Du Juan also knew that Shen Yifeng would not believe these words again, after all, the third lady at the banquet treated her so kindly, it seemed that she couldn't wait to let her serve her closely, how could she not even let her in the back room?

But she did keep watch outside the house all the time, and the only time she went in cheekily, she was scolded in less than half an hour.

She didn't dare to say to Shen Yifeng that the third lady seemed to have guarded against her, and with Shen Yifeng's temperament, she would never leave a slave who was ineffective and had flaws.

She covered her hot left cheek in panic, trembling even more, and her eyes were dilated.

At this moment, a burst of human voices was heard.

Shen Yifeng rolled up his sleeves and quickly glanced at the guard next to him, and the guard immediately stepped forward, picked up the lost cuckoo like a kitten and a puppy, and walked in another direction.

The voices were getting closer and closer, and Shen Yifeng heard that it was the fifth lady and the Jiang family who had sent someone over, and quickly walked back to the side of the carriage, and changed into a pleasant expression again.

When Shen Yifeng and Miss Wu came, only Aunt Zhao and Mother Hu went to greet them, but this time they left, but they were sent by a large family.

The old lady doesn't need to say that after this time, she has a very good impression of Shen Yifeng. The second wife also suddenly became an idler, and accompanied her to send it off.

Before the fifth lady got married, Aunt Zhao cried as if she had died of her daughter, but when she came back, she was full of spring breeze, as if she had made a big deal.

Sending the fifth lady into the carriage, Shen Yifeng also said goodbye one by one, turned over on the horse, and led the carriage behind him away.

The second lady looked at the sassy figure on horseback, and then looked at the old lady's love for Shen Yifeng, and she suddenly regretted it in her heart.

I had known this was what it looked like. It's better to rely on Jingxuan at the beginning......

But the second wife quickly dismissed this idea.

The Shen family has fallen like that. Where would it really be a good place to be? This qiē is all appearance. Miss Fifth is just a beautiful scenery now, and she will have to suffer a lot in the future!

The old lady and the second lady went to see off the fifth lady in person, and the young ladies said goodbye at the door of the hanging flowers, and went back to their rooms for a nap.

Su Xue returned to the house, gently rubbed the newly changed brocade quilt with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and instructed Qianrou: "If the cuckoo never comes back, you can go out and make a talk." Let's just say that there is only one wedding maid on Miss Five's side, Qiao'er, I saw that Du Juan was smart and clever, and sent her over to take care of Miss Five with Qiao'er. ”

Qianrou paused, and couldn't help but speak: "But the cuckoo was sent to the young lady by the old lady, and the young lady sent her directly to the Shen family, will the old lady and the second lady be careless......

Qianrou was halfway through her words, but she didn't tell her more thoughts.

But Su Xue can also understand that she is only the peer of the fifth lady, and she is still a sister-in-law to put it nicely, and the old lady and the second wife are not in charge. She was busy sending a dowry maid here, which did seem a bit troublesome.

But the cuckoo was sent by the old lady to help take care of her marriage. At present, the marriage has been changed to Miss Five, and it is reasonable to send the cuckoo over.

Then he said, "You don't need to ask, just do as I tell you." ”

After saying that, he lay down and closed his eyes, turned over and turned sideways inside, and silently thought in his heart, I have given you all the opportunities, I will accept it when I see it, don't come back......

But who would have thought that when he went out of the room after taking a nap, the cuckoo stood outside the door alive again.

Su Xue sighed in her heart, pretending to walk over without incident, but when she approached the cuckoo, she smelled a smell of herbs. Turning her head to look at it, even she was stunned.

Qianrou noticed that Su Xue had stopped, and she also looked over, and suddenly let out a low cry in shock, pointed at the cuckoo and said, "You...... What happened to your face? ”

The cuckoo raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes were red, the left side of his face was swollen and high, and there were some swelling medicine smeared on it, and he almost couldn't recognize it as a cuckoo if he didn't look closely.

Qianrou asked in surprise, and the cuckoo didn't dare to answer anything, she gave Su Xue a quick look, and immediately buried her head.

Qianrou was still surprised, but seeing that the cuckoo didn't seem to dare to answer, she didn't continue to ask.

And Su Xue has already recovered from her stunnedness.

He narrowed his eyebrows and asked unhurriedly: "You went out in a good way, why did you come back with a lottery?" Is someone deliberately looking for you to be angry and demonstrate to me, or is it ...... You're misbehaving and getting into trouble with someone you shouldn't be messing with? ”

Su Xue's tone suddenly lowered, and her eyes stared at the cuckoo like a torch.

The cuckoo sobbed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "The little one doesn't dare, don't dare to provoke anyone......"

"And where did you get this injury?" Su Xue let out a deep sigh and grabbed Cuckoo's wrist to force her to lift her face.

The cuckoo cried and shook his head, his eyes showing fear.

"You won't say yes, will you? Then I'll let my grandmother tell me to go down and ask them one by one! There are so many pairs of eyes in Jiangfu, I can't believe it and can't ask where you went after lunch. ”

Su Xue shook off the cuckoo's hand and turned to walk out.

After lunch, the cuckoo went to the outer courtyard with the maids who were cleaning up the dishes by returning the eight pieces of crabs.

Of course, Su Xue knew that it was just an illusion, where did the cuckoo go, and why didn't she know?

