Chapter Twenty-Four: Beaten
Meng Xiaoran felt more and more that this Xia He was his own person, could it be that Shen Qian had placed it in the mansion? Otherwise, why would you help yourself everywhere, just now she said that the three words "eldest lady" were deliberately aggravated, and it seems that going to Ruxue Pavilion today is going to suffer.
In Linyue Zhai, Chen sat on the couch, picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and suddenly asked, "Is there any movement over there in Ruxue Pavilion?" ”
Lu Yi and Lu Qing glanced at each other, and then stepped forward to answer, "Yes, as soon as the courtyard door of Ruxue Pavilion passed at noon, there was a sound from time to time, it should be the eldest lady smashing things, just now Xia He went to the big kitchen, and ordered Ruhua to make glutinous rice lotus, and now he is going back with Ruhua." ”
Chen nodded, her nails painted with bright red dankou knocked on the table from time to time, and after a while she said again: "You let the girl from Lu Mian quietly go to Moyuzhai, and tell the young master about Ruhua being called to Ruxue Pavilion by the eldest lady, and the rest don't need to be said." ”
Green Yi nodded, walked to the door, opened the curtain and walked out, and said Chen's instructions to Lu Mian, who was guarding the door, and Lu Mian immediately turned around and went out.
Lu Yi looked at her figure and was fascinated, the four of them were promoted after the Chen family brought those who were married and left, and were given names by Mrs.: Green Love, Green Will, Green Sleep, Green Soft, Mrs. was a famous talented woman in Xiangbei when she was not married, but you can know these names by looking at them.
Green has been with Mrs. for nearly ten years, seven or eight years old in this Linyue Zhai service, she still remembers that the lady at that time was gentle as water, spoke softly, and treated people more kindly, I don't know when the lady has become what she is now, hey.
Green sighed, shook her head, and entered the house.
Saying that, Meng Xiaoran followed Xia He into Ruxue Pavilion, and as soon as she entered, she found that the atmosphere was wrong, although she didn't hear any scolding, but everyone in the courtyard seemed to be cautious, she understood, today is a Hongmen banquet, I just hope that her life can be bigger, if Xia He is really Shen Qian's person, he must not die without help.
Thinking like this, the two entered the main house, although the ground was clean, but Meng Xiaoran still found some water traces on the ground, as well as scratches on porcelain tiles, presumably there was a ruthless mess here, this eldest lady's temper is really not small.
Liu Ruxue, who was sitting on the main seat in the main hall, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Meng Xiaoran who was hanging her head, and sneered, "Ruhua, raise your head." ”
Meng Xiaoran raised her head as she said, and a stunning face appeared in front of her, Liu Ruxue's pupils shrank slightly, at this time, where is there any flaw in this face?
The dark complexion before made her whole person look a lot dull, but at this time, her skin was as white as cream, like a fine white jade, and she couldn't find a single flaw, and her already delicate facial features were even more exquisite.
What does it mean that a girl who spends all day in a big kitchen with dirt can still be born like this? It shows that this girl is really born beautiful, Liu Ruxue is the most favored daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with daily brocade and jade food, and constant balsam, not to mention the daily blood swallow and supplements, but she can't compare to a maid!
Liu Ruxue's hands hanging down her sleeves were clenched tightly, and then she let go, looking at Meng Xiaoran with a cold face, "Ruhua, you are so bold!" Why did you make your face look like that when you came to see Miss Ben before? What do you want to do if you pretend to be a ghost? ”
Meng Xiaoran hurriedly lowered her head, "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid do things in the kitchen every day, and it is inevitable that they will be stained with oil smoke and dust, last time the slave and maid came to see the eldest lady without paying attention to the clean cleaning, and the slave and maid knew that there was something wrong, so this time they came carefully to comb it, and they didn't dare to stain the eldest lady's eyes again." ”
"Humph! What a sharp-toothed girl! Come on, give me a slap! Liu Ruxue suddenly made a difficulty, Meng Xiaoran couldn't believe it, since she was a child, even if she was an orphan, no one dared to slap her in the face, how could she bear it?
"Miss, the slave doesn't know what's wrong with the maid, which makes the eldest lady angry?"
Liu Ruxue sneered, "Miss Ben wants to beat a maid, is it difficult to explain to you?" After speaking, he shouted at the mothers-in-law who came to hear the news: "Don't do it quickly!" ”
When several rough mothers-in-law heard this, they immediately stepped forward, one of them held Meng Xiaoran's hands, Meng Xiaoran has martial arts, even if these mothers-in-law are not her opponents no matter how strong they are, just when she couldn't help but want to make a move, she saw Xia He standing next to Liu Ruxue shaking her head at herself, and she suddenly remembered Shen Qian's words, "If it is...... Miss Liu makes things difficult for you, you can bear with it, but you can rest assured, you will not let you worry about your life. ”
Meng Xiaoran endured it, when the first slap was thrown on her face, she couldn't help but shed tears, a fishy sweetness welled up in her mouth, her ears buzzed, in the past twenty-two years, she has not shed a tear when she is tired and tired, but when her dignity is trampled on like this, she really can't help it, her hands are clenched tightly, and the stinging pain in her palms comes, constantly reminding her to hold back.
