Rosin Xiang sat at the dinner table and had dinner alone, feeling bored, and she knew that Miss would be kidnapped today, so she went out with her. How boring a person is.

In order not to let the maids in the yard pay attention, I still made a few meals that the young lady loves to eat on weekdays as usual. Without moving a few bites, he withdrew to the kitchen and let the little maids share the food.

pinched the hour to extinguish all the candles in the young lady's room, and closed the door tightly, and saw Song Mengtong carrying Ming Huang into the courtyard.

Rosin Xiang muttered in her heart and had to move forward: "Miss Song is in a hurry to come over so late?" ”

Su Xiangxi's room was already dark and there was no need to move, and Song Mengtong looked inside a few times: "Sister Acacia went to bed so early?" ”

"Miss spent a lot of energy busy with chores in the yard during the day, and she has slept after dinner." Rosin Xiang deliberately lowered her voice, took Song Mengtong aside and whispered: "My young lady gets up with a lot of anger, and many things overwhelm the young lady. Miss Song, let's come back in a few days. ”

What Roin Xiang said was sincere and kind, Song Mengtong left Tingzhu Courtyard with half a doubt. She did inquire about Su Xiangsi's temperament before the reputation was not very good.

Arbitrary, unflattering, alone. And the two people she saw now.

I don't know when my own lady will come back, and if someone comes to disturb me every day, something big will happen.

Zhao sat in the room with a gloomy face, and the maids in the room trembled and did not dare to squeak. The master is angry, and they are the ones who suffer.

"It's really a fox, and the master hooked her as soon as he came back."

Su Xuan was in business, and he knew that he was busy, and it was common for him not to come back for two or three days occasionally. Hearing that the servant had come to report that he had returned, the Zhao family had already ordered someone to prepare dinner.

also deliberately re-groomed, but only waited for the next person to come and tell the master to go to Aunt Rong's house.

Feeling the air condense instantly, cold sweat broke out on the backs of the maids.

There were two aunts in Qingmei Hospital, one of whom had a difficult birth two years ago and went with the child. Now only Aunt Rong is left, she was deeply loved by Su Xuan when she was first carried into the house, and soon became pregnant, but when she was only four months old, she had an unexpected miscarriage when she was unwell.

After getting along for so long, the Zhao family didn't embarrass her much. What should be there will be for her, but she is unwilling to let her husband get old and go to her house.

Especially since last fall, the number of times the lord has been going more often.

Zhao's face was cloudy, and his eyes swept coldly to the point that he shrunk into a ball in the corner.

"Xiaoyi, Mrs. Ben wants to eat lotus seed white fungus soup now."

Xiao Yi trembled, only to promise yes, and secretly rejoiced in her heart that she finally left the house.

"The lotus seeds want the lotus seeds freshly picked in the lotus pond in the west, go now. The cost of the house is high, so let's light a lantern less. If you want to be lazy, you have to ask Liu's mother about the whip in her hand. ”

Madame added another sentence, which made her haggard face pale and bloodless. His body stiffened and he walked out of the yard, and his heartbeat was louder than the sound of drums.

The lotus pond in the west is close to the listening bamboo courtyard, where there has been a maid who has fallen into the water, and the body has been soaked when it is found. Reputedly...... Several others saw wet figures floating in the water at the edge of the pool at night.

This will be the alternation of the second and third watches, and no one will move around the house. The lotus pond in the west never lit lanterns, and the lady deliberately tried to torture her.

Xiao Yi touched the black by the pool and followed the moonlight to grope for picking lotus flowers, and her eyes couldn't help but look around. At that time, the old lady had already invited someone to do the work, but she couldn't stand the whispers of the servants in private.

If you listen too much, you will be afraid.

Nervous, picking a few lotus flowers, he returned to Qingmei Courtyard as if he was running for his life. After finishing the work, he was holding the lotus seed soup, but he was stopped at the door, and was told by Liu's mother that his wife had slept.

Xiaoyi couldn't help but shed tears when she returned to the kitchen, and she sobbed quietly in the kitchen.

