slave knows that she is wrong, the second lady doesn't want it, ahhhhhhhhhh
Xiaocui immediately stepped forward to cover Ju Qing's mouth, and Ju Qing could only make a "whining sound." ”
"Miss wants to close the ancestral hall, presumably these days, your hands will not be used"
The small half of the lamp oil poured out before it stopped. The second lady put the lamp aside and said, "This time I will teach you a small lesson, so that you know who is your master." ”
Ju Qing had blood blisters on both hands, which looked very scary, and the pain had numbed her.
The second lady looked at Ju Qing's expression and felt some comfort in her heart: "I remember that you have a younger sister, and your mother is in good health?" Your deed of sale is here for me, if a lady who is not careful about doing things and is not happy, then I want to sell you to Cuiwei Building, presumably with your appearance can also have a lot of benefactors like, so as to usher in the day of sending, I think you will like it more, a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, half a red lip ten thousand tastes. It's for you. Huh"
The second lady's words sounded like Ju Qing trembled, she knew the second lady's ruthlessness, but she didn't expect her to do this to herself. Climbed to the feet of the second lady and said: "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid will take good care of the young lady in the future, and the second lady will definitely be notified of anything and beg the second lady not to sell the slave and maid." ”
The second lady nodded, "This is what you, a personal maid, should do, okay, I'm also tired, Xiaocui came over to help me."
Xiaocui hurriedly helped the second lady to leave.
When the second lady was gone, she couldn't see it, Ju Qing sat on the ground, looking at her red and swollen, blistered hands, only to feel that the pain of the heart and the biting cold flowed into her limbs. Ju Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, got up, and dropped a handkerchief as she bent over.
The handkerchief is embroidered with peach blossoms blooming in spring, and two butterflies leisurely shuttle between the flowers, such a bright scenery sets off their own misery. This handkerchief was given to her by the second lady, although she didn't ask anything, but this is the first time in this world that in addition to her mother, others gave her warmth, although she knew that the eldest lady had a bad temper, but she was also loyal to her, but, in exchange for such an ending, there is a kind of hatred that can go deep into the bone marrow, Juqing's unwillingness and hatred let her pick up the handkerchief, she was unwilling to discard this warmth, endured the pain and walked out in her arms, she knew how she could make herself truly free.
