Chapter 116: Suicide by throwing himself into the lake
When Cui'er saw her master asking, she immediately poured out her stomach full of complaints, "Madame customized a gauze skirt for Miss Ruge's best ready-to-wear store in the capital, and five sets were ordered!" The embroidery on it was lifelike, and it looked like a fairy's dress, but it wasn't prepared for you at all. ”
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, Cui'er said angrily: "Miss, you are the lady of the Protector's Mansion, how can Mrs. go past you, this is completely throwing your face on the ground and trampling on it!" ”
"Don't say that again!" Jiang Yuanliu frowned, and scolded Cui'er in a deep voice, Qi Jingxian didn't care about her affairs, she asked for it herself.
Compared with a stepmother who takes care of everything, she wants to be free and easy, so she will take Teng to Dongyuan to make a scene every month, in order to show her attitude to Qi Jingxian, no one should care about anyone, and everyone will have their own way.
"Miss! But you are the lady of the Protector's Mansion, and the glory of the grandfather should be yours, why let Miss Ruge enjoy the glory of the Princess's Mansion! Cui'er said dissatisfied.
Jiang Yuanliu sat up from the bed, and looked directly at the loyal maid in front of her with solemn eyes, she was not interested in the inner courtyard of the Protector Mansion, as the young lady of the Protector Mansion, she was not interested in seizing power.
Therefore, in order to avoid making Qi Jingxian, the Duchess of the Kingdom, think that she is an enemy, Jiang Yuanliu is not in the Protector's Mansion all day, does not participate in internal affairs at all, and the maids in the courtyard do not recognize all of them.
Only because of the fact that the personal maid Cui'er broke into the mansion because of the Praetorian Guards, Cui'er's loyalty to the lord made her look at it twice, and the two became familiar with each other.
It's only been a few days, and this Cui'er is chewing her tongue in front of her.
"The Duchess of the Protector is the heroine of this mansion, Qi Ruge, like me, is the daughter of the master of the Protector's Mansion, why can't she enjoy the glory of the Protector's Mansion? If I hear half a sentence like this again, you will find another job! ”
Jiang Yuanliu's eyes were burning, she was not a fool, she could naturally see that Cui'er was pushing her to fight for power, after all, her identity was here, but she had no interest in the inner house, and she was impatient to intrigue with the women of the house.
Cui'er saw the impatience in Jiang Yuanliu's eyes, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground with a plop, she was very close to Jiang Yuanliu these days, and found that Jiang Yuanliu had an easy-going personality, and she seemed to be completely ignorant of human affairs.
A woman who grew up in the countryside naturally doesn't know how to fight for power.
Therefore, Cui'er has ambitions in her heart, if she can persuade the young lady to fight for power, the identity of the princess of the protectorate will definitely be able to win half of the power in the hands of the lady.
Even if it is only half, it is enough for her to become a maid with a transcendent status in this Protectorate Mansion, and maybe she can also have a chance to get back the deed of sale by virtue of her affection for the young lady.
But at this time, Cui'er came to her senses, she thought too simply, Jiang Yuanliu seemed to have no heart, but in fact she was not stupid at all.
"Miss! The slave and maid were wrong, the slave and maid were just a moment apart, and they were worried that the young lady would be bullied, so they said this, and asked the young lady to spare the slave and maid. Cui'er cried and begged for mercy.
Jiang Yuanliu waved her hand, there is no Cui'er today, and there will be Bi'er Hong'er tomorrow, she is too lazy to teach them one by one, so she said: "You are honestly guarding the yard, how can Mrs. ever send the monthly case of Furong Garden?" I just want to live a peaceful life. ”
"You grew up in the Protector's Mansion since you were a child, and you have been loyal for more than ten years, there is no merit and hard work, as long as you don't make trouble, you take care of the Furong Garden, as a big girl, who dares to bully you?"
Jiang Yuanliu Haosheng persuaded that she herself is a Buddhist character who does not offend me and I do not offend others, of course she doesn't want the maids in the yard to go out and cause trouble, otherwise she will definitely be counted on her head.
"The slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave will never be again." As soon as Cui'er looked up, she saw Jiang Yuanliu's clear eyes, knowing that everything she thought was seen through by Jiang Yuanliu, she couldn't help but have red eyes, Miss was kind enough to spare her, otherwise as long as there was a little rumor, she would die without a place to be buried.
Jiang Yuanliu sighed, she also knew that her innocence was very surprising to others, but her position was not safe, the more unsurprising it was, the more defenseless it was.
'Alright, it's getting late, get me dressed.' ’
Knowing that her young lady was reluctant to come out, Cui'er prepared a light blue skirt for Jiang Yuanliu, the corners of the skirt were embroidered with dark lines, which looked ordinary, but when she looked closely, she was extremely exquisite, but she did not steal the limelight.
"Not bad!"
Jiang Yuanliu stroked the folds on his sleeves, hooked his lips and smiled, and boarded the carriage.
The carriage closed her eyes in public, and Qi Ruge looked at Jiang Yuanliu and smiled slightly, with a trace of pride in her eyes.
