Chapter 205: She and Her
"You and Greensleeves don't look like ordinary masters and servants, but like sisters." Liu Shi stretched out his hand and tested the temperature of the water, which was neither lukewarm nor hot, just right.
"Greensleeves is different from the others, she is not an ordinary servant girl, and she can come and go freely, but she chose me, and I will not let her down." Bai Jiaojiao was suddenly grabbed by her ankle and said in shock. "Auntie, what are you doing here?"
"I'm tired from running all day today, so let's soak my feet." Liu didn't care and wanted to take off her socks.
"No, no, I'll just do it myself." Bai Jiaojiao was a little flattered.
Liu smiled. "You little girl is still shy, where was not my mother to wash for you in the past, just these feet used to step on the water as soon as they entered the basin."
"That was in the past, but it's different now." That person is not her, and no one has ever washed her feet, so she is too shy.
"It's different, it's just that you've grown up, but no matter how your identity changes over time, you're your mother's daughter, what's wrong with washing your daughter's feet."
"I'm supposed to wash it for you." Bai Jiaojiao hid his feet and refused to stretch them out. "Unless you're going to let me wash it for you."
Liu refused at first, but he couldn't resist her, and the water would be cold again if he continued to argue like this, so he had to agree.
Bai Jiaojiao put her foot into the basin of water, bent down to take off Liu's shoes and socks, and Liu's feet came into view.
Although this dynasty did not pursue the inhumane deformed aesthetic of small feet, Liu's feet were not good-looking in all fairness. Perennial use makes the broad ball of the foot flatter, and the side edge of the thumb and the ball of the foot accumulate a thick callus.
The heels have accumulated thick keratin because they have not been taken care of for a long time, and the scars left by chilblains can be seen on the entire soles of the feet. This is the mark left in her body by Liu's hard work that has been hidden for so many years, and it cannot be covered up by no matter how many Huafu fat powder there are later.
Bai Jiaojiao touched the acne mark distressedly. "This is when my aunt carried me to see the doctor that winter, I was frozen."
"Mother, you have a recurrence of chilblains every year, are there any more in the past few years?"
"No, I'll use ointment too. I stayed because I had to go to the field with your father to step on the snow. "Liu is sad to see her." Silly boy, your father has a lot of scars, what am I doing? ”
"You don't have to work so hard, if you stay in the capital all the time......"
"No ifs, I've never regretted it. What's more," Liu said in a low voice. "What's more, if it weren't for you...... That, I will only be worse than before in this life, and I will not meet your father and get you good children. ”
Bai Jiaojiao carefully wiped the gap between each toe for Liu. "What kind of person is she?"
"Beautiful, nice people." Liu didn't continue to serve her, wiped her feet and sat on the white bed, "I like to toss these delicate little things as much as you, but she can't toss as much as you." ”
Looking at this house, she thought that the original layout was already very good, but now it seems that it is exquisite and rich everywhere. "She's a very noble person, and she deserves the best of everything. When I first met her, it was the most miserable time in my life, and the liar forced me to be abducted and cheated. ”
She tried to escape, but every time she was caught, she was more severely guarded, beaten and insulted, and as she grew older, she knew very well that her time was getting less and less, and if she couldn't escape, her only fate would be to be ruined and sold into a green house like other girls.
Therefore, she had to cooperate with the liar to abduct, and it was at this time that she met Bai Jiaojiao's mother. That girl had everything she didn't dare to hope for in her dreams, and at the moment when the liar was about to succeed, she didn't know where the courage she bred pierced the face of the liar.
She thought she was going to die, but at least she saved the child, and she wouldn't let her fall into the same filth as herself.
But the child did not leave her, and just as she was dying of being tortured by the liar, a group of officers and soldiers descended from the sky and saved them all. "It was she who changed my life, although she was her maidservant, but she was completely different to me. We could sleep in a bed, eat something in a bowl, take a bath in a tub, and talk about everything. ”
Liu looked at Bai Jiaojiao, "She is more like my favorite sister, if I hadn't met your father, I would never have left her in my life." ”
"I guess she must have been helping you stay with Daddy, right?" Otherwise, it would be impossible to marry into the Bai family as a Liu family.
"Hmm." Liu nodded, she still remembered that the woman told her that she wanted to give her the happiness that belonged to her. "She fabricated the identity of a petty official and a righteous girl for me, although her status is not high, but at least she is innocent. Your father was not so prominent at that time, and we were happy with each other, and the elders had no reason to stop it. ”
"I thought that if she married the person she loved the most, even if I was not by her side anymore, she would be the happiest person in her life, after all, what that person could give was something that no one could give. But it's the wicked man! He ruined everything with his own hands!! "She will never forgive that man for killing her closest sister! The hatred in Liu's eyes was something Bai Jiaojiao had never seen before.
Although she is the party who broke the family, when it comes to feelings, she does not have as much hatred as Liu, after all, compared to a name she never knows, Liu is the only mother she identifies.
Ah Niang is grateful and loving to her biological mother, while Ah Dad is because of righteousness and commitment. They have endured humiliation for so many years in order to preserve themselves and this secret. Bai Jiaojiao seemed to see in them what she was missing......
"It's A-Niang who is so excited, you haven't experienced these things, and you won't have such deep feelings." Liu wiped the corners of his eyes, this child is just too cold, except for their relatives who are accepted by her skirt, the rest seem to be indifferent. Even when it comes to his biological father and enemy, he is so calm and unwavering, like a group of strangers.
Before, she was worried that Bai Jiaojiao would know about her enemy, so she would go to great lengths to provoke herself, but now it seems that she has no desire to ask at all. I don't know if it's good or bad.
Miss, I hope that Kyaukjiao can be an ordinary person, without hatred, and spend this life in peace as Miss Bai Family. But isn't it too selfish to do this, the hatred she bears will just be let go, and she won't avenge you for your hatred, will you blame me? Liu's heart was extremely entangled.
"Squeak~~" I'm back! The window was violently pushed open a crack, and with the wind came a small figure, wet and drilled into Bai Jiaojiao's arms.
"What is this!" Liu Shi was frightened and hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back, "Jiaojiao, put it down!" (To be continued.) )
