Chapter 34: Curiosity
She must accumulate this secret, know that Tang Meihua has a handle again, and all kinds of mistakes can be added together, so that she will be hit by one blow and have no chance to turn over.
Pei'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and before she could say anything, she heard the voice of a maid faintly behind her.
"To say that the second miss looks gentle and lovely on weekdays, but it is also scary to be ruthless, Xiaoling did not report to the lotus hall at all, and the second miss sent her to the black kiln based on suspicion alone, it is really ruthless."
"That's it, Xiao Ling has been serving in her hospital for eight years, and she sold it without finding evidence of betrayal, it seems that Miss doesn't talk about master and servant."
Listening to the discussion of the two Yazhan, Zhen Chutian's heart suddenly moved slightly.
It seemed impossible for her to go and change the poison into flour at night, but the speculation that someone had leaked the news sounded normal.
Zhen Yue was also suspicious of this, so she arrested one of the most suspicious-looking people and sent him away.
She can't watch if this Xiaoling is implicated.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian patted her shoulder: "You go and redeem Xiaoling with the silver, don't let anyone see it, take it back to the Lotus Pavilion and arrange her to work in the small kitchen." ”
"Yes." Pei'er knew that her young lady wanted to save this maid, so she went to do it without saying a word.
At night, Xiaoling was brought into the Lotus Pavilion by her through the back door.
Zhen Chutian was drinking tea in the main hall, and when he saw Xiaoling's appearance, he almost squirted out a mouthful of water.
"Ahem, how did you become like this?!"
Xiao Ling was covered in scars, obviously beaten violently, and her clothes were about to shred into strips of cloth.
She shrank back, her face full of tears: "Slave and maid, see Miss." ”
"Don't be afraid, I asked Jiao'er to bring you back, because I heard that Zhen Yue wronged you, so I thought about saving you, you will stay in my small kitchen from now on to work, I will give you double the silver, how about it?" Zhen Chutian could see that she was frightened, and she spoke softly.
The black kiln is full of people who have made mistakes and have not sold their bodies, and those who buy them naturally have to teach them a good lesson, beat them honestly, and then sell them as hard labor.
Xiao Ling suffered such an unwarranted disaster without doing anything, and she must have hated Zhen Yue to death in her heart.
Although she now holds the power of housekeeper, except for being afraid that something will happen to the little young master, Aunt Yue, who will stay in the side courtyard and refuse to come out, the entire mansion is still under the control of Tang Meihua's mother and daughter.
She must find a way to convince people's hearts, not only Xiaoling, but more and more people in the future.
"The kindness of the eldest lady, the slave maid will always remember it, thank you Miss for giving the slave and maid a way to live!" Xiao Ling cried with joy and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, looking very excited.
Seeing that she was so grateful, Zhen Chutian hooked her lips with satisfaction: "Pei'er, you take Xiaoling down to clean the wound first, and I will come over to treat her with medicine later." ”
"Yes."
Pei'er obediently agreed, and walked over to help Xiaoling up.
After a while, Zhen Chutian took out the ointment to heal skin injuries from the system and went to the house where Pei'er lived.
Xiaoling had already taken a shower and lay on the couch, and her back was full of shocking whip marks.
"This ointment will make you heal quickly, and it will scab over in two or three days." Zhen Chutian sat on the edge of the couch and dipped his fingers in the ointment to help her apply it personally.
Pei'er wanted to pick it up, but was stopped by a look from her.
Zhen Chutian personally medicated Xiaoling, and his movements were gentle for fear of hurting her: "This ointment is very cool, and it will make you feel burning in your back later, don't be afraid, just sleep in peace." ”
She instructed gently, sounding like a bosom sister.
Xiao Ling listened to Tingruo and thought of how the second lady treated her before, and immediately couldn't hold back her tears.
Seeing her so sad, Pei'er was startled, and hurriedly asked the reason: "Is it too painful?"
Zhen Chutian hooked his lips and didn't say anything.
"No, the slave maid didn't expect the eldest lady to be so kind-hearted, and she was very attentive to such a lowly subordinate as the slave maid, in the past, the slave maid served the second lady for eight years, and she never received a word of care, only orders and punishments."
When Xiao Ling said this, she couldn't help crying even more.
She had also laughed at the eldest lady with a few maids in the main courtyard before, and felt that this concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion was ugly and stupid, and she deserved to be bullied like this.
But now, it seems that she was indeed wrong.
The eldest lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she is not a bully, she really regrets that she followed the wrong master, otherwise she would not have been angry in the main courtyard for so many years.
"Now that you have come to the Lotus Pavilion, don't mention it again in the future, let me ask you, are you willing to be loyal to me in the future?" Zhen Chutian looked at her seriously, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Even if she chooses a maid for her own use, she must not take it lightly, after all, anyone is selfish and is likely to betray because of all kinds of things.
But now, she just wants to gamble, betting that Xiaoling knows what kind of person Zhen Yue is, and she will not return to the main courtyard in the future.
Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with firmness, and she immediately promised: "Don't worry, the eldest lady is not a fool, she knows who is the real good master, like the second young lady, who wants to kill the slave and maid just by suspicion, the slave and maid will not take another look." ”
"That's good."
Zhen Chutian smiled lightly with satisfaction: "Recuperate, you will know in the future, there are only benefits and no disadvantages with Miss Ruoben." ”
With that, she handed the ointment to Pelle.
Two days later.
Tang Meihua can finally come out of the house.
Hearing that she had been reunited with Zhen Yue, Zhen Chutian of course wanted to join in the fun and let Pei'er take the purchased cloth and send it over.
