Chapter 281: Midyear Festival
Su Wanyue's little face turned red, and she was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
This Mo Niang actually said this kind of thing to herself in front of so many people, and she was so light! Anyone with a discerning eye can see how much courage it took for her to say such a thing, and she really didn't want to be cheeky, but Mo Niang was not moved at all.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Su Wanyue, who has always been arrogant. I was almost forced to wash those dirty clothes today, and I didn't have anything to eat at night! She couldn't have imagined that Mo Niang would be so true to her words, saying that if she didn't give food, she really didn't have any affection at all.
Is she really not worried that when she leaves here and recovers her identity in the future, she will be severely punished?
Su Wanyue looked at Mo Niang eating the dishes indifferently, and she was speechless. She can see it very clearly now, at least at this moment, Mo Niang will not have the slightest feeling in her heart.
She gritted her teeth, unwilling to entangle with Mo Niang any longer. She can see through it, even if she says more, it won't have the slightest effect. How could this woman be determined to insult herself in front of so many people?
After Su Wanyue realized the existence of this problem, she glared at Mo Niang fiercely, as if she was a little puzzled, stomped her feet again, turned around and went straight back to her yard.
With a loud bang, Su Wanyue slammed the door of her room with her backhand. Since this door was not the best quality door in her original room, it looked a little old, and there was a thin layer of dust on it. Being thrown so hard by Su Wanyue, the door let out a wail, and then there was a hint of squeaking, which sounded a little dull.
Su Wanyue didn't care, she glanced at the somewhat old wooden door, a little deflated, and couldn't help kicking it. The wooden door made another noise, and even shook slightly, and it looked like it was going to collapse at any moment.
Su Wanyue noticed that the wooden door was unbearable, she bit her lip and stopped tossing the door. If she kicks the door badly, Mo Niang will definitely humiliate herself in public again, and when the time comes, how can she get off the stage!
Thinking like this, she sat sullenly on her hard bed, sulking alone.
"Grunt-" There was another sound in her stomach, Su Wanyue touched her belly, her willow eyebrows also drooped, and her arms hung down a little weakly.
She had never experienced this feeling of hunger before, and as long as she wanted to eat all kinds of delicious snacks and fruits on weekdays, the maid would cut them and put them in front of her, so she didn't need to worry about being hungry at all.
Now, she has fallen to the point where she can't even eat, which is undoubtedly another blow to Su Wanyue.
She's really hungry.
But Su Wanyue knew that no matter how uncomfortable she was, it would be impossible for her to push open the door and find something to eat. As long as Mo Niang is still outside, she will never go out to eat! Even if she Su Wanyue starved to death, she would not beg that bad woman again!
In Su Wanyue's heart, Mo Niang's image has risen to the level of a wicked woman, let her do hard work, not to mention the hard work, and don't even give her food, is this a human thing?
But Su Wanyue obviously forgot, firstly, she did not work at all, and secondly, in the morning, she also agreed to Mo Niang's conditions, if she didn't work, she wouldn't eat, and Mo Niang didn't force her to work. All this was also happily agreed by Su Wanyue herself, and now that it has become like this, it is not Mo Niang's responsibility at all.
However, according to Su Wanyue's temperament, even if the whole world is wrong, she is not wrong.
Su Wanyue sat on the bed in a daze, the noisy sound outside gradually became quieter, thinking that they should be almost full. Just when Su Wanyue thought that she could be at peace, there were some sounds outside the door.
Immediately mixed with the voices of several people, Su Wanyue heard Mo Niang's voice.
I only heard Mo Niang say: "It's rare that everyone gathers together for dinner today, so I will have a good rest tonight, and I will allow you to get up later tomorrow." ”
When those maids heard this, they all let out bursts of cheers, and seemed to be very supportive of Mo Niang's words.
Su Wanyue couldn't help but pout, why did they get up late, today is not a day.
But Mo Niang continued: "Although it's not a good day today, but the Midyear Festival, no matter how bad it is, it's a festival, have you all eaten well?" ”
Those maids are full at the moment, but they are not as afraid of Mo Niang as they are on weekdays, they all responded, and there was a trace of joy in their voices. Presumably, because they didn't have to wake up so early the next day, they were able to sleep a little longer. After all, this is indeed a great thing for them who get up early all year round.
