Chapter 227: Faithfulness or Loyalty
Ling'er instinctively took a step back, not wanting them to touch her, now she really wanted to break off with the Ye family and not owe them a penny. Chunqiao and the others could see her estrangement at a glance, and several people lowered their heads, but they still couldn't kneel.
Ling'er turned her head away from looking at them: "Second uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”
The second aunt saw that Ling'er's face was not good, and she was also a little embarrassed: "Ling'er, they are your people, I just brought them to you, oh, and these."
This box is what you brought with you when you entered the house, you click on it, is there anything missing? This box is what everyone gave you before, and this box is a new fabric from the house, as well as some strange things brought back by your second uncle, I hope you like it. ”
Ling'er walked to the edge of the box and took a look, and said to the third sister, "Move our things into the house!" ”
"Second aunt, I only need my own things, I won't want them if they are not mine, please take them away!"
Zhiyu was a little sad: "Sister Ling'er, are you angry that we didn't come to see you?" We can't help it, the eldest aunt secretly sent you away, but told us to send you back to the countryside, if it weren't for that time my girl Chunling happened to see the tenth sister on the street, I wouldn't know you were here! ”
The second aunt nodded and said: "Yes, Ling'er, everything is a misunderstanding, it is all a matter that the sister-in-law made up on her own initiative, if I knew that you were here, I would definitely come to pick you up early in the morning." ”
Ling'er sneered: "Take me back? Will you take me back and eat their scraps? I, Yang Ling'er, have hands and feet, and I can support myself, so I don't need the Ye family's charity! ”
The second aunt and Zhiyu were so choked by her that they couldn't speak, the two stood for a while, Zhiyu stomped her feet and turned around and ran out, and the second aunt was nervous Zhiyu. Hurriedly said:
"Ling'er, I left you something, anyway, it's your thing, you can throw it away, as long as you like it, I'll go first!"
The second aunt and his entourage left in a hurry, and Chunqiao and the others were still kneeling on the ground. Ling'er turned her back to them: "You guys should go too!" ”
Chunqiao kowtowed: "Miss." As long as the slave and maid follow you, they are your people, and they have always been, please Miss don't drive the slave and maid away. ”
Qiu Chan and Qiu Ming also kowtowed: "Please miss, don't drive the slave away." ”
The third sister came out after moving the box. A little angry: "You are still embarrassed to come back, where were you when Miss was so sick that she was dying?" Where were you when Mademoiselle was humiliated? I'm sorry to stay here, if I'm going to kill you! ”
Chun Qiao and the others blushed, and the third sister snorted lightly. Holding Ling'er's hand: "Let's go, Miss." Let's go inside! ”
The two of them took two steps, heard a bang behind them, and turned around to see Chunqiao lying on the edge of the stone table, bleeding from her forehead. The two girls screamed in fright, knelt down and hugged Chunqiao: "Sister Chunqiao, you can't die!" Sister Chunqiao! ”
Ling'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief. A few steps up to press the wound on Chunqiao's forehead, turned around and shouted to the third sister: "Go and get the hemostatic medicine." Just go! ”
The third sister hurriedly ran into the house, and Chunqiao took Ling'er's hand: "Miss, slave maid...... If the slave can't take care of you, you let the slave die! ”
Seeing her pale face, Ling'er couldn't help but soften: "Don't speak, if you die, I will send you back to Ye Mansion immediately." ”
Chun Qiao's face was happy: "Miss is willing to keep us?" ”
Ling'er didn't speak, took the hemostatic medicine and quickly sprinkled it on the wound, and instructed the third sister to ask for a doctor. After tossing like this for a long time, Chun Qiao's head was wrapped into a zongzi and lay on the bed, her face was pale due to excessive blood loss, but fortunately there was no danger to her life.
Ling'er came out of the Chunqiao room, and saw Qiu Chan and Qiu Ming cleaning the blood stains in the courtyard, and the two saw Ling'er quickly put down their things and saluted, and called Miss timidly, Ling'er walked to the stone table and sat down, and the two of them bowed their heads and stood in a proper manner.
Ling'er's eyes swept over them, and after a long silence, she asked, "Who called you away?" Where are you these days? ”
Qiu Ming said: "Miss Hui, on the day Miss was sick, Sister Chunqiao sent a slave maid to fetch medicine, but she was caught by the two mothers-in-law in the eldest lady's room and locked up in the firewood room.
We were locked up for five whole days, and then the eldest lady came to release us personally, and she said that you have followed the old lady of the Yang family back to the countryside, and you will never come back in the future, so let us all follow Miss Zhilan to serve in the future. ”
"You've been around Zhilan all these days?"
"Yes, miss."
Ling'er stood up and walked around the courtyard, she stopped and looked up: "Then why did the second aunt bring you here again today?" You guys...... But was he assigned by the eldest lady? ”
The two hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, Miss, the slave and the maid are often beaten and scolded in Miss Zhilan's room, and the slave and maid want to return to the young lady, how dare they have half a different heart." ”
Ling'er thought for a while, and sat down again, "Okay, I believe you for the time being, but if I find out that you have a little ghost mind in the future, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people at that time." ”
"Slaves don't dare!"
"Alright, get up!"
After the two stood up, Ling'er asked Qiu Ming: "During the time I left Ye Mansion, what is the matter in the mansion?" ”
Qiu Chan and Qiu Ming glanced at each other, and Qiu Ming said: "Miss Hui, it seems that there are a lot of things, and there seems to be nothing to do, I don't know what Miss wants to hear?" ”
"Let's just tell me about your 'seems to have a lot going on'!"
"Yes, miss, after you left, the ancestor was sick, and he has been sick in bed, and he has not recovered to this day."
"Oh? Is it? Ling'er was noncommittal, who knows if her old man was really sick or deliberately pretending to be sick, so as to avoid herself, the so-called pearl in the palm of her hand?
Qiu Ming saw that Ling'er was not interested in this, so he changed it: "Miss, the slave maid serves in Miss Zhilan's courtyard, and she watches Miss Zhilan smash things and scold people every day, and sometimes she beats the maid!" ”
"Every day?"
"Yes, the slave maid and Qiu Ming were often beaten when they first went, and when Miss Zhilan saw us, she found an excuse to beat us and punish us, and then we learned to be obedient, and when we saw her come back, we quickly hid, but unfortunately Sister Chunqiao had to serve by her side every day, although she was beaten less because of the face of the ancestors, but her life was definitely not easy."
I wanted to know that Zhilan's girl had a bad temper, but I didn't expect it to be so bad, "Then do you know the reason?" ”
"This ......" Qiu Ming hesitated a little, she peeked at Ling'er: "I heard...... I heard that after the last garden party, all the young ladies of marriageable age have received posts one after another to propose marriage, but ......"
Ling'er suddenly understood, it turned out that her family had affected her family affairs, no wonder she was so angry, and she couldn't help but vent her anger at the spring and autumn cicadas that had served her. (To be continued)
