The lotus flower of the sweet apricot that was stuffed just wanted to warn Xia Zhixue that this sweet apricot may be poisonous, but the sweet and sour taste of the sweet apricot bloomed in the mouth. Warnings and all that, all of them are put into the back of their minds. The quiet afternoon accompanied by the happiness brought by sweet apricots made Xia Zhixue's tense heart relax a little. Isn't it just a little Xia Zhiqiu? The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.

But the days that followed profoundly proved Xia Zhixue's contempt for the enemy.

One day, Lotus went to the house to get a fortune, and everyone heard the conversation of the people in the steward's room.

"I heard that the eldest lady went to deliver sweet apricots to the third lady a few days ago, and guess what?"

Before the mother-in-law who spoke could speak, another mother-in-law who talked a lot interjected, "But aren't the eldest lady and the third lady incompatible?" ”

"Tsk~" The mother-in-law who was interrupted was obviously not very happy, "You let me finish!" ”

The mother-in-law and maidservants on the side all coaxed, "You say it, you say!" ”

The mother-in-law then put herself into the state again, "I tell you, the third lady actually let one of the eldest lady's maidservants punish her, and she was punished for a long time, and finally the maid sprinkled the sweet apricots a lot, and the third lady almost took the maid's life!" ”

The group of people who heard it opened their mouths wide and looked surprised. There was also a group of servant girls who secretly sighed that they were fortunately not the maids in the courtyard of the third lady, and they escaped the catastrophe. The lotus flower who was eavesdropping on the side trembled.

"But the third lady doesn't look like that person?" Hearing this, a small spark suddenly rose in Lotus's heart. I didn't expect anyone to know Miss!

But this group of mothers-in-law who often gossip together immediately interrupted the words of this "nonsense" maidservant, "What do you know, the eldest lady's mother killed the third lady!" ”

The lotus couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a bucket of water next to it and splashed it into the house. The mothers-in-law and girls who were chewing the root of their tongues behind their backs were all drenched in soup, and they kept scolding in their mouths.

After splashing the lotus, she hurried back to Xia Zhixue's yard, not that she didn't dare to do things, but if they found out, Miss's reputation would probably never be recovered in the future. The rumors with the Nineteenth Prince have just subsided, and the young lady can no longer be allowed to fall into this kind of terrible whirlpool.

Xia Zhixue was still watering the flowers in another part of the yard, and didn't notice the embarrassed lotus here. Lotus found something to do in the courtyard casually, and returned to the "crime scene" as if nothing happened.

Watching the soaked mother-in-law and maidservants lining up to go back to their house to change clothes, Lotus's heart was like stealing honey. One of the maidservants who was queuing up to enter the house saw the lotus, so she came out of her anger and pointed to the lotus's nose and began to question the lotus.

"Lotus, isn't it you!"

Lotus frowned, pretending to be innocent, and blinked at the servant girl, "What is not me?" But how did you get like this? It's not raining on our side, is it? ”

The maidservant stamped her feet, blushed, and said, "Did you see us talking, so you splashed a handful of water?" "Scholarly

"I'm not a steward, so why should I care if you talk or ...... What bad things did you say about me? Lotus smiled and looked at the person in front of her.

The maid who ate the dumb loss had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, who would let herself take care of it. Lotus looked at the deflated appearance of their group of people, and finally felt relieved.

In an unknown corner, a woman in a pink cloak faces a skinny woman.

"You're doing a good job, and you're rewarded for it. Do a good job in the future, and the benefits will definitely be indispensable to you. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The praised mother-in-law nodded like garlic, "Do things for the eldest lady." It's a little honor! In the future, you can just leave this kind of errand to me! ”

Xia Zhiqiu's face under his cloak was covered with a slight wicked smile. She won't act like she used to be just like she used to, sooner or later, Xia Zhixue, you wait, I will definitely trample you under my feet!

In Xia Zhixue's yard, Xia Zhixue, who was taking a nap, suddenly sneezed, and Lotus, who had just returned from the housekeeper's room, heard it and quickly found a thick quilt for Xia Zhixue.

"Although it's not winter yet, it's also the peak season for colds and fevers, so Miss must be careful." Xia Zhixue, who was out of breath under the thick quilt, tugged at the quilt on top of her head, "It shouldn't be a cold." I'm afraid someone isn't chewing the root of my tongue behind my back, right? ”

When Xia Zhixue said this, the lotus flower was a little weak-hearted, and her eyes began to drift everywhere. I was going to bury this matter completely in my heart, so as not to disturb Miss's good mood. But the lotus was really uncomfortable in her heart, so she told Xia Zhixue everything she saw and heard in the afternoon.

While talking, I didn't forget to say a few words about those talkative people. Xia Zhixue listened to what the lotus said, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart. She thought that the matter between her and Ouyang Huaiyu was over, and no one would say what happened to her behind her back. After all, Xia Zhixue is just a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, why should she be treated like this?

"Miss, am I too impulsive?" The lotus flower lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Xia Zhixue pulled the lotus flower to her bedside, "No, you did the right thing." And I was touched by the fact that I was considered everywhere. Looking at the pityful gaze in Xia Zhixue's eyes, Lotus couldn't hold back any longer, and got into Xia Zhixue's shoulder, "Lotus really doesn't understand, why is Miss so good, how can those people still chew the root of their tongues behind their backs." How good was the young lady to them at the beginning, they all forgot it? It's all a bunch of people who have no conscience. ”

It was obviously Xia Zhixue who was wronged, but the lotus was even more aggrieved than Xia Zhixue, and there were some tears flashing in her eyes as she spoke. Xia Zhixue looked at the stupid girl's shoulders and twitched, so she took her own handkerchief and stuffed it into the lotus's hand. Lotus quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then sat down and looked at Xia Zhixue.

"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely shut up all these people!"

Xia Zhixue was so frightened that she quickly covered Lotus's mouth, "How can Lotus speak?" ”

Realizing that her expression was inappropriate, Lotus smiled and reexplained, "I mean that one day they all will know how good it is to be a real lady." ”

Xia Zhixue smiled in her heart, how could it be so easy, this is obviously the high hat that Xia Zhiqiu brought to herself, Xia Zhiqiu has really changed, how could she think of such a vicious and vicious way to hit the key point with one move? Could it be that there is someone behind her who is directing her? Or is she really a different person than before?

In short, no matter what the process is, the result tells Xia Zhixue one thing, that is, Xia Zhiqiu is finally difficult to deal with. In addition to the headache Luo Licheng who did not have a good life, now there is another scheming Xia Zhiqiu, and I am afraid that the future will not be easy.