"I've heard everything outside, but I didn't expect this cheap hoof to be getting more and more difficult to deal with now."
In the hall of the main courtyard, Tang Meihua was holding a tea cup, but she was afraid and was not in the mood to drink it.
Zhen Yue nodded, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect her to be able to blur back, mother, am I too stupid?"
She used to think that she had many means, but after confronting Zhen Chutian head-on, she found that no matter what she did, she was always invincible, Tang Meihua hurriedly reassured: "What stupid words are you talking about, where are you stupid, Zhen Chutian has a lot of eyes, and can always resolve the trap you laid, and now I haven't come out?" Just look at what I do with her. ”
"Yes, mother is the most ....."
Before Zhen Yue finished speaking, she saw Cui Ping hurriedly coming in from outside.
"The eldest lady took something and asked to see her outside, saying that the eldest lady had come out, and she had come to celebrate." Cui Ping said this with a strange expression.
Originally, Tang Meihua was grounded because she deliberately framed Zhen Chutian with Yueshui Jade, but now that she has been released, there is nothing to celebrate at all.
Even if it was a celebration, it was also a reunion between her and Zhen Yue's mother and daughter, which showed that the woman must have another purpose for coming here.
Thinking of this, Tang Meihua was even more jealous: "Let her in." ”
"I haven't seen my mother for almost a month, and my daughter really misses you to death!" Zhen Chutian walked in quickly with a cloth and put things in front of them.
Tang Meihua instantly put away the coldness on her face, and then revealed a kind gaze: "Look at what you are doing here in such a hurry, you..."
Before she finished speaking, she was stunned when she saw Zhen Chutian's face.
At that time, Xue Ying mentioned it to her, saying that Zhen Chutian had become amazing, and she still felt that if it was impossible, how could it be so good-looking if it was really the case now!
Tang Meihua's eyes widened, and there was not only jealousy but also unwillingness in her heart.
In the past, she was very proud to give birth to a beautiful daughter, but after Zhen Chutian healed her scars, she was much more beautiful than her daughter.
No wonder Zhen Yuanshan has been obsessed with his deceased wife for so many years, it turns out that he has such a seductive appearance.
Tang Meihua gritted her teeth, and when she looked at Zhen Chutian again, her eyes were full of hatred that she couldn't hide: "I didn't expect Chu Tian to become so good-looking now." ”
"My mother won the award, but I just healed my scars, and I can't compare with my sister, the first beauty in Beijing." Zhen Chutian smiled embarrassedly and deliberately mentioned this title.
Zhen Yue's face stiffened slightly, and she almost didn't find a crack to get into.
She used to be one of the best beauties in the capital, and those merry men were happy to make fun of her like this.
But now Zhen Chutian is obviously more beautiful than her, but he deliberately mentioned this matter, obviously taking the opportunity to bury her.
Prince, you can get closer to Prince Hua, and now everyone in the capital envies you for being able to meet between the two princes. ”
If it had been changed before, people around her said that the bottle of sweet was between the two handsome guys, she would definitely be happy to death.
But now she can hear even if she is stupid, Zhen Yue is mocking her.
She smiled lightly, and said at the moment: "It's useless to be envious, I am the only one who can get close to Prince Hua, there are only two noble princes in the capital, one is obsessed with me wanting to get married, and the other is not close to any woman except me, what should I do if my sister marries me in the future?" I'm really worried about you. ”
After hearing these words, Zhen Yue was so angry that she almost couldn't sit still.
She has always been jealous that Zhen Chutian can have such a good family affair, but now that she was suddenly mentioned, her face couldn't hold back: "You..." ”
Tang Meihua finally spoke, and said with a smile: "Since Chu Tian is here to celebrate my appearance, don't just talk to your sister, sit down." ”
"Yes."
Zhen Chutian agreed obediently on her face, but she didn't care about her in her heart.
What to say, she is obviously mocking whether it is good or not!
It's really forcibly respected.
Tang Meihua straightened her sleeves and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I can come out today, tomorrow is the day when the prince of the General's Mansion gets married, let's go over together when the time comes, but we have to dress up well." ”
"Dress up?" Zhen Chutian sneered in her heart, but looked at her with curiosity on her face.
Tang Meihua nodded seriously and chuckled: "The General's Mansion is the most noble place in addition to the palace and our Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"And how am I going to dress appropriately?" Zhen Chutian blinked, looking at her inexplicably.
Tang Meihua thought about it seriously, but there was a fine light in it: "Of course, how to dress up and how to come, when the time comes, all the women who will go are the daughters of civil and military officials, how can you dress up well?"
"That's right, what about my sister?" Zhen Chutian suddenly turned his head and looked at the people around him.
Zhen Yue was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly at the signal of her mother: "I, of course I have to dress up well, and when the time comes, I will be more eye-catching than any of us." ”
"Okay, then it's settled." Zhen Chutian raised his chin and put on a victorious look.
Tang Meihua hooked her lips quietly, and covered her eyes: "Presumably there are no rare jewelry in your courtyard, I will ask someone to send you two sets of tiaras, which one do you like to wear." ”
"Really? Thank you, Mother!"
Zhen Chutian got up excitedly and saluted, smiling flatteredly.
System: "Detected that the host is at peace and even looking down on someone." ”
"Of course I look down on this mother and daughter, I know that I have a lot of means, and I still use such a simple trick, do you really think I will be fooled?" Zhen Chutian complained in his heart.
She's not that stupid, she knows what kind of heart this mother and daughter have.