Every day in Qingmei Courtyard suffered all kinds of grievances, the maids in the yard also had to step on her, and she did all the rough and dirty work. Sometimes I wish I was dead and would never suffer again.

Just don't have the guts.

Every time she stepped into Zhao's house, she was tense, and she was afraid that something unpleasant to Zhao would spill her anger on her.

Eating badly, and being on duty for several days in a row often leads to poor complexion.

The sleeves couldn't stop wiping the tears on her face, and the other maids could have slept a long time ago, but she was still suffering from these grievances. She doesn't have half a copper plate on her body, and she can't live if she wants to escape from the house.

"Xiaoyi? Why are you still crying here if you don't rest so late? The kitchen door was stuved, followed by a soft voice.

Through vague tears, she saw that the person who came was Aunt Rong, and Xiaoyi's tears flowed even more: "Aunt Rong...... Aunt Rong......"

The little girl cried so fiercely, Aunt Rong was also anxious to put down the tray in her hand and leaned over to help her, distressed: "Madame, is it embarrassing for you again?" ”

As soon as she touched Xiaoyi's arm, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her arm was about to retract. Aunt Rong felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she was slightly surprised when she opened her sleeves.

Both arms were full of whip marks, old and new, and some of them had left scars that seemed to be indelible.

"I've got some broken silver here, so you'll have to sneak out and get some medicine for yourself."

"Aunt Rong can't help it, I can't ask for this." Xiao Yi shook her head desperately, pushing her hands out and couldn't accept the silver.

Aunt Rong directly stuffed the silver into her palm and gently comforted: "Don't be afraid, I won't tell others, my body matters." ”

Xiaoyi still sobbed when she accepted the money, only Aunt Rong cared about her in this courtyard and didn't dislike her. She was generous and never harsh to her subordinates, and her temperament was excellent, and she dreamed of serving in her house.

"Auntie, why did she come to the kitchen in person so late. If necessary, just tell the maid. Only then did Xiaoyi react to why Aunt Rong appeared in the kitchen.

Aunt Rong smiled, her hands were not idle, and she made a pot of hot tea by herself: "I'm afraid that the old man will be thirsty at night, so I will come to prepare tea, and I don't have to bother the maid on duty at night." ”

"Aunt Rong is really considerate of the master......"

"The eldest young master is now the most important thing for the lord and the lady, and he attaches great importance to it. I heard that Mrs. has spent a lot of effort for the eldest young master, and her son is angry, and her face as a mother is also bright. All I can do is serve the good man and make him feel more relaxed. Well, it's not too early. Go back and rest, lest you be reprimanded in front of Madame tomorrow with a serious redness. ”

After Aunt Rong finished talking to herself, she left the kitchen. Xiaoyi was still stunned in place, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and the tears showed a bit hideous on her gloomy face.

——

"Why did the master wake up? The concubine has just made tea, so let's take a sip. ”

When Aunt Rong returned to the house, she saw the man sitting at the head of the bed, still holding a scroll in his hand. The expression is calm and casual, not in a hurry.

Su Xuan drank all the tea, and the elegant fragrance lingered on the tip of his tongue: "Tea is not expensive, but it tastes like, and such good things are only available in your house." ”

Aunt Rong took over the words: "Then the master has to come often, otherwise the concubine will not have a bosom friend to drink tea together." ”

Su Xuan stretched out his hand and pulled Aunt Rong in his arms: "It's a lot more comfortable to come back to you." ”

"The concubine doesn't know the twists and turns in the business, she only knows that the master has great powers, and no matter what, it is not a problem in the eyes of the master." Aunt Rong leaned on his chest, and her tone was full of adoration, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.

Men's self-esteem is troubled, and they love to hear such compliments.

Su Xuan likes a delicate woman like Aunt Rong, who is obedient and sensible, and will not meddle in things. When I was upset, I liked to come to her room to sit down.

is not like a wife, she knows a little about business, and occasionally has to point fingers. Because it is a rich businessman's girlfriend, she still has some posture and loses some of the charm she should have.

Su Xuan fell asleep beside her, Aunt Rong put one hand on her abdomen, and there was no sleepiness in her eyes, let alone affection.
