Chapter 74: A lifesaver

"If you treat Fu Xiaoniang like this, aren't you afraid that the general will condemn you!"

Liu was originally startled when he heard Xia Chutao's voice, and looked at Xia Chutao a little helplessly.

But when she saw clearly that it was Xia Chutao, the tension on Liu's face suddenly dissipated.

There was a hint of ridicule in Liu's eyes, and he didn't care about Xia Chutao.

"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be Xia Xiaoniang from the General's Mansion...... It's not something you can handle. ”

Xia Chutao didn't care what Liu said, and came to Fu Qingru without saying a word and blocked her behind her.

Her eyes looked directly at Liu without fear, and she unswervingly stood in front of Fu Qingru.

"Summer ...... Xia Xiaoniang? ”

Fu Qingru behind him said in a trembling voice, his voice was low, and he seemed to be frightened.

"Yes, I'm someone next to Fu Rin, don't be afraid."

Xia Chutao didn't look back, but his tone was very firm.

"Heh, don't you look at what kind of place this is, do you have a part in talking? A concubine from the General's Mansion was also so presumptuous in the Hou Mansion. ”

Liu snorted coldly, obviously not taking Xia Chutao in his eyes.

At the beginning of summer, the peach was not afraid, and said leisurely,

"My sister can really put gold on her face, if I'm not mistaken, my sister used to be a geisha in the hook bar, and she only entered the Hou Mansion because of her big belly. I don't know what kind of face my sister has to say about me? ”

Xia Chutao's words made Liu's face instantly ugly, and Liu gritted his teeth hatefully,

"Then it's not your turn to speak in the Hou Mansion! These are all orders from Madame, and I advise you not to interfere, otherwise you will have no good fruit to eat, and the general's face will not look good! ”

"Oh?"

Xia Chutao's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about it.

"You moved the general's sister, if this matter gets to the general......"

Facing Xia Chutao's words, Liu was obviously scared, and his pupils couldn't help but tremble.

"In the end, the general and Hou Ye's colleagues have a fight, if there is a stiffness, the two of them will not look good in the officialdom. Do you think that if Hou Ye feels that this matter is hurtful and angry, what will he do to you? ”

One is a colleague who can be relied on in officialdom, and the other is a concubine who is not worth mentioning. Anyone who is a little smarter knows what to choose.

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Shi Bei was completely frightened, she took a few steps back with a pale face, and pointed at Xia Chutao with a trembling hand,

"Even if you are powerful, but if you meddle in this matter, Master Hou will not let you go easily."

Liu sneered and glanced at Fu Qingru,

"You too, this woman can protect you for a while, but she can't protect you for a lifetime! Think about it yourself, if Master Hou knows, there will be good fruit for you to eat! ”

After Liu said this, Fu Qingru couldn't help but have a cold war, she was really afraid of this Hou Ye.

After Liu Shi finished saying the cruel words, he left slightly embarrassed, Xia Chutao turned around and saw Fu Qingru trembling uncontrollably behind him.

"Sister Fu, don't be afraid."

Xia Chutao said slowly, wanting to help Fu Qingrulai, but what he didn't expect was that Fu Qingru's hands were cold, and he could see that the whole person was in extreme fear.

Xia Chutao couldn't help but feel a little distressed about Fu Qingru, and she didn't know what kind of dark life she was living in the Hou Mansion.

"You came to me for something...... Does the general know? ”

Fu Qingru hesitated for a moment, and then asked Xia Chutaodao.

"Not yet, the general doesn't know about these things. Sister Fu, are you planning to tell the general all these things? ”

Hearing Xia Chutao say this, Fu Qingru's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth lightly.

"Originally, I was going to tell the general, but I never found a chance. I finally sent a letter to the general before, but Momiji knew about it, and he actually beat the maid who delivered the letter half to death......"

Xia Chutao's heart was slightly moved: Fu Qingru couldn't speak of his suffering, and he didn't know how wronged he should be.

"Sister Fu, why did they treat you like this after the Marquis of Xiangping?"

Xia Chutao felt very strange in her heart, Fu Qingru was also married seriously from the General's Mansion in the end, according to reason, Xiangping Hou would not treat her like this even if she looked at Fu Rin's face.

"Master Hou, he actually ...... I have long seen that the general is not pleasing to the eye. Almost all of his anger outside was on me... In addition, these two are daughters, and Lord Hou really doesn't like me......"

"What kind of full moon banquet is, in fact, I feel like I haven't seen my hard-working daughter for more than half a month...... Fang Cai Liu said that Hou Ye actually drowned her in the lake......"

Speaking of this, Fu Qingru couldn't control her emotions anymore and sobbed in front of Xia Chutao.

