With this layer, after that, Liuli would really ask Cui Ying's opinion on everything, and she was praised as if she was the master of the first courtyard, and Cui Ying gradually had to interject and say a few words in everything, as if she was the housekeeper in charge.

This matter is not mentioned for the time being, and said that after Liuli returned to the room, he didn't take a nap, and took Rui'er to draw embroidery in the house, and finished the painting in the evening, and studied with her what clothes and what color embroidery looks good, so Rui'er has not been out of the courtyard for half a step all day. But it was sweet, I went to the main courtyard after lunch, and I didn't come back until it was nearly dark. When he came back, his face was full of joy.

At night, Liuli was ready to write, and called Rui'er to sharpen the ink. Until the change was made outside, she had no intention of stopping. Rui'er couldn't help but say, "The girl is really in good spirits today. ”

Liuli looked up at the window, and saw that the crescent moon had also faintly appeared, so she put down her pen and said, "It's not early, let's rest!" ”

Rui'er made a bed for her, served her to lie down, and said, "Girl, sleep, slave and maid go back to the room." ”

Liuli has never been in the habit of staying in the room overnight, and as soon as Rui'er left, she turned over and lay on her side facing the window.

The bedroom of the three maids was next door, and at this time, Cui Ying Tian'er had already rested. Rui'er made it lightly for a while, and as soon as the lights went out, she seemed to be asleep. Any sound sounded very clear in the night, and about the time of the two pillars of incense, there was a very subtle new movement next door, first the sound of clothes rustling, and then the sound of pressing down the door to open the door.

Ruri quickly got up and put on her clothes and waited under the window. Although the brilliance of the crescent moon is not large, there is a lamp under the corridor, and in the case of no lamp in the house, the outside scenery can also be eight or nine without leaving ten, and after a while, I saw a slender figure walking out of the next room quickly, bowing his head and walking straight to the courtyard door. When she passed under the window, she stopped, but only hesitated for a moment, and she didn't look back and went out.

Liuli went out and followed. The person in front was also very alert, in order to avoid hearing and seeing, looking for a secluded and tricky path, fortunately Liuli has been exercising in the morning and evening recently, and her physical strength has increased a lot, and she has passed through the pavilions and pavilions, until she reached the long room, and was not noticed.

When the man arrived at the long room, he did not go in, but he took a sip at the courtyard door, and then went around again, and passed through the hall to a small courtyard with white walls and gray tiles.

Liuli recognized that this was Aunt Su's yard, and then saw that the person knocked a few times, and then opened the door and walked out. Why are you here so late? ”

Rui'er glanced left and right and said, "What about Auntie?" Is she there? I have something to do! ”

The woman let her in, and closed the door in a blink of an eye.

Liuli straightened up, sneered, and turned around and disappeared into the bamboo forest on the side.

Rui'er went out of the door, and after it was already a tea hour, she paused at the door, and then went left to return the same way. Unexpectedly, after only taking two steps, a person flashed out of the bamboo forest next to him, blocking the way.

Rui'er saw this person clearly, and her face suddenly turned pale.

"Auntie, girl, why are you here?"

Liuli looked at her and smiled slowly: "Why are you here?" ”

Rui'er gasped and took two steps back, leaning against the wall.

Ruri sneered, turned around and strode back.

When she walked around the corner, she glared back, and Rui'er came back to her senses and followed,—— no one could say that she was not a child, but at this time, no one could treat her as a child anymore.

In the garden, Liuli detoured to the inner lake, there is a water pavilion in the center of the lake, only for summer cooling, now this kind of day, don't say that this is the middle of the night, even during the day is no one.

Rui'er followed her up to the corridor, and when she saw that her face was becoming more and more gloomy, she couldn't help but tighten the hem belt. It is a fact that she is the most dishonorable master in the house, but she is a house slave after all, and at this time, she was personally caught by her and Aunt Su was involved, no matter whether she sued the Yu family or the old lady, she didn't have her own good fruit to eat, but now she brought her here, I don't know what to do.

There is only a simple set of bamboo benches in the water pavilion, Liuli walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push the window open half of the window, the lake breeze blew the residual lotus under the window rustling, and also brought a chill into the house.

Liuli was silent for a while at the lotus leaf below, then turned around and walked to the leeward part of the inside, and said, "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”

Rui'er shuddered and shook her head.

