It has been a few days since Qiao Mei met Xie Huaijin in Huanxi Building. The house was calm, and even the Qi family had lost a lot.

Now it is the hot season, although there are ice cubes in the Jingguo Mansion, not everyone in the mansion can have it, and only the master of the Eight Classics can share it.

No, Qiao Mei listened to the disturbance caused by this matter.

The one who speaks in her ear is no longer the moon worship that she used to like to chatter, and now she is more and more restrained and stable because she has brought a new servant.

"Girl, have you heard that the second lady has fallen ill recently?" It was Rulan who rubbed her shoulders and spoke for Qiao Mei, and it was Ruxue who fanned her beside her.

Qiao Mei has always been sleepy on such days, and she said a little drowsy: "My mother didn't send anyone to tell me, what's wrong?" ”

Rulan smiled and was about to speak, but was stopped by Ruxue's eyes. The eldest lady naturally has her reasons for not letting the girl know about this, Rulan said it like this, I'm afraid she doesn't want to be punished?

It's just that Rulan couldn't understand the meaning in her eyes, but glared back at her, and took the following words at Qiao Mei: "The second master has been staying in Suxin Courtyard for the past few days and nights, and the second lady is sick when she is depressed. ”

Since Qiao Hui got married, Aunt Xu begged the second master for the first time, saying that Brother Qi was raised very well by the second lady, and she was very relieved, so she wanted to move back to Suxin Courtyard to live.

Aunt Xu was leaving, and the Qi family was very happy, and the second master naturally agreed under her homeopathy.

But who knows, for several days, the second master has been staying in Aunt Xu's room, and others can hear the joy and laughter in Suxin Courtyard when they pass by.

Listening to Rulan's words, Qiao Mei's lazy eyes, which had become sleepy, turned clear, she covered her mouth with her bare hands and yawned, looking at Rulan's eyes with a little water.

After just glancing at her, Qiao Mei got up and left behind a sentence that was not salty or light, "Go and pay homage to yourself to receive the punishment." ”

Rulan looked at her as she entered the house, and looked at Ruxue helplessly, but Ruxue didn't even give her a look, and followed Qiao Mei indifferently with a fan.

The cold ring ruler greeted Rulan at once, and it was Ruxue with a cold face who moved it.

"You, you are so ruthless...... Rulan gritted her teeth, and when the ring ruler fell, she subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but was held down by two girls.

Ruxue's eyelids didn't lift for half a minute, and her voice was soft and cold, "I stopped you before, but you didn't listen." She waved her hand again.

"You!" Rulan was so pained that she couldn't speak, and after a while, the excitement and disbelief in her eyes had slowly faded, and condensed into some hatred.

"Girl, it's the slave who didn't teach her well." The worship bowed deeply, and there was self-reproach in the words.

Qiao Mei helped her up and said lightly, "Where can I blame you?" Mama made her words clear when she chose someone, so what if she didn't listen? ”

What's more, Rulan is carried by Baiqing, and Baiqing has always been cautious in her words and deeds since she stayed by her side, where has there been a time to talk about the master in vain.

By the time she had finished fifty strokes, Rulan's hands were already swollen, and she knelt on her knees in front of the courtyard, her waist straight.

The girls who swept the courtyard all looked here, and then hugged and whispered.

Seeing this, Qiao Mei couldn't help but shake her head, "I beg you to give her ten taels of silver and send her away." "She stayed in Qi Mansion in her previous life, and she was used to seeing these methods in the mansion.

As the sun grew hotter on the horizon, the light swept across the eaves of the four corners and hit the smooth floor of the inner room, reflecting the moist and hot light.

The maids next to them all collected their brooms and pushed and shoved away, and the iris, which had always been very good, was decaying.

"Get up." Hearing this, Rulan raised her head again and again with joy, "Hello sister, but the girl spared me?" ”

Bai Qing frowned slightly, and handed the silver in his hand to her, "The girl asked you to leave the house now." ”

The expression on her face froze, and Rulan's face suddenly turned pale, you must know that it is far better to be a girl in the Jingguo Mansion than to beg for a living outside. Besides, she doesn't have a family yet, so where should she go......

Seeing that she didn't take it for a long time, Bai Qing directly put the silver in her hand and turned to leave.

No one saw Rulan who was sitting on the ground behind her, her eyes were already filled with hatred, she grabbed the corners of her skirt hard, and looked at the back room with hatred.

-

There are often lingering sounds of frolicking in the Suxin Courtyard, and there is an endless sound of silk and bamboo, which has long been transmitted to Mama Li's ears.

It's just that the second lady just fell ill a few days ago because she drank too much ice drink and the cold entered the body, so she told the maids in the yard to keep their mouths and never stimulate the second lady anymore.

But who knows!

Mama Li covered the futon for the Qi family on the couch, and then waved her hand to let the maids around her drag out the trembling maids who were kneeling on the ground.

"Mama, Mama, you spare the slave maid...... the maid prayed for her legs.

Mama Li sneered, kept moving in her hands, grabbed her long hair that was scattered, and slapped her pale face a few times!

"! Say, was it sent by the little slut in Suxin Academy? Mama Li wanted to fight again, but Qian Ji cried and said, "It's a heart, it's what she told me...... Mama, please spare the slave and maid......"

The maid who was identified by her again looked panicked, she knelt down, and seemed to be angry: "Mama knows, the slave maid has never told her these things, what you command cannot reach the ears of the second lady, the slave and maid should keep it in mind......"

There was a faint cough sound in the house, and Mama Li waved her hand directly to lock them all into the firewood room.

When she entered, Qi's was already not very good, and her handmaid Yuru was shaking with a handkerchief, and she cried and shouted: "Quick, call the doctor...... quickly."

"Why don't you go and ask Dr. Xu to come!" Mama Li shouted in a low voice, and Yuru ran away again and again.

Lian helped Qi to sit up, Mama Li saw the blood stains on the handkerchief, and Fang Cai's fierceness had long disappeared, she said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, don't be angry with yourself anymore!" You have to think that you still have five girls, she, when she grows up, she always has to go to her own mother! ”

Qi's eyebrows were pale and weak, and she shook her head, not knowing what she was denying.

"After all, I am, married to a negative person......"

Qi's eyes were hazy with tears.

When she met the second master, she was just in her prime, and in twenty-eight years, she was the most beautiful and happiest......

The white-headed old man who promised back then has become a joke before he is white-headed.

"How come," Mama Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, "Second master, he was just fascinated by that little slut of the Xu family......"

Qi suddenly laughed, and tears fell again, "Where is it just the Xu family, he still has the Zhang family, the Zhao family, the Li family, ......"

Mama Li knew that she was speechless and stopped talking.

The sun was still shining outside, and Qi remembered that day when she forced Qiao Meng to dress up and go to see Zhou Ziyu...... Tears welled up from the corners of her eyes again, exactly the same as Qiao Meng's shed that day.

"Meng'er, how nice it would be if it were a man......"
