Chapter 9: Inexplicable
Looking at the lights in the house from afar, Dongmei secretly said that it was not good. She just followed Yueqing to this palace yesterday, and she should be the only one who can come to her. The brain quickly thought about countermeasures, but he wondered why Yueqing would come to her today.
In fact, she didn't worry much about Yueqing's actions, anyway, she had told her mother that she would only stay by her side for ten years to protect her safety, she was not Yueqing's real maid. Moreover, when she was in the Hou Mansion, she looked at Yueqing's desireless appearance, and she was really anxious and annoyed, thinking that she couldn't support the wall with mud!
She was just curious, Yueqing would never take the initiative to come to her, how could it be so abnormal today?
Chu Yueqing, who was waiting in the house, didn't realize that there was something wrong with his behavior today, but at this moment, he saw a figure coming outside the house, and thought: This is Dongmei? Why did you wear a black night suit?! Although she didn't live in ancient times before, TV series and nothing are in vain, and she still has the common sense she should have. So, she vaguely felt that the current situation was a little weird?!
Dongmei walked into the house like this, without being at a loss, without a trace of uneasiness, in stark contrast to Xia Xiang's previous expression. Just looked surprised and said, "Princess? Why are you here? ā
Chu Yueqing, who was asked, obviously did not adapt to this so-called title of princess, and suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to stay in someone else's room in a grand manner. Therefore, Chu Yueqing stood up: "It's nothing, it's just that Xia Xiang said in the morning that you are not in good health, so I came to see you." ā
Chu Yueqing politely explained, and the maids in the house and Xia Xiang were stunned. Only Dongmei replied calmly: "Thank you princess for your concern, Dongmei is fine." ā
Chu Yueqing just wanted to say, it's okay, I'll go back if it's okay. However, many fragments flashed inexplicably in her mind, and she thought about Dongmei's strange outfit today, which made her feel that she should stay at the moment. and her titular maid, Dongmei, have a good chat about life.
So, "It's getting late, so get back and rest." Chu Yueqing said simply to the maids beside him, trying his best to imitate the tone of the ancient people's speech, although the words he said were still a little different. Fortunately, the maids beside her retreated obediently, allowing her to avoid embarrassment.
"Xia Xiang, do you have anything else?" Chu Yueqing saw that Xia Xiang didn't move, so he asked.
"The slave and maid are fine, princess, the slave and maid are waiting outside the house, just call the slave and the maid when you go back." Xia Xiang responded.
Chu Yueqing originally wanted to agree, in ancient times, it didn't seem good for a woman to go out alone, although now it is in her own home, but who makes this not an ordinary family. She still had to be a little more careful. But she saw that Dongmei seemed to have an opinion on Xia Xiang, although she didn't say anything, her eyes were obviously very dissatisfied with her.
Chu Yueqing understood the relationship between the original owner Yueqing and Dongmei, when the original owner was ten years old, Dongmei was sent by the original owner's aunt to protect her. Although the two of them have different personalities and have no communication in private, they have lived together for seven years without incident. Therefore, the relationship between the original owner and Dongmei is still better than that of Xia Xiang, a serious maid. So Chu Yueqing smiled politely: "Xia Xiang, you have been running with me for a day today, and you must be very tired." You don't have to worry, I'll let Dongmei follow me when I go, you go and rest. ā
Xia Xiang tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if she didn't want to leave, but in the end, she should have done so and retreated.
Chu Yueqing didn't think about it, living in this kind of hierarchical era, the distinction between respect and inferiority was obvious. The original owner is broad-minded, but she is not, at least she will not let down her guard against the maid sent by the original owner's stepmother Li. Besides, usually only friends can hurt you more, which is why she has few friends in modern times. She only makes trustworthy friends, friends who have been precipitated over time.
Therefore, although Chu Yueqing advocates the socialist idea that everyone is equal. However, after all, socialism is not advocated here, but feudalism.
Seeing these maids and Xia Xiang return to their own rooms, Chu Yueqing felt that he could have a good conversation with Dongmei.
