Chapter VIII: Punishment

The morning food has passed, the sky outside is already transparent, and the yard is shuttled back and forth with busy sprinklers and maids, which adds a lot of warmth to this cold winter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info garden verandah, rockery pond water in the faint morning light against the background of the classical style, quiet and dignified.

Mu Zhimo was supported by Mama Liu, and Liuying Jinping followed silently all the way back to Xuefu Garden.

"Miss, the old slave is not, if it weren't for the old slave, you wouldn't have been punished to go to the Keats Temple to suffer." After Mama Liu helped Mu Zhimo sit down on the carved chair, she knelt on the ground and said in a voice, full of self-blame and worry.

"Don't say such stupid things." Mu Zhimo got up and helped Mama Liu up, held her hand lightly, and said in a soft tone.

"You love me the most, why is it so angry. You also know my situation in the mansion, and this time I guess Mrs. will not be like this. It was me and Mu Yunyan who had a dispute first, and without you, I would definitely talk about it. This is also the result of my happiness, and I am worried that I will not find an excuse for going out of the house. Madame has fulfilled me. It's that I've caused my brother to be involved, otherwise I wouldn't have had this kind of thing. How is my brother's injuries now? You came back in a hurry, but did you ask a doctor for healing? ”

The cousin and Mu Yunyan are best friends, and they are even closer when they are close. I have bullied Mu Zhimo before.

Mama Liu looked at Mu Zhimo with pity on her face, raised her hand and gently lifted the broken hair next to her ear behind her ear, and secretly hated herself for not being able to protect Miss.

"How can this be blamed Miss, it's also Qin Feng's kid who is strong, and he doesn't see that people are looking for trouble. Otherwise, they will never be caught by them to pinch Miss, Miss is not to blame for Miss's kindness. His injuries were good because he didn't hurt his bones, and the doctor's medical skills were good, and he was almost healed when I came back. ”

Mu Zhimo knew that Mama Liu was comforting herself, she had seen the power of the girl's whip, so she didn't say anything. She pulled Mama Liu to sit on the small pestle next to her, "How can you stand your body bones after kneeling all night last night!" After a while, let Liuying use hot water to give you a hot compress and then apply some medicine. Over the years, it is also because of me that you have spent less time with your brother and missed the years when he grew up. Now that I am burdened, my heart is also very uncomfortable. ”

"Where is the young lady, the old lady didn't punish the slave and maid much, even if she knelt all night, she was not cold, and there were times when no one supervised her. Back then, if it weren't for my aunt's attention, there would be no way for us orphans and widows to live. Boys want to stand up to the sky, how can they always follow me to ask for a living. However, the aunt is gone, leaving the girl alone in this mansion to survive, so she needs to be taken care of and loved. ”

Mu Zhimo knew that Mama Liu really hurt herself, and a touch of emotion surged in her heart. Orphans in the previous life, even if they are loved by their parents in this life, it is enough for someone to love themselves. The tip of his nose was sour, he grabbed Mama Liu's hand and comforted, "Mama rest assured, I will no longer be the cowardly and deceitful concubine I used to be, and in the future, I will protect you who love me, and one day I can earn a decent income, and I will definitely let Mama enjoy her old age in peace and marry a good sister-in-law for my brother." ”

Mama Liu's eyes were moist, and she was happy for such a young lady. Lao Huai patted Mu Zhimo's hand with relief and said, "Mama waits, I must see that Miss is happy!" ”

Seeing that the breakfast hour was over, my body and mind relaxed, but I also felt hungry. Instructed Liu Ying Jinping to set up breakfast and let them sit down to eat. At first, several people were unwilling, saying that this was a broken rule, but they couldn't bear Mu Zhimo's insistence, and finally sat down halfway next to the round stool, and they didn't eat a meal.

Mu Zhimo looked at it and smiled lightly, and they will slowly get used to getting along. She has always been kind to those who love her.

After breakfast, Liu Yingjinping went to pack the things he was going to take to the temple, saying that he was going to stay there for a few days, and the weather was getting colder and colder, so he had to prepare some supplies.

Mu Zhimo had nothing to do and looked at the fallen leaves piled up by the wind in the courtyard overnight, and the corners of the houses around the courtyard were also dilapidated, as if no one lived there. There was no shadow of the two sprinkler girls and the gatekeeper in the courtyard, which immediately made the mood not very refreshing.

Although my sister is an unfavored concubine, she is a young lady at all. This is using my sister's dignity as a shoe upper, isn't it challenging my majesty?

Mu Zhimo instructed Mama Liu to come over and open the courtyard gate, and then threw all the things of the three of them into the courtyard, and specially instructed them to rush to the door.

