Liu Qing stayed in the old lady's room tonight to serve, Ma left Jiang to boil water in the kitchen, and he returned to the house indignantly.

Liu Qing and Ma's daughter Liu Xiangxiu went to the kitchen to get hot water, saw Jiang, remembered that she was about to go to the Guogong Mansion to be a cook, couldn't help but envy and hate, and said sourly: "Look at the girls in the Guogong Mansion, each wearing silk and satin, more magnificent than the average lady, I don't have a sister-in-law who can go to the Guogong Mansion on an errand." He sighed as he spoke.

Jiang Shi was lenient and comforted: "No matter how good the girl's errand is, she is still serving, how can she be better than her sister in her own home, her mother is in pain, and your brother is in pain, and you don't have to worry about making mistakes, in the end it is more comfortable." ”

Liu Xiangxiu has always helped the Ma family to bully the Jiang family together, but at this moment, she only regarded it as Jiang's comfort and ridicule, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law is really arrogant, you don't care about such a good errand in the Guogong Mansion, so let's change it!" You stay at home to serve your mother, and I will go to the Guogong Mansion to serve those ladies and misses, is my sister-in-law willing? ”

Jiang Shi was silent, and thought to himself: If you know how to cook, I will give you the errand of the cook.

"Why is my sister-in-law silent? Holding fragrant dumplings in his hand, he is still a good person here, and he is cheap and good. Liu Xiangxiu rolled her eyes, hit Jiang Shi hard with her shoulder, knocked Jiang Shi away, and left.

The Jiang family has always forbeared, and the torture of the Ma family's dominatrix can be endured, not to mention Liu Xiangxiu's little trouble?

Liu Xiangxiu walked out of the kitchen with a basin of hot water, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, why, she didn't look worse than those girls, why didn't she have that good life to go to the Guogong Mansion to be an errand? Although the Guogong Mansion is a slave, what food and clothing are not a hundred times stronger than this rural village?

Passing outside the flower room, I suddenly had an idea. I don't know who the little girl at the dinner table is with the old lady and the young master, she is dressed luxuriously, and she is born like a fairy, which must be the young lady in the Guogong Mansion, if she can please her and make her like herself, maybe she will take herself back to the mansion tomorrow?

Liu Xiangxiu has always been a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, so she made up her mind and went to knock on the door of Hua Wanwan's room.

There was a maid's voice in the house: "Who? ”

"Xiangxiu, the daughter of Steward Liu."

Inside the house, many candles were lit, and the house was brightened.

The maid cast an inquiring glance at Hua Wanwan, and Hua Wanwan smiled and said, "Let her come in!" ”

The maid opened the door and let Xiangxiu in, Xiangxiu knelt down in front of Hua Wanwan with a basin of hot water, and said with a smile: "The slave maid has made a basin of hot water and is here to serve Miss An to freshen up." ”

The maid saw that Liu Xiangxiu mistook Hua Wanwan for the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, and when she was about to correct it, she saw Hua Wanwan shaking her head slightly at her, signaling that she didn't have to, so she was silent.

"You are the daughter of Steward Liu, not a maid of the Guogong Mansion, a pure white family, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me." Hua Wanwan's voice was extremely gentle, and in Liu Xiangxiu's eyes, she thought she was a fairy descending to earth, a bodhisattva.

Liu Xiangxiu held the hot water and walked to Hua Wanwan diligently, and said: "Envoy, my father is a slave of the Guogong Mansion, although I am not a child, but I am also willing to serve Miss An like the maid of the Guogong Mansion." If Miss An doesn't dislike it, let the slave wait for you to wash your feet! The slave is willing to wait for the young lady to wash her feet every day. ”

Hua Wanwan was silent, Liu Xiangxiu took Hua Wanwan as a tacit, so she put down the basin and took off Hua Wanwan's shoes and socks, who expected, she just put Hua Wanwan's feet into the water basin, Hua Wanwan screamed, a basin of water was overturned to the ground, and suddenly, the whole house flowed everywhere.

Liu Xiangxiu was dumbfounded, she had tried this water by herself, and it wasn't hot.

Hua Wanwan held her feet, pretending to bare her teeth and grinning, shouting in her mouth: "It hurts, it burns me!" ”

The maid on the side had already stepped forward, and while helping Hua Wanwan to the bed, she reprimanded Liu Xiangxiu and said, "What's the matter with you girl? Clumsy, you scalded our young grandmother's feet with hot water, you are so bold, what are your intentions? ”

The maid had already taken the burn cream to coat Hua Wanwan's feet, and Hua Wanwan's feet were indeed flushed, but they were not hot, they were hit when she kicked over the basin just now.

Liu Xiangxiu was already stupid on the ground, and apologized again and again: "Isn't it the young grandmother, not Miss An?" It was the slave who was blind and begged the young grandmother to spare the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid really didn't mean it, when the slave and maid went to the kitchen to get hot water just now, they did mix it with cold water, and they never thought that it still burned the young grandmother......"

Liu Xiangxiu's eyes were full of tears, and Hua Wanwan looked at her wolf bèi, and her heart was secretly refreshed, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when this little slut tortured herself in her previous life.

