Chapter 20 Withholding the Moon
On this day, in the Moxiang Courtyard, several delicate begonias bloomed, revealing a noble and elegant atmosphere, and the maid green buds were holding scissors in their arms, and they were carefully pruning the begonias.
The bright noon sun passed through the branches, falling mottled shadows, Qingya raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat on his forehead, looked at the begonias that had been trimmed, and was ready to put away the scissors and go back to the house to rest.
At this moment, suddenly, several people rushed in, and the mother-in-law who took the lead pointed to the courtyard and said coldly: "That thief just ran into this courtyard, search for me." ”
Qingya was shocked, the scissors suddenly fell out of her hand, and the mother-in-law who took the lead was Mother Zhou beside the eldest lady, and she hurriedly turned around to go to the inner room to find Miss Chuyu.
At this hour, Miss was still taking a nap, and Zhou's mother pinched this time to come over, obviously with ulterior motives.
When Zhou's mother heard the voice, her eyes swept away, and she scolded: "Don't let her go!" ”
The nursing home immediately stepped forward to detain Qingya, and Qingya struggled a few times to no avail, so she had to shout: "Mother Zhou, you trespassed into the courtyard of the third lady without permission, have you ever thought about the consequences?" ”
Mother Zhou walked up to Qingya and sneered: "A thief entered the courtyard of the third lady, I did it to protect the third miss, could it be that you colluded with the thief to stop me?" ”
Qingya gritted her teeth: "Then let's see what Miss says when she wakes up in a while!" ”
Mother Zhou raised her hand and landed on the side of Qingya's face, her fair face suddenly appeared bright red handprints, Qingya was beaten and turned her head, but she was held by the nursing home and couldn't move.
"It's just a lowly lackey next to the third lady." Mother Zhou sneered, turned her head to look at the searching nursing home again, and said, "Move faster, did you find the thief?" ”
"When Miss wakes up, she won't let you go!" Qingya only felt a hot pain on the side of her face, although she didn't know what Mother Zhou's intention was, but it was definitely for the third miss, and as the third miss, she couldn't even go in and report it.
Hearing this, Zhou's mother turned her head to stare at Qingya, her eyes were deep and cold, she suddenly reached into Qingya's waist, Qingya wanted to twist away, but she couldn't move because she was caught by the nursing hospital, she only felt Zhou's mother's rough hand rubbing against her waist, and then pinched a small piece of meat on her body, her nails were embedded in it, and she twisted it fiercely, she suddenly screamed in pain, but Zhou's mother still refused to let go.
"Isn't it very eloquent? Say it again and see! Mother Zhou said fiercely.
After a while, the nursing home grabbed a person from the side room and walked out: "Mother Zhou, I have been caught, this is this person." ”
"Sister Bangyue!" Qingya exclaimed.
The person who was detained by the nursing home was Bang Yue beside Su Wanqiu, but at this time, Bang Yue's clothes were messy, and her hair was also scattered, obviously caused by the struggle just now, Bang Yue's expression was barely calm, she glanced at Qingya, and said, "I'll inform the third lady in a while." ”
Zhou's mother sneered, grabbed Qingya's clothes with one hand, and pushed Qingya out, Qingya suddenly fell to the ground, and when she raised her head again, she saw Zhou's mother and several nurses holding Bang Yue and going out.
Qingya barely got up from the ground, and didn't care about anything else, so she rushed into the main house and shouted, "Sister Chuyu, Sister Chuyu!" ”
Hearing the sound, Chu Yu lifted the curtain of the inner room, and scolded with some displeasure: "Miss is still taking a lunch break, you whisper-"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Yu was taken aback when he saw Qingya's red and swollen face, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" What happened? ”
"Just now, Mother Zhou rushed in with someone and said that she wanted to catch the thief, and then she arrested Sister Bang Yue." As Qing Ya spoke, tears couldn't help but flow, wiping her tears.
Chu Yu was a little surprised and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and talk to the third lady." ”
She turned around and entered the inner room, Su Wanqiu was still lying on the floor, her delicate face was covered with light sweat, and she seemed to be sleeping extremely unsteadily.
"Miss......" Chu Yu called in a low voice.
Su Wanqiu's long eyelashes trembled, and then she opened her water-like eyes, and her voice was a little lazy and hoarse: "What time is it?" ”
Chu Yu knew that Su Wanqiu had been unable to sleep recently, even if she fell asleep, as long as she had a slight sound, she would be disturbed.
"It's just noon." Chu Yu pondered and spoke, "Miss, Bang Yue was taken away by Mother Zhou, who was next to the eldest lady, and Qingya is waiting outside now." ”
Su Wanqiu's slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, she should have just woken up, her voice was still a little hoarse, she said, "Help me up first." ”
"Yes."
Chu Yu served Su Wanqiu and got up to dress up, and then called Qingya in.
Qingya's eyes were rippling with tears, and as soon as she entered the inner room, she knelt down and cried: "Miss, Mother Zhou really deceived people too much just now. ”
Su Wanqiu nodded, and said softly: "Get up, don't worry, speak slowly." ”
"Just now, the slave maid was pruning the flower branches, and Zhou's mother suddenly brought someone in, saying that there was a thief in the yard, and the slave maid wanted to come to inform the young lady, but was caught by Zhou's mother's people." Qingya said, raised her hand to lift her shirt, revealing the bruises and purple marks on her waist, and she said aggrievedly, "The slave and maid said a few words without being angry for a while, and Mother Zhou bullied the slave and maid." ”
"It's too much!" Seeing this, Chu Yu couldn't help but speak.
"Later, Zhou's mother's people arrested Sister Bang Yue, saying that Sister Bang Yue was the thief, how could this be possible, Mother Zhou must be framing Sister Bang Yue, Sister Bang Yue has been in the yard all the time, how could she go out to steal things." Qingya said indignantly, "Mother Zhou must have wanted to target the third lady to arrest Sister Bangyue." ”
Su Wanqiu nodded, her eyes fell on Qingya's red and swollen face, and said, "You did a good job, you should be rewarded, the first rain, take some plasters to her." ”
The first rain gave Qingya a plaster to apply to the wound, and Qingya suddenly forgot the grievance just now, and happily thanked En and retreated.
Since his rebirth, Su Wanqiu's criterion for the subordinates in the courtyard is that rewards and punishments are clear, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, which has won the hearts of the people.
Su Wanqiu's fingers tightened slightly, thinking about what had happened recently, it is said that the eldest lady is still grounded, but she still refuses to stop, so impatiently to do it, grab Bang Yue, what she wants is more than Bang Yue, the ultimate goal is nothing more than Su Wanqiu.
"Is there anything unusual about Bang Yue lately?" Su Wanqiu asked.
Chu Yu thought about it for a while, and hesitated a little: "It doesn't seem to be, but I have always seen Bang Yue crying secretly these days, it should be because of Liuyue's matter, they have a deep sisterhood, which is also inevitable." ”
"Then let's go to Fu'an Courtyard to see why Bang Yue was arrested." A dark shadow sank in Su Wanqiu's eyes, and she said lightly, "If Bang Yue is innocent, I will never let the eldest lady wronged her." ”
