The weather in early spring was not hot, but Master Xia sat next to Xia Ruixi, and he was faintly sweating, and he didn't know if it was really hot or he was anxious. Anyway, he couldn't sit down anymore, he just wanted to go out and ride a horse to blow a cool breeze to cool down, so he patted the car door: "Stop." ”

When the car stopped, he said to Xia Ruixi: "I'll go horseback riding." Your mother and I didn't want you to know about this, but now it seems that we can't hide it, I called Wan'er over, if you want to know anything, you can ask her. You see, it's better to know about it in the future. When you're done with business, stay here, the car is empty anyway, so don't squeeze with your sister, just sleep if you want. He fully understood Xia Ruixi's thoughts and worries, but there were some things that he couldn't say too clearly, so he could only go through the maid.

Xia Ruixi wanted to ask him how he planned to deal with Wan'er: "Dad, Wan'er......"

Master Xia paused and threw down a sentence: "Downgrade her one level first, and the rest ...... The road is inconvenient, let her go to the capital happily. ”

Besides, Wan'er has always been worried, although today's events are thrilling, but she is the one who serves Xia Ruixi closely, Xia Ruixi's food and drink have passed through her hands, and she proposed to go to the woman's house. She knew that she would not be able to get rid of the punishment no matter what, so when Master Xia beat her before, she didn't dare to beg for mercy, and she was already prepared for the worse - to be killed or sold.

Hearing Master Xia call her, she was even more worried, fortunately, Master Xia just downgraded her level with a light word, did not mention the matter of beating her or selling her, and explained to her, if the second lady wanted to ask her any questions, let her know everything, and say everything, she couldn't help but see a little hope - it turned out that she still had this use. So, she was full of hope again, she thought, when the second miss let the woman's house be smashed, her performance was not bad, and she had always rushed to the front, maybe she could take this opportunity to please the second miss to avoid this disaster.

Wan'er made up her mind to get into the carriage, and when she saw Xia Ruixi's gloomy expression, she couldn't help but be a little scared, but she was afraid that Xia Ruixi would not spare her if she was scolded, so she shrank aside after saluting.

Xia Ruixi took out the purse and handed it to her: "This is your purse, right?" ”

"It's a slave, where did the young lady find it?"

"I didn't find it, but the old man found it in the woman's house." Xia Ruixi's face was expressionless, "What do you have to tell me about today's events?" It is a coincidence that all my food and drink have passed through your hands, and it is the woman you have gone to find and your purse found in her house. Daddy just demoted you, according to me, it's not enough. ”

Wan'er was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a white face, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak: "Miss Mingjian, the slave and maid really don't know about this matter, and the slave and maid are innocent." If the young lady doesn't believe it, you can check it. ”

"Look? Where to check? How to check? Go to Zhao Mingtao to check? Ask him if he gave you any favor to harm me? Xia Ruixi suddenly lowered his voice: "Originally, I didn't believe that you had such courage. But I found out that not only did you not help me at that time, but also helped Zhao Mingtao say good things, I don't know, I still think he is your master, which makes me have to doubt...... Oh, I forgot to tell my lord about this, and if he listens, he will definitely think so. "The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and she will too.

"The slave is wronged, the slave is wronged!" Wan'er swooped over and hugged Xia Ruixi's feet, begging desperately, "Miss, the slave has been serving you since you were a child, and it has been ten years. It was the Xia family who fed the slave maid, and even if the slave maid didn't remember it, she didn't have the courage to do this bully thing. The slave knows that the slave and the maid are not doing well in many places and cannot satisfy you, but the slave and the maid will change it in the future, and you will do whatever you want, and you will never be angry again. She was really wronged, she didn't dare to offend Zhao Mingtao, she always wanted to leave a way back for herself, but if she was asked to harm Xia Ruixi, she didn't have such courage. The death of Hong'er alone made her clamp her tail and be a human being for a long time, how could she dare to do such a lifeless thing?

Seeing that Wan'er was scared half to death, Xia Ruixi secretly laughed, she naturally knew how much Wan'er was so selfish that she loved her life, but this dead girl had a lot of eyes and thieves, so if she didn't scare her, she would always hide two sentences out of ten sentences. Xia Ruixi couldn't help laughing, and said with a calm face: "You want to change?" Can you change it? I'm afraid you'll forget what you've said when the time comes. ”

"No, no, the slave has a good memory, and it will definitely be improved." Wan'er was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

"Then you can do it for me."

"What does the young lady want the slave to do?"

"First tell me about the past, especially this Ming Gongzi, you also heard what he said to me today, I want to know what it means. If there is a little bit of concealment, not only will I not spare you, but I am afraid that the master will not spare you. ”

Wan'er didn't rush to curry favor with Xia Ruixi, but fell silent. She is calculating how likely it is that Xia Ruixi and Ming Gongzi will become a family in the future, what part she needs to say, and how to make Xia Ruixi feel her loyalty, but also not bury hidden dangers for her future life and offend Zhao Mingtao.

