Chapter 136: Punishment
"Oops!"
The sudden exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the old lady also took her eyes off the gift list.
I saw that Xia Xue'er, who was still sitting steadily, was standing next to the chair at this time, holding the handkerchief to block the slightly hooked corners of her mouth, but her eyes were full of horror, and the chair was sprinkled with steaming tea, and the blue and white porcelain cup turned a few times on it, and finally fell to the ground, and broke into several halves with a "bang".
There was silence in the room for a while, no one spoke, only the sound of breathing, mostly rapid. The old lady looked unhappy, and just wanted to speak, but was preempted by her daughter-in-law. I saw her stand up, pull her daughter up and down, left and right, and ask in a very anxious tone, "How is it?" Is it hot? ”
Xia Xue'er happened to face the old lady, showing a very frightened look, let her mother pull her, and only came back to her senses after a while and waved her hand to say that it was okay, but she secretly glanced at her mother.
Speaking of knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, how could Mrs. Xia not see that her daughter did it on purpose? With her calm character, how could this little thing make her so shocked? Besides, with her skills, how could she let it smash into her own hands when she caught that cup with just a finger stretched out? At this time, although I don't know why my daughter is doing this to Shuang'er, Shuang'er's actions really angered her!
"Why are you so careless, the tea is so hot, what if it spills on your body? This thin skin and tender meat will break the phase! first complained to his daughter, then turned his head, glared at Shuang'er with angry eyes and scolded: "How do you do things, you can't serve a cup of tea, what are you doing in the house?!" ”
After hearing this, Shuang'er immediately lowered her head, looking like she was listening carefully to her wife's lesson, but a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows narrowed thinly, and a touch of ruthlessness scattered out of it.
She has studied medicine since she was a child, although she has never seen a doctor since she entered the Xia Mansion in order to hide her identity, but after all, she has the trust of the old lady, and she is in charge of the key to the Chinese Medicine Pavilion in the mansion.
Originally, I wanted to put my hand on Xia Xue'er's pulse when she received tea, after all, there has always been a mystery in my heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as she handed the teacup to Xia Xue'er, she took the lead and hit her wrist in the air, causing the cup to leave her hand, and she dodged it with a dodge, and screamed in horror, which was obviously intentional!
The old lady frowned, raised her hand to stop: "Hey~ Presumably she was also unintentional, the third girl is fine!" ”
As soon as these words came out, even the maids standing on the side were cold for the third lady, their eyes could see clearly, Shuang'er's wrist suddenly turned when serving tea, and the teacup left her hand, if it wasn't for the third lady's cleverness, wouldn't she have to be burned? But when the old lady said this, she was obviously biased in favor of Shuang'er, whose grandmother didn't love her granddaughter like a baby? It's just that the master they serve is an alternative, preferring maids to close relatives!
Mrs. Xia had already seen through the coldness of people's hearts, but she couldn't help but feel sad for her daughter, glanced at her daughter, and saw a touch of abuse flashing in her eyes, but her face was as calm as water, and she hesitated in her heart all of a sudden, this is really not like her daughter, or has she never understood her daughter?
"I have no grievances with you, and the house treats you well, and the old lady loves you so much, but you can do such a thing to me, what kind of heart do you have?!" Xia Xue'er looked at Shuang'er with disbelief on her face, and after saying this, she turned her head to look at the old lady, with some sadness in her eyes, "Shuang'er is your old person, even if she doesn't respect her granddaughter, she doesn't dare to deal with it, and please make a decision!" ”
The old lady frowned when she heard this, Shuang'er, this girl has been with her for many years, she is reluctant to be punished, but the third girl has something to say, if she doesn't give her an explanation, after all, it will not be good for the Xia family's century-old reputation after it is passed out, how can there be a maid who bullies the head of the concubine, and the concubine still dare not beat and scold? Isn't this a matter of words, saying that there is no distinction between respect and inferiority in the Marquis of Anguo, and there are no rules?! But if she is punished, Shuang'er will definitely be depressed, and she can't bear it! Shuang'er, this girl, has never been a rough person who does this, why has she always done wrong things in recent months, as if she has changed her temperament.
Xia Xue'er didn't speak, but quietly watched the old lady entangled. Everything has a first time, and for the sake of the fame she values most, she will make a decision.
The old lady picked up the teacup on the table, shook the lid of the cup twice, then put it back on the table, stared at Shuang'er tightly, and asked, "Is this your fault?" ”
Shuang'er gritted her teeth, and when she raised her head, the ruthlessness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by tears, Chu Chu looked at the old lady pitifully and said: "The slave knows that she is wrong, but the slave and the maid did not mean it, and I hope the old lady will know it!" ”
For such an answer, Xia Xueer was not surprised at all. Shuang'er is not stupid, if she says that she is framing her, it is equivalent to a slap in the face. First, she had no direct evidence, and so many maids standing behind her only saw the fact that she let go of the cup containing the hot tea and the horror and grievance in the eyes of the third lady; Second, she couldn't tell her motives. She is the maid of the Livable Pavilion, and Xia Xueer is the master of Tingyuxuan, not only is the status of the two thousands of miles apart, but even the place where they live is the north and south, and they have very little time to see each other, and there will be no grievances and grievances. If someone wants to say that Xia Xue'er was envious of Shuang'er's favor and was framed by the old lady, it would be even more impossible, because basically no one in this house didn't know that their third lady didn't call the old lady, and it wasn't rare for the old lady to love her at all!
It's a pity that the old lady can't think about it so much, and when she just admits it, she really thinks that she accidentally spilled the tea. For a while, his brows were furrowed, although Shuang'er looked at herself pitifully, even if she couldn't bear it, but if she was wrong, she would be punished.
"You will be punished to go to the backyard to wash your clothes for a month, and then you will not come back to the front to serve during this period."
For such a painless punishment, Xia Xue'er only nodded slightly, and she didn't expect the old lady to really do anything to Shuang'er. She and her mother both understand that Shuang'er is the old lady's favorite maid, and she can always coax the old lady very happily with sweet words, and it is not easy to expel her from the house lightly, but it is not impossible for her to gradually lose the trust of the old lady, and it is not impossible to have a dislike between them!
"Back to the old lady, the hour is almost up."
