Chapter 11: Doubts
After the people left, Jin Zhao walked out of one place.
In the scene just now, the conversation between Xia Fu and Bi Tao, Qiao Ci listened to it all. Those words that said the eldest lady behind her back, she felt angry when she heard it, she thought that the eldest lady's temper would be very angry, and she looked up, but who knows, Jin Zhao had a calm face, and there was no anger on her face.
She thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't listen to their nonsense, they are talking nonsense, the slave understands, Miss, you are not such a person."
Obviously it was her, but her girl became angry, Jin Zhao smiled and said: "Look at you, I'm not angry, you look angry, I don't know and think it's you."
In her previous life, she heard the rights and wrongs in the harem much worse than this, and she couldn't be drowned by those spittle at the beginning, how could she care about the words of just two maids.
Qiao Ci hesitated: "The slaves think that the eldest lady is not such a person, they should not talk behind their backs and say that the eldest lady is not."
Jin Zhao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Qiao Ci, and asked, "What they said is not all nonsense, I did punish you, don't you blame me?"
Qiao Ci immediately shook her head and said, "The slave has never blamed the eldest lady in the slightest, don't take their words to heart."
Jin Zhao nodded and said, "Their words are not enough to hurt me and make me angry." But today's incident reminded me. ”
Remind?
Qiaoci looked at her inexplicably, and didn't ask much. After thinking about the scene just now, it suddenly dawned on me, and said softly: "What does the eldest lady mean...... Peach? ”
Jin Zhao saw her silent, worthy of being a girl who had lived with her in the palace for many years, and a maid who knew her mind the most.
Jin Zhao straightened his sleeves and said casually: "Let's go, it's cold outside, we should go back too."
Qiao Ci suddenly realized that the eldest lady had always been afraid of the cold, but Fang Cai didn't show it at all, if it had been before, she would have been shouting to go back. Qiao Ci couldn't help but look at Jin Zhao who was walking in front, and her heart was full of doubts.
Su Jinling left from the kitchen and did not go back to Rongxiu Courtyard directly, but went directly to her mother Shen Manxin.
At this moment, Shen Manxin was pruning begonias in the yard, and Su Jinling came over with a belly of fire.
"Mother."
As soon as the person arrived at the door, he shouted at Shen Manxin in the courtyard.
Hearing the sound, Shen Man was stunned and cut off half of the branch. When the maid Luxiu saw it, she immediately panicked, this is her master's favorite begonia, but she was made like this by the recklessness of the second lady, she hurriedly bent down and picked up the cut begonia, and held it in her hand uneasily.
I saw Shen Man's heart froze, as if he was in no mood, so he gave the scissors in his hand to Lu Xiu, and reached out to touch the place that had just been cut, feeling distressed.
Su Jinling didn't care about these details at all, she was still upset by what Su Jinzhao said. She walked quickly to Shen Manxin and complained to her angrily: "Mother is really Yaxing, you don't know that your daughter is so wronged today."
The implication is that she has been bullied by others, and her mother is still in the mood to prune here.
Of course, Shen Manxin could hear the meaning of her words, but pointed to the begonia in front of him and half-jokingly said: "Look, this begonia has been cut off half of its branches, and it is also very aggrieved."
As he spoke, he kept his hand on the place where he had just cut it.
Hearing this, Su Jinling felt even more aggrieved in her heart, and said angrily for a while: "My daughter has been wronged, and my mother is not comforted, I am only worried about my begonia, and my daughter really doubts that she is your biological daughter."
Su Jinling has always been spoiled by Shen Manxin, and she comes as soon as she opens her mouth when she speaks, and she doesn't weigh it before saying anything.
As soon as these words came out, not only Shen Manxin was stunned for a moment, but even the maids Lu Xiu and Xia Fu beside him were also panicked.
Lu Xiu hurriedly said: "Second Miss said that you are laughing, of course you are born to the second lady, this can still be fake."
Su Jinling was choked for a while, and Fang Cai was also in a hurry to say this, without thinking so much. She subconsciously raised her head and secretly glanced at her mother, and saw that her mother was not angry, but she was relieved.
She stopped talking again, looked at Shen Manxin, her voice softened for a while, and explained: "Mother, I didn't mean that, I was also so angry with Su Jinzhao that I said the nonsense just now, I hope mother, don't take it to heart."
Shen Manxin withdrew his gaze from the begonia, turned to look at her and said, "You are my daughter, how can a mother be angry with her daughter." His tone paused, and his expression was slightly deep, "Just now you said that you were angry with Su Jinzhao, what is going on, you can talk to your mother." ”
After speaking, Shen Manxin pulled Su Jinling into the house.
After sitting down, Su Jinling couldn't wait to tell Shen Manxin everything that happened today: "...... That's how things are, as long as I have good words on weekdays, Su Jinzhao will agree, but who knows that this time I just refused, which made me very faceless in front of my subordinates. ”
Lu Xiu on the side took the opportunity to say softly: "Look at the slave maid, eighty percent of the eldest lady's cooking skills are not very good, and she can't do it, so I didn't show it to you for fear of making the second lady laugh."
Su Jinling didn't think so, so she glanced at her and said, "You don't understand the situation." As she spoke, she glanced at Shav.
The maid Xia Fu understood and explained: "When the slave maid accompanied the second lady, the smell of the eldest lady's cooking wafted outside, and the onlookers outside all exaggerated the good cooking skills of the eldest lady, and they should not be worried that the cooking skills were not good and they were afraid of making the second miss laugh."
At this time, Shen Manxin, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "What should I do, it turns out to be this, it's not a big deal, I won't show you, I just don't look at it, I just made a few dishes, it is estimated that there is nothing to look at, you still affect your mood for this little thing, but it's not worth it."
Listening to her mother's attitude of not caring much about this matter, Su Jinling immediately said: "Mother, how can this be a trivial matter, what I said before, Su Jinzhao would have listened, but today I don't know what's wrong, as if he doesn't want to deal with me, and even the tone of his voice seems to be like a different person."
Speaking of this, Shen Man was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Listening to what you said, today's incident is really incomprehensible. By the way, just now you said that she cooks for the Fu family, she is the eldest lady of the Su family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never been in the kitchen for half a step, so how can she cook. By the way, you can't be mistaken, right? ”
Su Jinling shook her head and said: "My daughter won't be mistaken, there were only Su Jinzhao and her maid in the kitchen at that time, and the cooks were all called outside by her, and her maid's cooking skills were not very good, she should have cooked herself, this is something my daughter is sure of."
