Chapter 9: The Wicked
When he returned to the yard, Shu Mei took Gu Yu away, because he did not perform well when he returned to the door, Gu Yu was worried in his heart, and as soon as he heard that he was going to let himself watch Yu'er, he was busy and went.
Shu Mei asked Lixia at this time: "Have you seen your brother?" ”
Lixia was separated from her relatives in her hometown when she was a child, and was later sold into the Shu family, and a few years ago, her brother Qiu Shi didn't know where to find her in the Shu family. Qiu Shi was no more than two years older than Lixia, but he had an idea and wanted to find an errand in the Shu family, but he didn't sell himself, so Shu Mei made it clear to Mrs. Shu, who was still alive at the time, and arranged an errand for Qiu Shi to boil water in the porter.
Originally, Qiu Shi was reluctant to follow Lixia to marry Shu Mei, but Lixia insisted, and when she went back this time, Shu Mei supported Lixia to meet her brother, and by the way, she also helped herself do something.
"Well, thank you, Miss, my brother said please rest assured."
"Help me, thank you, brother."
"Miss, you are too polite, you have helped us so much, but I don't understand why you want your brother to stare at Miss Su's maid."
"Do you believe me?"
"Faith!"
"Then don't ask."
Lixia nodded: "Yes." "Anyway, the young lady asked her to do it, so what does it matter if you don't know the reason.
Although she used Lixia, Shu Mei was preparing for them in the future, Zhu Jia was not a place to stay for a long time, and she would not continue to be trapped here. Shu Mei asked Qiu Shi to help her stare at Su Yaqing's maid, she didn't believe that Zhu Zeyue was so calm, although she couldn't contact her family, but she must have known about her situation in the Zhu family, most of the people in the Zhu family still had to listen to the Su family, and now his eyes and ears should be the people around Su Yaqing.
There are too few people around Shu Mei who can be used, after all, it is inconvenient for the two girls to go out to do errands, and Gu Yu is still unreliable, thinking about it, there is only to find Qiushi, as long as there is Lixia, Qiushi will not have two hearts. Shu Mei could see that Qiu Shi was not a person who was willing to be a small family member for the rest of his life, so she would give him this opportunity to see if he could make good use of it.
While waiting for the news of Qiushi, Shu Mei went to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures every day as usual, never stopped, Gu Yu got the errand to monitor Yu'er, and reported Yu'er's movements to Shu Mei every day.
Shu Mei just listened to her, and rarely talked, so that Gu Yu couldn't figure out what Shu Mei meant, and could only stare at Yu'er more dedicatedly. Behind his back, Gu Yu once complained to Lixia, but Lixia got Shumei's instructions, and he didn't know anything.
Yu'er is indeed very honest, except for cleaning the study every day, she rarely even goes out of the yard, but Shu Mei still found that the book of poems with the seal of the Su family that she had read a few days ago was missing, and Yu'er must have taken it and hid it.
Before thinking about it, Zhu Zeyue left in a bit of a hurry, didn't hide it carefully, and asked Yu'er to clean up the study, just so that she had the opportunity to take away the things that shouldn't appear, it seems that there should be something else besides the book.
Yu'er was originally Zhu Zeyue's person, and Shu Mei never expected her to be loyal to herself. But she wanted to see how loyal Yu'er was to Zhu Zeyue, whether she could even take her own life.
So one day, after Shu Mei went to the study, one of her Nanzhu studs fell off, and Gu Yu happened to find it in Yu'er's sewing box.
Shu Mei did not inform Mama Song or report to the Su family, so she suppressed the matter and handed it over to Mama Li, who was married to her. Mama Li and her mothers-in-law, who came to marry, are not very powerful in the Shu family, and they came out to make a profit. And since Shu Mei married into the Zhu family, they have not done much in the yard, and they can't stay with the people before, this time they have the opportunity to perform, and they are very hard.
Yu'er kept gritting her teeth and refusing to admit it, so she was beaten and her face was swollen.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shu Mei went to see Yu'er.
Seeing Shu Mei, Yu'er gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "You designed me on purpose!" ”
She admits that she has not offended Shu Mei, and she doesn't know why Shu Mei framed herself so much, she was really deceived by Shu Mei's gentle and harmless appearance.
"I thought you were a smart one, but I was wrong, I don't know what to take and what not to take."
If it was in the previous life, Shu Mei would not have seen such a scene, but now he is very calm. This world is unfair, what if she framed her, who let her follow the wrong master.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Hearing Shu Mei's words, Yu'er was shocked, she was not a stupid person, she naturally heard Shu Mei's words, I thought she hadn't paid attention to the things in the study, but she didn't expect to be discovered.
"I remember that the family rules of the Zhu family are written, and those who steal the master's belongings will be punished with sixty rods and sold to the house, I think you know these rules better than me."
"I want to see the old lady!" Yu'er was originally Su's maid to Zhu Zeyue, and now only Su's can save her.
"Do you think the old lady will believe me, the young grandmother who prays for the blessings of the family every day, or will she believe you, the little maid who deceived her?"
Yu'er is a member of the Su family, but the last time Zhu Zeyue escaped from marriage, she didn't report it, obviously she had touched the bottom line of the Su family, even if they are all the masters of the Zhu family, but being loyal to herself is not the same thing as being loyal to her grandson. Especially for an elderly and suspicious person like Su, the maid's apostasy is tantamount to reminding her of whose world the Zhu family will be in the future, and it is strange that she can be happy.
If it was when Zhu Zeyue was there before, Yu'er would certainly not be worried, but now the masters of the Zhu family have praised Shu Mei, the eldest and younger grandmother, and she has no chance of winning at all.
The rain was silent.
"You don't want to be a maid for the rest of your life, it sounds better than the daughter of a small family outside, but it's nothing more than the master's dog, and even his life is not his own, do you remember where Shuang'er was sold? Or do you also want to see the day when you will be sent? ”
Of course, Yu'er remembered that the person who bought Shuang'er was an obscene-looking mother-in-law, and later heard that she picked the maids from large families who made mistakes to buy, and then sent them to the Qinglou, because the maids of large families did not need to be trained, and they were more obedient than the girls bought outside......
Thinking of such an ending, Yu'er's face turned a little frightened, and with the red marks, she looked even more embarrassed, a maid like them has never been able to help herself.
Shu Mei didn't continue to stimulate her, sat on the chair and waited for her to figure it out, human life is like a mustard, even a young lady from a famous family like herself cannot be spared, and life and death will be decided by a sentence, not to mention that she is like a duckweed maid, I believe she will not understand.
Finally, Yu'er knelt in front of Shu Mei, and the whole portrait was taken away and angry: "Ask the young grandmother to spare her life......"
