CHAPTER XXI
The twilight is dark, and the cool breeze is bleak.
Xiao Yu leaned on the beauty couch in a daze, her eyes glanced at Sui'er standing behind the screen from time to time, thought for a long time, and her eyes fell on Xiyue, Xiyue is a smart maid, after feeling Xiao Yu's gaze, she knew that Xiao Yu had something in her heart, and looked at Xiao Yu's eyes from time to time to glance at Sui'er, she understood something.
"Spike." Xiyue stood up and called.
Sui'er behind the screen seemed to be in a daze, and the sound of Xiyue made her slightly stunned, and after a few moments, she quickly walked around the screen and walked in front of the two of them, and after saluting respectfully, she waited for the order.
"I'm going to make a decoction for the girl, and you pinch the girl's shoulders and beat her legs."
Since Xiao Yu had a high fever last time, Lang Zhong said that she was even extremely weak and needed to drink decoction for a period of time to recuperate.
After Xiyue said this, after saluting Xiao Yu, she retreated with a salute.
Sui'er was a little at a loss for a while, standing in place and not knowing what to do for a while, she hesitated for a long time under Xiao Yu's gaze before Nuo Nuo stepped forward, hung her head and said softly: "Girl, the slave is clumsy, if it hurts, tell the slave." ”
Xiao Yu responded lightly, Sui'er began to beat Xiao Yu's legs, Sui'er's strength was very gentle, but in the end, there were a few limitations, as if she was afraid of Xiao Yu, and she didn't really make Xiao Yu comfortable at all.
"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Yu's tone was very flat and soft, like a cotton wool floating past Sui'er's ears.
"Slave maid ......" Sui'er was startled, and the movements in her hands were stunned.
"Tell me where you came from, you've been here for a few days, and I haven't even asked you, so you really don't plan to say it?" Xiao Yu's tone suddenly added a bit of sharpness, causing Sui'er's pretty face to sink, and she took two steps back from her dress and knelt down in fear.
Sui'er's body trembled slightly, and Nuo Nuo said: "Girl, the slave maid is just an ordinary person, but the parents died of illness one after another, and the slave and maid were helpless, so they thought about defecting to the girl." ”
The corners of Xiao Yu's lips raised slightly when she heard this, and she played with her white fingers, "The Xiao family doesn't want to raise one living person, even if there are ten more, they can afford it, but if you lie, you can't afford it." ”
Sui'er was a little anxious when she heard this, raised her eyes and explained eagerly: "Girl Mingjian! The slave didn't lie! ”
Xiao Yu fiddled with her fingers slightly, then sneered, and said sentence by sentence: "Sui'er, formerly known as Lixiang, the palace maid in the Beichang Palace, because she helped the master kill someone, the master wanted to push the fault on her, so she escaped overnight, because she didn't have enough silver on her body, she couldn't last for many days, and the jewelry on her body was all rewarded by the master, once she made a move, she was afraid that it would be exposed, and it happened that she knew that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was going to feast on dignitaries, what do you say she would do?" ”
When Sui'er heard this, her pretty face turned pale with fright, and she didn't even dare to look at Xiao Yu, "Girl! The slave couldn't understand what the girl was saying! ”
Sui'er's body trembled more and more because of the fear in her heart, and it fell in Xiao Yu's eyes, causing Xiao Yu to feel a little pity.
Xiao Yu's tone softened a little, but she was still cold, "I'm not a narrow-minded person, but it's the Beichang royal family, I don't care much, I only care if the people around me are honest, if you really want to continue to deceive me, then I can only let the family invite you out." I think right now your master should be looking for your whereabouts all over the world, you said that the Xiao family drove out a maid overnight, will she notice? ”
Hearing this, Sui'er was a little shaken, she gritted her teeth, muttered for a long time, and finally kowtowed heavily and said, "Slave maid...... There is no intention of harming the girl, the slave just wants to find a way to live. ”
Xiao Yu pouted helplessly, and then took out a waist card from under the waist pillow and threw it to Sui'er, Sui'er took it in a panic, staring at the Xiao character on the waist card and was stunned.
Sui'er was stunned: "This ......"
Xiao Yu moved her body, held her chin and said slowly: "This is the waist card of the Xiao Mansion, with it, you can go out of the mansion at will." ”
"What do you mean, girl? The slave doesn't understand. Sui'er smelled the smell of conspiracy, couldn't help frowning, and raised her eyes to ask.
Xiao Yu smiled, her white slender hand brushed the green silk, adding a bit of coquettishness, "You know martial arts, and since you stay by my side, you have to do things for me." ”
Sui'er's face sank slightly when she heard this, and her hand holding the waist card trembled, although Xiao Yu's insight into human nature was not enough, she could still see Sui'er's current thoughts.
Xiao Yu sighed slightly, and finally slowed down her tone and said comfortingly: "Do you feel that you just crawled out of one fire pit, but fell into another fire pit?" ”
Sui'er hung her head and didn't say anything, she didn't dare to say yes or no.
Xiao Yu got up, slowly helped Sui'er up, and said softly: "You can rest assured, I won't let you hurt people, but since you come out of the palace, you should understand how sad the life of the concubine is, and it is also a concubine without a little mother, I only want to protect myself, not to ask for others, so are you willing?" ”
Sui'er was silent for a long time, but did not speak, Xiao Yu was not annoyed, and still said with a smile: "If you don't want to, I won't force you, I can still raise an idler in my yard." ”
Sui'er pondered for a long time, finally gritted her teeth, and said firmly: "The slave is willing, but the premise is that the girl can't take the initiative to harm others, if someone else harms the girl, then the girl can retaliate as much as possible, but if the girl is jealous of the other person's thoughts that shouldn't be born, the slave and the maid will not help the girl, and the slave and the maid are unwilling to go down the old road again." ”
Xiao Yu chuckled, pulled Sui'er's arm and shook it, "Don't worry, if it's not urgent, who wants to intrigue all day long?" I still want to bask in the sun and sleep in! ”
"I can understand the girl's thoughts, as a concubine, and there is no little lady, it is difficult to walk in the house, and there is no support, so the slave will try her best to protect the girl, and the girl can rest assured." Sui'er said, with a trace of sadness in her eyes, presumably bringing up her former sadness again.
"Then you might as well make an idea for me now?" Xiao Yu blinked slyly, arousing Sui'er's curiosity.
"What's the idea?" Sui'er asked.
Xiao Yu asked with a little puzzlement: "I have no little mother, and I am helpless in the house, do you think I should please my father?" Or should I please my mother? ”
"Based on the slave maid's investigation of the house in the past few days, the slave and maid think that the old lady should be pleased." Sui'er pondered for a long time, and finally gave Xiao Yu an extremely satisfactory answer.
"Why?" Xiao Yu asked.
"The lord ignores the affairs of the back house, and pleasing him undoubtedly makes the eldest lady feel guilty. After all, the eldest lady is biased towards the grandmother, if necessary, the girl will become a stepping stone for the grandmother, and only the old lady eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, does not greet the back house and its juniors, and even wakes up in the morning and dusk are canceled, if the girl's status in the old lady's heart is far more than the others, then even if the girl is a concubine, the old lady will still protect the girl. Sui'er's remarks made Xiao Yu's eyes light slightly, this Sui'er deserves to be from the palace, with a unique and ruthless vision, and he is a good general.
