"Childe, the adults fainted in a hurry." The housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to pray.

Zhou De is a civil official, he has always been honest and self-serving, but now his daughter has taken his life, and the Zhou family is almost in trouble.

These days, Zhou De is forced to take a vacation to stay at home, and the more he thinks about these things alone, the more angry he becomes, the more he thinks about it, the more scared he becomes, his daughter is in prison, but he, as a father, has no way.

"Where's my father?" Zhou Ziyu asked with a worried expression.

In the past few days, in order to make Zhou Jiu'er suffer less in prison, he asked people to take care of him everywhere.

However, Liang Yi is solely responsible for the case of Lord Liang, and Liang Yi is rigid and stubborn, and no matter who he is, he refuses.

In the past few days, Zhou Ziyu has also fainted with sorrow, and the whole person looks extremely tired, but he is holding on to the Zhou Mansion.

"The adult is resting in the bedroom at the moment, and the doctor is also treating the adult."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Ye Sili and Gu Liwu to apologize:

"I'm sorry, my father suddenly felt unwell today, so Yu will go first."

Gu Liwu picked up Zhou Ziyu's saluting hands, and said in a tone full of concern:

"Lord Zhou's body is important, if Ziyu doesn't mind, Ah Li and I can find out a thing or two in the house by ourselves."

"Naturally. Uncle Zhou, take the county lord and Li Wei to go to the house for a walk. ”

After Zhou Ziyu instructed Uncle Zhou, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, to entertain Ye Sili and Gu Liwu, he hurriedly went to visit Zhou De.

"County Lord, Leave the Worry Prince, please come here."

Uncle Zhou is kind to people and gets along very well. At this time, Uncle Zhou took Ye Sili and Gu Liwu to Zhou Jiu'er's room and said:

"This is the lady's boudoir, and no one will go in casually on weekdays."

Ye Sili stared at Zhou Jiu'er's room, always felt that something was strange, thought for a while, and finally remembered to ask:

"Where is Zhou Jiu'er's maid?"

Uncle Zhou replied honestly: "Previously, the young lady changed several maids, saying that it was not very pleasant, so they were all driven out. ”

No maids?

Ye Sili thought about it carefully, it was true that she had never seen Zhou Jiu'er followed by maids, most of them were guards or male servants.

"And who cleans her room on weekdays?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhou's face was a little unnatural, and he organized his language for a long time before replying:

"Naturally, we can't enter the lady's room, and most of them are ...... on weekdays."

"By what?" Ye Sili noticed Uncle Zhou's abnormality.

Uncle Zhou glanced up, lowered his head and replied:

"Cleaned by Qingluo."

"But since you took Qingluo away, Wang San has been taking care of Miss's daily life."

？？？

Ye Sili and Gu Liwu couldn't help but look back at Qing Luo, only to see Qing Luo hanging her head, unwilling to raise her head, but her ears were crimson.

Zhou Jiu'er is a girl who has not left the cabinet, how can a man take care of her daily life?

If this spreads, I am afraid that it will ruin the reputation of the entire Zhou Mansion.

Presumably it was also for this reason that Uncle Zhou was hesitant and reluctant to speak.

"Ahem...... cough lightly" Gu Liwu coughed lightly twice, returned to the topic and asked:

"Uncle Zhou is tired of taking us to Wang San's room."

Uncle Zhou reluctantly agreed.

"Uncle Zhou, do you know how Wang San entered the mansion?" Gu Liwu asked as he walked.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhou raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, thinking that the prince of Fang Cai had to fully cooperate with the county lord and the prince of Liwu, so he still replied:

"The young lady often goes to the Chengxi Market...... After buying back some slaves, Wang San bought them back from the west of the city. ”

Ye Sili suddenly thought that Zhou Jiu'er had been pampered and willful since she was a child, and the entire Zhou Mansion was still brought by her, I am afraid that only Zhou Ziyu didn't know what ridiculous things his sister had done.

"The county lord, the prince of Li Wu, the residence of Wang San is here."

Uncle Zhou took the two of them to a corner behind Zhou Jiu'er's house.

In front of it was a shooting range specially sent by Zhou De to build for Zhou Jiu'er, and in front of Ye Sili and Gu Liwu was a residence where low-grade wood could not even avoid the wind and rain.

Seeing Ye Sili's surprised expression, Uncle Zhou raised his hand again to wipe the thin sweat on his forehead.

Hearing that there was a sound coming from the room, Gu Liwu turned his head and asked Uncle Zhou:

"Anyone else in the room?"

After that, Gu Liwu and Ye Sili wanted to walk inside.

Zhou Fu hurriedly stopped the two and said, "County Lord, leave the worried son, you can't go here." ”

"It's too dirty, it will stain your clothes." Uncle Zhou explained.

Uncle Zhou stepped forward and shouted a few times outside, shouting out all the people in the house.

Immediately afterward, seven or eight ragged servants came out.

"Qingluo, you're not dead?"

Someone saw Qingluo with sharp eyes, and immediately ran forward with ecstasy.

The rest of the people were originally listless, but as soon as they heard this, they also looked up one after another, and saw that the person in front of them was Qingluo, and they were overjoyed.

"Qingluo, you're still alive!"

