Chapter 313: Humiliation
Hearing that Meng Shi was sent back to Meng Guofu, An Ruoxian just hummed lightly, so indifferent that it was almost abnormal.
Seeing her enthusiasm for the Meng family, she suddenly saw her indifferent attitude, and several maids who served her were very surprised.
Someone who was bold asked, "Miss, aren't you worried about the fifth lady?" ā
"Worried?" An Ruoxian seemed to be smiling, and said in a long voice: "I'm worried, but I'm too busy to take care of myself now, even if I'm worried, it's useless." ā
She was indeed worried, worried that Meng Shi would be suspended like this, and her sacrifice would be in vain.
Hearing this, several maids nodded as if they understood whether they understood or not.
Boredom stretched out her hands and feet, An Ruoxian asked, "The old lady can send someone to pass the word, when will I leave for the Grange?" ā
The left and right are leaving, and it is better to leave early than to dry up.
The maid cuckoo replied: "Not yet, I guess the old lady has not set a date yet." ā
Huang Ying died, and An Ruoxian was left with Du Juan and Qiulan, two maids, but fortunately, although these two people were not as clever and thoughtful as Huang Ying, they were easy to handle, and they didn't have to worry about betraying her.
An Ruoxian nodded, and when her eyes swept over the lively courtyard outside the window, the handsome and evil man suddenly appeared in her mind.
It's been a long time since I've seen him.
first learned the rules under Mama Yan, and then was confined, and after careful calculation, they hadn't seen each other for almost half a month.
Three days ago, the two heads would meet at Henglai Restaurant, she had developed a habit, and now she hasn't seen her for more than half a month, it's good that she didn't think about it, and when she thinks about it, she feels uncomfortable.
There was an impulse in my heart to see him immediately.
Biting her lower lip, An Ruoxian asked, "Has grandmother ever explained that she won't let me leave the house for the past few days?" ā
The cuckoo shook his head and said, "There is no such command. After a pause, he said: "It's just that now that the fifth lady is not in the house, if the young lady wants to go out, she can only go to the old lady for instructions, but I am afraid that the old lady will not agree." ā
The implication is that at such a time, going to ask the old lady for instructions to leave the house will only cause more dissatisfaction.
An Ruoxian didn't know this truth, but the more this happened, the more she wanted to see him.
In the future, she was sent to the Grange, and she didn't know when she would be able to return, and if she didn't say hello to him, she would always feel uneasy.
And...... She was desperate to see him, and she felt that only he was willing to listen, and only he could understand.
Biting the corner of her lip, she murmured, "Anyway, my grandmother doesn't like me, even if I try hard, it's the same, so why should I care too much about her opinion." I must leave the house today. ā
I don't know if this sentence is convincing myself or others.
An Ruoxian took the cuckoo to Songhe Hall to ask for instructions, but the old lady didn't see her at all, so she could only beg the old lady's eldest maid Hongxuan to help her pass the word.
"Miss Ten wants to leave the house?" Hongxuan frowned in embarrassment, with surprise in her eyes.
It's not that she's making a fuss, it's really An Ruoxian's boldness, it's the first time she saw that she was punished yesterday, and today she came to ask the old lady for instructions on the people who left the house, she couldn't help but admire An Ruoxian's courage.
If it was a favored young lady, Hongxuan would also run away, but these ten young ladies were the least treated by the old lady, and she had just made a big mistake, but she was afraid that she would touch the mold when she went in to spread the word.
Laughing twice, Hongxuan said: "Miss Ten, don't embarrass the slave, the old lady is resting, don't let people disturb you." ā
It was true that the old lady was resting, but she did not say that she would not be disturbed.
How could An Ruoxian not see that she was shirking, and she was immediately angry, but in order to get out of the house, she could only endure it, and said with a smile: "Sister Hongxuan, just help me this time, I am really in a hurry." ā
As he spoke, he took off the pearl bracelet on his wrist and quietly stuffed it into Hongxuan's hand.
Thinking that she is also a serious young lady in the Hou Mansion, but now she has been reduced to bowing her head to a maid, An Ruoxian feels ridiculous when she thinks about it.
Hongxuan shook the pearl bracelet in her palm, only to feel that the tentacles were round, full and smooth, and her eyebrows couldn't help but be dyed with a little joy, but she still hesitated: "Miss Ten also knows that you were punished only yesterday, and the old lady is not angry today, I'm afraid I don't want to see you." ā
said that he was embarrassed, but his eyes kept glancing at the tourmaline pendant on An Ruoxian's waist, and the greed in his eyes was undisguised.
An Ruoxian couldn't help but tremble with anger, but she still endured it, reached out to take the pendant hanging from her belt, she silently swore in her heart that she would pay back a hundred times the humiliation she was empowered today.
"What's going on?"
The sudden sound interrupted An Ruoxian's thoughts, she maintained the posture of taking the pendant and turned her head, and what caught her eye was An Ruolan and An Ruoyan's indifferent faces.
"Miss Five, Miss Six." Hongxuan hurriedly hid the pearl bracelet in her hand, and her eyes wandered.
An Ruolan took in her movements, and looked at An Ruoxian, who was holding her hand on the pendant on her waist, and knew it in her heart. She said: "Forget it this time, hurry up and return what doesn't belong to you." ā
Hongxuan's face immediately turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly stuffed the pearl bracelet back into An Ruoxian's hand, and lowered her head in panic and stepped aside.
