Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wicked Sue First
An Le pretended to be troubled in his heart, and when he saw Zhao Yaxiu and Aunt Tong choking, he stepped forward to persuade him to make peace as before.
Zhao Yaxiu and Aunt Tong each said a few words, seeing that Aunt Tong was still chirping and saying something, Zhao Yaxiu dared to be bored, and caught a glimpse of An Le's distracted appearance out of the corner of her eye.
These days, she can see clearly what kind of temperament Anle has.
An Le used to be in a very awkward position in the house, she was an orphan girl rescued by Master Zhao from outside, Master Zhao looked at her lonely and a little smart, and wanted to send her to Zhao Qinxiu.
It's a pity that Zhao Qinxiu already has a caring maid on his side, so he refused.
When she first entered the house, Aunt Tong happened to be favored and contradicted Mrs. Zhao a few words.
Then Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she thought about it, so she became the master and arranged a courtyard for An Le, and everything came according to Aunt Tong's position.
It's a pity that after Zhao Lao found out, he didn't refute it, but he never stayed overnight in Anle's courtyard.
An Le's position in the house is very embarrassing, but fortunately, An Le is a quiet person, and he doesn't fight or grab, but he has a good impression.
Now that the Zhao Mansion is down, she is provoking the big beam, Mrs. Zhao is old, she goes to bed every night to wait for Zhao Lao.
It's a bit of a popular idea.
"Sister Anle, what's wrong?" Because An Le is about five or six years older than Zhao Yaxiu, she and Zhao Lao have no name, Zhao Yaxiu is called An Le, but few people gossip.
After all, the future is dark now, where are there so many scruples?
Looking at the melancholy on the gorgeous little face in front of him, An Le forcibly stabilized his shocked mind and squeezed out a smile. "Nothing."
"What's going on now? How can you be so squeamish? Aunt Tong snorted coldly, and muttered back to An Le what Zhao Yaxiu had choked before.
Zhao Yaxiu was angry, and turned around and glared at Aunt Tong. "Are you idle, can you be the same?"
Aunt Tong looked at the copper basin in An Le's arms, and she was a little weak in her heart, but she couldn't pull her face, turned her head, and reached out to pull the copper basin. "Isn't it just to wash and dry clothes?"
An Le didn't expect Aunt Tong to suddenly come with such a hand, and she was very frightened, and saw that the copper basin in her hand was taken by Aunt Tong.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
There was a moment of stiffness on her face, but Zhao Yaxiu looked at it, and thought that she was like this because she hadn't slept peacefully these days, but she didn't take it to heart, seeing that Aunt Tong was so conscious.
Snorted coldly, and while gently pushing An Le in the direction of the wing, he squinted at Aunt Tong and said. "Sister Anle, go sleep, it's rare for Aunt Tong to be so conscious."
An Le's eyes lingered on the copper basin, his heart was pounding, and he was pushed by Zhao Yaxiu but had to walk towards the wing, but he was still muttering in his mouth.
"I did this, so I don't have to take it off Aunt Tong, does Aunt Tong know where to dry it?"
It's just that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhao Yaxiu. "She has eaten rice for so many years, she won't even be able to dry her clothes, Sister Anle, you can have a good rest."
"You don't have to worry about these things."
Having said that, An Le naturally didn't want to say anything more, so she walked into the room with a lift.
After a slight pause, she sat down at the table.
This courtyard is small, not as good as the old mansion of Zhao Mansion, and there are many female dependents, Liuli thought about it for a long time, and felt that since there were traitors among the people in Zhao Mansion, if the traitors were allowed to act alone, the exposure might be smaller.
Therefore, after pondering carefully for a while, I still chose the two main courtyards in this courtyard for everyone to live in.
In this room, there are three people, who are Zhao Yaxiu, An Le and Aunt Tong.
"Sister Anle?"
Zhao Yaxiu stood at the door, watching An Le not burrow into the quilt, but sitting at the table with his head propped up, and couldn't help but have some doubts.
An Le's eyes flashed, and with a touch of apology on his face, he covered his stomach and smiled. "I haven't eaten today, and I'm a little hungry."
After staying in the Tiger Binding Prison for so long, Zhao Yaxiu knew how uncomfortable it was to be hungry, so she nodded clearly and slapped her palm. "There's still some white porridge from the morning in the kitchen."
"Sister Anle, wait." With that, Zhao Yaxiu turned around and trotted away.
When Zhao Yaxiu turned around, An Le stood up from the chair, the smile on his face sank, walked to the bed, and reached out to touch it.
In the past two days, she had unintentionally discovered that there was a small hidden compartment under this bed, which was not big, but it was enough to hide a lot of things.
She delicately pulled the dark compartment open, felt the contents out, pinched it in the palm of her hand and looked at it, her eyes flickered, and she walked quickly to the door.
"Aunt Tong." Carefully bypassing the kitchen, An Le found Aunt Tong in the corner of the east wall, she was bending over at the moment, and when she heard An Le shouting, she turned her head in surprise.
What she was carrying in her hand was An Le's freshly washed wide-sleeved robe.
She turned her head in amazement, so she didn't realize that the moment she stood up, a small bamboo tube wrapped in oiled paper fell out of her wide sleeve, because there was grass under her feet.
There was no sound, and she didn't notice anything wrong.
"How?" Aunt Tong said as she tossed the robe in her hand and threw the water dry.
"Didn't you say you were going to rest?"
Aunt Tong said, I don't know what she was thinking, she pursed her lips, and muttered very dissatisfied. "It's just two clothes, can I still break them?"
