Chapter 501: Bird's Egg (4)
Xia Cao, who was sent by Narcissus, although she was quite reluctant to run errands in her heart, but she could see the current situation clearly, she didn't dare to jump left and right in front of Zhao Tian'er, after all, the eldest lady was already furious. Xia Cao, who didn't want to ruin her future as a second-class maid, had to be patient and act with power.
Continuing to sit next to him, Li Wenxuan, who was silent, felt Zhao Tianer's abnormal mood. On weekdays, she has always been gentle and virtuous, and rarely gets angry and angry. However, once this matter involves Li Zimo, then small things will become big things to be treated and dealt with. He who understands this, can he not think that she is a beloved son, and Li Zimo is her hard work to conceive for ten months, and the meat that fell off her body is also her life, so she still has to deal with it.
The main reason why Zhao Tianer was so angry was that she realized that these maids in Li Zimo's room were not only derelict in their duties and did not serve their sons well, but also colluded up and down to hide from her. She is extremely concerned about Li Zimo's growth since childhood, so she naturally shows zero tolerance for this kind of behavior.
It didn't take long for Cuizhu, who was already a frightened bird, to break out in a cold sweat all over his body. She was wet with her intimate clothes, and she could clearly hear that in the courtyard outside the house, the four little maids were beaten and cried and screamed, begging for mercy again and again. At this moment, I don't know what to do.
Cui Zhu, who was still kneeling on the ground, with tears on her face, but didn't dare to cry out her voice, the only thing that came to mind was the reason why the eldest lady had not yet issued a double punishment for her worst death. I'm afraid it's still on the identity of my own slave and maid. Otherwise, he would have been dragged out of the board like a dead dog.
"Cuizhu, you are indeed different from the four of them. After all, it was I who took pity on your mother and daughter back then, so I bought you to come to the house. Over the past few years, you have indeed grown up a lot. Zhao Tian'er, who drooped her head, stared at Cuizhu who was kneeling not far away, her voice was calm and then she turned 360 degrees all of a sudden, and her left index finger pointed at the bird's egg on the ground, raising her voice. He said sharply: "The reason why I left you by Zimo's side is that you are more reliable as the domestic slave of our Li Mansion." And that's how you repay me? ”
Cuizhu, who has already cried into tears, is both guilty and scared in her heart. She didn't know how to face and deal with it at all, except for constantly kowtowing to her and admitting her mistakes, there was nothing else. Zhao Tian'er after a pause. The fire in my heart has not been cut off at all. continued: "Although you are only in your early tens, you have not reached the age of marriage, and it is not like the four maids outside who have no relatives in the house, but I can't keep you here." I will sell you now, and I can't bear to separate your mother and daughter, so I decided that after you have received the board, you will be sent to the kitchen, and you will not be allowed to enter the second door again for eternity. If not. Don't blame me for being cruel to you. Did you hear me clearly? ”
Cuizhu suddenly felt that his head was "buzzing", and he was completely confused. On the one hand, I am reluctant to eat and clothe here. pampered, decent good errands and a good life, on the other hand, she can't let go of the increasingly deep relationship between her and Li Zimo, between master and servant, sister and brother. She kowtowed heavily, and prayed so fast that she couldn't be human: "Big lady, the slave knows that she is wrong. Please spare the slave and maid this time! Even if you beat me with a hundred boards or two hundred boards, don't throw me out. Noticing that Zhao Tian'er was indifferent, she quickly shifted her attention to Li Zimo, hoping that he could stand up and say good things for herself, so that she could change the eldest lady's original intention.
In fact, even if she doesn't have this superfluous look and movement, Li Zimo will take the initiative to stand up and say something for her. Don't look at his young age, but he still knows more or less in his heart who treats himself from the bottom of his heart. Li Zimo, who raised his right foot, was just about to take a step forward, but was pulled hard by Zhang Quan, who was standing beside him. The meaning of the little slippery head Zhang Quan couldn't be clearer, but he couldn't do it for Cuizhu and the eldest lady.
Li Zimo, who is extremely assertive, is not the kind of boy who can be swayed by people at will, let alone the kind of temperament that sees the wind and steers the rudder. So, he didn't listen to Zhang Quan's meaning, he already walked out firmly, facing his mother, learning to bow his hands and hold his fists, and in his serious appearance, there was no lack of immature voice: "The child has something to ask for his mother." I hope you can let Cuizhu go, after all, it was the child who asked her to hide the bird's eggs I took from the tree, and repeatedly told her not to go outside and tell the third person to know. ”
And Zhao Tian'er, who could be fooled so easily, did not rush to answer him, but just lightly asked Cuizhu and simply: "Is this the case?" ”
Although he was not already frightened, Cuizhu, who had long been suppressed by the momentum of the eldest lady, was about to become a ball of slimy in his mind. Knowing that Li Zimo was excusing herself, she was even more afraid in her heart that she would make no conceit, and she was afraid that she would incur more severe punishment from the eldest lady, and even her mother-in-law would be affected. For a while, I didn't know how to answer Lu Dao, and I didn't dare to say it openly.
Li Wenxuan, who saw through this little trick at a glance, on the one hand, asked Xiaoshuang who was standing aside to pick up the bird eggs on the ground and hand them over to Li Muxin to play with, and simply told her that she was a kind of bird egg, on the other hand, from Li Zimo's action of standing up to defend Cuizhu, he saw that their master and servant got along well, and the relationship was not ordinary, and he interjected and asked, "Cuizhu, how old are you this year?" ”
Cuizhu's inexplicable question about his master was completely at a loss for the second monk, except for the doubts on his face, he said truthfully: "Slave, I am more than ten years old this year." ”
"It is said that the female junior holds the gold brick, and you are two or three years older than Zimo, so he is holding two gold bricks. That's one piece for the left hand, and another piece for the right hand. Li Wenxuan, who didn't have any sense of ridicule, laughed softly, and expressed his meaning very tactfully and clearly.
After listening to his words, Zhao Tianer could naturally understand that it was his personal attitude. I originally wanted to punish Cuizhu heavily, but I didn't expect things to turn around, so that this little girl also bumped into big luck. (To be continued......)