Seeing that Su Xue was more real, Du Juan panicked even more, trotted forward and grabbed Su Xue's clothes, and begged: "Miss, don't alarm the old lady!" Be...... It's the mother-in-law of the outer court! It's because they can't see the little ones who are liked by their masters when they first arrive, so they teach the little ones a lesson......"

Even the mother-in-law in the outer courtyard was dragged in......

"Mother-in-law?" A sneer overflowed at the corner of Su Xue's mouth, and she asked, "Which mother-in-law?" ”

The cuckoo was forced to retreat slightly by Su Xue's momentum, and he stood for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "That's it...... Mrs. Wu. ”

Su Xue's eyes flickered, and she looked at the swollen left side of the cuckoo's face with a smile, and said, "How did I not know that Mrs. Wu's hands are so strong?" Half of your face is swollen after a slap, look at those finger prints, I'm afraid that ordinary servants don't have that much strength. Since Mrs. Wu is so energetic and has nowhere to go, then punish her to go to the Huanyi yard to wash her clothes for a month! ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Qianrou and said, "You immediately go to the outer courtyard and give orders, and say that it is my intention." Mother Hu was still complaining that the maid who was washing clothes was too lazy to move when it was cold, and Mrs. Wu went. So that they can all be relaxed. ”

Qianrou looked at Su Xue's expression carefully. It's not just for show. He nodded and went down.

Du Juan's expression was even more frightened, she opened her mouth to stop Qianrou, turned her head to meet Su Xue's cold gaze, she hesitated, did she dare.

Qianrou went and came back, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Wu came to the old lady's courtyard in a rage and knelt outside the courtyard to shout grievances.

At that time, the old lady had just taken a nap, and Su Xue took a wooden comb to lightly buckle the old lady's scalp. The old lady closed her eyes leisurely and continued to recuperate.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and the old lady frowned in displeasure, and said in an urn voice: "Okra, go and see who is arguing?" ”

Su Xue raised her eyes and glanced outside, her hand still didn't stop, she only smiled: "Often, lightly buttoning the scalp is also helpful in treating grandmother's head wind, but grandmother only has this peach wood comb here, if it is replaced with a horn comb, the effect will be better." ”

The old lady raised her eyebrows after hearing this: "Then wait a while and let Shuning send someone to the capital." This horn product is still good in Beijing. ”

That's what I'm talking about. Okra led Mrs. Wu in.

As soon as Mrs. Wu entered the house, she fell to her knees, put her hands on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted: "Old lady, third lady, the old slave is really wronged!" ”

"Wronged?" The old lady looked puzzled, "What wrong?" ”

Mrs. Wu pretended to wipe her tears, sat up straight, glanced at Su Xue, and then said: "The maid cuckoo in the third lady's room said that the old slave beat her, that is clearly a bloody spray, how dare the old slave beat her?" The old slave has been taking care of the New Year's goods purchased from the house in the outer courtyard, and before sunset, he has to sort out the list and hand it to Qin's mother to check for the second wife, the old slave has not stopped for a moment, how can he still have the heart to beat people? The maids and women in the outer courtyard can testify that the old slave really didn't beat the cuckoo! ”

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she leaned down deeply and stuck to the ground.

Thinking that Qianrou said that the third lady was going to punish her for washing her clothes for a month, she felt cold all over.

On such a cold day, wouldn't the laundry be frozen? Those are all rough jobs done by low-level maids in the house, and she has been in the outer courtyard for several years, so she has long stopped doing those jobs. In addition, she is old, and her hands can't stand the cold, so the government will not arrange for her to do that.

After listening to Mrs. Wu's cry of grievances, Su Xue closed her eyes leisurely, put down the wooden comb in her hand, went around to the old lady's side, and said, "Mother Wu, you said you didn't beat the cuckoo?" ”

At first, Mrs. Wu thought that Du Juan had the courage to deliberately bully people because of the support of the third lady, so she also had some resentment towards the third miss. But now when she heard Miss San ask this, she seemed to see hope, and hurriedly knelt down to Miss San and said, "The old slave is telling the truth, please be aware of Miss San!" ”

Su Xue nodded lightly, hummed, and called Qian Ju and said, "Go and call Du Juan and confront Mother Wu face to face." ”

Seeing that Su Xue had no intention of protecting the cuckoo, Mrs. Wu became even more excited, and kowtowed to Su Xue several times.

After a while, Qianrou led the cuckoo over.

The redness and swelling on the cuckoo's face had not disappeared, and he timidly walked in and knelt down, glanced at Mrs. Wu, as if she was very scared, and moved away a little.

Mrs. Wu looked at the cuckoo, her eyes were full of resentment, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed the cuckoo's sleeve, and said hatefully: "Where did I offend you?" Why do you want to hurt me like this? If I offend you, you can tell it, and I will apologize to you! ”

The cuckoo was so frightened that he shrank back, and shook his cuffs a few times before finally breaking free from Mrs. Wu's hand.

The old lady looked at the redness and swelling on Du Juan's face, and also opened her mouth: "Du Juan, you are so honest with your life, what's going on?" ”

After the cuckoo broke free from Mrs. Wu, she moved some distance away, her eyes swayed quickly from side to side for a while, she bit her lip and lowered her head, and still said: "Back to the old lady, it was Mrs. Wu who hit the small one." Said that the little newcomer doesn't know the rules, so I want to teach you a lesson......"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was so excited that she was about to step forward and beat someone again, and shouted: "How can a good girl be born full of nonsense? Do you dare to swear to the sky, are you afraid that the sky will hit five thunders! (To be continued......)
