Chapter 9: Lying
"Ouch, what's going on with the debris here?" Mama Cai, who walked in slowly from outside the door, asked knowingly.
Seeing Mama Cai again, Wen Yi lost the panic she had when she first saw her, she walked over to her with a smile, quite familiar.
"Mama, you're here, hurry up and sit down."
"Don't worry, I just want to know what's going on here, why is it so messy when I've been gone for a while?"
Is this the answer she is asking, or will she let the guy answer it himself? If she said it, if she didn't talk about the other party's heart, would she be harassed? In order not to get into unnecessary trouble for herself, Wen Yisui decided to keep his mouth shut for the time being and see what the other party had to say.
Wen Yi didn't speak, and focused on Wen Yiyu, and Mama Cai followed the former's gaze, both of them were looking at her, waiting for her answer.
As for Wen Yiyu, she noticed that the two eyes were on her, and she was even more at a loss because she was panicked by the appearance of Mama Cai, she looked like she wanted to cry without tears, and she couldn't speak clearly for a long time.
"That's it, it's ......"
"My sister was so happy knowing that I had moved into the new house, and when she came to congratulate me, she accidentally tripped over the table and stool, so she ......" The meaning is self-evident.
She didn't say this because she was afraid of her, but she figured it out later, she was a noble concubine, even if she beat her, a humble concubine, could it be that she could still fight back? What's more, they haven't beaten her yet, but they just dropped something.
Again, she is so sensible, maybe she can still have a good impression in front of Mama Cai.
Wen Yisui's explanation made Mama Cai smile with satisfaction, and she said to her, "Really sensible."
Wen Yisui didn't speak, and lowered her head slightly to show that she was flattered, but she began to roll her eyes again in her heart.
"Yes, yes, these are all things that I accidentally tripped over, I'll go back and tell my mother about it now, and ask her to send someone to send a batch of good porcelain......" Wen Yisui's words made Wen Yiyu seem to grasp a life-saving straw, and she followed the former's words to continue, and in the end, she only heard her voice and disappeared.
"Xiaoyu is like a child, and a little thing is worth her nervousness." Mama Cai looked at the direction of Wen Yiyu's departure with a smile and said casually.
Hehehe, Wen Yi smiled disdainfully in her heart, didn't she mean that it was a trivial matter for her to come to her to smash it, sure enough, humble people have no human rights, and they are unhappy in their hearts, but she didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face, and she also followed the direction of Wen Yiyu's departure and said with a smile: "What Mama said is true."
After a long while, Mama Cai came back to her senses, looked down at the debris all over the ground, turned her head and shouted outside the door: "Someone outside the door clean up."
"Mama doesn't need it, I'll let the grass clean up later." Wen Yisui continued to show a flattered look.
"It's okay, slaves, they are supposed to do things for their masters, and it is their honor for me to let them in and disturb them." Mama Cai said disapprovingly.
In this case, who is the slave and who is the master? Wen Yi complained silently in his heart, but the smile on his face was called a bright one, no way, people were under the eaves, and they had to bow their heads.
"Mama is right."
After the words fell, she stood aside silently, forced a smile to watch a group of people walking around her room, and had to cast a grateful look at Mama Cai from time to time.
When the ground was finally cleaned, Mama Cai ordered someone to serve tea, and after drinking half a bowl of tea slowly, she was finally willing to enter the theme.
"I met the master just now and told him about you, and the master was very relieved to know about it."
My business? What's the matter with me? Can't eat enough, don't have warm clothes, don't live well, and was almost killed by his wife and daughter? Then he's relieved to be a hairy worm.
She didn't know how to answer for a while, so she had to lower her head again and not speak, saving more and more mistakes, so in Mama Cai's opinion, she was a well-behaved and sensible appearance with low eyebrows, and she was even happier.
"But it is precisely because of this gratification that the lord does not agree with you to return to the small courtyard where you once lived, after all, it is too dilapidated and does not fit your current identity, if it spreads, it will have an impact on the lord and the reputation of the Wen Mansion."
"I know, I didn't think about it before." Regardless of whether you have it or not, in short, apologize first.
"It's good that you know, okay, since the master let you live here, you can live obediently, otherwise outsiders will think that you don't know what to do."
If outsiders just look at her expression, they think that she is really thinking about it for Wen Yi, but as soon as they listen to her words, they know that it is not the same thing, and Wen Yi Sui naturally understands the meaning of her words, but she has to pretend that she doesn't understand anything to express her gratitude.
"Whatever you want."
