Before long, a bowl of black medicinal soup was brought to me again, and I pinched my nose and drank it all in one go, trying to hold back my nausea and not trying not to spit it out.

"Girl!" Xiao Ye hurriedly brought a piece of honey cake to my mouth, "Eat something sweet, it won't be so bitter." ”

I frowned, "It doesn't work." "No matter how sweet the honey cake is, as soon as you swallow it, the bitterness in your mouth will come up again.

"Then eat a few more pieces, when I was a child, I drank medicine, and I also relied on this honey cake to suppress the bitter taste."

I disagreed: "Then the medicine you drink must not be so bitter!" ”

"Who said that!"

"It was meant to be!"

He chuckled, touched my head and said, "In addition to the Dispelling Evil and Strengthening Yang Pill in this world, there is really no medicine that is sweet, but the Dispelling Evil and Strengthening Yang Pill can't cure your disease, it's really a poor little girl!" ”

After two days, I finally couldn't stand the bitterness and refused to drink any more medicine.

"Girl, you know that this medicine is bitter, and you don't want to drink it. Otherwise, if you drink medicine in the future, the master will drink with you and suffer with you until your body is healed, okay? ”

I don't know if the bitterness of drinking the medicine together will really be halved, but I actually think that the medicine is not so difficult to swallow. I suddenly found that in addition to the gentleness and pampering in the eyes that Xiao Ye looked at me, there was also a kind of tolerance, care and caution that I had never seen in his eyes before. And this kind of look, I have seen it more than once in Yun Cheng's eyes looking at me, this kind of look makes me feel at ease, so that I can choose to believe and rely on it wholeheartedly. In the past, I thought it was a kind of care and affection similar to that of my father and brother, and it was family affection! But later I learned that it was not family affection, but a kind of love that was so selfless that even if I gave my life, I didn't care about anything in return!

Xiaoye is not busy, he talks to me every day to relieve boredom, and drinks medicine with me, and his life is full and happy.

Until one day, when I went out at night, when the maidservant girl walked in with only a bowl of medicine, I suddenly felt inexplicably lost in my heart. Because I promised to drink the medicine obediently in the night, I still got up from the bed and reached for the medicine bowl in the tray. But the bowl was really hot, I was so scalded that the bowl took off my hand, and the soup in the bowl went out.

"Ah......" With a scream, I saw Shangguan Yan'er standing not far from my bed, still covering her face with her hands, and a plate of hibiscus cake in her hand also rolled to the ground.

"Miss!" An older woman heard Shangguan Yan'er's screams and hurriedly ran in. Without asking, he slapped the only servant girl in the room, the one who brought me medicine, back and forth in the face several times. The maid's cheeks were red and swollen, but she didn't dare to make a sound, nor did she dare to dodge, but tears still couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.

"Stop!" I shouted to stop the woman: "I accidentally took out the medicine, it has nothing to do with others, if you really feel sorry for your young lady, what you should do is to help her back to take the medicine immediately, instead of taking an irrelevant servant girl here to vent her anger!" ”

"Cry! Do you still have the face to cry? But the woman slapped the servant girl even harder, as if she hadn't heard me at all, and scolded and said, "The cheap maid who came out of the beggar's pile dared to bully the master." If the young owner of the village treats you as a person, you are the heroine of this house? Don't forget, Miss Yan'er is the young lady of Murong Villa recognized by the owner and the owner's wife. As for the other foxes, even if they have the ability to climb onto the bed of the young master, at most they are a nameless and shareless maid, but they don't want to snatch the position of Miss Yan'er, the future hostess of Murong Villa! ”

She was obviously referring to Sang scolding Huai, scolding me for coming out of the beggar's pile, reminding me that even if I was covered by a small night, I would always be inferior, let alone try to replace Shangguan Yan'er, the future hostess of Murong Villa. And the servant girl is serving me, not to mention how much the medicine splashed on Shangguan Yan'er's face, Shangguan Yan'er was not seriously burned, just she ignored Shangguan Yan'er's injuries and directly attacked the servant girl, and she had already made it clear that her position was incompatible with mine. And every slap she slaps on the handmaid's face is actually my face!

"Nurse ......" Shangguan Yan'er called the woman lightly and said, "It's just a slave, why do you bother to treat her anger, it's not worth it!" ”

"Miss! You are too simple and too kind, this dares to be so presumptuous. It wasn't until the maid's face was beaten red and swollen that the woman who was called a nurse by Shangguan Yan'er stopped her hand, I thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't want to, she actually shouted outside: "Come on!" Pull out this who murdered her master and beat her to death! ”

"Who dare!" I let out a loud shout, and the two big men who rushed in from the door were so frightened that you look at me, and I looked at you, and finally looked at the woman who called them in. Although I was injured and couldn't get out of bed, I was also a prince for two years, and this momentum was still a bit deterrent.

The woman was also startled at first, but after a while she came back to her senses, pointed to a servant girl who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy, and said sharply to the two big men: "Don't pull this out yet!" Or do you want to taste what it's like to be beaten to death with a stick! ”

When the two big men heard the woman's words, they glanced at each other, and after getting the decision in each other's eyes, they stepped forward and dragged the maidservant girl who had already kowtowed to the forehead and walked out of the door. No matter how much I threatened with words, I was no longer moved by them.

Only then did the woman snort at me with satisfaction, carefully picked up Shangguan Yan'er and turned to leave.

