Chapter 272: Punished Successively (I)
The break was short, and we soon began a new round of labor. This time, my task was to clean the picked vegetables. I think this should be very simple, and it will be done quickly and handed over to the housekeeper. I thought I could end the day's work early, but before the basket of vegetables hit the ground, it was overturned by the whip, and then the whip rained down on me.
This sudden change stunned me, and I didn't even think of how to fight back, so I only used my hands to protect my head and blindly dodge.
The housekeeper scolded while whipping: "I don't know what to do, girl, who chose you in the first place blindly!" How can you wash the dishes with such virtue for the masters? The masters blame it, who can afford it? Who are you harming? ”
I was beaten and dodged, my clothes were torn, and my hands and body were scarred. I gritted my teeth and neither fought back nor begged for mercy.
Ju Yan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to intercede for me: "Mama, please remember Jingjing's first offense, spare Jingjing!" Ju Yan motioned to me as she spoke, asking me to beg for mercy as well.
The pride in my bones compelled me not to beg for mercy, but reason told me that I had to beg for mercy. In the end, reason prevailed over pride, and I shouted, "Mama, spare your life!" Jingjing knows that she is wrong, Jingjing is willing to accept the punishment, and she just begs Mama to stop fighting! ”
The housekeeper fought for a while, and finally stopped. I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief, but the housekeeper turned around and pointed to the dishes as high as a hill and said, "Wash these up!" No meal or sleep without finishing! ”
Although the injuries didn't hurt me much, I couldn't help but gasp when my hand reached into the soapy water. It hurts! I think I'm so embarrassed right now that I might not even be able to recognize me when I pass by. How would Wei Wu react if he saw me like this? I guess he will rush forward directly and bite through the neck of the housekeeper! Ay! What's the use of thinking about might at this time?
I gathered my mind and concentrated on the dishes in front of me. Straight to sunset, there is still a small amount left in front of you. It wasn't until this moment that I really realized how difficult it was to be a maid! I pride myself on being extremely generous to my subordinates, but now I find out that even so, Yuhan and Yunqing are also extremely hard in the palace, not to mention those palace maids who live at the bottom.
I sped up and finally washed all the dishes. Just as I was about to return to my residence, Ju Yan came to look for me. "Jingjing, I can't rob them, that's all." She brought the day's dinner to me.
I smiled miserably at Ju Yan, of course she wouldn't understand that what I needed most at this moment was not these foods, but warm blood! "You can eat it yourself, I can bear it!" After saying that, he dragged his scarred body back to his residence.
"Jingjing, these dishes ......" Ju Yan stopped talking.
I turned my head to look at Ju Yan in surprise.
Ju Yan was embarrassed to point to the dishes I washed and said, "These...... Do you have to wipe them all off to finish...... In the past, I used to do things at my lord's house...... I want to come to the palace to be more demanding......" Ju Yan said at the end, his voice was almost inaudible.
I'm so stupid, I didn't think of that! Fortunately, Ju Yan reminded her, otherwise she would be beaten again tomorrow. But this harsh reality made me collapse! Guanmeng .com, the fastest update of the latest chapters of this book, refreshing, I hope you can like it.
