Chapter 43: A Cold Heart

Unexpectedly, she noticed this, Xia Lian panicked for a moment, and then hurriedly calmed down before replying: "Girl, forgive me, the slave accidentally extinguished the lantern on the way back, fell on the road, fell into the flowers, and soiled her clothes and hair, so she went back to take a shower and change her clothes." ”

"Be careful in the future, I heard that my cousin accidentally fell into the lake and his clothes were all wet, and I thought you fell into the lake like him." Ji Yun looked at her twice before he spoke unhurriedly, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Xia Lian's heart jumped, almost thinking that she had seen what happened in the water pavilion, she looked up carefully at her face, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she hurriedly said: "The girl said that she laughed, and the young master was still in the water pavilion when the slave and maid left." Speaking of which, how could the young master accidentally fall into the lake, the girl has gone to see the young master? ”

Ji Yunshu watched her perform coldly, and played an innocent and dazed face vividly, it was really amazing, no wonder she had been kept in the dark by her.

Jiang Jiyang felt a little strange, Ji Yunshu had always been gentle to the maid, but in the conversation between her and the maid in front of her, she showed a little indifference and detachment, and he looked at Xia Lian twice.

Noticing Jiang Jiyang's eyes, Xia Lian's gaze turned around Ji Yunshu and him, and asked, "Girl, is this son ......?"

"Okay, it's late at night, don't talk here, send your girl back to rest." Subconsciously felt that Ji Yunshu didn't want to talk to this maid anymore, Jiang Jiyang interrupted impatiently.

Ji Yunshu didn't even look at him, and walked into the courtyard.

Xia Lian blessed him, looked at him again, and hurriedly followed.

Jiang Jiyang stood in place thinking about what was wrong with Ji Yunshu tonight, frowned and thought for a moment before turning around and leaving.

Ji Yunshu didn't sleep well all night, and when she got up the next morning, she was a little unenergetic, Ying'er saw it, went to Rongshantang to say goodbye, and the old lady exempted her from saying hello early in the morning.

Ji Yunyun's foot injury is not healed yet, and she doesn't need to go to ask for peace, she woke up early to see Ji Yunshu. When he came over, Ji Yunshu was still leaning on the head of the bed, his hair was scattered and had not been combed.

"Big sister, last night...... It's all my fault, it's my bad idea. Ji Yunshu asked Chun Tao to push her to the side of the bed, and when she saw that Ji Yunshu's face was a little pale, she blamed herself.

Ji Yunshu waved his hand to let the maids retreat, and then smiled at her, "How could it be your fault, the idea was thought up by the two of us together." ”

“…… What is the big sister going to do? In fact, it was Zhou Gongzi who Xia Lian took the initiative to seduce, and Zhou Gongzi didn't necessarily have a heart for her. Zhou Gongzi and his eldest sister are childhood sweethearts, and they were so good to their eldest sister in the past, the eldest sister is noble and beautiful, where is that Xia Lian can compare, Zhou Gongzi can't look down on her. As long as Xia Lian is not allowed to stay in the mansion and get close to Zhou Gongzi, he will definitely be fine. Ji Yunyun said comforting words, but in fact, he was not sure about these words in his heart.

Ji Yunshu shook his head, his face was a little sad, "It is precisely because of my childhood sweetheart that I know my cousin, even if he is not tempted, he is a little different from Xia Lian." ”

Ji Yunyun had nothing to say, she sat with Ji Yunshu for a while, Ji Yunshu wanted to wash, and she came out. A maid came up with tea, she saw Xia Lian coming in from outside, saw her, turned around and was about to withdraw, chuckled, and said, "Why do you want to leave when you see me, do you want to see me?" ”

Xia Lian had no choice but to come back and bless her body, explaining: "The second girl forgives her sins, the slave and maid remembered what the eldest girl said last night that she wanted to drink milk, and she wanted to go to the kitchen to see if she was ready." ”

"You don't need to go, the little maid outside will go when she tells me, you come and pour me tea." Ji Yunyun glanced at Chun Tao, and Chun Tao went to the door to call a little maid who was cleaning the yard to come over and give an order.

Xia Lian came over to pour her tea with a heart, and as soon as the tea was half poured, the table suddenly moved, and Xia Lian's tea was poured crookedly, poured onto the table, and then flowed to Ji Yunyun's arm placed on the table.

"Why can't you pour tea?" Ji Yunyun was a little angry, she raised her arms, her sleeves were all wet, and her white arms were a little red from the hot tea.

"The second girl forgives her sins." Xia Lian hurriedly knelt down.

"I can't even pour tea, and I don't know how to take care of my big sister on weekdays. From this day forward, you go back to the laundry! Ji Yunyun commanded angrily.

"Second girl, I was wrong, big girl, don't send me back to the laundry room." Xia Lian listened, remembered those hard days in the laundry room, begged Ji Yunyun, and loudly begged Ji Yunshu inside.

Ji Yunshu came out of the room, Chun Tao hugged her girl's reddened arm, stomped her feet and said, "Big girl, this maid poured tea and burned my girl's arm." ”

Ji Yunshu frowned, ignored Xia Lian's cry, and ordered, "Go and ask for a doctor." ”

"Big sister, how can the maid who is serving in your house be so frizzy, this time it's me, what should I do next time I burn other guests? Send her back to the laundry room. Ji Yunyun frowned.

