Chapter 99: Jindi

The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

Xue Su slept until it was dark, Qiu Ju held the water-soaked handkerchief in her hand, carefully wiped her face, and whispered, "Master, you don't know, just now in the main hall, the Hou Ye scolded Miss Xiao and cried bitterly, and when he left, his eyes were red and swollen, no different from walnuts, do you think she will continue to hold grudges?" โ€

In her previous life, Xue Su didn't have a good life at all, she saw a lot of people's warmth and warmth, and she saw human nature quite thoroughly, she knew that Xiao Yingnian had hated her for a long time, even if she was afraid of Chu Qinghe and didn't dare to do anything unruly, the resentment hidden in her heart would not decrease in the slightest, but would multiply because of today's events.

Shaking his head, Xue Su did not answer.

Putting aside the mixed thoughts, because she had just woken up, she felt a little hot, Chunlan took the strip of cloth to put the scattered hair together, felt the silky touch in her hand, and the little girl couldn't help touching it twice.

"Why should Madame think too much? After this incident, Miss Xiao ruined her reputation in front of all the ladies, in order to protect herself, she will definitely not toss again in the future, and our family still has the support of Master Hou, so there is no need to worry about it at all. โ€

The little hand rubbed the slightly bulging lower abdomen, and the woman's soft and tender lips were raised, and she said with a smile, "I hope." โ€

After a pause, she continued, "You go and call Xu Cheng over, the lotus leaf has been staring at it for a long time, see if there is any news." โ€

Hearing that she was going to go to the Xu guards, Chunlan bit her lower lip, her heart fluttered and jumped, and she didn't know if it was panic or something else. Fortunately, the maid was restrained, and she didn't show anything on her face, so she walked out of the door quickly and went to the front yard to find someone.

Xu Cheng and other guards have always stayed in a fixed place, and Chunlan has looked for him several times, and he can be regarded as familiar. The little maid stood in the corridor of the front yard and called softly:

"Xu Guards are here? Madame has asked you to come over. โ€

"Okay."

Xu Cheng was not bad, he barely made a sound when he walked, he suddenly appeared behind Chunlan, and his deep voice sounded in his ears, startling her. I saw that the woman's white little face turned red in an instant, like a boiled shrimp. Chunlan's face was hot, and she took a few steps back, probably because she was too embarrassed, she lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time.

After taking a deep look at the little maid, Xu Cheng followed behind her and soon walked to the main courtyard.

At this moment, Xue Su was sitting on the kang in the side hall, holding a bowl of almond milk in his hand, taking small sips.

Xu Cheng clasped his fists and saluted, without revealing the slightest emotion on his face.

"Before, your subordinates have been staring at the lotus leaf, what clues have you found?"

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, after Lotus Ye got the five hundred taels of silver, she never contacted the people behind the scenes, and she probably became an outcast." Xu Cheng shook his head and said.

To be honest, Xue Su was not surprised by such a result, Cheng Sanniang had also been in business for so many years, and her scheming city was far beyond ordinary women, if she could easily find clues, it would be too bad.

"That's it, you don't have to stare at the lotus leaf in the future, I will sell the human hair tomorrow, and she will be like a dog that smells meat, and she is greedy." After speaking, she waved her hand and motioned for Xu Cheng to step back.

He slowly left the side hall, and glanced back at Chunlan before leaving the door.

The next day, Xue Su took the carriage to Yan Ruyu, and called out the lotus leaf in front of everyone, the woman's delicate face had a hint of a smile, and a small dimple appeared on the cheeks, which was extremely sweet, but in the eyes of the lotus leaf, it made her heart chill, and the wisps of cold sweat wet the close-fitting clothes.

"Ma'am."

called timidly, what did she not do, as soon as she met Xue Su, she looked away with a weak heart, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Rubbing the tea lid with her fingertips, Xue Su beckoned, and the slightly chubby Ya Po walked into the door quickly, saluting her with a smile on her face, "The little woman greets Madame, dare to ask which maid you want to sell?" โ€

"That's what it's called lotus leaves." She said unhurriedly.

Hearing this, Lotus Ye's complexion changed greatly, and she knelt on the ground with a plop, and kept kowtowing, because of the excessive force used, the corners of her forehead oozed red blood after a few knocks, and slid down meanderingly, dripping on the bluestone slab.

"I don't know what the slave did wrong, you want to do this to me?" This maid's face was full of grievances, and she stared at Xue Su with a pair of eyes, which could not hide her resentment, Chunlan Qiuju watched from the side, and couldn't help but snort.

There are a total of ten maids like Lotus Leaf in the private hall, and the remaining nine people saw her so miserable, and their eyes showed unbearable looks. Xue Su looked around, saw their expressions clearly, couldn't help but sneer, and asked, "Do you know why I sold her?" โ€

Everyone shook their heads.