Liuli pondered for a while, but said: "You were brought in by Renyazi, and Qian Changsheng's wife has always been in charge of the people entering the house, is it because you have a relationship with Aunt Su herself, or are you and Aunt Su's people?" ”

Rui'er bit her lip and didn't speak.

Liuli glanced at her, and then answered by herself: "Naturally, you had colluded with Aunt Su, and then you were brought in by Qian Changsheng's family." If even Qian Changsheng is already Aunt Su's person, then she is no longer an aunt. Don't think that I can't figure it out if I don't answer, the three of you all have other masters, and I already knew that you were secretly doing things for Su Meiyin. ”

Rui'er looked at her in horror: "Girl, girl......"

"It's because you're covering it up too badly. Otherwise, when Tian'er is seriously ill, why do I think you will be able to go out of the house to buy medicine? I'm a little kid and you asked you to find a decoction for her to drink, and you just did it without saying a word, and you didn't worry about me curing her to death. If she dies, Mama Cheng will naturally settle accounts with me, and the eldest lady will inevitably ask me for guilt. In this way, the grievances between me and the eldest lady have fallen, and at this time, of course, Aunt Su is not the only one who wants me to have conflicts with her, but only she will help me do things while setting up a stumbling block between me and the Yu family. Maybe she thought she could handle me by sending you here, but apparently she was wrong. By the way, do you know how the house privately deals with this kind of subordinate who serves the second master? ”

Speaking of this, Liuli walked to the windowsill again, pointed to the cold and sparkling lake, and slapped two bricks from nowhere in one hand and slapped them on the window: "As far as I know, no less than ten people have drowned in this lake, don't think that I can't beat you, just these two bricks are smashed over, you don't have to go down to the lake to die!" ”

"Girl......"

Rui'er was still holding on at first, but by this time her whole body was trembling like chaff, and her legs knelt down unconsciously: "Girl, spare your life!" Although my aunt sent me to serve the girl, she never let the slave or maid harm the girl! I beg the girl to see that Rui'er is still dedicated on weekdays......"

"Then what did she tell you to do!"

She ...... Auntie, she asked the slave maid to wait for the girl, and if the girl wanted to know anything, she could tell her. All that remains is to tell her what the girl does every day and what she says. ”

"So I asked her to frame and engrave the seal, and she knows?"

Rui'er was stunned, and lowered her head with teary eyes: "I know about the engraving of the seal, but the matter of framing has not been ......."

Liuli stood up straight, paced a few steps, and stared at her on the ground, "If I spare you from dying today, you are only afraid that you will retaliate against me in the future." If I kill you, I will offend the Bodhisattva again, so I better hand you over to the eldest lady. ”

"Nope! Girl! The slave and maid are willing to obey Aunt Su's arrangement all because the Yu family killed my father, and the slave and maid hope that the girl will have a grudge with the Yu family and also want to use the girl's power to avenge my father, if the girl hands me over to her, then where am I going to get justice?! ”

Rui'er was panicked, and the words behind her were simply mixed with crying and shouting, and Liuli was also stunned.

"She killed your father?"

Rui'er sobbed: "My father was a long-term worker in her dowry shop before his death, and one day when he lost something in the store, he stole it and beat him to death. Not long after, the thing came out of the hands of the shopkeeper's son! My dad died at her hands! ”

Liuli didn't expect that there was such a layer, looking at her carefully for a long time, she didn't dodge or dodge, and resentment surged between her eyebrows, and it really didn't look like she was lying. After bowing her head and pondering for a while, she stood up, shook her head and said, "I can't help you repay this revenge, you better go back to Aunt Su." ”

Rui'er grabbed her sleeve: "Aunt Su won't harm you, and I also respect the girl's personality very much, what good is it for the girl to be so eager to expose me and drive me away?" ”

Liuli said: "Why are you sure that Aunt Su will not harm me?" ”

Rui'er was speechless.

Liuli smiled slowly: "Then I'll give you an idea." You go back to Aunt Su's house now, and tell her everything about Fang Cai, and don't miss a word. If she asks you to come back, you'll come back, and if she won't let you come back, I don't think so. ”

"Girl!"

Rui'er froze, her hands clenching the hems of her skirts on either side, as if she couldn't keep up with her rhythm at all.

And Liuli sneered, gathered the placket of the cloak, and strode out of the water pavilion past her.