"Where have you been today?"
Unexpectedly, Dong Meili ignored her, walked to the door and closed the door. Seeing this, Chu Yueqing ~ was careless, and she had to close the door when she talked about secrets.
"I'm sorry, I forgot the door wasn't closed."
Dongmei seemed to glance at her, and it seemed that it just flashed across her face, and said, "Actually, sometimes it's safer not to close the door than to close the door." ā
Chu Yueqing felt that her IQ was not enough, why didn't she understand what it meant!
As if knowing that she wouldn't understand, Dongmei said: "Take the simplest example: the door is open, even if others want to eavesdrop, they should be a little more afraid; On the other hand, if the door is closed, although the difficulty of eavesdropping increases, our vigilance will also decrease as the door is closed. At that time, it may not be safer than leaving the door open. ā
"Oh~" Chu Yueqing dragged an end note, "I understand, that is, as soon as this door is closed, everyone inside and outside the door is blocked." ā
Dongmei just subconsciously wanted to give Chu Yueqing a wake-up call. However, she didn't expect Chu Yueqing to understand, because in her impression, Chu Yueqing has always been in a state of indisputability. However, after hearing Chu Yueqing's answer, she couldn't help but look at her twice. When did this girl get her senses?
Chu Yueqing saw Dongmei staring at her, and the alarm bell rang out for a while, could it be that she said the wrong thing? ! Although he was apprehensive in his heart, Chu Yueqing still forced himself to calm down and asked, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? ā
"Not really, there is some truth to what you said. It's just that I don't understand why you suddenly got your senses? Dongmei stared at her, her brow slightly twisted to indicate that she was thinking.
"There's nothing unenlightened, just trying to understand something." Chu Yueqing didn't explain the information he got from his memory. Dongmei is a year younger than her, but her aunt asks her to protect her. Then presumably this person must be very smart, and let Chu Yueqing look at the years they have been together from a bystander's point of view, and it seems that he also found that the relationship between this Dongmei and her aunt is not ordinary. Therefore, sometimes there are many mistakes in saying too much, and now she can not say it without saying it, and she can talk nonsense if she can.
This is really thanks to the fact that when she was a rice worm at home, she played Tai Chi with her mother every day!
Dongmei observed Chu Yueqing to see if she was telling the truth. Seeing that her expression was not panicked, I believed it a little in my heart. What's more, the palace is not as good as the Hou Mansion, and this girl can only deal with it with a twelve-point spirit. Remembering that Chu Yueqing was married to the fifth prince, Dongmei had a little more sympathy, so she didn't delve into it anymore.
"That's right, if you're still the same as when you were in Lehou Mansion, I'm afraid you won't be happy."
Chu Yueqing was stunned, how could she hear that there was something in this, as if she was not praising her~ Also, this Dongmei spoke without the slightest hint of respect. How to say it, it makes her feel that getting along with Dongmei is like a friend who has known each other for many years, but the relationship is not lukewarm. It seems that she doesn't like to see her very much.
Chu Yueqing confirmed once again that the Dongmei in front of her was unusual, and their relationship was unusual!
Chu Yueqing smiled politely at Dongmei and said, "You haven't said where you went just now?" ā
"IāI went out for a spin...... Dongmei didn't expect her to suddenly ask this question again, she thought she had cleverly dodged it.
Well, don't you say it, I don't know if you're out for a walk? Chu Yueqing was speechless, and continued to ask impolitely, "I know you went out for a walk, the question is where did you go?" ā
Chu Yueqing's inquisitive expression reminded Dongmei of being bluffed by her eldest brother during the day, and then Xiao Xun was still very unenlightened. I couldn't help but be annoyed: "I don't want to say it." ā
Chu Yueqing was stunned for a moment, she seemed to be a little too much, but what is the situation?!
Is Dongmei's attitude really okay?
In order to figure out the situation, Chu Yueqing decided to ask directly: "What is our relationship?" ā
PS: I'm not too sure, but there should be a more one in the evening!
