Chapter 11 Someone Eavesdropped
Her skinny little body was put on ill-fitting clothes, making her even more vulnerable. Her messy hair was combed into a child-like bun by Yuerong. A small face that was yellowed by malnutrition was revealed.
"How old are you?" Yu Qinli put down the book and glanced at Yun Qian.
"13" Yun Qian's head slowly raised a few points. Yu Qinli nodded, and then asked, "Why do you live on the streets?"
"There was a locust plague in the countryside, and there was no life left at home to come out to beg for food and find a way to live. Although Yun Qian's voice was as weak as a mosquito and a fly, her eyes were always very clear, and she even had a faint heroic spirit.
This made Yu Qinli very happy.
"Would you like to follow me from today onwards?" Hearing that Yu Qinli was relieved, Yun Qianjing knelt down and buckled her head heavily: "As long as the girl is willing to enjoy the food, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, Yun Qian is willing to serve the girl for the rest of her life."
Yu Qinli nodded, picked up the ancient book and flipped through two pages, and instructed lightly: "Okay, Yuerong will take her to eat something again."
"Hey. ”
Yuqin Liben sat alone in the room reading a book, and when he got up to pour tea, his heart was dull, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy. At this moment, Yuerong pushed the door and sent a change of clothes in.
Yu Qinli saw the plain brocade cotton dress that Yue Rong was holding in her hand. Her eyes sank instantly. Put down the book and follow Yue Rong out of the room.
Yuerong is not only Yuqinli's personal maid, but also has to do the rough work of laundry and cooking on weekdays.
Tonight, I have to take turns to deliver the clothes to the rooms. It wasn't until she saw Yue Rong who came to deliver the clothes that Yu Qinli figured out the reason for her upset.
In her previous life, Yue Rong was killed on the night she finished delivering the plain brocade cotton dress to Yu Qinli.
Yu Qinli followed Yue Rong all the way to Feng Roumin's door. The dazzling white window paper reflected the figures of Yu Tuxiong and Feng Roumin in the room.
Yue Rong raised her hand to knock on the door and put it down, she took her clothes sideways and eavesdropped in front of Yu Tuxiong's door.
It didn't take long for Yue Rong to be greatly frightened, the clothes in her hands fell to the ground, and she hurriedly picked up the clothes from the ground, but the sound of the wooden plate hitting the ground had already alarmed the people in the house.
Yu Tuxiong yelled inside the house, "Who's outside?"
Then the figure in the house shook, the door was forcefully opened, Situ Xiong looked around, but there was no one outside.
Feng Roumin stood at the door and said, "Could it be a wild cat?
No, he had just heard footsteps outside the house. Just as Yu Tu was wondering in his heart, a shiny thing in front of the door caught his attention.
Yu Tuxiong bent down to pick it up, and found that it was a string of women's earrings with emerald leaves hanging from them.
"Women's earrings?" Yu Tuxiong's eyes narrowed slightly, put the earrings into his sleeve, turned around and entered the room.
Yu Qinli, who was hiding behind the flower bed, watched Yu Tuxiong close the door before daring to let go of the hand that was pressed on Yue Rong's mouth.
Yue Rong opened her mouth, eager to tell Yu Qinli what she had just overheard in front of the door.
Yu Qinli placed her index finger on her lips. Motioned for her not to speak yet.
"Come with me. ”
Back at the residence, Yue Rong sat on the bed and trembled like chaff.
Yu Qinli looked at her lightly, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Yue Rong. "Drink some water....".
Yue Rong took the teacup with frightened eyes, shivering but unstable, the hot water spilled out and rolled down on her hand, but she didn't know that it was hot
"Miss, you can't marry the prince, sir, they want to harm you."
Yu Qinli smiled and said to Yue Rong: "Okay, Yue Rong, don't say anything now, I know what you want to say."
"Miss, you know!" Yue Rong exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.
She didn't even say anything!
"Yes, I know, for now we'll put this aside, and then you have to remember every word of what I say. And you have to do it, you know?"
Yu Qinli's eyes were a little deeper, and the expression on her face became slightly serious, and her tone was undeniably firm.
After Yue Rong calmed down her emotions, she nodded affirmatively to Yu Qinli.
Quickly took off the jade earring that was still hanging on Yuerong's ear.
She took a pair of earrings of her own from the cabinet and put them on Yuerong's ears. Then she replaced the wooden tray with a rattan basket.
Then he stuffed the basket into Yue Rong's hand and said to her, "Now send this thing to the eldest lady's room." Just like usual, let go and go, no matter what the two of them say or ask, you just say you don't know. Do you remember?"
Yuerong remembered. Yue Rong exhaled deeply, calmed her mind, and looked resolute.
