Text Chapter 047 Don't give in
Jia Qin recounted what happened this morning, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain, coupled with the spring light exposed by the tearing of the neckline, was very sympathetic. Even Ji Qiu, who has always been indifferent, looked at the housekeeper Cen Yuan with a look of resentment, as if he wanted to step forward and solve him with a knife.
Ye Wanruo still sat calmly on the ice silk cushion of the stone bench, holding the tea cup with one hand and the tea leaves floating on it with the lid with the other, completely putting on an attitude of listening to the story.
Despite this, Cen Yuan did not dare to slack off at all, and after Jia Qin's crying, he also quickly knelt down in front of Ye Wanruo, and after kowtowing to Ye Wanruo, he pointed at Jia Qin with one hand and avenged himself:
"Please also ask the eldest lady to be the master of the old slave, this slut she.... She lied! Although Jia Qin has not been in the princess's mansion for a few days, everyone knows that this Jia Qin's embroidery is excellent. When the old slave heard about it, he wanted to ask Jia Qin to help mend a few clothes.
But he didn't expect that after Jia Qin walked into the old slave's room, he took the initiative to unbutton his shirt, hugged the old slave, and said that he had admiration for the old slave as early as when he entered the mansion.
At the beginning, it was the eldest lady who brought Jia Qin into the house, just to borrow the old slave's courage, and the old slave categorically did not dare to have any wrong thoughts about Jia Qin. Although the old slave counted Jia Qin fiercely, he did not touch Jia Qin at all.
It's just that after hearing the old slave's refusal, Jia Qin did not hesitate to grab his hair and ran out with his clothes open.
At first, the old slave was afraid that the would disturb the eldest lady's rest, so he chased her out, but the ran and shouted that the old slave was going to insult her body. The subordinates are all doing their own work, but after this slut shouts like this, the old slave is already speechless.
The old slave beat her in anger, but if it wasn't for this slut who framed the old slave, how could the old slave be guilty of getting along with a subordinate?
Miss, the old slave is true, I don't dare to deceive in the middle, and I ask the eldest lady to be the master of the old slave! ”
After Cen Yuan finished saying the last sentence, he kowtowed to Ye Wanruo again, and his forehead hit the ground, making a dull sound.
This Jia Qin now eats and drinks in the princess's mansion without worry, and she doesn't have to be beaten and angry anymore, doing some work is easy for women, and the whole person's temperament has become different. Especially her skin like condensed cream, curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that hook people's souls.
The woman who has been married exudes a completely different temperament from the girl who has not been out of the cabinet, which seems to be coquettish and charming.
They are two completely different people from when they came to seek Ye Wanruo to take them in, and it is no wonder that Cen Yuan has ill intentions towards Jia Qin.
Now the two of them are expounding different words, but it is certain that among them, someone must have said a lie, if Ye Wan is a modern woman, she is very self-evident and true, and she will not listen to the one-sided words of the two.
At this time, both of them were honestly leaning over the ground, waiting for Ye Wanruo's decision, but they didn't expect that the answer to the two was just silence.
After a while, Ye Wanruo quietly put the teacup in her hand on the stone table, got up and paced the lotus step around the two of them, her eyes tossed between the two, and after some trade-offs, she spoke in embarrassment:
"Steward Cen and Jia Qin have their own opinions, Wanruo thinks that your words are not revealed, and it is reasonable, but who is telling the truth and who is lying? Wanruo also felt very embarrassed! How is this a good thing? ”
But at this moment, Jia Qin, who was kneeling beside him, knelt two steps towards Ye Wanruo's position with his knees, kowtowed and spoke again:
"If you go back to the eldest lady, Ning Xiu, who lives with the slave maid, can prove it to Jia Qin."
"Oh? Could it be that girl named Ning Xiu witnessed everything that happened this morning? ”
Hearing that Jia Qin had a witness, this made Ye Wanruo's eyes flash slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a playful smile, asking the doubts in her heart.
