While he was talking, the cook and Xiaoxue also came.

Xiao Man motioned for Pearl to stop, straightened his body and asked, "Xiaoxue, let me ask you, living in the backyard on weekdays, is Chen Ru a gang and often bullying Chen Ru?" ”

At the end, she stared into Xiaoxue's eyes and added, "You have to tell the truth." ”

"Chen Ru and they ......" Xiaoxue scratched her head and said with some embarrassment: "Madam, I don't interact with Chen Ru and them on weekdays, so I don't know very well, I only know that Chen Ru seems to look down on Aunt Zhao very much, and people who have a good relationship with Chen Ru often tease Aunt Zhao in order to please Chen Ru." ”

"What else?" Xiaoman asked again.

Xiaoxue bit her lip, frowned, and thought for a while before continuing: "Actually, we also thought about helping Aunt Zhao, but Chen Ru's gang is too many, and we can't afford to mess with it, and Aunt Zhao is very timid, we want to help her, but she refuses to listen to us, let alone resist." ”

Speaking of this, the cook on the side interjected: "Madame, speaking of which, I also remembered that Zhao Fen often goes to the kitchen to get food, or else to boil water, one boil is for most of the day, every time I boil several buckets of water, I don't know what to do with so much water." ”

"Food?" Xiao Man frowned, Zhao Fen didn't mention this just now, what's going on?

The cook nodded, "Yes!" In the past, when I ate, this Zhao Fen didn't eat less, but in the middle of the night or when, she often went to the kitchen to get things, I didn't know at first, until I was busy until I happened to bump into her in the middle of the night, until she often went to the kitchen. ”

As she spoke, the cook counted carefully with her fingers; "Sometimes it's eggs, sometimes it's hard-boiled meat, but more often than not, she's going to get some leftovers. It's strange to say that she looks so thin, but every time she takes a lot of things, and she comes back in the early hours of the next morning, and she eats all the food every time, and I don't know how someone as thin as her can eat so much. ”

What the cook said, except for taking things in the middle of the night, can basically match what Zhao Fen said before, and Xiaoxue said that she was not familiar with Zhao Fen, and she really couldn't ask anything when she looked at it, so Xiaoman sent the two away first.

After the two left, Xiao Man turned to look at Pearl sideways and asked, "Pearl, you should have more contact with Xiaoxue, tell me, how credible is what she said just now?" ”

Although Xiaoxue is a little girl, because she is the top of the competition, and she did not participate in this dispute, she also helped the little girl escape to find herself for help, from these aspects, she really has nothing to doubt.

But when I asked her what to say, I excused myself several times, and each time I said that I was not familiar with Zhao Fen, but after all, they all lived in the backyard, even if they didn't usually come and go, they could meet every day, right?

What's more, Zhao Fen kept saying that she often helped Chen Ru and others wash clothes, and Xiaoxue lived with them, could it be that she hadn't seen Zhao Fen wash clothes?

Did she really not know, or did she deliberately conceal it, or was she also threatened by Chen Ru?

All kinds of possibilities swirled in Xiao Man's mind, she frowned, and she didn't come up with a reason for a while, so she had to throw this problem to Pearl.

"Madam, although Xiaoxue is young, she is very sensible, the slave thinks, she shouldn't lie to Madame, right?" Pearl guessed carefully.

Hearing this, Xiao Man frowned, stared at the pearl for a while, and asked, "Aren't you usually close to her?" On weekdays, have you ever heard her complain or say something casually? ”

Soon, Pearl shook her head, "No, Xiaoxue is a little girl, she usually likes to ask questions, but she hasn't said anything about embroidery between embroidery girls, let alone who bullied whom, or complained about anything." ”

"Well, it seems that she is not a simple child."

At a young age, he can be so calm, and he can face the pearl with the most innocent side, he has not complained for so long, and he is also firm that he is not familiar with Zhao Fen in the face of his own questioning, and he has not confided in half a superfluous word.

Regardless of whether the other party is really unfamiliar with Zhao Fen, in terms of her performance today, she is indeed a not simple person.

It's just that whether this is not simple is good or bad, Xiaoman is not clear.

Looking at Xiao Man's frowning appearance, he chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but ask nervously: "Madam, could you be suspicious of Xiaoxue?" ”

This question was not answered by Xiaoman, and Pearl couldn't help but feel nervous again, and hurriedly explained: "Madam, before going to the suburbs, Xiaoxue and I were often together, in fact, she was a child, and she really admired and respected Madame, I think, she shouldn't do such a thing, right?" ”

"What suspicion is not doubtful, I just think this kid is a little not simple." Xiao Man pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand and patted Pearl's shoulder, relieved: "Don't be nervous, this matter must have nothing to do with Xiaoxue, otherwise she wouldn't let Xiaoxue go out to inform us, right?" ”

Pearl breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as Mrs. doesn't suspect Xiaoxue, Mrs. doesn't know, in my mind, Xiaoxue is really a very simple and beautiful girl, and she is really pitiful." ”

After listening to Pearl's evaluation of Xiaoxue, Xiaoman couldn't help but be a little surprised, she has been with Pearl for many years, but she has never seen her say such a thing to a person, it seems that she really regards Xiaoxue as her little sister.

