It turned out that she had been lying on the ground for so long, no wonder she gradually felt that everything around her was cold, and the ground was also cold, a chill that penetrated her bone marrow.

But looking around the surrounding environment, this is just a small firewood room, surrounded by firewood, only a small window, and it is still tightly closed, and she can only tell from the gap in the window whether it is night or day outside, and she also saw the moon from that gap just now.

And there was nothing else in the whole firewood room except firewood, not to mention no bed and quilt, not even a haystack, there was nothing that could be used to keep out the cold, even when she was a maid, she had never slept in such a dilapidated room.

The night is so cold, without a quilt, she will be shivering from the cold, and the next day she may be infected with the wind cold, plus the wounds on her face and body, I am afraid that she will die in this firewood room before she can leave the house.

Thinking of this, Cui Ping hurriedly struggled to sit up, wanting to go to a small cabinet next to her to find out if there was anything that could keep out the cold. However, she slowly stood up, and fell back again, the wound on her body touching the uneven ground, making her face twist in pain.

After taking a few breaths on the ground, Cui Ping stood up again, this time carefully protecting herself from falling again, and slowly walked forward while leaning against the wall.

It seemed to be a long, long time before Cui Ping moved to the cabinet, she slowly sat down along the wall, and opened the cabinet with all her might, only to see that there was nothing inside, only a tattered man's clothes.

Cui Ping was completely desperate, this place can't make a fire, otherwise she will burn herself to death if she is not careful, and there is no quilt and thick clothes to keep out the cold, she doesn't know if she can live until tomorrow.

She hugged her body tightly, and then draped the robe she found over her body, nestled in a corner, and tightened herself as tightly as she could, warming herself with her body.

As soon as she felt a little warm, her stomach made a loud noise, Cui Ping touched her belly, and only then did she realize that it was already night, so she hadn't eaten all day.

Presumably, Zhuo's didn't ask someone to serve her food, right? If she were going to call someone now, she would definitely be beaten again, and she couldn't bear to be beaten again.

Forget it, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, I can save my life, escaping from the Hou Mansion is the most important thing, as long as I can survive, there is nothing to eat one less meal.

If she resigned herself to her fate now, she didn't think that Zhuo would be so kind, she would definitely drive herself out after she was tortured and unable to move, and then she would only have a dead end. Therefore, she can only save her life and start a new life by relying on herself.

However, now that she was locked in this small firewood room, the only door was locked, and she didn't even want to get the key from Zhuo's grandmother, and the window was sealed from the outside, and there was only a small gap, and she could never get out of that gap.

Besides, her body is now full of injuries, as long as she is well, Zhuo will definitely continue to torture her, and she doesn't have the strength to dig out of the firewood room with a shovel, this road is obviously not working.

Cui Ping hugged herself tightly, while secretly thinking, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't come up with any way, and finally she had no choice but to decide to take one step at a time!

She didn't sleep all night, and it wasn't until early the next morning, when the sunlight shone through the cracks in the window into the firewood room, that Cui Ping realized that it was dawn, and she couldn't resist the exhaustion, and soon fell asleep groggily.

Just after Cui Ping fell asleep, there was movement in Zhuo's room. Zhuo Shi yawned as he lifted the curtain and got out of bed. Yulan hurriedly stepped forward to hang the curtain on the bed, then lowered her head and asked, "Madame, but now you will clean your face?" ”

Zhuo nodded, Yulan clapped her hands, and a team of little maids walked in with copper basin hand towels and other things, Zhuo changed her clothes under the maid's service, cleaned her face again, and finally sat in front of the bronze mirror and let the maid groom her.

She closed her eyes and asked Magnolia, who was cleaning up the bed, "How is that person doing now?" ”

Yulan naturally knew who Zhuo was referring to, and she hurriedly replied: "The slave maid just went to see it, and she has been cowering in the corner motionless, probably because she is frozen enough!" ”

Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "You didn't give her anything to eat, did you?" ”

"Of course, according to Madame's instructions, I have already told Madam Qin Madame's instructions, presumably Mama Qin knows what Madame means." Yesterday afternoon, she passed the word to Mama Qin.

"That's good, when she's almost hungry, I'll send her something to eat, anyway, I won't die of hunger for a few days, it's good to let her know that I know what it tastes like." Zhuo Shi said casually while playing with her nails, but the grim expression on her face made the little maid who was grooming her couldn't help but be shocked.

