Her eyebrows and eyes are lowered, and her little face is plain, not like before, with eyebrows and powder, and lip grease.

Lin Su'e saw her younger siblings staring at the maid, and then she noticed that the sour dried apricots were not given by Yunzhi.

She explained with a smile, "Lingxiu, this girl may have a fate with us, a few days ago I went to Miss Xu's appointment, and met her on the way, she was not happy, she was a rough girl in a small family, and she was not able to be tortured by the housewife, I was not angry for a while, and brought people back." ”

Miss Xu? This is the third time I've heard my sister-in-law mention that Miss Xu.

Tang Yanning looked at Lingxiu, who was standing behind her sister-in-law, frowning and pondering.

The sister-in-law thought she was unhappy, and said: "Brother and sister, do you blame the sister-in-law for being arrogant and unhappy, if so, then I will send Lingxiu away and send it to the village." ”

Tang Yanning smiled, "Where did my sister-in-law say, my sister-in-law is kind-hearted and saved people, how can I blame it?" ”

Lingxiu was sent away by her younger siblings, and on the day she was sent away, she happened to be absent and didn't see Lingxiu's face.

The younger siblings said that Lingxiu missed her mother and cried frequently at night, and Xiaoxi, who was in the same room with her, secretly told her a few times, saying that Lingxiu's sister wanted to go home and miss her mother.

She couldn't bear it, so she made her own decisions, gave twenty taels of silver, and let her go home for reunion and share her family with her mother.

Lin Su'e sighed a few words after listening to it at the time, with her mother alive, everyone wanted to be closer, and she also knew that Lingxiu's mother treated her well, and it was understandable that the little girl would think of her mother, so she didn't say anything at the time, just send it away, it has no impact in the house.

Originally, I took her with me at the time, but I also saw that she had nowhere to go, but now that she has a place to go, let people go.

As soon as she heard that she was going to send it to the villager, Lingxiu immediately burst into tears, knelt at Lin Su'e's feet, and said in a choked voice: "Big lady, big lady, please, please, don't send me away, slaves and maids are rough maids, fire girls, it's okay, please don't drive slaves and maids away." ”

She wiped her tears as she spoke, looking so pitiful, and turned to Tang Yanning and kowtowed, "Second lady, second lady sent Lingxiu back to her grandfather's house to visit her mother, Lingxiu was grateful, but Lingxiu didn't expect that her grandfather's family didn't want to see the slave maid, so please, beg Mrs., leave the slave maid, the slave maid really has nowhere to go, the slave maid is willing to be a cow and a horse in this life, and serve the two ladies loyally." ”

She knocked her head quite seriously, but she didn't make a sound, and she was reluctant to ring her head.

But this appearance is enough to deceive the kind-hearted lady.

Immediately, the eldest lady asked her not to knock and stand up and talk back first.

But Lingxiu squirmed, looking like the second lady didn't nod, she wouldn't get up.

Tang Yanning chuckled, as she wished, "Get up, what are you doing is kowtowing and begging for mercy, I don't know and think that I didn't send you back for reunion with kindness, but treated you harshly." ”

She was in the pavilion like this, kowtowing and crying miserably, and the broken-mouthed maid saw the spread and thought she was a mean master.

Although the second lady's tone was gentle, she felt cold inexplicably, and hurriedly said: "The second lady is kind to the slave and maid, how can she abuse the slave and maid, the slave is stupid, the slave and the maid have done something wrong, please punish the second lady." ”

Lin Su'e didn't hear the coldness in her younger siblings' words, and was busy playing a round, "Hurry up, silly girl, the second lady has let you get up." "Let's take a book

Lingxiu got up at this time and stood aside resignedly, just as when she first came to the Gu Mansion.

Tang Yanning asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, where did you meet Lingxiu?" When this girl left, I gave twenty taels, but in the countryside it was enough to buy myself a decent dowry, why was she sold as a maid later? ”

She asked about the concern, Lin Su'e did not doubt it, and said in detail: "Hey, when I passed by a jewelry shop on Lehe Street, I happened to meet everyone onlookers, pointing and talking about the girl like a good show, it was also a pitiful, originally, I didn't plan to be nosy, but listening to the voice of the girl who kept crying was a little familiar, so I was curious and followed to take a look, and this time I knew that it was an evil lord who was bullying the maid, and it was Lingxiu who was bullying." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Su'e sighed a few words, "Brother and sister, don't you see how ruthless that master is, Lingxiu's little face is all blue and purple, hey...... After returning to Gu's house, Lingxiu said that only her mother was good to her in her grandfather's family, and her uncle was like her, at first she brought twenty taels of silver back, and her family was kind to her, and the latter twenty taels of silver were quickly spent by the family, and her uncle was fierce, and finally sold her privately in order to pay off gambling debts for ten taels of silver. ”

At that time, when she saw the miserable appearance of the crying maid, Lingxiu also saw her, and immediately crawled over, tugging at the hem of her skirt and shouting for help.

Her body was trembling, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, her hands and face were full of scars, and she couldn't bear to grasp the hem of her skirt like a life-saving straw.

Lin Su'e was kind-hearted, and this maid was originally from her own house, so she came out stronger, and finally bought Lingxiu for twenty taels.

still put it in the house and be a second-class maid.

After Tang Yanning heard this, his tone also revealed self-blame, "Ah, Lingxiu is so hard, I knew it earlier, so I didn't follow her wishes and sent her away." ”

Lin Su'e sighed, "My brother and sister don't need to blame themselves, who knew that her family would become like this?" I've heard her uncle gamble a little before, but I never thought that I would fall deeper and deeper, and my humanity would be gone. ”

Tang Yanning glanced at Lingxiu, who was hanging his head, and sighed, "Yes, people's hearts are unpredictable, in this world, for money, how many people have destroyed their conscience, and they will take revenge." ”

She glanced at Lingxiu when she said this.

Lingxiu tried to be steady, not showing a trace of panicked expression, and hung her head obediently and skillfully.

Lin Su'e didn't hear her voice, and when her younger siblings were also emotional, she followed two sentences.

Tang Yanning asked, "Then how does this girl's sister-in-law plan to arrange?" ”

When she left, the original job was naturally replaced by someone else.

Lin Su'e said: "I have already arranged it for her, it is still the original work, and I will do it with Xiao Huan who came up from behind, and expand the scope of some work." ”

That's still in the Radiance Garden.

Tang Yanning blinked his eyes, looked a little naughty, and said: "Sister-in-law, there is a lack of a second-class maid in my yard to sweep, and the empty garden behind is also short of someone to take care of, it is better to put Lingxiu in my garden, Lingxiu has been with us for a long time, and I also trust it." ”

Lin Su'e nodded and smiled, "Okay, it's not all the same in your garden and in my garden." ”

She turned her head and said to Lingxiu: "Thank you Second Lady, the work in the Second Lady's courtyard is easy." ”

Lingxiu hurriedly squeezed out a grateful smile, stepped forward to thank him, and then went back to stand, beating a drum in his heart.
