Chapter 196: I won't let it go
Su Xue's prickly words obviously stinged the eldest lady's ears, she pulled out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, and said: "Sister Xue'er's words are really incomprehensible, that pearl used to be a maid in your mother's room, what you mean by this, is it implying that the people under your mother's nose will not do their duty?" ”
Su Xue's eyes were slightly dark, if Pearl was a responsible person, then she would not have made this scene with the second master.
It's just that the eldest lady deliberately buried the second wife's words, Su Xue didn't dare to take it lightly, only smiled lightly, and said, "Where does the eldest aunt want to go?" Su Xue just said that the second brother's maid had come here, so she wanted to ask her, what was Qianrou doing at that time, how could she not think about it like this, and drink it with her birth and half a summer? ”
When she said the last sentence, Su Xue sank her throat and squinted at Pearl.
Pearl seemed to feel this invisible pressure, and buried her head in a weak heart and didn't dare to look at Su Xue, but the atmosphere around her became more and more depressing, and she couldn't withstand it.
She bit her lip hard, raised her head and explained, "The little one did come over at that time!" Be...... It was the second master who went to the old lady's yard this morning to say hello and saw the bouquet of lilies in the house, and Mother Hu said that it was sent by the third lady, and the second master asked the little one to send a few begonias to the third lady! ”
Su Xue's mind came to mind the begonias in the broken plum bottle.
At that time, it was already inserted into the plum bottle.
When the eldest lady heard this, she said continuously: "Look, look! Our brother Jun still doesn't forget to think about Sister Xue from time to time, but Sister Xue treats kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”
Saying that, the eldest lady simply sank her face and said coldly: "Besides, isn't it just a maid?" It doesn't matter if there's anything wrong with this girl. If it provokes your brother and sister to discord. That's a great sin! ”
The eldest lady glanced at Qianrou lying on the bed in disgust. frowned and said, "Look at this girl, with a bitter face!" In the long run, it will damage the master's luck, and when she wakes up, she will give some money and send it away, and I don't know why the second aunt chose such a person to serve Sister Xue! ”
Even at this time, the eldest lady still didn't forget to take a few words from the second wife.
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Xue, and said with a smile: "Sister Xue, if you are short of maids, just open your mouth to the eldest aunt!" There are so many beautiful and well-behaved maids here for aunts! ”
Su Xue looked at the eldest lady with a light smile, but there was a coldness like ice hidden in her eyes.
"The eldest aunt is kind, and Su Xue understands it. It's just that this maid is still close to the body and easy to use, Su Xue is used to being served by Qianrou and doesn't want to change. ”
The eldest lady turned pale with a sneer, covered her mouth and coughed lightly, shook her handkerchief and said, "Since Sister Xue refuses to appreciate it, then the right to be the eldest aunt is too talkative." There are still a lot of things to prepare for the birthday banquet, and if there is nothing else, let's disperse. ”
The eldest lady has a cold face, and she has the demeanor of a master. While saying this, he glanced at Jiang Yongjun and Pearl, and the two of them immediately understood. He walked behind the eldest lady and wanted to go back with him.
Su Xue stared at her and said, "Slow down." ”
As soon as the eldest lady took a few steps, she heard this sound, and she couldn't help frowning and turning her head, and her face darkened.
The words of the lesson to Su Xue had already reached her lips, but when she turned around, she saw Su Xue coming forward with a smile.
The eldest lady was stunned.
Su Xue walked up to the eldest lady, looked at Jiang Yongjun, and said with a smile: "Second brother's intentions, how can I not know?" I am anxious, so I will speak inappropriately, and the second brother should not go to my heart. ”
With a light smile, he took off a hairpin from his head, pulled the hand of the pearl, and said: "This hairpin is inlaid with double jade beads, which means harmony and happiness, and I will give it to you, which is considered to be a compensation for the second brother......
As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Pearl's hand and whispered in her ear: "You should also be more angry, and add Ding to the house as soon as possible......
Although this was a whisper, the room was not very large, and everyone in the room heard it clearly.
Pearl was still very nervous, and she didn't dare to accept Su Xue's hairpin, but after hearing this, her face suddenly turned red, she raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yongjun in a hurry, and lowered her face in shame.
Jiang Yongjun's lips tightened, his face did not change, and he looked away as if he didn't hear it.
The eldest lady's face turned pale, and she glanced at Pearl with a slight dissatisfaction.
With such a good thing as pearls, if you want to climb the high branches of their big house, there is no door!
But the eldest lady didn't say anything, and like Jiang Yongjun, she pretended not to hear the whisper.
Su Xue took advantage of the pearl's shame and stuffed the hairpin into her hand.
Pearl didn't refuse anymore, bowed her head and said shyly: "Thank you, Third Miss." ”
Su Xue looked at the pearl carefully, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I still have to thank the second brother for sending the begonias, but it's a pity, the flower goblets fell to the ground and shattered, and the begonias were also scattered all over the ground......"
Jiang Yongjun's face stiffened when he heard this, he looked at Su Xue in a daze, and hurriedly looked away.
He has always been keen, and Su Xue's words are clearly pointed.
It seems that it is not only suspicious of him, but that it is him.
Seeing this stiff atmosphere, the eldest lady smiled and said: "Brother Jun, you have to learn to be gracious, everyone Sister Xue has sent hairpins to pearls, so you can let pearls fetch more begonias and send them over." ”
Jiang Yongjun bowed his head and said yes.