If Cen Yuan wanted to do such a thing, he must have planned well, how could he give others a chance to find out? When Jia Qin said that someone had proved it, Ye Wanruo pretended to glance at her inadvertently.
"Back to the eldest lady, although the slave maid can't prove what happened this morning, Ning Xiu can prove that Steward Cen is a hypocrite who is inconsistent with what he is looking at and what he is.
Ning Xiu lives with the slave maid, she is a warm-hearted girl, and the slave maid is thanks to Ning Xiu's guidance when she first enters the house. Ning Xiu has a lively and cheerful personality, and we have always gotten along very well. Just yesterday, Ning Xiu said to the slave maid to let the slave and maid be careful of Steward Cen.
The slave maid also thought that Steward Cen was because the eldest lady insisted on keeping the slave and maid that day, and did not hesitate to make trouble with Steward Cen, which always made Steward Cen angry.
But she didn't expect Ning Xiu to say that this housekeeper Cen looks modest on the surface, but he is actually a greedy and lustful villain. The slave maid originally didn't believe it, thinking that these were just hearsay rumors, but Ning Xiu told the slave maid that many maids in the house had been blackmailed by Steward Cen.
Now it seems that what Ning Xiu said is not groundless. The eldest lady can ask someone to send Ning Xiu to come, and she will know as soon as she asks. ”
Probably understanding the doubts in Ye Wanruo's words, Jia Qin actually forgot the rules for a while and looked up at Ye Wanruo, and the firm look in his eyes did not dodge in the slightest.
After Jia Qin's words, Qiu Qiu handed over an inquiring look, Ye Wanruo nodded lightly, and Qiu Qiu sent the little maid in the Listening Pavilion to summon Ning Xiu.
As early as when Jia Qin said this, Cen Yuan couldn't help but want to interrupt, if it weren't for Ye Wanruo's presence, I'm afraid Cen Yuan would definitely step forward and strangle the cheap maid in front of him.
At this time, Jia Qin's words fell, and Cen Yuan finally couldn't bear to stretch out his hand and point at Jia Qin, and warned her angrily:
"Jia Qin, you don't want to bewitch the public in front of the eldest lady, which affects the judgment of the eldest lady.
Miss, how dare the old slave be angry with the eldest lady? The events of the day were the old slave's lack of stability, and the eldest lady did not care about the old slave It was a great gift to the old slave, how could the old slave dare to make a mistake? Please also ask the eldest lady to be aware of everything, the old slave is loyal to the eldest lady! Lady ....."
Saying that, Cen Yuan didn't forget to kowtow to Ye Wanruo again to express his heartfelt feelings.
Qiu Qiu stepped forward and refilled Ye Wanruo's teacup with new tea, with a look of disgust in his eyes, as if he was scornful of Cen Yuan's behavior.
Ye Wanruo withdrew her eyes with a faint smile, picked up the teacup powder again, pursed her lips slightly, and said with a soothing tone:
"Steward Cen and Wanruo are of the same mind, and Wanruo knows it. It's just that things have developed to this point, and it's no longer Wanruo who can make the decision alone. Since Jia Qin said that there are witnesses, we will wait for this so-called witness to arrive and find out, and the answer will be revealed, and Steward Cen is not in a hurry for this moment! ”
"What the eldest lady said is very true!"
The matter has come to this point, even if Cen Yuan says negative things again this time, in the eyes of others, it is just to cover up the sophistry of the matter.
Cen Yuan, who has been a housekeeper in the princess's mansion for many years, understands the truth of this, no longer speaks, and kneels to the side waiting for Ning Xiang's arrival.
Except for the two people who were restrained on the ground, Ye Wanruo seemed comfortable, walked out of the pavilion, and while enjoying the sunshine, she actually fed the koi in the lotus pond. Watching them scramble for food, Ye Wanruo thought, how good it would be if people could live so simply?
"Back to the eldest lady, the incense has been brought!"
