After everyone retreated, only Qiushui was left. Rong Zhao took the wolf brush and lightly dipped it in ink, wrote the word "forbearance", did not raise his head, and said: "Do you blame me for knowing the ins and outs of the matter for a long time, but I still want to scold you with a cane?"

Her handwriting is still not good, neither delicate nor beautiful, nor a little style, she saw Rong Xi's handwriting that day, and it is even better than her writing now.

A little irritable, Qiushui began to be silent again, she picked up the paper ball and threw it on the ground, speaking in a tone of anger, "I asked you, are you dumb?"

Qiushui was frightened, and looked at Rong Zhao timidly, "No, how dare the slave." There was a cry in her tone, "It's the slave who is not angry and disappoints the young lady." ”

"So you know why I hit you. Rong Zhao looked at her rarely, smiled, and turned his eyes sharp, "I was wronged, but I didn't defend myself, you said you should fight!"

She wrote down the word "type" again, which was better than the word just now, she was barely satisfied, raised her head, and continued: "My Rong Zhao has always been me bullying others since I was born, and no one has dared to bully me and make me angry." In this Hou Mansion, I can say that I want the wind to be windy, to be rainy, and the people around me are also high because of my rising tide, even the rough maids outside are looked down upon. You are the first-class maid by my side, and no one dares to bully you. ”

She said again: "But I didn't expect that my own people bullying my own people in this Qiwulou, it's really a joke to say it." ”

Qiushui's eyes were full of tears, she turned her face, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, "The slave has disgraced the young lady." ”

"Why didn't you clarify when Luoxia slandered?" Rong Zhao looked at her and really felt that he hated iron and steel, but he was helpless, and sighed slowly, "Do you know that if you hadn't happened to be seen by Spring Roll today, you would have been wronged in vain, and maybe you would be the one who was demoted to a second-class maid." ”

Qiushui wanted to speak and stopped, and muttered: "Because Luoxia is the most trusted person by Miss, the slave is afraid that even if the slave tells the truth, Miss will not believe it, and will think that the slave is lying, and in the end the slave and maid will be kicked out." Her voice grew quieter and quieter, like a mosquito.

Although Miss is close to her these days and alienated from Luoxia, she still understands her position, and in her heart Luoxia is the closest person to Miss.

"In your mind, is Miss Ben the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong?" Rong Zhao said sharply.

Qiushui was frightened, and hurriedly said: "No, no, it's the slave maid who thinks nonsense, and the slave maid who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Rong Zhao raised his hand to let her up, and she was so angry that she lost her temper. It seems that she has to reflect on it, did she really favor Luoxia too much before, and she favored Luoxia to the point that she covered the sky with one hand.

"That's why you can't bear it and don't defend it at all?" Rong Zhao asked.

"The slave is stupid, not as clever as Luoxia, even if she says it, she can't tell why. Qiushui replied, "It doesn't matter if you are wronged or beaten, the slave is afraid that the young lady will kick the slave out, so the slave and the maid have to choose to be silent." ”

Her eyes were full of sincerity, so that Rong Zhao couldn't bear to reprimand him anymore.

She sat down and looked at Qiushui calmly, even though she had a thousand words in her heart, she couldn't tell her at this time.

What to say? Could it be that she believed the wrong person? said that Luoxia would betray her in the future?

She didn't need to tell anyone about these things, she just needed to know them.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go, your deed of sale is still with me, and I have to leave you to serve me for the rest of my life. "Just like in the last life, you were able to accompany me to the end, and in this life, I hope that in the future, no matter what, you can be by my side.

Rong Zhao's voice went from initial anger to calm and then gentle. She smiled leisurely at the autumn water, like the first petal to bloom on the earth in spring.

Qiushui was grateful, the satisfaction of the soul, the pleasure filled her entire chest, as if a little more excitement would overflow.

She has a stupid mouth, she can't say anything, she can't say anything beautiful, she can only use practical actions to knock heavily on the ground, "Slave and maid thank Miss for your grace, and the slave and maid will do their best to serve the good lady, and she will die with all her might." ”

"Get up, there's still a wound on your buttocks. Rong Zhao laughed, his delicate voice was smart and graceful, "Just do your best, and you will be spared after death." ”

Qiushui's round face swayed with a sweet smile, and it was like seeing a pure water source in this dirty mud. She smiled innocently, as pure as a child's innocence, "What you want, when Miss becomes an immortal, the slave will still be a virgin next to Miss." ”

She rarely said such nice words, and couldn't help but laugh at Rong Zhao, Rong Zhao laughed loudly, and said angrily: "Are you also so oily? Okay, go down and rest." After the joke, she became serious again, "You have to remember that there is only one master in this Qiwu Tower, and that is me." ”

For some reason, there was a feeling of loneliness on her face, as if she had experienced a thousand sails on the side of a sunken boat, and there was a vagueness that others could not read.

"You don't need to look at anyone's face, you just need to look at my face. I can treat my people however I want, but others can't even move a finger, even if it's slander, it's not allowed. ”

Rong Zhao also said something similar to Qiushui yesterday, but what he said was not as profound and serious as today.

Qiushui nodded solemnly, "Yes, the slave has written it down, and it will not be forgotten." ”

"If something like this happens again, and you can't even tell the difference, My punishment for you will be greater. Maybe it's fifty rods and a hundred rods, or maybe they will demote you to a low-class miscellaneous servant, or even drive you out of the house. ”

"Yes, the slave must keep it in mind. ”

"Let's go back. ”

"The slave and maid are gone. ”

Looking at the back of Qiushui's departure, Rong Zhao's eyes froze, and the moment of stay seemed to have a lot of memories flashing in front of her eyes, her tone became light, "Don't think that I'm still the brainless Rong Zhao, the previous one is dead, and now she knows how to distinguish between right and wrong." ”

One leg had already crossed the threshold, Qiushui's back stiffened, and he looked back at Rong Zhao for some reason. She didn't hear it very clearly, vaguely, not sure it was the sentence she heard.

"What did Miss say?"

"It's nothing, you go down, let me be quiet. After a moment of thinking flying back to be caught, Rong Zhao waved his hand to let Qiushui leave, and did not let anyone enter the house to wait, only quietly alone.

Even if she lives again, the road ahead is still dangerous, and she doesn't know what awaits her in the future. She just knows that what she has to do now is to strengthen herself, and the people around her are to strengthen her armor. The armor is hard, so she is more capable of fighting back.