The tears fell down one by one like pearls with broken threads, and the early summer peach was quite distressed to see.

Xia Chutao narrowed her eyes, never expecting things to be like this. Behind Fu Qingru's glamorous and normal appearance, I don't know how many unknown feelings and pains there are.

Looking at Fu Qingru in front of him, Xia Chutao could only comfort him,

"Sister Fu, don't cry first, the injuries on your body need to be dealt with well."

At the beginning of Xia, Tao hugged Fu Qingru, and then she felt that Fu Qingru's body was so thin, as if it could be blown away in the wind.

But Fu Qingru just cried and didn't say anything. Xia Chutao also felt helpless when she saw her like this,

"Sister Fu, where do you live, can you take me there?"

Fu Qingru cried for a long time in the cold wind of early autumn, and then silently wiped the tears on his face.

"Come with me......"

The Xiangping Hou Mansion is really big, and Xia Chutao followed behind Fu Qingru, who was floating slowly, for a long time.

The only thing that makes Xia Chutao feel strange is that this road is getting more and more remote and narrow.

When I walked to this point, there were no buildings around, only unpruned weeds and dead trees everywhere, and the few houses around were also dilapidated, and at a glance I knew that they were in disrepair, and the black windows looked very scary at a glance.

Xia Chutao not only sighed in her heart: In the end, a concubine from Lake Champagne actually lives in such a dilapidated place......

To tell the truth, this place can't even compare to the houses that the General's Mansion gives to the people to live in.

Fu Qingru also seemed to be moved to cry the unnaturalness on Xia Chutao's face, and turned his head and said in a low voice.

"That's the place they've always kept me staying in...... It's wronged that Xia Xiaoniang came back with me......"

Xia Chutao came back to his senses from the dilapidated scene in front of him, and looked at Fu Qingru with some confusion.

"No, no ......"

Xia Chutao didn't dare to look at anything else, and honestly followed Fu Qingru to her residence.

Fu Qingru's residence is really not very different from other dilapidated houses, a "Qingzhitang" painted plaque is crumbling in the autumn wind, and at the beginning of summer, Tao can even see that several beams are rotten and broken......

Such a residence really can't be seen as a concubine of the Hou Ye.

"They're too deceitful, too deceitful......"

Xia Chutao stood at the door, just after a few glances, she couldn't help but hug Fu Qingru upset, and said this with hatred in her mouth.

"It's good to get used to it, I've been here all these years."

Fu Qingru smiled bitterly, stroked his hair, and then picked up a piece of clothing that fell from the drying rack on the ground, rolled it in his hand, and walked in from the door slowly.

Xia Chutao followed her in and walked a few steps, and saw a person who looked like a maid hurriedly coming out of it.

"Miss......"

When the maid saw Fu Qingru's appearance, she hurriedly grabbed Fu Qingru's hand and said distressedly,

"Why did you go out to find the general and make such a mess, did you lose that shrew and bully you again?"

But the maid herself said so. There was also nothing good to go on the body, and there were even a few obvious bruises on the body.

Xia Chutao not only sighed secretly when she saw this, but also saw that the life of this pair of masters and servants in the Xiangping Marquis Mansion was not very good.

"What about you? Why did you come back with a wound? ”

Fu Qingru also touched his servant's face distressedly, and his tone was gentle and cordial, not like his master at all.

"Alas......"

The maid smiled awkwardly, and then covered the red and swollen part of her face.

"In the past few nights, I heard that Miss you are really coughing badly, so I wanted to go to the pharmacy to find some for you, but I didn't expect to meet Cailian next to Mrs...... I was counted down by the good students......"

"But it's out of the way. The medicine has been brought back, and I will boil it for you later, if you drink this medicine, it is estimated that you will sleep a lot better at night. ”

Fu Qingru couldn't help but be slightly moved when she heard her maid look so embarrassed for herself,

"Since you followed me into the Hou Mansion, you haven't had a comfortable life, it's really hard for you......"

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter, it's my blessing to serve Miss by her side."

"But if you know that the Hou Mansion is such a land of jackals, tigers and leopards, you shouldn't let Miss come alone, I can at least take care of Miss one more when I come."

The maid shook her head and smiled sweetly.

When it was true, the maid's eyes fell on Xia Chutao's body, and she asked with some hesitation,

"It's ......"

"This is Xia Xiaoniang next to the general, if it weren't for him to help, I'm afraid I'm still kneeling on the rockery right now."

"The people around the general?"

When the maid heard her master say this, she seemed to have grasped the last straw, and knelt down in front of Xia Chutao with a plop.

"Please Xia Xiaoniang save our young lady, our young lady has really suffered a lot of undeserved treatment in the Hou Mansion. Please also ask the general and Xia Xiaoniang to call the shots! ”