Soon I heard the maidservant's miserable wail, and the sound of the sticks beating against the flesh, but soon the wails were quieted down, and at last I could no longer hear them, but it took a long time for the sticks to cease against the flesh.

I know that the servant girl was killed, not because she had done anything wrong, but because she was the one who served me, and she did not dare to touch me, so she took out her anger on her, and caused her to lose her life in vain.

After about half an hour, Xiao Ye pushed the door in from the outside, and when he saw a mess, he joked: "Which one didn't open his eyes and provoked the little girl, causing the little girl's hair to be so hot, and he also dropped the medicine bowl?" Or did the little girl think that the master didn't accompany the girl to drink medicine, so she vomited with the master? ”

I said weakly, "You say yes, right?" ”

Xiao Ye walked to the side of my bed, sat on the edge of the bed, brushed the long hair covering my eyes from my forehead behind my ears, and said softly, "Why don't you ask someone to clean it up." With such a strong smell of medicine, you can actually stand it! ”

"The person who can scream has been killed!" Xiao Ye pointed out to me a total of four maidservants, and all three of them took advantage of Xiao Ye to run away to be lazy, and this honest guard was ordered by the woman to be killed with a cane. really responded to the sentence: "Good people don't live long!" ”

The smile on Xiao Ye's face suddenly froze, and he shouted, "Someone!" Immediately, a black-clad masked man appeared in front of him like a ghost.

This is...... Dark Guard! I didn't meet, Xiao Ye actually set up a secret guard beside me.

"What's going on?" Sayo asked the man.

The secret guard said respectfully to Xiao Ye: "Back to the young master, it was the maid who put the hot medicinal juice on the face of the lady who came to give the girl hibiscus cake, and the lady was damaged, and the nurse was extremely angry, so she ordered the maid to be killed!" ”

"He's lying!" If it weren't for my weakness, I would have stepped forward and pointed at the secret guard's nose and retorted loudly. At this time, I could only sit on the bed, stare at the man, and tell Xiaoya: "That medicine was obviously accidentally sucked out by me, and it has nothing to do with the maidservant......

"The young owner atons for his sins!" The guard quickly fell to his knees, and I thought he was going to change his tune and admit that he had lied. But he didn't want to, so he changed his words and said: "It is true that the girl made the maid pour the medicinal juice on Miss Table's face, but the girl is the person who the young farmer likes, and the nurse is afraid that the young farmer will be disappointed and sad when she learns about it, so she only killed the maid with a cane, and ordered her subordinates to hide from the young owner that the girl instructed the maid to murder Miss Table." ”

"He's talking nonsense!" A chill suddenly arose in my heart, it stands to reason that the dark guard should be loyal to his master, but this dark guard told such a lie to Xiao Ye to slander me, can someone instruct the dark guard to lie to his master? Or is this secret guard already disloyal to his master? If this secret guard has a heart, or has been instructed by someone else to take my life. Wouldn't I be able to die at his hands at any moment?

"Master!" A soft call was another servant girl sent to me by Xiao Ye, and behind her, there were two other handmaidens who ran to lazy.

"Where have you been?" Sayo asked her.

"The girl told the slave to go to the best rouge shop in the city and pick a box of the best rouge, but the slave didn't know which rouge was the best, so she delayed for a while." As she spoke, the servant girl stretched out her hands hidden behind her back, and sure enough, she took out a box of brand-new rouge.

Xiao Ye didn't even look at the rouge in the handmaid's hand, and asked another servant, "Where did you go?" ”

"The girl said that she had a headache, and she was afraid that she would delay her illness by going to the doctor now, so she ordered the slave to go to the concierge to keep an eye on it, and the doctor who invited Miss Cousin to treat the injury was intercepted here to treat the girl first!"

At this time, Xiao Ye's face was already obviously displeased, and she asked the last maidservant, "What about you?" ”

The girl told the slave maid to go to the courtyard where Miss Cousin lived to keep an eye on, and if the young master went to Miss Cousin's side, she would say that the girl's wound was painful, and pull the young master to the girl. The girl also said that sooner or later the lord would bow down under the girl's pomegranate skirt, and the future hostess of Murong Villa would be none other than her! If the slave maid puts the young master in Miss Cousin's yard today, it will... Just ......" The maid shut up in the middle of speaking, and looked at me nervously, as if I was some kind of flood beast that would eat her at any moment.

"So what?" Xiao Ye shouted to the servant, "Say! ”

"Just ......" The maid seemed to have finally mustered up her courage, and said with the appearance of a strong man with a broken wrist: "Just give the slave and maid to the cripple who picks dung!" ”

"The girl also threatened the slave!" The servant girl who lied and said that she went out to buy rouge for me, hurriedly echoed: "The girl said that if the slave and the maid are obedient and obedient, the slave and maid will be indispensable in the future, and if the slave and maid do not know how to lift, they will sell the slave and the maid to the flower building, and thousands of people will ride ...... and ten thousand people."

The other maid rolled up her sleeves, only to see that the jade lotus-like arms were bruised and purple, and some were faintly oozing blood. She "plopped" and knelt at Xiao Ye's feet, but she didn't dare to touch Xiao Ye's shirt with her hands, and said with tears: "The girl often beats and scolds the slave and maid to get angry...... The latter words were replaced by suppressed crying, but even if she didn't say it, the scar on that arm was enough to explain everything for her.

But that's not true!
