Lan Shuying finished the meal seriously, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Yueping who was standing on the side lightly.

The latter, aware of her gaze, flickered and drifted to the ground with trepidation, and the hem of the cotton skirt trembled slightly.

"You envy me, you are afraid of me, and you pity me......" Lan Shuying's voice sounded faintly, this was not empty words, but a synthesis of Guo Yizhen's entire memory of Yueping, plus what she saw with her own eyes, and finally summed it up.

Yueping's face changed drastically, and she threw herself to the ground with a thud, arguing again and again that she didn't dare to think like that.

She thinks that her heart is like a mirror, and with Guo's arrogance, the first two points may be laughed off, but the last one - she is a poor subordinate, what qualifications does she have to pity Guo's as the master?

Let's worry about ourselves first!

"Get up and speak." A woman's voice floated overhead.

Yueping stood up unsteadily, still not daring to look at her, this pitiful appearance looked like a quail drenched in the rain, very depressed.

"I saw that your face was not good before, is it because Sister-in-law Xiang has arranged too much work for you recently?"

It was clearly a concerned tone, but Yueping was so frightened that she quickly shook her head.

Lan Shuying said casually: "That's your own problem." ”

This...... When Yueping heard this, her heart was even more bitter, Madame must have to take her under the knife today? Could it be ......

She turned countless thoughts in her heart, and finally bowed down respectfully, lowered her eyebrows, and actually accepted the words: "It's the slave's fault, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

Lan Shuying stared at this girl who was only twenty-eight years old, and after more than ten seconds, she suddenly chuckled.

This girl has never been stupid, and it is precisely because she is not stupid that this reaction makes her even more unhappy.

Because Yueping was clearly mentally prepared to be kicked out of the Zhou Mansion.

Previously, Lan Shuying deliberately mentioned Sister-in-law Xiang for temptation, and Yueping's answer directly took Sister-in-law Xiang out, even if it might be "Guo Yizhen" deliberately looking for trouble, she also took it with all her might. Illustrate...... In this little girl's heart, Sister-in-law's ability is greater than Guo Yizhen's.

If she really drove Yueping away, today's incident would reach Sister-in-law Xiang, and she might get more severance pay for Yueping.

Where does Sister-in-law Xiang's money come from? Naturally, it was approved by Zhou's mother.

Where did Zhou's mother's money come from? That's naturally ...... used all kinds of things dug from Guo Yizhen's hands from the head.

"Yueping, how long have you been here?"

Yueping replied hesitantly: "The slave came in February, and today, it is exactly eleven months old......"

"Then you should know that I haven't had a personal servant, do you know why?"

"Slave...... Ignorance. Yueping's forehead began to sweat.

Lan Shuying's face was expressionless, her knuckles clasped a few times, and it was very rhythmic, as if it hit her heart.

"There was one before I left home, and I grew up with her, and treated her favorably everywhere, until one day, she stole my things." Lan Shuying paused, her voice deepened, "That little gadget is not worth much, but she accidentally knocked over the candle and burned the portrait of my mother, which is the only one, which is a big regret in my life." ”

Beads of sweat flowed down and condensed on her chin, and Yueping's palms were hidden under her long sleeves, curled up tighter.

"Today I found the second person who stole my things, you say, who could it be?"

The beauty had sharp eyebrows, she sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and picked Yueping's chin with one index finger, forcing her to look at herself.

After only looking at each other for a few seconds, Yueping couldn't hold it anymore, and trembling took out a magnolia hairpin from the mezzanine of her clothes, her face like dead ashes.

Lan Shuying glanced at the hairpin and lightly spit out three words: "I've rewarded you." ”

Yueping was stunned, thinking that she had misheard.

Lan Shuying withdrew her hand and said impatiently: "Don't you understand the words, what belongs to me, you can't steal it, as for what to do with it, it's my business!" I won't take you to see the official, from today on, you follow me, double the monthly money, I will let Master Zou teach you to practice martial arts, there is only one request......"

Taken by her momentum, Yueping listened dumbfounded.

She said, "As long as you are in this courtyard, no one is allowed to enter my room." ”

This anyone, of course, includes the mother and son of the Zhou family.

She was really tired of the old woman who took advantage of the danger to come and search the house, and after a few days of free time, she had to go and get back the things she had lost, and she didn't want to run away.

If things are not tight, you can't lose face at all.