An Ruoyan said: "Sister Xian is also here to see her grandmother?" Then come in with us. ā
An Ruoxian felt even more humiliated and embarrassed, she held the bracelet, and felt that her palms were very hot.
Gritting her teeth and glaring at An Ruolan angrily, she said, "I don't need you to fake your kindness." ā
An Ruolan squinted at her and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you think I'm sincere or fake, I just did what I had to do and maintained my face." ā
His eyes swept coldly towards Hongxuan, with a warning, which made Hongxuan tremble.
The so-called prosperity and loss, no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, all the ladies of the Hou Mansion are one, as long as one of them loses face, it will affect everyone's face.
Seeing that the arrogant red silk instantly became obedient, An Ruoxian's heart became more and more unwilling, and she realized more clearly the gap between her and An Ruolan.
The old lady was not as unkind as she thought, perhaps because An Ruoxian was going to the grange soon, and the old lady allowed her to leave the house, and only asked her to come back early.
Her heart was filled with the joy of being able to leave the mansion, An Ruoxian even forgot to ask when she would leave for the Grange, and couldn't wait to leave the Hou Mansion with the cuckoo.
An Ruolan and An Ruoyan accompanied the old lady to talk without mentioning it.
Because it was a temporary idea, and she didn't let people arrange a carriage, An Ruoxian walked to Henglai Restaurant on foot, and it wasn't until she arrived at the door of the restaurant that she realized an extremely strict problem.
She did not meet Zhao Jing today.
In the past, when she met Zhao Jing, she would make an appointment for the next meeting, but this time she didn't show up for more than half a month, and she made an appointment, Zhao Jing may not come here.
Subconsciously looked up at the window where Zhao Jing was sitting on the second floor, and it was really empty.
Sure enough, it didn't come......
An Ruoxian was not disappointed, turned around and was about to leave, but when she took the first step, she couldn't help but ask herself, is she really going back like this?
She was not reconciled.
How could she leave after suffering such humiliation in order to see him?
Maybe he's in a different position today? At least one question.
In the end, he stepped into Henglai Restaurant with full anxiety.
Walking to the counter, An Ruoxian asked, "Shopkeeper, Zhao Gongzi is there?" ā
The shopkeeper looked up and saw that it was her, he was startled at first, and then replied enthusiastically: "Miss can be regarded as coming, since you didn't go to the appointment last time, Zhao Gongzi has been waiting for you every day, and it has been half a month!" ā
Because An Ruoxian often met Zhao Jing in the store, the shopkeeper had long recognized these two handsome and generous guests.
Hearing this, An Ruoxian couldn't help but be stunned, he actually came every day......
I can't help but feel a little sweet.
Busy is asked: "Then Zhao Gongzi ...... today"
Without waiting for her to finish, the shopkeeper shook his head regretfully and said: "It's unfortunate that Miss came, Zhao Gongzi didn't come today, and someone passed the word, saying that if Miss came, please ask Miss to stay for a day, so that he can come to see you." ā
The moment of sweetness is replaced by loss, and the mood is like swinging, falling from the top to the bottom.
An Ruoxian lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Then bother the shopkeeper with a sentence, just say that I will leave ...... soon."
"Ruoxian!"
An urgent cry interrupted her words, and she turned her head in shock, only to see that the person who should not have appeared, was standing at the door with a slight gasp, his handsome and fair face was slightly red, and his forehead was full of sweat.
With a shock in her heart, An Ruoxian couldn't help but have red eyes, ran over and threw herself into his arms, and choked up: "Why are you here?" I thought I'd never see you again! ā
Strong arms wrapped around her tightly, and a low, melodious voice rang in her ears: "I knew you wanted to see me, so I came." ā
Hearing this sentence and feeling his broad and gentle embrace, An Ruoxian always couldn't help but cry and cried out all her grievances.
With his eyes slightly sunken, Zhao Qing patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
finally coaxed people to get them right, and the two still sat by the window where they used to sit and ordered tea and snacks.
An Ruoxian felt embarrassed, hung her head slightly, rubbed the corners of her red eyes with a handkerchief, and didn't dare to look at the person opposite.
Seeing this, Zhao Qing teased and said: "I just saw you crying so loudly, I guess my strength has been used up, hurry up and eat some snacks to replenish my body." ā
An Ruoxian took a look at it, it was all what she used to call and love to eat, and her heart was suddenly ironed. It's like this every time, no matter how bad the mood is, as soon as you see him, you will get better.
I don't know when this sometimes humorous, sometimes steady, sometimes evil, sometimes childish man has entered her heart, and light yƬ can affect her mood.
Picking up a piece of red date cake, An Ruoxian asked casually, "How do you know that I will come over today?" ā
Yuan was just curious, and wondered if he would take the opportunity to tease himself, but he didn't want the man to reply seriously: "I know everything about you, including your confinement and the guilt for your mother-in-law." ā
He looked at her, his eyes full of distress, "I knew that you would suffer so much, I would not let that maid make her own decisions." ā
The red date cake in her hand fell on the table, An Ruoxian's eyes widened in horror, and she muttered, "You sent someone to spy on me?" Could it be that the yellow warbler is your ......" R1152