"Miss, I'm afraid it's not good, they are Mrs. after all, if you make a fuss, you will suffer a loss, Miss." Mama Liu said disapprovingly. A heart was very suspended, for fear that Mu Zhimo would annoy his wife again and suffer a loss.

"Mama is fine, although it is the person given by the lady, but in the end it is my yard who does things. I don't get tough, they still pinch me like a soft persimmon, and they can't tell who is the master and who is the slave. You can do it, I have my own measure in this matter. Mu Zhimo said softly to Mama Liu. She knew that this was also Mama Liu's worry about herself, after all, it was indeed not easy for Mu Zhimo to make a living under her mother over the years. But she is no longer the original Mu Zhimo, does she want to be bullied and die again?

Mama Liu looked helpless and retreated, such a young lady looked hard. But it's really distressing. Without the protection of your parents, you can only be strong in the wind and rain.

Mu Zhimo casually moved the carved wooden chair and sat down at the door, and took a sip of tea.

The sun was already rising, and the warmth of the house dispelled the cold outside. Some of the thin ice in the pond in the garden has melted, and a few koi fish are swaying and scrambling to breathe in the fresh air. The vivid life surging under the sunlight is also a vivid scene in this garden.

Though things are like this, how much more about people! To live is to fight for your life.

I don't know how long it took, Mu Zhimo was almost asleep when she was lazy, and finally heard the sound of laughter from outside the hospital.

"The eldest lady was punished again this time. The useless concubine even made us laugh at our sisters and sisters. A delicate voice remembered that it was harsh to hear from far and near.

"Even if you're fed up serving in this place." The voice of the old woman.

"Hey, this time, the old lady punished her to go to the temple to enjoy the blessings. We had a few happy days. "A schadenfreude smack.

"Deserves it, a concubine still competes with her concubine in vain. You want me to see ......" The voices of several people finally reached the door.

"Oh my God, our stuff, who did this! See if I don't let me peel her skin....Miss ......" The woman shouted, and then saw Mu Zhimo sitting at the door, and Mama Liu standing aside, her eyes were clear and cold that she had never seen before, although she was sitting there gentle and leisurely. There was a solemn aura all over her body, and the dirty words she said to her mouth were indeed swallowed raw. The blunt young lady stood at the door with a stiff voice.

The two maids followed behind, although they saw Mu Zhimo's appearance, but thinking that they had Mrs. support, they stiffened their waists and glared at Mu Zhimo with hatred on their faces.

"Yo, this is a rare guest. What kind of wind blew the three masters into this dilapidated courtyard? No one cleaned the dead leaves at the door, but I took a closer look at your exquisite embroidered shoes. Mu Zhimo said mockingly.

There were three people standing in front of the door, two little girls in pink coats, thirteen or fourteen years old, who looked like a sign, and glared at Mu Zhimo with hatred on their faces. A mother-in-law in a cyan dress stood in front, looking at the whole body, it was more magnificent than Mama Liu. Those who don't know will think that Mama Liu is watching the door, and these two girls are the big girls.

"Miss, what are you talking about, we are the maids sent by our wife, this does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, even if we do not serve well, we don't have to throw away our things to slap us in the face. We are not afraid of being thick-skinned and cheap, but this can be a slap in the face of the lady. Miss, this is more and more of a concubine in charge. The maid named Xueqing stood up and said with a disdainful face.

This big hat comes down. It's not that the young lady covets the position of the daughter-in-law, and she still has the power to be in charge if she is far away. This spread out, where is there a foothold for the young lady.

Mama Liu wanted to open her mouth to theorize, but Mu Zhimo raised her hand to stop her.

"Look at what you said, I lost your things and slapped Madame in the face. When will you be able to represent Madame's face? Are you minions or masters! And what you said about poor service. This is not thoughtful, but there has been serving. Do you say you have served me? Isn't that out of the blue? I think this is a big bully. Mu Zhimo said sharply, and after speaking, he smashed the tea in his hand.

There was a "bang" and the tea bowl shattered to the ground. The splashing debris frightened the three of them for a moment.

Is this still the cowardly and incompetent lady from before? The three of them were trembling and full of horror, they used to be just maids and maids running errands in the outer courtyard, and they were arranged by Mrs. to come over, and they couldn't speak in front of Mrs. In the past, Mu Zhimo was used to being cowardly, so they ignored and bullied her.

But now Mu Zhimo has changed, they have been caught in the wrong place, that is, this slave bully has done nothing, if Mrs. knows, she will not break their legs and sell them.

The three of them also broke out in a cold sweat, and they couldn't find words to refute for a while.

At this moment, Mama Yan's voice came from outside the courtyard, "Is the eldest lady here?" ”

Listening to the sound of the outer courtyard, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at Mu Zhimo with a provocative expression.

Mu Zhimo curled the corners of her mouth and pulled out a sneer......