It is estimated that the place where this group of people sat was in the courtyard outside Su Wanyue's gate, so she could hear them clearly.
I don't know which maid suddenly said: "Mo Niang, you should have been in this laundry room a long time ago, did you also spend the Midyear Festival here before?" ”
Su Wanyue only heard Mo Niang say: "Yes, I also spent time here before, many of you should be newcomers, and you shouldn't have heard the stories that have been handed down in the laundry room before." ”
As soon as she heard Mo Niang mention the previous story, a group of little maids looked at her curiously, and those who were anxious couldn't help but ask: "Mo Niang, what is the story before the laundry?" ”
Mo Niang glanced at the maid and didn't blame her, but said with a hint of mystery in her expression: "Do you really want to listen?" ”
The little maid seems to have realized that this may not be a good story, but curiosity still prevails.
"Mo Niang, tell me about it, we're curious."
"Yes, yes, just say it."
Mo Niang cleared her throat and lowered her voice: "A long time ago, I also heard this from the previous director. In the laundry room, there was a very beautiful little maid, who used to be the daughter of a big housekeeper in the house, but because she did something wrong, she provoked the master at the time, so she was demoted to the laundry room. But the maid relied on her own appearance, and did not want to work in the laundry room at all, and always bullied the other little maids, who did not like her very much. ”
When those maids heard Mo Niang say this, they seemed to empathize, and they frowned one after another, condemning the little maid.
"How could she do that?"
"That's it, what's the use of being pretty, it's not that I've been relegated here."
Mo Niang didn't care about the comments of these maids, she nodded and said: "I thought so when I heard it at the time, because that little maid always doesn't work and often hides in her room, and those maids don't like her, so no one will take the initiative to talk to her at all." It wasn't until some time had passed that someone realized that it seemed that they hadn't seen this little girl for a long time, and she seemed to be missing. ”
Hearing the disappearance, the maids couldn't help but shake their bodies.
"Where's that little girl?"
Mo Niang glanced at the maid who asked the question, was silent for a while, and continued: "After those maids found out that the little maid was missing, they went to her room to look for her, but they didn't see her either. After some time, while they were carrying water, they scooped up a handful of long black hair with a pink ribbon tied on it. A maid immediately recognized that it was the little maid's favorite hairband to wear on weekdays. ”
"Ahh......h
Mo Niang said faintly: "After discovering the long hair, the maids were scared and found the guards guarding the door to salvage the well. They thought they would find the body of the little maid from inside, but after fishing for a long time, there was nothing in the well, and the little maid disappeared inexplicably. ”
The maids didn't know where she went, but no one cared. Until one day, when a maid was fetching water at night, she saw a woman dressed in white by the well, and she found that the woman's face was miserable and white, but she looked exactly like the little maid! The little maid screamed and asked the maid to return her life. The maid was so frightened that the bucket fell to the ground, turned and ran, not daring to look back. ”
"Huh? Isn't that little maid dead? ”
"It's scary!"
Those maids all screamed in fear, and looked at Mo Niang with some fear.
Su Wanyue sat on the edge of her bed and listened to Mo Niang's speech. Hearing her say this at this moment, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes were dyed with a look of fear.
It's a big night, how could Mo Niang tell such a story! She didn't want to hear it at all! Although Su Wanyue was very scared, her curiosity made her can't help but listen, not to mention, she couldn't cover her ears, so she could only let these sounds invade her ears.
Mo Niang looked at the maids who looked a little scared, quietly glanced at the closed door next to her, and then continued: "That night, since the maid saw the little maid, she couldn't sleep all night long, and she always dreamed of that scene. Her nerves also became tense, and she spent her days saying things that others couldn't understand. The maids were a little afraid of her, and slowly began to distance themselves from her. ”
After some time, the maids found that the strange maid was missing, and a few days later they found the body of the maid from the well, and the maid had a pink ribbon tightly clutched in her hand. That ribbon was the hairband on the head of the missing little girl. ”
When Su Wanyue heard this, she only felt a chill that spread from the soles of her feet to her heart.
