The corners of Su Yexi's mouth rose, her eyes were as plain as water, and with a stroke of her hand, the leaves slipped from her hands, and she lightly opened her lips: "Do you think that if you know so much about Gu Qingwei and betrayed her, she will easily let you go and let your parents go?" Cuizhu, you must be too naïve. ”

"Mother, sister...... Yes, Aunt Gu won't let me and my relatives go easily, how could I be so stupid......"

Cuizhu's face was pale, muttering to herself, the words fell, Su Yexi was not talking, planning to leave, Cuizhu pounced, knelt in front of her, grabbed the corner of her skirt tightly, kept kowtowing, burst into tears, and prayed: "Miss, please, save my family, my mother is weak and sick, my sister is still young, it doesn't matter if I die, just ask the eldest lady to save my family, please......"

Su Yexi lowered her eyes and looked at her, she couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of sarcasm in her words: "Why do you think I have the ability to save your family, and why do you think I will save them?" Cuizhu, have you ever seen someone bite a snake and then don't kill it, will you still save it? ”

"Miss, the slave knows that she is sorry for you, she has done so many wrong things before, but if the eldest lady is resentful, if she hates, kill me if she wants to kill, just ask you to save my parents, the slave and maid will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will be grateful to you, repay your kindness, please, Miss ......"

Cuizhu kept kowtowing, spilling blood, and was washed down her face by the rain to the ground, word by word, word by word, begging her with the last trace of hope, she knew in her heart that once she stepped out of this door, she would definitely die in Huangquan.

But it has nothing to do with her family. What she did was to let her family live a good life, if they had any accidents, what was the point of her enduring humiliation by Aunt Bai's side for so many years?

Su Yexi's beautiful eyes flowed, her expression was indifferent, like a pale butterfly that had lost her breath in the dark, she touched the butterfly on her head with her bare hands, and her lips opened lightly

"Your sister is lovely."

Cuizhu raised her head suddenly, her tearful eyes flashed with hope and joy: "Thank you, Miss, Miss's kindness cannot be repaid." ”

Cuizhu put her elbows on the ground, her head bowed deeply, and she laughed breakingly, she knew that the eldest lady was willing to save her mother and sister, even if she died, she would not have to worry about it.

Su Yexi walked past her indifferently, but Cuizhu suddenly remembered something, looked at her back, and said

"Miss, the slave has something to tell you."

Su Yexi stopped, showed a side face, Cuizhu stabilized her mind and said

"Miss, Mrs. has been seriously ill for many years, but only Aunt Gu is a confidant, and she is willing to say anything, Aunt Gu has a phoenix wings and a step shake, which was given to the third miss not long ago, and that step shake is what Aunt Gu got from Mrs., although it is only a step shake, but the slave maid feels that the step shake has an extraordinary history, like a token.

Lady remember, must look for an opportunity to get back the step shake, although I don't know what the step shake represents, but the slave always feels that this step shake is very important, the eldest lady, must remember the slave's words. ”

Su Yexi looked at her indifferently and said softly

"Why are you telling me?"

Cuizhu kowtowed, and said word by word: "The eldest lady is willing to save the slave's family, the slave is grateful, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to repay the kindness of the young lady in this life, only this is my chance to repay the young lady." ”

Su Yexi glanced away lightly, and said in a warm voice: "I know, I know this matter, I know it in my heart, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll go first." ”

Cuizhu stared at her back, farther and farther away, tears slipped into the corners of her eyes, and she sat on the ground in despair, she gently touched the silver hairpin and smiled bitterly

"Mother, my daughter is not filial, I'm afraid I will never have the opportunity to be filial to you again, mother, I'm sorry, my daughter misses you so much......"

The night of the sky steps is as cool as water, the drizzle outside the window is slanting, and the stagnant water is quietly dripping down the eaves, spreading a circle of ripples on the ground, like sighing and retaining.

Su Yexi sat by the window, dragging her chin with her hands, looking outside, she couldn't help but think back to her previous life, and it was also on this rainy day that Murong Chen gave her the warmth of her only life......

"Wow, Ah Chen, it's so beautiful here!"

The girl was wearing a light green dress, her voice was like a warbler turning under her thick eyelashes, a pair of big watery eyes, looking at the scenery in front of her, Chu Chu was moving and lovable.

From a distance, the mountain forests are green, the wild flowers are blooming, the spring sun is warm and bustling, the mountain flowers are splendid, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scenery is picturesque, it is like a paradise.

Murong Chen gently took her hand, her eyebrows were clear, her eyes were like spring water, and she said softly: "Xi'er, I hope that one day, we can no longer be disturbed by the chaos of this world, and retreat to the mountains and forests with you, don't you like Phalaenopsis very much, we will plant a large area of Phalaenopsis orchids, and live a life without quarrel with the world, idle clouds and wild cranes, okay." ”

Listening to his words, Su Yexi smiled like a flower, full of longing, nodded shyly, and a gentle rain gradually fell in the sky, looking from a distance, the whole forest was like an ink painting, like a dream, the forest where there were only some small wildflowers bloomed all over the field in an instant, and even her favorite phalaenopsis, which was really amazing.

Su Yexi couldn't help but be stunned, the rain drenched her hair and clothes, she unconsciously spread her arms and muttered to herself: "Oh my God, it's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such a magical place." ”

Murong Chen smiled and groaned, picked a phalaenopsis orchid and inserted it in her hair, and said softly and sweetly: "Xi'er, isn't it amazing and beautiful here, it's usually nothing, as long as it rains, all the flowers and trees will be like rebirth, vibrant, and bloom their beauty wantonly." ”

"Xi'er, you believe me, one day, we will live here, no one can find us, no one can disturb us."

