Yuping is willing to believe.

But it can't be easily believed.

What Lu Jiayue said, for her, was a temptation that she could not resist and refuse.

She began to waver.

Lu Jiayue saw the hesitation in Yuping's expression, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"I heard that on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the second lady beat and punished you just because she suspected that you were not tight-lipping, and now do you think the second lady will easily return your freedom? Let you leave the Qu family, so that you can spread all her privacy at will? With her temperament, I'm afraid that she will let you die of old age in the Qu family? ”

Yuping's face gradually turned pale.

What kind of character Duan's personality is, she knows best.

Although she had never betrayed the Duan family, she seemed to have lost the trust of the Duan family.

I'm afraid that no matter how loyal she is in the future, the Duan family will no longer give her half a penny.

So how can she regain her freedom and return to her hometown to marry her cousin?

Lu Jiayue let out a long sigh and looked worried.

"You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, in fact, I just don't want to be secretly calculated, but I'm still kept in the dark, and I'm just a good person."

Yuping's whole person trembled.

It seems that this Miss Cousin has really sensed the second lady's thoughts...

It is impossible for the second lady to return her freedom, she might as well be attached to her, and only she can always give herself some hope.

What's more, she has a request for herself, and she should not be untrustworthy.

There was no choice.

Yuping knelt in front of Lu Jiayue and kowtowed.

Under Lu Jiayue's signal, Yuxiang helped the jade screen up.

Yuping's face was full of pleading, and she said with a crying voice: "The slave is willing to tell Miss Table everything she knows, and only asks Miss Table to keep her promise and return the slave and maid to freedom." ”

Lu Jiayue nodded, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, since I promised you, I will never break my word." ”

Yuping looked at Lu Jiayue, his eyes were slightly hesitant, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke angrily.

"Second Madam--- she does have a plot against Miss Cousin!"

This was within Lu Jiayue's expectations, so she smiled faintly and said, "What kind of plot is it, you can tell me in detail." ”

Yuping said that day, after Qu Rong first met Lu Jiayue in the Dark Fragrance Garden, he went back to the second room to discuss with the Duan family secretly, and said it 1510.

Lu Jiayue gasped when she heard this.

So that's how it was... So that's it!

In vain, she always thought that the Duan family and Qu Rong were just greedy for power, and when they saw that there were high branches to climb, they would abandon her...

But it turned out that his mother and son actually used her as a stepping stone.

When you can use it, keep it, and if you don't need it one day, or if you encounter a better choice, kick her away!

What a dirty means, what a despicable intention!

Poor for her in her previous life, she was so naïve and ignorant, when the Duan family and Qu Rong's mother and son coaxed her, she didn't even notice it...

Lu Jiayue's heart was cold.

Yuping said again: "But Miss Biao, you didn't pay attention to the fourth young master, the fourth young master seemed to be very sad, but the second lady was very angry, and said some ugly things behind her back many times to insult you... Recently, the Fourth Young Master has quieted down, and I no longer hear him and the Second Lady mention you..."

That's nature.

exposed the nature of Qu Rong and Duan's mother and son in person, if Qu Rong still has half a sense of shame, he should retreat.

Fortunately, the plot of his mother and son succeeded, which was already a matter of his previous life.

In this life, she is the only one who calculates others, how can she easily let others calculate her!

Lu Jiayue's eyes were cold, and she waved her hand, not wanting to listen to the dirty thoughts of Duan's and Qu Rong's mother and son.

Turning the subject, he asked Yuping: "Regarding the addition of armor shields by the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War and the submission of the cost slip to the Ministry of Households, have you heard the second master mention it?" ”

Yuping was stunned, and her face was embarrassed.

"I'm now being driven out by the second lady to serve, and if I want to hear any news again, it's far less convenient than before, but Miss Biao said about this, I heard Cui Ping mention a sentence or two, saying that the second master is for what to cost silver, and he resents the eldest master very much, saying that the eldest master doesn't miss brotherhood at all, and refuses to do any good things, and the second lady listens to it, and also complains about the eldest master."

Lu Jiayue nodded.

It seems that his guess is correct.

The second master, Qu Xian, really didn't get the cost of four or five thousand taels of silver, so he hated his uncle Qu Hong.

I had already planned to no longer let the second room be left alone, but Qu Xian had already taken refuge in the King of Wei, what should I do to cut off the connection between the second room and the King of Wei?

The people in the second room are all suspicious, a nest of snakes and rats, without the backer of King Wei, the second room can only clamp his tail in the Qu family and be honest.

Lu Jiayue pondered to herself.

After a long time, he said to Yuping tentatively: "I still need you to continue to stay in the second room now, as for how long it will last, it will not exceed two or three years, you just keep an eye on some personnel movements in the second room for me, if you do a good job, when you leave the Qu family in the future, I will buy you a few more dowries, how about it?" ”

Yuping pondered for a moment and nodded.

Yuxiang took out a silver ticket that Lu Jiayue asked her to prepare early in the morning and handed it to Yuping.

Things went so smoothly, Lu Jiayue couldn't help but feel relieved, and said with a smile: "I wanted to give you cash, but I'm afraid of a little bit, this is a silver ticket of fifty taels, you take it first, if you have the opportunity, ask a reliable person to bring it back to buy some things for your parents at home." ”

Yuping trembled and held the silver ticket in his hand, and tears came down.

Back then, she sold the death deed and became a slave in the Qu family, and the silver she sold was only ten taels.

Now with these fifty taels, the family can buy a few more acres of better fields, and the life of the parents at home can be more abundant.

Yuping was about to kneel down and kowtow again, but was pulled by Yuxiang.

Lu Jiayue smiled warmly: "You just have to be good for me, if you have anything, you can find Yuxiang to tell me first." Rest assured, I will never treat you badly. ”

As soon as the day entered April, it gradually became hot.

The four seasons begonias of Chuntang House are also blooming.

The pink stamens of the tree are in full bloom, hidden in the green leaves, green, fat, red and thin, and it is very good-looking.

When Ding Yu came in, he saw that the little maids in the courtyard were all circling around the begonias, and Lu Jiayue was sitting alone under the porch, leaning on the edge of the railing with her hands, as if enjoying the flowers.

I saw that she was wearing a pink and green shirt and a jade and white crepe skirt, looking very cool and plain, and she was also holding a silk and gold fan in her hand, and she was gently fanning it from time to time.

Look at that look, it's really leisurely and comfortable.

"I've been suffocating something at home these days, sister, you're at ease..."

Ding Yu said with a bitter face, as he walked up.

"Sister is here?" Lu Jiayue answered, hurriedly called the little maid to pour tea for Ding Yu, and asked Ding Yu to sit down beside her, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" If you don't feel happy at home, move in with me for a few days, and the old lady is not in good health lately, so you can often go and say hello. ”

Ding Yu took the fetal chrysanthemum rock sugar tea offered by the little maid, drank two sips, and began to vomit bitter water.

"It's not because of my second uncle? After returning from the spring banquet in the palace that day, I don't know what happened to him, he had a tense face all day long, didn't say anything, no one paid attention, the maids and servants in the family were afraid of him, and when I saw him recently, I didn't even dare to get angry, and the family now seemed to be covered by dark clouds, except for my grandfather and mother, everyone had to look at the second uncle's face carefully, you say, is he angry? ”
