Chapter Twenty-Five: Beaten
"Smack-"
The jewelry box in front of the bronze mirror was thrown to the ground, and Ouyang Bingxue's angry look was reflected in the mirror, the little face was tense, his eyes were like dark clouds with lightning, and he stared at the jewelry boxes scattered on the ground, and suddenly as if he hadn't vented enough, he picked up the peach wood comb in front of the bronze mirror and broke it and fell to the ground.
Ruoxi bent down and squatted down to pick up the broken things on the ground little by little, and sighed helplessly, like a big sister to appease the angry person, "Second Miss, don't be angry, it's not worth it for you to be so angry for the eldest lady." β
Ouyang Bingxue sneered again and again, her little face, which had no smile, was even more cloudy, and her eyes were very gloomy, "What kind of thing is she!" Fooling others with a pitiful and innocent look every day, I feel disgusted when I look at Miss Ben! β
"Yes, yes, the eldest lady is indeed excessive, but the second miss, you don't have to be angry about it, after all, if she sees you so angry, she will surely gloat."
"Hmph, she might just be hiding to the side and stealing smugness now."
Ouyang Bingxue was full of sarcasm, as long as she thought of the cold king on the street today and reprimanded her for Ouyang Qing's madness, her heart felt as if she was soaked in sour vinegar, her lips were tightly pursed, and she couldn't help but clench her little fist hard.
"Hiss......"
The palm of her hand stabbed violently, Ouyang Bingxue spread out her palm and looked, because she was too impulsive to break the wooden comb just now, a wooden thorn was pierced on her palm, and her face suddenly tightened in pain.
"Don't move!"
Seeing that Ouyang Bingxue was about to pull out the wooden thorn with her other hand, Ruoxi hurriedly shouted, then quickly took out the embroidery needle from the cabinet and hurriedly stepped forward to take her hand, lowered her head and carefully helped her gently pick out the wooden thorn, and said softly: "The wooden thorn can't be pulled out directly, it will leave a scar, the slave maid will be fine if you pick it out little by little with the embroidery needle, second miss, you bear with it, it may hurt a little." β
Ouyang Bingxue looked at the girl in front of her who was carefully picking on her own thorns, and suddenly felt as if she had been touched by something, and a complex emotion overflowed from the bottom of her eyes, she was born as the second miss of the Ouyang family, to put it bluntly, she was just a concubine, she didn't get much attention, her mother was cowardly by nature, she taught her not to cause trouble since she was a child, not to leave the courtyard if she had nothing to do, and not to provoke the eldest lady and the eldest lady, at first Bingxue didn't understand, but later she understood that her mother was selfish!
Bing Xue has loved reading since she was a child, because she thinks that if she reads a good book, her father will like her, and she can also win glory for her mother, so she often fought against Ouyang Qingmad when she was a child, and even got her father's attention for suppressing Qingmad!
But then she realized that her mother didn't want her to cause trouble and affect her, she didn't want to let herself compete with Ouyang Qing for favor, and she didn't want to make herself outstanding!
Because she said that a concubine doesn't have to be the best.
Concubine......
She turned out to be just an insignificant concubine.
Mother is timid and cowardly, never fought for her, her father rarely came to this courtyard, even if she came, she only spent the night with her mother, and she didn't look at her, the so-called father's love and mother's love, she got very little since she was a child, and the whole Ouyang Mansion only had their kind and people's eldest lady Ouyang Qingmad, no one knew that there was an unknown second lady Ouyang Bingxue in the backyard, and over time, she became more and more cold, and she was not close to anyone at a young age, and even her mother couldn't enter her heart.
However, at this time, a lowly maid cared so much about her?
If you want to say that she is not moved, it is definitely fake, but Ouyang Bingxue is used to having a cold face and is not good at expressing her feelings, so she looked at Ruoxi's clean and beautiful little face in a daze, she even felt that Ouyang Qing's hypocritical kindness was more amiable and kind than Ruoxi.
Thinking of the whip marks left by Ouyang Qingmad on Ruoxi's body, Ouyang Bingxue's eyes were cold, Ouyang Qingmad would pay the price for what she did sooner or later!
Ruoxi gently handled her palms, and finally smeared a layer of ointment on her palms, and said while blowing, "Does it hurt?" After applying the ointment, it can recover in a few days, and the most important thing for the daughter's family is the blemishes, so the second lady does not have to worry about leaving scars. β
Ouyang Bingxue shook her head, "It's okay." "What if there is a scar? Anyway, no one will feel sorry for her, no one will care about this.
Ruoxi saw that her expression was gloomy, so she smiled at her, "Second Miss, don't think nonsense, today's events should be regarded as a dream and let it pass, always remember it like this and be depressed in your heart, it is better to forget it as soon as possible, it doesn't matter what kind of cold king and hot king he is, others don't understand the second lady's good, Ruoxi understands it is enough." β
"You know? What do you know about me? β
Ouyang Bingxue couldn't help laughing at herself, she didn't even know herself, why did others say that?
"Second Miss craves recognition, doesn't she?"
However, when she heard Ruoxi's words, she was stunned, and then as if she had been discovered a secret that had been hidden for many years, she immediately said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! β
"Second Miss, don't be angry, the slave has absolutely no intention of being sarcastic about you, because the slave and the maid understand your psychological feelings very well, when you were a child, the slave maid also longed to be valued by her relatives, but unfortunately ......"
"What a pity?"
Hearing this, Bing Xue was inexplicably less annoyed, but she was puzzled by Ruoxi's life experience.
