Chapter 11: Cultivating Subordinates
The setting sun shines obliquely on the corridor, reflecting the clusters of white impatiens under the corridor, and the moist green stems swaying as if they can pinch out the water. The promenade is a mahogany handrail, and some of them are crowded and grow out of the cracks in the cornerstones below.
Half an hour later, Lin Suyao was sent to the forbidden room, and many people in the Lin family looked at it coldly, and they had to say a few words behind their backs.
Lin Qingyu didn't eat dinner and passed, she didn't want to toss Lin Suyao, she just wanted to see her attitude, and then decide what she wanted to do next.
She recognized Uncle Ji's words, but now she just wanted to find a reason to make herself feel at ease and deal with Lin Suyao. Lin Qingyu thinks that after going through so many things, it is difficult to be a good person anymore.
"Miss, why do you want to go to see Miss Five?" Miao Gui followed Lin Qingyu, her hair was all curled into a simple bun, and a pair of beaded earrings hung from her ears and swayed: "She has a bad reputation now, everyone wants to stay away from her, don't be deceived by her again." β
She wore a blue garment without too many patterns, except for a girdle tied with a knot around her waist. His hands were folded in front of his lower abdomen, and his skirt swayed with his pace, his posture was steady, but his face was bulging.
In Miaogui's eyes, Lin Qingyu is too simple and naΓ―ve, if it weren't for Lin Suyao's own death, her young lady probably wouldn't be able to see through Lin Suyao's personality. It's really worrying.
"Got it." Lin Qingyu turned around helplessly, raised her white and tender hand like a green onion root and pinched Miaogui's face, and sighed: "You are all nagging like Grandma Sun, how can you marry in the future?" β
Miao Gui looked at Lin Qingyu who was sparkling in her eyes in front of her, and her eyes turned slightly, but she didn't say anything more.
The courtyard where Lin Suyao lived was guarded by the fierce slaves and servants, and it was quiet and weird, but I was afraid that even a fly could not fly out. Miao Gui was a little hesitant by this battle, but Lin Qingyu's face was pale, she was guarded like this in her previous life, so she was naturally not surprised at all.
"Why is the third lady here? The old lady said that Miss Fifth is an unlucky person now, so it's better not to go in. A grandmother blocked Lin Qingyu's way, and opened her mouth without smiling. She is the most capable Mama Xia under the old lady, and she still has a bit of face in the house, and her attitude towards these young ladies is somewhat influenced by the old lady.
"Mama Xia, let me meet the fifth sister." Lin Qingyu smiled lightly, took out a piece of broken gold from her sleeve and stuffed it into Mama Xia's hand, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she looked very well-behaved and pleasing: "My sister doesn't know when we will see each other again, I want to persuade my sister, I'm afraid she won't be able to think ......about it in the forbidden room."
Mama Xia weighed the gold in her hand, waved her hand and opened the door: "The third young lady is beautiful and kind, and the old slave naturally doesn't dare to stop the third miss, just ask you to come out quickly, don't make the old slave embarrassed." β
Lin Qingyu was a little surprised when she saw Lin Suyao.
Lin Suyao was dressed like a white lotus fairy in the past, but this time she has been crying when she encounters such a thing, where can she still care about dressing up, she looks a lot more embarrassed and more haggard, and at noon, she was shocked to death when she learned about the old lady's punishment for herself, and her face became more and more unsightly.
The subordinate was serving Lin Suyao to freshen up and go to the forbidden room, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw Lin Qingyu who was coming, and they all stopped their movements and saluted: "The slave has seen the third lady." β
Now seeing that the fifth lady can't turn over, the maids who are unlucky with their masters naturally don't dare to slack off on Lin Qingyu, and they are all very attentive in serving tea and water.
The room was covered with plain curtains, the light was dim, and the vase under the windowsill was filled with withered pear branches.
Lin Suyao's hair was left in the cold in front of the dresser after combing half of it, looking at the figure behind her through the mirror, and sneered, these things inside and out, she is still alive and well, and they can't wait to choose another good wood.
Lin Qingyu sat on the stool and played with the teacup, looking at the simple room with her chin propped up.
She understood why Lin Suyao wanted to deal with herself, Lin Suyao wanted to use a disgraceful way to take away Lin Qiwen's attention, but she didn't dare to touch Lin Shiyu, the best thing was her sister who was loved by Lin Qiwen but didn't hurt anything.