"It's good that you understand, then I'll leave, the master still has a lot of things waiting for me to deal with." Mama Cai left here with a satisfied smile.
After Mama Cai left, Wen Yi sat on the recliner weakly, looking at the bowl of tea that Mama Cai had drunk with blank eyes, and said with disdain: "It seems that I am really suitable for here." It took less than a day to get used to the rules and people here.
Thinking of the panic and uneasiness she showed when she saw Bai and Mama Cai for the first time, and then thinking about the calmness she maintained when facing Mama Cai just now, she couldn't help but admire herself, the next time she saw Bai, she shouldn't be as helpless as last time?
Look, although she is stupid, she still has merits, such as strong adaptability and high endurance.
Xiaocao didn't fully understand her sentence "I'm really suitable for here", so she couldn't wait to interject: "Miss, you originally belong here, of course you are suitable here."
Regarding Xiaocao's behavior, Wen Yi glanced at her, sat up from the recliner, and said to her seriously: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Infected by Wen Yisui, Xiaocao couldn't help but become serious, serious with dazed fear, she slowly moved in front of her, couldn't help rubbing her hands, and asked cautiously, "What does Miss have to ask?" Xiaocao must know everything, and there is no end to what he says. ”
"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a simple question." Wen Yisui saw that Xiaocao's face was not very good, and she opened her mouth to relieve her nervousness.
"Xiaocao is not nervous, Xiaocao and Miss grew up together, childhood sweethearts, how can you be nervous because of Miss's words, hehe......" The smile on Xiaocao's face at the moment was very stiff.
That's how childhood sweethearts are used? Wen Yisui was puzzled, but she didn't bother to ask, and instead said: "It's good not to be nervous, I just want to know why you hide aside every time I see someone."
"For example, the first time that concubine came to me, you knew that I had amnesia and didn't know their names, but not only did you not help me secretly, but even quit.
For example, when Mama Cai came over for the first time, you obviously knew who she was, but you didn't hint at me either, and stepped aside by yourself, can I know the reason why you did this? At the end, her brow couldn't help but furrow, and her eyes were full of scrutiny when she looked at the other party.
She was thinking that if her reasons were not enough to convince her, she might have blacklisted this 'childhood sweetheart' from now on, and even let her go back to her old job and let her go back to washing clothes.
Xiaocao didn't know what Wen Yi was thinking, so her expression had been tense from before the latter called her over for questioning, until the latter spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved expression appeared on her face.
Her hands naturally drooped, and she said in a brisk tone, "It turns out that Miss wants to ask about this."
Without waiting for Wen Yisui's words, she immediately explained: "The reason why Xiaocao quits every time someone comes to find Miss is because Xiaocao is a third-class maid, and according to the rules of the house, when a guest comes to the door, Xiaocao is not qualified to stay inside."
Afraid that Wen Yisui still didn't understand, she added: "But Miss must be curious to know why Xiaocao can usually go in and out of Miss's room?" At this, she winked mischievously at her, and continued:
"That's because there are no other maids around Miss except Xiaocao, a third-class maid, so Xiaocao has to come in to clean up Miss and be responsible for Miss's daily diet." When the words fell, she spread out her hands to express her helplessness.
"You mean you can go in and out of here when no outsiders are coming, but when people come, you have to go out? Just because you're a third-class maid? Wen Yi asked uncertainly.
"That's it." Xiaocao replied firmly.
"That's simple, I'll promote you to a first-class maid now, no matter who comes over in the future, you can stand by my side, and you don't have to quit anymore." Wen Yi slapped his big hand on his leg and said confidently.
Anyway, she's the only maid by her side, so it shouldn't be a big deal to raise her, right?
"Thank you, Miss, but...... The promotion of the maid is decided by the lady. Xiaocao had a sad face, if only her young lady could decide her promotion, she would no longer have to be a last-class maid.
"Is there no other way?" Wen Yi will not give up, she wants to make it so difficult for the only maid around her to be promoted to a first-class maid?
"No, this is a rule made by Madame, unless Madame herself abolishes this rule." Xiaocao shrugged helplessly.
"Then forget it, I'll let her give you a promotion when I have a chance." Wen Yisui was also very regretful, although she wanted Xiaocao to rise up and help herself, but if she was asked to go to the Bai family now to talk about it, she really wouldn't dare, after all, she was soft-spoken.
Xiaocao also knew her difficulties, so she didn't have any dissatisfaction with Wen Yisui's words, on the contrary, she said happily: "Then Xiaocao is waiting, Miss don't break her word."
