Mrs. An Guohou was also surprised, she had been in the position of Mrs. Hou for so many years, and she had never seen such a bold maid as Xiaoyou, who dared to give her opinion directly to the lord. And when the maid next to her heard that she wanted to be her aunt to her own master, she cried with joy, and no girl would have been such an expressionless appearance of Xiaoyou.

"Oh? It's strange, you can hear it. After Mrs. An Guohou was surprised, she became interested in Xiao You.

Du Ruoyun's face changed again.

Xiao You still looked neither humble nor arrogant, she listened to Mrs. An Guohou's words, and said lightly: "Madam, there is nothing to ask for a slave maid, and it is a great blessing for a slave to be a concubine to the world." It's just that although it is a concubine, for the slave maid, it is equivalent to getting married, and the slave and maid want to beg the lady to let the slave and maid go out of the house to see the mother. By the end of the sentence, his voice was already a little choked.

When Du Ruoyun heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the expression on his face became softer.

Mrs. An Guohou didn't expect that Xiao You, the girl, would kneel down in the hall and make such a big move, but just to be able to go home before being a concubine, it stands to reason that this is not an unruly thing, Du Ruoyun can make the decision and agree, but Xiao You put her aside and begged directly in front of Mrs. An Guohou, then, this matter is not simple.

Thinking of this, Mrs. An Guohou glanced at Du Ruoyun who was sitting on the bed with deep eyes. Only then did he smile and said to Xiao You: "I should be something important, it turned out to be this, yes." ”

Xiao You showed a faint smile: "Thank you, young lady." ”

Receiving Mrs. An Guohou's eyes, Du Ruoyun hated in her heart, she never thought that Xiaoyou, who had always been quiet and well-behaved, would actually give her this hand at this juncture. It seems to be a simple thing, but she said it solemnly, which is clearly to make Mrs. An Guohou doubt her, no matter how she pretends to be close to Xiaoyou like a sister in the future, her mother-in-law will not believe it.

Since then, Du Ruoyun's expression has been a little dull, although he is still smiling, but that smile makes people feel no trace of happiness.

Mrs. An Guohou said a few words lightly asking Du Ruoyun to take care of herself, and then left, and when she left, she deliberately glanced at Xiaoyou, and that glance pierced Du Ruoyun's heart. The island is looking for Ba.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing. Xiao You still stood there with an unchanged face, and the other maids in the house, including Qingtong, were silent, all of them stood in the corner of the house with their eyes and noses concerned, completely looking like the mountain rain was coming. It seems that someone is going to be punished.

Xiao You didn't seem to know that a catastrophe was about to befall him, so he still made a pot of tea as before, poured a cup and served it to Du Ruoyun.

Du Ruoyun looked at Xiao You quietly, with a thoughtful expression in her eyes, and after a long time, she asked, "Xiao You, what do you mean by your actions today?" ”

Xiao You looked up in surprise: "Miss, the slave doesn't mean anything else?" I just want to go home. ”

"If you want to go home, you can also tell me, why do you have to make a fuss? Do you know that this makes me very difficult? Du Ruoyun suppressed the anger in his heart and said, his voice sounded unintentional as usual, still soft. Qingtong, who was just standing in the corner on the side, showed a frightened expression.

Xiao You was still faint, and there was no trace of abnormality in her voice: "However, I told Miss Qingtong about this before, and she told me to stop daydreaming, saying that Miss, you will never agree to the slave maid, and let the slave die this heart." The slave and maid were so discouraged, so I took advantage of today to say it, Miss, the slave and maid can't stand you, and they have caused you so much trouble, and the slave and maid deserve to die! With that, she "plopped!" ----" and knelt down.

Du Ruoyun's cold and glittering gaze shot straight at the stunned Qingtong in the corner, his eyes were cold and chilling, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became a little colder.

After half a ring, Qingtong, who had been reflected, jumped up from the ground, pointed at Xiao You with his hands on his waist and shouted, "You spew blood!" ”

Xiao You still said calmly: "When I went to beg you that day, it was under the osmanthus tree in our courtyard, at that time, the green smoke that swept the courtyard, the nurse Mama Zhou, the dog egg of the second door, ......" She slowly but without hesitation pronounced out one name after another, all of them were the errand servants in Du Ruoyun's courtyard. As more and more names appeared, Qingtong's face turned red and white, and finally turned a miserable green.