"Big girl, I won't do it next time, spare me this time......" Xia Lian sobbed and begged Ji Yunshu.

Ji Yunshu glanced down at her, and ordered lightly: "You burned the second girl, go back and pack your clothes, and I will let someone send you back to the laundry room." ”

After speaking, he instructed the maid outside, "Send her back to pack her clothes." ”

Xia Lian was pulled out, the voice of pleading was far gone, Ji Yunshu walked to Ji Yunyun's side and looked at her arm, and said helplessly: "How is the arm?" Are there any burns? ”

"No, it's just a little red." Ji Yunyun grinned and asked Chun Tao to call the maid who invited the doctor back.

When they played this play, Ying'er and the maids were a little confused, and they seemed to understand whether they understood that the two girls seemed to be deliberate, just to send that Xia Lian back to the laundry room.

The night before, he fell into the water, and was sent back to the laundry room, his mood fluctuated, and after washing his clothes for another day, Xia Lian fell ill when he went back to the place where he lived, and his condition was menacing, and he didn't get out of bed for two days.

On this day, Zhou Heng came to the house to see Ji Yunshu again, the two talked in the courtyard for a while, seeing that Zhou Heng was a little absent-minded, his eyes kept looking at the passing maid, Ji Yunshu felt a little cold in her heart, she pretended to be casual and asked, "What is my cousin looking at?" ”

Zhou Heng retracted his gaze and smiled disguisedly: "It's nothing, there don't seem to be many maids in my cousin's house, is it enough on weekdays?" ”

"Serving me alone is naturally enough." Ji Yunshu said.

"It's good to have enough, if it's not enough, I have a few decent maids in the house who can be sent to my cousin." After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he turned around and asked, "By the way, how is that maid named Xia Lian serving?" She has been with her cousin all these days, and her cousin is satisfied with her? ”

Sure enough, I was going to ask Xia Lian. Ji Yunshu's heart was completely cold, she looked at Zhou Heng fixedly and said, "I sent her back to the laundry room." ”

“…… Is it? Zhou Heng was stunned, "Cousin is not satisfied with her?" She was born in a poor family, and she was not taught in the house since she was a child, so she is naturally inferior to other maids in the house in terms of serving people. But anyway, she also saved her cousin, so let's give her a more relaxed place to stay. ”

"She burned her second sister's arm, and there is only a shortage of people in the laundry room in the house." Ji Yunshu looked at him, and his tone gradually became cold, "Cousin cares about her so much, why don't you take her back to your mansion?" ”

Zhou Heng noticed that her tone was a little bad, and hurriedly smiled: "What did my cousin say, I care about you, there is a maid like Xia Lian who misses your kindness and only wants to repay your kindness to take care of you by your side, I am also relieved." ”

"There are a few maids who have been taken care of by my side since I was a child, and my cousin doesn't have to worry about it." Ji Yunshu said lightly, then propped his forehead and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable, cousin, please go back." ”

"What's wrong with my cousin, but I want to ask a doctor to take a look?" Zhou Heng asked with concern.

"No, just go to bed and lie down." Ji Yunshu shook his head and asked Ying'er to send him out.

When Zhou Heng went out, Ji Yunshu sat with his forehead on his back for a while, and when he saw Ying'er coming back, he asked, "Has he continued to inquire about Xia Lian?" ”

Ying'er hesitated to speak, "I inquired and asked when the girl sent her back to the laundry room." ”

"Then did you tell him about Xia Lian's illness?" Ji Yunshu then asked.

Ying'er nodded, "Tell me, Young Master Cousin looked a little surprised, and then left without saying anything." ”

"Did you send someone to follow him quietly?" Ji Yunshu asked again.

"It's sent, let Mingzhu follow." After Ying'er finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Girl, why are you doing this to the young master?" Is something wrong? ”

"You'll know when Mingzhu comes back." Ji Yunshu rubbed his forehead and stood up, and said a little weakly: "Help me go back to the house to rest." ”

After about a quarter of an hour, Mingzhu came back, and she told her that Zhou Heng did not go out of the house directly, but broke up the maid who led the way, and quietly went to the direction of the laundry room alone, and stayed in the room where Xia Lian lived for a while before coming out.

It's all come to this point, what else does Ying'er not understand, she is shocked and angry: "Young Master Cousin...... How can the young master do this to the girl! I actually carried the girl on my back and messed with the maid in the girl's room! ”

She remembered her girl's abnormal behavior these days, and understood: "The girl already knew? ”

Seeing her girl's silent admit, Ying'er stomped her feet angrily, "No, I'm going to tell Mrs. and Master!" ”

Ji Yunshu stopped her, "Ying'er, don't let your father and mother know yet." ”

"Why, girl. Do you want to leave it alone? Ying'er didn't understand why her girl could be so calm.

"I have my own ideas." Ji Yunshu propped his head and said in a deep tone.

Seeing the girl's attitude, Ying'er didn't want to ask any more, so she had to shut up and stop talking.