"Madame looks good." Jiang Yuanliu greeted with a smile, then looked at Qi Ruge and said, "Sister Ruge, the blue and black under your eyes are a little obvious, it's not a good thing to sleep well at night, where do I have soothing medicine, let someone send it to you at night." ”
"Thank you, sister." The corners of Qi Ruge's smiling mouth were slightly stiff, she felt that Jiang Yuanliu never played cards according to the routine, obviously the two of them had torn their faces, but they could still smile, and they didn't seem to hold any grudges, this person was really thoughtful.
Jiang Yuanliu naturally didn't expect Qi Ruge to think so much because of her own words, she completely felt ashamed of Qi Ruge, after all, fighting in front of the emperor was very damaging to her image.
"Ahem, don't talk nonsense after entering the palace." Qi Jingxian reminded coldly that she didn't want to be nice to Jiang Yuanliu, but Jiang Yuanliu now represents the Protectorate Mansion, if she talks nonsense and angers the nobles, it will definitely affect the Protector Mansion and their mother and daughter.
Jiang Yuanliu smiled: "Don't worry! My mouth must be closed! ”
Still like last time, Qi Jingxian walked in front, leading the two of them all the way forward, and before she reached the palace where the families of the ministers were entertained, she heard a noise in front of her.
Because it was the only way, the three of them could only walk towards the crowd, and they saw a woman in her twenties, dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing in the center in annoyance, and in front of her was a kneeling maid.
She wears a sand-colored short needle Wanzi Baibao satin Guangling on her upper body, and a spring green braided needle Wanshi Ruyi Jinluo skirt on her lower body, which looks pretty.
"I think you did it on purpose! Miss Ben's skirt is all soiled by you! ”
Jiang Yuanliu saw a large pool of stains on the woman's skirt, and understood that it was the maid kneeling on the ground who soiled her clothes.
"Don't meddle in your affairs, that's Ye Chuxin, the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty." Qi Ruge was worried that Jiang Yuanliu would speak up and angered Ye Chuxin, so he lowered his voice to remind.
Jiang Yuanliu snorted out laughing, leaned into Qi Ruge's ear, and whispered: "In your heart, am I just a guy who causes trouble regardless of the occasion?" The maid soiled other people's clothes, and she should be punished, and I am not related to me, so how can I meddle in my affairs. ”
Qi Ruge looked at Jiang Yuanliu suspiciously, this rude woman from the countryside, but she could even make jokes in front of the emperor, and she would even take care of the occasion? It seems that most of the reasons why he didn't make a move because he was not close to the maid.
"You're so cold-blooded and ruthless." Qi Ruge's eyes were full of contempt.
Jiang Yuanliu spread his hands, raised his chin and pouted in the direction of Ye Chuxin, "You are kind and cute, you go and save those maids from the dire situation!" ”
Qi Ruge naturally didn't dare, Ye Chuxin's personality was cold and arrogant, but he was very talented, his father was the prime minister of the head of the literati, if it wasn't for his personality, the position of the first talented woman in the capital should be Ye Chuxin's.
Ye Chu shook his skirt in anger, suddenly walked up to the maid in light blue clothes, picked up the maid's chin with Tuanshan, and sneered: "I know you, you spilled my wine last time." ”
At the last Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, she was also splashed with wine, and when she went to change her clothes, she was taken the wrong way by the maid, and she was knocked unconscious halfway.
"No...... Miss Ye recognized the wrong person, and the slave maid saw Miss Ye for the first time today. ”
The little maid looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was frightened by Ye Chuxin, she trembled, kept kowtowing, her white forehead was hit by the rough stone slab, and she looked very pitiful.
The sound of begging for mercy and crying was not small, and the people around listened to it, and the ladies of the courtier's inner courtyard came and went, and they couldn't help frowning when they saw such a thing.
"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, Miss Ye still don't be angry."
"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother's birthday, it's unlucky to see blood."
The people around her persuaded one after another, Ye Chuxin was difficult to ride a tiger, she threw her sleeves away with a black face, and the little maid got up with the support of her companions, and bowed to the ladies and ladies of each family to thank her.
Jiang Yuanliu looked at it with interest, this little maid is not very old, and Ye Chuxin didn't say anything, one didn't scold, and the other didn't punish her, but the little maid's begging for mercy completely labeled Ye Chuxin as cruel and disregarding the overall situation.
Ye Chuxin is also a guy who doesn't have enough brains, at this time he will leave without saying a word or explaining, if the little maid has three long and two short, Ye Chuxin will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
But she shouldn't be a well-meaning person.
However, it didn't take long for Jiang Yuanliu to go outside to prevent the wind because he was impatient with the communication in the palace, although there were mosquitoes under the tree, it was still much more comfortable than those false flattery.
But as soon as he sat down, Jiang Yuanliu saw two women tugging a few meters away.
"Miss Ye, please spare the slave!" A sharp plea for mercy was followed by a plop and the sound of a woman falling into the water.
Jiang Yuanliu couldn't watch a human life disappear in front of her, so she took off her coat and threw it to Ye Chuxin and jumped down, groping in the pond for a long time before finding someone, but found that the maid in the water was bent on death, and she was inevitably pulled into the water, so she simply knocked the maid unconscious and dragged her ashore.
"Still stunned what to do! Help me! Jiang Yuanliu shouted angrily and reminded Ye Chuxin.