They had never seen Mrs. show such an expression, it had always been because she had been bullied for too long, so Mrs.'s temperament had also changed, and she had become a vicious woman at heart.

Yulan nodded and responded to Zhuo's orders. Soon, Zhuo's family was dressed up, wearing a turquoise dress, coupled with exquisite makeup, which made Yulan compliment: "Madam, you are still as beautiful, Cui Ping's hooves thought that she could dominate the crowd, but she didn't expect that she would be no more than Madame at all." ”

Zhuo touched the golden hairpin on the top of his head, and after hearing Yulan's words, he glanced at her with a smile and said, "You are a talker, and you will use your words to make me happy." But also, without Cuiping's roadblock, my heart is a lot happier. ”

"Where is the slave and maid coaxing the lady to be happy, she is just telling the truth." Yulan hurriedly explained, for fear that Zhuo would misunderstand her.

"That's it, I don't care about these things, but what you said today is so good, plus you have done a lot of things for me before, you should be rewarded." At this point, she turned around and took out a pair of bracelets from her jewelry box, handed them to Magnolia, and said, "These bracelets will be rewarded to you!" ”

Yulan hurriedly knelt down, raised her hands above her head and took the bracelet given to her by Zhuo, and thanked her busily: "Thank you, madam, the slave is really ashamed." ”

"You deserve it, just put it away." Zhuo Shi said with a smile, looked at the group of little maids around him, and said, "If you are as capable as Magnolia, this bracelet will not be missing from you, it depends on your ability." ”

The eyes of the maids also showed a glint of joy, and they quickly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, madam, the slaves and maids must do their best." ”

This is what Zhuo wanted, she nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand, and signaled that the remaining maids could go down. The maids rushed out, leaving only Magnolia.

Yulan waited for the maids to go out before she spoke, "Madam, what do you want to use for this breakfast?" The small kitchen has just come to report, and lotus leaf porridge has been cooked in the kitchen. ”

Zhuo's favorite is lotus leaf porridge, and she just wanted to ask Yulan to bring it over, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and then she quickly changed her mind and said: "Let the kitchen people pack the porridge, plus the golden pancakes and side dishes, and put them in the food box, and I will take them to use with my master." ”

Yulan paused for a moment, her master and the young master hadn't eaten together for a long time, how could Mrs. remember to be with the young master today?

As if seeing the doubts in Yulan's heart, Zhuo Shi slowly spoke: "Since Cuiping can't be feared now, then it's time to get the favor of the master, after all, only favor can become a young lady for a long time." ”

Yulan nodded, her master's words were very right, although the lady removed Cuiping and lost one less trouble, but in the process of fighting with Cuiping, it inevitably left a bad image in the young master's heart.

If Madame doesn't take this opportunity to win back the young master's heart, I'm afraid that there will be a steady stream of women like Cui Ping in the future. Madame is already struggling enough to deal with one Cui Ping, if there are a few more, then Madame will be angry sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Yulan suddenly understood, and she quickly nodded and responded, "Okay, the slave will go and tell the kitchen." With that, she turned and walked out the door.

When Magnolia walked out of the room, she saw several little maids gathered around, and she didn't know what they were talking about, so she walked over lightly, wanting to hear what they were chewing on the root of their tongues. But I didn't expect that as soon as I took a few steps closer, I heard a little maid's voice with obvious disdain, saying: "Sister Cuiping is really greedy for money, and she actually opened her eyes and said nonsense for the reward of her wife." ”

"What's this? Have you heard of the original Aunt Cuiping? I heard that she made a mistake and was handed over to Mrs. by the young master to dispose of, or was Yulan the idea she gave to Mrs.! Let Mama Qin torture Cui Ping well. The other little maid hurriedly told her what she had heard.

Everyone covered their mouths in surprise, and one of the maids said indignantly, "How can this be? That's a person, this heart is too vicious. ”

"I've got even more vicious tricks, would you like to try them?" As soon as the maid's words fell, Yulan's voice sounded from behind everyone.

Several maids were taken aback, turned their heads and saw that the person who spoke was Yulan they were discussing, and their hearts were shocked, and they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slaves and maids are idle and have nothing to say the wrong thing, please Sister Yulan don't tell Madame!" Slaves and maids are willing to be cows and horses to repay Sister Yulan's great kindness. ”
