Chapter 154: Aftermath
Facing her sharp and clear gaze, Xiao Gu did not dodge, smiled slightly under the flickering gaze, and said, "The dishes and dishes that were removed during the meal are too clean." β
She blinked, smiling a little playfully, "There's not even any soup left, it's as clean as if you've licked it." β
This is a bit presumptuous, but more witty, Ru Yao's eyes widened, and the next moment she couldn't help but laugh.
She smiled and leaned back, her usual elegant demeanor was gone, and her slender figure under the rose-red jacket showed her youthful vitality.
"If you say this to Qingyi and Bihe, they will be ashamed and angry......"
Ruyao said while laughing and coughing for a while, and then it stopped, her snow-white cheeks added a hint of redness, and she drank half a bowl of bird's nest porridge, her spirit was a little more recovered, and she asked: "The little maid who tended to the flower garden......
"She just buried something, and I dropped it."
Xiao Gu answered neatly, but it also shocked Ruyao's heart - the whole incident was controlled by the inconspicuous girl in front of her!
From the beginning of the insight into his own planning, to the timely discovery of the little girl's abnormal movements, and even the change of dishes, the means are clever and traceless - with such a smart and outstanding talent, why is he willing to lie dormant in the big kitchen for many years?
Who is she and what purpose does she have?
Ru Yao's gaze became deep and gloomy, but Xiao Gu looked at her as usual.
There was a long silence between the two.
After a while, Ruyao spoke: "This time it's really thanks to you." β
"It's just a gesture, you don't have to care, Miss."
Xiao Gu was not humble either, and responded lightly, but then said seriously: "Your plan has drawn the essence of the word 'ruthless', but it is not cost-effective to kill a thousand enemies and injure yourself by eight hundred." β
Ru Yao's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, and her eyes were gloomy and sorrowful. Then he turned resolute, "I also know this, but there are many such trivial things in the back house, and little by little is the most torturous, rather than being dealt with by them for many years, it is better to let go and hit with one blow!" β
These words were loud and sonorous, and the pattern in her chest could be seen sonorously, and Xiao Gu also secretly admired her decisiveness.
If Miss Ruyao is a man, she will definitely be able to go out and do a career. Now she is trapped in this deep backyard, and she feels depressed just by imagining it.
"Fortunately, this time finally made the group in the second room suffer a big loss, Mrs. Wang was grounded this time, and those stewards and servants who followed her should also weigh their own pounds."
Ruyao sighed, leaned on the big fluffy pillow, her face showed tiredness and relaxation after the dark battle, but she held Xiao Gu's hand and said solemnly again: "I don't know how to thank you." β
Xiao Gu Zhilu said that she has the following. Just smiled and listened quietly.
Ruyao smiled: "You are a cousin Guangsheng's person, and you stayed here to escape from me, but I didn't expect to get you involved in the incident, I really don't want to go." My mother also has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs. You can go and stay there for a while, and I'll send someone to pick you up when my cousin comes back. β
This is to send yourself away...... Xiao Gu's heart was bright: Ruyao was even more suspicious and suspicious of her curiosity, but she was unwilling to live up to Guangsheng's trust, so she acted tactfully. Please leave the Hou Mansion and live in Zhuangzi temporarily.
This is not only a good intention for the sake of one's own safety, but it is also a clear rejection of people from thousands of miles away.
Ruyao is resolute and introverted, and is unwilling to believe in others. I don't want to investigate at will, so there is only one way: to distance ourselves from each other.
Xiao Gu's smile deepened, and a pair of black eyes were radiant and shining, "I understand Miss Ruyao's beauty." The young master asked me to serve here, you are my master, how can there be any reason to leave the master and live outside? β
Seeing Ruyao's brows furrowed and she was about to speak, Xiao Gu added a sentence in a hurry, "My sincerity and loyalty, Miss, you will soon be able to see it." β
Ruyao was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by this?" β
"The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, there are many things I can do around you."
Xiao Gu got up with a smile, put Ru Yao's finished bowl into the black lacquer tray and walked away, leaving only the thoughtful Ru Yao, looking at her back in a daze.
****
Compared with the tranquility of the Tang Le Courtyard, Wang's Qingqu Courtyard is a rumor, and everyone is in danger!
Wang sat on the couch, his expression was gloomy and sluggish, his eyes were bloodshot and full of anger, and his lips were bitten and bloodied.
"This little slut dares to frame Madame!!"
Yao's mother on the side saw that her master was so angry that her face was like gold paper, and the anger in her heart was also surging, and she couldn't help but scold.
"Mom, please be careful."
Ruzhen, who was standing beside Wang, opened her mouth to stop: "Be careful that the wall has ears, the person sent by Mrs. Tai to escort has not gone far yet." β
When it came to the servants who Mrs. Tai escorted the Wang family, Yao's mother suddenly became dumb - those people had big shoulders and round waists, and their hands were so strong that they were strangled with bruises, which was really too vicious.
Rucan, who was on the side, refused to give up, and shouted in a sharp voice: "You know that Lu Dao is timid and afraid!" What about Mrs. Tai, can she still eat us? She is so protective of Ruyao and bullying our second room, we must not swallow our anger! β
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Wang scolded in a low voice, but Rucan was pampered by her since she was a child, and she couldn't stand the slightest grievance, and her eyes immediately turned red when she heard the words, and she cried and shouted: "Mrs. Tai is biased, and she actually grounded your mother, she is just a house-filler, what qualifications do you haveββ"
Before the words fell, he was slapped in the face!
Wang's snow-white and delicate palms trembled slightly, but his eyes were like an abyss sinking into water, "Mrs. Tai is your grandmother, you are a young lady, you are so loud and slanderous about your elders, are there any rules!" β
Rucan covered her cheeks and looked at her mother in disbelief, but Mrs. Wang didn't look at her, and said in a deep voice: "You go back to your yard and copy the female commandment twenty times, go quickly!" β
"You, you beat me ......"
Rucan cried out, covered her cheeks and ran out of the upper room.
So naΓ―ve and ignorant but open-mouthed, how can I get it!
Wang looked at his daughter's sad back, and suddenly his heart was like a knife, but he was very troubled!
She bit her lip and felt the faint blood and bitterness, and in a drowsy thought, she only heard a crisp and pleasant voice beside her, "Mother, take a sip of tea." β
When I opened my eyes, it was Ruzhen who brought hot tea and was looking at herself with concern.
"You're tired from the day, sit down."
Wang took the teacup and took a sip, closed his eyes tiredly and commanded, but Ruzhen did not take a seat, but knelt down in front of her, choked up: "Mother, it was my carelessness that hurt you!" (To be continued......)
