In late summer and early autumn, it rained heavily in Shengjing City.

The rain was so heavy that some low-lying places were filled with water.

In the city, in the corner of a courtyard in the General's Palace.

There was a small little maid, and now her whole body was soaked.

She knelt there tremblingly, as if a gust of wind could knock her down.

In the house not far away, there was a string of sounds of laughter and slapstick from the daughter's family.

The little maid lowered her head, and the tears in her eyes had dried up.

My body hurts and I am tired, and I still feel weak at the moment.

If it weren't for the last bit of willpower, I was afraid that people would fall.

In the room, a little maid suddenly broke into the house.

It looks like he is dressed in clean and decent clothes, and he uses a hairpin ring made of plain silver.

At a glance, I knew that this was a face-facing figure beside Miss Boudoir.

There is a world of difference from the little maid kneeling in the corner.

"What's the panic?"

As soon as the bright woman on the seat spoke.

I saw that the little maid slowed down her pace and tone and spoke.

"Fourth Miss, the eldest lady is back."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the fourth lady, who had never been interested, got up.

Then he commanded.

"Take Miss Ben's best hairpin rings and clothes, and I will definitely let the whole family take a look, I, Zhang Yulan, will not lose her so-called long-term daughter-in-law."

"Yes."

This was followed by a flurry.

When the fourth lady of the Zhang family went out, the brilliance on her body became more and more dazzling in the sunlight after the rain.

When I passed by the door, I saw the little maid who was still kneeling.

There was a hint of confidence in her eyes, but her good mood would not allow her to spoil it.

So he said coldly.

"Let her go back, so as to save the spread of the disease, I am mean again."

"The slave maid just sent her."

Turning around and walking two quick steps, he came to the kneeling little maid.

I saw that she was soaked from her hair to her toes.

There was no worry in my heart.

Instead, there is a feeling of being on top.

So what he said was also with a condescending attitude.

"Miss Reward, don't kneel here to get people's eyes, leave quickly."

The little girl's head was already buzzing.

But I didn't dare to show it at all.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a cause for yourself.

I could only answer in the loudest voice I could.

"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness."

But even so, to others, the voice is just like a mosquito and a fly.

The maid standing couldn't help but roll her eyes, turned around and tidied up her clothes.

Then he chased in the direction where the fourth lady had left.

Wait until you can't hear any footsteps outside.

The kneeling little maid breathed a sigh of relief.

She stumbled to the ground.

Anyway, nothing is clean from head to toe, and a little more muddy is fine.

Under the soaked trouser legs, I think I know that there must be a large bruise.

She's been on her knees since last night.

Where can you stand up so quickly.

Fortunately, everyone's attention is on the eldest lady who has returned to the mansion right now.

She is an inconspicuous maid like a weed, and naturally no one cares about her.

After waiting and sitting for a while, my legs and feet regained some strength.

He stood up against the wall.

Limped out of the yard.

She was originally sold into the house by her stepmother as a third-class maid.

Naturally, he is not worthy of being assigned to serve in the courtyard.

The reason why I got the opportunity to enter the courtyard of the fourth lady.

In the final analysis, it's because of this kind of face.

It's not the beauty of the country and the city, but some of the Chu Chu touching that I have seen especially pity.

Although she is only ten years old now, in the past two years, hardships have already sharpened her mind.

Forbearance, restraint, compromise.

That's what Miss Four's mother wanted.

She still remembered what the three ladies said when she was selected that day.

"At the moment, I am teaching at home, and in the future, you can take it to your husband's house to make a room, or your aunt, you can handle it."

It was because of this sentence that she suffered a lot.

beat and scold at every turn, or punish kneeling.

Except for her face, there was no good flesh on her body.

It just so happened that every time she was injured, the third lady would send someone to bring the best ointment.

It can not only invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, but also nourish the skin.

raised her to be delicate and delicate, but at the same time, she was more and more tormented by the fourth lady.

Sometimes, she was tortured so badly.

I also thought about jumping into a well and dying.

But there are younger brothers and sisters outside the house, and they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to make a living under the hands of their stepmother.

So, in despair, I thought of my mother's dying request and their flickering and frightened eyes.

She gritted her teeth every time and stood up.

Passing through the moon gate, she found a remote path back to the back room.

But my head is really dizzy.

So halfway through, he fainted and died on the side of the road.

Before she fell into a coma, she only vaguely saw a pomegranate tree.

It was planted in the yard of the eldest lady.

Now the fruit is hanging on the branches, which means that it is good.

On the other end, the eldest lady of the Zhang family, who was on the way back to the hospital, walked indifferently.

But if you look closely, you can also see a little distress between her eyebrows.

In my mind, I kept thinking about the words of the queen mother when she left the palace.

I couldn't help but sigh.

I am really entangled with the canary cage for a lifetime.

When I was a little confused about the future, I saw the little maid who passed out on the side of the road.

Midsummer around me is a cautious one.

Immediately spoke.

"Miss, don't go over, slave maid first see what's going on?"

"Okay."

This midsummer has been waiting for Miss Zhang's side since childhood.

Naturally, there are unusual human abilities and attitudes.

I saw that after she walked in, she squatted on the ground and looked left and right.

Then he looked at her clothes again.

I knew a little bit in my heart, and then I got up and returned to the eldest lady of the Zhang family and said.

"Miss Hui, this maid should be in the fourth lady's room, she is soaked, her face is a little flushed, presumably drenched in the rain, and now she is a little exhausted and faints, and the slave is still a little feverish."

When the eldest lady of the Zhang family heard this, her face was quite unhappy.

The people in her room, whether they lived or died, were interested in comparing themselves with themselves in the main hall.

Thinking of her dazzling clothes and jewelry just now, the eldest lady of the Zhang family couldn't help but feel upset.

The third aunt is also a brainless girl, teaching such a girl who spends her mind all day long dressing up and abusing her subordinates.

She is not afraid that the news will get out and she will have a reputation as a mean subordinate.

Will it lead to not being able to marry in the future?

"Find someone to help you into your house, find a doctor to come and show her, don't cause death."

"Yes."

At this moment, the Zhang family can't make any mistakes.

Otherwise, the queen's hard work will be in vain.
