Chapter 44 [Stubborn Confession]
Chapter 44 [Stubborn Confession]
Ru Mo tugged her messy bun, threw down the clothes in her hands stiffly, and stood up with a sigh of relief, "Eh, I can finally eat." ”
In front of the dining table with horizontal planks, there were two large buckets, one with sour rotten vegetable leaves, and the other with a few moldy sticks and noodles.
This kind of rice that is difficult to swallow, Ru Mo is not eating, not eating, she grabbed the nest in her hand and took a bite hard, the musty smell hit her taste buds, almost suffocating her, at this moment, the girl next to her, who was also wearing coarse clothes, walked over to her and said; "Sister, can you give me what you can't eat? My mother hasn't eaten yet?"
"Little sister, you are still so young, how can you send it to the Huanyi Bureau?" Stuffing the nest head in his hand to the little girl without hesitation, he asked sympathetically.
"My mother has sinned, and I have also sinned, so we will be slaves in the Huanyi Bureau for the rest of our lives!" The little girl replied with a wink of auraless eyes.
"For life?" The terrifying words rushed into Ru Mo's mind, and she couldn't help but be surprised, "Do I want to be in this Huanyi Bureau for the rest of my life?" No, when Xiao Yan comes back, he will save me out. Thinking deeply, I unconsciously swallowed a bowl of sour vegetable leaf soup.
After a busy day of inhuman life, Ru Mo's bones fell apart on the hard bed, and sighed again and again, "When will this day come to an end?" After a while, I was so tired that my eyelids closed and I fell asleep!
Before dawn, the sound of the housekeeper kicking the door sounded. Ru Mo was a light sleeper, and after hearing the sound of kicking the door, she hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her clothes and went to open the door.
"Another batch of clothes was sent from above, so don't hurry up and take them to the pulp and wash them." The housekeeper looked Ru Mo up and down, and when she caught a glimpse of her arms as white as tender lotus, she couldn't help but raise her voice again, "Did you hear it, what are you still doing in a daze?"
The well water in the morning was extremely cold, and Ru Mo felt a sigh in her heart while knocking on the clothes in her hands, because she already felt that her fingers were swollen and numb, and she used to have old diseases, and now she tosses like this, I am afraid that she will not be able to touch the strings in the future.
Just as she was thinking, someone slapped her shoulder hard, and she knew that the voice like thunder resounded in her ears, "Hurry up and do it, there are still more clothes in the back....... I said you wouldn't hurry....... Why is it so slow?"
Ru Mo didn't bother to look at the face of the housekeeper behind her, she only buried her head lower, rubbed the clothes in her hands back and forth, and almost vented all her grievances on the clothes, and the satin clothes were about to be rubbed out of a hole.
"Sister Mo......" Leng Buding's aggrieved and choked voice came, Ru Mo raised her head, her eyes were first surprised and then excited, "Ning Xue, why are you here?" Turning around again, she faced another stunned face, looking at those narrow eyes and handsome face, she couldn't help but take a step back, "Fan Yun, why are you here too?"
"Fan Yun went to look for me, and I went to ask the concubine again, so that I can come to see you....... Sister Mo....... How did you make yourself like this?" Ning Xue pouted, tugged at Ru Mo's coarse clothes, and asked crying.
Ru Mo turned around and smiled and coaxed Ning Xue, saying; "Sister Mo is in the Huanyi Bureau, and the uniforms she wears here are naturally, although the style is ugly and rough, but it is very comfortable, hehehe......"
"Are you a woman, all like this, still laughing?" Fan Yun looked straight into Ru Mo's eyes, he had always been calm, but when he saw the bruises on her bare arms, his heart boiled, he couldn't bear to want to split this grandmother in half, and then pull her away, couldn't she feel it? His heart ached for her.
Ru Mo knew how miserable she was now, so she deliberately avoided Fan Yun's burning gaze and replied hesitantly; "I'm fine, really good, don't worry."
"Sister Mo, whoever tossed you like this, I will definitely help you get it back tenfold." Ning Xue had already withdrawn her tears and looked at the housekeeper indignantly.
The housekeeper trembled for a moment, and knelt on the ground at the moment, "The county lord spares his life, the Huanyi Bureau has the rules of the Huanyi Bureau, it is not that the old slave deliberately embarrasses Leng Rumo, it is that anyone who is assigned to the Huanyi Bureau as a slave should be like this, if you don't believe the county lord, you can go and inquire." ”
The corners of Ning Xue's mouth curved, he laughed twice, and sat down in front of the housekeeper at once, "'Leng Rumo' is also what you call a slave?" She is the sister Mo of the county lord, even if she is not the princess of Mo, she is also the master, you bold slave dare to be disrespectful to Sister Mo, see that the county lord does not clean you up. With that, he picked up the skirt of the housekeeper's grandmother and took away the education.
Ru Mo was going to stop Ning Xue, but at this moment, Fan Yun suddenly pulled up her arm and dragged her to the wall.
"Fan Yun, you let go of me, what are you doing?" Ru Mo broke away from Fan Yun, such a Fan Yun was something she had never seen, he gave her a consistent style of gentleness, but today he was domineering.
There was an instant silence around him, and Fan Yun opened his mouth for a while; "I'm going to take you away, are you going to go?" The voice is soft but unmistakable.
"I'm not leaving." Ru Mo replied very dryly, staring straight at Fan Yun, and said suddenly; "Why do you say that all of a sudden?"