"The previous box of elephant bile ointment, someone added caustic soda, once a guest applied that ointment, the skin will be corroded pits, completely disfigured, how many noble female guests in the private hall, you will not be unclear, if you completely offend people, I will definitely not be able to protect you."

Working hard to run a private restaurant, Xue Su spent countless thoughts, if it was destroyed in the hands of a little maid, she would not be willing to die even if she died.

Hearing this, Lotus Ye's heart continued to sink, and her body was constantly trembling, like sifting chaff, she was still lucky, thinking that Mrs. had not pursued it these days, and had completely forgotten about the caustic soda matter, but she didn't think that it would take long for her to settle down, and she found the human tooth and wanted to sell herself directly.

When her father sold her, she signed a death contract, and if she really met a vicious master, even if she beat people to death, the government would not pay attention to them.

Thinking of this, she was frightened, and pleaded in a loud voice, "Madam, the slave knows that she is wrong, and I ask you to forgive me this time, there will be no ...... next time."

Lotus Ye cried at the top of her throat, tears and snot covered her face, the maids originally thought she was pitiful, but now they think she is hateful, because Yan Ruyu never harshly criticizes people, even if she does the work of serving people, it is not hard. On weekdays, they can get extremely rich rewards, if something really happens to the private house, they will not only lose their livelihood, but may even be imprisoned, and naturally they will not have the slightest sympathy for such a culprit.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and Xue Su retorted mercilessly, "Why does Mrs. Ben want to give you a chance?" You sold yourself into slavery, and there has never been any disadvantage in the private house, but you are not grateful, and you were bought by five hundred taels of silver, in this case, you will find the master behind you to rescue, why do you need my subordinates to show mercy? โ€

Turning his head to look at the Ya Po on the side, he said, "Li, like this kind of maid who betrays the master, Mrs. Ben doesn't accept anything, you just take people away, don't appear in front of me in the future." โ€

Hearing this, Li Yapo was secretly happy in her heart, she peeked at the lotus leaf, and found that this maid looked quite alive, if she was sold to a big family as a concubine, she could earn at least seventy or eighty taels.

She nodded and replied, and two mothers-in-law with tigers and bears walked out behind her, and tied the lotus leaf to death, the latter was almost frightened and struggled desperately, but her strength was not great, where could she get her wish? Soon his whole body was tied with hemp rope, and his mouth was stuffed with a soft cloth, and he could only make a humming and chirping sound.

The two mothers-in-law dragged people out of the private hall, and Li Yapo smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and thanked her again and again before leaving here.

After the others left, Xue Suxing's eyes showed a little coldness, and she slowly spoke, "Yan Ruyu will not treat you badly, but if someone is like Lotus Leaf and does such a betrayal of the master, don't blame Mrs. Ben for being ruthless." โ€

The maid looked at each other, but she didn't think that the way the lady handled the lotus leaf was wrong.

After all, she has always been lenient, and she is very generous, a few days ago, a maid was sick, and she sent Chunlan over to pay for the medicine. It's not easy to find such a kind owner, but anyone with a little conscience will not be as shameless as Lotus Ye.

The matter was handled properly, but Yan Ruyu never went wrong again. Time is like water, and it is already winter in the blink of an eye.

Now the child in Xue Su's womb is five months old, her body is not bulky, and she will walk around under the porch every day after meals, so as not to make the fetus too big and it will be very difficult to give birth.

Whenever this time, Chunlan Qiuju would support her left and right, for fear that something would go wrong, seeing their cautious appearance, Xue Su couldn't help laughing.

Just as he was about to say something, a silver-purple lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the entire canopy, which was extremely dazzling, and soon after, the rumbling thunder sounded in his ears, which lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the sound was so loud that it could almost burst people's eardrums.

Covering his ears with both hands, Xue Su suddenly remembered something.

In the previous life, after the huge thunder, there was a very serious earth dragon turned over in Jindi, with countless deaths and injuries, but the most terrible thing was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, the houses in the city overturned, and even the prison was collapsed.

Many victims poured into the capital, merchants pursued profits, and the price of rice in the city increased fivefold, and there were many complaints. At that time, Xue Su was still staying in Jingyang, and he had heard about the turmoil, which showed how critical the situation was.

Besides, because of the frequent chaos in Jindi, His Majesty sent people to suppress bandits, but as soon as the army arrived in the gorge of Jindi, there was another ground movement, and the grinding stone rolled down from the mountain stream, smashing thousands of people into flesh and mud alive, and even the generals who led the troops to suppress the bandits were not spared.

Thinking of that disaster, Xue Su's face turned slightly pale, and his silver teeth clenched, making a creaking sound.

In terms of bravery, strategy, there is no general in the DPRK who is comparable to Chu Qinghe, in the previous life, that person stayed in Jingyang, did not enter Beijing, and then someone else led the troops to Jindi, and now he is an auxiliary general, how can there be a reason to avoid war?