Yu Qinli couldn't help but smile, in this life, this Yuerong is actually a very bold woman, and she protects the lord, if she wasn't cowardly in her previous life, she wouldn't have hurt her, and she would have hurt herself.
Thinking of this, her eyebrows were gentle, and she patted Yue Rong's shoulder, "Yue Rong, don't be afraid, I will follow you, as long as anything abnormal happens, I will come out at any time."
"Okay" Yuerong lifted the basket and went to Feng Roumin's courtyard the same way. Yu Qinli hid behind the flower bed and stared at the movement in the room.
On the window paper, Yu Tuxiong's shadow took out an earring from his arms and shook it in front of Yue Rong.
Yu Qinli's heart tightened.
I saw that Yue Rong in the room shook her head, turned around and put down her clothes, at this time Feng Roumin stepped forward to ask some words, and Yue Rong still shook her head.
Yu Tuxiong waved his hand and motioned for Yue Rong to step back. It wasn't long before she came out of the room.
Yue Rong, who went out, sighed, looking like she was the rest of her life, and turned around and quietly looked inside the house. Seeing that Yu Tuxiong and Feng Shulei didn't notice him, he hurriedly stepped out of his leg and trotted away.
"Whew.... ”
Yu Qinli, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
As if nothing happened, he slowly returned to his small courtyard, and sure enough, he saw Yuerong wiping the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
Although the name is the master and servant, it is actually a deep sisterhood.
She will always remember how Yue Rong, who was of the same age, in order to protect her from childhood, to protect her from eating, cut off the silk and deal with those wicked old women and evil maids, and how she suffered from Yu Wanli's humiliation.
Thinking of this, the hatred in Yu Qinli's heart couldn't help but roll uncontrollably, like a stormy wave, difficult to calm down.
Finally calming down and pulling herself out of the terrible past, she slowly opened her mouth.
"I'm afraid. Yu Qinli smiled at the corner of her mouth, shook her head slightly, but pointed at Yue Rong with doting.
"You.... I didn't even realize that I was still an eccentric lord. What did Feng Roumin tell you?"
"She, she asked me.... Rong propped her fingers on her cheeks and began to think back to the scene just now. "Bang".
Before Yue Rong could speak, the two looked sideways, and Yun Qian was losing the wooden shelf in her hand with a white face.
Yu Qinli frowned, squinted at Yun Qian, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No... It's okay...".
Yun Qing lowered his head, quickly picked up the wooden shelves on the ground, and trotted out of the door.
In the room, staring at her back until she disappeared into the small courtyard, gently caressing the old wooden table, slender fingers, lightly knocked a few times, and made a smart sound
"Yun Qian?" Yu Qinli chewed on the name repeatedly in her mouth.
Yue Rong on the side stepped forward and asked, "Miss, you are suspicious of Yun Qian." ”
"I never believed that Yuerong would go out of the house tomorrow to Yun Qian's hometown to inquire. We are in a position that does not allow for the slightest sloppiness. Yu Qinli stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Yes, miss. Yue Rong's face was a little solemn, "Miss, if there is really a problem with this Yun Qian, then what should we do?"
Yu Qinli lowered her hand, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip lightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then said slowly: "If there is really a problem, send her away before she has caused us any harm." But you must remember that this matter cannot be known to outsiders."
"Okay, Miss Yuerong will do it immediately. Yue Rong lowered her head and replied.
The sun had just risen in the morning, and the dew on the flowers and leaves in the courtyard had not yet dried, so Yu Tuxiong sent the maidservants in his house to bring clothes to Yu Qinli.
"How can you say that this old man would give the second lady such valuable clothes for no reason?"
"Don't you know? I heard that the master is going to marry the second lady to the prince. ”
"What? If there is such a thing, won't the second lady be the crown princess in the future?
"That's not it, it's just that it's hard for this eldest lady, and she quit the marriage for no reason, which doesn't have a good reputation. ”
Yu Qinli sat in the room reading a book, and was really disturbed by the muttering of the slaves and maids outside the door.
She stood up and opened the door with a cold face, and the slave at the door was startled by her sudden opening.
Hurriedly knelt on the ground, raised the things in his hand above his head, and said, "Second Miss, this is the blue and white flowing fairy skirt that the master ordered to bring you, and these jewelry are all ordered by the master."
Yu Qinli lowered her head and glanced at the valuable cyan dress in the hand of the visitor.
She didn't show much of a happy expression. She still remembers that when she saw this dress in her previous life, she almost cried with joy.
At that time, I naively thought that my father was finally willing to look at her. Now it seems to be a big joke.
After the maidservants ran away like a desert, Yu Qinli casually picked up the clothes on the table and fell into deep thought.