Du Ruoyun looked at Qingtong, and then looked at Xiaoyou, who was right and who was wrong, and he knew in his heart. She said lightly to Xiao You: "This matter is Qingtong's mistake, but you go past me and tell you that you want to go home, this thing is not right, can you admit it?" ”

Xiao You immediately lowered his head: "The slave knows her mistake." ”

Du Ruoyun said again: "But you are also unintentional, I will not pursue this matter with you, but you have heard clearly, if you have anything in the future, you can come to me directly, and you don't need to report to Qingtong." ”

Xiao You bowed his head and said meekly: "Yes, Miss, the slave knows." ”

Qingtong on the side looked at this scene, and almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth in anger!

The young lady actually convicted her without asking, and she didn't even ask her! As Du Ruoyun's eldest maid, she has never been treated like this in ten years! Looking at Xiaoyou's still calm appearance, she couldn't wait to rush up and tear her mouth!

At this time, Du Ruoyun smiled again and said: "Xiaoyou, you can choose a day to go back, see if it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and when you come back, I will arrange a day for you to sleep." ”

Bedchamber? What is there to be happy about a woman who can't get pregnant? It's better to let her stay at home for two more days.

Xiao You's eyes were slightly cold, but his voice was still very meek: "Then tomorrow." ”

Ruoyun seemed very happy when he heard this, and immediately beckoned a few mothers-in-law to prepare for Xiaoyou's return tomorrow, and even arranged a few people to accompany him and take a few carriages, and he didn't shy away from it in front of Xiaoyou.

Xiao You pulled a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

Du Ruoyun felt a little tired after arranging all this, a pregnant woman can't work too hard, she just finished dealing with Mrs. An Guohou, and arranged Xiaoyou's affairs, this is busy, even if it makes her tired, she waved her hand and told Xiaoyou to retreat.

Xiao You's face didn't change, as if she wouldn't mind what Du Ruoyun said, and when she retreated, she was as silent as her person.

When there was only one Qingtong left in the house, she begged Du Ruoyun fiercely: "Miss, Xiaoyou has a ghost in her heart, how can you trust her?" ”

Du Ruoyun's expression was cold for a moment, and he said lightly: "I only ask you, are you talking about those daydreams?" I want to hear the truth. ”

Qingtong's face turned red, and after a long sound, he slowly lowered his head and said, "It's the slave who said it." But in the next moment, she raised her head violently: "But Miss! The slave just can't get used to seeing her always pretending to be soft and weak, as if we should all let it, and don't do much every day, but receive double the monthly money! That's not fair! ”

Du Ruoyun looked at her lightly, without saying a word, until he lowered his head at Qingtong.

"She lost her fertility because of me, and that's the best she's ever done for me. With this matter, I will raise her for the rest of my life, so what? ”

Qingtong was unconvinced and said: "Miss, but isn't that what she should do as a maid?" How could you treat her differently because of this? Doesn't this make us those who have served Miss so many years embarrassed? ”

Du Ruoyun glanced at her and said, "Then let me ask you, if I asked you to do that thing at that time, would you be willing?" ”

Qingtong said without hesitation: "The slave is willing!" ”

"Are you willing to never have a child of your own for the rest of your life and never have the opportunity to be a mother? This is the biggest punishment for a woman. Du Ruoyun continued slowly.

Qingtong hesitated.

She has been secretly communicating with Steward Li of Shangshu Mansion for a long time, and Steward Li promised to marry Du Ruoyun when she gave birth to a child, be a mother, and give birth to a bunch of lovely children, which is the happiness that Qingtong has imagined for a long time. All this will be realized in the near future, because the young lady has acquiesced to their family affairs.

Now Qingtong imagines that she is Xiaoyou, a crippled woman, unable to get pregnant, unable to compete for favor, and suddenly feels that the saddest thing in life is nothing more than this.

She stopped talking, because at this time, she suddenly remembered that when the young lady chose Xiaoyou as a stand-in, she and the maids in the courtyard were secretly relieved. At that time, no one was willing to do that thing, it was Xiaoyou who resisted, otherwise, as Du Ruoyun's eldest girl, she would not be spared.

"How? Do you still think it's superfluous for me to give Xiaoyou more money every month? Du Ruoyun said lightly.

Qingtong shook his head.

"It's good to figure it out, you can go out too, by the way, get me a bowl of bird's nest porridge." Du Ruoyun instructed lightly, and after speaking, she leaned back on the couch.

Qingtong nodded, and was about to retreat to the kitchen to make porridge, when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Miss, Xiaoyou just go back like this, will something happen?" ”

There was a slight smile on the corner of Du Ruoyun's mouth, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice: "There are more than a dozen secret guards secretly watching, and she can't fly with wings." But I don't think she's that stupid. ”

Qingtong listened to this, and didn't know why, and a strange feeling came to her heart. She couldn't figure it out, her young lady showed that she was very grateful to Xiaoyou on the one hand, but on the other hand, she showed that she was extremely wary of her, and seemed to be quite jealous, why is this?