The eldest lady said goodbye to the second master with a smile, turned around and walked a few steps, and turned back to the eldest master, and the eldest master went back with him.
When everyone in the big house was gone, the second master sighed softly, pointed to the porcelain bowl, and said to Su Xue: "This is the white porcelain bowl in your mother's house." ”
Su Xue couldn't help but be stunned, raised her eyes and looked at the second master seriously, waiting for him to continue.
The second master paused, and only said, "When this girl wakes up, you can ask again." ”
After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and walked out, and Narcissus also squatted to Su Xue, and whispered, "Third Miss, take this small porcelain bowl away." ”
Su Xue felt a chill in her heart, what about the porcelain bowl in the second wife's room? Pearl was originally the maid in the second wife's room!
What does my father mean by this, is he not going to pursue it?
It's Qianrou who hurt this time, so won't it be on her next time? Dafang is so deceitful, does my father really plan to tolerate it again and again?
Su Xue didn't pull Narcissus and forcibly left the porcelain bowl as evidence, because she knew. Even if it stays. It's also useless.
The old lady was all angry with the big lady. The eldest lord is even more strict with his wife, who else in this mansion can control the eldest wife?
Su Xue looked back at Qianrou, who had just come back from a turn around the Ghost Gate, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but rush to her head.
In the past, there were so many crises, and Qianrou's hands supported her, but again, when Qianrou was in trouble, she was not by her side......
Su Xue bit her lip tightly, the hatred in her heart already made her not know the pain.
"Su Xue, don't worry. If it was really the work of the people in Brother Jun'er's house, I would not spare it. ”
When he walked to the door, the second master suddenly said this.
Su Xue's mind suddenly went blank, and when she came to her senses, the second master had already walked out of the house.
The room was quiet, and from time to time there was the sound of Miaomeng's soft sobs. I don't know how long it took, Su Xue's nose couldn't help but be sour.
She sat weakly on the edge of Qianrou's bed, her fingers deeply embedded in the quilt, but tears were hitting the back of her hand one by one.
"Little ...... Miss? Miao Meng was also sad, but saw Su Xue's tears falling down like beads with broken threads. Miaomeng was a little at a loss.
In Miao Meng's memory, the young lady often cries loudly. The rain is small, and there are fewer tears. It won't be like now, with tears wet on his cheeks, but a resolute and cold expression on his face.
Qianrou woke up near night.
Su Xue, who had been guarding the side, immediately called Miaomeng and asked her to bring warm water.
"Don't say anything, drink some water first, you have taken a lot of raw banxia and ginger water successively, and your body will definitely not be able to bear it." Su Xue said softly, taking the warm water and holding it to Qianrou.
Qianrou was helped to sit up, opened her eyes and looked at Su Xue, and then at Miaomeng, with a touching smile on her pale face.
He took the tea bowl and opened his mouth to say thank you.
But who knew that there were only a few voices coming out of his mouth: "Uh...... Ah......h
Qianrou frowned tightly and began to try to pronounce it, but in the end, those familiar words came out of her mouth with a hoarse strange sound.
She began to tense and choked her neck in disbelief, trying to force herself to speak.
Su Xue was stunned in her heart, could it be that Qianrou ...... Can't speak?
Miaomeng was also anxious, and stepped forward and pulled Qianrou's sleeve and shook it vigorously: "Why can't you speak?" What's going on? What's going on? ”
Su Xue looked at Qianrou in a daze, and for a while, she couldn't say a word, and suddenly felt a gray in front of her.
After many hard work, Qianrou finally realized that she couldn't say a word even if she used the strength to break her voice. She froze, and the tea bowl slipped from her hands, and the warm water poured out of it, wetting a large piece of the pink quilt.
Qianrou clutched her head in disbelief, and a hoarse voice came out of her mouth.
Miao Meng cried helplessly, and said to Su Xue: "Miss, Miss, save her, save Qianrou......"
A double image appeared in front of Su Xue's eyes, she forcibly held back the tears in her eyes, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Qianrou, don't worry, you want to open your mouth to say, ah-"
Qianrou finally calmed down, and according to Su Xue's meaning, she opened her mouth wide and let out a long sigh.
Su Xue could see the damaged tongue and throat in her mouth.
Qianrou seemed to understand Su Xue's expression, and stopped speaking weakly, slowly closing her mouth, staring blankly ahead.
She knew she could never speak again.
Su Xue had tried her best to hold back, but she still couldn't help but let out a sob, she quickly sniffed, reached out to hug Qianrou, and said resentfully: "I won't let them go!" I will pay them back all these sins you have suffered! ”
Qianrou didn't seem to hear this, closed her eyes in despair, and sobbed silently.
Early the next morning, Su Xue sat tiredly in front of the mirror and asked Miaomeng to groom her.
Last night, she stood by Qianrou's bed and said a lot of words, many words of comfort.
She said to Qianrou, even if you can't speak, you will always be my personal maid, and from now on, no one will want to touch your cold hair again.
She said, the reason why you are like this is because of me, those who harm you, those who want to harm you, I will not let go of any of them. You'll see it with your own eyes.
She smiled again and said, Actually, you don't talk much, but it makes no difference.
After a pause, he said, even if you don't speak, I can guess your mind with a look, don't believe you try?
Qianrou, who was lying on the bed, looked up weakly, and a pair of pupils seemed to be like ancient wells without waves. (To be continued......)
