The candlelight in the room flickered, but it was empty, the air seemed to be condensed, and the blood on Chu Xue's face was gone.

After a long time, Mingcui said in a panic: "Auntie, Miss Rui is gone, will she be taken away by that thief?" ”

"Oops......" Aunt Shen cried all of a sudden, "My hard-working Miss Rui, what can I do, you give me the death of that thief, if you want all the wealth to you, you must not hurt Miss Rui!" ”

"That thief seems to be a man, will he ...... Miss Rui?"

"Shut up!"

Before Mingcui's words were finished, she was stopped by the old lady, and I saw that although the old lady's face was ugly and her breathing was short, as if she was about to not get up in the next breath, she still refused to fall.

Aunt Shen wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and said, "The concubine begs the old lady to send someone to find out the whereabouts of Miss Rui." Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, I don't know what Miss Rui encountered this night, and the concubine only needs to think of the possibility...... This heart is uncomfortable to death, if Miss Rui has three long and two short, how can the concubine be worthy of her dead sister. ”

While pretending to cry Aunt Shen, she peeked at the old lady's expression, and saw that she was so angry that she almost fainted, and she was even more happy.

In a blink of an eye, she saw Chu Xue who was pressed to the ground by the maid and was still struggling, and her eyes suddenly lit up, no matter whether she could destroy the little slut or not, it would be a good thing to get rid of the maid beside her first, so Aunt Shen rolled her eyes and glanced at Mingyan.

Mingyan immediately stepped forward and slapped Chu Xue hard, and scolded: "Why didn't Miss Rui report the accident?" Even if you think that you can't disturb the old lady's purity, you should report to your aunt, who has always regarded Miss Rui as heavier than the eldest lady and the second lady, if you know that Miss Rui has an accident, she will sit idly by! My aunt came to find it, you still dare to stop it in one way, maybe you hurt Miss Rui, so you will hide it like this! ”

Aunt Shen seemed to understand after hearing this, and woke up and said: "It must be this cheap maid who harmed Miss Rui, quickly pull her down and interrogate her well, and be sure to ask about Miss Rui's whereabouts!" ”

The old lady was panting vigorously there, in fact, when she saw that Ling Qingrui was not in the room, her heart also "groaned", and her eyes turned black, but she knew that she had to stop Aunt Shen from continuing to ruin Ling Qingrui's reputation, otherwise the child would really have no way to live!

At this time, seeing Aunt Shen giving orders there, she wanted to stop her but couldn't speak, and immediately pinched it in Mama Chen's hand who was holding her, Mama Chen was slightly stunned, looked up at the old lady, and then understood what she meant, and immediately handed over the old lady to the maid to support, and she stepped forward to stop the person who was going to drag Chuxue out.

Seeing this, Aunt Shen said, "What is Mama Chen doing?" It's better to interrogate this slave and find out Miss Rui. ”

Chu Xue struggled to break free from the hands of others covering her mouth, and kowtowed to the old lady: "Old lady Mingjian, the slave maid has never seen any thieves break into Bixia Pavilion, it was Aunt Shen who insisted on breaking in with someone to disturb the young lady. ”

"Nonsense! If there were no thieves, where would Miss Rui go? Aunt Shen asked, and at the same time secretly gestured to Mingcui.

"Miss is just ......"

Without waiting for Chu Xue to finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly walked out of Ling Qingrui's room, and Aunt Shen immediately pointed at the black shadow and said, "The cheap maid is still quibbling, you see if this is not a thief, what ......is it?"

Aunt Shen's words suddenly couldn't be said as if she had been cut off, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

The person who slowly walked out of the room was a thief, but Ling Qingrui!

stared at Ling Qingrui who walked out slowly, and after a while, Aunt Shen found her voice and asked, "You, why are you here?" ”

Ling Qingrui didn't pay attention to Aunt Shen's meaning at all, walked straight to the old lady's side, gently took her hand, and rubbed it on her palm and arm, and after a while, the old lady slowly eased up, and her breathing finally stabilized.

Only at this time did Ling Qingrui hook her lips and smile: "Aunt Shen's words are so strange, I'm not in Bixia Pavilion, so where should I be?" ”

Mingcui said: "Just now, so many people saw with their own eyes that a thief broke into Miss Rui's room, and my aunt was also worried about Miss Rui's safety and worried that Miss Rui would be captured by thieves. ”

"Kidnapped by thieves? So where are the thieves? ”

Ling Qingrui handed over the old lady to Mama Chen to support, and she slowly approached Mingcui, with a faint smile on her lips, the two small pear vortices looming were cute, this sentence was also very soft, but it made Mingcui feel extremely dangerous, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Mingcui stammered, "Also, maybe she ran away." ”

"Ran away? Didn't you just say that thieves broke into my room? In front of everyone's eyes, how did he run away? ”

"How to run away ......"

Mingcui couldn't answer, in fact, she was wondering in her heart now, obviously she had found a man according to her aunt's instructions and sent him to Bixia Pavilion, if the news that Ling Qingrui was not in Bixia Pavilion was fake, then let that man really do something to Ling Qingrui, and even let him rush out of Ling Qingrui's room when necessary, and he was arrested by mistake, confirming Ling Qingrui's crime of privately accepting from others!