As for Yueping, this little girl actually inadvertently witnessed Zhou's mother's robbers, Lan Shuying was watching in the sea of knowledge at the time, and saw her hesitate for an afternoon before walking in and taking away a silver hairpin that was the most worthless among Guo Yizhen's many jewelry.

"Can it be done?"

Seeing that she looked like she was still in a fugue, Lan Shuying added: "If you don't want to, then ......."

Before the words "see the official" were spoken, Yueping had burst into tears, knelt down gratefully and kowtowed repeatedly.

Promoted this girl from the maid in the inner courtyard to a personal maid, she still held the handle of Yueping stealing the master's property in her hand, in Yueping's heart, she was obviously more afraid than respectful, Lan Shuying slowed down her tone, and asked again if Yueping had any difficulties recently.

She remembered that Yueping's family had no boys, and she depended on her grandmother and mother, and those two people were not in good health.

Guo Yizhen has too many memories, maybe he can't remember clearly, the reason why Yueping is willing to stand up for that witch Gu crime is because this is a girl who knows how to remember her grace.

After Guo Yizhen became the county monarch, her treatment soared, and the whole person was fluttering, and one day she turned out a piece of jade pendant with an average color, and felt that it was not compatible with herself, so she gave it to Yueping who was passing by. At that time, someone in Yueping's family was seriously ill and was the most short of money, so she quietly took the jade away and solved the urgent need.

But in Guo Yizhen's dream, she herself is still not happy, how can she care about a little girl?

Without the matter of appreciating jade, Yueping could only watch her family die of illness, she would not hate Guo Yizhen who did not know because of this, of course, it was impossible to take the blame for her.

A drink and a peck, there is a reason.

……

When Yueping cried and told her about the situation at home, Lan Shuying already knew it in her heart, asked her about her grandmother's illness, and casually told her a prescription.

are all cheap medicinal materials, and she can definitely afford to pay her monthly money, Lan Shuying didn't mention letting her pay her monthly money in advance, if she was too good to her all of a sudden, it would make this girl suspicious.

"I studied medicine when I was at home, and I don't dare to say that Changxiu County should not be able to beat me, if you are not at ease, just take it to the hospital and ask." She raised her face, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and she still had the familiar arrogance of Yueping.

Yueping didn't know much to read, so she hid the note that was half of a symbol and a typo in her chest, and suddenly said, "Madam, a few days ago, the slave saw the old man take a prescription to Steward Xiang, and he also told Steward Xiang to be careful. Madame had just kicked them out before dinner, and they had gone to the garden to discuss matters. ”

Lan Shuying nodded, not surprised, and signaled that she could go out and do her own work. Yueping wanted to say something, but she looked at her eyes very worriedly.

Sister-in-law Xiang is a relative of the Zhou family, and she colluded with Zhou Guo to drug Guo Yizhen, which makes sense. That bowl of medicine should have been identified at this time, and it depends on which one of the dead ghosts is going to be pushed out by Zhou Zhou.

"Milk candy, look at what Zhou Jing and Sister-in-law Xiang are doing."

Milk candy has not yet recovered to its peak, it has been absorbing the power of rules to fill itself after it came, and the monitoring function has been slightly affected, and for the time being, it can only see the picture within a radius of ten miles, which is enough for the current situation.

In the picture, Xiang's sister-in-law was stunned in the garden, and Zhou Jing was walking towards the backyard with two stout mothers-in-law, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to Yueping in the corridor and shouted, and the two mothers-in-law immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed over and tied Yueping with a rope.

Lan Shuying raised her eyebrows.

It's okay, she just accepted Yueping as a personal maid, so she was beaten as a substitute for the dead?

She rolled over and got out of bed, her body was a little uncomfortable after not moving for a few days, and when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she could see Yueping struggling at this angle, and she was about to be dragged out in a few meters.

"Stop!"

Zhou Jing was taken aback when he saw that it was her, and put on a smile that he thought was handsome, and made a gesture to come over to help her: "Why did the lady come out, but the noise made you rest?" It's windy outside, so I'll help you back to your room. ”

Lan Shuying avoided his hand and said coldly: "What did Yueping do wrong, why did you tie her?" ”

Zhou Zheng really pushed the bowl of sterilization pills on Yueping's head, and said it vividly.

Lan Shuying deliberately looked suspicious: "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Zhou Jing's face did not change when he answered, and his heart did not beat, "Someone came from Shengping Street and specially told me, several doctors there said that it was a sterilization drug, which was very vicious, but fortunately, you didn't drink it, lady!" My husband was really annoyed when he heard this, and after a thorough investigation in the house, I found that the culprit was right in front of me! ”

He pointed at Yueping, who was gagged by a cloth towel and shook her head desperately under the clamps of the two mothers-in-law.