"Because I've fallen in love with you, little Jasmine." Fan Yun's extremely serious words floated past his ears, Ru Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't like me, don't you think I have enough crimes?" If you really want to buckle the title of bad woman to my head, even if you do it, let me go, there are many good girls in this world, don't fall from a tree and die, I am the least worthy. ”
"Is it because of him?" Fan Yun didn't seem to have heard a lot of Ru Mo's words, and went straight out, took her into his arms and asked.
Ru Mo tensed her body, felt a cold sweat on her forehead, and simply smiled; "That's right, it's because of him, it's no secret that I like Xiao Yan Leng Rumo, anyway, I can't get out of this Huanyi Bureau, I'm not afraid to tell you today, if one day I die, Fan Yun You must take Xiao Yan to my grave and tell him that I love him, I love him very much!"
Fan Yun let out a sigh of relief, let go of Ru Mo, and had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, "I really don't know if I should say that you are dead-eyed?" Or is it a self-defeating road?"
"Don't you know that it doesn't matter if you're dead-eyed or dead-eyed, or if you're dead? While I'm hurting you, I'm going to hurt myself for a long time!" There is nowhere to hide, my heart is sad, and two lines of tears welled up!
Since Ning Xue "educated" the housekeeper in the Huanyi Bureau, Ru Mo's life has been much better, and after doing the assigned little work every day, she can bask in the sun leisurely, but recently Fan Yun brought shocking news, "All the big and small merchants and vendors in the city have begun to sell a kind of incense, and the name of that incense is 'Yixin'!"
"I know, Niangniang, you are not an ordinary person, forgive the old slave for being clumsy a few days ago, and please Niangniang, don't worry about the old slave." The housekeeper changed her stammering face and smiled flatteringly at Ru Mo.
Ru Mo smiled silently, "Mama is serious, please don't call 'Niangniang', I have been demoted by the emperor to a 'slave'......" Before the words were finished, I only heard a light laugh of justification, "My beloved concubine is really going to hold grudges......"
The housekeeper was startled, and a trembling sound that stumbled to the ground, and came out of her throat, changed her tone, "The old slave sees the emperor...... Hooray...... Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
Ru Mo's gaze turned straight to Xiao Baojuan, and the corners of her mouth turned up with a smile, "The emperor's golden body, how can he come to a place like the Huanyi Bureau?" Slaves and maids really deserve death. ”
"Jasmine girl, are you angry with me?" Xiao Baojuan laughed silently.
Ru Mo kowtowed calmly, her lips opening slightly, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"Concubine Ai......" Xiao Baojuan violently grasped Ru Mo's cold hand, looked at her slightly rough hands, couldn't help but be startled, and squeezed out a few syllables from her throat in pain, "What a big boldness, who made Concubine Ai's hand look like this?"
"The emperor spares his life...... Spare your life....... It's not an old slave....... It's none of the old slave's business........ "The housekeeper was so frightened that she was scared, and the voices of spare her life hovered over the Huanyi Bureau one after another.
Ru Mo withdrew her hand when she saw the opportunity, and said coldly, "What is the emperor doing to blame the housekeeper?" This Huanyi Bureau was originally a place for pulp and laundry, how did the slave's hands become rough, and I would like to thank the emperor for giving the slave and maid this good place. ”
Xiao Baojuan pulled Ru Mo and threatened in an embarrassed low voice; "Aifei, it's my fault, just make trouble, if you let people see the joke, I won't take you out." Immediately, he rushed to the housekeeper with a cold face, "Come on, take this old slave down, and the rod will be fifty." ”
"Hmph, find a replacement." Ru Mo smiled sarcastically, turned her head, looked at Xiao Baojuan with deep eyes, and asked speculatively; "The emperor came suddenly, but did you have anything to tell Mo'er?"
Xiao Baojuan was asked about the speech, and pretended to be relaxed; "I'm thinking about Concubine Mo, can't I? I want to take you out, Concubine Mo, what's the matter, let's go out and talk about it. ”
"You don't have to go out and talk about it, just say it now." Ru Mo broke free of Xiao Baojuan and stubbornly held her head high.
"I heard...... It's all out there...... That ......" Xiao Baojuan's voice paused a little, but soon returned to normal, "Concubine Mo, do you have any secret recipe for 'intoxicating' that incense?"
Ru Mo smiled expressionlessly, "The slave didn't." ”
"What don't you have, now it's spread on the market, just buy it, you can buy 'Pleasant Drunk', do you think it's still a baby?" Xiao Bao's anger rose, stared at Ru Mo again, and said in a low voice; "Jasmine, you know what? If you don't come up with the secret recipe of 'Pleasant Intoxication', it will be difficult for me to protect you in front of the concubine, do you know a piece of my heart?"
"The emperor doesn't believe your concubine Mo either?" Ru Mo held back her tears, her heart was empty, and her throat tightened; "Your Majesty, please go back, the slave and maid don't have any 'secret recipe' in their hands, thank you for the emperor's heart for the slave and maid, the slave and the maid must be disappointed, and the slave and maid are willing to confess in this Huanyi Bureau."
Xiao Baojuan's body stiffened, and his eyes lowered, "Since you want to confess your sins in this Huanyi Bureau, I will fulfill you, and don't go out for the rest of your life." With that, he shook his sleeves and left.
