Chapter 8: Entering the House

Under the instruction of the housekeeper, Ling Xiaoxiao was pressed into the bucket by a group of maids, rubbing left and right, and almost peeled off a layer of skin on her body, and after bathing, she put on a thin veil on her body, and the skin under her clothes was looming, and Ling Xiaoxiao looked like she was about to get goosebumps.

After the maid cleaned herself up, Ling Xiaoxiao grabbed some of the ornaments on her head and looked back and forth in the mirror, "This old man's taste is really strange?" "Why do you want to dress yourself up like this, wear clothes as if you don't wear them, and there is a bunch of messy headdresses on your head, but this headdress looks quite expensive, maybe you can sell some silver to make up for A-Niang's family, so I think about it, I feel a little better just now.

"By the way, I almost forgot that." As if she suddenly remembered something, Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly trotted to the bed, rummaged on the bed, and then a paper bag appeared in her hand, this was her tool for revenge, if she didn't have this thing, then her previous efforts would be in vain.

According to the description of the previous second master, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and it only occurs five days after taking it, which makes people feel painful, and life is worse than death, so that she can completely clear her suspicion in time.

"Pacha-" A broken voice sounded outside the house, interrupting Ling Xiaoxiao's thoughts, crisp and piercing.

The originally calm mood was tensed because of this sound, and he hurriedly put the paper bag back in its place, put the messy things in order, and then trotted to the door, put his ear to the door, and listened carefully to the sound coming from outside the door, as if there was a quarrel.

Just as he was about to go out to find out, he glanced at what he was wearing, and was speechless for a while, then looked around the house, and casually took a piece of clothing from the closet and put it on.

opened the door and followed the sound to walk forward, until he came to the back garden and saw a figure not far away, Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly hid behind the rockery.

"I'm sorry, young master, the slave won't dare next time. Spare the slave and maid. A maid fell to her knees and begged for mercy, with a broken tea set at her feet.

"Are you on your first day in the house? It's such a low-level mistake, you should pack up and leave now. As soon as the man standing in front of the maid finished speaking, he saw the maid on the ground kowtowing desperately and begging for mercy: "Steward Zhang, please spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid are old and young, I really can't lose this job......"

Perhaps it was the sound of the maid crying that disturbed the peace in the garden, at this time, the man sitting on the stone bench frowned and waved his hand, and Steward Zhang hurriedly dragged the maid out of the back garden.

Ling Xiaoxiao, who witnessed the vision in front of her, although she hated the man's behavior in her heart, she still remembered Xiao Anzi's repeated instructions before leaving, it was none of her business, and she immediately returned to the cottage after completing the task, silently reciting these words, and she was about to evacuate when she suddenly heard a voice from ahead.

"Have you seen enough of the play?"

Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she looked ahead, and her eyes met the man's gaze, and the man was looking her up and down thoughtfully.

Resigned to his fate, he came out from behind the rockery, "Hehe, I was just passing by, not deliberately peeking." Ling Xiaoxiao explained embarrassedly, as if she couldn't convince herself of this reason.

The man stood up and slowly walked in front of her, his slender and upright figure making Ling Xiaoxiao feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"You're the little girl who just entered the house today." Not an interrogative sentence, but a declarative sentence.

Ling Xiaoxiao chuckled in her heart, and then lowered her eyebrows, "Back to the eldest young master, the slave maid is fortunate to have the help of the master today, and the mother can be buried safely, the slave and maid are grateful, and voluntarily enter the house as a slave and serve the master for life." ”

"Oh, really?" The man's joking voice sounded overhead, and then, Ling Xiaoxiao felt his chin being slowly lifted by a folding fan, until he met the man's gaze again, deep and elusive, as if he was about to be sucked in.

Ling Xiaoxiao took a few steps back in a panic, "Big young master, if there is nothing wrong, the slave will go back to the room first." After speaking, before the man could reply, he hurried back, and did not dare to return along the way.

Closing the door, Ling Xiaoxiao took a big breath, sat down on the chair, and slowly relaxed, thinking of the eldest young master who had just pulled people to inquire on the road, who knew that when the other party heard these words, he was like a poisonous snake and beast, and they couldn't help it, so he could see the terrible thing about this person, he slapped his legs with both hands, and scolded secretly: "Let you run around, almost ran into an accident." "It's still a little scary to think about it now.

At night, there was silence all around.

"Gollum-" Ling Xiaoxiao covered her shriveled stomach with her hands, her chin resting on the table, listless.

"Didn't you say that you would sleep at night? Why is there no movement now, and the most odious thing is that I won't eat dinner-" shouted silently, as if the butler had forgotten himself, except for someone who brought some food at noon, until now, no one appeared here, not even dinner.

After struggling at the table for a while, he finally gave up and struggled with sleepiness, took a step, and threw himself on the bed, anyway, nothing should happen tonight.

After a while, Ling Xiaoxiao fell asleep, chicken legs and roast duck were all the foods she liked to eat, and just as she was about to feast, the dream was interrupted.

"Hey, wake up."

Opening his blurred eyes, a magnified face appeared in front of his eyes, Ling Xiaoxiao was frightened and hurriedly sat up, and his sleepiness disappeared in shock.

"You... You guys.. What do you want to do?." Pointing to the group of people beside the bed, he asked tremblingly.

"Girl, the master has summoned you to bed." One of the people in front replied.

"Bed?!" Ling Xiaoxiao immediately came to her senses, perhaps realizing that she was a little excited, she hurriedly coughed and lowered her voice: "Has the master summoned the slave and maid to sleep?" ”

After confirmation, Ling Xiaoxiao suppressed her excitement, let a group of maids fiddle, followed the housekeeper, and came to a room.

He took out the paper bag from under the sole, poured two glasses of water from the table, slowly poured the white powder from the paper bag into one of the teacups, and shook it gently until it was completely integrated.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, Ling Xiaoxiao hurriedly stuffed the paper bag back into the soles of her shoes, sorted out her makeup up and down, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and looked at the door, where the fat-headed and big-eared Master Li was pushing the door in.

"Hiccup-" The smell of alcohol in her whole body made Ling Xiaoxiao frown uncomfortably, but she still greeted it very professionally, recalling the scene she had observed in the Piaoxiang Courtyard before, and pinched her throat, "Master-"