"Lin Qingyu, what are you doing?" Lin Suyao sorted out her clothes by herself, shook the somewhat wrinkled skirt and slowly sat up from the dresser, looking at her condescendingly: "Do you want to see my jokes?" Oh, don't think I don't know who hurt me! But whenever I, Lin Suyao, have a chance to turn over, the first one who won't let go is you. β
Miao Gui walked out from behind Lin Qingyu with a frown, and glared at Lin Suyao angrily: "Fifth Miss, you don't know the inspection yourself, and you still spew blood and blame my young lady for framing you." Don't think that everyone doesn't know about you closing my young lady, you can see who is right and who is wrong if you are not blind, right? β
"Where are we talking, you have to interject!" A trace of annoyance flashed in Lin Suyao's eyes, looking at Lin Qingyu's lofty posture, she only felt extremely hateful, and Qingli's face became a little hideous: "You people who look down on me, I will clean up one by one one day!" β
"Oh" Lin Qingyu put down the teacup and stood up, looking at Lin Suyao with some pity in her eyes: "Since you insist on killing yourself, then I have nothing to persuade." β
"You think I'm going to be locked up for the rest of my life?" Lin Suyao looked around at the silent maids, and raised her chin mockingly: "This time it was Xiao Xing who harmed me, and now she has found her conscience to go to her father to prove my innocence." You should know that he is courteous and righteous, and Xiao Xing asks for it with his life, and he will not be unmoved...... Even if I'm in the forbidden room now, I won't be able to get out in a few days. β
"You're too ruthless." Lin Qingyu smiled gently, her runny fingertips tapped twice on the table, and her eyes were full of smiles: "I think you can sacrifice even the closest maids, these maids in this room who are in the way of your eyes, you have to worry about what will happen after you come out." β
When those maids heard Lin Qingyu's words as if casually mentioned, their faces became a little ugly, and their eyes looked at Lin Suyao with a little more hatred. They are tired and tired and have never received any rewards from Lin Suyao, do they still want to be her pawns in the end?
Miao Gui didn't notice the tense atmosphere between the two of them at all, and leaned into Lin Qingyu's ear and whispered: "Miss, such a person is really bad, you have to see her face clearly now." In the future, if you encounter this kind of person who looks soft and weak, but is actually a femme fatale, you have to stay away from them. β
Lin Qingyu nodded, deeply convinced.
At night, Lin Qingyu went to bed early, and when she inquired in the morning, she heard that there was a girl in the front yard who admitted that she had killed Lin Suyao by being obsessed with her mind and died on the pillar. The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and the punishment for Lin Suyao also became that she rushed to Zhuangzi three days later and was grounded for three years.
Actually, it's similar to the forbidden room, but it's better than the forbidden room.
Lin Qingyu began to think a little too much in her life, and she felt a little uneasy when she remembered Lin Suyao's words and her eyes that she was eager to eat her alive. In the afternoon, I sat in the yard and basked in the sun, watching the weeds that had been eradicated by the wall but were fluffy, and I felt more and more that the truth of the disaster left over for thousands of years was right.
Immediately patted the handle of the recliner and stood up: "Miaogui, I remember that Xiaoxing has a younger sister who is also on an errand by Lin Suyao's side, help me bring her, remember not to be discovered by others, especially my mother's ......"
Although Miaogui was suspicious of Lin Qingyu's intentions, she still went honestly.
Xiaozhu was still a little uneasy when she was brought over, and saw that Lin Qingyu's eyes seemed clear and bright, but they were deep and bottomless. On the contrary, he was even more nervous, staring at the toe of his shoes that had been worn, and he didn't even dare to raise his head: "I don't know what the third lady ordered when she called the slave maid?" β
"Miaogui helped me guard the door, don't eavesdrop, and don't let anyone in." Lin Qingyu slowly commanded, a small table was placed in front of her, on which honey water was placed, Lin Qingyu held the cup and took a shallow sip before looking at Xiaozhu with a green face, and the tails of her eyes raised slightly to be a little lazy that she couldn't say: "What do you think about your sister causing my fifth sister to be ruined?" β
Xiaozhu knelt down with a "poof", his face was instantly bloodless, and his eyes were full of tears, but he bit his lip to prevent it from falling: "The slave's sister has always been peaceful, she won't harm Miss Five." β
"It won't hurt her, that's just her? She's really a heartfelt girl. Lin Qingyu smiled and sighed: "It seems that you are willing to die for my good sister." β
Xiaozhu shook his head, but he couldn't guess Lin Qingyu's intentions, so he didn't dare to say more.
The reason why Lin Qingyu remembered this girl was not for anything else, Xiaoxing also died for Lin Suyao in her previous life, not long after Lin Suyao became the favorite concubine of the palace and became pregnant, Xiaozhu was accepted as a concubine, and she poisoned Lin Suyao, but unfortunately she did not succeed in killing Lin Suyao and paid for her life.
Years of hypocrisy and wronging are just to avenge my sister.
is affectionate and righteous, and he is an ambitious, patient, and ruthless person. The means are insufficient, but it is suitable for training as a subordinate.
"I know what the fifth sister is using to blackmail Xiaoxing, is it your life or your family's life?"
Lin Qingyu didn't think that Xiao Xing's maid would give up her life for Lin Suyao.
Xiaozhu didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Lin Qingyu narrowed her eyes and sneered: "If you are willing to do things for me, how about I help you avenge?" The voice carried some temptation: "In the future, your family will be well dressed, you have the right and money, and I will try my best to protect you." β
"What are you doing?" Xiaozhu raised her head in surprise, and her hand holding the hem of her skirt trembled slightly. She has never been willing to be toyed with and applauded by Lin Suyao like this, but she doesn't know how to break free from this cage.
Xiaozhu faltered.
Lin Qingyu lowered her head and picked up the flower cake on the small table, a few strands of green silk hung down between the snow neck, and the cherry red lips condensed a thin smile: "Eradicate dissidents for me, and be a person with blood-stained hands." β
