"This girl, my wife invites you over."

As the woman said this, Qin Lian looked in the direction she said, only to find that there were several people sitting in the wing room not far away, and they seemed to be drinking tea around the fireplace.

At a glance, Mrs. Liu was also among them, and the other people seemed to be the wives of wealthy merchants.

Seeing these people, Qin Lian suddenly became timid, "What's the matter with me?" I'm going to get busy in the kitchen. ”

"You can deal with these things later." The woman didn't show any affection, "Please come with me now." ”

Qin Lian clenched her hands, if this time passed, there would definitely be no good thing!

"Miss Qin, what's going on?" The assistant chef next to him asked in a suppressed voice.

"It's nothing, you guys go back first, I'll go over and have a look."

Tomorrow is the banquet of the Liu family, they have been preparing for so long, they can't have an accident at this time.

There are other people over there besides Mrs. Liu, so Mrs. Liu probably won't do anything to her, right?

Qin Lian followed, pushed open the door of the room, and she smelled the fragrance of tea wafting in the air, and several women were sitting there talking.

"Ma'am."

The woman who brought Qin Lian over walked up to Mrs. Liu and said in a low voice.

Mrs. Liu said "um", but ignored Qin Lian and continued to talk and laugh with the people next to her.

The ladies who were sitting at the table with Mrs. Liu looked at her a few times, but did not ask her what she was doing here.

Qin Lian wasn't sure what they meant for a while, so she just stood aside and waited.

After a long time, Mrs. Liu still didn't pay attention to her, and Qin Lian realized that Mrs. Liu was deliberately snubbing her!

Realizing this, her face turned ugly, "Mrs. Liu, may I ask you what is the matter with me?" ”

Mrs. Liu, who was laughing and talking with others around the fireplace, heard her speak, the smile on her face sank, glanced sideways at her, and soon began to talk to others again.

This is going to ignore her completely!

It's disgusting!

Anger surged up from the bottom of her heart, and after Qin Lian struggled with her thoughts, she turned around and wanted to leave.

"What are you doing!?"

Cui'er, who had been standing there and waiting, saw her movements, and quickly walked over and scolded in a low voice, "Madame is here, you are rude!" ”

Qin Lian looked back at her, her voice was slightly cold, "I still have something to do, if you don't have anything to look for me, then I'll go back first." ”

"Madame didn't say let you go!"

“……”

Qin Lian looked at Mrs. Liu, who was calmly using tea over there, and knew in her heart that the other party would not let her go at all, and she was deliberately embarrassed here.

There were still a lot of things waiting for her to do in the kitchen, and if she didn't go back, Su Liuye would soon notice that something was wrong.

Qin Lian endured the emotions in her heart, stepped forward and said to Mrs. Liu, "Madam, may I ask you what is the matter with me?" ”

Mrs. Liu's elegant teacup, as if she had just discovered her existence, said contemptuously, "The tea is cold, you go and pour me a pot of hot tea." ”

Qin Lian glanced at Cui'er, and knew in her heart that this should be the job of the maid of Liu's Mansion, and Mrs. Liu told her this just to embarrass her.

She didn't want to cause trouble, so she could only obediently respond, squatted in the teapot and went to the kitchen, and re-boiled the hot water. After the tea was brewed, she took it back and put it on the table and said respectfully, "Mrs. Liu, the tea has been brewed." ”

"Hmm."

Mrs. Liu answered, but she didn't look at it and continued to chat with others.

At this time, the people in the wing room also saw what was going on, and looked at her eyes either mocking or probing, but no one helped her to speak.

Qin Lian stood beside her, a sense of humiliation filled her heart, and she clasped her hands to endure her anger.

She has not been favored by her parents since she was a child, and she has had to help the family since she was a few years old, often busy from early in the morning to night, and her parents at home often dislike her, but despite this, she has never felt so humiliated as she is now.

The group of ladies in front of them just played her like a wild monkey on the mountain, and they couldn't even compare to the maids they brought with them.

The maid has a master, but she has nothing, and she can be humiliated as much as she wants.

Thinking of this, Qin Lian's heart was even more uncomfortable, and after struggling for a while, she still felt like she had turned around and left.

"What are you doing!"

Cui'er came over to stop her again, her voice stern, "Madame hasn't said you can go yet, where do you want to go?" ”

"It's okay for Mrs. Liu to look for me, it's not good for me to stay here, there is still something waiting for me to be busy in the kitchen, I'll go back first."

"After the winter, my body began to feel uncomfortable, and I haven't been out for several days, but I still hear people talking about cyclamen and fairhouses." Mrs. Liu's faint voice came, "At first, I was still curious, cyclamen and fairview are just newly opened shops, how did they achieve such fame in the town so quickly, but now that I see you, I understand." ”

Mrs. Liu put down the teacup, "It's just that the cyclamen is in charge, and he dares to talk to me like this, what else do you dare not do." ”

This is clearly mocking them!

Qin Lian was even more angry, and said directly, "Madam, if you have something to do with me, even if you are free to order, I will not refuse what I can, but now you let me come over, but you just let me stand next to me, I really don't know what I should do." ”

"You don't know what you're supposed to do, just wait." Mrs. Liu glanced at her.

Such an attitude is no different from teasing a puppy.

"Isn't this the steward of cyclamen?" Someone recognized Qin Lian and asked suspiciously, "Mrs. Liu, what happened, did the steward of the cyclamen do something wrong?" ”

"Of course not." Mrs. Liu said calmly, "I just want to ask her something clearly, so let her wait next to her." ”

"I see."

Saying this, the doubts in the eyes of the questioner intensified, and naturally he would not believe this excuse.

If there was really something to do Qin Lian, he could go directly to the side and ask, or let them go back first, how could he let Qin Lian wait here for so long.

Mrs. Liu also seemed to be aware of this problem, and said to Qin Lian indifferently, "You wait for me outside first." ”

"Wait outside?"

Qin Lian was shocked.

Although it didn't rain today, the cold wind was cold for the past few days, and if she really stood outside and waited, she wouldn't have to be shivering in a while, and the cold wind was blowing on her face like a sharp sword.

"What, what's the problem?"

Mrs. Liu raised her eyes, "Tomorrow is the winter banquet of my Liu Mansion, since this matter is handed over to you cyclamen, then I naturally have to ask clearly." ”

Qin Lian pursed her lips and didn't want to speak.

If she had said yes, Mrs. Liu would have made her wait for a few hours in the cold wind.

She didn't have any questions to ask her, she just tortured her in a different way! But cyclamen did take the order from Liu's house, if she didn't go, wouldn't it make people criticize cyclamen for disrespecting guests?