"It's a pity that Ruoxi has no father since she was a child, only her mother who depends on each other, but her mother can't help herself, she is too busy to take care of herself, and she is naturally cowardly, no matter what the slave and maid do, no matter what she says, it is wrong, and in the end, the slave and maid simply don't say anything, don't do anything......"
Ruoxi slowly lowered her eyes, a crystal tear slid down her cheeks, her thin body looked weak at this time, her falling hair blocked half of her face, only half of her sad eyebrows were revealed, Ouyang Bingxue moved her lips, but found that she couldn't say anything.
The girl in front of her is undoubtedly pitiful, she is better than her, maybe it is because of the same disease, Ouyang Bingxue's heart gradually softened, and her defense and rejection of Ruoxi disappeared a lot unconsciously.
She reached out and took the initiative to take Ruoxi's little hand, and said clumsily, "Don't cry, it's ugly." β
"Flutter ......"
Ruoxi burst into tears and laughed, stretched out her hand to put her hair hanging down to her ear, and looked at the ice and snow, "Second Miss, it's beautiful when no one cries." β
Ouyang Bingxue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but she didn't notice that Ruoxi's eyes flashed with mockery, sure enough, she was deceived so easily, it seems that the two young ladies in the Ouyang family are not so smart, the eldest young lady is naΓ―ve, and the second young lady is stupid, she is really effortless to do this, it seems that she will soon be able to complete the task given to her by her master.
"Sure enough, it's the master's and servant's deep affection."
At this moment, a very mocking voice came, and the two of them looked over, only to see Xianglian walking in with a pale face, glanced at Ruoxi meaningfully, and then went straight to Ouyang Bingxue, without saying a word, a slap hit her in the face.
"Smack!"
"Second Miss!"
Seeing Ouyang Bingxue being beaten over her head, Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Ouyang Bingxue didn't move, and kept maintaining the posture of being beaten, and then heard Xianglian's cold voice, "Ouyang Bingxue, listen, in the future, you stay away from Qingma, if there is a next time you are disrespectful to your sister, don't blame the aunt for being ruthless, you must know that Qingmad will be the one who wants to be the princess in the future, you deliberately find fault on the street regardless of people's jokes, and even involve the Ouyang family, don't you know how angry the master is?" Auntie's slap is to wake you up, and you can't do foolish things in the future, otherwise if the lord gets angry, Auntie won't be able to keep you! β
"Big lady, the second lady didn't find fault, you shouldn't blame ......"
"What are you! Is there a place for you to speak? Get the hell out of here! β
Originally, Xianglian didn't like Ruoxi, but this little slut is still messing around here, how annoying it is!
"Ruoxi, you stand down."
Ouyang Bingxue didn't want to see Ruoxi being affected, so she took a deep breath and turned her face to look directly into Xianglian's eyes, "Auntie, it doesn't matter if you slap me, but Bingxue didn't do anything wrong, since the eldest sister is the future princess, but she is with King Han?" If this spreads, I'm afraid it will directly affect the reputation of the Ouyang family, auntie, is there something wrong with Bing Xue? I just want my eldest sister to think carefully and not to go down the wrong path. β
"Crooked?"
The eldest lady didn't laugh angrily, looked around her, squinted her eyes and snorted coldly, "Who is Qing Mad, who doesn't know who in the entire Heavenly Empire?" If you insist on putting your eldest sister on a trumped-up charge, do you think I will agree? Bing Xue, didn't the aunt say you, can your jealousy not be so heavy? After all, you and Qing Madness are blood sisters, are you happy to see that something happened to your sister? β
Ouyang Bingxue slowly lowered her head, hiding the hatred in her eyes, yes, she just wanted to watch Ouyang Qing's reputation be discredited, she wanted to watch her end up to the point where she was not a bullshit, only in this way, she could be relieved of the resentment and unfair treatment she had suffered for so many years in her heart!
Also, if it weren't for Ouyang Qing's madness today, she wouldn't have been disgusted by King Han! Thinking of Huangfu Jue's cold gaze, Ouyang Bingxue was a little difficult to accept, all of this was caused by madness!
Ruoxi bit her lip and begged bitterly: "Big lady......"
"Hugh wants to interject!"
Without waiting for Ruoxi to speak, she was swept over by the eldest lady with a cold look, and Ruoxi was so frightened that her shoulders shrunk and she lowered her head silently, this damn eldest lady is really hateful, she has insulted her repeatedly, and she really wants to tear her in half!
Xianglian stared at Ruoxi with contempt in her eyes, a lowly girl also wanted to play tricks in front of her, you know, she didn't know how many methods she used when she was young, she didn't have enough to see, so Xianglian looked at Ouyang Bingxue who lowered her head again, the little girl in front of her was only eleven or twelve years old, but her mind was so deep, she was afraid that she would bring a lot of trouble to Qingqi in the future, so she simply didn't do it, and gave her some hardships today, so that she could remember this lesson.
"Bing Xue, you go and accompany Qing Mad, the eldest lady will not pursue this matter, and the eldest lady will intercede for you."
Ouyang Bingxue raised her head, her eyes were firm, and her small body was straight, "I'm not wrong, why do you apologize to her?" β
"You ......"
Xianglian suddenly glared at her angrily, but she had already expected this girl to say this, she had been very stubborn since she was a child, Xianglian was sure that she would not admit her mistake, "Auntie will give you another chance to apologize to Qingmad, otherwise...... You know the consequences of your father's wrath. β