It's just that Xiaoman has gone through such a thing today, but she has never been able to associate words like innocence and beauty with Xiaoxue, she thought: Maybe she thinks too much, a girl of such age and family background does not necessarily have to be calm and sophisticated, maybe Xiaoxue is an exception?

Anyway, she has been safe and secure so far, and her craftsmanship is so good, she can't trust her.

She smiled lightly, "Okay, she is a good seedling, I will definitely cultivate her well in the future." ”

After speaking, Xiao Man got up and said to the pearl: "Let's go, go see Wang Youhe." ”

The two walked out of the door of the front hall and walked straight to the courtyard where Wang Youhe lived, on the way, Xiao Man suddenly remembered that Jade and Xiao Qi were still guarding the greenhouse in the suburbs, in order not to worry them, she specially sent a small servant to pass the message, so that they could rest assured.

When he arrived at the small courtyard where Wang Youhe lived, Xiaoman learned from Simei's mouth that the doctor he had invited before had already prescribed medicine and left, and Wang Youhe had already taken medicine at this time and was resting on the bed.

"Now that I'm resting, I'd better go back." Xiao Man pursed his lips and smiled, turning around to leave.

But before she could leave the courtyard, Wang Youhe's voice came from the bedroom window not far away: "Sister Xiaoman! Don't go, I'm not asleep, come in first, I have something to tell you! ”

With that, Xiao Manfu turned around and came back and entered the bedroom.

After Xiaoman entered the room, he sat on the edge of Wang Youhe's bed, looked left and right at the scratches on the other party's face, and couldn't help frowning, "Why did you grab such a long one, it's all up to the neck, what did the doctor say, it's okay?" ”

"It's fine." Wang Youhe smiled and pointed to the vial on the table, "The doctor has already prescribed medicine, just wipe it once a day, and the doctor also said that this scar looks terrible, but it is not deep, and it will not leave a scar." ”

"That long wound looks scary." Xiao Man's frowning brows didn't stretch, she stared at the scar on Wang Youhe's neck, anxious and angry, "Those people are really a group of crazy women, why do they still do it?" It's ...... that so many people bully you alone, and they even pick up the night."

Seeing that Xiao Man kept complaining, Wang Youhe was very moved, "Sister Xiao Man, you are so good to me." ”

Xiao Man sighed, his eyes full of guilt and helplessness: "If I had known this, I should have sent a few more people to protect you, and I wouldn't have made things like this." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but turn around and set her eyes on Simei and Sizhu, "You guys live next door to Youhe, right?" There is always a person keeping vigil at night, and if something so big happens, why didn't you come out to stop it? ”

Even if these two little maids can't stop those tough women, they can protect Wang Youhe, otherwise Wang Youhe would not be caught like this.

The two little maids lowered their heads and didn't speak, Xiaoman looked more and more angry, and was about to teach a lesson when he was stopped by Wang Youhe on the side, and the other party explained: "Sister Xiaoman, don't be angry, those people have already made complete preparations, and they took the two of them away early, until something happened to me and they didn't come back until they heard the movement." ”

"But it was too late at that time, and the two of them had little strength, not only did they not save me, but they were beaten." Saying that, Wang Youhe pulled Xiaoman's sleeve, "Sister Xiaoman, don't blame them, this matter has nothing to do with them." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man sighed again, resentful of the hateful behavior of those people, and hated that iron does not become steel, she wanted to persuade these two little maids well, so that they could be dominated by Wang Youhe, but after thinking about it, the two little maids were also victims, and she couldn't blame them.

Looking at the two people who were still bowing their heads, Xiao Man persuaded bitterly: "Next time something like this happens, be smart, don't be easily deceived." ”

"Pearl, you take them down first and apply some medicine to reduce swelling." Xiao Man commanded.

Pearl understood, bowed, and went out with the two little maids.

At this time, only Xiao Man and Wang Youhe were left in the room, Xiao Man got up and looked left and right out of the window, and after making sure that there was no one around, she returned to the edge of the bed and sat down, with a serious face, and asked: "Youhe, don't worry, I will never let go of the people who hurt you." ”

She put her hand on the other person's palm, "You tell the whole story of this time first, I want to know if those people are lying." ”

Wang Youhe nodded, then thought about it, and told all the causes and consequences of what she had experienced, which was basically consistent with what the tough woman, that is, Chen Ru said.

The only difference is that Wang Youhe has no impression of Zhao Fen as a person.