"Papapa" slaps came down one after another, the originally stunning and delicate face instantly swollen, the corners of the mouth cracked, and the blood flowed, Liu Ruxue looked at Meng Xiaoran like this and was finally satisfied, and finally shouted to stop.
"Okay, bring me the glutinous rice lotus root, I want to see what kind of dim sum it is, and my cousin will be full of praise." Liu Ruxue sat on the seat and commanded, her face full of pride.
Xia He walked to Meng Xiaoran's side, his eyes couldn't bear it, he picked up the food box on the side, and brought out a plate of glutinous rice lotus root and sent it to Liu Ruxue.
Liu Ruxue picked up a piece and ate it, nodded with a smile, "Yes, not only is she good-looking, but she also has a pair of skillful hands." ”
As soon as the words fell, the jade chopsticks in her hand suddenly fell, Liu Ruxue's face changed, and she covered her stomach and screamed, "Ah, my stomach hurts so much!" ”
Meng Xiaoran let go of her already bloody hand, sneering in her heart, she thought that Liu Ruxue would be fine if she beat her to relieve her anger, but she really underestimated the ruthlessness of this young lady, thinking of Wan'er before, now her fate is probably worse than Wan'er.
Liu Ruxue was so "painful" that she couldn't straighten her waist on the side, and the maids immediately rushed to ask for a doctor, and poured water, and no one paid attention to Meng Xiaoran, who was beaten to an inhuman shape.
Mother Xia walked in at this time, and as soon as she came in, she cried loudly, "Oh, my eldest lady, why is it so miserable?" I was only killed once a few days ago, how long has it been, and I was drugged again, Miss, I'm sorry for you, you left so early, entrusted the eldest lady to the old slave, the old slave didn't take good care of the eldest miss, the old slave should be damned......"
Mother Xia is Liu Ruxue's nurse, and she is also the dowry brought by the Lu family from her mother's family, like sisters, Meng Xiaoran lowered her head and sneered in her heart, the master and servant sang and harmonized very well, if she guessed well, Liu Yingyuan must have come over.
Sure enough, after a while, he heard hurried footsteps, and Liu Yingyuan's voice came with concern, "What the hell is going on?" ”
In the inner room, Xia's mother ran out at this time, kneeling straight in front of Liu Yingyuan, "Master, please be the master of the eldest lady, the old slave grew up with the young lady since she was a child, and followed her to the prime minister's mansion for more than ten years, the young lady had a hard life, and she left just after giving birth to the eldest lady, and entrusted the eldest lady to the old slave before she died, and the old slave has been doing her best for more than ten years, but who knows that these days, the eldest lady has been repeatedly framed by evil slaves, and today she has abdominal pain again, the eldest lady is now fifteen years old, if the daughter's family falls into the root of the disease, How will you live in the future? ”
The expression on Liu Yingyuan's face changed several times, from worry at the beginning to guilt, and finally to anger, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The maids around all knelt on the ground, and Dongshuang had to stand up at this time, "The eldest lady was fine just now, and she wanted to eat a snack after lunch, so she asked us to go to the big kitchen to ask for glutinous rice lotus. ”
Meng Xiaoran's heart was cold, this maid was really powerful, but just a sentence involved both the lady and the young master, the young master would naturally not be suspected, but the lady couldn't get out of it.
Sure enough, as soon as Dongshuang's words fell, Liu Yingyuan looked at Chen who was following him with some dissatisfaction, Chen sneered in his heart, but his face pretended to be surprised, "Master, the concubine is really wronged, such as making glutinous rice lotus for me, I think it's good, so I asked her to make a copy and give it to the young master, he studied very hard all day, who knew that the eldest lady would be like this after eating." ”
Liu Yingyuan glanced at him and didn't speak again, his blade-like gaze fell on Ruhua, who was kneeling on the ground and hanging his head low, "Ruhua, you tell me clearly, what's going on?" ”
Meng Xiaoran raised her head, Liu Yingyuan couldn't help but be startled when she saw her face at first glance, for the first time in her life, she felt that her daughter was a little ignorant, Chen stood aside and saw that Meng Xiaoran's originally stunning face was beaten like this, and he couldn't stand it, so he looked away.
Meng Xiaoran's red and swollen eyes saw the look on their faces, and he sneered in his heart, can't stand it? I'm going to show you!
She wiped her eyes, wiped the tears that had already dried up, and "cried" at Liu Yingyuan: "Master, the slave maid is at fault, a few days ago, the slave maid sent snacks to the eldest lady, because the kitchen was dirty, her face was covered with black ash, today the eldest lady wants to eat glutinous rice lotus, the slave maid specially cleaned up and sent it over after it is done, the eldest lady saw that the slave maid was different from before, and felt that the slave maid had the intention to hide it...... "Her words were not finished, but who in the audience could not understand?"
Hum! Do you know how to act? Who wouldn't be able to act? Whether Liu Yingyuan believes it or not, she just wants to let these maids who came with her hear what kind of person their eldest lady is!
Liu Yingyuan glanced at the little guy beside him, and the people in the room retreated, leaving only a few cronies, he walked to the top and sat down, looking at Meng Xiaoran who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were cold, "Ruhua, you say it again just now, what is going on?" ”
