Chapter 121: Who's Lying
"Ah Cai is responsible for cleaning the yard of the young lady every day, and there are two or three second-class maids under him who can be called, but Pingyang has to let his sister take Ah Cai's place."
"Ah Cai is not a submissive and reluctant character, Pingyang's plan Ah Cai naturally disagrees, not to mention that Pingyang is not qualified to replace the next person."
This angered Pingyang, and he felt that Ah Cai didn't know what to do. Ah Cai has a frail younger brother at home who needs to be taken care of, Ah Cai can't lose the opportunity to be a maid in Ruanfu, but Binh Duong is worried about this, and gangs up with Mr. Bookkeeper to blackmail Ah Cai, if Ah Cai doesn't obey them, Ah Cai won't get a penny of his salary! ”
The maid wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Ah Cai didn't dare to gamble with her brother, she was afraid that her brother would get more seriously ill if he didn't have money to buy medicine, Ah Cai endured it, but Pingyang had to inch by inch and wanted Ah Cai to commit to him!"
"Ah Cai feels very disgusting, but there is no one in the house who can be in charge at all, and Uncle Bao is also standing on Pingyang's side, I don't know what benefits I got to make lard blind!"
The maid's voice choked, and she slowed down for a while before she continued: "The people who should be replaced in the house have been replaced, and the slave and maid are because they are already working in the laundry room, and the work is not easy, so they have not provoked others, and Ah Cai has always said to the slave and maid, let the slave and maid have to endure it, and endure until the young lady and the master come back, and things will be fine." ”
"Ah Cai's words were heard by a small guy and told Pingyang, Pingyang asked people to completely drive Ah Cai out of the house, Ah Cai didn't want to even involve the slave and maid, so he didn't come to find the slave and maid, and after the slave and maid knew, Ah Cai had been driven out of the house for a long time."
"Then why didn't you talk about it when I first returned home, and when I asked if anyone knew where Ah Cai was going, you didn't say anything?" Ruan Cixi patiently waited for the maid to finish speaking, and after seeing her expression eased, he asked lightly.
The maid's face stiffened, and then she said with a look of tears: "The slave was forced, if it wasn't for the young lady who gathered us all here, the slave and the maid wouldn't have been able to see the young lady at all, just now there was someone staring at the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid were afraid, but after all, she still couldn't hold back, so she started from her heart, no matter what, she had to tell the truth to the young lady!" ”
"Pingyang, what she said is the truth?" Ruan Cixi asked the man named "Pingyang", and there was calm in his clear eyes.
Pingyang was a little surprised, he smiled, picked up the corner of his clothes and knelt down, and replied without humility or arrogance: "The thing is indeed true, but this person is not true." ”
When the maid was talking about things, Pingyang, the party concerned, had been listening quietly, without the anger of being exposed, the shame of being punctured, only the indifference of not caring about herself.
He listened until Nguyen Ci Xi asked him.
Binh Duong is that gardener.
"Where's Mr. Bookkeeper?" Nguyen Cixi asked other questions.
"Yesterday, the old mother at home wrote a letter, saying that she missed her son and had returned to her hometown for filial piety."
"Who's in charge of the accounts now?"
"The little apprentice that Mr. Bookkeeper collected."
Whatever Ruan Cixi asked, the gardener replied, and his tone was unwavering, so that people could not hear the emotional state of this person when he spoke.
"Miss, Pingyang is talking nonsense!" The maid in her early days pointed at the gardener angrily, her eyes red, "He killed Ah Cai, it's him!" ”
"Not really." The gardener smiled shallowly, the maid who looked at the smile was a little stunned, and a touch of discomfort crossed her heart, "Pingyang has never done anything unfavorable to Ah Cai." ”