"Well, I believe you."

Su Yexi leaned lightly in his arms, smiling like a flower, shy, and curling......

"Miss, miss."

Hearing the voice, Su Yexi retracted her thoughts, and Zhihua walked in panting, with traces of rain on her body, her face was flushed, and she whispered in her ear: "Miss, I just got the news that Cuizhu's body was found in a ruined temple outside the south of the city, it is said that she was disheveled, as if she was ...... by someone."

Zhihua's face turned red, and he muttered that he couldn't speak, Su Yexi couldn't help but chuckle, and his tone was flat: "It's right to be humiliated and die." ”

"Uh-huh."

Zhihua nodded with wide eyes, like a chicken pecking rice, and sighed: "Alas, Sister Cuizhu is also an old man in this mansion, and it is pitiful enough to be kicked out of the mansion, but this kind of thing happened, alas, it's really pitiful." ”

Su Yexi's face was cold, looking out the window, her eyes were cold, Cuizhu's death was what she deserved, what cause she planted, what fruit she gained.

It's just that this Gu Qingwei is really a femme fatale, after all, she is a maid who has been loyal to her for so many years, looking for someone to humiliate her to death, Gu Qingwei, Gu Qingwei, what is your heart made of?

Seeing that Su Yexi was silent, Zhihua asked, "Miss, what are you thinking?" ”

Su Yexi glanced at her lightly, and said softly: "Zhihua, I'm going to go far away, you and Mama Hua clean up and go with me, if someone asks, you will say that everything in the house has not been going well recently, I want to go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and pray for the gods to bless the prime minister's house." ”

Zhihua was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Far away? Miss, why are you going out of the house, are you going to leave today? ”

"Yes, we'll leave in an hour."

"But Miss, it's still raining outside."

Su Yexi looked at the sky, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said casually: "Don't worry, the rain will stop soon." ”

Zhihua looked at the rain outside, scratched the back of his head suspiciously, and muttered: "This rain, it doesn't look like it will stop, but Miss said it will stop, and it will definitely stop." ”

Dye incense garden

"Damn, I was put on a show by Su Yexi's little slut last night, so that I was taken away as a housekeeper, and this morning, it was spread all over this house, and I was laughed at, I was really angry!"

Gu Qingwei waved her sleeves, and all the teacups on the table fell to the ground, her face was blue with anger, and her pupils contracted violently, as if she was trying her best to suppress some anger.

Mama Hua glanced at the maid on the side, and the little maid hurriedly stepped forward and carefully cleaned up the debris on the ground, because she was afraid of pricking her hands, so she cleaned up very carefully, but Gu Qingwei was very eye-catching, she slapped the table violently and scolded angrily

"It's so slow to pack up something, don't hurry up!"

The little maid was startled by the roar, and she couldn't hold back her grievances and not cry, her lips trembled and said: "Auntie, the slave maid is just afraid of piercing her hand, so she cleaned up slowly, and the slave and maid cleaned it up immediately." ”

Gu Qingwei sneered and stepped forward without saying a word

"Slap" slapped her, and in an instant, the little girl's white and tender face became red and swollen.

Gu Qingwei's face was gloomy and could drip water, and she said sarcastically: "Do you think you are the eldest lady of the daughter, you are still afraid of being pierced, you are just a slave, how delicate is your body?"

If it weren't for the fact that you know how to do some medical skills, so that you can serve you in the inner room and be raised with this pampered character, why don't you hurry up and clean up and make a new cup of tea, otherwise, you will have good fruit to eat! ”

"Yes, yes"

The little maid's eyes were full of horror, and she packed up the pieces in a panic, and accidentally cut out the blood on her hand, but she didn't dare to stop, endured the pain and discomfort on her face, packed up the pieces, and walked out.

The maids inside and outside the incense garden dare not come out, all of them are frightened, this Aunt Gu usually looks gentle and virtuous, once something is unsatisfactory, she will start a temper, she will beat the maid out of anger, and the people who are waiting beside her don't know how many have been angry with her.

The little maid walked out with the pieces on the tray, and wiped her tears with her sleeves as she walked, sobbing softly, her delicate little face was full of tears, and the little maids who were cleaning in the yard looked at her, but they didn't dare to come forward.

A little maid who was pruning flowers and trees hurriedly ran to her and said with concern: "Mingzhu, are you okay, did my aunt beat you again, you see that your face is swollen, otherwise I will ask Imperial Doctor Liu to show you." ”

Mingzhu smiled helplessly and said, "Imperial Doctor Liu? Imperial Doctor Liu in the house is to treat the masters, which turn is it for us to be slaves. ”

"Then I'll go out and get a doctor for you to take a look."

"Forget Chuncao, you forgot, I know a little bit of medical skills myself, I can treat this kind of small injury myself, but now the medicine is very expensive, just that little money, if you buy medicine, how much is left, forget it, after a while, it will reduce its swelling by itself."

Hearing this, Chuncao was angry and dissatisfied: "I thought that Aunt Gu was favored, and she was usually amiable, but I didn't expect that she was such a person in private, when would we be able to meet a master who treats us well and is gentle and kind." ”

Mingzhu knocked her head and teased: "Are you dreaming, you, we are just slaves, it's good if the master doesn't dislike you, and I still expect the master to treat you sincerely, so be realistic."