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

Qingluo also had red eyes, looked at Ye Sili, and after getting Ye Sili's permission, he immediately took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to hug them, but those people pushed him away, looked down at his tattered and dirty body, and said:

"Don't stain your clothes."

A few people took a large number of Qingluo several times.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't miss arms or legs."

"The wounds on my body are healed."

"The whole person looks a lot ruddy, it seems that you are doing well these days."

"I didn't know to give us a letter to my brother even if he was still alive, which made us sad in vain."

Qingluo's voice trembled, and she was inevitably excited when she saw her former friend.

"It was the county lord who saved me that day."

Hearing this, those few people suddenly came back to their senses, turned their heads to look at the people in front of them, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.

"The slave should die, but I didn't see the lord of Le'an and the son of Liwu here."

Ye Sili looked down, they all had injuries of different severity on their bodies, most of them had scarred, but some of the deeper wounds had not even been medicated, and the wounds were already bleeding yellow water.

Gu Liwu let them get up, "How did you get this injury?" ”

"This ......" several people hesitated and did not dare to speak.

Ye Sili asked tentatively, "But Zhou Jiu'er?" ”

She remembered that when she rescued Qingluo, Qingluo was also covered in injuries like them.

Sure enough, the faces of several people changed slightly, but they didn't dare to respond.

Ye Sili saw that Qingluo's eyes were ruddy, his teeth were clenched, his whole body trembled slightly, and he turned around and asked:

"Uncle Zhou, the county lord still doesn't ask why such a big Zhou Mansion actually gives his subordinates' residence so dilapidated."

Uncle Zhou wiped his sweat.

"I don't ask why the Zhou Mansion let his subordinates be thinly dressed and poorly clothed on a cold day."

Uncle Zhou wiped his sweat again.

"Don't even ask why the Zhou Mansion sits idly by and ignores Zhou Jiu'er's behavior."

Uncle Zhou wiped his sweat even more.

The lord of this county only asked...... Do you like to abuse your subordinates? ”

Uncle Zhou sweated like rain, so he had to "plop" and kneel, and said bitterly:

"County Lord Mingjian...... They...... This...... It's all Miss's meaning. ”

"Oh?"

Seeing that Ye Sili didn't believe it, Uncle Zhou hurriedly explained:

"They are not slaves arranged by the house, they are all bought back by the young lady."

"Or from a poor family, or a slave who makes a mistake in someone else's family, or a ......," Uncle Zhou said this, unconsciously glancing at Qingluo, "Or, the son of a wandering family from a big family." ”

"Miss likes to take in good-looking minions."

Ye Sili turned his head and looked at the appearance of those people, they were indeed born well, but if you want to think about it, I am afraid that Qingluo will win.

Qingluo's facial features are delicate and handsome, when Ye Sili first saw him, he was as thin as firewood, but now he doesn't look as sick as that, his face is a little moisturized, and his eyes are slightly red and tearful at this time, which has a pitiful taste.

Gu Liwu quietly took a small step to the right, just covering Ye Sili's gaze at Qingluo.

"......" Before Ye Sili could speak, the corners of Gu Li's mouth were lightly raised, and he asked Uncle Zhou seriously:

"Then why did the Zhou Mansion withhold their supplies?"

Uncle Zhou shouted that he was wronged.

"I distribute people's monthly money and necessary items according to the rules, but ...... But these people were brought back by the young lady herself, and the young lady specially said it...... Not to give them away. ”

Hearing this, Ye Sili only felt that Zhou Jiu'er acted so absurdly.

"And where do they get their food and clothing from?"

"This ...... This slave is not clear, the young lady usually does not allow others to enter the shooting range in the back, and even the son has never come. ”

Seeing Ye Sili's face change, those people seemed to be a little angry, and hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Uncle Zhou:

"Don't blame Uncle Zhou, the county lord is not in the mansion these days, and Uncle Zhou often secretly sends us some cold things and food."

Seeing this, Qingluo also stepped forward and knelt down to intercede for them.

"Qingluo, what are you doing here? Get up. ”

Ye Sili felt very sorry for Qingluo, it stands to reason that Qingluo is a few years older than her, and she is also a child of a famous nobleman, but she has been tortured so much because of the changes in her family.

"County Lord, what they say is true."

Qingluo was reluctant to get up, and insisted on interceding for her friend:

"Miss Zhou brought us back, and we lived here, and she would choose her favorite minions to serve her ......"

Qingluo's voice suppressed the grievances and stubbornly did not let herself cry.

But how can a person in his teens endure such grievances.

His original life was also to stretch out his hands and eat to open his mouth, without worrying about food and clothing, and he didn't have to look at people's faces.

But during those days in the Zhou Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a nightmare and a shame.

"When she has nothing to do, she takes pleasure in teasing and torturing us at this shooting range......"

Qingluo tried his best to keep his voice flat, but every word would come to his mind, and the scene at that time would come to mind, and it was not a kind of torture for him?

"We watched our brothers get hurt and die, and it won't be long before there will be new arrivals......"

Ye Sili remembered that in the past, on the hunting ground, Zhou Jiu'er would take the servants of his mansion to be bullseyes, but now it seems that those people are not the slaves of the Zhou Mansion who made mistakes, but the people she bought back from the outside privately!