After a short time, the little guy returned to the Listening Rain Pavilion with Ning Xiang, and after the ceremony, the little guy stood aside knowing the etiquette.
Hearing the sound, Ye Wanruo threw out the last bait in her hand, and then handed over the jade containing the bait in her hand to Qiuqiu, and slowly turned around, and saw a handsome maid walking in, with a firm nose, a small cherry mouth, and a pair of smart big eyes, as if she could shine into the haze of people's hearts.
Seeing that Ye Wanruo noticed herself, Ning Xiu sounded a crisp and copper-like voice, her eyes were timid, she bowed slightly, knelt down straight towards Ye Wanruo, and saluted:
"Slave Ningxiang participates in the eldest lady!"
Ye Wanruo put away her look, sat back on the ice silk cushion, and said lightly:
"Ning Xiu? Do you know what Miss Ben called you today? ”
Ning Xiu still lowered her eyes, but she had already used her afterglow to take in the two figures who were also kneeling beside her, and replied to Ye Wanruo:
"Back to the eldest lady's words, the slave maid boldly guessed that the eldest lady summoned the slave and maid to come, it must be because of Steward Cen's bullying of subordinates!"
Ning Xiu answered Ye Wanruo's words almost immediately without any thought, which made the smile on the corner of Ye Wanruo's mouth a little thicker, and asked in surprise:
"Oh? So sure? Ning Xiu, you must know that being obedient as a subordinate is the rule you should abide by. Deceiving the master, that is the crime of being sold as a prostitute, so you have to think about it! ”
"Please check clearly, there is a reason why the slave and maid guess like this, no matter how bold the slave and maid are, they will definitely not dare to deceive the eldest lady, beg the eldest lady to believe the slave!"
Ye Wanruo's warning made Ning Xiu shocked, and the whole person was lying on the ground, and her trembling body was obviously frightened.
Ye Wanruo was very satisfied with such a reaction, and slowly spit out a few words:
"That's the best, let's hear it!"
"Back to the eldest lady's words, Steward Cen is humble to the people on the surface, but in fact he is a sanctimonious hypocrite, and many sisters have been threatened by Steward Cen and forcibly insulted the bodies of the maids.
Just before this, there was a sister named Hexiang, who also hanged herself because she was poisoned by Steward Cen.
Jia Qin was a little embarrassed when she first came to Fuzhong, but after grooming and dressing, she showed a glamorous posture. It is precisely because of this that he immediately attracted the attention of Steward Cen, who not only took good care of Jia Qin, but also stared at Jia Qin with a pair of eyes when everyone was doing their work.
The scrutiny and obscenity in those eyes have been seen by the slave and maid more than once. When she found this, the slave maid told Jia Qin for the first time, but she didn't expect everything to come so suddenly, and this morning she heard Jia Qin's cry for help from Steward Cen's room.
But the slaves and maids are all working under Steward Cen, and they usually rely on Steward Cen's snort to live, even if everyone hears it, they don't dare to make overstepping measures.
Eldest Miss, although the slave maid was afraid of Steward Cen, she didn't dare to deceive the eldest lady, and asked the eldest lady to investigate. ”
Cen Yuan had already heard Ning Xiu mention Lotus Xiang, a pair of eyes passed it vaguely, and after Ning Xiu spit out the last word, Cen Yuan, who was furious, couldn't care about etiquette, and stood up 'Teng', kicking Ning Xiu's body to the ground in anger, while scolding:
"You little slut, you dare to slander Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will beat you to death today, let you know that you know how powerful Lao Tzu is!"
Just when Cen Yuan raised his foot again, Qiu Qiu had already taken a step in front of Cen Yuan, and asked in a cold voice:
"Steward Cen is really bold, don't you want to live if you are so presumptuous in front of the young lady?"
Cen Yuan suddenly realized his recklessness, and when he caught a glimpse of Ye Wanruo looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly leaned down and knelt down again:
"Miss.... Miss, the old slave has been wronged...."
