Chapter Eighty-Five: True Colors
Looking at January's appearance, Xiao Qian was a little impatient.
He scolded fiercely: "You girl, can't you understand what this official said? The officer asks you, how did you get the wound on your face? If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't have to hide it. ”
He wasn't stupid, and now he could probably guess the truth of the matter. However, it needs to be said by the person concerned to believe it.
Looking at January's appearance, Mu Xiaoxiao was also anxious, she pushed January hard, making a chirping sound, meaning to let her tell the truth.
Xiao Qian was impatient, and asked Xiao Si behind him, "What happened to the welfare today?" Hurry up and recruit from the truth. ”
Xiao Si stepped forward and said seriously, "Her Royal Highness the princess has always felt that January respects Miss Xiaoyue, but he doesn't respect her, something similar happened last time." ”
"I don't know what the reason is today, but I came to January again and said that she didn't take the princess in her eyes, and January explained a few words, and the princess became even more angry, so she let people slap their mouths."
Xiao Si finished saying these words, and let out a long sigh of relief, he had always sympathized with January, but he was not able to help.
Hearing this, Xiao Qian was a little shocked, but it was impossible to reason with Nan Zixi for a slave, after all, she was a princess, and it was normal to be rude and willful.
"Since you have offended the princess and have been punished, it is also deserved. Now hurry back to find Lang Zhong and show yourself, and I will take care of the little lady tomorrow. As a slave, you should be smart and find out more about your own reasons. There must be a reason why the princess is looking for trouble with you, otherwise why is it you who are unlucky every time? ”
"Thank you, sir!" January hurried away.
Mu Xiaoxiao was not convinced by what Xiao Qian said, and turned away angrily.
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao coming to his side, January said gratefully: "Little Miss, thank you for saving the slave, if it weren't for you, the slave might have died in the firewood room." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head and pointed to her face, meaning to let her hurry up and look at Lang Zhong, a girl, being beaten like this, it is really distressing. But there was nothing she could do to help, because she was just a fox.
When the slaves and maids in the house saw that January had returned, they all hurried over, and they also knew that January had offended the princess and had been wronged.
"January, are you alright?"
"January, you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat."
Everyone was very enthusiastic, everyone was a slave, and when they saw their companions being punished like this, everyone's hearts were uncomfortable, because no one knew when such an encounter would be their turn.
In front of their masters, they have no rights to be slaves and maids, and even if they are wronged, they can only grit their teeth and bear it. If you are accidentally beaten to death, the family can get a few dollars at most, and many of them have no family, and if they die, they will die, and no one will redress your grievances.
That's how different people are, some are noble and some are lowly. Tragic people like them are walking on thin ice and cautious. If you accidentally offend your master, you will die without a place to bury.
Looking at his companions, January held back the pain, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
"You've been beaten like this, and you still say you're fine? At that time, I hid aside, afraid to come out, and I felt sorry for you. ”
January smiled bitterly, "It's okay, even if you come out, it won't help, we are all slaves, and you can't reason with the princess for me." That would only hurt one more person. ”
"But you didn't do anything to be sorry for the princess, why did she target you so much?" A maid was very puzzled.
"I don't know where I offended the princess, and she accused me so many times, and I didn't know what I had done wrong. Especially when she actually said that I want to be a hostess, how is this possible! I'm just a slave and I just want to be in peace. ”
"January, don't be too sad, those of us who are slaves and maids, our fate is so tragic, it's good that you're okay now, the princess let you come back, which means that I forgive you."
January shook her head helplessly, "It's not the princess who forgave me, it was the adults who let me out, if it wasn't for the little lady to find the adults, I might have died there." As she spoke, January cried softly.
Another maid hurriedly brought a bowl of porridge, "January, don't be sad, hurry up and drink porridge, your stomach will be more comfortable after drinking." ”
In January, I drank porridge under the persuasion of everyone, and I felt a little more comfortable.
"I heard that the princess is going back to the palace!" A maid looked outside and said softly.
"It's good to go back, the princess is here, we are under so much pressure! Even those palace maids bully people, if the princess marries in the future, the life of our people will not be so easy. ”
January sighed, "You're fine, but I'm miserable." But this is a matter that no one can decide, so it can only be left to fate. ”
"Don't worry too much, the princess may be in a bad mood! But I think the princess seems to hate Miss Jr. very much, and once I heard her tell the people around her that if it weren't for the fear that the adults would be angry, she really wanted to kill Miss Jr. ”
"What? actually said that she was going to kill the little lady, and the princess couldn't get along with a fox? ”
"Yes, I also found out that the princess doesn't like the little lady very much, so I think January must be hated by the princess because of the little lady! It's really unwarranted. ”
January nodded, "I didn't understand why this happened before, but now that I think about it, it's really because of Little Miss." The princess reminded me several times not to be too nice to the little lady, because then the little lady might leave on her own. ”
"The princess has said more than once that the little lady is not a fox at all, but a vixen, otherwise the adults would not love her so much."
"It's strange, even if you're not a little miss, you can't be blamed. What's more, you are not a little lady, you are an order from an adult, how can you abuse her? Although he is only an animal, he is rich in adults, and we treat him as a human being, and those of us who are slaves and maids can only obey the orders of our masters. ”
"I really didn't expect that the dignified princess would be so open-minded. It's too surprising, fortunately I'm back in the palace now, otherwise I wouldn't have spared January in the future. ”
"It's leaving now, but who knows if it's back a few days later? If of course the hostess in the future, then we slaves and maids will be miserable. ”
Everyone must be comforting January, while lamenting the misery of their own life, everyone is a slave and a slave, and they are all subordinates, and there are very few like Yu'er. There's no need to gloat over someone else's disaster, because you can't guarantee that it will never happen to yourself.