As soon as Xia Ruixi saw her appearance, he knew that she still didn't shed tears when she didn't see the coffin, and couldn't help sneering: "What is it still worth?" What is best for you? I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Forget it, you don't want to say that I won't force you. Go back and let Chun'er serve me. ”

Wan'er hurriedly said: "The slave is thinking, where to start with this matter." ”

"Well, you can think about it slowly. However, I would like to remind you that it is impossible for you to do everything, and I am not a fool. This is your last chance, you have it figured out. ”

Xia Ruixi's words can be regarded as a complete awakening of Wan'er, to be honest, the temper of the Xia family is not that kind of gentle type in general, a little irritable, and a little grudge against the people who bullied him, but there is really nothing to be picky about taking care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of his subordinates. The subordinates of his family, if they keep to themselves, their lives are much better than those of ordinary rich and noble families. Moreover, Wan'er felt that she had worked hard for so many years, and it was not easy to get to the position of a first-class girl, and she could be promoted again if she was demoted, if she was killed or sold, it would be miserable that could be seen.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret it, at that time, she should have worked hard to satisfy the second lady, even if she offended Ming Gongzi, at least she could please her master. No matter who Xia Ruixi will marry in the future, what she needs to please the most at present is Xia Ruixi, she has to live well first, otherwise everything is fake. After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally made up her mind: "Miss, that Ming Gongzi is not a good person. You'll have to watch out for him. ”

Xia Ruixi looked at her with interest: "Oh? Tell me, how is he not a good guy anymore? Didn't you tell me that he wouldn't harm me? You don't want to turn black and white upside down just to please me. ”

Wan'er blushed and said in a low voice: "Isn't the slave afraid that Miss will still treat Ming Gongzi...... Well...... If it is ...... in the future He hates slaves and maids, and if you don't like slaves and maids, slaves and maids will have no way to live. Tears fell down one by one, "Miss, you are a rich life, and you have been held in the palm of your hand by the old lady since you were a child." I don't know the suffering of the slaves and maids, who are like a mustard and a sloppy life, they have no home and no roots, and the wind will blow away when the wind is stronger. ”

Xia Ruixi heard her tell the truth, and her tears softened her heart, and her voice softened: "Don't cry, if you do it well in the future, it's not that you can't live a good life." "It is human instinct to work hard to live and live better, and it is no longer a thought to be a concubine, but let Wan'er match a good boy, she seems to be able to do it, right?

Wan'er wiped away her tears and squeezed out a smile: "When does Miss start listening?" ”

"Let's start with how I met him."

After thinking about the stakes, Wan'er didn't dare to hide anything, knelt on the floor of the carriage and began to tell the story of Miss Xia Er and that Ming Gongzi.

It sounds like a very simple story.

The innocent, reckless and simple girl was excluded from the social circle of the young lady, and she met the gentle son who traveled in micro-clothes. The rudeness that was ridiculed by others was naïve and reckless in his eyes, and the brainless who was despised by others became innocent in his eyes.

Although they have only met a few times, and due to the rules and etiquette, the two basically have no chance to get along alone, and most of the time they are just eyebrows, but the girl who is just in love has found a soulmate, and there is no room for others in her eyes from then on. She wants to marry him, and she follows the end of the world, sharing honor and disgrace. He also made it clear that he would not marry her, but he did not come to the door to propose marriage for a long time. She went to ask him, and he said bitterly that the rules of the palace were big, and some people didn't want her to marry him, and he didn't want to wronged her, and when he got ahead, he would marry her in style.

She said that she didn't care, as long as she was with him, she didn't complain about eating bran vegetables. He was extremely moved, and said that he would let people go to Master Xia to propose marriage first. She looked through the autumn water and didn't see the matchmaker coming to the door, but her parents didn't know about it from somewhere, and they were furious, punished and knelt, grounded, and didn't allow her to go out again, let alone think about that man anymore. She couldn't understand why her father, who had always loved her and spoiled her, hated that perfect man so much, and when she was told that her parents were going to marry her far away to Tokyo, she suddenly figured it out after her grief, and stayed quietly at home for a while, but after both parents had let their guard down, she fled on the day she was fifteen years old. In the end, he was sent back by the carriage of Shouwangfu, and no one knew what really happened that day.

Xia Ruixi finally grasped the key point she wanted to know, "Although they have only met a few times, and due to the rules and etiquette, the two basically have no chance to get along alone, and most of the time they are just eyebrows." That is to say, before the day of the meeting, the predecessor and Zhao Mingtao were only affectionate and polite, there was no substantial physical contact, every move was under the gaze of others, and the predecessor had nothing to threaten Zhao Mingtao. But what happened on the day of the day?

Zhao Mingtao told her before that he knew that she had been wronged last time, and let her rest assured that he would definitely be angry with her in the future. What great grievances did the predecessor suffer on that day? He will definitely be angry with her in the future, and who are he going to be angry with? And Master Xia's performance is also extraordinary, what is involved in this?
