Chapter 39: Qiu Shu
Early the next morning, it was Qiu Shu who came to serve her to change her clothes and makeup.
Xiyan sat in front of the mirror, looked at Qiu Shu's face, and whispered, "Qiu Shu, these days, is the Rong Mansion still peaceful?" ”
Qiu Shu's eyes stared at her hand, and she replied cautiously, "Miss Hui, everything is fine." ”
Xiyan paused for a moment and said with a smile, "How many years has Qiu Shu been with me?" ”
"Miss Hui, it's been seven years."
Xiyan waved her hand to stop, and then said lightly, "Am I not good to you?" ”
Qiu Shu's hand stopped in the air as if she didn't know where to put it, her eyes gently glanced at Xiyan's face in the glasses, and replied nervously, "Miss, of course Miss is good to me." ”
Xi Yan turned around, looked into her eyes, and said, "Then why are you lying to me?" ”
Qiu Shu didn't understand the meaning of Xiyan's words, so she knelt down busily, "Miss, what do you mean by this?" When did Choo Sook cheat on Miss? ”
What Xiyan didn't like the most was the way she knelt down at every turn, and said coldly, "Aunt Deng is a spendthrift and often uses the money from the Rongfu treasury to go out to do some unknown things, and I keep you in the Rongfu Mansion just to let you and Steward Wang monitor her every move." However, when I was busy with flowers and flowers, you did not report anything to me about her, but Steward Wang often told me about the changes in the Rong Mansion and Aunt Deng's behavior. Seeing that, Rong Mansion can be said to be an empty shell in an instant, do you dare to say that it is still fine? ”
Qiu Shu didn't expect Xiyan to know everything well, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Miss." I thought you already knew it, and you didn't need me anymore."
"Spring will never leave me; Xia Yue has been running around in flower shops and flower fields; Winter painting is too young, and she is the daughter of her mother's eldest maid before her death, I pity her and don't let her do things; And you, I've always trusted you, but you seem to be prevaricating me. Even so, I don't need so many people around me to serve, so you can pack up your things today, leave Rongfu, and live on your own. ”
Qiu Shu hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Miss, Qiu Shu doesn't dare." Please let me stay with you. I picked it up by my master, I have no father or mother outside, if I leave Rongfu, I won't be able to live at all. Miss, please Miss don't drive me away, please Miss don't drive me away! ”
Xiyan looked at her coldly, since Xiaoqing's death, the sensitive Xiyan has been subtle in her observation of the people around her, but in her intuition, the one she distrusts the most is Qiu Shu. She is not like Aunt Deng and Rong Xifu, disgust and antagonism are expressed on the face. She doesn't say anything, she doesn't ask.
In addition, she was busy outside a few days ago, and if she didn't return to Rongfu at night, she rarely saw Qiu Shu for the first time when she came back. And she found that Qiu Shu seemed to have a good relationship with Feng Yin, which made her psychologically uncomfortable. In fact, she didn't really want to get rid of Qiu Shu, she remembered that Qiu Shu died for herself in her previous life, and she was loyal to herself, so she wouldn't sentence her to death so easily.
Therefore, her words today were just to give Qiu Shu a wake-up call, and seeing Qiu Shu like this, she said again: "Okay, you get up." For my father's sake, I'll leave you in Rongfu for the time being. ”
"Thank you, miss." Qiu Shu continued to kowtow.
Xiyan looked at her, "In the future, you don't need to monitor Aunt Deng anymore, you just need to help me pay more attention to Feng Yin, she is my father's daughter, and she is here alone." During my time, there were too many unpeaceful things happening around me, and I didn't want the people around me to have any mistakes. Xiyan said, looking carefully at Qiu Shu's cheek.
"Yes. Cho Sook remembered! ”
"Go, I remember a month ago, I asked you to help me embroider a silk coat for Feng Yin, have you embroidered it? Now bring it, and I'll send it to Feng Yin myself. ”
"Miss Wind is not ......in the mansion," Qiu Shu blurted out.
Xiyan frowned, "You said Feng Yin is not in the Rong Mansion?" ”
Qiu Shu's eyes fluttered, and she became nervous again, "I listened to the maid next to Miss Feng, Xiaoyue." ”
Hehe...... It's good not to be there, it seems that everything is right, it is the wicked who always show their fox tails, "I know, you go and ......"
As Xi Yan was talking, Chun Gui walked in softly and approached her, "The people sent to find Young Master and Miss Cousin have returned." ”
Xiyan was overjoyed, nodded, and said to Qiu Shu, "You go and get the silk clothes first." ”
"Yes." Qiu Shu said, "Miss, on the table is the porridge I boiled for you in the morning, you can drink it." Sister Chungui, I'll go down first. ”
Xiyan's face became gentle at this time, she was still the attentive Qiu Shu, "Okay, I know, you can go." ”
After Qiu Shu left, Xi Yan put on the veil again to see the man, and said coldly, "Where is the person?" ”
The man replied respectfully, "It's in a small mansion by the Yanliu River." ”
Smoke Willow River?
Xi Yan's heart suddenly lifted, "Xiao Mansion, have you seen how many people there are?" ”
"I only saw the young master come out to buy things alone. The rest of the people didn't see it. ”
"I see, you continue to keep an eye on their movements and report back to me in real time. Let's go down. ”
"Yes."
After the man left, Xiyan looked at Chun Gui and said, "They must be robbing there." I guess they don't know about me yet, and they must still be worried, let's go over now. She said and was about to get up.
They were about to go out, when Aunt Deng and Rong Xifu came.
Aunt Deng's face was very tired, and her makeup was not as delicate and bright as before, but Rong Xifu seemed to be fine, and she glanced at Xiyan from the moment she entered the room, and when she saw Xiyan wearing a veil again, she snorted and scolded, "Who did you go out to seduce again?" ”
Although Xiyan was anxious, her complexion never changed, she just pulled the corners of her mouth and ignored her.
Seeing her attitude, Rong Xifu immediately became angry, pointed at Xiyan's nose and scolded, "Are you looking for the prince?" You, you, you, you're so cheap! Didn't you play ambiguous with the Nine Princes before? Why are you getting along with the prince again now? You shameless, step on two boats! ……”
She was still scolding, and with a "snap", five finger prints immediately appeared on her cheeks, and she looked at Xiyan in shock.
"This slap is for my father! I am the daughter of Rongfu, the son is not the fault of the father, the father has no way to teach the daughter, and gave birth to a stupid and uneducated concubine like you. It's time to fight! ”
Rong Xifu covered her right cheek and opened her mouth to scold.
With a "snap", she was slapped on the left side of her face again, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and looked at Xiyan with wide eyes.
Xi Yan slowly approached her cheek and said coldly: "This slap is for your mother." She must have taught the rules of respect and humility, right? She said and looked at Aunt Deng, "Isn't it, Auntie?" ”
"Ahhhh......h As he spoke, he raised his hands and went to pinch Xiyan's neck.
Xi Yan dodged over, and she fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.
"Mother, mother......" she screamed, her cheeks flushed, making her even more amused like a clown
