Chapter 006: People are good and are bullied
Li Siyu thought for a while and said: "I just had a discord with a few of the eldest lady's maids, and there were some physical collisions, but there was no major contradiction with the eldest lady." As long as the eldest lady swears to heaven that you will not trouble me and the second miss because of today's incident, I will send the eldest lady away. ”
Cao Xue asked a little incredulously, "It's that simple?" "It's definitely not that simple to tell her about her instincts.
Li Siyu said: "If the eldest lady can do it, it is naturally very simple, but if she can't do it in this life, she can only be a concubine forever." ”
"What do you mean?" When she heard the word "be a concubine", she was very disgusted, she looked down on concubines and concubines the most. She is the concubine of the marquis's mansion, why should she be a concubine?
Li Siyu said: "What I want you to swear is that you will not embarrass me and the second miss in any way because of today's events, otherwise, you will only have the life of marrying someone else as a concubine in this life." ”
Modern Li Siyu does not believe in oaths, but the ancients believed in ghosts and gods and superstitions, so they also believed that the oath made would become true.
"Xiaoyu, isn't this a little too ruthless?" Cao Xiuling still couldn't bear it after all. Her mother is a concubine, and she is a concubine, so she can deeply understand the sorrow.
Li Siyu said: "How can this be ruthless? As long as the eldest lady really doesn't care about today's affairs, she won't have anything. Could it be that what the eldest lady said before was that she didn't care about today's things, just a polite remark? ”
"This," Cao Xiuling was speechless. Yes, if she really didn't care about today's events, her vow would not have been fulfilled. It is indeed not a cruel thing to let her make such an oath.
Seeing that Cao Xue was hesitating, Li Siyu said: "Whether the eldest lady can walk out of this door with your maid today depends on what decision the eldest lady makes." Her momentum was so strong that she scared Cao Xue.
Cao Xue gritted her teeth, "Okay, I swear!" ”
She didn't want to swear, but the situation at this time was that if she didn't swear, Li Siyu would definitely not let her go safely. After looking at the four maids who were still wailing in pain on the ground, she didn't want to be like them.
After Cao Xue swore an oath, Li Siyu moved away from the chair, opened the door, and said to Cao Xue respectfully: "Miss, please." ”
Cao Xue was very angry in her heart, but at the same time she was angry, she was also slightly relieved in her heart. She was afraid that Li Siyu would do something to hurt her. Although Li Siyu will naturally be punished or even take her life if she hurts her, she feels that it is not worth it to exchange her injury or life for Li Siyu's life.
Cao Xue walked outside the door, then turned to the four maids who were still wailing on the ground and said, "It's not shameful enough, get up for me and go back!" ”
The autumn breeze was cool, but Cao Xue felt a cold sweat on her back. The four maids got up from the ground and supported each other in Cao Xiuling's small courtyard that had left.
"Lady go slowly, welcome to come often!" Li Siyu sent Cao Xue to the door of the courtyard and said enthusiastically.
Her smile was bright and beautiful, and the autumn chrysanthemums blooming at the door were eclipsed by her smile. The so-called people are more delicate than flowers, that's it!
The autumn is high and cool, and the small courtyard restores its original calm. But some people's hearts can no longer be at peace.
Cao Xiuling's heart palpitated, she looked at Li Siyu a little nervously, and kept asking her if what happened just now was she dreaming or was it true. Because, she never thought that she would encounter such a scene. I never thought that the high-ranking lady would be as soft as her maid.
Li Siyu said: "Second Miss, what you saw just now is true, I beat the eldest lady's maid and forced the eldest lady away." I don't think the eldest lady dared to come to us again for a long time. "It's better never to come.
She took Cao Xiuling's hand, and the blisters on it made her feel shocked. Treat your own sister, how can you be so ruthless? This ancient backyard is really a place of right and wrong.
"Let's go, I'll put some medicine on you." She remembered that there was some wound medicine in her room, which Xiaohe had left before.
Every time Cao Xue came to the courtyard, Xiaohe and the second miss would be bullied, the second miss was okay, although she was a concubine, she was also the blood of the Hou Ye, and they didn't dare to take it too seriously. But for Xiaohe, a maid, they never show mercy. Every time they left, Xiaohe would apply wound medicine all over her body, because she was covered in wounds. Li Siyu felt that Xiaohe didn't actually die of illness, but was bullied to death by them. Therefore, when she was teaching those maids a lesson just now, she showed no mercy.
Cao Xiuling's body trembled a little, this was frightened, she was stunned just now, she didn't feel scared, and now she feels scared for a while when she thinks of what happened just now. Cold sweat also broke out on his head.
"Xiaoyu, we're in trouble now. The eldest lady will definitely not let us go! What to do? She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Li Siyu said: "Second Miss, don't worry, the eldest lady will not retaliate against us for today's incident." Have you forgotten that she swore a poisonous oath? ”
Although Li Siyu met Cao Xue for the first time, he had heard some things about her and knew a little about her temperament. If she hadn't sworn a poisonous oath, she would have retaliated against them. But she has already sworn that in order not to let herself be a concubine, she will never trouble them because of today's incident. And she will restrain her maids and keep them a secret about the day. Otherwise, her dignified concubine actually suffered a loss at the hands of the maid of the concubine, and was forced to swear a poisonous oath, which would really make her feel shameless.
Cao Xiuling still felt scared, "Xiaoyu, you are too bold, don't do such a thing in the future." Although this kind of thing made her feel very enjoyable, she was more afraid.
Li Siyu sighed, "Second Miss, you are too kind, you must know that people are good and are bullied." For the person who bullies you, the more you tolerate and retreat, the more he will think that you are a bully and will always bully you. Over time, it becomes a habit, and you will be bullied for the rest of your life. If you teach him enough lessons to him when he bullies you for the first time, let him know that you are not a bully, and he will carefully weigh it when he bullies you again. This hesitation will back down, and then it will stop bullying you. So, sometimes you have to be a little stronger. ”
Cao Xiuling was thoughtful, she also wanted to be as domineering as Li Siyu and drive away all the people who bullied her, but she couldn't do it. Since she was a child, she has been accustomed to forbearance and retreat, and has become accustomed to a life of resignation. She didn't dare to do anything like that.
To put it bluntly, it is actually Cao Xiuling who has low self-esteem, she has always been obsessed with her identity as a concubine, and feels that she is inferior. Therefore, even if the rough maid in the house shook her face to show her, she didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