Seeing the bamboo tube fall to the ground from the wide sleeve and roll into the grass, An Le jumped up, took a few steps forward, and said with a faint smile. "Not really, I feel like it's going to rain."
"My clothes are thicker and longer, I'm afraid that you won't be able to dry the water by yourself, and you will not dry it in the sun."
As she spoke, she quietly kicked the bamboo tube into the thick grass on the side.
Aunt Tong kept looking at her face and talking to her, but she didn't notice her small movements, and when she heard An Le's words, she glanced at her strangely a few times before she was dissatisfied. "It's just a few clothes, do you need to worry so much?"
Aunt Tong glared at her very dissatisfied, and reached out to hang the robe in her hand on the pole.
She used to enter the mansion, did she do these things well?
Aunt Tong's mouth was indignant, and the force in her hand was a little bigger.
In the corner where Aunt Tong couldn't see, An Le leaned forward, and under the cover of the robe, his toes flicked slightly, and moved the stone that was about to press the pole.
The pole was just leaning against the corner of the wall, but at this moment, it was thrown so hard by Aunt Tong, and there was no force.
Just as Aunt Tong turned around, the pole slid down the corner of the wall, and the clothes that had been washed suddenly fell to the ground.
Aunt Tong was taken aback by this movement, and couldn't help squatting down, thinking about scooping up the clothes on the ground.
It's just a pity that the robe fell to the ground and was stained with dust, and I think it would have to be washed again.
Aunt Tong's hand was pushed aside by An Le, and seeing An Le silently reaching out to put away the ashes-stained robes, she was pushed stunned and couldn't help muttering. "If you hadn't bothered me, I wouldn't have been like this."
"What is your attitude? I'm kind enough to help you? ”
No matter what Aunt Tong said, An Le was silent, and by turning his back to Aunt Tong, he reached out and pulled the robe to cover the bamboo tube, and he wanted to take the bamboo tube into his arms.
It's just that An Le's hand hasn't touched the bamboo tube yet, and he stretched out a hand out of nowhere, pushed Aunt Tong away, and helped An Le up.
An Le was caught off guard and let go of his hand, and those dust-stained robes fell to the ground again, and his face was not good-looking.
Zhao Yaxiu, who hurried over, thought that she was because the clothes she had worked so hard to wash had fallen to ashes again.
was also sued by Aunt Tong's wicked first.
Zhao Yaxiu helped An Le and glared at Aunt Tong angrily. "You don't have to kick your nose in the face, you can't do such a small thing, what else can you do?"
was scolded by a junior like Zhao Yaxiu, Aunt Tong only felt a hot pain on her face as if she had been slapped by someone, and she was so angry that she pointed at An Le's hand and kept shaking.
"You, you."
"Okay, you guys, you're going to gang up and bully me?"
"Bullying you?" Zhao Yaxiu sneered, reached out and knocked Zhao Yaxiu's hand away, pointing at the mess all over the ground.
"Look, this isn't your laundry, and you're going to be so bad?"
Aunt Tong's face turned red, and she pointed at An Le and asked. "Anle, you say, did I mean it?"
An Le glanced up at her, and felt that she was very troublesome, pursed the corners of his lips, didn't say anything, and turned his head away.
Zhao Yaxiu looked at An Le's appearance, and felt more and more that Aunt Tong had nothing to do, and she became more and more dissatisfied with her in her heart, but she was forced to say anything to her because of the current occasion, and saw that An Le still wanted to bend down to clean up those clothes, so she grabbed her and said.
"Sister Anle, forget these clothes, go quickly."
An Le paused as he bent over, and looked back at her for some reason. "How?"
Zhao Yaxiu didn't have time to explain so much, so she stretched out her hand to grab An Le and walked towards the front yard. "I can't explain that much, just follow me."
An Le was pulled by Zhao Yaxiu, and he was still turning around.
Zhao Yaxiu looked back and saw An Le's appearance, and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, thinking that An Le was caring about Aunt Tong, and she didn't have a good temperament. "If she doesn't follow, if something happens, it's no wonder we left her behind."
Her voice was not deliberately lowered, so Aunt Tong heard it clearly, and she originally felt aggrieved in her heart, but she also knew that Zhao Yaxiu's appearance was something that mattered nine times out of ten.
She spun around in place a few times, stomped a few times, and then muttered after her.
An Le was grabbed by Zhao Yaxiu, and walked all the way to the front yard, knowing in his heart that nine times out of ten he was going to change his position.
In the past few days, she has been guarding Zhao Lao's side every day, Zhao's mother has always been there, and the bloodline of the Zhao Mansion that should have been presented under Zhao Lao's knees, except for the female dependents, she has never seen a single man.
Zhao Fu is so down, if you want to turn over, I'm afraid it will be very rare.
Nine times out of ten, Zhao Lao will not let the Zhao family be overwhelmed, and when he thinks about it like this, An Le's gaze can't help but pass around Zhao Yaxiu, who is pulling him.
These days, she has never seen Zhao Qinxiu appear.
In this yard, isn't it?
An Le was thinking wildly in her heart, but Zhao Yaxiu had already pulled her out of the yard and got into an ox cart.
The ox cart was covered with straw, and the pungent smell almost didn't faint the pampered young lady as soon as she entered, Zhao Yaxiu covered her nose in disgust, but she knew what the situation was in her heart, and she didn't say anything, until Aunt Tong climbed up neatly.
After the ox cart moved slowly, Zhao Yaxiu reached out and took out a dough cake from his arms and handed it to An Le.
The eyes that stared at An Le were shining. "Sister Anle."