"Let go of her, she was wronged." Lan Shuying looked at the two mothers-in-law first, but the two didn't pay attention to each other at all, she sneered in her heart, and simply pulled out the piece of cloth in Yueping's mouth.

"Madam, Yueping is not drugged! That medicine is ......"

Lan Shuying glanced at her, and Yueping hurriedly swallowed the words behind.

It took a lot of effort to find a scapegoat with such conditions, how could he let it go easily, but before he could speak, suddenly a maid came over and said that Mrs. Du was here.

Mrs. Du? Who?

Zhou was confused, still wondering which of the people he knew was surnamed Du, and Lan Shuying had already thought of the Mingyue Lou Oiran, and quietly let the toffee take a look, and the plain-clothed beauty waiting in the front hall was really her.

How could she come, did she come specifically to find Yiyi? Lan Shuying's impression suddenly broke a little bit.

The maid also said that Mrs. Du had come to her on a special trip.

"Yueping, come in and help me change my clothes."

After a bit of grooming, she changed into clothes that could see guests, relying on Guo Yizhen's good foundation, Lan Shuying did not put on makeup, only moisturized her lips with lipstick, and had a slightly pale face, with a beaded gold hairpin obliquely inserted in the bun, which was light and sick, adding to the style.

Seeing Mrs. Du, Lan Shuying keenly saw the exploration in the other party's eyes, and there was a trace of sympathy that was too late to put away.

Sympathy again.

She shook her head to herself.

In her early years, Mrs. Du was sent to Mingyue Building, because she was clear, but she asked for eloquence and knowledge more than those prostitutes who sold their bodies.

It stands to reason that this should be an eight-sided and exquisite character, but when getting along, Lan Shuying found that the other party had a bright temperament and was very straightforward.

It seems that the reason why this lady was always silent in Guo Yizhen's original fate was probably just because she didn't speculate with Guo Yizhen.

She came here for the bowl of sterilization.

"Mrs. Lao is worried, I am really grateful, to say that there are indeed a few people in my heart who doubt, but they are just ...... I don't dare to say. ”

Madame Du looked at her with more and more pity.

is the same woman, she understands Guo's situation after a little thought, which of the Zhou family is the wife of the main house, who is clearly treating her as a cash cow, and even the housekeeping rights have been taken out, how can the Guo family have a good life at home?

Instead of asking her directly who she suspected, Mrs. Du told a story.

The hero of the story is a prostitute.

When she was young, she was both beautiful and artistic, famous in Xiaojiang, and a bright moon in the eyes of many men.

……

When Lan Shuying heard this, she thought that Mrs. Du was talking about herself.

"Later, when she was old, she was ransomed by a merchant and made a house."

Merchant? That's not her story.

Madame Du's tone became more and more gloomy, and her face was clouded.

But the merchant did not love her, he only loved her money. When she got married, she realized that the businessman's business had long since failed, and just because he was considerate to her, she foolishly took out her savings to help him. He was getting worse and worse for her, and she thought it was because he was too tired, so she looked around for connections, just hoping to help him. ”

The end of the story must be tragic.

Lan Shuying already had an understanding in her heart.

“…… His business gradually improved, and he became kind to her, and the woman gradually emptied her savings, perhaps she herself saw something, and she wanted to give him a child to save his heart. ”

Child......?!

Lan Shuying suddenly looked directly into Mrs. Du's eyes, and the other party nodded, like a butterfly that couldn't stand on the edge of the flowers and leaves and fell low.

"She couldn't get pregnant. But she used to be a clean man, she has always been well maintained, and she has never hurt her body, how can this be? She finally began to suspect the person next to her pillow and asked a famous doctor from other places to diagnose and treat her, only then did she know that the bowl of tonic soup she drank every month after she got married was actually a decoction for contraception, and after taking it for three years, it was impossible for her to get pregnant in her life. ”

"Do you know what the merchant's explanation is?"

Lan Shuying shook her head.

Mrs. Du said abruptly: "He didn't explain, because she was useless." He designed her to lie in a room with her family, and justifiably divorced her. ”

She wiped away her tears and finally said, "She is my teacher and my stepmother." She taught me her talents, sent me out of the building, and not long after drinking my wine, she committed suicide by hanging herself. ”