Liu Xiangxiu is only one year older than herself, but she was born half a head taller than her, not to mention tall, her appearance was originally quite pretty, but she had a sour and mean appearance, inherited Ma's and diluted her original beauty. On weekdays, she always crosses her waist and supervises Hua Wanwan's work angrily, and she lets Hua Wanwan do all the work assigned to her by Ma's, and she rides Hua Wanwan as a horse if she has nothing to do, either learning Ma's tone to scold her for being lazy, or shouting at her: "Dead girl, you are lazy again, hurry up and clean up the kitchen!" I'll be back in a moment to see if you're lazy! ”

"Remember to scrub the pot clean, and there is no water on the ground! Clean the stove too! ”

When it took Hua Wanwan half an hour to finish brushing all the pots and pans, bending down and starting to wipe the floor, Liu Xiangxiu suddenly poked her head in from outside the window and scolded: "Can you wipe it clean like this, you have to kneel on the ground and wipe it!" I don't understand this! By the way, there is no water in the tank, so I'll pick up another load of water later! Did you hear that? ”

Liu Xiangxiu always tried her best to push everything to Hua Wanwan, and then turned all those things into her own credit, and she also went around telling others how hard she worked, and she had to take care of a daughter who couldn't do anything.

Not only that, every time Hua Wanwan went to eat, Liu Xiangxiu only left her one or two cold steamed buns, and there was only a little residual soup left in the soup pot.

Seeing the arrogant wicked man in his previous life kneeling in front of him at this moment and crying bitterly, begging for her forgiveness, Hua Wanwan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, you didn't mean it, it's also kind to help me wash my feet, get up, don't cry." Fu said to the maid on the side: "You take the dirty water out and pour it first, I have something to say to Miss Liu." ”

The maid went out.

Hua Wanwan plucked a silver hairpin from her head, handed it to Liu Xiangxiu and said: "I frightened Miss Liu tonight, I have nothing to compensate you for, this silver hairpin is given to you, you don't dislike it." ”

Liu Xiangxiu couldn't help but be flattered.

Hua Wanwan smiled again: "It's too late, I'm going to sleep, you can go back and rest." ”

Liu Xiangxiu heard the amnesty, hurriedly wiped her tears, thanked her and rolled out of Hua Wanwan's room. But when I thought that I couldn't steal chickens and rice, I was very sad, but fortunately I also got a silver hairpin, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Lying down for less than a quarter of an hour, she was called up by Ma, who grabbed her ears from the bed and scolded: "Xiangxiu, are your hands and feet not clean?" If you take something from Grandma An's room, put it back quickly. ”

Liu Xiangxiu panicked in her heart: "When did I take Grandma An's things?" ”

"Have you ever entered Grandma An's room tonight?"

"yes." mentioned this stubble, Liu Xiangxiu was so annoyed that she died.

"What are you doing in her room for no reason? Now she has lost something in the house, saying that it is a silver hairpin, although it is not valuable, but after all, it is something left to her by her mother, and it means something different to her, and now she is clamoring to catch the thief who stole the silver hairpin and ask for the guilt! ”

Liu Xiangxiu was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look nervously under the pillow.

Ma's eyes were sharp, and he lifted the pillow and immediately saw the silver hairpin.

Ma Shi rewarded Liu Xiangxiu with a few ear scrapers, and scolded in his mouth: "You dead girl, but a silver hairpin will make you red, you have to steal a golden jade, steal a silver hairpin, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed!" ”

Liu Xiangxiu shouted wronged: "Mother, I didn't steal it, this silver hairpin was given to me by Grandma An Shao." ”

As soon as Liu Xiangxiu's words fell, the maid walked in, looked at the silver hairpin in Ma's hand, and pretended to be happy: "Thank God, it was really taken away by Miss Liu, I said, why did Miss Liu send a basin of water, and the young grandmother's silver hairpin was gone?" ”

As he spoke, he snatched the silver hairpin from Ma's hand and said, "I have to go back to the young grandmother quickly, otherwise Steward Liu will alarm the whole Liu family to find this silver hairpin." ”

Liu Xiangxiu couldn't help but sweat in her heart: "My father...... Do you already know about it? ”

The maid glanced at Liu Xiangxiu: "Miss Liu, you are really, you like hairpins, our young grandmother will naturally give you more valuable branches, this silver hairpin is not valuable, but it is a souvenir given to her by the young grandmother's mother, it is of great significance to her, and she must not lose it." With such unclean hands and feet, I also delusionally wanted to go to the Guogong Mansion on an errand, the Guogong Mansion has treasures, and you are afraid that you will have to break your hands when the time comes. ”

The maid glanced at Liu Xiangxiu contemptuously and left.

Liu Xiangxiu was so depressed that she was going to die, and the Ma family fell into the well again: "You are a thing that is not angry!" ”

"Mother, I really didn't steal the silver hairpin, it was given to me by Grandma An, I was wronged!"

"You are wronged, who will prove it?" Ma Shi took Liu Xiangxiu's hand, "Let's go, hurry up with me to see your father, admit your mistake to your father, and ask him to help intercede with the young grandmother, you want to annoy your father, he won't send money to the family when he turns around, or your shameful behavior tonight will cause your father to lose his family's job, see how your father cleans you up!" ”

Liu Xiangxiu was rudely pulled out of the house by Ma's, but when she saw a black shadow flashing in the backyard, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Who! ”

The black shadow heard Ma's voice but did not leave, but walked generously to Ma's mother and daughter. As soon as Ma saw the visitor, his heart immediately rose to his throat.