However, she sent a signal to the man, but it was not him but Ling Qingrui who came out, and the man was gone.

Mingcui couldn't answer in a daze, Aunt Shen saw that the situation was not good, and said loudly: "It's really good that Miss Rui is okay, it's really good that you're okay, Miss Rui didn't say a word when it was so noisy outside just now, and the concubine was in a hurry to let people open the door to check, but who knew that she didn't see Miss Rui's figure, so there was a misunderstanding." ”

"That's thanks to Aunt Shen's concern, it's just that Miss Ben was taking a bath just now, do you want so many people to come and take a look? I don't know if the next time Aunt Shen takes a bath, will she invite more than a dozen people to take a look! ”

As Ling Qingrui spoke, her gaze swept over the bodies of those maids one by one, her eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and everyone who was swept by her gaze lowered their heads one after another.

With the help of the sun that had just emerged, they could clearly see that Ling Qingrui's body still seemed to have a trace of moisture, and her hair was even wetter and scattered, completely like a picture of having just finished bathing and not having time to dry her hair, although there was something strange about bathing at dawn.

Ling Qingrui's gaze finally fell on Aunt Shen, and suddenly asked: "I don't know what Aunt Shen wants Aunt Shen to answer, I believe that Aunt Shen is in charge of the feed during this time, and she will definitely be able to answer the trivial matters." ”

"Miss Rui, let's hear it."

"I don't know if someone dares to slander his master as a slave and maid, intending to destroy his master's reputation, according to the rules of the house, how should he be punished?"

Hearing this, Aunt Shen knew that if she answered, then Mingcui and even Mingyan beside her might not be able to keep it, so she hesitated and didn't say anything at the moment.

"What, Aunt Shen doesn't know? It seems that Aunt Shen is still not familiar enough with the management of Zhongfang, so it is okay. Ling Qingrui said and turned her eyes to look at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, since Aunt Shen is not yet proficient in the middle feed, then Rui'er will ask Grandmother to work harder......

Without waiting for Ling Qingrui to finish speaking, Aunt Shen suddenly came to her senses, Ling Qingrui wanted to deprive her of the right to control the feed, and suddenly cut off Ling Qingrui's words with an ugly face, and said, "Look at what Miss Rui said, how could the concubine not know?" If a subordinate commits a crime, according to the rules of the government, he should first slap his mouth for twenty years, and then impose other punishments. ”

Aunt Shen wanted to avoid the important and keep Mingcui, and then she scolded Mingcui: "Miss Rui is also what you, a slave, can arrange at will?" Mingyan, you go to the palm mouth twenty to let Mingcui have a long memory! ”

Will she take it seriously if she lets Mingyan do it? Ling Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Twenty palms?" It's so close to my heart! Mingcui, as a slave, has repeatedly slandered Miss Ben, and Aunt Shen said that she should slap her mouth for twenty to set an example! But you don't have to worry about the smoke, you will carry out the first snow, just remember to be lighter. ”

"Yes, Miss!"

Chu Xue stood in front of Mingcui in response, squeezed Mingyan aside, and reached out and slapped Mingcui's face fiercely, although Miss said to be lighter, but how could she not hear what Miss really meant?

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

slapped down five times in a row, only to see the blood flowing from the corner of Mingcui's mouth, and was brought to her red and swollen face by Chu Xue's palm, and suddenly Mingcui looked miserable, she opened her mouth several times to beg for mercy, but she didn't even have time to make half a sound, and was interrupted by the slap that came from the fan.

Just when everyone couldn't bear to see them turn their faces away, they only heard a voice of "Stop!" Everyone thought that it was Aunt Shen or the old lady who was stopping it, but who knew that it was Ling Qingrui who followed the prestige, and even Chu Xue stopped in confusion.

"What a stupid boy, wouldn't this hurt your hands?" Ling Qingrui said softly.

Hearing this, Chu Xue's eyes widened, but when she saw the faint smile on Ling Qingrui's lips, she suddenly lit up, looked around, Chu Xue reached out and picked up a bamboo board, and said, "Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong, so she will correct it." ”

Holding the bamboo board, Chu Xue came to Mingcui's body again, the bamboo board whistled and fanned at Mingcui, and after twenty times, Mingcui could no longer support it and fainted!

All the maids seemed to feel that their faces were throbbing with pain, and their eyes couldn't help but tremble when they looked at Chu Xue, and it was hard to imagine that Chu Xue, who was small in size, was so ruthless when she started to move!

Chu Xue didn't care much about throwing down the blood-stained bamboo board in her hand, and saluted Aunt Shen: "Slave, thank you Aunt Shen for your fair punishment." ”

In a word, Aunt Shen hated her teeth so much that this palm mouth twenty did come from her mouth, but ......

Aunt Shen looked at Mingcui's fleshy face, a chill rose from the soles of her feet and quickly spread throughout her body, Aunt Shen couldn't help but retreat, but she just ......
