The next day, when it was just dawn, Yuexiang packed all her clothes and left the Red Peony Courtyard. She did not walk out of Ningfu www.biquge.info but went to the door of the Peony Courtyard and squatted there waiting for Aunt Li.

Aunt Li didn't stay in the Peony Courtyard last night, she stayed in Lingxiao Courtyard and accompanied her son Ning Hao. Ning Haotian is only three years old this year, but he has his own separate yard, and he is taken care of by the nurse Wang family.

On weekdays, Aunt Li and her two daughters live in the Peony Courtyard, but her young son lives alone in the Lingxiao Courtyard, and such an unkind arrangement was set by Mrs. Ning. Mrs. Ning deliberately separated her grandson from Aunt Li, Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao, which naturally had another deep meaning.

When Aunt Li returned to the Peony Courtyard and saw Yuexiang, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She recognized Yuexiang as Ning Jinyun's subordinate, if she remembered correctly, Yuexiang had served Ning Jinyun for five or six years, and she could be regarded as an old man.

"Yuexiang, what are you doing here?" Aunt Li asked sharply.

As soon as Yuexiang raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, and before she could reply, she knelt on the ground with weak knees.

She choked up and said, "Aunt Li, the slave was driven out by the second lady...... The second lady asked the slave and maid to come out and find something to do by herself, but the slave and maid had no choice, so she wanted to come over and beg you, give me something to eat......"

Before she finished speaking, she was already crying, and the bean-sized tears fell on her gray breast, wetting a patch.

Hearing this, Aunt Li was stunned, she had a few ideas in her heart, but at the same time, there were also many doubts.

Originally, the subordinates of the Red Peony Academy came to beg her, and it was not uncommon for her to deal with her, but she still planned to ask clearly before making a decision.

"What's the matter, your second lady is picking people out again? She's really good-tempered. Aunt Li let out a cold snort in her nose, and then changed her words and asked, "But I think she won't kick you out for no reason." Tell me, what did you do wrong, and why did she punish you for leaving. ”

Yuexiang raised her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face, and her tone was very aggrieved, "Back to my aunt, the slave didn't make any big mistakes, but the slave's mother had a serious illness recently, and it took a lot of silver to cure, so the slave went to the second lady for help and wanted to pay her this year's salary in advance." But the second lady didn't believe me, so she was only willing to give me this month's salary first, I was in a hurry, said a few more words, and then made the second miss unhappy, and was kicked out. ”

Aunt Li frowned and said suspiciously, "Just because of this?" ”

In her opinion, although Ning Jinyun hates it, she is not such an unreasonable person, can a maid say a few more urgent words for her family, can she be so resentful.

"Exactly, the slave and maid did not tell half a lie. The second lady has been in a bad mood because of Zhang Fu a few days ago, and the slave and maid provoked her at this time, and the slave and maid can only consider themselves unlucky. Yuexiang lowered her head and whispered back.

It is actually possible that the maid annoyed the master when the master was extremely unhappy, and then was punished.

Aunt Li didn't speak, just looked at Yuexiang thoughtfully.

Seeing that Aunt Li didn't speak, Yuexiang hurriedly begged bitterly, "Aunt Li, the slave's mother is now waiting to see a doctor and take medicine, the slave and maid can't do without work, please take in the slave and maid, even if it is a miscellaneous maid, the slave and maid are willing." As long as she can get paid to treat her mother's illness, the slave is willing to do anything. ”

Aunt Li's eyes flashed with a gleam, she pursed the corners of her lips and asked, "Are you really willing to do anything?" ”

"Slaves and maids are willing to do anything for the sake of their mothers."

Yuexiang knelt on the ground and promised repeatedly.

Aunt Li stared at Yuexiang's eyes for a long time before she smiled invisibly.

She instructed, "Alright then, you come in with me first, and I'll find you a suitable errand in the Peony Courtyard." ”

After entering, Yuexiang was arranged to work as an errand in the main room, doing some work such as serving tea and pouring water. The main house of the Peony Courtyard is where Aunt Li lives, while Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinrao live in the east and west wings respectively.

However, the so-called suitable errand is not just as simple as serving tea, there is naturally a reason why Aunt Li is willing to use the Red Peony Courtyard to come over.

After Yuexiang cleaned up, Aunt Li called her into the house alone.

She sat on a pineapple chair, took a sip of tea, and then pointed to some silver on the table next to her, and said lightly, "You can take this money, treat your mother's illness, the second lady is ruthless and refuses to come to the rescue, I am different from her." Since you have come to serve me, I will treat you well. ”

After Yuexiang took the silver, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Aunt Li three times, and said in her mouth: "Thank you, Auntie, you are the life-saving benefactor of the slave maid's family, your great kindness, the slave and maid are unforgettable, and the slave and maid are willing to make you a cow and a horse in the next life to repay you." ”

Aunt Li just gave a faint "um". Yuexiang's words are good, but I always feel that something is awkward, and it seems to be too contrived.

After a while, she asked Yuexiang, "You have been in the Red Peony Courtyard for so long, you should know a lot of things about the second miss, then you can tell me about the second miss's recent movements, such as what she usually does, who she has met with, and has she said anything special?" Since she didn't let me enter the Red Peony Courtyard again, I don't know much about her, can you tell me? ”

After hearing this, Yuexiang nodded hurriedly, and replied hurriedly, "You have a great kindness to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid must know everything about you." ”

"That's good." Aunt Li looked at her with satisfaction.

……

In the afternoon, Ning Jinhua walked into the inner room of the main room.

She took away the two maids who were cleaning in the house, and then sat down in front of Aunt Li, her face full of suspicion.

"Mother, did that person named Yuexiang really tell you everything? If she has any useful news, tell me about it. ”

Aunt Li shook her head, "She said a lot, but I didn't listen too carefully." ”

Ning Jinhua was a little surprised, she asked puzzledly, "Didn't listen carefully?" Why, do you want me to bring Yuexiang over and ask her again? ”

To Ning Jinhua's surprise, Aunt Li shook her head again and vetoed.

"It's useless to ask her, do you really think she'll tell the truth?" Aunt Li narrowed her eyes and snorted, "Yuexiang is just a second-class maid, and she is not Ning Jinyun's henchman, what important things can she know?" What's more, she knew that we didn't have a good relationship with Ning Jinyun, so why did she have to come to the Peony Courtyard to find me to save her, Hua'er, think about it carefully, do you think Yuexiang is really reliable? ”

Hearing this, Ning Jinhua was silent. Why didn't she think of it? Yuexiang was kicked out because she said a few wrong words, which was not in line with Ning Jinyun's usual style, it was a little strange to think about it, and besides, Yuexiang came to the Peony Courtyard again, which was even more suspicious.

Regardless of whether this moon incense is reliable or not, you can't trust her.

Ning Jinhua's face became serious, and she said in a deep voice, "It's still my mother's thoughtfulness, and my daughter was almost deceived by the tricks of their master and servant." However, I remember that you said today that you would use Yuexiang to clean up the Red Peony Courtyard, but since you don't trust Yuexiang for a long time, how can you use her again? ”

After hearing this, Aunt Li chuckled twice, she stroked Ning Jinhua's shoulder, and said slowly, "I don't believe her, it doesn't mean I don't need her." If Ning Jinyun is really playing tricks with us, then we will treat her in the way of others and give her a plan. ”
