Chapter 75: Selling the House
The old lady frowned, "You were prepared?" ”
Qiao Shi laughed, "The concubine is also thinking about the old lady. ”
Lu Yunyao was still at a loss, not knowing what this meant.
It was only when a servant woman came out behind Qiao and saluted the old lady, saying that she was in charge of checking whether the woman was a virgin, and she panicked.
Examine? How to check?
Qiao Shi smiled and introduced: "This is Mrs. Li, who was invited by the concubine from Qin Xinglou to look at women in the building. ”
What kind of place is Qin Xinglou, Lu Yunyao knows best, and her eyes gradually became frightened when she looked at Mrs. Li.
When the old lady heard Qin Xinglou's reputation, she was puzzled.
It was still the spirit sleeve beside him who whispered a word, and then he suddenly realized.
The old lady was not very happy, "How can you bring people from this kind of place into the mansion." ”
Qinlou Chu Pavilion naturally couldn't get into the eyes of the old lady, and the eyes that looked at Qiao's suddenly became impatient.
But Qiao's still didn't restrain himself, and said with a smile: "What is this, the old lady doesn't know yet, this maid is also from Qin Xinglou, if you really want to count it, she still has some relationship with Mrs. Li." ”
Qiao's eyes were contemptuous, and when he spoke, he pinched and emphasized, full of malice.
As soon as her words came out, almost everyone's eyes in the room focused on Lu Yunyao, which was both incredible and had the meaning of watching a joke.
There were even a few servants and maidservants who heard this, and immediately showed disgusted looks.
Lu Yunyao was almost looked at by these people, and only felt that his scalp was numb, and his whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave on a hot day.
She thought that she had entered the Hou Mansion and become the maid of the prince, and that her previous days had finally come to an end.
But when someone like Qiao's who knew her origin said this, she seemed to have returned to Yaxing, and she just knew that she was sold to Qin Xinglou by her mother-in-law.
The feeling of being lost and not being able to see the future is almost all over again.
The feeling of suffocation that was once suppressed in the bottom of my heart and never showed suddenly came out.
seems to tell her that even if you are now a maidservant of the Hou Mansion, your humble background cannot be erased after all.
If it's just a tooth line, it's just that, but there is another Qin Xinglou.
Even the subordinates look down on them, let alone the most heavily born old lady.
"Didn't you say that you bought it from Ya Po, how did you become a person from such a place?" In the old lady's mouth, he almost didn't want to mention the existence of Qin Xinglou.
It can be seen that it is a place where such fireworks are not waiting to be seen.
Qiao Shi saw the deep disgust on the old lady's face, and smiled even more happily.
"But it's not, when the concubine went to see people, she didn't know that she was born there, and the concubine only heard about it later, otherwise, she wouldn't have been put next to Jie'er."
Qiao was afraid that the old lady would punish her for this matter, so she first found a good reason for herself.
As if blaming himself, he said: "It's also the concubine's fault, coming out of Qin Xinglou and other places, how can there be no means, and it's no wonder that Jie'er was hooked like that, and he doesn't even want to be a relative." ”
She shed a few tears, lowered her head and wiped them with a handkerchief, very lost.
"Alas, it's all because the concubine didn't inquire in advance."
Qiao's is saying that he is wrong, almost every sentence is saying that Lu Yunyao was from a humble background and is not worthy of being a servant girl by the side of the prince.
is also hinting at the old lady that the prince was originally well-behaved, and she seduced her, so she rebelled and said such a bastard that she didn't want to get married.
Everything is poking at the old lady's soft underbelly.
The biggest reason why the old lady looks down on Qiao's family so much is that she is not from a high background, and she is a concubine, and her name is not right.
Qiao deliberately emphasized Lu Yunyao's origin, which was to tell the old lady.
This servant girl was from a more humble background, and she was favored by the side of the son, and it was not right to change her name.
Lu Yunyao's fingers were tightly hooked on her legs, and her thighs were pinched and bleeding by herself, and she didn't even notice it.
She looked at Qiao's family, and hardly dared to associate this person with the lady Hou who had brought her out of her teeth that day.
How kind, generous, and noble Mrs. Hou was that day, people couldn't help but be ashamed when they stood beside her.
How hateful and disgusting Qiao's is today.
With the same face and the same smile, Lu Yunyao didn't know why a person would have such different sides.
From the day she knew that Qiao's framed Shizi, she knew that Madame might not be as gentle and kind as she seemed on the surface.
But it wasn't until today that she found out what kind of person Qiao was.
No wonder Shizi and Aunt Yan both mentioned that she didn't have a good face.
She didn't know it at first, but now she has experienced it herself, and finally knows.
The old lady barely thought long before she spoke.
"How can someone from such a background continue to stay in the Hou Mansion, won't it bring the son of the world to ruin?"
Qiao Shi could barely suppress the excitement in his heart, "What does the old lady mean to drive her out of the Hou Mansion directly?" ”
Lu Yunyao watched coldly, only feeling that Qiao's performance was actually full of loopholes.
How did she be deceived by her before?
"Let's sell it directly." The old lady didn't want to waste time on Lu Yunyao, so she turned her head and waved her hand.
The casual attitude is almost like deciding where a kitten or puppy goes.
Qiao Shi succeeded, smiling, but suddenly thought of something.
"Where is the son?"
The old lady understood what she meant, and glanced at Qiao Shi deeply, "I have my own explanation over there." ”
It was Mrs. Li of Qin Xinglou who stood in place, a little dazed.
Didn't Mrs. Hou ask her to come over and ask her to check if the maid was a virgin? Now this is not checked? Is that none of her business?
"Wait." A cold female voice spoke.
The old lady was going to let everyone go, but she heard this.
She looked at Lu Yunyao who was kneeling indifferently, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Lu Yunyao raised her head and said softly, "The old lady only listens to the lady's words, isn't it too hasty?" ”
Qiao Shi glared and reprimanded, "Shut up! There's no place for you to speak here! ”
smiled at the old lady again: "Why should the old lady listen to her talk, what is her identity, what is your identity, and your face has fallen in vain." ”
Lu Yunyao ignored Qiao's.
She straightened her back, and even if she knelt, she looked like a tall little willow.
"His Royal Highness the Prince said to the slave maid that the old lady was wise and powerful when she was young, and she treated everyone with clear rewards and punishments, so she supported the huge Hou Mansion when the Hou Ye went on the expedition, but now, she didn't listen to the slave and maid to explain a little, and convicted the slave and maid so rashly?"
"If so, how can you convince the people?"
The old lady stopped.
She glanced at Lu Yunyao fixedly, Lu Yunyao was fearless and looked back.
Lingsleeve held the old lady and said worriedly: "Old lady? ”
"Bold! Do you dare to talk to the old lady like this, are you tired of being crooked? ”
